OP goes on a hiking trip with an unprepared friend

OP goes on a hiking trip with a friend who turns out to have no backpacking experience. The friend brings excessive and unnecessary items, has difficulty carrying her pack, and causes delays during the hike. OP expresses frustration and the friend sends a long email in response. OP wonders if they are the asshole for not considering the friend's feelings, but ultimately it is clear that the friend was unprepared and did not communicate honestly about her abilities and experience.
