>8 miles into 10 mile hike, starting descent>ass cheeks and gooch are chafing, no more sweat like during incline, wind has dried things outI’m losing weight so I understand that’s a part of the issue but what does /out/ do for this? Shave my ass hair? Wear different underwear?
>>2719702Smart wool compression shorts you absolutely turbo retard. So tired of spoon feeding these ubranites. I hope you get gang raped by a pack of feral niggers
>>2719732Thanks!
Shaving will intensify the problem because two of the functions of body hair are moisture wicking and reducing friction.
Try Bodyglide. Worked for me when I ran marathons. Any running store should carry.And shave that ass, boy. It makes the buck breaking easier.

Spill the beans on what first aid kit pouches do you use and what's inside?

I just carry a tick remover, maybe i should carry some meds or some shit
Do I really need to carry a hatchet? Or a spade? Or a saw?I'm starting to think that once you have a solod foundation of knowledge you can do just fine with a good knife and a packed canteen kit with fire starters and fishing / trapping kits just to save time and inconvenience.> HatchetOr just pick up branches for your fire.> SpadeHands, flat stone or log> SawAre you playing Bob the Builder?> GunComment too long.

>>2718743Minimal, not miniature. It is minimal because you only need the one item. I know people who carry a knife, saw and hatchet with them. The point is you don't need to carry all these items, just the one.

>>2718082>Google how much firewood it takes to keep you warm for even a single freezing night.Or just go and try it. Not much of you find the right kind of wood and camp in the right spot with no wind. You can just sleep in a good sleeping bag all night and be fine.

/k fag here. I just got this female German shepherd. She's a year old. I can tell her last owners didn't do much to stimulate her energy. She's already bonded to me as well. Having her makes me want to go do shit Innawoods. Took her on a 4 hour hike at a local lake the other day. Pic rel. Really wore her and myself /out. It was really fun. What other activities can I do with her innawoods? Also tell me about your trailbuddy if you'd like.
>>2719456My dog was an absolute weapon off leash for years, would run around like loony and was no good in urban areas, still is no good in urban areas desu. Just keep him on a long rope and he's fine in the bush. Excellent hunting dog, has done more cool shit than most of /out/ Dunno what your problem is.
>>2719467He's just a retard
I took her to meet her future boyfriend. Hes my brothers dog. Their so cute. They'll have good looking pups. Not breeding them till next year. Don't wanna rush motherhood and even then it'll be sparingly to be easy on her. >>2718980Once I get her trained not to head to far off I'll let her off the leash in the woods cause I'm not a limpwristed faggot. >>2719154Thank you anon>>2719180Sounds like an old lab my brother had lol>>2719467Dudes a fag urbanite who probably cries when outside of a city. Ignore him
>>2718807no I don't own a dog because I have hobbies and a life and don't want my life to revolve around a canine's bladder schedule
>>2719569>hobbies and a lifeWhich clearly both have nothing to do with going /out/ for you, otherwise a dog needing to pee wouldn't be an issue.

My brother in Christ you are literally walking on a level gravel path with full phone reception for two hours.Even the shit that requires a small amount of preparation is turned into some kind of catastrophic do-or-die adventure when it's just going for a muddy/icy/warm walk up a hill with a pack on.

I climbed a really tall mountain. There was a castle on top. It represents the highest point between here (in America) and the Pyrenees mountains in France. Bonus points if you know where this is.
>>2719860
>>2719860Table Mountain, South Africa. Roughly half the elevation as the OP's hill.
>>2719835Yeah it is really small compared to the west coast, but compared to the east coast it is technically the tallest. I see it as the start of the Rockies, even if it technically isn't part of it.
>>2719860Looks like you're on the top of the world. Cool to see sea level and mountains at the same time. I can see why people refuse to leave SA, nice looking part of the planet, fren.

I really like doing vie ferrate and I'm lucky to live in a place full of them. The problem is: I'm extremely scared of heights. As soon as I go above 5 meters of height my legs start shaking, my palms get sweaty, I start hyperventilating etc. It's always very tough to get it under control.Any climbing anons out there scared of heights, how do you conquer it?
Austrian mountaineer Kurt Diemberger dislikes via ferratas for that reason. He says they allow inexperienced climbers to gain too much altitude too quickly which can cause them to freak out and 'freeze'. I would start in an indoor climbing gym if I were you.
Everyone is sick of tourists on the Garda.
You aren't scared of heights, you're scared of falling
>>2719779Why are you doing via ferratas if you're so afraid of heights? You're ruining the experience for those of us who don't have those issues. Fuck off back to your basic bitch hiking trails, thx
There are literally hundreds of attractive young women trying and quitting the AT right now, they need your help and motivation anon. Will you be there to save them in their time of need and to spur them onwards down the trail? Or will you let them suffer and quit shortly after the trailhead?

