This Might Mean You’re Going to
Have an Adventure Problem
Has any of this ever happened to you? Personally, I think I have heard all 25 of these at one tine or another during my years on the trail. I hope you enjoy the list... Stan
Here is the list:
- “You’ll be fine.”
- “I’m pretty sure it’s this way.”
- “We don’t need a map.”
- “I know where I’m going.”
- “Seems to be a bit further than I thought.”
- “There’s a bit of bushwhacking.”
- “The guidebook said to go up the ‘obvious gully.’”
- “We don’t need rain gear—it’s not supposed to rain until later.”
- “Hope you’re OK with a little breakable crust.”
- “I have an excellent natural sense of direction.”
- “I don’t remember it being this overgrown.”
- “Hopefully it’s just this short section of postholing.”
- “For some reason, I thought it didn’t get dark until later.”
- “No, I’m pretty sure I heard you say back at the car that you packed the tent poles.”
- “Those are not storm clouds. Those are just big, tall, puffy clouds.”
- “That’s what I forgot to buy—batteries for this headlamp.”
- “I’m 90 percent sure we go left here.”
- “So I looked through my whole pack, and it turns out I only brought one climbing shoe.”
- “Wow, these dehydrated meals have a lot of fiber in them. Like a lot a lot.”
- “It says to look for ‘a faint climbers’ trail.’”
