>irrelevant because there's always signage
Wrong. I gave a perfectly good example. You must be from the western USA where 90% of the land is public and people have made it their identity to fight over property lines.

In the midwest there are many absentee landowners that don't care. It's not smart to push your luck as an outsider, but the locals know who's land is safe to roam and who's isn't. That's how it works when you're in an area with no public land - not even a local park or playground - nearby.

this is rare but does happen from time to time. I've never had anything I would call paranormal. I have heard sounds that resemble moaning. I have heard strange knocking and even screeching like noises. Sound does not travel well in mines. Voices often sound dull and muffled even when the other person is only a few yards away. When an unexpected noise happens it definitely induces panic. Best to stay calm and vigilant even though it turns your blood cold and the hairs on your neck stand up.

>>
>>2807003
this. i've owned dozens of packs and my current daypack is mystery ranch scree but they discontinued it when yeti bought them and replaced it with some other "new" 30 liter version. think its called a 2 or 3 day assault pack now.

I occasionally carry a 55l hyperlite or if im traveling a 80l gregory pack. nothing wrong with most of the high end brands, mystery ranch is just designed by people who actually use their shit, not some desk jockey who's never been hiking in their life.
>>
>>2807003
Mystery Ranch sold out a decade ago. They make good packs, but they made better packs before every video game wannabe started buying their y frame to be tacticool.

I gave my dad my y frame from when I deployed under socom. And it was a good pack. But I use my camelback from the same era as my small pack (25l vs 35l) and a modern ultra light if I want 35l of volume.
>>
>>2807003
You know how big brands like Osprey use marketing gimmicks such as promoting gender inclusion and racial diversity to foster an image of their company that will reach out to a certain demographic? Mystery Ranch does the same thing. You’re buying an image.

>>2806847
How is it? I was looking at these types of bags, also as a day pack/personal item carry-on for trips by plane. Opted for a Camelbak, 16L model instead.

Shit sucks man, most of the bodies of water around here are owned by farms and utility companies. Combine that with the droughts the past few years and 50% of the "ponds" I've driven to have been long empty or purposely filled in by the land owners. There's some private property with decent looking fishing but I'd have to knock on doors and ask.

I might see if I have to apply for some shit like that 3 year waitlist, there's a small dam nearby that I guarantee would have good fishing but the only way I can see to reach the water would be through the dam's property, I bet they'd let me back there if I called ahead of time...

Redpill me on fly fishing. Been thinking if getting into it nainly for trout and steelhead (very different size classes, I know). I already have spinning setups for both, and everyone says fly fishing is even more fun. For reference, I'm based out of Northern California. Can someone tell me if fly fishing fits the hype, and recommend some good setups for my area?
>>
>>2807982
Fly fishing absolutely lives up to the hype if you stick with it.
Get an echo lift kit in eother 4 or 6 weight for trout or 8 weight sor Steelhead. If you can afford two combos get the 4 and the 8, you can absolutely trout fish with an 8 if you're doing heavy nymph rigs ir streamers, and a 4 will have 8-18 inch trout perfectly matched.

i had a big pot where i just tossed my leftover seeds, some sprouting potatoes, an onion.

honestly its been a really fun project over winter, its indoors so, the weather hasnt really been a problem, first the onions grew, free green onion, nice for a sandwhich, then the potatoes started coming up, thought i saw som tobacco sprouting but they died because, well, this want really something i wanted to "take care of" other then dumping some water on.
peas and beans tried, but i couldnt be assed to put up support so they died pretty qucik too.

then the chillies have pretty much taken over, i think i have 4-5 plants in there now, no clue what they are, they could be anything from normal grocery store "red chilies" to funky purple decorative ones, to carolina reaper.

im terrible at seed management so i just had ended up with a whole load of un labeled seeds. fun little living room jungle, would recommend

Can I plant broad beans (Vicia faba) even when it’s below freezing?
All literature says they can deal with frost and should go in very early, but it also says you should soak them before. And then I’ll have some wet beans in the ground that’ll freeze through. Doesn’t really sound ideal.
>>
>>2808038
normally beans would be planted in October/November and then overwintered
if you want to plant now and it's still freezing, do it indoors in something that's 3" deep

I'm addicted to appreciating natural beauty, and this is the evolution of that. I live on the Olympic peninsula and have been taking my bike on solo camping trips in Olympic national forest as well as many day trips.
My "goal" is to try to go as deep and long into the wilderness as I can, but this is for the purpose of enjoying the wilderness to the fullest. I'm just a beginner but am learning with each trip and nerd out obsessively researching things.
It feels like the ultimate open-world video game. Of course this is precisely the kind of experience that such games emulate.
My bicycle is a Surly Ogre which is ideal for my purposes and rides like a dream. It has an overbuilt chromoly steel frame to be bombproof and handle lots of weight.

You can get away with doing this in parts of Alaska and Canada, but anywhere else especially managed land you'll get someone pounding on your door wondering why you have a log cabin on their property. Someone absolutely will chase you off of their land because in some places you can just move in and claim it for yourself.
