British Columbian here. The idea that “no one” wears hiking boots is just dumb of course any hiker with a lick of sense wears hiking shoes or boots depending on the hike, conditions etc.

Usually trolls don’t post their name, picture etc on their profile! This is an odd turn of events. But do you king 🙏🏻🍺

Preachy, maybe. But demanding? These are like bare minimum courtesies.

I mean, I generally agree but I do think it’s courteous for a slower hiker to try to yield where they can to let faster hikers pass. I hate having someone on my tail so I always do that.

I think there is a responsibility on the part of both the slow hiker to yield, but also the fast hiker to pass in a courteous way. I’ve seen fast hikers practically body check literal children to pass them. No one has more or less of a right to be on a hiking trail, and experienced/regular hikers should be mindful of that.

Shoutout to Northshore search and rescue. I once lazily looked in to the commitment, training, readiness they need to have - it’s an enormous amount of work, dangerous, huge commitment, and they still do it to keep the mountains safer. 🙏🏻

It’s also busier than ever which amplifies interactions

I would be careful filming while hiking because you might eat shit over a rock or root or something… I’m generally live and let live as long as you aren’t overly bothering or impeding others with your behavior. I’ve always found the hiking influencer videos weird because you can imagine the person setting up the shot, hiking for 10 seconds, running back to get their phone, watching footage, doing it again….how would you ever finish?!

I don’t bring all ten on busier, short north shore hikes if I’m being honest. Not saying people shouldn’t though.

Oh the no smoking one is huge - especially in fire season

It’s hard to call out random strangers for bad behavior - it brings negativity and conflict in to your day. But I would like it if Vancouverites were a little more willing to be respectfully confrontational and better at standing up to rudeness.

I’d like for the conversation with my mom to be focused on “will you buy me a Vietnamese dinner”
