I have found there is a direct correlation between the more expensive the outdoor gear the lower the outdoorsing abilities. It's also like when it's -32 out. You have a bunch of office dwellers running around in Canada goose jackets, mitts and Uggs. Meanwhile, the Native guy is rocking a jean jacket a pair of Adidas and he's changing a car battery with no gloves on.

Did the goretex jacket / hydration pack wearing people hurt you? Sure painting with a broad brush there.
You might be fine on your hike to Rawson Lake but there's a reason people don't wear a jean jacket and adidas in the bush and even though you're patting yourself on the back for finishing ahead of the group and having time to smoke, a 2-3hour hike is pretty much the beginner end of the "outdoorsy" spectrum.
I'm not going to gatekeep and say you need to go on big excursions to enjoy the mountains, but you scored a goal on the Timbits team and are acting like you know what it takes to win the Stanley Cup so maybe cool your jets a bit?
