I need to catch up on a lot of things. But I'll check all the submissions to this string and post an updated list within a couple of weeks. BTW, even in your sleeping bag, a night spent in an airport terminal building does not count. Sorry. last edited: 6/17/05 12:27:05 PM” 12:24:25 PM 6/17/05 “excuse me....duhh...NO night at ANY airport terminal. Maybe you need to read again?? you just have to bug me dont' you? I didn't say a word about your nights. A night in my sleeping bag DOES count! last edited: 6/17/05 12:32:20 PM” 12:30:59 PM 6/17/05 No funning with Gemini “Aw, you're no fun. LOL.

Yeah...and 10 more to come in a couple of weeks.” 7:34:53 PM 6/18/05 “Gemini - OK, your solidly stated numbers will be in the next listing. Likely I'll have corrections from other backpackers to be entered, too. (I had to look at about 150 posts to make this update. Anyone want a job?)” 7:42:48 PM 6/18/05 “Sarge 0 (blame the knee surgery) last edited: 6/18/05 9:35:53 PM” 9:34:09 PM 6/18/05 10!!! “Dub has lots of bag nights now thanks to Yellowstone. Put me down for 10!! It was weird being homeless for that long and living from my backpack.” 10:42:37 PM 6/18/05 “only 6...” 4:36:41 PM 6/19/05 “I'm at 13.” 5:14:45 PM 6/19/05 “8..all in the month of June... i'm off to a late start.” 6:48:26 PM 6/19/05 my count for me “1 night. Before you burst into laughter... So far in 2005 I have accomplished more in 6 months than in the past 2 years. The year is only half done, so I am looking forward to more summer and fall nights in the woods. The asphalt is calling to my bicycle in the meanwhile, will report back if this thread is still alive then.” 7:00:37 PM 6/19/05 I"m looking for a... “woman of like minded interest to share bag nights with...only serious outdoor persons who are currently single, with available vacation time and have their own personal finances in order need apply.... oh yeah...interest in trail sex is a must.” 6:39:36 PM 6/21/05 “LOL Good post!” 6:41:17 PM 6/21/05 “O jeez, stikmon is after some more double bag nights to boaster his year's count. LOL. BTW, stikmon, double bag nights are not acceptable in counting your bag nights. When I post the tally, I only report the bags nights completed as posted by the individuals. last edited: 6/21/05 6:59:00 PM” 6:55:03 PM 6/21/05 “ Hey babe, hows 'bout a date. We'll go for a walk in the woods and sleep in there. Ahhh, Your bag or my bag?” 7:03:22 PM 6/21/05 Why Choose? “Zip 'em together...” 7:29:56 PM 6/21/05 “ AJ 2” 7:27:57 AM 7/01/05 “I will get three in about 2 weeks!” 9:23:18 AM 7/01/05 “hopefully getting three more this weekend” 9:59:44 AM 7/01/05 “I got one, camping with my son at the Cub Scout Rendezvous in April. I guess I didn't post it here though.” 10:03:52 AM 7/01/05 “I have 5 now NS, with 3 more comming next weekend.” 10:13:44 AM 7/01/05 “I'm at 10 now I think. I haven't really been keeping track.” 10:16:41 AM 7/01/05 “bitpusher - I probably missed it. It should make it in the next update.” 10:21:39 AM 7/01/05 “SC has 50??? I thought she was always working!?” 10:24:01 AM 7/01/05 “I looked, I didn't post it here, so it's not your fault.” 10:24:10 AM 7/01/05 “Sarge - I think she was joking, but I just report the numbers given as completed bag nights. Re: Spirit Coyote last edited: 7/01/05 10:32:45 AM” 10:27:13 AM 7/01/05 “that is total fraud on SC's part.” 10:30:44 AM 7/01/05 “SC prolly confused bag nights, with bag lunches for work...;-)” 10:34:08 AM 7/01/05 “I am up to 14 now with one more coming this week-end. Hmmmm..maybe that would explain why my husband is mad at me for always being gone. Hey...I haven't done so yet but does car camping count?” 