Anyone else do it recreationally?
Have done it a few times, doing almost 40 miles next week on the AT for a family trip/ vacation.

Did a little in the Marine Corps. Seriously though, I’d like to get into it but way too many hobbies.

Yeah after the marines if someone asked me to do it I'd probably shove them in a backpack 
Men call it "shed hunting" or "foraging". The economy is in the dumpster because of people who love hiking.

My beloved Marine Corps has ruined 3 things for me... beaches, pine trees and walking with anything on my back! AKA. Back packing

Facts... wife wants to go to beach with the kids so bad I'm not looking forward to it... pine tress well , yeah screw those to. And I don't enjoy anything on my back or touching my neck lol. I'm the young neighbor out of the neighborhood yelling at all the retired people to stay off my damn lawn! Although the one neighbor is very close to finding out what a backpack is

Don't forget about your butthole. @Quantum673 doesn't like talking about it either. But I think yall would do well to get it out.
Meh! I haven’t ever shit in a shower because I couldn’t control my sphincter.
When I was younger, we’d backpack into the wilderness areas of the Allegheny National Forest for 8-10 days in the spring and fall.
I Was never an “ultra lighter”. We’d deal with 70# packs to a base camp some miles in then do one-day hikes from there in different directions.
Some of the best times ever!

Love the area! Used to hunt below Chapman's Dam. You could see 150 deer in a day there and be lucky to see any antler back in the 70's...
