>>2041994Lol i hiked the AT and PCT (pic not related) and had the time of my life. Every day i was out there was a gift and reward. I avoided people with those "embrace the suck and type 2 fun attitudes" like the plague.
>>2041195But we arent talking about firefighting, are we, dummy? You made a thread on thruhiking. If i want gear advice for being a hardworking gubmint wagie so i wont have to spend my 15 bucks an hour on a new backpack every three months, believe me i would ask you. Youre moaning about 40 mile days and say i cant carry 5 extra lbs, fucking hilarious. Honestly, i hope you take my derision and solidify your attachment to heavy gear so you dont focus on the fresh air, tasty spring water, and beautiful scenery. Your mind will come to think about how right I am. Then you will spend all your time rationalizing your shitty decisions. You wont have the desire for side trips adding an extra 4 miles to your day to smell the roses either.
This kid is going to have mental cope everytime he sees an ultralighter taking a nice afternoon nap, then get passed by him only to be seen in town as he arrives and the ultralighter leaves after taking a double zero, never to be seen again.
>Yeah, but I bet they could never be a firefighter, fuckin pussies
