I went out for an hour this afternoon and caught 5 fish on the river with my fly rod. River fishing has been a challenge for me and is a rarity, so this was fun. It is on my list as something to do more often. I was targeting carp and buffalo, following a friend's tip, but I didn't catch any. Instead, I caught 1 chub, 2 crappie, and 2 white bass. Can anyone help me identify the chub?
So fly fishing is just normal fishing but you have to whip the line a 10 times before casting? What's the point?
>>2855547you're not supposed to whip it that much, and the point if being able to use lure that have very little weight, so you can't throw it on a normal set up, you need a setup that throw the line itself insteadso different kind of lures, including floating ones to target surface feeders among other things
>>2855547you cast the line, not the luredon't need to whip the shit around more than like twice unless you are trying to get some crazy distance which isn't necessary
>>2855547ROFL....that's movie fly fishing, not real fly fishing. You don't have to back cast at all in many situations. If I pull out the entire 30ft weighted head of my fly line, I can roll cast the entire length plus the leader, no back cast necessary. I fish mostly small creeks with heavy cover. In many situations, I couldn't do a back cast if I wanted to. That said, as the other two said, you're casting the line, not he lure because the lure doesn't have enough weight to cast on it's own.

I have a pair of skis that I bought used 5 years ago. They’re kind of shitty but I’m debating on whether to hold on to them or not, because I’m a pretty casual skier and right now I’m more worried about the cost of new skis than performance on the slopes. I know they’re past the point of being guaranteed by the manufacturer or whatever. Will ski shops still wax and inspect my skis, or will they not touch them at all since they’re too old? Is it even safe to be skiing on old skis like that?
>>2855340>Will ski shops still wax and inspect my skisyes.>Is it even safe to be skiing on old skis like that?How old are they? if they are less than 20yrs old you should be fine. the bindings are more of a concern than the skiis if they are old too but the shop should be able to tell you if they are functional.
>>2853202They were racing A Basin to be first to open in the US
>>2855340>>2855343I've been wondering about something similar myself, but mine are more like 12 years old. They've only been out a few times though, I unexpectedly moved to somewhere with no skiing shortly after getting them and only just moved back to a place with mountains and real winter this year. Did some googling and it sounds like the skis themselves should be alright but the bindings are probably due for replacement, which isn't the worst thing because my feet have changed size so I need new boots anyway and the bindings would have to be remounted to fit them.

Land that conservation agencies refuse to allow to be open to the public outright should be turned into condos for millionaires instead.
>>2855482They should be drained and shipped off world and sold to the highest bidder. Then the ocean bed should be covered in concrete.
>>2853939Yes saar open the designated shitting forest saar.
>>2853942Information redundancy. It's like a library, museum, or graveyard. Information is stored there even if it's not in use.
In my state, the state and state-funded yet private conservation groups own land from which the public is barred. I know of multiple properties where this is the case.

>>2855442no, they just clearly didn't give a fuck about fixing anything and seemed totally detached from their workI think they just care about a steady job and if the forest is barely accessible and overcrowded they don't give a fuck and if you gave them more money to fix it they would find a way to pocket as much of that as possible you had this dedicated park/trail building era in the 1930s with the CCC and that all got abandoned, in many cases you still have various remnants of what they built - overlooks and roads and shelters but often left to crumble and get overgrown

