>>2855121>>2855110palomar is great on paper but it's a bitch to do on anything thicker that 0.25mm and it's not that strongimproved uni (going twice into the eye) is betteri almost exclusively use uni and it's variations
>>2855122>0.25mmwouldn't know, anything over 17lb is braid for meknot strength is irrelevant, they are all perfectly fine if tied correctly and not burnt

In honor of Halloween, and we haven't talked about this guy in like a year, I'd like to get everyone to remember the tragic tale of James Kim, who got cuck-killed by his nagging white wife. Guy, his wife, and their daughters, age 4 and 7 mo finished Thanksgiving with family in Seattle, and decided to stay at a resort on the Oregon coast on the way back to San Francisco. He was television personality and audio reviewer for CNET. This was in late 2006, so before smartphones. They missed the turn to the main highway connecting interstate 5 with the Oregon coast, pulled into a gas station to ask directions, and fucked it up from there. The wife was nagging him to get home and it got dark and they ended up on logging roads that theoretically DO connect I-5 and the Oregon coast, but it was snowing heavily and they turned around, got lost, and gave up. He went to seek help and died frozen, and the wife and two daughter survived. The price a man pays for a hypergamous marriage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Kim
>>2854455does it actually connect the central valley and the coast like they wanted it to do, I mean if somehow they got through all the snow, could they have made it?
>>2854460The real story wasnt the road , it was the horrible wife. They would have lived and been rescued if she had not been such a see you next tuesday
>>2855031I'm always curious about "secret" ways to get places that connect very remote areas. I mean, that's the reason she married an Azn man. He got to be with someone of the better race, in exchange for having to be with someone bitchy and controlling.
>>2855032>I'm always curious about "secret" ways to get places that connect very remote areas.Move to northern or central Nevada.
>>2855040I know a secret way to your moms house in nevada
>decide to go to South Korea to hike the mountains>almost all of it is paved/planked pathways with guardrails that you just casually walk along>all slope has stairs (worst than going up normal slopes imo)Don't make this mistake, go to Japan or China or something instead for east Asian hiking
>>2854883>Mfers really out here bitching about getting to travel to exotic countries saying it was 'le bad' because you came across a le heckn path
>>2854883Did you not think to check that sort of shit before you went? Google could've told you most trails in Korea are paved.
>>2854883China is way worse, they have virtually no hiking or camping culture, "nature tourism" at least in Eastern China or if it's a popular enough spot in Western China will be artificial to the point that places feel more like a natural theme park than actual nature. Luckily unlike Korea China has plenty of amazing nature to spare, they can't get to all of it, especially in the western half. Pretty hard for foreigners to access western China though, especially for something like hiking and camping.Hiking is pretty popular in Korea though, it's sad that a lot of their most popular spots have excessive pavement but there's plenty of more natural areas and trails also. But it's not as pretty as Japan or Taiwan anyway.
>>2854883>>almost all of it is paved/planked pathways with guardrails that you just casually walk along>>all slope has stairs (worst than going up normal slopes imo)this sounds incredibly comfy and I hope America becomes this way more soon
ì just bought a couple acres in appalachia and am building a cabin so i dont have to be a rentoid. picrel is what ive done so far
Any updates? Did OP died?

Can you guys tell me where I can find high quality boots for hiking I have size U.S 14 and a half wide feet and everything I find is garbage and none of the stores around me carry my size I've been to four different stores I'm currently using boots from Amazon that are just trash and not even wide
>>2853172If your thread is still up when you decide tell us please. I am considering trying the Danner 600s but they are all fake leather.
I have flat feet so they are really wide, 6E. Normally I fit into a 10.5 shoe, but for boots I go up to size 13 to compensate, this works well.Best shoe's I've gotten over the years:Altra Torin 8 10.5 WideBest lightweight trail:Altra Lone Peak 8 10.5 WideBest Boot:Keen Revel IV 13 RegularIf you need the boot to be for cold climate, I'd recommend the high polar one, its taller and has more insulation. Has kept my feet warm in 0 degree weather this hunting season. They are waterproof as well.If you don't have really wide feet, maybe try the Revel IV. It goes up to size 15.
>>2853174Someone who else has a flat foot thank you>>2853173Will do
>>2853172Size US 15W here. Can confirm. Am on my second pair of Moab 3s, and they last about 1,000 miles.

