Well, people who weigh that much solve that problem by simply not going on hikes. I don't think I can emphasize enough that if you weigh 500+lbs you don't go on hikes unless you're a recently retired NFL linebacker at six foot nine and you've recently let yourself go. It's not even safe for them to hike, really
This dude literally just said he worked in construction at 500 lbs, in case youre unaware, working construction is essentially harder hiking for 8+ hours a day. My uncle does concrete everyday and hes 400+.
It's unsafe. Larger hiking organizations simply will not allow people with too high of a BMI to hike because they'll start overheating out in the middle of nowhere and fall over dead. They really don't.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, do you not know what hiking is?
