>>2801147then dont complains anon
>>2801336No.

>>2801345Why are the only naked ones the ones that aren't worth seeing.
>>2801346right is a cutie
You went outside this year didn't you anon?
>>2795764>Gear commitmentNah, fuck that noise.
My god the amount of excuses in this thread. It's actually disgusted me so much to the point of motivating me to go /out/side more.
>>2799676>desperately necrobumping the thread hoping for (You)s >>2799682>>2799911Don't encourage the faggoty behavior.
>>2801066Going outdoors is more important than any relationship.
I go through hiking boots quickly, typically I just deal with the smooth ruined sole and slip and slide. I'd like to get a pair of something resolable, which lead me to Jim Green leather boots. Anyone hike in leather boots? I don't live in terrible heat nor do I wade through rivers. Thinking a single lined leather boot is going to serve me well in the long term.
All in all ameris obsess about boots because they were marketed boots. So they buy boots. IRL boots are shit for non-snow and nobody wore them until recently, like 1600s, and they were either a fashion item or for riding, not for walking.
>>2787990lmao at retards switching to plastic>no bro nothing happened this year!enjoy having the boots fused to your skin, you will never be able to step into the fire like i can, and i wear them every single day for work you weak little faggot
>>2801182imagine being this poor and stupid and out of shape
>>2801078i have no idea, i think he wants to like bike in them too, i have no idea why he doesn't like it but i think im too autistic to press him about it without coming off as annoying or aggressive, maybe biking needs low top sneakers?
>>2800656honestly with a lot of serious outdoor stuff in like shit terrain and that sort of high alpine climbing i do see a lot of benefit in a rigid boot that doesnt even need to have much comforti guess im a bit of a fake /out/ user because i do want my gear to look "cool" but i just cant deny that a proper leather boot looks much cooler than some synthetic shitbut yeah i also dont want to spend 500€+ on a poser leather boot that ends up performing like shit and molding after it gets wet
I'll be spending a week in Vermont this September or October.Give me the best spots and trails to hit up, I will not be paying for a hotel. Thinking about hitting Green Mountain National Forest and Lake Willoughby at least, thinking about Smuggler's Notch and Mount Mansfield as well.t. am a leafcuck
>>2800571>given the population density
>>2800676I actually think northern Maine and the Adirondacks are the two easiest places to get lost and die in the wilderness in the lower 48.
>>2800721>larpers unironically believe this
>>2800143Come down to Windsor. You can come to Harpoon Brewery. It's super comfy and within a few miles of several trails and a boat launch. Very much recommended.
I was recommended Hill Farmstead Brewery too. Will aim to check out at least one brew pub a day and then fuck off to the wild.As a Cancuck, I intend to just roll up to a general area and explore until I find a good place near water to pitch a tent. Obviously as long as I'm not on private land, I assume no one will give a fuck? Don't mind pitching at a state park-ing lot here and there if fees are reasonable, but not trying to be pitching a few metres away from screwing families.Will have my car as well so not opposed to parking nearby, but definitely would like to wander a few hours into a forest.
This is just sad
>>27901673DPD.>>2790178>>27907432D OPUS.
>>2790167Every single individual in this thread sucks massive dick, just want yall to know that no matter what side you're on that your just a massive dick sucking faggot.This can't be argued against either.
>>2799852I've literally never sucked a dick of any size.
>>2799905We know you secretly aspire to.
>>2799849False. That's not a thing in the Appalachians. You live in NYC.
It's been almost a year since the last climbing thread on /out/ died. The thread on /xs/ is overwhelmingly focused on gym climbing, so I'm making this attempt to revive the general. Help out by sharing trip reports, photos, advice, etc.A place to talk about outdoor climbing in any aspect (trad, sport, bouldering, aid, alpine, etc).Rock Climbing is a dangerous sport that can cause loss of life, limb, eyesight, or sanity.Off-belay:https://archived.moe/out/thread/2610900https://archived.moe/out/thread/2537031https://archived.moe/out/thread/2495558/xs/ thread:>>>/xs/196297Adam Ondra sends world's hardest trad route Bon Voyage: https://youtu.be/ji4At78H5Ys
>>2799092Trad climbing doesn't make sense as a solo activity. Who sets the ropes?
