Help needed for Sociobiology Research Project

[Kirby]

As part of my Sociobiology class, I need to create an independent research project. For my research project, I need at least 30 AT through hikers to complete the survey found at the link below. What I can tell you right now is that the project compares through hikers to none through hikers. Once I have gathered the data I need, I can tell you guys all the finer details.

For the purpose of this survey, a through hiker is someone who has hiked the entire trail in something resembling one trip. I don't care where you started or when you started. It's on the honor system. If you consider yourself as having completed a through hike of the trail, this project is for you. I'm sure there are umteen trillion threads on here discussing the finer details of what makes someone a through hiker.

Once you have completed the survey and are on the results page, I need you to email me the link to that page. My email address is: k dot kirby at ymail dot com

The results are anonymous and your name will not be used in any way for my project. In your email with the link, all I need is your gender and age.

After you have completed the survey, I will respond with an email explaining exactly what the project is about.

Feel free to email me with questions. I'll do my best to check this thread semi-periodically for the next few days.

Survey:

I don't know if WB can furnish you with 30 thruhikers.
We're mostly wannabe couch potatos who hike once in a while.

Wow what perfect timing, I was just half way through Kirby's 2008 trail journal today.

Sociobiology? How could thru hikers ever be relevant to a sociobiology class? That's the stuff of Edward O Wilson and evolution, right?
