For fun " What should you really be stressing about"

[2015 Lady Thru-Hiker]

Who's watching you while taking a dump? That will freak out the ladies further.

Thanks dogwood now I'll be so stressed I won't be able to go. End up in the hospital obstructed and getting 3H enemas!!! Thanks, one more thing to worry about

Whether to just wave to watchers or start a conversation?

[evyck da fleet]

Whether or not you'll get lost and not be able to find the trail again when you go into the woods to do #2 and whether or not you walk far enough into the woods to be near the trail again because you didn't know there was a switchback ahead.

[Odd Man Out]

How about things that (in addition to rattle snakes and bears) don't kill people on the AT, like getting hit in the head by asteroids and Ebola.

[Slo-go'en]

Ebola, definitely Ebola.
Zombies and the undead would also be right up there at the top of the list. The AT passes a lot of cemeteries you know.
Attacked by a rabid rabbit?, err maybe.

I just imagined this scenario, just settled down for the business and a group stops above you to admire the scenery and wildlife. HA

The rule of thumb is, if you haven't seen anyone all day, just step off the trial and drop your pants. Someone will be by shortly. This is especially effective for woman.

Yep! Happened to me on the trail in Maine this summer. Just when I thought the coast was clear, a SOBO came by. We laughed about it and I commented that now he *had* seen everything on the trail!

Quicksand.

Leather balls...no, really, this is what I called that long-time chaffing problem during thru-hiking. Also, broken nails, toe nails to be exact. One misstep and you break a quarter of your big toenail off and it hurts like hell until it's grown back. Then, once it grows back, you jam it again! I was consistently missing parts of my big toenails ;( Leather balls and handicapped toenails...that's what people should really be worried about!

As the years roll by, I worry about this one less and less.

Won't be a problem for me unless the bird likes nesting on a bald peak.

I worry my bald dome from a bird's-eye view might look like a landing strip for a poo drop.
