Watch professional sports where over half of the participants are not white. LMAO
Interesting read. What differs majorly now from past collapses of civilization is the interconnection made possible with technology and the internet. Things will become less convenient, but there will probably always be someone to fill whatever void is created, baring a world wide disaster. But even then, with the technology available now, I struggle to envision a complete societal collapse. Will things change? Absolutely as it should. Is change uncomfortable ? Usually. Are we going to evolve into a Mad Max scenario? Time will tell. But I would hazard a guess of probably not.
Would be much easier than scrambling to hit the pause button anytime I see someone coming up on the trail.
Thanks! I often forget the technologies available today. I appreciate you.
Y’all act like volume adjustment isn’t a thing. Just traipsing through the forest at 100 volume. It’s totally possible to adjust the volume to a level that allows one some background ambiance while able to hear the world around you.
I will agree, open ear headphone would be nice on some trails.
Any suggest on good open ear headphones?
Unfortunately lots of people lack self awareness. I do honestly try my best to not be one of those people.
Hiking out in the backcountry of the Rocky Mountains having headphones in would be extremely unsafe. A city or busy trail absolutely, headphones all the way. Bear and predator country, 50 miles from any major form of civilization, I still want to be aware of my surroundings. I’m hiking on trails where I see maybe 10 groups of people over 3 days, and half of them are at the alpine lake or water source, not even on the trail.
I keep the volume to a reasonable personal level and pause any time people are within range. Try my best to be considerate.
I have several JBL speakers that are awesome. I listen to music and podcasts in the morning while I get ready. Bring it into the shower, carry it around the house, take it hiking. Can’t go wrong with a decent Bluetooth speaker.
Oh no, the leopards ate my face.
A bridge hammock is also recommended for side sleepers.
