Nobody here came out of there mothers womb with leki trekking poles!!! Everyone here was a "newbie" at one time.... So instead of dogging start educating. Alot of hikers do one big hike and they get this chip on their shoulders like they r gods. Relax!!!!!
Personally, I prefer the term "Pilgrims"

Don't worry, many AT hikers even the thru hikers lack seriously when it comes to real outdoor experience or knowledge.
Most that attempt and even many that complete the AT wouldn't have a clue how to navigate a forest without it being well travelled and white blazes painted on the trees. Many would have no idea how to read a map and compass.
Most wouldn't have a clue how to make a fire if their bic failed.
Most have no idea about edible plants or even the difference between a spurce and balsum fir.
The reality is, most AT hikers simply slap on a bunch of synthetic gear, and walk for six months and at the end feel they are expert hikers... Unfortunetely, most would suffer tremendously if ever actually put to the test in bad situation...
But hey, at least they get out there and enjoy the outdoors...
So no worries, just be confident in your own skills and don't put to much stock in the opinions of the experts...
And above all HYOH
What does HYOH mean?

Actually once you complete your first thru you do become a demigod. :banana Unfortunately it's only in your own mind. It is still much better than a patch. After your second you become hiker trash, if you have not done so already. It's quite the come down.

I am not sure if this is a real thread or just one created by the regulars for something to do. But if it is real then I guess Punkin has now learned that white blaze is not a hiking site, it is a site created so that the WB regulars can have something to do while they are not hiking.
Each and every thread becomes their own private social. I do not like the hijacking of every thread or the negativity. I for one will be seriously considering not be renewing my membership to WB. So all you regulars can feel good about possibly driving away another donating member. And by the way I do not see donating member by some of your names.
P.S. I had Black Diamond poles attached to my hands right after birth. It helped with my balance during the early years. And the flick locks made adjusting them to my ever changing height much easier.

The term being created on the Internet itself, "newbie" can mean many different things.
I would be a "newbie" on the Trail from PA/NY border up to Katahdin even though I've been hiking on the AT as many years as some of you are in age :eek:
Hang in there...soon they'll be another word created and you'll be old news.

Newbies are newbies and have their own issues. But some of the worse, mean-spirited comments I've seen have come from the some of the most senior White Blaze members.
I think we should limit posting to those who are kinda not too new, not too old, but just right.:-?

The 'regulars' lost faith and stopped donating when the censorship of the 'regulars' started who were merely trying to chase the nasty trolls away. So now the nasty trolls are enabled and the 'regulars' have to be a little nicer about dissing the trolls. :rolleyes: takes more bandwidth and more nonsense... and less donating as a result... but hey, its the internet... have fun :)
Punkinpuss, if you want to be serious about any questions, start a straight forward thread. many good folks happy to help without the attitude. best wishes.

Wow! You seem like a real outdoorsman/survivalist. Thanks for taking the time to share your vast knowledge with all us newbies.
Your most welcome... But my intent was to suggest to the OP not to take the WB attitude to seriously because many AT hikers have little to no outdoor experience other than following a blazed trail for 2000 miles... Many may as well be walking on the side of the road or a sidewalk...
Nor do I feel I have a vast knowledge... I have no doubt I'd feel incredibly out of my element in a jungle or desert or even at high elevations. But in the North East, i'm confident I could survive indefinitely if forced to off the land... I can thank my father for that, he was diligent at ensuring my brother and I understood and could survive in the bush if need be... I'm no survivor man, but I could manage if forced to...

Pootz-There are different groups/cliques as well as a range of viewpoints within the membership of WB. It's a balancing act between competing philosophies. Unfortunately when we make concessions to one group/individual, someone else is unhappy.
Today's troll is tomorrow's buddy. Not everyone who seems a troll is actually one. We have to allow for a broad range of diversity because all of you are weird:D. It's what your non-hiking friends tell you isn't it;).

