Backpacker Magazine Sucks!

“Actually I like Backpacker - but I'll only say it once.”

“Outside is a lot worse, IMO. Much flashier, much more oriented to armchair types.

I liked the best places issue...because it sends folks to Yosemite and the JMT, both of which I avoid; and in Seki it recommends the Rae Lakes Loop, which I also avoid. ;-)”

“I like backpacker magazine. It may not be perfect, but it's the only backpacker specific magazine out there.”

“Violin, can you imagine sharing a camp site next to the person who has the "surround sound" going??”

“Give it to MIKEY!

He'll eat it!

He'll eat ANYTHING!”

“Backpacker mag rated the Grand Canyon the best place to hike in AZ

gee, I could have written that”

“I never brought a radio with me, but I was surprised at the number of AT throughhikers that I met that had 'em.”

“Cell phones on the trail may be inconsiderate, but a stereo is the mark of the devil!”
