At what distance can a hike be considered "long"?
>>28805897.4 miles with 847 ft elevation gain
>>2880589More than a days travel in and out I'd say
anything more than a quarter mile or 100 ft elevation gaint. fat
>>2880590that’s pretty flat for a 7 mile hike I would say. is a 2 mile hike long if it has 850 feet of elevation gain?
>>2880589Four hours or so for me but I'm a scrub.
>>2880589when you realize going back is going to be a hard ordeal
>>2880589When you have to pack a meal
>miles >ft
>>2880755You gave up your country for the metric system, how does it feel?
>>2880786you've blown up a spacecraft baceuse of the imperial system. how does it feel?
>>2880589It obviously depends on your fitness level. But I consider above 20km to be long.If it takes all day and your legs ache then it's long. But I have friends who that would be true of walking 4 miles on the flat.
If you have to stay overnight to get back to the trailhead. If you're dayhiking you're really just going for a walk. There's nothing wrong with that either.
>>2880589If you need to cook a meal during.
>>2880786kek, touch regolith son.
>>2880638Shit, I'm fat and go 3-4 miles with around 500ft gain starting from over 8k
>>2881113Imperial is inherently based, just the name alone "imperial" has more grandeur and status than chud "metric." Also, imperial is based in tradition and history, whereas metric was literally just made up by some self hating french libtards because the mention of God and Royalty made them seethe and cope.
>>2880647I took my two out of shape brothers on a hike where we climbed 3k ft over 2 miles and it gassed them even though it took less than two hours one way. Length doesn't mean difficulty, any mountain hiker knows that last quarter mile scramble can take longer than much of the rest of the distance
>>2880589it doesn't just depend on distance but i'd say longer than 5 hours at a moderate pace for a healthy adult
