[pct-l] Carrying Water on your Hips (Fraud alert)

[AsABat]

Now we have evidence that Switchback is a fraud. John Muir never used a
waist/belly pack. Muir used his coat pockets to carry his few supplies
with a blanket over the shoulders. Muir was considered ultralight in his
day, although wool and fur were not real light weight. But the biggest
proof I have that Switchback is a fraud is this: Muir never once
mentioned Switchback's name to me.
 
But do stop by and see Switchback at the ADZ. He says he's handing out
free toilet paper.
 
Beware of trail pirates,

The waist/belly pack is something I have used for at least 100 years on
the trail.  John Muir was the one who mentioned it to me one day when we
were banging along the Sierra crest -- I pointed out to him where the
JMT trail was going to go someday, he was very pleased.  
 
Attending this seminar you receive a beautiful certificate of completion
suitable for hanging on your office wall.  Last year's seminar it was
well attended.
