After reading some of the remarks some of the posters were making on the Kuro5hin webpage it was plain to see some were cheering for this guy's demise. At least the guy had the cajones to go hike his own hike; regardless of how it ended he bested them all.......they're all STILL sitting at their weenie computers...while he's off backpacking among the stars <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />


Nah, that's only the lusers <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> K5 is it's own kind of culture. It's a place where those with some clue go to vent and those seeking clue come to get hit with a clue stick. People on K5 are *supposed* to be
jerks. He'd be doubly laughing at them for that.

Story still struck a chord with me. I'm a geek and hike solo a lot too.
