I've had this for a few years now. Bamboo drop hammergot it after my old landyachtz was run over by an asshole who ran a stop sign, broke it in half. Luckily i jumped off just in time
i got given a task last week to write a 500 word essay for my geography a level but had work every fucking night and other homework, and as you do i just kept postponing it. well its due in the morning and i seen what 4chan can do with an english essay due in the morning so i was wondering if the people of /out/ could help. the essay is about: The role of geomorphic and marine processes in the formation of cliffs and wave cut platforms
>>1123163>its mostly planned out. they decide who winsI could never enjoy that Just seems so wrong
>>1123178its not about who winsI like watching guys get their ass beatsearch the Undertaker throws Mankind off Hell in a Celljust watching it gets your heart rate up

Pic related. You guys think my side yard has potential? The pic at the bottom is the look I'm going for. Any ideas as to what plants/trees I should put back there?
>>1122816So a small, shade tolerant tree in zone 9.....Maybe a fruit tree like a fig or something?
>>1122835I know this may not leave me with a lot of options, but I wanted to try and turn it into a small Japanese garden
Japanese white pine
>>1122616Check out Pinterest and stea- I mean get inspired by some ideas.
>>1122616Japanese maple is beautiful in summer and fall. Grows not so tall and really free of care.Japanese persimmon is also free of care and bears really big and pretty fruits. They are very sweet and delicious. You don't have to do anything. Just plant and wait for the November.If you love flowers, I recommend Japanese camellia. This tree needs occasional pruning but the flower is absolutely beautiful.
Anyone from NY know the best hiking trails? Thinking of exploring black bear mountain
>>1122254Queens
We just had this thread OP you ghetto chinese tour leading, cairn building, shrub stomping nigger. Idorts like you are the reason all the good trails are shutting down for the entirety of next year.https://archive.nyafuu.org/out/thread/1115751/#q1115751
>>1122274Was that so hard?
Breakneck Ridge is good but filled to the brim with niggers and tourists.If you're looking for something more involved, Mt. Marcy is a fun full-day or two-day hike.>pic related
Lots in the Adirondacks....literally thousands of miles of trail. Depends what you want...wildlife, historic remnants, great views? How in shape are you, how far will you drive, etc. Need more info. Pic semi related... Long Lake, ADKs.

>>1122277Digits don't lie, don't do it OP you fuck.
What in the world could posses you to break it?
>>1122308For this reason it's a good idea to bring a ladder to jump from, and weights to increase your mass.
That thing is racist as fuck. BRING IT DOWN!!!!
I want mushrooms but sadly I live in LA. Waiting for the first rain of the season which probably won't come for a while but anyone know any good spots around the LA area that they've found that consistently produces some good shrooms?
>>1122525>in LAWhy live?
>>1122525Shrooms or mushrooms? One of those you can order and grow at home
>>1122525Ask any high schooler. Last time I bought shrooms in LA it was from a high school kid.
Anyone here work in Landscape Architecture?What's your role and what's it like?
>>1116269Studying LA in the US right now. Senior year. Worked in a firm for an internship over the summer, did a lot of autocad and photoshop work and went out on some sites. Firm is a residential/commercial/institutional design office, only 5 employees.Job was okay, pretty boring but I was doing entry level work. However I do know that the owner made a lot of money from it. But, that's his own business and he's worked it out. Not everyone turns out like that, just depends how hungry you are I guess.I'll graduate, then I'll probably take the LARE and see what happens after that.
My gay uncle and his partner are landscape architects. From what I can tell, his main duties include telling Mexicans what to do and collecting fat stacks of cash.For a 2 man operation he is really raking it in. He also owns a backhoe and possibly a dumptruck.Looks pretty dope desu.
>>1122435shirley all that ivy is bad for them trees no?
>>1122442Not necessarily. Ivy is fine on trees so long as it isn't weighing them down.
I'm trying to learn all the plants in my area including invasive species but the grasses and grasslikes are kicking my ass. Is there a book or website that goes over the key differences between grass tribes? I live in Utah by the way.
here's anotherhttps://plants.usda.gov/java/noxious?rptType=State&statefips=49
yo dude, MS Plant Bio student here with a graminoid fetish. getting a handle on the tribes is a first great step to knowing your way around the Poaceae. a great book to start out with is Agnes Chase's First Book of Grasses (https://www.amazon.com/Agnes-Chases-First-Book-Grasses/dp/1560986565). I was where you were a few years ago and this lil book answered all my questions. local library may have a copy. it's been published since like 1930 because ya can't improve on it.graduate into Carex/Cyperaceae when you're done--that's tha real shit
At least in California we have Calflora maintained by one of the UCs. Not sure if your state has similar. We also have the California Native Plant Society for online and in person.Otherwise you could key things out with the Jepson Manual.
>>1120497M.S. Ecology here. It is a rare pleasure to hear another anon talk about that poaceae. I did my masters work on grassland biodiversity. Now Ive got visions of bouteloua and sorghastrum dancing through my head.
>>1122417I must say, my lawn is extremely biodiverse. If I were to allow it to grow up to maturity, I'd have wild salad greens to last all year; except winter. Though, I do harvest seeds and have fresh salad microgreens/sprouts indoors in winter. I think there's also 6-8 obviously different types of grass.After doing some pipeline work in my yard, some gas pipeline guys wanted to spread straw then seed with "tall" fescue, but I told them "no" since I already had Panicum anceps on hand, plus many wild salad green seeds saved up from plantago to stellaria. I wouldn't want to wreck my possible grazing farmland with tall fescue after all.

