1) yes

2) yes; I just did, in fact, while discussing an upcoming canoe-camping trip with the other camper.

Interestingly enough, the other camper did not know what I was talking about, and I had to explain.

3) I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, which is where I started hiking and camping, in the company of my parents, who grew up in the Netherlands. I'm not sure my parents used the "gorp" term; I think I may have picked that up from an outdoorsy friend who also grew up in the Pacific Northwest (specifically the Portland area). The camper who didn't know what I was talking about grew up on Long Island in New York; I'm not sure he's done much hiking and camping previously.
