[treesloth]

I learned that a lot of them lie about the size of the bottle opening they require :rolleyes:

Ha! How did you find out? Sounds like someone wishes they could pee in a bottle..... ;-)

[treesloth]

Oops.. I guess to keep with the jist of the thread: Today I learned that the ability to pee in a bottle without leaving your shelter should not be taken for granted.

[Kookork]

Actually I created the thread with posting useful information in mind. That's why I didn't put it in the humor forum. Useful and comic seem to fit.

[moytoy]

I learned that GrayBlazer hit a bear to protect his wife. And that's awesome.

Sorry, I retract all I learned today. The only thing I learned today was that I still need to pay attention to the forum section before I post. Which is still a lot to learn in one day.:D

I learned that the new invasive non-native lizard that ran across my garden at 50 mph is called Jesus Christ.

[Sarcasm the elf]

I learned that the new invasive non-native lizard that ran across my garden at 50 mph is called Jesus Christ.

You've got Green Basilisks in your neck of the woods?

The question I've always wondered, is it called the Jesus Christ lizard because of its ability to "walk" on water, or simply because that's the first thing most people exclaim when they see them running?

The question I've always wondered, is it called the Jesus Christ lizard because of its ability to "walk" on water, or simply because that's the first thing most people exclaim when they see them running? The words I exclaimed on the first sighting were not so kind. I wasn't expecting a baby dinosaur to drop out of the tree. We must have at least twenty kinds of lizards around here now, most of them not native, haven't seen an Iguana for a few years since the last frost. I had though I'd seen a Basilisk on the local bike trails, this was the first time up close and in my yard.

[jeffmeh]

I learned that if I sit on my front steps conversing over mobile phone with my son, then the woodpeckers' peckings are loud enough for him to hear them.

Yeah, we all think our aim is much better than it is, and use too narrow a bottle. ;)

[rick2911]

I too learned that I should have an empty bottle with me at night. And I also learned that I can use my treadmill carrying my full pack to prep for a hike.

[jeffmeh]

Woah, that water's cold!

Yeah, and it's deep too!

[coach lou]

I know we all learned that the sleepy alligator in the noon-day sun, is always, sleepin' by the river just like he usually done:D

[FarmerChef]

I learned that I should not use my bladder to pee in when I have to go at night. Or was it that I should use my bladder. I thought I had to use my bladder to do either but now I'm thinking I use my bottle. Oh well, it was to be or not to be or something like that...I also learned that some gatorade bottles come in wide mouth and regular...;)

[chris too]

I learned that a lot of guys pee in a bottle, of some sort, at night on the trail. I did not know this... :eek: I can't say that I blame them.. :p

I learned that someone's been hangin' out in the women's forum. :)

[HikerMom58]

I've learned that there are a lot of humorous peeps on this site. The funniest ones are sometimes the funniest when they don't mean to be.:D

I've also learned that I am totally hooked on WB and have withdrawal symptoms if I try to stay away. (no surprise there, I'm sure ;))

[Gray Blazer]

I am always serious.

[perdidochas]

I learned that a lot of guys pee in a bottle, of some sort, at night on the trail. I did not know this... :eek: I can't say that I blame them.. :p

I think it would be more accurate to say some guys pee in a bottle at night.

[HikerMom58]

I think it would be more accurate to say some guys pee in a bottle at night.

Ha!! Yes, u are correct ;) While reading that thread, I have to admit, I was relieved to see that not all of y'all do it. Like I said before tho, I don't really blame the ones that do but I feel I would be one that would just "man up" and get out of the tent, shelter or hammock.( unless the conditions were as WM described) That's prob. because I don't have a choice. I think I'm glad I don't. :p I do everything in my power to make sure I won't "feel the need" before :sun up. It's been working for me. :>)

[Train Wreck]

I learned that men in red trucks are not your friend :eek:

[importman77]

I've learned that pee bottle opening envy exists.

[Kookork]

I learned that *******5.56 is buggy and hangs up, better to wait for version 6.00

LOL, We might have to wait for a loooooong time for a better version since Old habits die hard .

To be honest,I love drama in WhiteBlaze from time to time and it seems *****5.56 is a potential source of drama.

[Kookork]

True but According to ultra light folks, the lighter the better, so hikers with heavier" plumbing system " are in a disadvantage position here.

[HikerMom58]

One more post to 7K dude! Only 20K or so more to go to catch up to the Wolf.

