>>2385776>If you go on more than one or two hiking trips a year it all blurs together after while.>It's nice to go back and look at pictures. I keep mine organized on a spare drive.This, once you go out frequently enough it's nice having something to look back on.
I started by taking pics to share with friends ("oh what'd you do this weekend") kind of thing. But later on realized it was nice just to have something to go back on ("oh yeah which mountains did i climb during my trips in summer of 2017" ).
>I don't believe the "I don't take pictures because I actually enjoy the outdoors" cope.I notice they tend to be three kinds of people:
>city people who recently took up hiking and have no noble idea that all hiking = "getting off the grid", so they get upset whenever they see someone else taking pictures and reminding them that they're not really in the wilderness>younger people who get dragged on trips by their family/friends and do the whole "geez mom why are you talking so many pics pls i want to go home already">edgy loners who have no friends or family to share pics with, so they get upset and think "pssht look at him he's so vain and shallow for taking pictures he must be addicted to instagram unlike me i'm a superior zen lone wolf outdoorsman" as a cope
