Not many will agree on that however.

I just enjoy walking outside. I don’t need to make it a contest in difficulty.
A more challenging route does lower the odds of encountering other people though which is a plus. Nice to have the solitude even if that means extra effort.
I beg to differ. I like to pick a treeline and just dive in, and I’ve had a ton of weird encounters. Like once I was walking through the woods, and I very suddenly came to a clearing… There were two dudes in their underwear and a single moped
I had so many questions… Like why didn’t you stash the moped closer to the trail? Or did you have your underwear on already, or did you hear me and scramble? Are your clothes in the moped saddlebags, or did you ride out like this?
I had no idea how to react, so I just gave a nod and nonchalantly walked between them like I was on a trail
I mean you see other people for a matter of seconds as you pass them on the trail, maybe give a head nod or a quite hello and keep going. Going out of your way to avoid this seems extreme behavior that probably means you need help.
Oh, it’s not about difficulty for me! If that was the impression I gave it was because I wasn’t awake yet.
I just feel more relaxed when there’s no set path.
Here. Take this shovel and come with me. Bring your Munsell book too.
Are… Are you the shovel?
I can be anything you want me to be for the right price…

Human trails or deer trails? Because my absolute favorite hiking experience was when a group of friends and I said ‘fuck it’ to the people trails and spent the day wandering the deer trails.
10/10, will do again
