How do you deal with normgrels who refuse to buy any proper gear to go on an actual hike after asking you to take them with you? I fucking hate these people, if you can't even bother with buying a decent pair of boots don't even ask.
>>2880033 tell them what equipment they need before they go with you, stop being autistic... people like OP genuinely believe you're not truly /out/ until you spend thousands of dollars on gear, but in reality the ultimate /out/ist are like hermits and homeless people
>>2880033>autist without a working theory of mind is upset that others can't read his thoughtsmany such cases.
>>2880033Did you try telling them what they would need instead of assuming they would know inherently?
Also why would you take noob hikers on a trip they'd need specialized equipment for?
>>2880041Gotta keep the death rates up or mountaineering loses clout
Those guys all seem finely dressed to me… what are they missing OP?
>>2880033how would you feel if you hadn't had breakfast this morning?
>>2880033>muh boooootsThis says enough about you, OP. You probably spend $2000 just to sleep in the forest 200m from a trail. I can go barefoot and it wouldnt even bother me.
>>2880112wow you're such a tough guycome back once you've gone full naked caveman without any clothes to show everyone who's boss
>>2880116I already do that every night with yo mama!!
>>2880035>ultimate /out/ist are like hermits and homeless peoplebased fuckboys should stick to car glamping at the designated spots
>>2880033What do you define as a decent pair of boots though OP. My gf was insistent on me buying a 400 buck pair of meindl shoes before she took me to the alps for the first time (Max 1700m+/- per day) and I refused. I used my bottom of the line Columbias cause I wanted to get rid of them and surprisingly I survived.
>>2880033I don't give a fuck what people wear when theyre hiking, but it is hilarious to see yuropeans wearing their slippers, capri pants and their little faggy purses.
>>2880033Try teaching them? If their interest is legitimate they'll listen. If not then yeah thry can fuck off.
>>2880033Gear wont stop people from being retards. I went on a out trip with a guy once for his first time and despite him bringing all this gear and over preparing, bringing even more than me, he managed to get such bad sun burn that he gave up and went home after a day and a half. He didn't know that if you're gonna spend all day in the sun, that you'll probably burn. Even more so at higher elevations.
>>2880033>bootsYou don't need boots to hike.Stop acting like a fucking woman. >>2880116Different anon, but I like to hike up mountain streams nude. The only thing you want are a pair of crocs or water shoes and some insect repellent to ward off the horseflies.