2:51:52 PM 7/01/05 “:D = joke :) I have made 11 bag nights this year...more soon to come!” 3:09:25 PM 7/01/05 “sandyann - Inside a vehicle should not count. In the open, under a tarp, in a tent, etc. and in a sleeping bag, while in a campground, at a trailhead, etc., counts. If the sleeping bag would normally be used, if the temperature were lower, it's OK. Trail shelters count, but not cabins. However, use your own judgement. Presented are my personal guidelines. I am not making the rules. I just, occasionally, set up a list of what people have reported as completed bag-nights. After the end of the year I will provide a list in order of bag nights, as well. But I'm avoiding it during the year so as not to encourage a competition. This string is merely a place to record and keep track of your individual bag nights, albeit in public. Why I'm doing it is a mystery to me. Perhaps it was to write a simple "batch" program. I'm using HTML's tags "pre" ... "/pre" around the list in order to keep the columns' appearance. But with this I have not found a way to eliminate the double spacing that results. If anyone knows of a way, please let me know. Thanks. last edited: 7/01/05 3:39:05 PM” 3:35:29 PM 7/01/05 “96” 4:34:06 PM 7/17/05 “you must live in a tent-” 6:21:33 PM 7/17/05 “fingerlakeshiker - I usually do 3-4 months in GSMNP plus a few other things each year. In 2003 I had 155 and in 2004, 74.” 8:57:31 PM 7/17/05 “i dunno not as many as last year, i know that when youre doing an ultra-long distance, its hard to know what counts if you sleep at a hostel in your own sleeping bag because they just provide bunks not beds does that count? what about in your tent at somebodys house or hostel? personally, i dont count anything in civilization what about the dungeon at lake of the clouds? or white house landing in the 100 mile wilderness? so many permutations of sleeping arrangements” 9:07:51 PM 7/17/05 I'm getting old. “I'm down to about twenty to twenty-five nights a year.” 9:26:01 PM 7/17/05 “Crash Bang - Some good questions! I am merely trying to put the reported numbers of completed bag nights into an alphabetical list every month or so. You can make your own decisions about what you want to count. I think you're on the right track. It seems that most hostels are buildings, like homes, so I would not count them for myself. Likewise, I sleep in a sleeping bag at home, but I do not count those nights. Most shelters I count, but I feel that they should have an outdoor exposure other than doors or windows. Anything out-of-doors, like a tent in the neighbor's yard, or even, your yard sounds OK to me. I have used a sleeping bag inside homes of friends, but I don't count those nights as there was no direct exposure to the outside. Since you are the one present at all these situations, you are the one most qualified to decide whether or not they qualify as bag nights. However, I do not believe in double bag nights.

One thing for sure-- I'm in greater shape this year than last! Amazingly, I was able to hoist and walk with a fully loaded (35 lbs) back pack even after each day's 20 mile "hike" in the concrete jungle! :-)” 2:44:36 PM 7/18/05 “pinkbubelz - And you feel good about it, right?” 2:47:36 PM 7/18/05 “ABSOLUTELY!!!! I'm thinking of doing it again for next year!!! :-) Those 2 nights probably gave me the best sleep I've had in months!” 2:49:51 PM 7/18/05 “What is bag? zero, zip, nada this year.” 9:17:27 PM 7/18/05 “Yellow River TT hike: 2 Yellow River night out: 1 Black River Forest: 2 Kettle Moraine South: 1 Kettle Moraine North: 2 Upper I-O-WAnna float: 2 Badlands: 1 Black Hills: 5 Friend USFS Campground, Wyoming: 1 Ummm, looks like 17. I suppose those two nights in the back of the Jeep enroute to-and-from don't count?? lol” 10:22:21 PM 7/18/05
