What do you pack in your bag? What bag is it? What brand (everything in it)? Where do you hike? What shoes, boots, jackets do you wear, etc.
>>2851553>Throw the tissue into the next bushBaitI've been just blowing my nose into my hand and shaking it clean or brushing it off in snow.
>>2851424don't really hike for fun but i got a little cabin tucked away in the woods that requires a lot of walking, snowmachining, being outside, etc. i also have to occasionally walk several miles due to breakdowns, moving vehicles around, or getting extremely stuck/too drunk to ride. i'm mostly there in winter snow this is what i usually pack on the snowmachine, summer is another story>bootsblack or white bunny boots>base layerthick wool sockspajama pants under overallshoodienon cotton shirtbalaclava or buffsnow gogglesvarious glovessometimes also long johns if its really cold>coatComment too long.

>>2851424I have an m85 Alice ruck on a hdpe frame. I've got a matching hammock and woobie. Me knoif(s): a helle spider, a batoning knife, and an okc 5.5". I've also got a fiskar hatchet. I keep dryer lint and a ferro rod in an empty tobacco tin. Started keeping dry flour and yeast in bags, and a jar of honey butter, or herbs in butter. I've also got peanut butter with my own trail mix blend, and I'll bring a collapsible rod to catch fish. During antler and holiday antlerless I'll bring whatever rifle with me along with my cdib since I can use that as my hunting/fishing license on tribal land between the Cherokee, muskogee-creek, chickasaw, choctaw, and seminole. Fresh socks, skivvies, and a first aid bag with stuff my ems supply won't miss. If it's freezing I'll bring my cold weather sleeping bag. I've got a space blanket for general purpose use. Haven't tried to use it to reflect Campfire heat.

I love being outdoors, love hunting camping hiking fishing, all of it. Been doing it all since a kid. But I have a huge problem with being scared of the dark. I'm alright as long as there's someone else with me, but when I'm alone out deep enough into the woods I can't help but be debilitatingly scared of the dark.It's so bad that I have to have my hand on my gun at all times once the sun goes down, I even piss in a bottle at night so I don't have to leave the tent. It's hard to sleep because I'm hyper alert to every sound, and as you know there are a lot of them at night. So my question is, has anyone else felt with this and how did you over come it?
>>2850938>>2850955ya need help. now.
>>2850938It’s how you trap multiple homosexuals to have your way with
>>2844571I only did it when it was too cold and I was too lazy to leave my tent
>>2853302What do you mean
>>2844585For me, it took more solo trips just to get over it. Basically you spent a few nights and nothing happens and you realize nothing is likely to happen and you calm down. Granted, it’s never as calm as in your own bed and depending on where you are and what you’re doing sometimes a little fear is warranted.Yeah, that’s probably not what you wanted to hear but it worked for me. Try doing shorter trips close to home and just practice the act of camping. Short trips are underrated anyways.
east coast hikes are more hardcore than west coast hikes
>>2853211That's what the Mt. Washington, Mt. Greylock, Equinox Mountain, Mt. Ascutney, Mt. Philo, and Cadillac Mountain auto roads are for anon
>>2853243those are probably all seasonal and jammed with boomers
There’s a dead guy right now on Mt. Whitney. Whitney, which is in the lower part of the Sierra Nevada, is the tallest peak in the lower 48 states. People saw his body so it’s known that he’s dead, but at this point winter is setting in and the mountain will be covered with tons of snow so Search and Rescue has called off recovery attempts because it’s just too treacherous. Meanwhile the dead guys mom has been going on a bunch of hiking groups asking if anyone can find her son because “no one will help us”Is that hardcore enough for you?
>>2853335No that is not hardcore enough for me
>>2853335>Meanwhile the dead guys mom has been going on a bunch of hiking groups asking if anyone can find her son because “no one will help us”That's pretty irresponsible, she doesn't understand the risk that rescuers take. That body isn't going anywhere, so why rush?
Post your favorite /out/ patches. Also, how do you display any patches you don't have on a pack? I tried doing a board but I think I need more patches because it feels empty.
>>2853253>Wait til you find out how your backpack is held together.Nah bro, anon's $1000 backpack is welded together.None of those god damned stitches anywhere, they let water in.>>2853249>What idiot really uses this shit?If you think your backpack is going to flood due to a few stitches for a patch.1- do like tent manufacturers do: waterproof seam tape.or2- glue it
I'm proud of my /out/ches
any cute and possibly funny yuru petches?

