Mutherfucker, nobody wants your bloated corpse washing up on the beach. Or for that matter, paddle boards. Let's just take kayaking and surfing, mash them together, and make a much more lame sport where I can look like a dorky gondola Jesus.

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.

somuch_gravy posted:bro you seriously ran into my friends. What was the rest of the story? Did all your friends die that day? One time, I was on day 5 of a 6 day hike. We had a hard go of it using snowshoes, and the kind of ultra-light techgear you would expect when 2 of the 3 people worked at REI. We ran into some yokels from Florida: a dad, son, and two cousins, all of which arrived at the airport from home earlier that morning, and were attacking the loop from the opposite direction. They set up their Coleman 8 person tent 15 feet from us while wearing sweatpants and tshirts. One of them was in tennis shoes. They got in a fight because the youngest son was supposed to bring a lighter, and it didn't work. It was their only fire source, to either light the Coleman tailgate style stove, or light a fire (despite the fact that Colorado was having wildfire problems, and it was a no burn zone.) One kid had a memory foam sleep pad. We gave them a book of matches and a lighter, told them about the giant snow crest they are going to have to climb up on top of the ridge, and privately encouraged Dad to go back and try an easier hike not far away. They thanked us, we went fishing and they made dinner, then Dad nearly fell out of a tree trying to climb far enough out on a limb to hang a bear bag, and they all went to bed. The next morning, we had breakfast and broke camp late because it was a short hike out. Only one kid was up, unsure of what to do by the time we left them. They had a hike ahead of them that took us 9 hours, and we went the easy way. We let the rangers at the station know how many there were, and which direction they were traveling. Always wondered what happened to those guys.

But seriously, go hiking with people who work at REI or your local outfitter. You get to field test equipment chosen by people who sell it for a living, and hear way more feedback than they'd ever want to know from customers.
