Do people just quit their jobs to do these or is it mostly trustfund kids and retirees?

Yeah because only people with trust funds can save up a few thousand bucks.

It’s mostly recent college grads or kids who work for a year driving a forklift or waiting tables. And retirees, yes. How poor are you that you think $6k is a huge amount of wealth? Be honest.

I have more than that saved up currently. I'm more concerned with the fact that these people just then quit their jobs and have huge gaps on their resume. I find it painful to get new job and reclimb the ladder.

If you have the right degree and experience it's pretty easy to jump back into work at a similar level to where you left off.

Resume gaps aren't always a bad thing. If you quit your job so you could jack off and play vidya for a few months, then yeah you'll come across as a piece of shit who probably isn't a reliable candidate for hire. Took time off to support your family at home, hike the PCT, or support some sort of passion project? Bit of a different story. Shit, I recently hired a guy who was in prison for 15 years, and he's on track to be one of my top workers if he isn't already. In the interview he was very clear that he was in prison for a long time and was looking to get back on his feet.

Any company that gives HR the final say for new hires is not a company you would want to work for anyway. I supervise a department of 20ish people and all they do is set up interview times, maybe do a preliminary phone interview at most. They only cockblock me if I offer a starting pay outside of grade for that position.

Alternatively they will think "Wow this person has no attachment to his work and will just up and leave to do something completely else". Not that it matters since HR is mostly just AI that throws out any resumes that look bad.

That's pretty common nowadays especially in labor positions. If I'm hiring for physical labor, I want someone who has physical hobbies. Sports, hiking, whatever. Plus it's an opportunity to get to get to know each other and see if you're a good culture fit. I care a lot more about that anyway. Technical skills are easier to teach; soft skills like leadership or an affinity for teamwork and collaboration are much harder to develop in somebody because personalities are stubborn and resistant to change.
Depends on the position, though. I wouldn't hire a new logistics specialist just because he's a nice guy.

I'd rather climb to the top of a mountain than become a billionaire oligarch. But if you did want to become a billionaire oligarch, the most immediately profitable sector is energy.

Trading energy and energy derivatives, oil money. The intersection of energy and financial services. Oil trading houses mint new billionaires all the time, employees get huge bonuses, and reap immense profits on war.

Yes they usually quit their jobs.
Long trails aren’t just for trustfund kids and retirees, it’s for anyone who doesn’t have a mortgage or kids really.
I know a guy who works a blue collar job as a repair guy in the wind industry.
I think he basically works all off season traveling to wind farms and getting paid well, and then goes to hike long trails in the summer with that money.
I’m pretty sure he is a contractor, so he isn’t really quitting a job, he just doesn’t seek out a new contract until after he gets back.
Its not hard to save $7k and have plenty of money for your on trail expenses when you don’t have a house or car payment every month.

Depends. I married in my mid 20s, but she was employed and responsible and we didn't have kids. We split on good terms bc we're not spiteful crybabies and we gained equity for a few years on a house while together.

Contrast this to men who are attracted to and easily controlled by self-serving succubus women.

Ohhhhhhhh the ‘normal’ backpackers. I always get a giggle at what all these college kids are coming up with. It’s their fancy down quilts and $400 ‘ultralight’ tents that literally do the exact same thing as a Walmart tent, it’s just so much lighter cuz those kids are mostly just pussies underneath.

The only reason really need an ultralight tent for something like this is if you’re carrying a really large sniper rifle. I get that all the small decreases in weight “make a difference” but the reality is you don’t need most of the garbage that these kids are taking with them. Hence why I’d opt for a crua culla as ‘nearly’ my sole piece of gear even though it’s like 20 lbs. you don’t need, say, a stove cuz most of the food out there is forageable and perfectly fine to eat raw and theres plenty of ways to identify plants.

Campfires are also overrated, why go through the hassle of chopping down wood and carrying it, lighting it, all that bullshit when you can charge a thermoelectric heating mat as your campfire with a portable solar panel on your back that you sit and sleep on with a good wool blanket for warmth? Sure those 3 things are relatively heavy but all the things I’ve stated that I’d use are really easy to carry compared to a GIANT backpack full of expensive bullshit that you don’t need LOL XD

Shit like this they’d probably use always gives me a laugh, it’s literally just a sub par quilt and sleeping mat packaged together with some cute slogans to tickle the millennials balls a little while they waste their money which could be used for more innovative camping tech.

I'd love to do it one day, I really do, but knowing myself after like 10 days I'd say fuck this shit and want to return to normal life. I enjoy the outdoors, but like anything I enjoy, I do it in moderation so I don't end up burnt out on it. I limit my monthly trips to 1-2 times and only over the weekend. If I didn't have animals to take care of I'd go longer, but before my pets I was doing 3-4 day trips regularly. I think by day 3 if you are still off the grid it truly resets your mind and you feel your inner caveman come out. It's a wonderful feeling

Totally wrong.
Most thru hikers want to minimize weight and bulk, so would opt for a basic quilt and not take something like their sheet system.
I have their core bed for car camping, and there is nothing sub par about it, it just serves a different purpose from my 15 degree flex quilt.
I don’t have their mattress, but it’s pretty close in specs to others like the tensor
