[pct-l] Financing Switchback's Thru Hike

[Sandi]

no, Greg....you totally missed it!  By his own admission, he's auctioning people off to Pirates and Indians...therefore, the lure is to get you out there, having believed his bogus story about his providence; and then when you are least expecting it, you find yourself suddenly sailing the 7 seas, telling stupid pirate jokes.  ("Where did the pirate put his car? In the pARking lot."  "Where does a pirate get his sandwiches?  ARby's"  "How does a pirate learn his lessons?  The hARd way")  It's sad, really sad.

This is obviously a setup, a scam, and a trap.  Switchback is tempting you to go into the wilderness without food and stove.  Then when you are weak from hiking without food, he will strike and plunder your camp, hauling away your tent, tarp, sleeping bag and pad, and all your other gear.  This guy is not to be trusted, he's a rogue and a thief.  On your PCT hike you need to bring not only food and stove, but also sword and pistol to defend yourself from his raids.

Good luck, hikers.

PS  I am waiting for a year when this pirate will not be on the trail to do my PCT thru hike.

  I plan to auction off the other expedition members to the Indians and river pirates along the Colorado River.  The proceeds will finance my 2008 PCT thru hike.  This is too cool.  I will sell the blankets, baskets, and horses up at the South Rim when I come out.  
   
  I should be able to stay at the finest motels, eat the best foods, and have llama/mule trains meet me at various spots along the trail with supplies.  There will be pretty of extras for all my thru hiker bros and sisters.  So, if you are planning a PCT 2008 thru hike forget about bringing a stove or any food.  I will provide it for you.  No problem -- on my dime and my treat.
   
  Your pal, Switchback

  PS: I will do an after action report when I come back from the expedition.
