question of the week

“a friend and i where having a talk, he was going on about the unwritten code among backpackers, i figure, this would get people going, anyone have an example (and yes i got board) just wanted to see the reaction,,,,,,,”

“There are lots of unwritten codes among backpackers, which one specifically were you referring too??”

“well it seems to me everytime ive been on a trail and some ones low on water of is having other difficulties most other backpackers stop and willingly try to help...is that what ya mean?”

“i understand it, and have done just wanted to see who else has, and what, just for fun.. want to see how long this will run,,,,,”

“From what I've seen, you should always offer the ranger a beer.”

“I was thinking of the " code of the campfire" what's said on the trail, stays on the trail -or- Ya don't open your yap about what's talked about around the fire. Use that one a lot.”

“What about the one that says you can belch or flatulate to your heart's content on the trail?

Oh, heck, some of you do that now in everyday life!! LMBO”

“lmao”

“After my last trip with Artex, Jmitch and Wolfman's Brother, I think the unwritten code concerning flatulation should be rewritten, possibly with a stiff fine and perhaps some jail time. That trip had nothing to do with the contents of anyone's heart, I can tell you that. I had to tie a skunk around my neck to tone the smell down a little.”

“What code? No one told me about a code? None of the Montanapaloozers mentioned anything.”

“Oh no, newgirl!

Maybe that's why they voted you off the trail!

; )”

“Noogie - Yes we did! We definitely mentioned the one about what happens on the trip stays on the trip - no matter what - when we were hanging on the porch the first night at Aero's cabin.”

“I'm sure Prowler appreciated all the attention the Montanapaloozers took to the code. LMAO!”

“Obviously Aero wasn't paying attention...”

“code what code, no one told me about a code, is there a test, no one told me about a test, does the code count as part of my grade, will there be a written part as well ,(oohhh GOD), not a code , i didn't study,,,,,,,,, sorry newgirl just wanted to take it a bit futher,,,,,, p.s. i just backed into my wifes new 2002 exterra, think she will be mad when she wakes up, hhhhhmmmmmm(ya think)”

“Yep. You're screwed now. Or not, LOL


Nice try... trying to trick me into writing what the Unwritten Code is.”

“Hmmm, maybe if we could crack the code we would find out what's really happenin on the trail.”

“No whining! A normal comment about the condition of your blister or bad knee or whatever is fine but under no circumstances should it be repeated or should a high pitched tone enter into your voice. If the blister is less than the size of a nickle you aren't even allowed to mention it unless it's on your eyeball or something. Don't ever complain about how heavy your pack is especially if your friends told you to leave some of that crap behind. If someone goes off to pee, look the other direction, same for changing. If you're going for water offer to get for others. Try to bring a treat for everyone.”

“The unwritten code of the trail:

1. Carry your own weight
2. Help others in need
3. Make the experience enjoyable for others
4. Respect your surroundings”

“5. the tallest person goes first to knock down all the spiderwebs

6.unless he has a bad gas problem

7.never sing john-jacob-jingle-heimer-schmidt”

“Well, now y'all went and did it! No more stinkin' unwritten code. Ban all y'all!”

“8. wait till father G goes to sleep to break out the good scotch.”

“I am ever vigilant and I never sleep, mwooooaaaaaaahahahahahahahaha!”

“dam, thought i heard him snorin....”

“So, uh, strat, ol' buddy...whatcha got there, a little Glenlivet perhaps?”

“Nah, that was Mother Goose ya heard. That gal can really let 'em rip!”

“Anyone singing Bee Gees songs gets a rock in their butt.”

“I dunno, Tilt. Seems to me, a rock up yer butt could make anyone sing like the BeeGees, LOL.”

“Gawd, not the Causality Debate again! Which came first? The Bee Gees or a rock in the butt?

(it's still no excuse, LOL)”

“Oh man, yer killin' me!”

“how big is the rock?”

“Like, dewd, ya wanna try one on for size, LOL?”

“I gave my map to some day hikers, as I was returning to the trailhead after 2 days of backpacking.

I gave some water to a lost dog once.”

“godl star for stanlee!

AHH AHH AHH AHH STAYIN ALIVE, STAYIN ALIVE.........”

“The unwritten code of the trail:


5. This really is a backpacking site, not the singles line.”

“Hey Newgirl!
"If thou doest not fall
For his request for your heart
Informeth me with haste.
These entreaties for love
Maketh me to desire the Ultra
In the way only Marvin has
Fulfilled me until now."
Good one Dunadin!”

“My gosh, frimfram, I just read the love poem thread. I see what you mean. A lot of these guys here seem desperate and emotionally unstable.

I hope I don't end up getting stalked like this poor newgirl.

I'll just make sure to never post a picture!”

“lol little bird and frim. these patheticly horny loosers never let up do they?