>>2714197Universally proven false by the state of the world economic cycle and the dependence of third world nations on the US Dollar. Nigger.
>>2708415I assumed it was common sense to weigh down the flapping part of your tent but then again I also assume the average person isn't completely clinically retarded.
>>2718817im on the upper end of normal and socially anxious around strangersbut im certain i can get over it when im actually out there and have no internet or way to avoid talking to other people
>>2719804Same. Last year, I was being ignored left and right by women on a popular hike. One of them ended up injuring herself later on and I just laughed. Fuck women. The fewer I see in the outdoors, the better.
My vote is the Catskills in NY. Hybrid cars parked all up and down every road. Thousands of fat guys in khaki shorts photographing trees. Loud black women chasing their screaming kids everywhere. Trail closure and no trespassing signs every 50 yards. Literal fucking security cameras at trailhead parking areas. I hope a fucking forest fire claims the whole region.
>>2715029packed places are packed regardless of coasts, dummy
>>2712101Definitely a shit show, but its redeeming qualities you mentioned are superb. Most of the problem is concentrated in emerald bay, zephyr cove, and sand harbor. I don't think many places could even hold a candle to lake tahoe. No place has such access to the outdoor activities yet an incredible supply chain for everyday needs.
>>2717398yes80% of the US lives east of the Mississippiso east coast problem.
>>2717868This isn't remotely true but you east coast retards live in your own little world and I hope to god you stay there.
>>2719278>Maroon Bells, Colorado>Zion, UtahYou can’t drive inside either of those parks anymore (the dead ends roads that go into the centers of the parks towards the hiking trails, at least), you have to take the free bus service or be on a bicycle
I'm a week into this, fuck boys I'm out of shape. I'm stopping to sleep every 7-8 miles or so, about half the distance these 'stages' list. At this rate I should finish by mid April. It's winter so anything useful is closed, how the fuck do people live out here with no services. So far the weather is good, only one snowstorm but I got lucky and found shelter 20 minutes after it started. I should have brought better shoes, maybe I'll get some at the next Decathlon. This is a reminder that even us lethargic types can get up and walk a little each day. But fuck these hills, is this whole fucking trip uphill? I swear I walk up 80% of the time. I got poles which are helping for sure but I still have to stop midway even on the smallest of hills. I'd rather be at home ordering UberEats but I'm hoping that feeling passes eventually.

>>2719092i always believed in him>>2719355thats awesome, good for you anon. Btw, the victory here is that you did it, not that you met some girl. on trips people make all sorts of wild plans with people they meet and it goes nowhere, id be lying if I told you i didnt fall head over heels with some french sloot i met in a hostel or whatever back in my early traveler days. so if you meet up with her, great. I wouldn't put my money on it.and also man, im glad you made great memories, don't forget to keep adventuring, and meeting new women on those adventures, now you know you can do it!cheers

She is from the UK, and yeah I don't expect much but it was nice to be with a female for a week in Madrid, she made me have fun. Maybe I'll get on a dating app soon.I hope everyone reading this goes on that trip they are too scared to go on, I know I'm going to go on another one soon. Thanks /out/

Galicia is too cloudy for those 2/3 degrees more above the horizon, Iceland is even worse and more expensive to get. the *ideal* spot is the Greenland ice cap really

>>2719200I take an old railroad lantern for off-trail camping. Shit's maximum cozy.
>>2719200Yup! Car camping but it’s a mile and a half hike to the spot. I’ve roughed it with lighter gear but if I can take the chance I’d rather carry something heavier and more comfortable
>>2718226Just scrunch the corner of the tarp up and use it like a piece of rope to tie a sheet bend in it. There are some even more secure knots you can tie too, but this one's quick to tie and easy to learn. You may even already know it.
>>2718811If you take a trash bag and cut it open by slicing it down one of the sides, then cut it across bottom, you can turn it into a single layered big rectangular sheet of plastic. 2 or 3 of these sheets should be enough to fit a person laying down under it, but it could take more depending on the size of your trashbag and the desired size of the finished tarp. As for melting them together, sure you can do this. Just overlap the edges of the two sheets of plastic and apply a little heat as you press them together. You can use a bunch of different heat sources to do this too. Like a clothes iron, flat iron, soldering iron, heat gun, or maybe even a hair dryer. You may need to fold a few pieces of paper over and place it on top of the plastic to insulate it from the heat source bit, so you can heat it slowly and evenly.
