Dwight will be home soon I've seen guys like him. They try all this weird stuff and then they realize there is nothing like home.
When people talk about backpackers around here we give them that look , as we are used to guys and T-shirts and big muscles that are cops DJs and construction workers.
The hiking type of guy just does not feeling around here and we call those kids wood stockers that's smoke the leaf and take the pills. The blue Jean guys as they are also known the guys never played sports and always hung up on the mountain. Dwight don't come to where I live as you will not fit in.
Best of luck
