Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I always wanted to do this, but what kept me from doing it is that you need a backpack with a water bottle, food, clean clothing, a raincoat.. or you need a crew to help you transport all that stuff. I wonder what option this guy selected…

Implying that walking a very long distance is somehow the purview of the privileged, is wild.

I hope you too can find the executive function, or tamp down the anxiety, or whatever it is you need, and one day can tackle a hill as tall as "need a backpack"...

Apparently you don’t walk much. I do. You need at least water. And a wallet to buy new shoes. And this guy would need a charger for his phone too. No, something is fishy.

On the contrary, I've even done it with a water bottle, food, clean clothing, a raincoat..
