Me? I'd probably hit the commode first.
 Kyle is one of my favorite YT backpackers...a mix of sophomoric douche humor and sound advice. If you've watched enough of his videos you get the impression that he's very likely one of us if you catch my drift.

Always stop for a burger and a beer after, before even getting home.

I'd take the longest, hottest shower I could.

My wife "made" me get matching tattoos with her: She's from FL and represents the ocean; I'm from the mountains in WA: Mountains to sea...  What of the weirdest things is that I never, ever drink soda/pop, but for some reason, an ice cold Coke really hits the spot after being on the hot/humid trail for several days. ROCK6 |

funny. First thing I do after getting back from the field is a long, hot shower. I just sit under the water for a bit before I actually clean up. Gets me back into "city" mode.

Shower. Laundry. Food. Clean gear
Too many years of coming home with duffels of dirty military gear. You can't let that stuff sit for too long because it doesn't take long for the science experiments to start growing. |

ROCK6 I always said the thing I miss most on the trail is .....ice. And as for smelling up a place after coming off the trail? I just found that the best places to go for a burger and beer really couldn't tell the difference and neither could any their other customers.

I'm the opposite. First thing is take care of equipment and maintenance. Old Army training.
