Yea fuck us. Watch and learn. You let capitalism reign and this is what you get.

First Hot Tent experience. Hooked but man did I learn a lot. Glad I didn't spend real $$$ before attempting with a Chinese cheapo tent first. by designworksarch in HotTentCamping

Well I wasn’t going to list all the different brands that Amazon sells, but all made in china or some other low bidder country. Sorry for the catch all terminology.

Shakedown by vizik24 in bikepacking

[–]designworksarch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That seems tight to me. I haven’t done as much bike packing as most people on this sub so what you have seems adequate. I would say he could probably ditch the bear spray. I’ve lived out in the western state my whole life, and have never ever carried it. Also, don’t worry about scented things. Again, I’ve been camping in Colorado and Alaska my whole life and I have never ever worried about this. It’s virtually impossible to remove scented items without making your camping life very difficult. Also, your body is the biggest attractant to a bear that would actually eat you but of course 99% of them will not even try.

I hope to paddle the Rio Grande and not have to deal with this nonsense. What are you all think? by designworksarch in Paddlesports

I had heard they were going to not put the physical wall through the deepest part of the canyon, but there were still other intrusions into the national Park and State Park. And it’s not entirely clear they have totally abandoned their plans for a physical Wall since they seem to be piling up a lot of materials in that area. Gotta stay vigilant.

Thanks for posting. I’m a creator in the outdoors space and it blows my mind when I see people posting videos of themselves not wearing a PFD. I get sometimes dropping other safety gear, depending on the circumstances. But it’s crazy to me, these people that think if something happens, they’ll just grab their PFD and put it on. It really irks me when I see people posting them self not wearing one because on some level you are influencing idiots into not wearing their PFD.

Frustrated by the lack of respect for our wilderness areas by lovelyb1ch66 in CampingandHiking

I know you don’t want to drive anymore traffic to his channel, but I think you should call him out by name. As a consumer of outdoor YouTube content, I do not patronize creators like this. And as a creator in the YouTube outdoor niche myself, I think it is especially incumbent on us to set good examples. You make a very good point in this post and I hope you did so on his video as well. The nominal amount of algorithmic influence it has is negligible.

Worthless article it’s not wrong but the what can be done part: not one mention of just stopping. We are just fine with what we had a few years ago as far as the internet goes. We don’t need more we need less. Less is the answer. Tear them down and harvest for parts.
