It really doesn’t matter how manly you are, how many mountains you have climbed, miles you have carried a backpack, or how many snow caves you have slept in. It doesn’t matter if you have planked off a 2000 ft high cliff, received wilderness first responder training, and never use shaving cream when shaving. Having once got a blister on your hand because you wanted to see how long you could hold it above a flame, and being certified to train Boy Scout rock-climbing instructors how to do their job isn’t even enough. The fact is, if you are a nerd then you are a nerd, and that is what people will know you as.
