[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is hiking some trendy fad with liberal yuppies? This couple was clearly very into it — to the point of risking their health/life for it. And just now NYT shared a story on their main social media accounts reviewing hiking boots.

What’s the allure? I’m not anti nature but hiking is pretty boring.[/quote]

Then don't go?

It just seems like a lot of performative posturing. Buying all this gear and boots ... to walk on a trail. Because you’re too cool and “ACTIVE” / “ADVENTUROUS” to just walk in your neighborhood for exercise?[/quote]

No, hiking isn't performative.  You're the only one there.

It's fine if it's not your thing.  Most people have their thing and don't like anything else.  But that doesn't mean those other people are wrong, they're just different people.

I posed a while back on this thread about hiking in a post-fire area.  Seeing the destruction and regrowth was fascinating, very different from the usual.  So I can see how this might have been an interesting hike, especially after the fire.  [/quote]
