You can have as much of nice gear as you want just dont be a snob about it.
>>2004633>hiking is inherently ego driventhere is an ego element in bushcraft as well like who can build the best shelter, who is more creative etc., not as much, but what I tried to say is that todays hikers are total douchenoozles compared to older school when it wasnt as trendy. There was more authenticity in those 1st Everest, North pole expedition while today it mostly about yuppie virtu signalling.
