Stupid Newbie Tricks

“I'm thinking about training a newbie to pack in beer, and then not give them any to drink. That would be a great trick, if you have any, please share.”

“The only improvement on that Buddha, will be to train them to hike out for more when the supply runs out.”

“Niiiiiiiice Chili.”

If I have any what? Beer?! Of course I'll share with the bear!”

“I don't drink so haha....:)”

“Where have ya been M-Nutz, good to see ya, and ya know I'd share with ya, we'll just have to get another newbie to pack your beer in.”

“LOL.....:)”

“Having a newbie back in my beer for me. That is a great idea. I never thought about that one. And if he or she would go get more when you run out then you know that you have them trained right. Every one needs there own personal beer b!tch.”

“LOL......:)”

“ummmm, I hate to break the news to you guys, iluzbackpacking and kodiakman, but you are newbies! Now pack my beer b!tches, but in your cases, I share.”

“thanks dude. Can I leave all of my gear at home and sleep outside with no sleeping bag and no gear so that I can pack a lot of beer?”

“D@mn Buddha, you are good,,,,kodiakman already has the idea. LOL.”

“I don't drink so there I can't carry any beer....:)

I guess I am still new....:)”

“Hey, ya got a cool car? Give me the keys, I'll get your beer ;)

Gas tank is full, right?”

“Big Coop the Newbie:

"Hey guys - good to finally meet you. I'm Mark, but you know me as Big Coop. Am I on time?"

"Hey, uh, yeah, whatever - welcome, I'm Buddha. You know me as Buddha Bear. Listen - the rest of the group already hit the trail and they each took a case o'beer with them. Mine's in the truck so I guess this last one is yours. If you hit the trail and hike quickly you should reach them in about 30 minutes. I'll catch up in a bit..."”

“BB - I've had some crazy times lately and so haven't posted much. Switched jobs (again) and have had to devote lots of time to the new one.

Hopefully I'll be around more, soon. My fav time of year is upon us, can't wait for the snow!”

“One tip for your "trainees" - tell them it's Light beer and maybe they'll pack more.”

“When I can start drinking again I will be bringing the scotch on the trail...............:(

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm scotch....:)

Man I miss drinking Scotch...:(

Crazy Mike”

“Try the old -It is a tradittion angle--works every time.

I've got a old raccon tail I stick in sleeping bag now and then--works great too.”

“Hey Buddha Beer,
I guess you are a self-professed veteran? When did you lose your newbie status? Now get me a m-f-in' beer while you ponder that. Move!!!”

“EVERYONE here
needs to bring ME beer!”

“Hey Beer Gnome, fetch me one while you're up would ya?”

“i get up for only mel.”

“sounds like a personal problem”

“Does mel know? She might actually come East for that.”

“"sounds like a personal problem"

this, coming from someone named "limpy"... hmm....”

“OK - the question is - what is the most beer you have ever packed into a campsite? My answer - a full 24 can case but I only packed it for a mile.”

“actually, after last weekend, i have forsaken beer.”

“LMAO!”

“well, after last weekend... then, after monday's pitcher... then, after tuesday's... umm... few pitchers... i, uh... what was i saying?

where's my beer?”

“In your best estimation, Rad.. how many got consumed?.. btwn the three of them?.. not counting the rum, and the brandy, and whatever else they devoured?”

“OMG, your weekend hike sounds remarkably like our family New Year's party. LOL!”

“I am thinking.. and I may be WAY off, that they hit triple digits.”

“nope. unless you consider the amount of beers that would equal the alcohol in the canadian mist.”

“We took a new guy on last year's winter trek. He was so beat after 8 uphill Smokies miles that he conked out after dinner and a couple of hits from his flask. He made the fatal mistake of not taking his liquor to bed so we drank it all. Didn't want the poor guy to have to carry it all day the second day, we were looking out for his well being.”

“Woo Hoo- left his woobie juice out-

We had a guy take 4 with him once-drank em quick- we had whisky & cuervo- offered to share but he wouldn't come off the porch. He was miserable- we were very,very
happy.”

“I WANT ONE.....”

“That is too rude. You should be ashamed, not boastful.”

“srry limpy i didnt mean to be rude.”

“Hey-way back before fleece when I was just a newbie, my buddies talked me into going backpacking-
went to the store with me -helped me pick out gear- (boy scout pack-
40 degree bag with no pad-sterno to cook on and a brand new pair of Rocky hiking boots that weighed about 25 lbs.-
Anyway-
they take me me on an "EASY" 8 miler-started walking at midnite got to camp about 5 am-
anyway- they gaot fire started I pulled off those lead weights and sat by the fire--had a few pulls on a bottle and promptly fell asleep--
anyway- about an hour later I awake to riotous laughter--they had been taking bets on how fast my
two pairs of wool socks would burn off my feet--and my best buddy won.
By the way they drank about half of my hooch too.”

“lol thats a riot!!!”

“who packs in the ice?
**forward to OPIE's first TT hike**
"Man...why do i have to drag the cooler to camp!??"”

“...because it's lighter than the icemaker and that extension cord gets to be a pain.”
