Trail names

“Well, it could have been worse. At least it wasn't bobbit!”

“LOL @ sklukaz! An excellent point!”

“Thanks tx, I am really an alpha male but it didn't sound so good. I like the myth, tis fitting since I have my cubs but am inbetween packs for now.”

“I hear ya Lobo, I rate as the Alpha Female with cubs also. I guess you could say we are our own pack?

Hunting sure is lean when there is only one Alpha in the pack though..LOL”

“I'm new to bping, I was new to TT, and I'm a girl. Simple.”

“hunting was pretty poor this year also. I tracked down one beer and a box of mac and cheese, it was tough the mac and cheese almost landed a fatal blow. I have been called a pack of something before or was that a sack of something.”

“I don't know where the the "blue" comes from-just a nice alliterative touch. But the belch, I earned that the old fashioned way.”

“"Alpine" is pretty self-explanatory, but my first name also happens to be "Alan". It seemed like a good fit.

BobK: If you're lookin' for a photography related name there should be lots of possibilities. How 'bout Filter, Winder, Emulsion, or Cable Release? Well, maybe not...”

“or maybe tripod, viewfinder or focus.”

“BTW, I'd keep "switchback". That seems like a great hiking handle.”

“Because I race on skis all winter long. Slalom and Giant Slalom. Even when not in the race course, I like to ski fast.”

“I read this article in Backpacker or Outside about a lady who took women out for wilderness trips. She gave them wolfsister status after they successfuly completed the trip. I take newbie female type people out all the time and tell them if they sleep out in the woods two nights in a row they are "wolfsisters".
Besides I'm a girl and everyone knows girls always run in packs!”

“yep and they bring home the bacon too”

“packs? not me i prefer to go solo”

“just to throw this out i have a brother with the trail name "pop n' fresh"”

“Was SARBoy...quit SAR so it's no longer applicable...went on a hike with Trailartist, and spent 20 minutes waiting for a marmot to pose for a picture (and even got pretty close to it when she was sure it would run off). Finally got the pic. Trailartist dubbed me marmot at that point.”

“When you live in Pennsylvania, hike, and have absolutely NO imagination, you come up with this.”

“This thread has to be some sort of record for most posts in a single day. Congrats SN!”

“Bequeathed Sassafras by my husband. I'm not sure why...”

“Born and raised in California and proud of it”

“MOLE IS MY NAME AND I'VE SOLD MY SOLE TO MOLESKIN”

“mine is not as creative as the others. It is my initials.”

“I always thought it was because you're wild. I'm kinda dissapointed.”

“vixen because i admire foxes and trixs, well... i like to play jokes on those who dare to cmap with me
HEE HEE HEE”

“Follow me up the trail and I''l show you :)”

“To add to the record....

I work, rescue and play in the mountains.”

“Well...it's just my name.”

“Mondale?”

“Walkindude = A dude that walks”

“Guess how I got my name?!?!”

“like the dog but uh...lose the human”

“hee hee hee just kidding bud”

“no you weren't. keep the dawg”

“Hoooowwwwllllllllllll!”

“Actually my trail name came from a book/movie

"The Windwalker"

This is from the introdution...

"As Indians, we are moved when we contemplate the Windwalker, an old man who is a child of Mother Earth and the Great Creator. Through him we see the spirit of our people, a people with total reverence for life- reverance for Earth-Maker, the giver of life; for our relationship with Him; for the earth, which is seen not as an object for exploitation but as an inseperable part of existence and a complement in forming eternity."
John C. Rainer, Jr.
Taos Pueblo-Creek-Cheyenne”

“When they were little, I read the Lord of the Rings to my kids, while sitting around campfires. My daughter called me strider a couple times, and it seemed a reasonable handle for this forum. Can't bring myself to capitalize it tho - I don't pretend to have the same 'stature' as Telcontaur.”

“I can't believe I haven't jumped in on this thread yet. My name is from wearing lipstick on the trail. I just feel comfortable with it on, and I use it to moisturize my lips.”

“I wore Clinique lipstick with SPF on the 30 day trip. My lips never chapped!”

“I have a German Shorthair Pointer bitch who looks like a birch tree....”

“It's something unique and not just ripped off from Tolkien. "Radaghast the brown, Radaghast the Fool".(It's one of my favorite bits, I nearly wet myself when it popped up as a trail name). BUT

My favorite walk is through a spagnum bog in an Alpine region not far from where I live.”

“BUT HE IS THE FUNNIEST ON THIS SITE!!!!!!”

“A Bunyip inhabits Swamps and Billabongs (Ponds).

No really I like Rads comments, seriously, I'm a Rad fan.”

“Hmmmmm...

The best trail names are ones you might give a dog.

I knew a dog with three legs named tripod.

I carry a huge bogen tripod that weighs more than my 3-person tent 'cuz I can't afford a carbon fiber gitzo.

Without my skivvies on I look like I have three... oh, never mind.

But tripod sounds good. I like it. What do you guys think?”

“GO TRIPOD!!!!!!!!”

“Its okey dokey with me, Bob. If for some reason it's taken, add a second word, like "Go Tripod"”

“I like it!”

“Ruffian: My team mates branded me with it as a result of a not-so-gentle encounter during a door kicking mission when I was active duty Special Forces. (Hey..it was real world stuff and the option was a full auto burst in a VERY crowded room). As for now-a-days it still fits my personality (or so I'm told..OFTEN).”

"Woman," he said, "choose; the wigwam or the knife of le Subtil!"”

“Is anyone else afraid of Le Subtil now?”

“Most everyone on TT scares me for one reason or another...

Just tryin' on the new name for size. Where's a mirror?”
