>>478994It makes my skin crawl but it's close to home and the hours are very flexible and about as /out/ and /diy/ as a part time job (college student) can get.
I am of the "traditional outdoorsman" variety. Not a casual path walker but not hardcore ultralight week long hikes either. My family has an RV, but also dry car camp and backpack too. Whatever the situation calls for. I do a little bit of everything, but fly fishing and upland game hunting are by far and away my main pursuits.
I was raised by the type of guys you see on the cover of a 1950's Outdoor Life type magazine and on Winchester tin signs. The guy who wears jeans and carries a slip-joint knife and fly fishes and picks up his trash and build small fires because he's not a dumbass.
And this is how I see the rest of them:
>The liberal "nature lover"Wears all sorts of over-priced , name brand but still casual gear. The same stuff he/she wears around the college campus and at Starbucks. Carries a $40 water bottle. Only hikes a mile or two on heavily groomed/maintained state park trails (paths), rarely more than a half hour or so from town. Thinks every single animal is the cutest thing ever and spends more time taking pictures than actually admiring their surrounding. Throws a bitch fit over anyone carrying a gun in the woods. "omggg you're crazy/paranoid/racist/small penis! I've never seen a bear before in muh state park, therefore there is nothing to be afraid of in the woods and a gun is completely ridiculous and unnecessary"
>Drunken RedneckThey don't go fishing to catch fish, they go fishing to toss a line in the water and drink beer. They stay up all night blasting their shitty pop-country music and have dumb girlfriends that are constantly yelling "WOOOOOOOO" and "YEEAAAAHHHH". They build massive fires and leave trash everywhere.
>MexicansPretty much the same as the drunk rednecks, but with different music, and the women are notably fatter and less attractive.
