I'd lurk more often, but I've got a big mouth and have a difficult time keeping it shut.Me, too.
Some conversations just beg a response, don't they?

I like the fact that a thread like this gets started every now and again. There are always a few that come out as a result. After that they start posting. I think it's that "first post" that is scary; not unlike sitting in a hammock and taking your feet off the ground for the first time.
Trust nobody!

I still sit myself very gingerly in the hammock every time I rehang it. More than once I've had something go wrong and felt that sucker slide. There is always the possibility that someone will rip you a new navel if you post. Me... I got so many new navels there is hardly any room for more, but the vast majority of them came from other sites.
I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

Nope, no navel rippers here....I hope. Not when they find out we have a mod named "angrysparrow". Who wants to mess with a pissed off bird; I just washed my truck.
Trust nobody!

Yep, ran out of hiking funds and my dad was in the hospital with a spinal injury (he's too **** old for mountain biking!). Too much on the mind between those two things to continue. Gives me an excuse to start over again next year or the one after. You gonna buy me breakfast at the lodge again?thought you were hiking?? did you bail

Yeah, it sucked for an old fat guy! Mostly I slowed down in order to follow a fellow named Mule (named that night). He had an extra pair of hiking boots hanging off his pack; total weight was 69.5 lbs. I had to see how it turned out.The approach trail is a piece of cake you weenie..heard it took you 2 days..LMAO
I'm sure there will be a whole new crop of 'lurkers' this year. Lots of very curious hikers out there and of course I steered them to HF.

lurker here too , busy trying to change my ways although. i have made a crappy asym setup out of a blanket and a convention wally world tarp and 550 cord. also a ghetto rigged tulle bugnet put together with a stapler!
was amazed of how comfy this it was spending time hanging in it!!!
luckily where it was setup was fairly remote so i didnt have to pack it up every time. my next move is to get something lighter/packable and more cold weather ready.
dignified poverty-
