I've decided to hike by myself from now on, even if it kills me during these really cold winter months. I signed up for a guided hike last month just to get warmed up to the idea of hiking during winter and holy fuck, it was fucking horrible. All these fucking people hiking in a line like cattle. There was nothing exciting about it, if anything, it was really depressing. There was lots of boomers and ugly women, it felt like people use these sort of gatherings to socialize and make friends, it was depressing seeing them desperately trying to socialize and befriend one another, I'm never doing this again.
