Hello!

Post by postyles »

I am new to this website but have been hiking for a couple of years now. I am starting to get into backpacking but am still trying to buy all the gear. If anyone has any comments, suggestions or welcoming words i would love to hear them.
Thanks,
Chris Polito

Hey welcome to the site. There is a discussion right this minute on another thread about buying gear, if you'd like to join in: http://www.hikearizona.com/dex2/viewtop ... 073#p51073

As for hiking naked, that's an inside joke, having to do with a popular thread on here where everyone is debating the pros and cons.

Jeff - give it a rest. This is a new member with no history of the debate on the other thread. When you post something like this from outta nowhere to a new member it starts to look like you have some homoerotic fascination with guys hiking naked. So give it a rest please. Thanks. Don't let that discussion pollute other discussions.

We know you were joking, but the new guy doesn't have the history of the discussion so the comment appears wierd. Just like joking about "make sure you have a leash". No framework for the comment. Nuff said. Stay frosty.

OH YEAH - Welcome Postyles. :welcome: We have a lot of discussions about trails, trail conditions, gear etc. But we also discuss everything here - pick and choose your battles. :gun: It''s one reason this emoticon is so popular :bdh: :kf:
