Question about camping gear reviews losing their personal touch
I miss when gear tips came from friends around a campfire. Now, I scroll through endless websites full of shiny ads. Last year, I picked a sleeping pad based on top ratings, but it deflated fast. It feels like no one is giving real opinions anymore. Back then, a chat with another hiker meant more than any star system. I just want honest advice without all the noise. Maybe I should stick to swapping stories at the local outfitter.