What is the thinnest /out/ glove technology available today?
>>2846972https://ozerogloves.com/product/ozero-9002/Found these on a bike trail. They are my idea shittly done: wetsuit material (neoprene) but too thin. And like some are saying, sweat is a problem. I put some mickey mouse cotton gloves as liners, but somehow colder than cotton alone. Gonna end up making mittens put of ace back support brace....like mfers are playing piano in winter weather......WHERE THE FUCK ARE ALL THE MITTENS?https://ozerogloves.com/product/ozero-9002/
I did some research, and apparently those weird fucks up north use a mesh base layer. Maybe that plus latex over it solves the problem? The mesh should wick the moisture away, while the holes provide air isolation. The latex traps the air. All still very thin. Just needs some ultra-thin layer over this so it doesn't look like I work at Subways.
>>2854218Thats outdoor guy who's wife just got sick, that was the subject of his last vid. Someone finally had my idea. It doesn't wick shit. Its all about boundary layer. And windproof layer off the skin just traps air. Mesh allows that. Those polyester vapor protocol gauze coveralls they use in hospitals will boil your alive, but the are virtually nothing. Its also a other layer on scrubs. So just another layer, any layer, has air sticking to it as a fluid. All insulation is about trapping air (or a vacuum).
>>2854218>Son, I've seen the clothes you buy for your "hikes in the woods">Is there something you want to tell us?
>>2846972dont know if it's the thinnest, but i really like my pig fdt gloves.
what strange / spooky stuff have you seen?once when i was in the desert, there was a telephone pole, on it looked exactly like a 10ft tall bird of prey, just eyeing me downit was about a good 5min of walking, which felt like forever, just to see that it was a transformer that looked weird, none of the other poles had it eithersounds dumb, but it really did look exactly like a gigantic human sized hawk, and the "head" even seemed to follow you too, really interesting illusion, since it also hit all the primal parts of the brain that gone "you're about to be fucking eaten by a bird!!!!!!"a year or two later, when i was gonna take a picture, it was gone, which adds a strange air to "it was right there, i tell you!">inb4 go to /x/ for this shiti want real stories, not >i smelled the rotten shit fart gas, and my best friend was turned into a skinwalker, and then i pulled out that gun from videogame and blasted it, dude trust me

>>2802579There's a certain highway stretch in Newton County IN, that goes through a wildlife preserve dominated by dense conifers. that when the temp is very low and the time of night is so low in traffic that one's own headlights are the only substantial light, it feels as if one has a whole planet to oneself, if a spooky one. I'm not at all superstitious, but I found it pretty hair-raising going through that tunnel, and turning around with my headlights sweeping into that primordial looking site.
Mountain lions screeching in the distance, at varying distances, sometimes closer. And creatures getting close to the tent at night, likely racoons or whatever, but you can never be sure when it's outside and you're in.I hate those things. I never sleep good like that. I'm always imagining getting mauled by a bear, boar, cougar, etc.Want to get a camp security camera to set up (if such a thing exists), but that might just make me more paranoid desu.

Hopefully the millenary reich to come.Also people calling you of bot or automaton are naive irrational people larping as depressive poets, influenced by the meme of the young Werther, as if great figures of the European history were some dreaming faggots or something, while they actually were rational prosaic chads who were probably very insensible, very close to their self-interests.I'm pretty sure Napoléon wouldn't have died like a retard in Alaska because he didn't bring a map and refused others' help.

I use a fenix ARB L21 headlamp coupled with the acebeam E75 hand held torch. Both are rechargeable by USB-c and the batteries are interchangeable 21700. These two give me more light than I can use and make a great pair.What lights to do you carry?
>>2855190>Both out performed by random chinkshit from temu.I can get 10,000 lumens for 50 bucks off Amazon or ebay.Im not going to pay a hundred bucks for 1/10th the performance.I guess it was nice of you to help the CEO of Rei pay for that new Ferrari though.
>>2855379My HL60R still works after 10 years, still holds charge on the original battery and has been dropped and used in the rain and freezing temperatures more times than I can count, nothing on Temu can claim the same my cheapskate friend. That said, modern Fenix is pretty bad.

After a violent confrontation with police he fled into the Victorian High Country.What followed is a three month manhunt by 500 police, including 125 specialist tactical officers, 20 dog teams, six helicopters, an unknown number of thermal drones and in addition hundreds of military personnel. Despite the effort not so much as a footprint of the man was found.As the search past its first month the issue became obvious. This guy had four decades of experience in the area, his son calling it his second home. Friends recounted an obsession with bushcraft and a history of living offgrid in makeshift homes, old buses, sheds and caves. He knew the mineshafts were a safe comfortable place at night and as a prepper he was known to stash things in many a hidden place. As the hunt entered its 2nd month his connections to anti government groups were exposed and the police had to reconcile the fact he may be helped. With thermals completely failing, tactical officers were given the gruelling task of crawling through caves and mineshafts. With no success the Australian public began questioning what all this was costing. Independent media interviewed locals and suspicions were raised, how could such a well liked man kill for no reason? Why has the bodycam footage not been released? As the hunt entered its 3rd month half the units were sent home. Weeks of snow storms and dangerous conditions had crushed morale. The welfare toll was immense. Stories of psychological damage on officers. PTSD was diagnosed, this man, this ghost, he could have been behind any tree. Various theories were floated, suggestions that if the police couldn't find him then maybe he wasn't even there. And now there is but a skeleton crew, still searching, refusing to give up.
