Mollydog is right, most people don't get it at all. But most lifechanging or absorbing 'hobbies' out of the real mainstream like going for a round of golf are the same.
Don't even bother trying to 'suck them into the magic'. It just won't work. I've spent much of my life on the back of a horse (a lot of horses), and I have all the aches and pains to go with it, along with several now dead friends (RIP) and a paraplegic one to boot. There but for the grace of god and all that.....
My partner of the last 5 years doesn't get it at all (the horses) even though she's seen plenty of it. So if she can't get something 'unusual' having been in the middle of it after half a decade how can you expect workmates and lads in the pub to follow it.
Thankfully she does get the travel end to some extent.....
Just remember your only doing it for yourself, not posterity or anyone else and any sacrifices (and casualties) along the way are just a paart of it.
Equally you'll never fully understand their 9 to 5, 2.4 kids and a mortgage existance!! Now thats the real mystery to me