[Teacher & Snacktime]

I learned that you can't escape statistics: 95% of all (home) accidents occur in the bathroom, so of course my section hike was curtailed from an injury from a fall on the way to the bathroom facility(shower) at a state park...go figure.

[rocketsocks]

One more post to 7K dude! Only 20K or so more to go to catch up to the Wolf.Hey nice catch..didn't even notice that and hey it gives me somthin to look forward to

[Chaco Taco]

I learned that alot of people pee in bottles. I have never done such a thing, I just pee in my sleeping bag, jack daniels was involved, dont hassle me :0
I am reminded of another dumba** moment when I started long distance hiking. I was in The Smokies and thought someone had just left a nice nalgene bottle behind at Spence Field. Being the newbie hiker I was then, I thought this was a score. I took the bottle and rinsed it out really well with Bronner's. No matter what anyone says, Dr. Bronner's will not take the smell of piss out of a plastic bottle. Glad I didnt filter water into it. Ha, I filtered water....What a newb :)

[Chaco Taco]

Yea and why have you guys gotta pick on us ULer's? Not our fault you guys are glutons for punishment and think you need to carry stuff you wont use. You freaks and your camp shoes :D

[Kookork]

That would actually be version 7.62...

Then trail Name: AK 47 fits the bill.

[Tuckahoe]

And dont leave out 63mm, 51mm or 35mm :D

[max patch]

I learned that people will not take toothpaste to save weight. I learned that people will cut the handle off their toothbrush to save weight. I learned that people will cut the margins off their maps to save weight. I learned that people will cut an inch off a strap on their pack to save weight.

And I learned that the same people will carry an extra nalgene just for the pleasure of pissing in their tent.

I'm done learning. My head hurts.

I just learned something from my buddy RS --- I think it's cool how he (and others) find humor in things that I don't. I like how we are all different/take things differently and still can get along, when we really want too. ;) #youguysrock

I'll bet Marsha, the Kent Lady, is a pussy cat just like the Wolf!

[Chair-man]

I learned that some people get beat mentally before they ever set foot on the trail.
I learned that you just can't dwell only on the negatives before you ever get started.

[moytoy]

I learned that a picture is truly worth a thousand words. I learned that there is a Washington Monument on the AT. I surly have read that fact before but had forgot it. Today I read it and saw a picture. I won't forget that fact now:)

[Edro]

[HikerMom58]

I'll bet Marsha, the Kent Lady, is a pussy cat just like the Wolf!

I want to learn today who ,Marsha, the Kent Lady is/ er was........she kicked me when I was down. Alligator stepped in- I haven't seen her since.

Was she always rude or just sometimes?

[coach lou]

She makes periodic appearances, advertises herself(?:rolleyes:) as a trail angel. I:rolleyes:, because some think she is just trolling. After she trashed you and others, maybe she healed the gator bites and chilled. No matter, you have other friends in the Nutmeg state that will help you out how ever you need!:sun

Thanks Coach. :) I may be needing your help or at least a visit when I start hiking further North. I've always wondered about her and who she was. I hold no ill feelings towards her any more, I don't know her at all.

So today I learned about Kent lady, thanks to my friend, Lou. :)

[MDSection12]

I learned that a picture is truly worth a thousand words. I learned that there is a Washington Monument on the AT. I surly have read that fact before but had forgot it. Today I read it and saw a picture. I won't forget that fact now:)

Add this fact; that Washington Monument is a prime location for watching the Spring and Fall raptor migrations! :)

[Teacher & Snacktime]

Even better than Kent?

I learned that while TMobile works at the top of Schagticoke Mountain at 11pm. it does not work anywhere in the town of Kent, CT at any hour.

I learned that there is only one public telephone in the town of Kent, and it is out of order. I learned that Kent has no Police Dept. of it's own. And finally I learned that if you sit on a park bench in the center of town from 8:00pm to 3:00am on a Monday night, locals will sit with you for hours on end keeping vigil until your husband and daughter arrive to take you home.

[HikerMom58]

I learned today that I like the new WB username - question. :cool:

I learned (from Winged Monkey) that he and max patch are not the same person. (not a surprise) ;)

I learned that Chin is the BEST resource for "real time" info on "Joe to Go"... I'd say it's a "GO"!! But we'll see....:D

I learned that I miss Chaco Taco posts along with some others. :(

Last but not least- I learned that I'm glad moytoy started this thread. :p
