If you're taking your Timberlands on such a trail you should probably stay home and play with your other hipster friends "who can look the most ruggedly handsome without ever having been on a trail."There are no hazardous paths, only hazardous clothing choices. Timberlands are amazing if you want to look all outdoors-y and lumbersexual in your local bar, they're not even close to the best shoes for hiking.If the mud gets that deep, bring hiking sticks and probe where you'll step. Wear wide shoes with a slight profile, walk ideally with your weight on your toes, and try to make faster, narrower, strides.You can also fashion some simple mudwalkers from paracord and some sticks, that's always a good idea if you don't know how the coming miles will be. Slip them on as needed.

Original Question: Why do they say that American houses are so poorly made?Some are. Some are not. The Building Codes differ from agency to agency, municipality to municipality, State to State.In Southern California, we build to higher standards than the overwhelming majority of the world. But, we build with materials that are less expensive for us, than would be where those materials are more rare. The US has about 3 million square kilometers of forested lands, and about two-thirds of that is timberland. That lends toward us having stick built homes.1580 Elizabeth St, Redlands, CA 92373 | MLS #EV20072210To give you an idea, England (the entire country) would fit over 15 times into that timberland. That means that England does not produce a large amount of wood (why am I hearing teeters?) in comparison Instead, they build out of stone or brick for the majority of homes. Those materials are prevalent. Those materials are cheap.Which brings up a point. All middle class housing builders will build as cheaply as they can to fulfill the need. This maximizes profits, obviously. High class builders are constructing an experience and a reputation. They spend thousands more per square meter than do the mass builders. It’s a spectrum.But the point of your question is not with basic supply chain or brief capitalistic asides. I believe your question comes to experience. Why do you feel better walking through a stone house in Europe, when compared to a stick built home in, say, San Francisco?32 Avenue Rd, Malvern, EnglandIt could be the comfort. Stone interior walls tend to be substantially thicker than the 2x4 studs that create partitions in the US. This provides less outside noises, controls the ambient temperature, gives a feeling of security. You are set away from the outside world, not to be bothered by the sounds of traffic, or a neighbor’s dog. It allows you to be away from anything or anyone you want to be away from.I used to live in a condo. My neighbor would tend to get drunk and yell at his wife and live in mother. I could hear it very easily. I would bang on our shared walls and yell at him, knowing he could hear me very easily. He would stop for some weeks, before we danced the same dance again. I hated that condo. But, in an earthquake, the lights swayed and some books fell off the case — but no damage. I could hear the building flex. The doorways were a little tight for a few days, but all seemed to be okay. I saw an earthquake in Italy a full magnitude smaller occur. The results were broken buildings and collapsed floors.Yes, the stone buildings are more comfortable, but they really do not make sense when the ground is ever moving. Nor can I afford to build out of materials that are not prevalent, not common, and do not meet the strict code required for occupancy.Having said all that, we should address the fallacy of generalization. All houses in the States are not created equal. I walked through a home last week that will be sold for around $5 million. The walls were solid, thick, and the finishing were immaculate. I also dropped by my childhood home a few months ago. The 900 sf space was built with 2x4 outer walls, and the gaps between the floor and the door let in a breeze (I only expect, as I did not impose myself on the current owner). There are worse homes. There are better homes. This is true of every country. But, if you drop by, I’m sure there will be a house you can call a home.My old home.
