I see a lot of AT thru-hiker videos with people sporting 50-65 liter packs. Do you notice a lot of hikers switching packs or compressing dead space after a month or so on the trail? I am by no means an ultralight guy and usually do only week long hikes, but 50-65 liters just seems like so much space, even for once a week resupplies. Also there's a guy whose trail name is Seven and makes a documentary of the trail every year. In them, there seems to be a culture of young hippies. People taking drugs don't have jobs and getting drunk on the trail cause they have nowhere else to be. Is this a big thing? Or just a subculture/minority? I don't mind people hiking and smoking a joint in the woods but if I had to hike along people who weread constantly on drugs it would get annoying.

Trinity, what does the perfect guy look and act like for you? Also if I win the lottery, you are invited to come party with me. Until then, I can only dream when I see your ads in NY :)
