[pct-l] Eliminate the herd - hunting hikers

[Bill Batchelor]

This is a PERFECT solution.  We could issue tags to manage the herd.  The
reason this works so well is (any long distance hiker can tell you) that the
thru hiker tastes best early in the trek before they become increasingly
tough and smelly.  This would draw most hunters to the early part of the
trail where the herd is.  Really, no one in their right mind would want to
put a single bite of thru-hiker in their mouth once north of Mojave.

I vote that the herd of 2008 all carry vidoecams we then produce ummmm. 2560
miles at 2.5 miles per hour is 1024 hours of videos. All future pct hikers
will be required to purchase a treadmill that will automaticaly self adjust
to trail slope while watching said videos. To actually qualify as a pct thru
hiker you will be required to fly to aguadulce and stay at the saufleys then
slack pack to the andersons 1 out of 5 must also visit the
dinsmores(assuming we have closer to 100% completion). To be an official
thru hiker and receive and pin you must have 2 witnesses verify that you
actually walked the treadmill for each section with at least a 20lb(unless
you can prove you could actualy backpack with less. Maybe we could get
Switchback or other volenteers to certify pack weight on the infamous warner
springs loop trail) with  pack and you must complete all 2560 miles in a 12
month contiguous period(maybe we should all vote for 6 months instead of
12?).
 
This way we can all hike our own hike(unfortunatly SB'ers must walk
backwards while playing the videos in reverse). Weather considerations would
be a moot point. You may be able to do this while holding down a part time
job. The herd should be eliminated since you can start at any time. Tent and
sleeping bags, stove selections(GE or Maytag) will be greatly simplified.
Maybe the trail angels could then start a pre registration required policy
where no more then 3 to 5 hikers will show up on any given day. Additionaly
the mosquito problems will be mostly eliminated, and the post master at
Warner Springs will be eternaly gratefull.
 
Happy trails
