>>2715952In my (limited) experience, trail names come in two flavors.
The gay retarded ones like what you're posting about, which makes up the majority of trail faggots.
Or, the slightly personal nicknames. For instance, when I did a portion of the AT, I met a man named 'baby step bill' who's real name was Bill, but he often advised passerbys on acclimating to higher altitudes by slowing down your walking pace into smaller steps. He was quiet, and wore dull colors, enjoying nature on his own. We leapfrogged along the way, with me still getting used to the thinner air and keeping up my long as strides, needing to stop regularly, and him making a slow steady pace all day. By the end, he named me machete matt, because I was a dumb kid who thought I needed a machete. The name felt cool then, but looking back it was kind of silly.
Those are the trail names that are all right. Small nicknames with a small detail or story behind them. People who go "haha my name is caveman because my arms are hairy" need to be flayed and salted.
