Ad-hom paired with anger. What the OP says about the cost of oil production, and by proxy, oil intensive lifestyles, is true.
Actually the OP sounds nothing like a hippy to me. Hippies don't typically own 4wd, 4 wheelers, boats, and campers. At least in my experience. Sounds more like a Republican. I didn't read any mention of weed, patchouli, the Grateful Dead, or organic vegetables.
Or his post could be sarcasm intended to illicit angry reactions. Who the hell knows?

Getting lost can be traumatic for the rest of us too. When we suddenly realize that we don't know where we are, urgent neural messages are exchanged between our prefrontal cortex, which struggles to form a coherent picture of what's happening, our amygdala, whose job is to hold on to a sense of where we are, and our hippocampus, which motivates us to get back to a place we know as quickly as we possibly can.
This strange bit of internal wiring explains why humans who are only slightly lost tend to trot off in a random direction and promptly become profoundly lost.
After these immediate biochemical reactions have run their course, we go through the usual stages of:
1. denial—"We are not lost! The ski lodge is just over the next ridge, or the next, or the next..."
2. anger—"We are wasting time! Shut up and keep trotting!"
3. bargaining—"The map must be wrong; either that or someone has dynamited the giant boulder that should be right there..."
4. depression—"We'll never get there! We're all going to die out here!" and
5. acceptance—"We are not lost; we are right here, wherever it is. We better find some shelter and start a campfire before it gets dark and cold."
Some people don't survive, some do; the difference in outcome turns out to have precious little to do with skill or training, and everything to do with motivation—the desire to survive no matter how much pain and discomfort that involves—and the mental flexibility to adjust one's mental map on the fly to fit the new reality, and to reach stage 5 quickly. Those who go on attempting to operate based on an outdated mental map tend to die in utter bewilderment.
