“Yes, just not this year. I bagged less than 10 I think. :~(”

“Us quadrapalegics feel BPing is not a competitive sport and thusly don't feel a need to brag.”

“I count and I forget...then I count and I forget again.
I am near 30, not sure how many for sure though. I know I had 25 a couple month back, but I also had a couple or more trips after that.

I'll count for sure next year.”

“Nobody really gives a rat's patoot. We go; we don't go, life is good.”

“The rat cares. After all, it's his patoot.”

“the pple with the most post here have the least nights..lol”

“You might try using the search routine for bag nights.

And just what is this "over here" stuff? Are you trying to say that there might be someplace else?

“there is a bag night 2004 thread i think.

It's not a bragging thing I think. I think it's a self competitive thing. I set myself a goal this year to get 25 and I just made that goal last weekend in WV. I have to try get another one yet this year. I wanted 300 trail miles and got 360 so far.”

“Goal was 20 and I got 20...but I think 7 were car camping hehehehe. Oh well, goal for next year 24. I should get 3-4 at Ocala in Feb to start the season off.”

“We had a bagwoman once, but she turned out to be a Russian troll.”

“Did she live under a bridge? Did you spend any bag nights with her?”

“I think I posted this somewhere already:

31 Bag Nights
419 trail miles
9 States (NJ, NY, PA, OH, WV, NH, MI, NC, MD)
2 State High Points (NY, NC)

Both of the two state high points still owe me views, by the way.

31's not a bad number; way more than I would've ever guessed getting back at the beginning of the year. It's going to be a tough number to beat...

By the way Dub, weren't you the one who told me that car camping doesn't count for bag nights?”

“Inquisitive li't soul, aren't you Newbiefoot?”

“Yeah, I got a lot, but I am too lazy to count them up right now.”

“There is a significant number of people over here who count bag nights, TTer's met and other statistics.

I don't get it, but I never liked baseball either.”

“bbw, you haven't hiked since the battle of Argonne”

“I'd rather brag how my password hasn't changed

*yawn*”

“18”

“potential bag nights were bailed out on in the last minute...I've got 9.”

“I say I got enough.”

“1”

“i can't remember my backpacker.com password or I would check how many i added and how many i forgot... heeheehee

i really am not sure how many, but yeah...i already said that.”

“27”

“You people have way too much free time on your hands. Get jobs, have families, acquire homes with large yards and gardens, own used cars that need fixing. Then come back in here and tell us how many bag nights you got.”

“Don't feel bad Currahee, I only have about 10 or so bag nights this year also. There's always next year!”

“You people have too little free time on your hands. Retire or quit work, get divorced and vow to never do it again, move into a trailer, pay someone to take care of the yard if you have one, pay someone to fix your car. Then come back in here with a BSEG and tell us how many bag nights you got.”

“Hog,
Forget moving into a trailer, just move into your tent, then every night will be a bag night.”

“yeah but then where would I plug in my computer ???”

“A really long extension cord from a neighbor’s house.”

“Make sure it's camoflage. Otherwise you'd risk a "utilities disconnect".”

“I'd rather brag how my password hasn't changed

LMAO
now thats funny


mmm how many bag nights?
between working, studying, volunteering, home with a yard and a garden, family with an in-law. that sure does not leave me much time to count how many bags nights i have.
I get out when I can and then I brag about what adventures I have had.
They may be few nights but they are nights that I treasure!

and to the ones that look down at your nose at people that are not out every weekend, shame on you!”

“You people have way too much free time on your hands. Get jobs, have families, acquire homes with large yards and gardens, own used cars that need fixing. Then come back in here and tell us how many bag nights you got.”

Ok, I'll take that up. I'm more than tired of the "I'm busier than you routine" or the "you can do something because you aren't me routine."

2004
Been through 2 jobs this year. One of them a VP position that handled all software development and contractors on 2 contenients, a 50 hour week was short and the commute took an hour each way.
I got a 2 year old daughter and I volunteer massive time with the Boy Scouts.
Got a house, want a bigger yard. One where you can't see the neighbors, and a barn, yeah a barn.
Got a '48 Ford F1 in the middle of a frame off rebuild. Wanna come on down and help me get the body back on the chassis so I can start cutting out the rusty floor and weld in a new one?

38 nights in 2004 and I think I'm slacking.”

“Im embarrassed...I've only had 8....and 79 trail miles....

this year sucked!”

“no do not be embarrassed.
you were sick a lot.
this is way I hate threads like this
oh I am better then you because I got out more then you.
SC, did you have fun? take pic? talk about it to your friends and family?
thats what counts.”

“......only the dipschitz.

>8^P”

“I must add that Humanpackmule also mentors Psycho Squirrel full time since I stopped planting tomatoes. And Psycho is definitely high maintenance.

HPM, I don't know how you do it: take care of Psycho and have a life besides.”

“hey Mr. Psycho needs a vacation too. is that where he has been?
I miss him and his lawyer very much.”

“Life?
Whats that?

It's kinda funny. I never think about how much I'm out until one of these threads comes up but if you post to one then there is always someone (s) who starts the smug "It's not a competition" thing.

Whatever, ask a question, get an answer.”

“Is there a Mrs. Psycho?”

“Any little nuts?”

“I'm a little nuts.

Yeah, we have loads of squirrels here.
They are pure hell on the bird feeders.
Treebait plays tag with them with the garden hose, they retaliate by peeing on her car.”

“LMAO. We got tones of them here..they dig up my lily bulbs but leave the bird feeders alone.”

“Hey, I'm just being an ass!!

HPM, you are busy!

OK, I'll be a dipschit.......45.....so far.
About 20 were car camping.

Yo, mapleleaf!
I've had a buncha those bag nights with you and that Robins dude.”

“I frequently feel the urge to be an ass.
Somehow I usually manage to keep my mouth shut. I do a lot of deleting posts.

Funny thing is I think I am lazy.”

“awww, this makes me miss Dunadan, the king of bagnights...”

“I cower in awe of Dunadans annual epic backyard bag night.”

“How's your bloodpressure?

lyra, stay out of this, you don't even camp!!

Dan's kid is at M.I.C.A. in Baltimore.
I almost met him late summer 2003 when the kid started here.

Is there a "Who Have You Almost Met" thread??
