My best boots look like those in OP image, cost about £10, 1980's british army boots. as comfy as my >£100 scarpas.

And if you aren't bushcrafting or getting connected to nature more than just standing in it, what's even the point of going out? You're just an inny.
There's two different levels and your shitty ultralight plastic "hike the trail" in your branded crap one is bullshit sight-seeing. It doesn't count as touching grass unless your bare skin touches something natural FOR A REASON.
e.g. I have to chop this firewood for warmth tonight or i will freeze to death.
or even as simply, i have to pick this bunch of grass to use to clean my pot out, and now i will sit on the grass and enjoy the sun while i eat what i just cooked, on that firewood.
OP is more of a real outdoorsman than all you whining faggots.