I think a good rule of thumb on the trail is this: You can generally hang at shelters and the like with any backpackers and have a good time. They're an accepting lot and will encourage you and make you smile.
However, if any of them mentions "WhiteBlaze.net" you know they are pricks and they will be on here making fun of you as soon as they get off they trail. This is an example of when you should just move on. If a shelter crowd makes you uncomfortable then move on. Nothing will make you uncomfortable quicker than a WBer.

what crawled up your butt and died? nothing further from the truth... meeting in real life often brings about friendship and understanding, not this bs you speak of... unless you are seriously 'tarded. :)
....plus if you lose your sleeping bag, food, shelter, warm clothing, map, etc to marauding bands of grizzly bears with opposable thumbs, you just might need to make a fire. :p

What you say may be true but there is no proof of that on this site.

I met a fair number of WB'ers on the AT before this site existed. Many are a good bit different from how they appear online. For me personally, I'm more restrained on this site and more of a wild child out there in the real world. Some curmudgeons here are pretty great folks out there.
Spend more time on the trail. That's where the proof is at.
I find that this site offers wisdom, humor and the occasional I must say sarcasm, but thats just what you will find in the first few post. After that it gets back to is there such a thing as a Warraghiyagey, UFO, BigFoot or his little brother tiny toe.

Restrict your replies to something based on the original thread or something that in some way going to help answer the original question.
Comedy threads are fun, but hijacking a serious thread and turning it into one takes away from the original question.
belittling someone for their lack of knowledge or different style of hiking is unnecessary and shows your ignorance.
Do not give advise unless you have real experience and knowledge on the topic.
We all know your views on shelters, water treatment, purists, thru hiking etc. No need to be negative. "shelters suck" is not what someone is looking for when they ask shelter questions.

This has been an enjoyable thread to read as I'm in to beat the heat. :sun Working and living on the trail was interesting (to me) in that I got to meet so many people. In cyberspace it seems like most hikers are WBers, but on the trail its kinda like the real world :eek: and most haven't heard of this site. Most WB/trail newbies had not applied the advice passed here and still carried too much but were on their way to figuring it out- in real life. Look at all the people on this site who had to actually (?) carry 60lbs! before they figured out (read a book r sumpin) 30lbs is easier. Thank those gods indeed.:rolleyes:

Well, either that or the fact that the official ATC websites lists this among the websites recommends to find out more info about the trail. That's how I wound up here.
To the OP....Just go hike. Start off slow, so if you mess up it isn't a big deal, and work up from there. You sound like I did about 2 months ago when I first got here. Ignore it, do what you want, hike how you want, wear what you want...the opinions and comments of WBer's aren't going to get you to the end of the trail, only you can do that.

It's noncompetitive golf.
Actually, this is quite accurate. Golf is and of itself noncompetitive, you play the course, not opponents. In fact, the Rules of Golf state that your playing partner is a "fellow competitor." Hiking is much the same when you think about it. You carry your clubs (backpack), you play the course differently according to your style and all you want is to make the cut and get to the 72nd hole and earn a check (Katahdin or Springer). Very good analogy.
They say golf is a good walk, spoiled. Maybe I should have said it's unspoiled golf. ;)

I do enjoy playing golf although it's been years since I have been out on the course....think my slice went away by now?:rolleyes:
Has anyone ever hit a golf ball from one end of the trail to the other? Maybe throwing a football the entire trail would be cool? Any ideas on who could or should write the rules for these kinds of endeavors? Seems to be no shortage of rule writer uppers always camped out here at WB.

I've had nothing but positive experiences meeting WBers. I've even become really good friends with one or two.
In shelters, on the other hand, I've met a lot of jack butts who were totally full of themselves. I do think there's a culture of machismo on the AT, which is evidenced both online and in shelters. But hidden in there are also a lot of really cool people who share a passion for the trail.
I am not sure if this is a real thread or just one created by the regulars for something to do. But if it is real then I guess Punkin has now learned that white blaze is not a hiking site, it is a site created so that the WB regulars can have something to do while they are not hiking.

