>>877969>post about /out/ because it's their lifestyle and not a hobby.Eh; not everyone is going to be a "pro", or full-time outdoors guide.
Very few people are going to thru-hike AT, ride the TAT, climb Everest, compete in whatever sport at a national level, etc.
Get out however and however often you want.
And if you want to improve, make that happen. Find a coach/mentor, challenge/educate yourself, and most important... promote your sport. Get involved.
Even as active as I am in my various outdoor adventures, it's still a hobby for me; I couldn't do it if I didn't have income from my professional career.
>But instead it's 10 threads asking what knife should I get, 5 threads asking what backpack is best, 3 threads what boots are the best, 1 thread of actual /out/ content.Agreed, these threads are a cancer here. Add the youtube-celebrity circlejerking threads to that list too. Just hide them and move on.
