Not being prepared is trending

Josh Hamill, a content creator focused on bushwalking safety, said he had noticed a culture online that glorified poor decision-making.

"Having an 'epic' is often seen as a viral moment worthy of sharing in a positive manner," he said.

"A recent example of this is the 'rawdogging' trend of having zero experience, no prior planning, yet doing the activity anyway.
