pic of trail legends neo and minnesota smith

[rafe]

Sorry, but rather than look at a picture of Neo and Minnesota Smith, I'd rather see a photo of the fall colors on the trail in NH. Click on the image to see the full size version. I appologize for being in the photo, I'm not up for nomination!

Beautiful pic, except for that hiker.

he is a trend setter,he carries 6 rolls of toilet paper
he wears 2 sets of gaiters
uses a 0 degree sleeping bag during summer
he carries large amounts of canned food
i just dont understand why he thinks
hillary clinton is not the sexiest woman alive neo

1) I carried less TP than that as a rule. For a 5-day stretch between resupply points, 4 rolls was more the norm for me. Six rolls was for 10+day stretches.

2) I switched to a 40-degree bag at Kincora Hostel, switching back to my zero-degree bag only at Glencliff, thank you very much.

3) My packed canned food typically consisted of one can of corned beef, and perhaps ONE tiny (tuna-can size) of octopus or oysters. Occasionally, I'd have a plastic bottle of jelly (for variety between honey bottles), that sort of thing, but that's not really "canned" to most people, not being in a metal container (any more than is a foil pack of salmon)

4) Hillary Clinton is a socialist, which puts her in the same moral ballpark as other known socialists such as Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, etc. An evil person (such as her or her husband) whose life is a gross net negative I don't normally think of as a sex object.

It's called insecurity, paranoia, fear and OCD.

"insecurity, paranoia, fear" Nah. I don't think that doing a thruhike (especially for anyone hiking mostly alone, w/o groups or dogs) can be said to be ruled by those.

"OCD" Valid point. I have concluded (after doing a thruhike myself) that thruhiking is an exercise is demonstrating beyond any possible doubt that a person has this affliction in a big way.

Not to be disrespectful here but a roll of TP lasts me weeks not days. Are you full of s**t or what?

We hold these truths to be self evident.

1) I eat whole-grained foods when possible. These have lots more fiber than the usual cr*p most people eat.

2) I use TP for other things than just the usual. I clean my glasses with it, blow my nose on it, use it as backup to paper towels for drying my hands and insides of my trailrunners if those run short, etc.

3) I'm thorough with using TP for its original function, not like the hikers I know who claim to use a very few leaves or even just a bare stick or two.

4) TP is cheap, doesn't go bad, doesn't weigh squat, and is very nice to have when you need it (so screw running out of it under normal circumstances). Its only major drawback from the POV of a hiker is its bulk (even after fieldstripping), but the inconvenience from that can be minimized by packing rolls separately, stuffed into otherwise empty spaces.

Wow, it must be bad when you have to start a thread about yourself and calling yourself a trail legend. If you say so neo.

Really now, Maine could shut down a tissue machine with the amount you use, I know women who use much less. Ever heard of snot rockets?, no tissue needed and all true woodsmen use this method. What ta heck did the natives use for centuries and survive? You've been polluting 2000+ miles of trail , that's About 250 rolls of TP scattered along the Appalachian Mountains . Really now, don't you think you could have been a little more consevative with the TP? Imagine if everyone used this much TP on their thru
