Er, that's all I got.

Cuz that's all I saw.

Funny image, though.

Oh please.




Maybe he had to use the restroom or something.

Whaddaya mean -- a chassid can't go camping in November?

when will we do away with stereotyping.. I find no humor in this. anyone can do anything.

What city ooc?

Ah, indeed, the nasty, malicious stereotype that chassidim aren't campers. We must fight back.NYC.

He probably needed equipment to burn down his warehouse for the insurance money...

You want stereotypes, we've got stereotypes!

After purchasing his Marmot tent, he began thinking about his ascent up Mt Kilimanjaro and the necessary ropes, pullies, carabiners, crampons and pick axe that he'll need to go with his broken-in Asolos. He remembers his last trek and it's nothing like the one he's got planned.

He saw Goldfish in the store and snickered to himself. She looked shocked to see a chasid in a bekishe shopping at EMS, little did she know that he's an accomplished hiker, cyclist and climber.







gf, your presumption is whack!

You people have no sense of humor.

Wow!

If only you knew.

Ha! He doesn't fit your box you've mapped out for him in your mind! increase your mindset.

Why does it even strike you as odd/ humurous? Because it shocks your beliefs.. your pre-existing knowledge base.. increase it!

I bless us all with an open heart.. an open mind!

I can only go by what I see. This thread's premise is such a tame, gentle joke and you people are acting like I'm skewering a sacred cow.

I guess it was one of things where "you had to have been there".

Goldfish, would it be as funny if the guy wasn't chasidish?

Blessed are those who go camping with chassidim.

Of course not. But seriously, if a chassid goes camping, does he bring rollers for his peyos because he has nowhere to plug in his curling iron?

You need to check out Inward Bound. Although he desperately needs to redesign his website...

Maybe yes, maybe no. there have been several planned trips, men or men and sons only. Rabbi shmuley used to camp shabbosim as a family, and invited me several times…

He then remembered he'd seen the new Arc'teryx waterproof snowboard pants in the window the other day and knew his backcountry expedition would put 'em to the test quite nicely. While deciding between a new bivy sack for the warmer weather, he popped a few boxes of GU into his basket out of habit..then remembering he now kept kosher-- tried to hide the sheepish grin on his face (and hoped no one would judge him poorly for it) while gingerly replacing them on the shelf. His roving eye landed on his other fave, gool 'ol kof-k Clif Bars (carrot cake!) and OU Agel packets instead. Even though he'd been religious for over a year already, old ways tended to die hard..he wondered when GU wouod start to make kosher liquids & gel cubes..

Shaking his head to clear it from old memories, he reached over for [yet another] Nalgene bottle; his last had gone over the edge when a freak windstorm had blown half his campsite away on his last trip to the Andes.
Luggage section was next, headed on over to the Eagle Creek section of Pack-Its to get some packing envelopes for his shabbas shirts (should he get the 6-shirt or 12-shirt version? The bekishe would fit nicely in the 12 he decided finally). The smaller packing cube he knew, would hold his nicer tzitzis and gartel too while they sat buried in his Patagonia pack for six, long, weary, dirt-slogging days.. he may enjoy roughing it during the week, but the weekends were solely for Gd.
