You should get into extreme sports like mountain biking! All you need is a 10k$ bike, 2k$ worth of gear, a 3k$ bike rack and a whole lot of Patagonia clothes. Is adrenaline just a luxury item now? Why do we even bother with outdoor industry sports at this point? Is used equipment any good? Trustafarians unite.

@evilshaffer

This is obviously a Patagonia add paid for by 5g. Wake up sheeple.

@thorineichenschild4231

What was the point of this video

@TheShredShedMTB

“We’re going to spend thousands of borrowed dollars to do stuff we already do back home, in a slightly different place” is literally the most relatable line even spoken in this sport. Great video! Instant sub 🤘🏼

@elliot1811

I think we are being taught to "consume" the outdoors. It's not just the stuff, it feels empty to me a lot when the point is to see something pretty and "be happy."

@connormunson5448

Change the title to "outdoor sport snob explains why he's not like other outdoor snobs"

@alexandersprout7992

As a middle class American peasant. I approve of this message.

@SailingOutventure

Patagonia actually repaired my 8 year old jacket and replaced 3 zippers that were oxidized after i had the jacket with me on a sailboat trip and didn't clean it properly. No questions asked, took less than a week, they even paid for international shipping. It is pretty awesome.

@Ipsters

I think you just Patagonia’s yourself bro. I was hoping the closing statement would be that you can actually can find the same joy, including the good times and shared experiences with friends without the expense and logistics of the insta worthy missions. Beau Miles is a great advocate of this approach with a great RU-vid channel for anyone interested.

@Ryan_hey

What really makes things go over the top is that we all feel the need to buy the best gear out there, but most people will never need to mix-max enough to actually experience the value of that gear. A perfect example is someone who goes biking or skiing just a few times per year but has spent thousands on gear. Or the person who goes car camping, but has the all the lightest, coolest looking gear on the market. It's all way over the top.

@tylerismyname

MAN you're just too good. I really love the work you're doing. It's funny how even things like minimalism and going out into nature are packaged up and sold, when their origin was anti consumerism.

@alekboi4016

I have been living out of my 3000 dollar van with my second hand $300 hard tail and $500 surf board and have been traveling up down the country for last 8 moths, including gear, fuel, and everything I have spent $7000

@norcross411

This is SO well done, never seen your channel before this but this strikes an amazing balance of filmmaking, RU-vid-friendly content, humor, all while being thought provoking about consumerism

@nathanieldrew

It is hard for me to imagine life without this channel existing. It is just TOO good, I feel absolutely spoiled every time I sit down to watch your work. I don't even care about mountain biking, I've never gone, but I don't care, I got so much out of these 8 minutes and 2 seconds it's not even funny.

@David_a_journeyman_curmudgeon

You had me at the Fear and Loathing font.

@tommywalzer9051

I feel like "adrenaline sports" may be a different story, but most outdoor recreation does NOT require you to break the bank on gear. Many of the items I've had the longest are from Target, thrift stores, or other budget retailers. Marketing is a powerful thing.

@al-du6lb

I can completely relate to this. The thing is, I went through a phase when I decided all the useless activities I loved were basically meaningless and that was one of the most miserable times for me. Like you said, balance is key, and a lot of these activities can be done on the cheap. As I get older it's less about adrenaline or taking trips and more about escaping the monotony, the time outside to think and get exercise.

@cheynerobertson5590

Somehow stumbled across this video, and I'm hooked!

@zhuzhu_pet

If you’re destroying xtr components and sections of your frame “every time” you ride then you have to be doing something wrong. Raced enduro for 3 years and broke 3 chains, 1 derailleur, 1 disk, and a few tires.

@mapledonut7908

Mountain biking is how I have fun, and I would pay any price for the happiness it brings me.

@rutkettu

This is an excellent observation and communication of something I've not quite been able to put my finger on but have spent a lot of time thinking about! Great work, keep it up!