>>2799093Well, sure. I guess what I meant is do I need find a "mentor" who will teach me, or can me and another relatively inexperienced climber self-teach?
>>2799092>>2799094I self-taught up to trad/multipitch and then paid for a guided course, which I thought was well worth it.If you're going to self-teach, don't just watch some YouTube videos and then start climbing trad routes before you've learned to trust your placements. Eventually you'll find yourself in a position where you have to fall on gear for the first time and you'll be cursing every decision that lead you to that moment.In order to trust your placements you need to be testing them. Get on a mock lead and test every piece. Go in direct with a personal anchor and bounce on it. Experiment with different placements until you get it to pop. Learn the limits. This type of practice builds actual experience, as opposed to just climbing a bunch of easy trad routes and never falling, which teaches you nothing and only builds false confidence.
>>2799101Cool, that makes a lot of sense. I was thinking about starting off with a set of passive pro and saving the (expensive) fancy active stuff for when I know what I'm doing. Nuts, hexes, and maybe a couple tri-cams. I'm going to do this, thanks anon.
One good thing about climbing solo is you can make a project out of funky shit that no one else wants to bother with.>>2799288>and maybe a couple tri-camsPink tricams are surprising useful.
>>2767272Did you get to hike/see any of the effects of the flooding recently?
>>2780007>>2780007>Do you see?
2025 is the last year in my camera date/time settings. After 2025 is 2006 again.
>>2800969Nice winter landscape, I hope winter will make a comeback here

There are objectively the best 10 /out/ states in the nation. You can't beat the richness of the forests and the changing colors and textures and flowers of the seasons. And the plunging gorges and raging rivers. They have everything. Plus the people are friendly and accommodating and not snooty.
>>2801106You are a tourist, not an outdoorsman Might as well be a chinese person at yellowstone, you fucking loser Even they are probably more /out/ than you are
>>2801110I've killed deer with bows and arrows I've made myself and dressed them with stone knives. Your metric for "outdoorsman" is probably more like just going to the top of a mountain for no reason in orange nylon carrying freeze dried food.
>>2801114>80lb whitetail that was in his backyardYou are too fat to walk up a hill and you have never used your four wheel drive
>>2801117You should go to the Aspen area and see for yourself. Might at least get some cocaine for your troubles.

What are must haves to sell?How would you advertise?How should I make a biz plan? What AI should I use and how? I'm retarded lolI have a piece of land by a boat launch on a popular lake in the Midwest and would be the only bait shop on the lake. Yes it's zoned for biz.I'm thinking one of those tiny home/barn shells but customized and finished. Around 12x40 or so. It'll be $50-75,000 + InventoryLive bait is crazy expensive so obviously that - I live right by and have a pond I figured I'd stock and sell. And breed worms, leaches, w/e. So need live bait tanksWhat else should I sell given the small space? Figured stock cheap stuff to best value mid stuff. There's wholesalers kinda near. Buy some Alibaba shit? I'll try to make my own shit tooFish are Walleye, Bass, and Panfish. There's also trophy MuskieI'm a noob and haven't been /out/ for a decade so help [spoiler]or your father dies in his sleep[/spoiler]
>>2794071>bait shopfrogs and frogposting accessories
>>2799774Quite literallymasterbaitersbaitandtackle dot com
>>2794071My 5 centsIn AliExpress they sell decent fishing tackle (hooks, weights, swivels, etc)The simple lures like spoons, spinners, swim jigs are ok.Stay away from crankbaits since they are not very good, maybe you can try them if they are from aliexpress "brands" (lureholic and fjord are nice brands)
>>2801146Also, name your store "The fishing hole"
>>2801143Unbelievable. Everything possible under the sun really has been done, no wonder life is so boring anymore. Maybe try "BassHole's" instead?
