I can't believe that a thread about peeing in a bottle got 58 replies and 938 viewings and a post about an all day hiker feed on Mar.25-26 got 7 replies and 159 viewings and dissapeared after 2 days. I could use the help feeding the thru hikers. This feels like High School. I don't have the reputation votes, I guess.

It is pretty astonishing, isn't it? I think it's more a reflection of where peoples minds are than any reflection on your more than generous offer.

Wish I were hiking in March to take advantage of the feed. Heck, I just wish I were hiking!

The hiker feed, while exciting and I wish it did, doesn't concern everyone, as many/most will probably not be able to attend.

I do appreciate the offer, and wish I could make the dates, but I doubt it'll happen for me... But I do appreciate your generosity very much!

Well, I suppose a bit of the non response comes from people like me who are aware of all the genuine problems facing the trail -- and the world -- and wonder about the priority of providing charity to mostly middleclass folks on a six months vacation.

I searched "poop" and the word appears in 119 threads, in every forum including political.
Think of it as a health issue that comes up once, twice, sometimes three times a day. A bad "poop" can indicate illness, a good one can be an almost mystical cleansing experience.
As far as peeing, getting out of a warm sleeping bag, putting on some clammy boots and going out into the three am drizzle to pee is something you think about everytime you use western style bathroom facilities in a nice heated room.