I think the Cracow-Częstochowa Uplands in Poland are a bit underrated outing place
Tak
>>2854582>highest elevantion 480mboring, no thankshow are the carpathians, have you been there?
>>2854908I go to Carpathians or Sudetes every year which is less often than to Cracow-Częstochowa Uplands cause the Uplands are just 30 minutes of driving away from me while the closest part of Carpathians is over 2 hours away. I would say that if you want a challenging hike, every part of Carpathians will be better than the Uplands but only Tatra Mountains which are the highest part of Carpathians is really challenging. In terms of views only Tatra is better than the Uplands because the Uplands have lots of cool rocks and castles. Same with rock climbing, most of Carpathians aren't very rocky and Tatra is the only part of it that rock climbers love more than the Uplands. A small con of rock climbing in Tatra is that you need a climb registration in a shelter so they know where to find you if something goes wrong. Generally speaking Tatra is by far the coolest range in Poland but also the most crowded and nearby hotels are expensive.There are also Sudetes but I don't wanna pretend to be a sudete expert cause I've never been to Śnieżnik Massif or Rudawy Janowickie which seem pretty cool but I've been to some parts of Sudetes and Table Mountains are likely the most beautiful mountains in Poland other than Tatra cause they have cooler rock formations than the Uplands.Pic is photos I made in Carpathians this year. The top one is from Gorce Mountains (you can see Tatra far away) and the bottom one is from Tatra Mountains.
>>2854924thanks. i asked because i've been thinking of doing a trip to some of the cheaper, less crowded mountain ranges in europe (comparing to the alps), and the Tatra mountains looked really good. but the other options is the pyrenees which i think are just better, and they are much closer to me and there's still so much i would like to do there that it's hard to justify crossing half of europe by planeor those uplands, i'm sure i would have a great time there but again, doesn't make sense to go having many other options closer to me
>>2854925I've heard the Pirenees are like Tatra but bigger, better and more expensive. Also, if you don't like crowds, Slovakian Tatra would be better. Unfortunately climbing the highest peaks in Slovakian Tatra either requires a guide or a rock climbing loicence, both of which cost quite a lot. Personally I'm planning to go to Austria cause it has higher mountains than Poland and (hopefully) isn't as expensive as Switzerland.
It is established that isolation while /out/ leads to particular hallucinations like hearing your own name and the best thing to do is to ignore it. Do not acknowledge. I wonder if this is related to all the native cultures that say exactly the same thing about hearing your own name. Have any of you experienced this or had hallucinations?

