Yo Veeky Forums, you're the creatives around here.
If you were to take an interview for someone who's into hiking (mountains, deserts, islands, everything), and you had to come up with 4 questions that lend themselves to an interesting interview... what would you go for?
Jonathan Lewis
>how do you think Auschwitz ovens managed to burn human bodies two orders of magnitude faster than modern cremation ovens?
Charles Brooks
have there been any border crossing incidents
what's the highest you've been
what was your scariest experience
do you travel alone or with others
have you hiked the AT or el camino de santiago
have you ever been eaten by a mountain lion
what do you pack with you (breakdown by %: food, water, gear, clothing, camp eq)

Adam Roberts

Alexander Barnes
Have you ever masturbated to a voluptuous tree?
Ethan Wood
These fucking 12 year old, probably filthyfrank, pewdiepie fans.
Alexander Allen
How has these activities changed how you view the world?
What compels you to go out and do these activities?
What do you have to say to people who have never done any outdoor activities in their lives?
Have you ever been eaten by a mountain lion?
Nathaniel Gray
>how do you think Auschwitz ovens managed to burn holy shit, the ovens were sapient?!?! that explains so much.
Connor Gray
I'd advise you not to talk back to your elders.
Ayden Baker
>How has these activities changed how you view the world? Definitely gonna use this one
Thanks all for the help !!
Asher Reyes
That question presupposes that the activity itself has actually changed the world view of the interviewee.
It would be better to ask IF the activity has changed the world view and IF SO how.
Other wise you are answering the question for the person being interviewed. It is possible that thier world view changed before the activity and that change of world view led them into the activity and thier world view hasn't really changed much since then.
Dont assume so much. As an interviewer its better to let the other person tell you why they do something and how it has affected them, rather than insist to them that thier world view must have changed because you said so.
t. Worthless journalism minor.
Carter Peterson
Sounds reasonable. I'm sure it must've changed his worldview in some ways because he's been hiking for like 10 years and he loves it, but you're right that maybe it sounds off to a listener, so I should be more tactful
Kevin Barnes
What do you prefer more, being out there or being back in civilization?
Do you ever wonder what would happen if you were to die out there?
How is your relationship with your parents?
Have you ever had an extra terrestrial experience out there?
David Morgan
What do you feel you lose when coming out of the wilderness?
Where is the proper balance of accessibility and preservation?
When has nature made you feel most fragile?
What sight provoked the most emotion in your outings?
Jace Hughes
>Do you ever wonder what would happen if you were to die out there? That may be a bit too morbid but thanks user!!
Dayum how did you even come up with these? R u a genius
Alexander Brooks
Obviously not because I can't even pierce how many layers of irony you're on right now.
Camden Hall
Good start to the thread
Andrew Green
No, I was serious. I find all of them really good and I was wondering how you came up with them. Do they just come to you naturally or did you brainstorm somehow?
Brandon Barnes
DO you get horny on multiple day hikes and IF SO, how do you relieve yourself and do you clean it up?
For example.
Leo Williams
I think you can guess the age of someone by what they repudiate others with
Isaac Torres
my best frend got a nearly new yellow BMW 6 Series Convertible by working part time online... see this page.... www.smart-job5.com

Still skeptical but I'll take it as though you're being serious. I spend a good portion of my time /out/ (3 months each year or so). These are questions I've found people offer very personal and diverse answers to. Sometimes people go out for something that they can't bring back with them or find that what they most wanted from their time in nature quickly fades when coming back into society. Outdoor enthusiasts span a broad spectrum in their activities and you'll find that often their preferred activity will preclude them to a certain set of values for the accesability/preservation argument. I'm in Utah so a central figure in that debate that serves as "the line" is Edward Abbey and where you stand in relation to his views.
Logan Young
>Still skeptical Pls. If I saw an interview with these questions, the answers would have to be beyond exceptional such that at the end of the interview I wouldn't think back just "wow these were some damn good questions, lemme check who's the reporter." Maybe I don't know how to convey sincere compliments on Veeky Forums though
Many thanks for your explanation. Respect user

Veeky Forums culture loves to bait people by acting "astounded" at the quality of any writing to smash someone as soon as they express any ownership of their work.
