You know you're a real backpacker when.. .

“Rememind me never to sleep in Jim's yard......again ;)”

“when you think a blueberry bagel and pepperoni is a a perfectly normal thing to have for lunch”

“isn't it?”

“i was thinking that looked good, crash”

“When your son moves out and you convert his bedroom into your BACKPACKING EQUIPMENT ROOM instead of a guest room!!!!”

“Sounded like Breakfast to me....


Congrats on the reconstituted abode!

And congrats on the new Oversized Gear Closet, *G*”

Sorry crash, but that sounds nasty.


















...without peanut butter.”

“Everywhere you go...supermarkets,Lowes,home depot...toystores, you look for a possable backpacking application in everything you see.”

“holy cow, i'm seeing me now.”

“Thank God, backslacker I am not the only one who does that.”

“Yup! We spent last night on the floor of our newly done place. It's been 9 months since the fire...so strange to be back there! We haven't replaced anything so we'll be "camping" for awhile, I'm sure. LOL

Though hardwood floors are not quite as comfy as the ground. ;)”

“The toilet paper in your bathroom is in a ziploc bag!”

“when you wear mountaineering boots to work so they'll break in for the approach”

“BS - I do the same thing!”

You like my ring when you call? ;)

ECKY ECKY ECKY!”

“Backslacker....I am with you on that. Not only do you try to find an application but have you ever looked at something as a "HMM could I make it lighter.?"”

“when you spend more time in the woods than on TT”

“When the upcoming season requires you to hike on a treadmill with a full pack on while a friend on one side of you whips you in the face with a pine bough, and on the other side, a freind sparys silly string into your face simulating busting through spiderwebs in the morning.”

“LMAO!
*runs out to buy silly string*”

“You say things like this:

"Ordered the backsplash tile last night. I think I could've gotten two nice tents for the same price." - sassafras

:-)”

“YOu call your doctor 3 weeks after extensive surgery and say, "Can you cut me loose I have a backpacking trip this weekend."”

“You have new siding & insulation put on your house and all you can think about is whether or not there will be enough tyvec left over for your tent footprint.

“My son now has four bikes! I asked him why in the world he needs four bikes. So he asked me why in the world I need four tents! Damn kids...”

“lumberzac - I just did the siding/insulation thing and you better believe I saved the last 50 feet of Tyvek!”

“AH Creek....don't blame yourself, I am certain you tried your best...its sad but kids really don't see what is necessary. Has anyone ever done a head over handlebars roll in a tent...(Don't Go there).....?”

“LOL...yeah, I did try my best. Buy 'em books, send 'em to school, and they come home smart a$$e$.

I am getting a hankering for some new gear. It's been awhile.”

“I thought that saying went "Buy 'em books and send 'em to school and all he wants to do is eat the teacher" CD.

XL, you wouldn't believe what you can do in a tent if you try hard enough... azz over tea kettle can have a new meaning...”

“My son now has four bikes! I asked him why in the world he needs four bikes. So he asked me why in the world I need four tents! Damn kids...”


LOL: my kids can`t say that I`m the one with 4 bikes,just sold 2, had six and realized the other day I had 6 tents........ (Insert smiley emotioncon here)”

“LOL...my kids asked me about my gear my reply,"My Money." (LOL)...and yes mean I am aware of some of the potential gymnastics that can take place in a tent....(LOL)”

So is that a hammock I see in your future? Let me consult the Magic Water Filter. "Magic Water Filter is Creek Dancer going to buy a camping hammock?" MWF says "Its a Possibility."”

“You walk into the grocery store and immediately start looking for new foods that you can fix on the trail.

You get pissedoff because your gear fund is conflicting with you drinking fund.”

“Grain alcohol to save weight!

      [BLECH]”

“Now that I would have no problem with. It's likev 180 proof so you only need about 3 oz to an entire nalgene of what ever. How cool is that? I like efficiency in my drinking.”

“That stuff would make unadulterated monkeypiss taste like nectar!  LOL”

“You take an extended BP'ing trip with a person who acts just like your X and you still have a great time.”

“You refer to Sierra clubbers as floppy hat wearin' posers and taunt them if they get too close to your encampment.”

“You refer to people who shop at LL Bean as the "Muffy and Tish-Tish" crowd.”

“GM, only a real jerk would taunt the fine folks of the sierra club”

“ass kissers! All of you!”

“lol”

“Lol, Gem!”

HOI - could you please consult the Magic Water Filter to find out if I am going to be offered a new job soon???”

“when...

you consult the MWF about your current career path!”

“Depends on the ass ---”

“you refer to your driveway as the trail head”

“Only a gun totin Deer throat slashin bled for 4 days campfire burnin Jerk would taunt the Sierra Club.”

“you spend 11 hours at work trying to make the clock move faster by sheer will power, because the trail is calling, even though you will only get to be on it for 16 hours.”

“lol...these are so funny...Im sorta embarrsed but I'm totally guilty of this: "have backpacking food in your closet (not in the kitchen) and could prolly live of it for a month." (and ehem.... a few others i won't bother mentioning)”

“You go on a 70 mile trek with two inches of stitches on your chest and have them taken out at camp. Doh!
