Life begins at the end of your comfort zone!
Or you could just carry a normal form of ID..... NAHHHHHHH dogtags are alot cooler
my dog had a secondary tag on her collar, that said her name, my name(including my trail name) a phone #
and it also said we were hiking the appalachian trail(so they knew we were hiking together) and yes we had a leash(you never know)
if you like it-go with it :-)
Is it protocol on the AT to place one tag in the victim's mouth and the other in your own left shirt pocket?

I think always having ID on your person is a wise idea.
If you don't live in the south, you might take care there to enunciate when discussing this topic. As in " You got any I.D.? ", and the response too often will be " 'bout what? "
Okay, that off my chest ... I'm with jj2044 here. It seems to me that the drivers license I carry is sufficient. Certainly some sort of identification in the backpack is a good idea too.
Dog tags made practical sense in the service; I'm not inclined to wear something like that now. Exception might be going for a run in clothes without pockets, but that doesn't apply to hiking scenarios.

What about naked hiker day?Exception might be going for a run in clothes without pockets, but that doesn't apply to hiking scenarios

Hike Naked Day is the Summer Solstice, June 21, so it should be a bit warmer.
For me, it's easy. I have what is called a "meat tag" from my time in service. My dog tag information, including blood type, tattooed on my left rib cage. So I'm covered when I'm uncovered!
If people spent less time being offended and more time actually living, we'd all be a whole lot happier!
Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.