I am a guy from a tropical country living in Canada for almost two years. Last winter I was too scared do any hiking. But this summer I spent almost every opportunity I got in /out/ and I don't want to be cooped up for the six months of winter.Any advice from winterbros about hiking in Canadian Rockies in the winter and not dying? What gears do I need? Also for someone who never stepped on a ski, how easy is it to learn cross-country skiing? Can I learn by buying an old pair off kijiji and trying them on my own? Also winter hiking general. Post pretty pics and scary stories if you have them.
Winter hiking is fantastic. You'll want trekking poles and micro spikes for traction on widely used trails. If you're on less used trails you'll need to break trail yourself with snowshoes. Expedition height gaiters are also a good choice as they make snow trudging and postholing significantly more pleasant.
I can’t wait for winter this year, I love winter hiking. Did my first winter scrambling last year, pic related. Gonna go stay in a bothy in the middle of nowhere in December, hike by day then sit by the fire and read in the evenings.
My favorite camping is dispersed beach camping.Unfortunately its pretty hard to find so please share any locations you know about as well as any beach camping tips.This winter I plan on camping a bit in Texas then on to Sinaloa then take the ferry to Baja Sur.
>>1118162What is good in the winter?I am up for anything that tastes half way decent since I eat all I catch
>>1120088Redfish, black drum, whiteing, flounder, and blacktip are all good eating.
>>1117344Technically yes, but as long as you dont bring glass bottles, arnt acting like a drunk twat and dont litter you'll be fine. I usually get boxed wine and some solo cups.because it has minimal packaging. Usually I burn the cardboard and pack the bladder and cups out with me.
>>1120509That makes criminals out of normal people.Really corrosive to society.A well functioning society should have very few rules but strictly enforced
Any way we can steer this thread back to beach camping?
Who actually went? Post pics

>>1121748Then i just happened upon an old fire circle and cooked lunch
>>1120630The fuck is wrong with your finger man
>>1122029What? The skin peeling back from the thumbnail? That sometimes happens to me too, especially in dry weather.
Went out on Sunday. Not much of a hike, but I think the view was pretty af.
Do any of you listen to any podcasts? Either outdoor related or just want you listen to during the boring parts of your activity
>>1117354>>1117397listened to the craig demartino and just finished kevin landolt...both really great and made me not only want to get back to climbing but try and appreciate being healthy. thanks anon.

Hey /out/, Kinda new to this board but I think I have lurked long enough to make a thread. Anyways I was wondering what are some way one could get a job with the NFS/NPS prior to completing college or even afterward. I am currently going to begin volunteering but I live in LA and there are not a lot of options for people who are into forestry or the outdoors out of a handful of volunteer organizations. Is there somethin I Am missing or should I just move once I graduate, outside of this volunteer programs I would like to start getting my foot in the door.Also does anyone know good places to camp out near portland? I am going to be there for a week
call ranger stations and ask. They hire lots of seasonals.My understanding is that even the bottom-rung USFS jobs are a step up from entry level, so to speak. So it's helpful to have some relevant experience. Trail work with CCC or Americorps, maybe fighting fire for a private contractor, landscaping, something to do with OHVs or pack animals if the positions you're looking at involve those things, etc etc.
I've got a similar situation. Currently in college, I'd like to work in a National Park or firewatch just for a month or so during the summer, not interested in working for them fulltime but it's something I would love. Any way this is possible?
>>1122293Why would they hire someone who was only going to be there for a month when there are hundreds of people who would go for the entire 6 month seasonal? Also, it’s not like they can just up and hire someone right after you quit. The whole process can take like a month to 6 weeks, you’d be fucking them over for whatever project you were hired to do.
>>1122293yeah just a months isn't gonna happen. You gotta commit for AT LEAST 2 months to make it anyone's while.
>>1122270>They hire lots of seasonalsthis is exactly how most government workers start off. Get a seasonal position and make yourself indispensable.also helps to be a veteran disabled in combat that has a bachelors or better. Or some necessary industrial or law enforcement skills.
