>>2454476>>As I said here >>2454473 there's an argument to be made that this is the worst board on the entire website.So you're presenting us with an argument that there's too much arguing? Heh.
I would call all of this bickering "food for thought." It at least gets people (including me) thinking critically about their choices, questioning their assumptions, and maybe seeing from different viewpoints, rather than assuming HIKING BOOT BEST THING or TRAIL RUNNERS BAD BECAUSE VLOGGER USE or MUST HAVE $600 TENT or $600 TENT ONLY FOR REI FAGS.
So if your goal is to get definitive answers, as is often the case for outdoor newbies (absolutely nothing wrong with that), then yes, this is the worst board. But if your goal is distill something (possibly) useful from a mess of argument, which in my view is helpful to journeman or even master outdoorsmen who think they've had it all figured out for years, it can be good.
Real experts almost never agree with each other, and there are some experts here.
