>>446610The alternative is to not view an activity in which you are carrying heavy weight on your back for miles across rough terrain through the lens of whether it's comfy or not. Activities like that aren't about being comfortable. They're about a wide range of other things that depend on the person, including, for example, exploration, exercise, the feeling of adventure, excitement, or fun. Do you look at a game of football and ask whether it's comfy or not? No, of course not. Asking such a question would be absurd. The goal of the activity is not strictly oriented to comfort. Yet, still, people will repeat this stupid campfire meme over and over, for any kind of outdoor activity, as if "comfyness" were the paramount factor of relevance for everything related to the outdoors.
