This is something I deal with over and over in my foraging classes. People just don't understand what it's really like out in the wild. I tell them we'll be outside for four hours, walking on dirt trails, and they need to be wearing good walking shoes, bring plenty of water, and really consider their overall health. And every class I get 2-3 people that are woefully overweight, wearing flipflops, and bringing no water. It's extremely frustrating and quite scary.
