Because most people only hike the class 1/2s that are close to Denver and eschew the cool climbs in the rest of the state. Except for Longs; Jesus. I will never do Longs again because there are too many goddamned people in class 3 terrain that shouldn't loving be there.

People have hiked the AT in crocs. Unless you're hiking in extreme conditions or ignoring the 10 essentials completely there is no 'right' or 'wrong'. If it feels good out I'll go on weekend trips in cotton and wearing sneakers.

I didn't think hiking was such a heavily regulated sport. Different classes for terrain / trails? 10 essentials? I've never heard of any of this. I was under the impression that hiking was simply walking in the woods. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised that people take it super serious and sperg out about every aspect.

Carry water, food, shelter, etc. If I'm going to unfamiliar territory or planning on doing anything more than a planned <8 hour hike in familiar territory I'm carrying the full 10. It's stupid not to.

It's stupid not to. I agree, and the whole list is pretty much common sense. I'd just never heard any kind of codified name for "basic supplies in case something unexpected happens". Well, I suppose that might be called "basic survival kit". I'm surprised water, or at least some form of water treatment, didn't make the list. I mean, you can survive a few days lost in the wilderness without extra food. Good luck without water.

Honestly, I've found my iodine tabs to be much more helpful on long hikes/overnights than anything else. But yeah, water itself is self-explanatory

I think people who wear shoes like Vibrams, forget that shoes are supposed to protect your feet, and comfort is like, a secondary thing.

People wear them for the "health benefits" while running, which makes no sense if you're hiking which is specifically not a long-distance running sport

Vibram people think "barefoot=natural, and hiking=nature, so I clearly must wear my natural barefoot running shoes to scramble up lava rock." Pretty sure first early man who tried to climb that poo poo gave up and waited a few centuries until shoes got better. He probably would have taken modern hiking boots, too.
