    Wait… So the fact that I walk 5 miles a day means that I go on a hike every day?

    I actually have a bias against the forest hikes. Had a gf that loved going on nature walks. I probably wouldn’t have hated them so much if smartphones had existed back then, but nope just flip phones.

    That means that of all the stuff on top, I don’t do gardening, or travelling… Mostly.

      I mean, a hike is really just a long walk. It often refers to long walks in the country or wilderness, but that isn’t a necessary component.

      That said, I don’t know if anyone has any real strict distance thresholds for a ‘hike’ (see: minimum 10 miles/16 km or something). I could maybe see adding a caveat that it should be for purely recreational purposes, rather than say walking to work or something.

      Fuck it - you’re an avid hiker IMO. Walks in nature are nice, don’t get me wrong, but I like all the hidden gems you can find hiking in an urban environment (I count graffiti, weird posters, dilapidated buildings/infrastructure, weird shit on the side of the road, etc.)
