Hiker Trash

A term describing long-distance hikers whose absence from “civilization” has led them to abandon certain social norms and expectations and to become disheveled in appearance. Although it sounds like an insult, true hiker trash take it as a compliment.

Quintessential hiker trash: napping and using the outlets.

Example: “You know you’re hiker trash when you spot two electrical outlets outside Kroger and decide it’s the perfect place to spend the afternoon.”
