HikerChat

replying to @TheSoCalHiker @TheSoCalHiker A8: It's magic for a reason! Can't turn that down, unless there are people in greater need @TETONsports #hikerchat

replying to @TheSoCalHiker A8: I wouldn't turn it down, someone wants to help so I wouldn't deny them the feeling to do so @TheSoCalHiker. #hikerchat

replying to @TheSoCalHiker @TheSoCalHiker A8 If I didn't really need the help & thought s/one else might need it more. #HikerChat

replying to @TheSoCalHiker @TheSoCalHiker A8. Again, if it is within sight of my car, I'd definitely turn it down. #hikerchat

A8: I might pass if I didn’t really need or want it at the moment.
Directly proportional to # of days on the trail.

replying to @TheSoCalHiker @TheSoCalHiker if I really don't need what's being offered. I would ask them to pay it forward to the next person/group A8 #hikerchat

replying to @TheSoCalHiker A8 #hikerchat If it was trailhead hot dogs I’d have to turn it down as I’m vegetarian! @TheSoCalHiker

A8 - Not all magic is meant for you...you can add to the trail magic by leaving it for the next person. #hikerchat

replying to @TheSoCalHiker @TheSoCalHiker A8 I have, when I had plenty of food/water myself; wanted to leave it for someone else. #hikerchat

replying to @TheSoCalHiker @TheSoCalHiker A8: Only if I am 100% ready for what may come between then and the next stop. #Hikerchat

#hikerchat A8: I never turn down an opportunity to get out and get moving if I can help it.

replying to @TheSoCalHiker @TheSoCalHiker A8. yeah, I've turned sunscreen. You can't tell me what to do! 😎 #hikerchat

replying to @TheSoCalHiker @TheSoCalHiker A8: Never, turning down a random moment of kindness from a person or the universe is bad juju #hikerchat

replying to @TheSoCalHiker @TheSoCalHiker a8: stubbornness is a dangerous trait. Let people help. It makes everyone feel better. #hikerchat

replying to @TheSoCalHiker @TheSoCalHiker A8 If I knew the next person was in danger and needed it badly. (Joining late to drink from the firehose of #hikerchat

replying to @TheSoCalHiker @TheSoCalHiker A8 Dude want a drag off my spliff? Umm, no thanks. Good luck, catch ya later. #hikerchat

replying to @TheSoCalHiker @TheSoCalHiker A8 Unfortunately I'm not hugely trusting of other humans-might not feel comfortable accepting food from a stranger #hikerchat

replying to @TheSoCalHiker A8: @TheSoCalHiker I would if I thought someone else needed it more than I did #hikerchat.
