    Chuck Norris gets jealous
    Hiking the AT is “pointless.” What life is not “pointless”? Is it not pointless to work paycheck to paycheck just to conform?.....I want to make my life less ordinary. AWOL

    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.
