Hikers have to walk, but inanimate objects like cameras placed on the trail will move slowly north, carried by one or more through-hikers. I have read that this includes useless objects like lead weights, horseshoes and an (in)famous green hammer. Once one of these objects has been placed in your back by a 'friend' trail lore forbids you to throw it away so you have to insert it into someone else's pack to continue its slow journey along the PCT.
