...it's home...wandering amid nature is going home.
I'm out on the trail so much that...I'm sometimes momentarily bewildered when called my legal name.
I'm out on the trail so much that...when my GF really wants my attention she'll refer to me as Dogwood or DW.

My pack is so light that when I put it on and step on a scale my weight goes down.

I don't fret over my gear and only engage in conversations in gear if asked a question.
I know where the Knorrs section is in every Dollar general and grocery chain.
My stuff has sort of a built in odor to it.
I sometimes wonder if the trail ever thinks about me....
I get 7 weeks of vacation a year. 3 more years and I get 8 weeks a year. I spend most of that time in the woods or on the river.

Only twice? You need to get out more, man.
I'm out on trail so much that I can't sleep when indoors any more. Opening all the windows and playing a "nature sounds" CD helps a little.

I'm out on the trail so much that ... no, durn it, I'm not out on the trail all that much. I'd like to be, and you guys are turning me green with envy.
I'm on the trail so much that ... batteries died in all my gadgets so I pitched the dead weight and now I enjoy nature without needless distractions.

Sometimes I see both sides within an hour or so. Usual down hill first, then back up hill.

I'm on the trail so much the words General Delivery are part of my home address.
I'm on the trail so much when the cupboards are empty back home I have at least 30 of the same meals already packaged up for trail stored in the gear closet to eat.
I'm on the trail so much I named my dog PCT Express.

Gee, I'm truly just a weekender, and even I do that (not the Companion, I work with some lesser trails). Take careful notes and GPS logs, and bug the hiking club people with enough corrections, and pretty soon you'll find them bugging you.

My house is in disrepair (too many things to list), been trying finalize a will for 8 months, needed to buy new office clothes for 1.5 years, can only tell what color my car is after a rain storm, feel the pull to be more altruistic but instead just give money and best wishes,
oh wait was this supposed to be humorous? my bad....
