Personality

“What is your backpacking personality??

fritzoid- OH MY GOSH, we need to stick to a schedule! people!

wanderer-where the !$%& are we?

switchback-man, I'm getting dizzy..

I-am-OM- ~~~~~~~”

“My backpacking personality is very much like my real life personality..very KOOL, very calm”

“It varies...
I do like to get where I'm going so I can drop the pack and chill.But sometimes I wander soaking in the views. And switchbacks do make me dizzy sometimes. :)”

“go go go go go go go”

“Hardcore, don't stop for whiners.”

“Pretty much a fritzoid on the way to the trailhead, then a switchback for the sake of a buzz, after which I tend be a wanderer, until I say screw it and just sit down wherever I am OMmmmmm.”

“I go with the flow. I didn't realize this until attempting my first solo backpacking trip. I never plan anything! Heck, I hardly know how to read a map!

I am a total follower.”

“i'm rad.

mad, glad and bad pimp dad!”

“Laid back and go with the flow,,,I get p****d with uptight people.”

“I like the KISS principle (Keep It Simple, Stupid!) Long, steady hikes. Fast, but slow enough to talk. Avoid anal-retentive types; I work with enough of those!”

“similar to rockbuck. i am usually very anxious to get to the trailhead. especially when there is a several hour drive to get there. once i'm there, i am much more laid back. like to get to the camp area as early as possible so i can hang out and relax. but not so early that i need to run to get there! i enjoy several breaks along the way.”

“I like to get where I'm going, so that I can take my time wandering back.”

“I guess I am a whiner especially when my husband (RavenSeer) miscalculates the hike, nightfall is upon us, we are out of water and miles and miles away from any civilization!”

“I'm pretty laid back. I plan outings with highlights (places/things to see) but how, when and if we get to them all doesn't worry me.

Hi MystyPines, welcome aboard.”

“INTP
"Architect". Greatest precision in thought and language. Can readily discern contradictions and inconsistencies. The world exists primarily to be understood. 1% of the total population.”

“I'm flexible and relaxed. I make sure everything is in order before I go on the hike so I can just enjoy being outside. Of course, weather can always change plans. I become concerned when a real sh!tstorm unleashes its fury but I still know what to do.”

“I don't know what type I am, but I like hiking with flexible, relaxed people who laugh a lot.”

“When I get to hike for myself. . .
. . . . alone, hard and fast. Music in my head.

With a group. I love the company of easy going people who like good conversation and a little wine - no egos. I go with the flow - whatever is best for the group.”

“I'll let ya know when I get there.”

“Whadda you think?!?”

“I like to plan a lot before the hike. To me, it adds a few days of excitement to the whole adventure.
On the trail, I hike fairly fast and enjoy spending most of the day on the trail, exploring at camp, and back to hiking the next day. Some places call for base camping for an extra day though. That is fun too, allowing for a few side trips or a lazy day in the meadows, or by the lake or river.”

“Jeckle and Hyde. Some of both!”

“long-haired country bumpkin”

“However fast or slow I want to hike, but I'm not going up that cliff.”

“I like to speed hike, but then soak in a view for as long as I feel like. I try to be light weight, but that never works.”

“Buddha Bear- I picture Andrew Dice Clay. When I fall behind you start to yell at me 'WHAT ARE YOU A WIMP OR SOMETHING!??? KEEP UP!! YA LITTLE !$%&!!'”

“Organized unless without sleep.

Slow and steady....
Hmmmm?

Until I get close to home then all hell breaks loose.”

“I like to whine. I know that is an ultimate evil in bping, but that is what I do.”

“I have no personality.

;-)”

“Buddha is not quite as mean as he comes across on TT... He was very laid back on our dayhike. I don't think he yelled at anybody!

BB - am I ruining your tough guy image?”

“Slow and easy. Yup, that's me. Leave me in the dust. I'll eventually catch up. What can I say, I'm fat and old but I love being out there. My nickname shouls have been snail.”

“I'm a wanna-be-hiker. I'm the one sitting on my front steps at night staring up at the stars, wishing I was on the trail. Let's see... August weekend canceled due to three kids on antibiotics. September weekend canceled due to no day care. October 2, solo moonlit hike canceled due to rain and broken finger. I know a broken finger is no big deal but I had just smashed it and because the bone was exposed, I've had to keep it bandaged and take mega doses of antibiotics to prevent bone infection. Dontchaya just love run-on sentences? :o)”

“I guess that last post makes me a whiner. There! I admit it. Are you happy?! :oP

I'm not this bad most of the time. :o)”

“exposed bone??? i'd cancel my hike, too.”

“i have had an exposed bone before.

oh! nevermind....”

“Yeah, me too. Hang in there and it'll happen for you.”

“Put it in cruise and let the truck get me there. I make plans for the trip only if others go. Solo trips, I decide where to go when I get the permit. Like to keep a good pace, don't like to stop a lot, except for photos. Pretty relaxed outdoors. Try not to whine since I usually hike with guys. But I like to get in early enuf to wash my hair and rinse the sweat off. Don't have to think about packing, cuz everything is there from the weekend before. Just have to add food & clean clothes.”

“I'm a nymph, I live in the mountains, forest & water (well, at least on the weekends). And that's not nymph-o (look it up). DMV wouldn't give me the license plate I wanted the first time, so I reapplied, changed a few letters and got it.”

“I like to think I am relaxed. I go both fast and slow. I live in the now when I am outside.”

“Sunny, sorry about the finger! OWIE! And sorry about the cancelled hikes. I know what you mean, been there with the kiddies. It does get better as they get older. I promise.”

“I'm bipolar.

Mister Hyde one day, and Doctor Jeckle the next.

:)”

“ENTJ bordering on INTJ. You're an architect, pathman? Cool...catch you at the next AIA convention.”

“Remind me never to hike with TownDawg;-)”

“Pamster: Naw, it's a hoot. It's like hiking with TWO people for the price of one!

(I'm not really bipolar, tho)”

“Pathman is a doctor.”

“I'm not a doctor, but I play one on the radio.”

“Pamster: He is /TOO/ bipolar, don't let him kid ya!”

“What? Who said that? I don't think that is funny.”

“He definitely has a split personality, but he will deny it if you ask him!”

“That is NOT funny! You are going to be in so much trouble.
