What does spurn mean here
‘And she personified the concept of low-tech, ultralight hiking, spurning a tent and sleeping bag, carrying only a small sack and relying on her trusty Keds.’
What does spurn mean here ? Thank you!

Hi Zheng
To spurn means to reject, in a contemptuous manner. So in this paragraph, it has the following meaning: most people would use a tent and a sleeping bag, but the woman considers these items to be unnecessary to her, and almost ‘beneath her’. Hope that helps! :-)

spurning a tent and sleeping bag = rejecting a tent and sleeping bag.
