The over-technologization of being in nature.
Sometimes (especially when I lurk /out/ or read other forums) I got the feel, that lots of people cannot enjoy nature without several k$ worth of equipment. They buy tarps (c'mon, its just a fucking plastic tarpaulin) for 50 or more bucks, drag electronic shit into the woods and dress themselfes in super expensive outdoor clothing.
And if said clothing is not made of plastic ('xcuse me, but what else is Nylon etc?) its made from super expensive "outdoor nylon". (looking at you, G-1000 cotton guys)
I understand that modern people need their comfort also in the woods. But why the hell does everything have to be special outdoor? Are you guys so narrow minded that you cant think of further uses for "regular" stuff?
When I hike, I'm wearing jeans and regular leather workboots with wool socks from fucking Walmart. I never felt too hot or cold, I never needed my shit to dry within seconds and I never felt that I missed anything. Quite the opposite: I once wore my brothers Outdoor Jacket (from
>>833490 such a Nörth Smörebröd company) and it was pure crap. It felt shitty, it didnt keep me warm and after I sat at the fire, it was full of holes.
Its just nature, so why do we have to drag a shitton of non-natural, overexpensive bullcrap into nature to make it absolutely non-natural?
