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

...Don't hike naked!! :whistle:

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.

well haven't hiked naked yet but i'm thinkin i could try it

id recommend hiking naked, as often as possible really.. just off the beaten path of course, i dont wanna see that.. hahaha

Remember: You're not truly naked unless you're barefoot!!

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.

It was a JOKE.

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

Welcome!!!!!

Okay Al. I'm not in the mood for an Internet argument. plz:

Chris, seriously - welcome.

whoa whoa whoa, calm down you two, i appreciate the jokes (even if i may not understand them yet) and also the welcomes, cant wait to hit the trails
