[at-l] 3 things hikers talk about

[daveh at psknet.com (David Hicks)]

I think Sketter and Jim nailed it for the talk on the trail during much, if 
not most, of a hike.

However, I've seen a number groups of thuhikers early in their hikes, where 
foot problems, and terrain move up into the top three.

But for what "thruhikers" talk about - skeeter nailed it -

1. Food (my next meal)
2. Food (what I want when I get to town)
3. Food (resupply aka where/when and /or "I never want to even SEE Ramen
again" )

followed (in no particular order) by weather, miles and who's ahead and
behind and who got off the trail.  YMMV
