I literally got canceled because I posted about video about hiking up a mountain during a snowstorm in my state. Apparently we're not allowed to do that because we have to think about search and rescue and how they can get hurt if they ever need to come rescue you, like, nigga, if you don't wanna come rescue me then don't work for search and rescue. Stupid ass.
>>2859357At one point in time the punishment for attempted suicide was death.
>>2859298Nope, and never have been.>but muh all men are created equaland they cease being equal the moment they take their first breaths.
>>2859256I agree...there needs to be some kind of paperwork you can do that relieves S&R from having to look for you if you ever go "missing"...save a whole lot of tax payer dollars
>>2859764what exactly do you want our search and rescue heros to do if they dont go out and be the big hero and save the day? just lay them off or what?
>>2859766yup, go get a job with the coast guard...no ones entitled employment
Never heave anywhere without it.HOOORAH Support The Troops!Shart In Mart!O\
>>2858285are you retarded? empty squirt bottle weighs far less than full roll of toilet paper, and do i really have to explain this jezuus, you fill the squirt bottle with the water your carrying just before you shit then pour it out what you didnt use then go, holy fuck are people this retarded im actually mad you exist
Coin wipes. Compressed paper towel-like napkins. Soak in water and use. Tiny and packable, affordable and super handy. Mine were especially valued while trekking Annapurna
>>2858020Seems like a massive waste of space when they make compact alternatives
>>2859307I've used these, but be aware they're porous
does anybody else wash their ass with soap right after shitting each time?
how do you train for mountaneering hiking and backpacking and out in generali know the optimal way is to load weight on a backpack and walk uphill and down, increasing distance, elevation and weight progressivelybut i live in flat area and it's depressing to drive for 1 hour just to be on the same boring trail. anything closer is shit, i need to go up and down the same hill 10 times to get close to the total elevation i want, it's boring and depressing and people who i encounter think i'm stupidany other suggestions?
>>2857424oh and DO NOT DO HIIT. HIIT IS A WASTE OF TIME FOR ALL ENDURANCE SPORTS and can actually DETRAIN your endurance.
>>2853460This sounds like a great way to fuck your body up without ever setting foot on a mountain.I don't see why wouldn't you simply do cardio, get one of those hypoxic masks and get in a bulking diet to build hemoglobin (or move to high elevation and regularly train there), on top of doing core resistance exercise.If you walk around with useless weight on your body you will fuck up your knee cartilages and ankles, on top of bulging your spinal discs without seeing any benefit whatsoever.
>>2857411Then you should go to the gym and do your deadlifts to fix your weak back.
>>2853460>load weight on a backpack and walk uphill and downnice way to fuck up your back. rucksacks are a convenient way to carry lots of weight leaving the hands free, but they distribute the load unnaturally and will fuck you up over time. it's ok for short trips, but not for regular trainingmaybe using a weighted vest would be ok. the best is farmer walks
>>2853460Best way to do it is to do it
Any of you guys know where I can get a modern crye-style combat shirt in Erbsenmuster? Or Eichenlaubmuster.As a lesser consolation a modern jacket or parka would also be acceptable.
>>2859562I could call you soldier and it would still be military larp, because you aren't
>>2859591SS were paramilitaries.
>>2859663what does "para-" mean? near, beyond, abnormal...they were paramilitaries not militaries which means they were larpers
>>2859741So am I a larper or larping as a larper?
>>2859749what's the difference?if you larp as a larper you are still a larper
Sounds like he got him with that 2nd swinghttps://youtu.be/MLuTyVNPxJA
>>2859688that bear was never really charging.this is like cops shooting a guy because theyre nervous and lack training.
>>2859688Holy crap, I know that place. I was there in the fall. It's near Terchová in Slovakia, I live not far from there.I heard from people that the man got a 200€ fine for this, because in that national park it is illegal to enter outside the marked trails and you are not allowed to have a dog on the loose. He shouted at the dog "go home!" but the bear had cubs there and wanted to scare and drive away the dog and the man. Fag used bear spray and chopped the bear in the head with an axe. Sad, but that's how it goes.
