Whariwharangi Hut -- 10 Commandments of Tramping

Among the items kept in the Whariwharangi Hut--chess set, playing cards--we found a report book from the UoA Tramping club.

The end of the line was the perfect place to find these commandments:

1. Thou shalt not wear matching polypropylene outfits.

2. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors trail mix.

3. Thou shalt eat, drink, walk, and be merry.

4. Thou shalt dance a jig at all important occasions.

5. Thou shalt walk straight through the mud and not pussy-foot around it like a sissy little girl; what doest thou think the tramping boots are for anyway?

6. Thou shalt not soil the river.

7. Thou shalt not clean thy teeth nor shalt thou brush thy hair on a tramp.

8. Thou shalt not disrespect, abuse, or waste zip-loc bags.

9. Thou shalt not snore.

10. Thou shalt not worship false idols--for example, Canoeing Satan, or Kayaking Beelzebub.
