Shoot, we just try to hide the heaviest rocks we can find in each others packs and see how long it takes them to find out... and for the truly clever its about finding a heavy item that doesn't belong on the trip, and that can't be left on the trail, so its a game of passing it along to others without their knowledge. Last year it was a 12" crescent wrench! Needless to say at every trip start we are all very observant!

the other one is that we try to out do each other with descriptive phrases..... only the catch is that it has to be in the lingo of Louis Lamour! "his steely blue eyes and lantern jaw.... and rode his dun colored sway backed roman nosed etc... until we are laughing to hard to breathe and have to stop, only to start again!
