>>2466789This is absolutely the last place anyone should be asking for advice or listing to anyone. Most of these people really don’t go outdoors. That’s not hyperbole or me trying to be contrarian; it’s a factual statement.
Just look at the content. How many people are telling us about recent outings? It’s fucking pathetic. Ironically, there’s some gatekeeping about day hikes not being hardcore enough, but when there’s a thread specifically about recent stuff, it’s all day hikes (which don’t require any specific clothing and often don’t require packs).
Gear threads are just as lame, with military larpers always interjecting their Funko Pop tier collector item Alice packs and complaining about bright, vividly colored gear that has only existed in dated pictures for the last few decades. And don’t forget your shovel. And a hatchet, even though it’s not winter and you won’t need one until it’s snowing consistently. Here’s a Hilleberg tent designed for heavy snow loads that I’ve never used, never seen, can’t afford, is impractical for most of the year, but will be recommended by some faggots anyway.
