Lesser of two evils....

[saimyoji]

Which would you rather meet on the trail:

An irresponsible hiker with a cell phone OR

An irresponsible hiker with a dog.

[DavidNH]

wow that's a toughee. I really hate'em both. But i will probably go with the irresposnable hiker with a cell phone cause he will never shut up. The hiker with the dog is also annoying but eventually the dog will go away or go to sleep. perhaps I will even help the dog go to sleep.... nudge nudge..

{Coming out of the Rhodademdrom thicket she found herself confronted by two hikers. One had a small King Charles terrier, tail wagging and ready to lick her. The other had a fearsome cellphone, teeth bared, ring-tone snarling ferociously as it struggled to get loose and attack!}

[jackiebolen]

I would say I'd less rather meet a dog. The cellphone can really do me no harm except prevent me from getting a bit of sleep while the dog could bite or slobber all over me, etc, etc.

[prozac]

Both. With any luck the dog will bite the a**hole with the cellphone.

An irresponsible hiker with a cell phone OR

An irresponsible hiker with a dog.

A hiker with no DogPhone hangups!

[TooTall]

I'd say an irresponsible dog with a cell phone would be the worst.

Qualify the term irresponsible first.

[Mouse]

You know, the sort of dog that doesn't tell anyone where they are going, brings nothing but jeans and cotton sweatshirts in the Whites, never bearbags, leaves crumbs in the shelters, skips out on chores at hostels, leaves trash, does laundry in the springs........

[FatMan]

Been awhile since we've had a good hate the dogs on the trail thread. Thank goodness you got one started. The anti-dog crowd just can't stand a vacuum.

[fiddlehead]

All this hate goin on here, some of you need to go hike somewhere in the wilderness. Not much to hate there

[saimyoji]

'Cept dogs and cell phones.

[SGT Rock]

If I had to take one, it would have to be the cell phone guy. At least I can tell him he is an ******* and he will understand the language.

well yes..but U would need to have a cell phone yourself..so U could call him and tell him

[Uncle Silly]

I'm amused by the amount of anti-dog vehemence around here. I never saw that on the trail with my dog. Do y'all actually ever get out and hike?

Actually yes. And maintenance, and a few other things. Honestly, I'm probably too nice to folks on the trail with dogs, even when their dog is trying to attack my 7 year old son while the ******* owner was no where in sight. Of course he was polite enough to tell me to chill out as his three dogs were circling us with raised hackles and bared teeth. Must have been my fault for minding my own buisness or something.

But being the polite non-dog hiker I just said it was cool.

Gosh, we anti-dog people are real jerks, we only act like asses on the internet while other do it on the trail without ever realizing it.

[Mouse]

I was just describing irresponsible dogs. I have nothing at all against them or the dogs who bring proper clothing and equipment to the Whites, pick up trash, keep springs clean, maintain trails.......

I even like the dogs who are furry and wag their tails!

Yeah, and if we had a dog named Jack Warren, we'd really be having some fun!