Hello anons, Floridian /g/ tourist here.I want to wander around the Appalachian Mountains for a few days, in the snow. I am fucking tired of the heat. I am fucking tired of people. I literally just want to wander around in freezing cold snow, alone, for a week or so, living off the land. Preferably I would like to avoid people as much as possible. I want to learn land navigation. I also want to bring a gun, shoot an animal, and eat it.My questions are:>how feasible is this for someone who has never been on a REAL /out/ trip aside from camping with his dad as a kid and hiking preapproved trails?>what skills do I need to learn, regulations do i need to read, and equipment i need to bring to ensure that I don't suffer death, grievous bodily harm, and/or arrest during this trip?>where should I go? my only stipulation is that there is snow present. I want to do this november or december.
>>2784703What's the reason though.
Did OP go? Did OP an hero?
>>2799939It was just a bait thread for (You)s. When it didn't get enough traction OP bailed.
>>2799923indians will work for half the money and double the hours

These are objectively the best three /out/ states in the nation. You can’t beat the ocean and they have everything.
>>2799663shut it down! we dont need anymore faggot liberals trying to move here
>>2800407Trust me, I know. They have been driving up house prices to ridiculous levels. They sell their 2 bedroom shack in Torrance or some other hellscape hovel for 3/4 of a million and come up here with that money. I have family that works in real estate and they haven't sold property to a local resident since before covid. Local wages aren't even close to keeping up with the cost of housing because of this sudden influx of people fleeing cities. It is fun listening to them bitch about the weather though, it's like they expected LA weather, just a little cooler.
>>2801015I don't think that you understand. Your state is the containment zone.
>>2801020>3/4 of a millionLmao breh. 750000 doesn't get you anything nice anywhere in California. And don't forget you have to pay that almost 30% income tax and $5 for a gallon of gas.
>>2801023Once you are a couple hours from a major city, housing is cheap in California the majority of the time. Gas still sucks though.
I've decided to hike by myself from now on, even if it kills me during these really cold winter months. I signed up for a guided hike last month just to get warmed up to the idea of hiking during winter and holy fuck, it was fucking horrible. All these fucking people hiking in a line like cattle. There was nothing exciting about it, if anything, it was really depressing. There was lots of boomers and ugly women, it felt like people use these sort of gatherings to socialize and make friends, it was depressing seeing them desperately trying to socialize and befriend one another, I'm never doing this again.
>>2800731Mt Washington during winter IS mountaineering. Are you stupid?
>>2799754I just did it.It's like anything else in life, you either do it or you don't.>Hiking, camping, rock climbing, surviving prison, going through college.Even if you fail at least you tried.
>>2800838Sorry bubba, I wouldn't know much about your muttains.
>>2800334Kek you fucking killed him
>>2799748You are a pathetic piece of shit and going outside isn't for you. Find a hobby where you can be a fawn around people.
I want to go out on a nice spot somewhere in the woods and just play something. But because my instrument is piano it's a bit difficult. Is there any acoustic keyboard instruments that are portable for outsite usage for scenarios like i described here?
>>2800417>Feel like jamming: Just spend 3 hours whittling a flute bro.
>>2800413Unironically a great instrument. I have a bunch of Russian Vargans.
Harmonica
>>2800393I have a plastic recorder
>>2800413>>2800608Yup
what tents you all use? post pics. no hot tents.also, im a hobo currently using a tarp, saved up money and was thinking of getting the wild country helm 1 (picrel). would be nice to have an actual closed space at night. anyone have experience with wild country tents? i will put a tarp over it for extra protection.
>>2796184I have a version of this tent, mines older and all green. Solid tent m8
>>2796184why do ultralight tents always have some crazy complicated pole setup instead of a simple two pole dome like this? why can't they use the ultralight materials in a basic design like this?
>>2800989My ultralight tent doesn't even have poles :^)
>>2799417>FIDO 2 AIsucker born every minute I guess there's literally nothing special about this tent other than that it's 3x heavier and 3x as expensive as it should be
>>2801001trekking poles are for fagsand a tarp strung up with cord isn't a tenta hammock is also not a tent
Sometimes I use a covid mask but it makes my glasses humid
>>2799149I mean cold air that recently gave me cold (disease) after 30 minutes of running in 3°C
Scarf, beanie, warm clothes. Drink warm beverages all the time. You don't need a bullshit mask, in the contrary the humidity going inside the mask is molding your lungs if it stays too long on your face.
>>2798352It's such obvious bait but I still have to call you a faggot.
>>2799913It's obvious bait but you took it.
