>>2443979>Why are you so mad about what other people do?This desire to carry freeze-dried food along on hikes (probably as part of an ultralight packout, all the rage these days) is an attempt at optimization that isn't necessary for what the people who use this board actually do outdoors.
You are casual-ass day hikers and weekend campers, simple as. It's a mental LARP, like dumbasses with Honda Civics who mod them with spoilers and imagine they're racers, for example.
Gear, accoutrements, buying products, shaving off every ounce, it's all bullshit. Know who you are and what you are. Stay grounded. You are not a special forces scout who actually needs freeze-dried food, just like that Walmart stockboy with a Honda Civic isn't someone who actually needs a spoiler.
