Plus +50 Jake....that is one of biggest problems I see on HNI. It is one of the biggest complaints we receive.
People with a vast wealth of outdoor knowledge who could very well lead the way but do nothing more than belittle. Yes people do need to make their own mistakes to move forward and learn but most times let them make new mistakes. If they don't like the words of advice presented to them just smile and wave then move on.
Just because it is not your cup of tea do take time to try and understand the other side before you hot on the wagon. Just because that is the way it was always done may not be the 'way' of the future. As we all know change is constant.
