>>572171I think it's more the fact that people in Europe don't invest in fucking expensive gear before they decide they enjoy the hobby.
All you americunts buy hundreds of dollars worth of packs, tents, sleeping bags, knives, and other gear before you've ever been camping just because you like the idea.
Then you realise you hate it, and sell all that crap for half price on Craigslist. That's not called being resourceful, that's called being a moron.
