What are your bad habits

[10-K]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned not bringing maps..

[flemdawg1]

Snore like a wounded moose.
Pee near the trail.
Pack explosions in shelters.

[Graywolf]

I guess all the above for me.. Especially heading out with ot telling anyone. Hey, if their not here when I go, thats there problem. When its time to go, Its time to go!!

[jrwiesz]

It's time to go!

[mweinstone]

not telling my parents where i was for weeks at a time hiking never worked for me. i was running away , and whenever i called from the doyal or dwg to ask for busfare home and to appologize, mom never got mad, never was at a loss for where i was, allways figured i was hiking my trail, and so i was defeated time and time again trying to hurt my family by being a runnaway like bro and sis were. when they ran away, folks chased them and hunted them and worried. when i tryed, they were fine with guessing i was hiking, even if they werent sure how long id been gone. so they never thaught of me as a runnaway. something i longed for.lol.

They never came back to tell about it.

I pee in privies.

Sometimes when I run into a hiker coming toward me and they ask about the terrain or location that I have just passed, I can't resist the urge to be a little less than truthful.

You're not a very nice person.

[DVNDSN]

I don't hike often enough.

I stay off WB too long.

I don't camp the recommended footage from water sources, but I try to obey staying off the trail.

I don't pee on peoples tents at night or poop in fire rings as some have previously stated...

That's about it. I am better at pointing out others mistakes than my own. If my wife was on here, she would have a long list!

[sheepdog]

I run with scissors.

[Pedaling Fool]

I remembered another one. I get lolipops when in town...I stick the paper handles into the ground. If you ever saw about 1/4-inch of white stick poking out of the ground that means I passed that spot.

Is it a bad habit to ask strangers how long their cheese lasts?

Dumb.

Use them for ultralight tent stakes instead..

[CowHead]

1. I smoke
2. I drink
3. I chew
4. and I hang out with women who does those things two

[Patrickjd9]

If I'm not leading the trip, I don't study the route as much as I should--and occasionally don't carry a map.

[sbhikes]

I sometimes don't carry enough water. Then I end up thirsty. Oh well.

I never hang my food. I always sleep with it. I hiked part of the PCT in the Sierras without a bear canister.

I don't bring a rain jacket and then I get miserable and wet in the rain.

I don't use a headlamp and instead fumble around in the dark.

I'm not very good at reading maps. I usually don't have a compass. I sometimes take a wrong turn and end up lost. Once I was so incredibly lost I didn't even have a clue where I was. Another time I went the wrong way but after a few hours I figured it out and at least I knew where I would end up. Worked out both times just fine.

Sometimes I just push over a rock to take a dump and then push the rock back on top after.

[Dogwood]

Sometimes I'll put on the most dejected, sorrowful, pained expression, and limp a bit, as I'm attempting to hitch a ride into town/back to the TH. Is that bad?

You're the SOB that does that shart! LOL! I've taken in a couple of your works of art. At first, I wondered what the heck are those! Took me a while to figure it out.
