It’s rare to really get away anymore.

I don't mind spending the afternoon at the lake or river. Bring some tubes and

Some of the greatest sights on earth are witnessed by hiking.

spugeddy24

I would rather chop off my legs than go on a hike.

TCuz

4/18/21 12:38pm

Knowing your hobbies that makes sense.

spugeddy24

That would be a waste of some perfectly good Lululemon sweat pants. Please don't

I get that. Not my cup of tea

I wasn’t a big hiker/camper growing up. Wife was and so we do a decent amount. I’ve grown to like it more.

Hiking is one of my life preservers. Quiet. Just you and nature. Great exercise.

Glad you enjoy it. Bores me to tears. I'd much rather hike 8 miles through a

I rarely see people on the trails I hike. Purposefully choose trails that aren’t

Tell us where it is and post your best photos complete with a geo-reference.

No, because then you’d know where my secret hiking spots are.

Sounds like a 1 on the scale. Did you answer 1 or 2? lol

bigbossbyu

4/18/21 1:15pm

I put 2. Like I said we go to the river all the time in the summer. It's great

LiveCoug

Good to know. Changed my answer to a 3. I feel you, don’t mind camping but don’t

I’m so outdoorsy — I wear Patagonia, the North Face and have a tattoo of pine trees. I think this makes me a 6.

Zach Morris

4/18/21 12:36pm

Good point. Maybe my Patagonia jackets move me from a 1 to a 2.

But is the back of your Subaru covered in bumper stickers?

bluelands

Just coexist ones

Aren’t those just the factory decals?

I bet your vehicle is the one with the rooftop tent in the office parking lot.

stenso

Do you have a suburu though?

shakavaka

Has to be a Subaru Outback...with a dog in the back.

I love hiking and seeing nature but would rather sleep inside.

This is me, 100%. Why sleep in less than ideal conditions when you have a

I love doing outdoor stuff but prefer to sleep inside. I don’t care for sleeping outside or in a tent.

I love climbing and hiking, but camping super sucks

Alpi Gusto

The toughest part about camping is putting up all of the gear every time.

Pangare

I put 3, because while I love being outdoors, I rarely actually go and spend time outdoors. Somehow, I need to change

dilbert

Exactly my reasoning. I love being outside, but the stuff I want to do outside

Same as many others. Fishing, hiking, stuff like that - good.

I can do one long campout or backpacking trip a year.

I voted 4. But I aspire to a 5

bluelands

Did the same. Would love to spend more time out there.

Live for it.

I love the outdoors, but it’s a lot harder to do where I live now.

I wish fewer people were outdoorsy. Too many people out there, makes it

There are too many people people out there. It doesn’t mean they are outdoorsy.

I golf. Swim in the pool and go out on the boat

There is nothing more therapeutic than sleeping 3 or 4 nights in the mountains

Superman21

4/18/21 1:49pm

I’d say you are a 4 or 5. 3 is for those who’d like to but don’t (in my opinion)

Powerbait DPM

4/18/21 1:51pm

With the scale, I’d classify a 5 as someone who lives off the land/off grid.

Superman21

4/18/21 4:18pm

Like to ski and golf. Haven’t camped in over 10 years. One 3 hour hike a year.

I'd hike every weekend if my kids didn’t ruin everything.

I'm between a 4 and a 5 on your scale.
