has anyone else noticed the increase in yuppies on this site lately?

i'm getting sick of them.

are there any decent sites left where hardcore hikers can still go?

i've been noticing a significant decrease in quality too, and i think it corresponds to around the time Sacco started posting. strange!

There are plenty of yuppies who are hardcore hikers. Who do you think can afford all that high priced gear.

You're right, sacco. I turned it on today and found myself looking at a Horse! "Hardcore hikers" would never post anything like that!

just for the record, everyone does know that Yuppie stands for young urban professional right?

and of course there is DINK - dual income, no kids.

yuppies drive their lexus SUVs

As long as there are trips to go on, and people who actually go on them, who cares about anything else?

Hey SS, let's get one thing straight: not all Yankees are yuppies. Some of them are baseball players...

From the HAE website:

Q8. What is the most important equipment for winter hiking?

Less BS and more hiking! LOL!

I wouldn’t say that TT has gotten worse but I do feel it is a matter of diminishing return of late.

everyone needs to go out and backpack this weekend and then next week we'll talk about. Not enough backpacking trips going on. Did you notice there were no TT trips last weekend?

I didn't realize being a hardcore backpacker was related to social status or income level?? I also didn't realize that it was a requirement on this board?? What I consider hard core may differ from what other's consider hard core.

Agreeing with the comment of the site going downhill a bit. I think it has more to do with individuals posting everytime they blow their nose.

I must be an mauppie (middle aged urban professional) :-P

Diane, don’t you know backpacking is extreme dude? I mean, you have to be a very unique and extreme type of person to do this crazy shlt! Not just anyone can put a few things in a pack and go walking in the woods. Ya gotta be CRAZY EXTREME! WOO!!

I think sacco needs to work harder on his trolling. He only got 42 responces in 18 hours. Not very good stats at all.

too much off topic crap. This is a backpacking site. Let's talk abut backpacking and all things related.

Talk about backpacking and all things related... on Trail Talk?

Good idea ENS.

Know what I hate? I have these polyester compression shorts I wear as underwear and every time I pee I have to like really shake the wedding tackle or I get this post-pee dribble that goes clear down my leg. No pun intended but it really pisses me off. I mean, who wants to have to shake it so much your buddy thinks your beatin' your meat in the bushes? the two shake rule only leads to a big wet spot on my pants. Maybe I should make some homemade peeny pads?

I have a better idea about the off topic stuff...let's whine and moan about it and make a big deal, say, every 3 months and see how that works, K?
