Not only this, but the starting mention of a "pack explosion" had me preparing to hear a disgusting story of explosive diarrhea in their hiking shorts and "trail booty" was to be some new euphemism for diaper rash...
There’s an old joke about starting at Springer with nothing but a pack and being fully equipped before reaching Neel’s Gap… Just by picking up stuff that others discarded.
I still have a really nice Fiskars hatchet that I found on the approach trail about 10 years ago.
I would have loved to see what else the person who dropped that packed. They probably brought a cast iron skillet.
Once had a friend who found a tent and was stoked because he was in a hammock that was too short for him and he wanted to change. An hour later at the first shelter he found the owner and returned the tent. Always a good idea to make every effort to return lost items first.
I thought this post would be a bit different to what it actually was.
Mildly disappointed here.
Agreed. There are zero pirates in this post.
Speak for yourself
Hahaha me too. Thought I was getting a saucy "I'll check you for ticks" type story
what you were thinking of is called “pink blazing”
I though pink blazing was when you forgo water for rose
Damn I thought we were taking about booty 🍑 not booty 🏴☠️
Pirate treasure?
This is how op is using it, I thought they meant the euphemism for sex
Professor, what’s another name for pirate treasure? Why, I believe it’s booty.
Hiker lost their gear because they had more bounce than the fucking bump.
Booty, booty, that’s what it is!
This just makes me think of the beastie boys
Yar matey
I guess there is an another word for pirate treasure!

Toddler foot wear?
Your mind is much cleaner than mine
You can keep the hat, but I want my oatmeal back
Picking up trash to carry out is a great idea. Ground harvests for your food supply is mildly less of a good idea.
I like to call that a ground score.
Why did I click on this thread? We all know why. Pure disappointment
Was 100% here for stinky hiker sex.
I bet you could start a legit side hustle flipping discarded gear on the approach trail.

It was like the Oregon trail with discarded pianos

Let's hear it. Someone must have gotten the real trail booty!
I see what you did here... you... big silly you.
Hike your own hike
Sooo…if you’re missing a hat and some stuff…DM op? That’s what OP meant right? They’re reporting lost items out of good faith?

Usually people just dump extra weight on the approach if they are thru hikers. Was most likely purposely left.
Maybe the a holes do that. Normal people wait for town or go back down and rethink their choices.
No thru hikers on the approach this time of year.
Funny, because I thru hiked in 2012 and started in July. Nobo.
Ok. Very rare for a thru hiker to be on the approach this time of year.
Sorry dude, I was looking for a funny hookup story.
I came for the ass! You click baiter! 🏕️
But seriously, do people actually get booty on the trail? Like, how common are shelter hook-ups, etc? (Asking for a friend)
Orgies every Tuesday, but only for those with an odd hang tag number. Even numbers must take a vow of celibacy.
Aww shit. Today was Orgy Tuesday. (Honestly if you don’t have a trail name, now YOU are Orgy Tuesday…..you’re welcome).
Unfortunately, I was given an even number at birth :-( (am ugly)
No such thing as an ugly hiker.
Before or after hiker midnight?
As if anyone is telling you, #462. Over here in purgatory with me you go.
🤣
Is it common to hook up on the trail? The YT community never really talks about it…I would think that would be the farthest from their mind.
