anyone want to go backpacking
#4436705 - 07/22/05 01:55 AM (18 years, 8 months ago) |

So I made this thread, because like.. I'm doing a lot of travelling. looking for any potential travel friends or somebody(s) who just want to go camping and hiking or whatever. I dont have any real friends that do a lot of backpacking.. and I recently got some new gear. So if you like adventures, let me know.. because adventures kick ass. And I'd like to do part of the appalachian trail, or anyplace cool.
good times

I'd definately swing by and pick you up to do some traveling if I wasn't so damn beat from my past two months of traveling. I just want to go home now.

shit you could spend 2k easy on a thru hike if you buy all that fancy freeze dried food and shit.. I'd bring my own and dehydrate my own... much much much much cheaper.
But I got all the gear.. just need a smaller tent. Damn my tent takes up way too much room in my pack.

Yeah, that's cool man. I might be moving to Georgia in a couple weeks. I personally don't have a drivers license but I'm sure a buddy of mine would be interested...he browses the Shroomery but I don't think he posts often. But it would definitely be awesome.
Because like you said Shroomism, Backpacking kicks ass
