Thread 2833176

Wtf /out/, I thought normalfags would go back to their urban shitholes after the coof was over.

>>2833176 (OP)
Yeah, we know. The /out/doors have been a mess since COVID. People still desperately cling to the claim that going off trail or going on a long trail solves this issue, but in the US, post-COVID, it just isnt true. National Parks are being overrun, local spots are being overrun, there is litter everywhere, and parking spaces are a joke. COVID was a fucking disaster for /out/. The lockdown convinced everybody that they were an outdoorsman and need to be outside 24/7.

kek.

>>2833191
Try again.

>>2833177
At least zoomers don't really give a fuck. So in a few generations the problem with solve itself

>>2833177

Just go wander around on BLM land. Assuming you live in the west.

kek

>>2833208
You're desperately swinging, but you just... keep missing.

>be swede
>have 80% forest coverage
>no need for a trail
>total seclusion
it feels so good knowing how easy it is to not run into those overcrowded husks

>>2833176 (OP)
A-are those black people outside of an urban environment? I'm LOSING MY FUCKING MIIIIIIIND

>>2833241
Never seen one.

>>2833177
>it just isnt true
It’s objectively true. Everyone noticed that the front country was crowded while the back country remained isolated. Way to out yourself, faggot.

>>2833221
He’s right. You don’t live in the national park you mentioned.

>>2833260
He's right. You don't go outside.

>>2833241
>black
>people

>>2833265
Why is it I can go to a national park during peak season and barely see anyone but you faggots keep insisting the entirety of the woods is just crawling with people?

>>2833281
You're on nu-/out/, my guy. Humble yourself.

>>2833196
Yeah until they start hitting mid life crises's in 10 year's. Becoming quasi health concious bullshit

>>2833281
most people here just do the same things they accuse normalfags of doing (i.e. crowding trailheads and never going more than a mile down the trail)

>>2833177
>People still desperately cling to the claim that going off trail or going on a long trail solves this issue
In most places, the only time you might ever see anyone off-trail is during hunting season

Hiking and campground camping went up and had stayed up, but things like backpacking did have a crest of a wave. Lots of people tried it, went on a trip or two, and stopped

>>2833176 (OP)
Ya cuz people realized that spending your entire life inside is a joke and want to get out more. If you are actually dedicated enough to do anything overnight and far enough away you'll be fine and not have to deal with them. You are outing yourself as lazy
>>2833196
You guys will really just say anything and attribute it to zoomers huh

>>2833317
It didn't crest. When I worked at the 'pop last year inexperienced were still buying backpacking gear on a weekly basis. we took advantage of that

>>2833317
>Lots of people tried it, went on a trip or two, and stopped
kek I hated my first trip too. didn't realize it'd be so physically grueling. then a couple weeks later I wanted to go again

>>2833347
Yosemite wilderness permits on downward trend the past few years, and these past few years havent had as many fires stopping people from going out

>>2833281
>bears killing humans
>garbage kills bears
surely the solution is obvious

>>2833504
>lemme tell you why your work experience is wrong
Lol
Lmao even

>>2833666
I believe the data he posted more than your narrow sighted anecdote.
>people buying backpacking gear at places other than REI
>in person
What is this, the 90’s?

>>2833177
Lmao fag You literally dont go /out/. I was in Acadia and Smoky Mountain National Park, the two most crowded parks in the US, and did hiking and fishing in near total seclusion. Try leaving the parking lot, better yet don't and leave the real nature to me

>>2833281
Vast majority of people here are larpers who don't go more than a mile from a paved road, at best they'll do a highly rated day hike they found on Alltrails. They didn't grow up going out and don't have friends or talk to people in real life so all the hikes and spots they find are ones that have been blown up online

>>2833176 (OP)
>people go outside
>realize it's actually really nice and the US is full of amazing wilderness
>they continue to go outside
Wow!

>>2833797
>they continue to go outside
Lemme stop ya right there
