we argue about every conceivable possibility of trail life, but at the end of the day, we're all passionate about our lives, both off and on the trail and thats good.but for some reason, sometimes things here get a little out of hand and some people take some criticism as if it were meant for them personally, when it isnt, and it leads to some bad blood.
keep in mind, folks, we come on line to both offer and get advice, and very few days go by that i dont learn something new here.but personal attakcs have become a bit more common of late, and i dont know whether its the heat or not, but it doesnt have to be. ive never had issues with people ive met on the trail, but it seems like we all have issues here and have forgotten the meaning of the overused term HYOH.
i like joking around , and sometimes its just a diversion from work.
so the answer to why i hike(another thread) for me is simple.
on the trail, i dont have to deal with a lot of the BS i read here.
and i cant wait to be away from this for a month(im sure some of you cant wait eithr.)
but cant we just all get along?
