If they think that hiking around on a mountain range for one hour is hiking, THEY ARE LIARS.
If they think that hiking is walking around in the mall for 3 hours, THEY ARE LIARS.
If they think that hiking requires a lot of high tech gadgetry to go "check out the views" after walking uphill for 15 minutes. THEY ARE LIARS.
Real hiking is on very rough terrain for more than 5 hours. You get good quality hiking shoes (That $20 temporary usage boots is not going to cut it.. trust me.. Ask ModernRonin, spend $50-100)
Real hikers carry self defense material like pepper spray, emergency aid equipment, cb/cell phone (cb is more reliable) and lots of material on your back.
And Hiking is not even a real activity. You're just walking okay. Now running, bicycling.. those are real activities (if you do more than an hour)
