Hiker Problems

I didn't plan for this...

  • Trekking pole strap tan lines: Dead giveaway as "hiker trash"
  • Missing the view because you're too busy staring at your feet, trying not to trip.
  • Obsessing (or not obsessing enough) over the water report.
  • Seeming to always JUST missing the trail magic.
  • Not knowing what date or day of the week it is.
  • It's super windy everywhere. Also frogs. Frogs everywhere.
  • Getting completely irate at the asshat hanging around your camp with their headlamp on full lumens ... until you realize that the "asshat" is actually the moon.
  • Getting plant seeds stuck in your clothes and poking you everywhere (and I do mean EVERYWHERE).
  • The trail only ever goes up.