>>2850689The last time I saw my father was 3 years ago at a family funeral. We didn't say a word to each other.Imagine loving your father. I hope I get to pull his plug.
>>2850689Whenever I go to a national park he wanted to visit, I bring his urn.
>>2850689I used to. But he's 84 now, has a bad hip, approaching Alzheimer's and wouldn't enjoy it.
>>2853287Based, I hope one day, many years from now, my son will do that for me.
>>2853316I'm trying to convince my sisters and my step mom to let me dump it at the grand canyon. I'm already trying to figure out a way to include his ashes in some resin to turn into beads for them to wear, and a set of dice for me since he grew up with original d&d, and i forever dm with his stories in mind
Is this yellow spider dangerous? Are they life threatening?There's lots of them out by the woods here.
>>2850760They are harmless. Them and other orb weaver or garden spiders are great insect killers in your yard
>>2850771>What kind of potato did you take that picture withI'm going to guess a modern Google phone, and he managed to press the button as soon as the lens unfocused.Mine does it to me all the time. Especially if I'm trying to take quick pictures.
>>2850760Assuming youre in Japan, no they are harmless
>>2850760I love banana spiders. They shake the web like little retards
>>2853308My mother used to claim they were good luck but I think that's just because there was a giant one that took over her rose garden for like 3 years.
Have you ever been CAUGHT innawoods doing something against the rules by a forest janny? If so, what were you doing wrong, and what was your punishment?
I got caught jerking off I dont want to talk much more about it but yes exactly what you think. Someone managed to sneak up on me and we were both as startled as each other.
>>2850562I was hinting in western alberta, when a truck full of jeets pulled up next to me asking if I saw any deer. I told them to fuck off.
>>2849778A park ranger once watched me cum into my girlfriend prone bone on a blanket, then started slow clapping when I rolled off of her. No idea how long he was there. He told us to get dressed and either be quiet or bring a tent next time.
>>2851341Seems like he rolls mdma a lot
>>2851021Rural, but not wilderness. I went on a search and wellness check on a couple of autistic kids, one non verbal. They decided to up and take off. Thank God it was summer. Parents lived in a trailer out in bfe and basically bordered the woods out by devil's den state park. Dogs find them, we put them in our ambulance to check their vitals. Oh my God, the first time I ever wanted to steal a couple of kids. They kept showing me the toys they brought with them, and they weren't even scared. It was like another walk down the street for them, playing with their toys. Their aunt put in the report after stopping by to visit, the kids' parents were methheads and passed out after being on a 5 day binge. The state ended up taking those kids, and I pray they got somewhere better.
All of the evergreens really pop out. I didn't even realize how much fucking moss is everywhere. It's absolutely beautiful and totally negates the fact that most of the forest looks like shit. I thought hiking was going to suck until the first snowfall but it's really quite nice. I spent about 7.5 hours outside today in ~32F. This is my first season trying winter hiking.
>>2852847It's Rich Mountain in WV. There was a nice effect of the higher elevations being especially covered in snow and this highlighting the evergreens. In much of Appalachia, evergreens would have been far, far more common pre-logging. They require/create a specialized fungal ecosystem, and, when logged, the disturbance to the soil meant that hardwood trees were more likely to grow back except at the most extreme, exposed high elevations.
>>2852881>the disturbance to the soil meant that hardwood trees were more likely to grow back except at the most extreme, exposed high elevations.No, evergreens grow better with disturbance because they require more sunlight. That's why red cedar and white pine is so common on the edges of forest and in fields but not in the actual forest itself. If you want more evergreens then petition for more prescribed burns or managed logging to create a more diverse ecosystem. Oh wait leave no trace we need to leave nature completely alone because everything humans do is le bad.
>>2852894>No, evergreens grow better with disturbance because they require more sunlight.that's not the issuethe conifer needles feed the fungus in the soil, when you remove the conifers you starve the fungus, which then dies and lives symbiotically with the treesI suppose hardwoods have lesser fungal requirementsalso, clearcut logging tends to lead to mass forest fires because of the sawdust left behind and trim easily igniting, which further disrupts the bacteria and fungus in the soil >If you want more evergreensI think they would have to amend the soil heavily but there's all sorts of ridgeline slops where I'm pretty sure pre-logging it would have been solid pine/spruce/fir/etc and they don't make much of an effort to restore it and now its kudzu and prickers and heath bushes
>>2851613I love moss. Just wait until you start seeing rime ice forming little windswept icicles on the surface of the sphag
>>2853197have a rock with some moss
I live not far from here, im upsetti spaghetti, whats a nigga to do in order to stop this senseless abuse of the natural world
>>2852344It wont be a public roads. That said, roads are permanent so eventually, the road will probably see public use.>>2848558NTA but I live in the Arctic near where this is happening. People live up here annon. >>2844788The Arctic is the weather machine for the northern hemisphere. Everyone should care about what’s going on up here. >>2844825Kill yourself.
>>2844731There’s a difference between how the public uses the term “wilderness” and how conservation agencies define “Wilderness”. Many places that are not designated Wilderness are still wilderness as far as they function and how the public conceives of them. “Wilderness” as designated by conservation agencies refers to specific lands protected by the wilderness act of 1964.I don’t think most journalists or even anctivists are intentionally being misleading with the use of that language. It’s a very common term used to describe all kinds of natural places and besides, in this case, there’s virtually no functional difference between the land that has been designated Wilderness by the BLM/NPS and the land that has not except for that the former has laws theoretically protecting it from resource extraction. The caribou don’t care about an arbitrary line on a map that designates one side as Wilderness and one as not. For all intents and purposes, the Arctic is largely completely roadless (red dog mine road being an exception and a good comparison to the proposed Ambler road) and therefore extremely wild.
>>2852893just have to contact the mine operator and agree to their radio control protocols.
>>2852897Even the locals here who are for the road are very concerned about outsiders coming down the road and fucking up their subsistence. I’m sure the agreement made with the mining company is going to include a requirement for them to strictly enforcement access to the road.But like I said, roads are permanent. The company may successfully keep the public off it for the 40-50 years it operates but who knows what’ll happen after that.
