FUCH3 Hare Guidelines
Checklist:
- Contact Hare Raiser and sign up to hare at least 1 week in advance.
- To be done at
least 3 days before the hash:
- Specify location and other details (what, when, trail type/distance, etc.)
- Contact Beer Meister and arrange to pick up
stocked coolers prior to the hash
- Locate flour bags if needed and arrange to pick
them up
- Make sure
bars are open at the time of the hash (especially the starting bar).
- Hares are responsible for transporting coolers,
not the Beer Meister.
- Stash trash bags in coolers for cleanup.
- Clean and
dry the coolers before returning them to the Beer Meister. At very least
drain the water (turn them upside-down), throw out the empties, and store them open so they don’t get moldy.
- Hares are responsible for obtaining flour and
chalk for trail and ice for the coolers.
- Keep receipts for any hash-related expenses and
give them to the Hash Cash.
- Let Hash Cash/MisManagement know beforehand how
much extra cash to bring for reimbursements and if any beer stops will be at
bars.
- Look over our trail mark guide: http://www.meetup.com/UC-HHH/pages/UCH3_Trail_Marks/
Some of the following are guidelines rather than rules. We’re always open to new ideas; just check
with MisManagement first (if you want to lay a longer trail, implement a new
mark, do a different kind of trail, etc.).
Laying Trail:
- Virgin
hares must always run with an experienced hare.
- Trails should generally be 3-6 miles.
- There should be at least 2 marks per city block
on True Trail.
- Design your trail such that walkers and runners
get to the beer stops at the same time. More
circular trails lend themselves well to turkey trails, whereas out-and-back type
trails will have to use check backs, YBFs, and other fuckery to keep everyone
together.
- Avoid long straightaways (more than 3-4 blocks).
- Make your checks/marks large and visible.
- Do not
lay trail with blue or purple chalk – give it to the hounds to mark checks.
- Do not
lay trail through private property (e.g. the yards of potential dog/gun
owners).
- Scout out your area before you lay trail.
- Always lay trail on sidewalks when possible (not
in the street).
- 90° turns (or switching sides of the street)
needs an arrow, leading marks, or a check.
- We have a lot of different hash marks; do not
use them all on one trail. Keep it simple.
- Avoid excessive use of the “just for fun” marks
(naughty checks, dance lines, etc.)
- A-A and A-A’ trails are always preferable. If
your trail is A-B, try to put B near a bus line.
Beer/Shot Stops,
Drop Bags, and Circle
- In genital, there should be a beer/shot stop or drop
bag about every 2-ish miles.
- Beer stops should last no more than 20 minutes to keep the hash moving. When the pack arrives, you have 10 minutes to
leave.
- Make sure beer stop and Circle locations won’t
draw attention from police/security.
- Always try to use hash beer – use bar stops
sparingly.
- Try to have Circle outdoors in a secluded area
close to on-after (less than a mile away).
- But if it’s super cold/windy/shitty, use
bars/indoor stops.
- If Circle is at a bar, make sure it’s a bar
where we have plenty of room and can get away with singing loud, vulgar songs
as a group (good - Murphy’s; bad - Houlihan’s).
