farting burping and snot rockets while hiking

[Hikingjim]

Snot rockets are far more interesting while biking at 30 mph, but I still enjoy them hiking.
Belching and farts keep the bears away. I have perfected the art so that all wildlife within a 10 mile radius take notice.

One word of caution:

Never open the gas lines near an open flame. You might just leave a crater.

The funny thing is I might not see another person on the trail all day, but the second I do something nasty it seems there was some stealthy hiker coming right up behind me. Now I always look both ways before I let them fly.

And it's usually someone of the opposite sex.

A guy I used to work with was waiting to cross the road. He let a very audible olfactory emission fly from his rear and then noticed a hot blonde standing about 3ft diagonally behind him.

I believe kids today call it "crop dusting"

[rocketsocks]

Though beware of any hiker over 40, one of those farts could turn out to be "crap dusting"

[Ktaadn]

Not only that, but I pee and poop out there too.

ROTFL!!! I'm a lady with a 12 year old boy sense of humor and this made me laugh out loud in my cubicle. Thank you all and Happy Monday!

BTW - This is the main reason I will never sleep in a shelter if not forced. My tent acts like my "room" and offers just enough of a false sense of privacy to make me able to look a fellow hiker in the face the next day.

You said to stop over....I'm here....See you on the other side...

Elevation farts are the real deal. Between my brothers and I we could have killed a donkey had there been one near us in the WRR

If you hike in a group you can play fart baseball

you have to be careful that you reach base safely, if you slide you might get skid marks on your shorts

[DanTaylor]

I dont know, there comes a point in life when you cant trust a fart. Things might get a little squishy

[Abatis1948]

Nothing worse than a fart with lumps.

Technical term is "Shart". My kids use it and "Crop-dusting" regularly. The champion in our house is actually our dog. Cute little girl can run us all out of the room.

Ah! That would be Colin Fletcher! Of course! I have "The Complete Walker" in my library.

I thought you said "colon felcher," which would be very different. Googling the noun in that phrase ain't for the squeamish...

I don't really have an issue with gas or burps but OMG SNOT ROCKETS!!!! My little girl (9 YO min pin) gets gas and it is so bad. She's only 10 pounds but it is terrible. She can run me off the couch, I can't imagine how bad it will be when we share a sleeping bag for 5 months!!!

FYI "Crop Dusting" is when you are walking past someone and start letting it loose right before you pass them and continue as you walk by... like a crop duster does his... crops. You basically dust the victim It's an art really.

Well said. And the best at this, so says my girlfriend, are flight attendants, since their victims are essentially trapped.

PS: My girlfriend is a flight attendant; I advise not flying Southwest, or at least avoiding the aisle row.
