    General Observations about the influx of people to the outdoor world

    My frustrations lie in people that think if they buy all the cool stuff that they immediately become an expert. In rock crawling for instance, they argue that if you don't have 42" tires you are a nobody. Hell I ran all the hardest trails in Colorado back in the day on 31's whey they were...

    Sometimes I think we've gone too far.

    I like it the simpler the better, but I married a city girl and my old bones don't like sleeping on the cold ground. I enjoy the designing and fabricating when I can't get away.
