Don't convert all to Ultralight!

“Ok, first of all I preach the UL ways to friends & family like there is no tomorrow I am only saying this... If we try and change all the "prepared, elitist, take everything but the kitchen sink mules" who will we have to laugh at.

Example: Last summer I was heading out to hike in Mt. Rainier park. I went to the Ranger station to check in for a 5 day outing. He took one look at my pack and immediately starting giving me the third degree. And without asking or looking at the contents in my pack told me I wasn't prepared.???
I thanked him for his concern (with a little laugh mixed in) and walked my "unprepared a$$" out of there.

Well, I like the lifestyle of bringing only what I need and no more. I enjoy seeing all the miserable people slogging along "enjoying" themselves as I fly by. Are the ten, twenty, & thirty "essentials" really that holy? I say no! Go light or get out the way.”

“How long have you been backpacking?”

“I slog ultralight or not so I may as well take a few extras to enjoy myself with!”

“Why the hell would I care what anyone carries? They're carrying it and I am not. They can carry a five pound, 14" rubber dildo for I care. Wounded Knee's the one who's gotta carry it, not me.”

“So are you saying we should make sure we hike BEHIND WK and sleep with our backs to the wall? LOL”

“Well, I like the lifestyle of bringing only what I need and no more. I enjoy seeing all the miserable people slogging along "enjoying" themselves as I fly by. Are the ten, twenty, & thirty "essentials" really that holy? I say no! Go light or get out the way.


Then why carry anything? You're looking for a knife and sleeping pad and a water filter on two other threads? Why? Go light or get out of the way, dude.


...prepared, elitist, take everything but the kitchen sink mules" who will we have to laugh at...

Either way, nicely trolled.

“Either way, nicely trolled.

Exactly. I haven't seen anyone this asinine since Fridge tried to put himself in charge of handing out backpacking credentials.”

“I'm still trying to picture a 5 lb 14" rubber dildo..

holy circumference batman, what a girth!!!!!!

'64oz”

“Use it to beat off the bears......heh heh”

“uh.. Wilbill.... you may want to edit that before it shows up on the OOCQ thread..

'32oz”

“uh... Willbill..... nevermind...

LOL

'32oz”

“This guy is just one more post from being on the ignore list.”

“What, like you have a lighter one?
(32oz ultralight dildo?)”

“i prefer to take along a vibrator but use it as a dildo. i put my pocket rocket in the battery compartment.”

“�i prefer to take along a vibrator but use it as a dildo. i put my pocket rocket in the battery compartment.�
Nothing like being practical, lol.”

“Now I'm thinking about those 'Russian Nesting Dolls'..

You know the ones that open up to reveal a smaller doll, that in turn opens up to reveal an even smaller one, that in turn...

'32oz”

“It's amusing to see everyone scramble to distance themselves from AlexD's attitude. I've seen it plenty of times here and IRL.”

“If everyone went UL, then who would the UL-ers mooch off of? "Can I see that map?"”

“LOL, if EVERYONE went UL, then UL wouldn't exist...you can't have ULTRA light people with out light people and you can't have light people with out wounded knee”

“You lowlanders need Sarge on you mouse before you can be serious.”

“as I fly by.

ALWAYS GET A HIGHLY ENJOYABLE LAUGH AT THE EXPENSE OF THOSE WHO ENJOY THESE GREAT OUTDDORS BYT JUST FLYING BY... ROFL.. THANKS MAN..”

“Are you a man or are you a moose?”

“�i prefer to take along a vibrator but use it as a dildo. i put my pocket rocket in the battery compartment.�

Isn't that redundant?”

“ALWAYS GET A HIGHLY ENJOYABLE LAUGH AT THE EXPENSE OF THOSE WHO ENJOY THESE GREAT OUTDDORS BYT JUST FLYING BY... ROFL.. THANKS MAN..”

Right On!!! ROFL!!”

“Actually, I've started carrying a DVD player that runs on solar with me. I usually have a nice selection of adult films and pack along an extra tent for use as a rental booth, along the lines of an adult cinema. For a quarter, you get a two minute view time and an extra thick reusable towelette. The most revenue I've generated on a hike is about $12, however, if I set up shop at popular trailheads, the cash really seems to roll in. I've even had several rangers thank me for my service. You haven't seen XXX until you've viewed it at 10,000 feet.”

“and an extra thick reusable towelette

eeeeeeeewwwwwwwww!”

“Real hikers don't use towelettes.”

“leaves!”

“moss”

“sham-WOW!”

“pine cones”

“other hiker's bandannas”

“only in one direction though...”

“south?

'32oz”

“The direction of every TT thread.”

“boobs”

“Kinda dangerous to beat off a bear doncha think?”

“maybe during, but they go right to sleep afterwards”

“I completely agree with this original post. I always laugh at people carrying the 18 inch 5 pound dildo when my ultralight 4oz inflatable, dehydrated dildo works just fine. Leave the luxuries at home people! This is the wilderness!

Nah, I think any criticism of other people's gear choices (provided that those choices are educated) is kinda elitist. I pack pretty light, but that's only so I have room and weight for a bottle of scotch or a beer. My friend's a mule who packs everything but the kitchen sink. It's not my problem or my concern as long as he doesn't ask for help carrying it - and he never does.”

“a mule is someone who shoves drugs up their keister in or to smuggle them”

“I know, that's why I love hiking with my friends... great drugs at the end of the hike, once you can get past the smell”

“so, what weight is the cutoff between UL and mule?”

“For the recoed NIGAL....I have never put myself in charge of what you are accusing me of....But thank you for letting me know I drew a nerve up your BUTT....$#^% &^%”

“He must like that, LOL.”

“Yep likes the nerve up the butt...Nigal...is this backpacker a guy or a chick?”

“Now that's a great 60s sitcom word, keister. � We don't hear it nearly enough. � I bet there are some people here who aren't getting enough keister.

▸ noun: the fleshy part of the human body that you sit on
▸ name: A surname (rare: 1 in 50000 families; popularity rank in the U.S.: #4965)”

“^^^ good #&%!$? lol
�so, what weight is the cutoff between UL and mule?�

Eighteen pounds, but I just pulled that number out of my keister.”

“I thought it might be of Yiddish origin, like

nudnik : a pest, "pain in the neck"; a bore (Yiddish נודניק nudnik, from the above נודיען nudyen; cf. Polish nudne, 'boring') (OED, MW)
or
putz : an idiot, a jerk; a #&%!$ (from Yiddish פּאָץ pots) (AHD)
or
schlemiel : an inept clumsy person; a bungler; a dolt (Yiddish shlemil) (OED, MW)
