Hey, if it makes you feel better to pretend your some sort of superior sportsman because of the gear you choose to use, then bully for you.
I've run into your kind plenty of times, trying hard to cover for some deficiency by overcompensating. With men its usually characterized by demonstrations of how exceptionally manly they are, like how heavy of a bow they pull, pack they carry,distances they hike etc. We've had several here on the fire over the years, so don't feel too special..
Some guys have to use a fly road to catch trout, anything else is just barbaric and only practiced by cretins. Some guys have to use an expensive double and pedigreed dog to hunt the stupidest of game birds, because thats the only "right"way, and makes them feel like a sportsman. Then there's those guys who do it in whatever way strikes their fancy on that particular day, with nothing in mind but enjoying themselves. Generally they've been there and done that so many times that the thought of what someone else might think of it never occurs to them.
