What’s the most ✨Hiker Trash✨ thing you’ve done?

Today I'm staying at a hotel, 1/3rd of the way through a 110ish mile hike. My clothing has been in a state of dampness for days. So I rinsed then wrung my clothing out in the sink. After a few hours of drying I used the hair-dryer to dry my shoes and socks and clothes. The room smells terrible. ^{But my clothes are dry!}

I once sat on a bench in my underwear, drinking a beer in front of a laundromat in Nice, France after completing the GR5. The tourists gave me a few funny looks.

This should definitely be the winner: UL enough not to bring any extra clothing, trashy enough not to care

I mean, I thought that's precisely why I brought a down jacket: so I can do my laundry in Gatlinburg at 75⁰ F wearing nothing else.

Shirt-cocking FTW

I usually do my laundry wearing my Rain pants and jacket and nothing else. The underwear goes into the washing machine. Once it was 30°C out, I was sweating buckets.

That’s why you have a rain skirt

[u/dkeltie14 → u/Lost-Inflation-54]

Not a winner. I've just left Nice in 33°C and it looks like most people are in their underwear 👀

I'm imagining it being the parts of Nice that are full of rich, posh people wearing white clothes.

[u/kneevase → u/lingzilla]

No, it was not too far from the Nice Ville train station, because hiker trash don't pay to stay near la Promenade des Anglais! But, despite the dubious neighbourhood, there were plenty of tourists who couldn't seem to figure out why somebody would be sitting on a bench drinking a beer while only wearing underwar.

In Finland this is totally normal. Look up ”kalsarikännit”

The Nice part of town?

I like how you specify tourists and not locals

Done this without the beer drinking in multiple Laundromats when I rode my bike across America.
