And no offense intended, just don't understand.
So what do you ride that rids yourself of such guilt? Props if it's something renewable like a sustainable grown bamboo frame, I know they exist. And I'm very familiar with renewable and recycled materials in the building industry in North America and Europe.
In your eyes, where is the line drawn?
And to answer to you question, no, this North American truck/Heli shuttling trend is definitely not comparable to gondolas and trains in Europe. These trains and gondolas are there for dozens of years (and nothing new is built), they are not exclusive to pros and Kardashians, and these are fixed transportation. Also yurp doesn't have hardly accessible real backcountry (like you have), as we have roads and cities everywhere; so it might sound a bit more nonsense to euros than to North Americans
The heli-bike trip in this ad was just the one trip so the headline is misleading but for sure I can see the reactions and the reasons. Good solid discussion all-around. Quite unique for PB comments
