Quite the contrary; the most ill equipped folks on proper hikes over here are tourists, which often lead them to have to be rescued or other similarly embarrassing events.

Run this joke past the mountain rescue people, I’d say they’d find it hilarious!

Great. Though presumably the five year old is accompanied by at least one adult who is carrying suitable equipment for a hike. Bit different when you’re responsible for your own safety…

As a Finnish flatlander with a quite a bit of experience in hiking I have to say Norwegians have a different idea about what’s an easy hike in terms of verticality than we do 😀 When it says it’s a medium difficulty hike I expect that at some point I might be scaling some wet and slippery cliff on all fours…

On the other hand, hiking sticks on asphalt and flat road is stupid. I know you like hiking sticks, but it looks like an addiction.

Yep I used to go with flipflops now with sneekers. Using real hiking boots is like shooting sparrows with canons.
Exept you plan to hike trhough snow.