>>2859703Well, that makes sense, actually
>>2859703People make fun of a draconian european judicial system but the american sentence would have been a much larger fine and could have even included jail time, especially because cubs were involved.
Are radiator or those big oil jugs good for storing gasoline temporarily for a day or two if you had to fill one up? I hear gasoline will soften and eat up certain plastic bottles. Who makes big bottles with a big cap opening to put a gasoline station fuel nozzle in it?
>>2857675>Asians are smart
>>2857650Depends on how much you're needing to store, but you really should just use purpose-made containers. They're cheap and significantly better than anything makeshift.
>>2857651Someone post the video of the chic pumping gas into a grocery bag.
>>2857676Protip:The cuck spout law only applies to motor vehicles (i.e. legally road cars).Marine applications are exempt and you can get normal gas cans at your local boat shop.But in reality you should be running race cans anyways.
DEF jugs work and theyre free. Check the caps the seal usually falls off when you open it probly to deter reuse.
any subcultures other than rock climbing that have a dirtbagging scene?
>>2858009Wrong.The carving depicts skiers. It is a White Sea Rock carving and was made before 2,000 BC. The experts disagree with you and the evidence they've discovered disagree with you.
>>2855194>They work at the resorts to get free passes.Back in the day called ski bums. Easy to spot on slope (worn gear) but always great skiers.
>>2858100The only two people that I've met that have done conservation work were both rich white women that just wandered aimlessly through life while their parents paid for everything. Dirtbagging isn't financially possible anymore.
>>2858151The ones i knew were brokies. Hike 30-60 miles inna woods for back breaking trail work months at a time. cold water washing and paid seasonal barely min wage. Best hope was to get hired year-round at USFS or National Parks but no way that was happening then or now. They just enjoy being /out/ or am I mistaken on dirtbagging?
Went to the diamond mine in arkansas. Tweeker camp. Mind blown. Better than copper poaching i guess.

>>2856751Touch grass retard
you don't, OP. everest is just a thinning point for moronic white guys with too much money for themselves.
>>2855415Yes its bullshit.There are no expeditions during winter.
Super soldier /afraid of loss and death. pick one
>EWG study: Eating one freshwater fish equals a month of drinking ‘forever chemicals’ waterSo am I just not supposed to eat fish anymore? What's the point of even fishing anymore?
>>2854649You got it. The people who made the non stick pans, got the boomers hookedon fossil fuels and make funny fire suppression systems are already working on a new product to sell to you, fish and meat out of a 3D printer!It will be free of all the shit they released into the environment and will only cost you the equivalent of 5 hours of the average wage.
Last summer I ate probably an average of 2 brook/brown/golden/whatever trout a week caught at backcountry lakes or creeks above 8000ft in the sierra nevada or great basin ranges. Is it over?
>>2854649Fake news. These studies use gas spectrometry. Burning certain fats can give off false signals of petroleum plastics. Many of the studies are now being proven to be incorrect. Microplastics is an invisible monster they use to sow fear.
>>2854649we been knew sis
Filter your fish
Land that conservation agencies refuse to allow to be open to the public outright should be turned into condos for millionaires instead.
>>2853939Trespass.
>>2854031So they can rape and then sacrifice children to Moloch.
>>2855491there's literally not enough concrete
>blocks your path
>>2859682hmm where did you get that photo
did you know that the colorado river doesn't reach the ocean anymore, and hasn't consistently since the 60sit all gets sucked up for irrigation and municipal water on arizona and mexicothere's just a dry delta in baja california where it once wasa similar fate has actually befallen a bunch of rivers in the southwest
>>2858865>because fire is natural we shouldnt stop it from burning towns down and peopleThe relevant point was that cheatgrass poses a fire risk to human life and property far greater than normal
>>2858887no dipshit. Cheat grass doesnt take over because fire is supressed, its takes over because grazing cattle doesnt mimic the foraging patterns of bison.