Maybe cuz you kind of creeped her out a little. You commented on her pics in her gallery then start a thread wondering if anyone draws, then ask her to check out your pics in a-friggin-nother thread you started. . . Dude. . . you might not wanna wrangle with a red head, and from my understanding she has a boyfriend. . . .

I came here back when I was planning my 2007 hike and I didn't have a clue what the heck I was doing. I was constantly posting long, rambling posts about how I couldn't fit my stuff in my pack, what order I should do my nightly chores, what gear to get, and on and on.
I got SO much help from WBers in planning my hike. I had lots of people talk me down from my mini-freak outs, offers of used gear, and the list goes on. I asked lots of stupid questions but I don't recall ever being made to feel stupid.
As far as meeting WBers on the trail, I met Geek my first day out at the top of Springer..waiting for me with a drink and a hug. Can't get much better than that.

There is a difference between a information thread and a chat room. Sometimes you go off topic and flood the thread with stuff that is way out of the subject. Making one off topic remark now and then isn't so bad, but you have a tendency to make whatever the tread might be about, all about you. It can be frustrating and annoying and so that is why people mess with you sometimes. Thats what I think, maybe, just an opinion.
BTW, if you are not prepared to have people talk neg about your art, don't show it. Don't call yourself an artist just cause you can draw some sketchs.

All the folks that call someone a newbie were once called newbie. So let them have their tradition. It is not meant as an insult - more like a right of passage - a term of acceptance. A person has to pay their dues - they can't just walk into the hiker tribe and climb to the top of the totem pole. So if someone calls you a newbie look at it as acceptance into the tribe - one day it will pass.
I prefer the term 'booter'. That is what we called new guys when we got out of boot camp - man it would be so funny to pass them and hollar "BOOTER". I used to laugh my head off when they got mad about it. I got called booter, they got called booter, and I am sure that, now, 30 years later there are guys being called booter. Tradition - its a tribal thang.

Why can't it be both???

Only if Warghy doesn't mind!:D (You're starting to creep me out!:sun)

I'm not sure what this is but I wouldn't eat it at gunpoint. Why is there a random leg sitting on the dish. I give it a 4 on presentation. Perhaps it tastes really good, I don't know.

Total BS post...is that Mason Dixon line drawn in sand ? Is that the same thing as the greasy/greazy line?
BTW,crayfish are found all around the world.:rolleyes:
Umm, mudcap, you just don't understand. They're not crayfish, they're not crawdads, they're crawfish. And no they're not found all over the world and only Southern folks know how to cook them. You and Homer can keep your "lobstah boils" and your freaking chowder, but leave us the heck alone. And I don't BS and I resent strongly that remark. Not nice, but you can come to a CRAWFISH boil if you bring the beer.

4 of 4? What? Were the judges retarded? ...from Ethiopia?
BS there.
That plate demonstrated everything NOT to do in a presentation. Hell, the grease spatter in the lower left would give to a "0".
BS.
It looked like you just threw all the crap on the plate while drunk.
You get a perfect score in the deformed pile of slop category.

If I was cooking for company I would have cleaned up the grease spatter....that was just for me and the wife. I took the picture and wrote down the recipe....not that it matters to you. I work for one of the finest restaurants on the east coast....I think I know a thing or two about presentation.

I just try and share all of the fun and cool stuff about hiking to people I meet that are still trying to learn about the trail. Although, I really consider myself neither new or old in the hiking world, i learn new things each time I go out. Thats the beauty of it all. People that complain about the whole rivalry between new and old really need to get a life.

I agree. Just as it's silly to fall in love with a piece of gear that may be right for this hike and this time it may not be right for the next one. Just as we have changed are gear over time we learn to do things different. Hiking teaches us to adapt as needed. The hiking I did as a young man is light years from what I do today. Plus...I'm just not as super as I once was.:)
