"Thus the title cynics, from the Greek word for dog,  kuon , was 
assigned to them because they lived like dogs; neglecting society, 
hygiene, family, money, etc. in order to lead wholly virtuous and happy 
lives."

"....Diogenes... carried the cynical philosophy to its farthest 
extreme....denied all physical wealth and pleasure; he lived in a barrel 
and his only possessions were a robe to cover himself and a walking stick."

Sounds like a hiker to me.
