trail mascot

[warraghiyagey]

This little guy's been hiking/travelling with us since Mt. Washington. . . . the sombrero is new since South of the Border. . . he thinks it makes him cool. . .

[saimyoji]

the larger and heavier your 'mascot' the faster you will receive your patch.

[Gaiter]

yes he is a cute little bugger!

i don't know if cute is the word to describe it

What if I just carry Rosie O'Donnell half way. . . would that make a difference??

This may seem like a silly question...

You're right, it does especially given all the vitamins and maps you're already intending to carry. How far were you were intending to transport all this stuff again? Just checking.

Was the point of getting tuckerized to be able to add more items? Before long, you'll have added every gram you subtracted and more.

Maybe his mascot can be 'Mappy' the animated map . . . . I'm a dork . . .

I'm a dork . . .

Better to be a dork than a spork.

[lingo]

Better to be a dork than a spork.

On the trail, wouldn't a spork be more useful?

They make those? I want a Mickey Dolenz Pez dispenser!

[Powder River]

I saw several rubber chickens, and a plastic samurai sword. But the one that really made me laugh was this guy who was going pretty light except for the full sized machette, and cricket bat that were strapped to his pack. Oh yeah, and his "pebble" from springer weighed 7 pounds! Those three items probably doubled his pack weight.

That was Charlie. He had a machete too? I know the rubber chicken he had was a full sized one- maybe 12 inches high. Too bad he didn't finish...

[Mrpokey]

I'm bringing a pirate flag on my thru

[dart7383]

Ok, so I have a tradition of taking a gnome with me wherever I go. Anyone have an idea where one might pick up a light weight gnome.

[Pickleodeon]

I have a little garden gnome kit. kinda like these.

In that case, you would be the winner.

a friend sent me a 3" tall Incredible Hulk. I still carry him wherever I go(I carry a daypack day to day as I walk everywhere) or Hiking.

I didn't complete a Thru, but am working on sections. Still carrying and photographing Hulk.

Here's a shot of Donna riding on Snapshot's pack in 2006.

He's planning a PCT hike this year. I imagine Donna will be going along.

It was Charlie, where did he get off the trail?

[Hooch]

Nowadays, I often carry a larger teddy bear named Dewey on many of my shorter trips. But he's not a mascot. He's a cult of personality!

Just ask Hooch.

Don't even start me on this lunatic and his freakin' teddy bear. Actually, I'd say that Dewey is a great stress outlet for Bearpaw and he certainly does have a lot of fun with him. All kidding aside, both Bearpaw and Dewey are good people. Did I just say that?