>>2858923Okay so reintroduce bison lmaoNo shit cattle aren;t a perfect stand in for millions of bison migrating across the continent but its better than nothing at all. Personally I want bison and wolves and cougars and bears all over the USA. that is how you fix the ecosystem. Whether or not a plant might be "invasive" should be the least of our worries
>>2858930people are tryinghttps://americanprairie.org/
>>2850992I mean you could just not live in the desert, and if you do don't spray water everywhere trying to green a desert, also California wastes a bunch of water on its' agriculture, fuck almonds no one even likes them they eat them because it's "superfood."
What bottles do you like the best for re-use when hiking/doing outdoors stuff?
>>2849579BASED. Use your shit until it breaks before buying a replacement.
>>2848373I got an all metal US Army style canteen because I'm a larping faggot that I definitely overpaid for but it makes me happy to use it. Plus it comes with a built in cup that has handles. I like it even if it makes me look autistic.
3 season:Cnoc bag for dirty water since it hooks right up to the filter.Smart water bottles (and now the M!Go HDPE one I got for xmas) x2.Gives me almost 3L of water carrying capacity, and the filter is nice since you can't accidentally spill while filling or back flushing.Winter:Same bag and filter. I store the filter inside my sleeping bag to keep it from freezing.Wide mouth nalgenes. Easier to pour water into if you boil it or melt snow. Lids easier to manipulate with gloves on.Bikepacking:2x1.5 liter nalgenes. I strap them to cages. Usually at least one smaller on the go bottle for easy drinking. Same filter set up.At least one smaller bottle or cup though since inevitably you find some water fountain or faucet the taller bottle doesn't fit under.
>>2850669It's pronounced "Nalgene."
>>2854321Couldn't you... just use unscented wax? Is there anything other than the scent that it's useful for?
What do you guys do for food on backpacking trips? I'm specifically soliciting advice on healthier prepared (as opposed to pre-packaged) meals that are filling but light on the digestive system, I am poor so can't afford freeze dried whatever, just need some recipes that won't make me shit my pants since I have IBS and am poor and retarded.
>>2859614https://andrewskurka.com/tag/backpacking-meal-recipes/
>>2859614I do mostly 2-4 nights out at a time and my food is usually some combo of:Breakfast:Granola or oatmeal.Dried fruitNutsInstant coffeeLunch:Parmesan cheesePeanut butterTortillas or bread depending on length of the tripProteins (see below)Refried beans pouch or similar shelf stable things. I found decent shelf stable tamales.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
post your climbed mountains maphere's mine
Just downloaded this app, I definitely forgot or just missed some. But I wouldn't say I'm a peakbagger really, maybe 1 in 5 hikes I do involve summiting a peak.
>>2859624For me, it's maybe 1 in every 10 outings and closer to 1/100 for serious peaks. I still consider myself a peakbagger, but it's not my primary /out/ identity
blue is climbed and red is unclimbed
it looks much more impressive if i only include munros kek (mountains over 3000ft)
How does this happen?Femanoid gets into an argument with a friend at a bar and storms out into a snowstorm with no coat or phone and dies. https://www.kake.com/home/missing-emporia-teacher-found-deceased-police-say/article_edb44dbf-62b6-4fc5-85f2-eed5fb1c62c2.htmlHow would you have survived /out/?
>>2859348No. You just have to be in your kid's life and make sure to smack her when she starts thinking dumb thots.
>>2859109>Wait what. That's not how that works. Are they really suggesting that a drunk overly-emotional woman had zero survival instincts?
>>2859108probably drunk bitch
>>2859508>pic>>2859544anybody have the screenshot about how "there's a reason why for thousands of years every society restricted women's freedom"?
