Perhaps Thoreau but I think Ghandi is a reach, I was more impressed by Yaniro's (Price and the others) who went to the ditch focused on free climbing difficulty but who only got grief from the local "hardmen" ie. too hungover, stoned etc. to push standards themselves.To each their own but to have to ask is usually a sign of unworthyness. Whatever that means I don't know.

haha.. no, definitely not ghandi. i wouldn't even say thoreau. but maybe just trying to get there in his own way. understand, though, i'm not supporting it though i'm not detracting from it either (but if he's really willing to let go of the luxuries or whatever he may call them then he'd get rid of buying drinks (after all, it's still something of a brand name and something to waste money on) and just drink water). i'm just explaining what he's trying to, and failing to somewhat, accomplish. the bad part is, though, i think he feels better than other people for that lifestyle. that's shitty, i say.

I guess I can be considered a dirtbag on weekends. Although I don't really think I'm a dirtbag compared to other people. Sure I can go a few days without showering and get by with eating cheap food...except I eat pizza and sandwiches at Miguel's.

But I don't think that makes me a true dirtbag. And the fact that I know that I CAN be a true dirtbag if I really wanted to and live a very simple life doesn't make me want to live that way. I appreciate coming home to a nice house and warm bed and my mom's food and having money that I can use to buy the stuff that I need...or really really want.

sorry about the options, i included a no but it didn't show up. dirtbags get by under the radar, climb as much as possible, live on nearly no money, and well are kinda dirty. i didn't expect many dirtbags online but i do expect more to be at miguels. and we do climb hard hungover and stoned.
