HikerToon: Sh*t Ultralighters Say

Ultralighters are always finding ways to reduce their pack weight. Everything from cutting corners off a foam sleeping pad to removing tags from clothing; it's all about saving weight. This idea, however, is a bit more....extreme.

I want to credit Brian's Backpacking Blog (briangreen.net) on this. I got the idea for this comic after reading an article there by the same name. A commenter by the name 'Section Hiking' made a joke about dropping letters from your name to save weight. The 'e' is just too heavy to bring into the backcountry, he said. Pretty funny, I thought. So, I drew it up.

GearToon - There's A Problem With My Order...

Maybe it's just my lazy Southern drawl, but everytime I say 'Wicking shirt', it comes out 'Wiccan shirt'. That's pretty much all there is to this cartoon. Have a nice day.

GearToon - Trailname FAIL

Sometimes, it's better to pick your own trailname rather than let your buddies pick it for you.

I don't have a trail name, really. Some buddies and I went out once and thought it'd be funny to give each other crappy trail names. Nobody really liked theirs, so we had a gentleman's agreement that we'd forget the whole thing. I was pretty relieved, since the name they handed me was 'Puddin'.

In case you're wondering, the reason I was called Puddin', was because I made some pudding in a freezer bag for desert that night. It looked like a bag full of sasquatch diarrhea, so nobody would eat it except me. And dang, if it wasn't tasty!

GearToon - DWR vs. Waterproof: There's a difference?

There's a difference between 'waterproof' and 'water resistant'? Yep. It's good to know which your jacket is BEFORE the downpour begins. Anything that claims to be 'breathable AND waterpoof' is fibbing just a little. If it's breathable, it'll likely begin to wet out (allow moisture in) at some point, but waterproof fabric will withstand water way, way longer than anything that is just treated to be water resistant.

Billy Cathole's Guide to Dropping a Deuce in the Woods

Here's a little comic we did to help you figure out the proper way to poop in the woods. Yeah, there's lots of articles on how to poop out there and do it so that you minimize your impact on the environment (and keep it off the boots of other hikers), but there aren't many comics that'll show you how! Not sure if that's a good thing or not...Hmm. On second thought, avoid this at all costs! Nightmares could ensue! Dogs and cats living together in sin! Run for your life!

Nevertheless, if you dare, you can view the individual pages and download the pdf file here. Enjoy!
