    I've been hiking with these guys for a while now. Wouldn't pass judgement, all three of them are strong hikers and are doing very well.

    Ooooh I like that, a math formula. All of you who are actually hiking this year, please keep track. We'll report back here and see if Kanga's theory is correct. I think it may be.

    A thru-hike is like sex. You think you can do a lot, until you get started.

    This will end well I'm sure.

    You people are awfully quick to judge and assume facts about other people you've never met. In fact I was the one to find a shelter for my two traveling companions before I "bit the bullet" by taking the least appealing sleeping option- alone in a tent with a stranger. By no means was flirting or bullying used to acquire a place in a tent. I'm a friendly person, and so was he so all I had to do was explain my situation. I do have a tent for myself, I didn't have it with me then because we had semi- slack packed for a couple of days.

    IF you knew me, you would know that I would never expect anyone to provide something like a tent for me. If you knew me, you would know that when I set out to travel across the U.S. from south to north that I have all the equipment that I will need along the way, not to mention the mental and physical preparedness.

    Well, apparently you did not have a tent when you needed one. Your mental image of yourself does not quite jive with reality.
