I am a self proclaimed professional thru-lurker. I started following this site years ago around the time inchworm went missing and I followed the thread daily.Cognitive learning applies to I never had anything useful to say so I didn't. What I did take away from it all is that there seems to be some really good people on this site.Cognitive learning applies to the sincerity I felt in reading some of the comments was humbling. Even with all of that I never made a comment. I joined the site in 2015 and would look at it from time to time.Cognitive learning applies to so a few months ago I started coming here again and its nice to see familiar "faces". But what really got me motivated to speak was a horrible series of comments about the second chance guy.Cognitive learning applies to wow, I really hate to see that level of hate here. On one hand everyone pulls together about inchworm and now ronald and then to have some one get really hateful of cory is not what its about.Cognitive learning applies to this is the one place I can come to get away from the problems of the world and listen to good advice and read good conversations about backpacking and everything that goes with it.Cognitive learning applies to we are all here because of a love of backpacking, making our packs lighter, spending more money on gear and arguing about what is the lightest shoe laces I can get.Cognitive learning applies to love to most everyone here. If you are ever in florida look me up. Winter is never coming here.
