I’m at the end of a short camping trip; I’ve noticed during both my planning and travel that the “#getoutdoor” fad has significantly slowed down. Maybe it’s no longer the cool kids thing, maybe the economy, who knows? I reckon it’s just more space and solitude for me.
And for the record, @grubworm I’ve always enjoyed your sense of humor!

I’m so old I remember when “overlanding “ was just grabbing a tent and a sleeping bag a case of beer and a package of hotdogs and going in the woods for a few days .

a case of beer and a package of hotdogs

the good old days...you could get a 30 pack of Schaeffer beer and a pack of the red dyed Frank's both for under $10.

lol some people just don't like conversation if it consists of countering perspectives. It's not a personal attack, it's just offering another perspective.

ha! yeah, that used to be called being "argumentative and annoying" back in the day...

Life in a bubble sounds boring to me, and yeah I think I agree with the sentiment that logic doesn't exist anymore since it's been aged out. The internet has outgrown the "yep" circles.




Diversity of opinions is far more valuable in the quest for knowledge, understanding, and evolution.

I also dislike that during covid, so many people started going out camping in areas they shouldn't, making new paths where they shouldn't, leaving trash, and having trails or sections closed off as a result. Also a lot of good roads got washboarded to hell.
If they followed the rules like the rest of us, I wouldn't complain.

Near my place, there's a gorgeous trail, but been finding a ton of trash, and firepits in the middle of the trail. Made a little gatekeeper and that seemed to keep the compact cars out. Seen some thug type kids a few times there, drinking and smoking weed, leaving a lot of garbage, they were in a Honda and barely made it.
