Well, OP actually is playing. It's a date -- she's not doing emergency rescue of wayward hikers. This conversation is so off the rails, even by DCUM standards.

The reason people are discouraged from wearing denim for backpacking and other serious outdoor endeavors is that if they get wet, they are useless -- they get heavy and it takes them forever to dry, risking hypothermia. When I did snow camping back in high school and college, we were actually encouraged to wear wool pants because they were warm and much easier to dry. That was back before a lot of the technical gear people have now. People who used to climb mountains back before the advent of technical gear wore a lot of wool.

Anyway, none of this is relevant AT ALL. I am a serious and experienced hiker, and I will wear jeans for a casual hike with my family if it feels weather appropriate and it's what I feel comfortable in that day. I also have hiking pants and leggings, and I'll wear those, too, just depends on the situation. [b]People who act like it's IMPOSSIBLE to hike without specific and expensive gear are just gatekeeping. You sound ridiculous.[/b][/quote]

OMG no one is saying it's impossible. But OP's going shopping for hiking clothes. Why should she buy jeans when she can buy clothes that are better for hiking?[/quote]
