the difference btween homeless ppl and b ackpackers

“GORTEX”

“I don't think homeless people use Goretex anymore - too heavy.


















Welcome to the forum Bhippi!”

“I am not homeless and I do not own any products with Gortex in them. Some of you need to go to a GA (Goretex Anonymous) meeting.”

“What!?! No Gortex!...that's blasphemy. lol, LyndyS”

“I thought the difference was that backpackers have more money to spend on gear (and not necessarily Gortex!).”

“Gortex is SO passe.”

“Oh, this is backpacking hippie from the OTHER board.. kewl.. what brings you here??

BTW??.. They're right. goretex has long been surpassed by newer techno-fabrics.”

“The Emperor's new clothes?”

“Let's make a Gore-Tex list - meebe start with underwear, heheheheheh.”

“after a few day on the trail they all smell the same to me”

“Once Birch was taken for a homeless person while on a hike. He'd done 22 miles, got to the campground, found a tree and layed down under it for a nap. When he woke some people where making a huge dinner and invited him over for some. He had corned beef boiled dinner and two beers. Through the meal he talked about his hike and they told him they thought he was homeless!!! LMAO. I guess that's what comes of wearing old army clothing and sleeping under trees. Free beer and dinner!”

“Nice scam, birch. I will have to pull that one some time.

;-)”

“I'll have to take my empty paper coffee cup and hang out at the trail head next time.

Sass- That dang birch could make friends anywhere!

I'll never forget the time we went to the bank and that woman wouldn't move or she parked right in front (or something) and birch was up there talking to her. I said to Sass, "Man, he can makes friends and talk to people everywhere he goes, huh?". He came back and it turned out he was actually crabbing at hger about her driving. LOL!”

“I think we could all learn something from Birch here people ¦ ) !”

“Yeah, crab at people with a big smile so everyone else thinks that you are the friendliest happiest person?”

“Most backpackers smell like homeless without the peed pants.”

“They’re not homeless, they’re urban outdoorsman.”

“Homeless people smell better....and they don't have that wide-eyed crazy look.”

“gortex is my fav, plus i get it issued to me free at work, but its just to nice of stuff to be working on planes with it on, getting all greasy and crap,
hey towndawg someone from the other board turned me on to this site, and i can say i like it much better, and no im not sucking up.”
