Also to be clear NOTHING wrong with hiking. It's not about hiking per se.

My guess is that this grows out of American Transcendentalism - that enjoying nature in a particular way identifies you as a particular kind of “thinker”. (I also like hiking)

I have a constant pain in my feet right now, so I dislike walking even, but yes, the idea of a nice hike in an ideal world is appealing. I just don't like running out of food and water which seems to be some people's cup of tea. LMAO

There’s also the weird American frontier/survivalist mindset that you grow up with. Controlled deprivation is a virtue.

Yeah a lot of us grew up in the woods so it’s sort of a back to childhood exploration thing. I hate hiking tho, but I love camping

Well, it would be nice if it wasn't seen as a thing we all have to do. We don't do this where I am from.

Camping is better without the walking. Basically I like staring at a fire I built ... so I just bought a fire pit. I suppose fire is another thing white people like

Homo erectus used fire so I think we're good.
