A "real" man?

A friend who went along on our Memorial Day hike emailed these pics to me yesterday, reminding me of one of the funniest moments of that weekend. One of our guys, a type A personality (notice he's in the lead...as he was the whole trip), brought a backpack that included a handle for pulling as a suitcase. I think the manufacturer intended this multipurpose pack for use in airports, but, despite gravel and roots, he said, "Why carry when you can roll?"
Not 2 minutes later, we approached a park ranger and group of girls. To our astonishment, he threw ego aside and continued to pull the pack. If you look closely, you can see the woman shaking her finger at him as she said, "Now that's not right! A real man would carry his pack." Paying them no mind, he pulled it until we started actually climbing.
