How is everyone finding actually good hiking partners?
I cannot STAND hiking with other people.
I finally booked this hiking trip I’ve been looking forward to for months, and decided to invite a close friend of many years—though we have never hiked together. To make a long story short, she has basically been trying to “educate” me on proper hiking etiquette this entire time. To explain what I mean, just now we were deep in bear country. I started to clap every now and then when she asked me what I was doing. I explained I wanted to make noise to deter bears, and she just looked at me like I was stupid. She said, “Umm, I think you’re just attracting them”. She also tried to feed a chipmunk goldfish crackers then got annoyed when I stopped her.. I can go on. But the thing is this is pretty much ALWAYS how it goes when I invite someone hiking. (Especially with feeding wildlife! Omg!) I wish I could have a reliable hiking partner so I wouldn’t have to always go solo as a woman, but so far no luck! Sorry for this little rant. I love my friend to death and this is a minor issue, I just had to get it out somehow!
