I can't smoke and walk at the same time. The damn pipe is constantly bouncing around and going out.

Hey, I can't walk and chew gum at the same time, what do think happens if I try smoking?
Generally I don't walk much because of back issues.

How can it take you two hours to get there in a hurry?
I haven’t had any issues, just don’t puff as much. One puff every 10 steps, something like that.
That's what happens when you're in the opposite of a hurry. When you're thinking man I just need to be alone right now and enjoy my own company for a while longer. Though for some reason that usually leads to a shorter then average smoke.
Walking (or lunting) was how I prepared for my first slow smoking contest. I used my steps as a way to regulate my cadence, getting it slower and slower, till eventually I just figured out that if I left the pipe in clench, and gave it no attention at all, that my breathing through my nose and the expansion of my throat when I did this was regulation of my cadence enough. Now, I just leave a pipe in clench all day long. But, of course I can't set down and do nothing, so I am always doing "something" while I smoke, even if it is just reading a book. Heck, I have been known to read and walk, no kiddin'.
another bob and cosmic threw in the word lunting, which means smoking a pipe while walking (at whatever speed). I think it is Scottish in derivation. Computer spell check hates it.
Indeed, it is a Scots word. One I hadn't heard for many years, and coincidently had been racking my brain trying to remember. The dictionaries will tell you it refers to a match, but it predates matches. In my youth it was a word for spills/tapers. I acquired about a thousand of them recently, hence my trying to remember the Scots word for them.
Personally I feel If walking through the Forrest Trails.. there is No set expectations for having to "Clench in your Mouth ? While walking.?
Its doable.. But Of course that's going to be a recipe for excessive burn
smoke.. etc. SO what I do is simply walk with it in my hand...? And periodically have a few puffs.. or stop a few seconds to puff.. take in your surroundings... then continue, back to hand holding pipe in a nice subconscious upright position. Works just fine. But in general.. Walking.. can often become tiresome, heavier breathing.. which makes me feel slightly guilty for Pipe...during that time. So over all Ill only light the pipe when Im taking it very easy.. slow walk.. Style. Pauses, puff.. continue.

Wake up about 6am, bathroom, get dressed, put on a pot of coffee drink a glass of water, load up 2 pipes, and go for an hour walk. Slowly...just to get moving. By the time I am back my wife is up, bed is made and we have coffee together as I smoke my 2nd pipe. The early morning walk with a good pipe is a perfect start to my day. The trick is to clench and smoke very slowly and deliberately and after a while it becomes second nature.
I'm sure this will be a bit of a hot take, but I think using the term "lunting" is pretentious. I get where it came from, and all that, but to say of oneself that you went lunting is... just foppish.
Of course it’s just foppish to say to oneself that you just went lunting. It’s supposed to be read in the past tense “I just went out for a lunt.”
And foppish isn't?
I was kind of hoping the irony was intentional?And foppish isn't?
I puff everytime my left foot hits the ground just to keep a good rhythm... left, left, your left right left... I burned out so many pipes hopping around on my left foot like that.
