>>2453171>What, do you want them to quit their full time jobs to do nothing but dedicate their time to camp n shit?Ideally, yes, but not necessarily. I do wish they'd lurk more.
The people most qualified to have opinions about /out/ are people who go /out/ for a living: hunting, fishing, and wilderness guides, bush pilots, rangers and (some) park workers, arborists, field biologists/ecologists/geologists, and, dare I say it, military or paramilitary scouts/forward operators.
The /out/ists with the most and loudest opinions are weekenders, which is understandable since this is a website founded on Japanese cartoons and comic books, but a lot of them suffer from delusions of grandeur. It can be fucking annoying.
Anyone who has used his 7-9 consecutive days of vacation to at least hike a challenging route, camping each night along the way, or spent days tracking through the middle of nowhere (which I do all the time, largely because fly fishing in the remotest areas miles from any road is very satisfying to me) has graduated from weekender status.
And everyone with a full-time job is capable of doing these things. I work full-time as a CNC machinist and spend all of my excess cash on fishing gear.
Anyway, here's a pic I recently snapped.
