RE: Fear on the trail.
My biggest fears are the real ones

running out of water, the weather, getting cliffed out on a ledge..

I hike with lunatics, nothings scarier than that

drink !

Tthen drink n drink n drink n drink n drink n drink some more...

...and after you do that, drink n drink n drink n drink n drink!

By about 9:30 pm you'll be so out of it, and your brain so clouded that you'll not have the mental capacity to "fear" anything. (well maybe the hangover in the morning)

bacpac

please forgive me if I make you feel ill. God knows you are such a good person and have never said anything off color! We all know that you would never intentionally attempt to anger any users on the site. Forgive me kind sir, for I am not as stately as you.

RE: Fear on the trail.
Once I was filled with fears I couldn`t hide
but, I got on top of them and took a ride
it was rough at first, but it changed a bit
it took some time, but I got in control of it
no longer am I filled with panic and freight
seems I`m the baddest thing that walks the night
there are things that might get me, but I haven`t found it yet
I had some real fears, but each of them with reason, I have met

RE: Fear on the trail.
The only thing you have to fear is fear itself!

But what is fear? It's your mind. So pull your mind out of your head and you will no longer fear, or exist!

RE: Fear on the trail.
I`ve lost at love, I eased the pain with beer
and along the way, I`ve lost any reason to fear
no longer do I fear the days and nights and what might yet be
I survived 29 years being married and it sucked the life outta me
and each new day is just another day in hell
all of the fears I once had now I know to well
what once was hidden in the dark, I see very clear
live your life happy, it does you no good to fear

Ice, a Wrist Rocket will do, and it's quieter -- other than the shriek of the chipmunk (you thought was a bear) when the ball bearing nails it.

RE: Fear on the trail.
Ice, Violin ain't kidding around. Those are actual Polaroids taken outside a typical tent at a typical backcountry campsite during the hours the typical backpacker is cowering in the typical sleeping bag praying for a typical rosy dawn.

All your worst fears and suspicions are true. Where do you think Pink Floyd got all those weird feelings to put in their music? They camped out as kids, of course. And they were in England, where there aren't half the creepy critters to fear as here in the New World!

RE: Fear on the trail.
No, not Pink Floyd, Tea! Where'd you hear such scurrilous rumors? I'm sure it was just excess endocrine system output from all the scary experiences in the British woods (or furry things in a cave with a Pict). Drugs? What kind of crazy (diamond) talk is that? Mrs. Barrett won't like you talking about her Sid that way, I'll have you know. Especially not MAD drugs, those are really bad, LOL.

RE: Fear on the trail.
i just came back from camping alone in the Kaibab Forest at GC. My biggest fears were bears and getting struck by lightning. The wweather was horrible (hail and rain) The fear of getting struck by lightning was the most paralyzing fear I've known in a while.
