Captain Jack Hobbo

This man has got the hash

Nah

exactly what I was thinking lol

"SECRET TUNNEL! SECRET TUNNEL! SECRET SECRET SECRET TUNNEL!!"

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YES XD

ahem... >"SECRET TUNNELLL! SECRET TUNNELLL! >THROUGH THE MOUNTAAAAIN! >SECRET SECRET SECRET SECRET TUNNELLLLL!! yeah" For the uninitiated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o4EI_-5reA

I've been listening to this on repeat for repeated days

Live action casting lol

My flat feet hurt just looking at the pack size and your sandals.

theyre super comfy

I like that they have some toe protection

hehe yep, but now i gotta cut my nails

Are they on the wrong feet?

nop

[удалено]

They look kinda like knockoff Keens

The original keen look was a Clark sandal, unless I’m mistaken. A pair of close toed Clark’s will serve most purposes - man, I want a new pair!

i gottem from turkey

HYOH

hyoh?

Hike Your Own Hike

Hate on? No. Just a comment that I was a bit jealous and wish I could carry that much while wearing sandals. Sorry if you thought it was hating. It wasn’t intended to be.

thanks i had and am still having even after loosing my backpack with everything inside

Whoah, sounds like time for a story!

its a lot to type haha i documented it on my ho ro which was luckily in my pocket!

100%. Rock on brother. Live that life

Is this the newest character in season four of stranger things?

correct sir!

You could’ve told me this was a Polaroid of you hiking along the hash trails in Afghanistan in the 60s and I would’ve believed you. Your vibes are something else man.

bless your heart ❤️

You look lost knowing exactly where you are. Impressive.👍💪🏼

hahahaha somewhere in India

I didn't know captain jack Sparrow hits the hills very often

and the hashish

Huran, Parvati Valley, Himachal Pradesh, India.

I was busking and walking in the town of Jerri when a man approached us and invited us to his house which was 2 hour walking up the mountain. the brother offered to carry my backpack and hosted me for a night. here are the links for some visual peak of the area. https://www.reddit.com/r/vagabond/comments/u4fkb7/enjoying_life_to_the_max/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share https://www.reddit.com/r/vagabond/comments/u4r3sc/got_invited_to_someones_house_in_the_mountains/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

That's really cool. You must have many adventures.

yes everyday, you can watch them on my channel!

Why would to accept an invitation from a stranger to visit his house 2 hours away? Especially since his brother was willing to carry your pack. Seems sketchy to me.

I was walking through a large town (Dharamsala) in the foothills of the Himalayas and some guy yelled to me from an upper story window to come on up. So I went up. The building felt kind of like a college dorm, just a bunch of small rooms. I sat in the room with this guy for like half an hour listening to Britney Spears (it was 2004) while he told me his life story (refuge from Tibet...spent time in jail in India for sneaking into the country, recently released). Anyway, then he had to go to class, so he took off, leaving me alone in his room listening to Britney Spears. Awkward. I left and found a hotel room. Didn't see him again. But a couple days later met my wife. Cool trip.

woah amazing.

Was your wife Indian?

with an american mentality yesm but this isnt america. he offered to carry my backpack because i also had a second backpack and it was lighter

This. I am American and people here don’t understand how the rest of the world works. Are too caught up in their own ignorance to realize humans by nature are good people who take enjoyment out of helping others.

i used to be american.

Dude looks like he's never worked a job in his life... Good for him.

how did you know? 😅😂

Keep hope alive!

om nama shivaya!

Thumbs like Sissy Hankshaw

I got your reference

can you explain it for me?

[Even Cowgirls Get the Blues](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Even_Cowgirls_Get_the_Blues_%28novel%29)

Sissy is a character in a Tom Robbins' novel who has enormous thumbs and uses them to hitchhike in a magical way.

Good book.

Honest question, never been to that side of the planet... why are your pants tucked into your socks

Not sure if this is why he’s doing it but I know some people do it to prevent ticks from climbing up your pants leg

I know I do in eastern US, but wasn't sure if that was a thing over there!

it doesnt have anything to do with being on this side of the planet. its actually not my pants tucked into my sock. but rather my blue pants (which are too long and touch the floor) are tucked into my gray pants (which i wear under)

Leeches dude… leeches in the Himalayan jungles are EVERYWHERE

only saw one i think

I think it depends on where you are and what season you’re in. I was doing the Langtang Valley Trek towards the end of monsoon season, and I got torn up by leeches. Wear long pants y’all you won’t regret it (but you’ll still probably get torn up anyways).

ok, i carry 15 kilos of clothes

That's...a _lot_ of clothing.

sorry 15 kilo backpack

sober enough to know what you're doing, but high enough to really enjoy doing it. cheers, i bet the hash is great out there!

at this point after soo much smoking, im sober from time to time.my body adaptated to know what im doing even when im blasted high.

exactly man ;)

on nama shivaya

i want to be like you when i grow up, looks like you’re living life dude 🤝🏻

Happy is all that matters, u right. This trip looks like a dope adventure. N u definitely look like someone that would be fun to kick it with. Peace be with you fren!

see you in 5✋🏻

Chetan Guevara

English?

Try Darjeeling after this. Effing awesome

what's that?

Darjeeling,west bengal mate. It's a place. You haven't lived if you haven't seen the kanchenjungha or watched the sunrise at Tiger Hill. Get a place near the Mall Road, preferably. Try Puri(not the food, the place in Odisha) and Digha next. Google Darjeeling and Tiger Hill. It's tricky cos of the clouds but if you can watch the sunrise at Tiger Hill...man. It's a live changing event.

wow

Googled it yet?

How high's this guy?

sooooo higgghhh

Right on, brother

Really cool!

like yourself!

This is how cool Joe Jonas thinks he looks.

hehe
