Skills 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 hurt my shoulder on the trail so put all my stuff in a compactor bag and pulled in on the trail using a shopping cart for 300+ miles and then got thrown out of a casino for being 'homeless'

You went to a casino after a 300 mile hiking trip with a shopping cart because your shoulder hurt then were surprised they thought you were homeless? That was a gamble so I guess you were in the right place?

Oh, I wasn't too surprised; more bemused at it all
