The way I "weed them out" is to force them to read accounts of my trips (some of which are posted to the QJ "Campfire Stories" page).

If THAT doesn't scare'em off, I figure they might be worthy or, perhaps, nuts... which at least promises to contribute an amusement element into our trip's chemistry.

Frankly, others have used the same tactic to INCLUDE me in their plans.  Tripper's account of his long solo absolutely captivated my attention & led to our hooking up for a trip.  Likewise, I have another trip planned for July with QJ members whom I've never met.  I've read their trip reports, stories, & comments on the board.  Helps me get to feeling like I "already know them".

BTW, I've come up with a potential solution to the "snoring factor", at least as it pertains to me.  This Xmas, I am somewhat confident of finding under my tree a new, fancy "hammock tent".  This will effectively allow me to deploy myself WELL out in the woods.  Heck, I might even be serving as our party's "first line of defense" with respect to scaring bears & other unwelcome critters away.

Almost as good as bagpipes, eh?
