I used to believe that the late Colin Fletcher literally “paved” the way to all this wilderness madness we are witnessing today. However, he respected the outdoors and would never have abused pur great natural wonders. But now I think the corporate suits took over the recreational industry just like the music industry. Sad really, especially if you remember how things once were.
A useful tool at best for something that started before he was born. One of Americas earlier “great heros” (master bull-**** artist) is more to blame for this and a number of other things. Too many around here have bought the propaganda on that subject so thats as far as I go on that subject.
