What would you ask?

“If you were going on a hiking trip, would you have your prospective hiking partner fill out a questionaire prior to meeting at the trail head?
if yes, then what would be on your questionaire?


1. do you snore
2. ever murder anyone?
3. ever get caught?
4. last 3 trips and milage

things like that.


(got to give credit where credit is due. Not my idea)”

“Do you fart and how loud and how smelly?

Grope in your sleep?

Wet the bed(bag)?”

“Do you complain or whine constantly, or for that matter at all?

Do you have treats to share with the group?

Can you still be happy if it rains all day and night?”

“what is your score on the backpacker purity test?”

“Do you piss in the wind?
Do you scratch yourself alot?
Do you have any nervous conditions?
hee hee...”

“Can you loan me some money?”

“Murder is #2? I think I would move that one up.”

“Will you carry my Bourbon and NOT drink it?”

“Number one should be......










......Do you drink?”

“I see Chief likes to ask the really tough questions.”

“The rest of the crap I can put up with.

So, Tom, do you drink?”

“Chief, when its cold or wet or hot or dry or Spring, Fall, Winter or Summer.

Otherwise, I never touch the stuff.”

“Just exactly how old are you anyway?
Will you be bringing any pet odors with you?

LOL...”

“sassafras nailed it...

I can tolerate a lot, but being out there with someone who whines would cause me to go postal”

“I'd now like to see chili's response to the gun thread, thank you!!!!”

“A sharp trowel does have other uses, you know...”

“Dang--tough question. I have tried to ask the right questions before and ended up with people that exagerate wildly what they can do or tell you how it used to be twenty years ago and don't bother to say they have gained 50 pounds since then and not moved off of the couch. I am a lot more picky than I used to be.”

“Wow bitpusher, couple that little comment with your severe paranoia on long trips and you just scored your way off everybodies hiking partner list! Very smooth!”

“Oh, it's not the trips, it's all the PEOPLE!!!!

Small groups aren't any problem.

Everybody who's been on a trip with me has come back. As far as y'all know anyway...”

“Wow! I am really looking forward to Trail Days now ; ) .”

“Have you ever bungee jumped off the George Washington Bridge?”

“Hey, hikers aren't people, they're hikers. Completely different.”

“LOL!”
