How not to hike
photo from GypsyRocks
This gentleman from Cambridge, MA graciously–albeit unknowingly–volunteered his time to teach beginning hikers everywhere exactly how not to hike. Thanks, sir!
Jeans — check
Sneakers — check
Garbage bag — check
Out of shape spaghetti legs — check
Random dudes from craigslist — check
Side note: My hiking buddy Suvid and I have a tradition which involves yelling, “Yay, Jeans!” whenever we see someone wearing jeans on the trail. We’re not trail snobs, but c’mon…jeans? Plz. It’s almost as silly as the time George Costanza suggested the Yankees switch to cotton uniforms from a polyester blend.
