Always an interesting response of “Go do your thing and stop being so judgmental and gatekeeping of this silly hobby.”
But yet you think it is completely fine to bring a mechanized vehicle into a traditionally two-footed pursuit. And YOU think that’s obviously fine, but some of us don’t agree. Some of us find these to be mechanical-advantage giving vehicles and inherently NOT the same silly hobby. Fun? Perhaps, but same sport? Obviously not.
Take your pretend ‘openness’ somehwere else. It’s a false flag on any hiking discussion. Because as I like to point out, I will bet anything you don’t want full on vehicles on your local trails. And why? Becasuse it’s a different sport, and you find that level of gatekeeping to be reasonable. You don’t disagree with limits, just limits on turning one sport into a different one.
