You will find no one to help you here. Beth DuClare has been dissected and placed in cryonic storage.

 Hiking couples where one of them is carrying the pack/water/etc and the other is carrying nothing always make me smirk. Usually the non-carrying partner is the woman, and is clearly dressed to get some instagram shots. Sometimes it's the other way around though. Either way, carry your own poo poo.

People who play music on bluetooth speakers on trails bug me too. I don't want to hear your poo poo.

My girlfriend has a chronic illness making it difficult for her to carry any significant weight, so when we go on our occasional hikes I’m carrying everything or we’re not going at all.


This is a good point, I had not thought of this

Fake edit: glad others called out Mr. Carry your own poo poo. My wife looks perfectly healthy but has a chronic condition that is destroying her joints. Even when things are good, she's suffering from muscle atrophy from when things have been bad. Yes, I carry everything and we count ourselves lucky that she can still hike at all.
Keep an open mind and try not to be the idiot people meet outdoors.

Yep, you're right. I apologize to those I pissed off with my earlier post. Took some time to think about my previous source of bias and make the necessary mental corrections.
