[pct-l] sexy men / Switchback's PCT fuzzy pink slippers

[Tortoise]

I agree with Paul.  Slack-packing is when one hikes from camp site to 
camp site carrying just a little gear and lunch and the camping gear, 
food, etc. are shuttled via vehicle from the camp site to camp site.

I don't know what term you would use to describe Switchback and mine 
style of taking time to enjoy the camp and the environment.  Perhaps normal!
