Rough & short translation of the texts:
Alarmism: the practice of hiking only in places where you can see the stigma of climate change, so that you can write about it on social networks and raise awareness.
Capitellisme: the practice of rereading the capital in a capitelle. These little dry-stone farmhouses in the middle of nowhere in southern France stay surprisingly cool in summer. An ideal place to reflect on the ruin of the capitalist.
Escapism: the practice of leaving a town on foot or by bike and stopping when you feel you’ve reached the wilderness.
Humism: the practice of letting your nose guide you by following the best natural scents. More pleasant in spring.
Disparitionism: the practice of carrying out outdoor activities only within the limits of the last white zones on the European continent, so as to be
sure of not being disturbed during this time of disconnection. A variant is simply not to set off with a mobile phone.
Mancellisme: the practice of climbing the highest point in the Alpes Mancelles, a natural region, whose highest point is 229 metres.
Moufflonism: this is an expedition to a remote region to observe a forgotten species that you are unlikely to see, such as the mouflon of the Caroux massif.
Nocturnism: the practice of hiking near an isolated house in the forest whose surroundings you have spotted on a moonless, pitch-black night.
Pastoralism: simply taking the sheep tracks as your itinerary. It allows you to think like a sheep when you feel too human.
Stevensonism: the practice of hiking with a donkey.
