Language of the trail

Language of the trail:
1. Zero day-- when u hike no miles in a day ( we haven't had any of these yet)
2. Nero day-- when you laze around, then hike just a little. We had Nero days at fish lake and crater lakeside far.
3.  cotton world-- the real world
4. Gram weenie-- (we obviously aren't). One obsessed with the weight of their pack.
5. Camel up-- drinking a liter of water so u don't have to carry it
6. Fatty up-- same thing but with food.
7  trail brain-- severe effort required to accomplish or remember anything at all.
8 the shakedown: when someone with more experience goes through your pack and gets rid of all the things you think I can't live without.
9. Resupply box: food and supplies that you mail ahead, and you open as if it were Christmas.
10. Base weight-- the weight of your pack without food and water... Obviously we do not know what our base weight us.
11. Hiker midnight:9pm
( soooo true)
