>>2708768Being outside is painful and hard.
Some gear compounds the pain tenfold by being shit, like bad shoes causing blisters, tents leaking when you are already cold, the head tube being the wrong length causing inflammation in your elbows or any other god damn thing.
You should be good at embracing pain to excel at outdoors but in your very nature you seek to minimize pain by obsessing about ways to avoid it.
Sure, if have not even been outside, there is little point in obsessing.
