It's A Slippery Slope

“1st you get the backpack, hiking boots & camera...

Then you get the better camara.
Then you get the GPS.
Then you get a better backpack.
Then you get a better tent.
Then you get better company to backpack with (TT)...

where does the madness end???? Now I have to go to Nepal hiking!

“Gee that sucks.

Can I go too?”

“newgirl, get out while you can! Be happy taking a walk in your beautiful backyard!!”

“i have what i want.”

“Eventually you will turn to crime to support your gear habit.”

“Is backpacking non-competitive?”

“Wants vs. needs. Do you NEED that new (fill in the blank) or just want it?

I am pretty happy just getting out with my (almost) 10 year old gear.”

“There is always a new high tech or lower weight gadget I need. Regardless, I think backpacking is a relatively inexpensive hobby overall.”

“Yup.”

“GPS. What is that for?
I pack with the tried and true, and much of it is inexpensive. The rest is just for gear enthusiasts.”

“Someone just sent me an e-mail with white powder on it. What do I do?”

“Don't lick it!!!!”

“That slope is slicker than whale sh!t”

“Man, you guys are making me nervous. I have a child ya' know.”

“lol. Yeah! You are here newgirl. I was getting worried about ya.”

“Anybody know a town called Slippery Rock?”

“Didn't Bush tell U all to go spend and boost up the economy!!! I just bought a wide angle lens, and a new camera case for my camera last week.”
