I realize that this is probably the wrong place to start this thread...but I participate in a lot of different outdoor and backpacking forums. With one exception, the rest of them seem to post about 10 times as much on gear and equipment as they do on actually getting out and hiking.

This site is different, and a deeply appreciate it. Yeah, we have this gear section, and it gets a lot of traffic. But there is so much more here.

Just a thank you to everyone here for focusing on what really matters: not the latest cuben fibre rain shell/backpack, but the joy of getting out and seeing stuff in the wild!
