Chapter: Comics
I’ve been on a bunch of hikes where I would have loved to have found something like this. I always have plenty of appropriate food and water but sometimes I get a little delusional and fantasize about something more. It would be great to get to the top of that mountain and be greeted by a dude making sandwiches. That’s all I’m saying.

Just finished reading through the archives. Oh, and nice comic. I could really use one of those after a long hike…
I hear the all natural snack machines only vend overpriced and bland food, so I’d save it as a last resort 😛
how would you make the food fall if it got stuck? you can’t shake a tree…well i guess but you’d have to be really strong. who restocks them? Bigfoot?
And off panel there is a bear that is waiting for people to buy food the maul them for it.
I love SNAKZ machines. Just the other day I found one sticking out of the side of an oddly-shaped boulder.
If that wouldn’t hurt a tree, I would do it.
The new Snakz Trees, a product that is the culmination of genetic engineering and marketing. Grow one in your neighborhood and enjoy all-natural profits! Tree produces it’s own products! Franchises now available. Five varieties now available including the ever-popular chips Snakz tree, the nuts Snakz tree, the imitation fruit flavor Snaks tree, the chips and nuts hybrid Snakz tree and the chocolate Snakz tree.
go to China… you can get to the top of mountains and find restaurants, snack bars, and a million people offering to take a picture of your achievements =)
My only problem with Snakz Trees are that I never have money when I find one, but if I do bring money, I never find one… they can be so elusive, ya know?
The only downside of a dude at the top making sandwiches is that he’d be able to charge ridiculous prices. Like the dude from that Skittles commercial running a newsstand in the clouds.
“Three hundred dollars? For Skittles?”
“You can always buy your Skittles from some OTHER store… around here…”
i find this funny. i found a website today that sells edible camping gear http://www.ediblegear.com/
I climbed Mt. Fuji last year, and it’s pretty much like that. There’s several resting stations on the way where you can buy noodles and various high calorie snacks and some other stuff. On the top as well. There’s even a post office on the top. That, combined with the insane number of people that are climbing (think rush-hour train station; once you get near the summit you’re literally just queueing up behind everybody else), sort of takes away of the achievement of completing a ten hour night-time climb.
Though seeing the sunrise from the top was still awesome.
@Cyndaquazy;
That’s when you go looking for the ATM Tree!
How very RML’s (Rocko’s Modern Life) Hut Sut Raw episode.
Well, there are quite a few trees that have round, brightly-coloured things hanging from the branches that are good to eat. I think they go by the brand-name ‘Fruit’. Whoever set those things up must be some sort of hippie communist or something, though, because they don’t even bother to charge for them. :p
You know what’s the best thing ever? There used to be a guy who ran a pizza shop near the Appalachian Trail, and he would regularly take pizza fixin’s and a portable pizza oven up onto the trail and make pizzas for folks.
They have a shop and cafe at the top of my native tall mountain – Mt Snowdon!
It takes around 4 hours (*i think?*) to climb it (*considering I havent climbed in a while, prob. not accurate*)