Can I get some tips for my next outting? I'm fairly intermediate when it comes to bushcraft and survival, I've lived on the road and in the wilderness for five years but I'm in a period where I have a stipend and education affording me a place to live. I can a get job after this but if I do it'll be remote, down the road is where I belong as a person and it's the only place I've found with happiness and wonder still in life. This time I want to be well equipped without also being an easy target to get robbed with a bunch of expensive ultralight gear. I've got a 65 liter Martingtop, it's very nice besides feeling a little cramped, but it's also unassuming. I want to bring a tarp but I'm unsure if I should get a 10x10 or a 10x13, my goal is to have a little space around my 1 person tent or hammock that I can comfortably cook or sit out of the rain. I have a 13x13 right now that I was going to use if I get a vehicle, but it's easily too big for me to fit along with my clothing. I usually travel for years at a time out on the road, but somehow I still don't have a good idea of what I want or need when it comes to equipment and gear. I don't mind heavier loads full of extra shit if it means more comfort on the road, I walked without a break from Crescent City CA to Santa Rosa carrying a 45~ lb backpack with a broken waist strap and it really wasn't too bad. Maybe I'd rather go light weight though, and have just a light sleeping bag and a tarp and a bug net hammock. Does anyone have experience with both? My main enemies on the road so far have been bugs, rain, and humidity, so I'm mostly focused on preparing against those. Also this is a comfort thing for me, but I really hate shit being attached to the outside of my pack and prefer it all to pack in easily and be safe in the liner. Is this me being a retard, should I be maximizing the outside of my pack space as well?
>>2853344Anyone recommend a good back pack for fishing-camping combo? Don't necessarily need a pole holder just something where I can make adjustments to attach a pole to the side and room for two 6inch bait boxes. Looking for something that won't break the budget.Anyone have experience with this?
I have been hiking at a cool spot for the past few months because it has lots of animals. I usually see javalina, coyote, coatis, and like 20 different species of birds. Unfortunately yesterday I ran into a mountain lion on the trail. I thought it was a coati going up a tree but it was actually a damn lion. I looked it up and the area is apparently filled with them. Is bear spray enough to deter them or should I start bringing a gun instead?
>>2852831If it's a hobby you see yourself doing lots of, I'd recommend getting used to carrying a gun. This was my first year of hunting and I've heard so many stories of shit going south real fast. Huge dude climbing out of his tree stand had a cougar sprint at him as soon as he was on the ground. Dumped it with a quick shot and has the picture to prove it. On top of many stories from others about bears, bull and buck charges. Better off carrying. If you aren't hunting a short 12 gauge is cheap fast and sufficient.
I've caught dozens of mountain lions on my trail cams. I've heard them calling in the distance. I've never seen one IRL. I have a knife on me. But it's more for cutting through vines and thin branches than personal protection. I'm not at all concerned with encountering a mountain lion. You're 100x more likely to be injured in a vehicle accident than you are to encounter much less have be attacked by a mountain lion. Old picture, be the only one I have with myself for scale(reply)
>>2854791
>>2853425What an eccentric performance.
>>2853063>survivorship biasMountain Lions attack less than 10 people a year in all of North America. There's less than 30 deaths in over 100 years due to mountain lions.

Weather is starting to get cold and I wanted to get you guys opinion so I figured I'd get the wool general goingWhat's an acceptable blend in your guys experience for /out/ings? I'm looking at getting one of those L.L. Bean birdseye sweaters and it's 80 wool 20 Rayon. Will the rayon be detrimental at all? Anyone have experience?
>>2851471Ended up getting myself a pair of British army no.2 trousers. Advertised as 80% wool but seems the pair they sent is of an older pattern and made of 100% wool, so thats a win. Seem pretty comfy so far, and for only £14 I'm not too bothered about partaking in any sort of /out/ pursuit with them. Must be the absolute rock bottom price one can get a quality wool garment at really.
She came over and is testing the 9% wool shirts now. She says it's comfortable and hasn't broken out. We're in a hot kitchen and she's wearing it (long sleeves) and says she's not sweaty. I know 100% would be better, but at 25% the price I can get her four and that should get her through the winter. Allegedly she has a coat. It's a stupid situation, but she didn't ask for help and she's been cold and gotten sick. I had to do something. (There's a huge sub plot about repairing her relationship with her mother but this is bloggery enough already.)
>>2854745for the record anon, wool doesn't really make you sweat less, it just takes the sweat off your skini really recommend less clothing and more wool anyway if the moisture wicking is the main reason you're buying it, you can usually wash the stuff less than typical clothes, but im not sure with the whole sweat thingi think some synthetics are also good at moisture wicking but i forgot because i dont wear them lol
>>2854757It seems to be working and it turns out she has no actual coat so I bought her one. I was misled. I thought she couldn't wear one but that she didn't. Long story. I dropped $140 on her. She's better off now. Maybe she won't get sick so easily again.
>>2845577Just wear a soft merino shirt under it. Eventually you’ll get used to it and not even notice.
