Gotta love Trail Names! What's your all time favorite??
Love this wondered how hikers got their trail names. Would be so cool to see a list of all the different trail names over the years 😁.
That would be great! What would your trail name be??
“Hey You!” Haha that’s a good one
Haha right?
Poop Bag was my favorite lol
Haha that’s great, wonder the story behind it
My hiking buddy, named me "væltesmølf"
It is danish and means "tripping smurf".
A Lot of my gear is blue, and I often trip over own feet 😂
Haha that’s great. How was everyone’s pronunciation of that?
Tuesday, March 12th: I am "Ross08" = Retired, old, slow, and steady ('08' because there are other Ross's on the trail).
Haha that’s amazing. Love it
@PackAndSoul In 2020, my first AT thru-hike attempt, at Mountain Crossing, every pack shakedown at the store when an extra ziploc plastic bag was found, the staff tried repeatedly to name the hikers before me (and also myself) "Ziploc". The Mountain Crossing staff were unsuccessful in every instance.
@@pleok08 ha that's great. Ya know, Ive never heard of a hiker named ziploc... hard to believe! good for you for resisting!
I did not know of this trail name phenomenon! I need one. Thank you for expanding my brain 🤯
Thanks for watching Susy!
Two Hollywoods? On the same trail? At the same time? It's like the Twilight Zone!
Exactly!
Another useful, well done Hollywood production. Appreciate your work Nick. Keep em coming.
Thanks so much for watching and the positive feedback!
Mine is Quint. Started hiking after a quintuple bypass I had never hiked before but needed to after surgery.
WHOA, that's amazing. Inspiring 🙂
I find out the "rule" of not giving yourself a trail name is - according to past thru hikers I met on the AT (who hiked before early 2000s) - a "new" thing - before that, everyone chose their own.
Feel free to give yourself a trail name. I think half the hikers I met on the trail chose their own. There were also lots of people who used a name given to them by hiker friends before they hit the AT.
The process of having AT peeps give you a trail name will involve rejecting about 100 poop related ones, and then you end up "allowing" yourself to be called "skid mark" anyhow because you slip on trail or something - and you aren't getting any better option lol. (Not mine, just as real an example I could think of).
Ultimately, since you have veto power, you basically are choosing a name for yourself, anyhow. So why not choose something you like, and if the AT peeps can top it, go with that.
Making thing: have fun with it and LIKE your trail name.
Absolutely, definitely agree with this. Whatever is gonna make your time out there the best it can be, do that! And…we certainly don’t need any more poop names lol. Thanks so much for the comment, appreciate it.
"Papa Smurf" here... an old grey-haired guy with a blue shirt and a blue backpack. (See photo to the left) Hey, I've been called worse. How'd I get it? While on a solo hike I ended up hiking a section of a trail with a small group of mostly strangers. Someone in the group, "Joker", had the idea to give trail names to a couple of us who didn't have one. At the time I wasn't aware that this was even a thing. I was lucky. One guy in the group was called, "Dumpy". The story is, he got it one day after developing stomach issues and repeatedly being forced to step off the trail and dig a cat hole to take care of business. The funny thing is that he said it was better than his previous trail name, which he never would reveal. I guess the name I got wasn't so bad.
Papa Smurf!! Love that. Thanks so much for sharing your story :-)
Such a cool part of any trail. Love it
Thanks for watching!
Blazer probably the most common. Great video
Oh yeah, big time! Every other third person
More videos!
What would yours be?
Good video, love the idea of a different persona for a while. We should all adopt that at some point
100% agree!
steady as he goes.
Ooo I like that
Smiley because I always have an upbeat attitude
Love it!
That sucks :( I travel alone... I want a trail name too :)
Give yourself one!! Definitely don't have to follow the "rules" lol
"loner", you're welcome
@@cracked229 thanks! I like that one 👍🏻
I know Hopper!
I became Rock Dogg on the AZT.
Same hopper I wonder!?! Young guy, civilian name Thomas?
@@edfox6485 love that... also would love to hike the azt one day! sure it was amazing
Different Hopper, then. This one's name was Brian.
Make more vids please
You got it ;-)
I'm Crackerjack, cause of the snack I always carry. Better than Poopy Pants.
haha way better. Crackerjack reminds me of my childhood at baseball games, love it
