    Does 5% mean that 5% of the people on the trail are twisted, or that all of the people on the trail are 5% twisted? Very ambiguous poll!

    Default twystid

    Oh, I understood it to mean they were twisted like those trees that try to follow the sun - therefore I voted 5% to cover those LD hikers that are up before the sun and end their day with a head lamp on.

    I will just rely on my wife's opinion for the answer and assume that I am twisted.

    Default Twisted ...

    It's all a matter of perspective and, of course, degree.

    This question kinda reminds me of people talking about the "return to normal life" when we hit Katahdin last year.

    If you combine this poll with the AT Sex thread you'll get the percentage of hikers who do nude twister in shelters.

    Brushing up against the sweaty skin of any nude hiker and having to hold that position on a twister sheet after five days of hiking in the rain in the summer heat of New York would cause my insurance company to cancel my coverage if they ever found out about it.

    Poll not clear enough, please clarify! I think part of being human is to be twisted, and we're twisted by many forces - television, peer groups, society, religion, money, etc.

    Actually too deep of a subject for me to go into now but for the most part I would say that hikers would generally be less twisted than the normals in our society. Why? Well, unlike 90% of our TV driven dreamlanders they are out there using their legs and experiencing nature directly, seeking to experience something greater than themselves and finding it in nature.
