Autist here. What is the appropriate way to greet women that you encounter on the trail?
>>2855169Running directly at them with a stern, cold expression.
>>2856814they want chad to stare..
>>2855169strained smile, brief eye contact upon passing within 5 feet,, "hey", keep walking no matter what they reply with
>>2856848nah they crave any and all attention.

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?
>>2856362>just trust the nice murderous drug dealers, they won't kill you if they dont want toYou are defending literal cartel murderers Do you realize thatYoure defending the honor of the worst human scum in existenceWhyJust to make some bullshit nonsensical point about racism? Immigrants? What liberal talking point are you working on right now? FUCKYOU
>>2856370I'm not defending anything you raging homosexual. I'd smear every last one of those scum off the Earth with the push of a button if you gave me the chance. What I AM saying is if you're in a state of heightened paranoia about them just because you're going /out/ in the desert you need to stop role-playing on 4chan and actually GO /out/.
1000 women go missing every year due to horny Mexicans and that's just part of the plan1 woman dies of a cougar attack in the last 25 years and everyone loses their minds!
>>2852923>I just fucking saw one so they aren't invisible stealth masters killers like you are all sayingYou said you’ve seen one in an area that is supposedly full of them>There are literally like 20 videos of people being cornered or charged, not ambushedThose are defensive attacks like a mother with cubs which is never going to happen to you. Everyone has said they don’t hunt people

Last thread >>2844498This is a thread for enjoying a pipe while doing outdoor activities. If you ask why this belongs on /out/, you've never spentan evening by the campfire with a pipe silently enjoying the nature around you, and you're missing out.>how to get startedPurchase a corn cob pipe (or a cheap briar pipe) and a pouch of Half and Half or Captain Black tobacco from a smoke shopor online. You will need a lighter or match, and something to tamp it with--a large nail works well if you don't have a pipe tool.Fill the pipe with tobacco, pack it down halfway, top it off, pack it down to 3/4, top it off again, pack gently and enjoy. Smokeslower than you think you need to, the tobacco tastes best when it is burning cool. Tamp and re-light as needed. If you stillhave trouble, try different methods on YouTube until you find one that works for you.>smoking a pipe will give you cancerOriginally the Surgeon General found that pipe and cigar smokers, following a careful study of the statistics (at a time whenmost adults smoked, so they had a good sample size), had insignificant death rate increases. Nowadays, tobacco is beinglegislated against while hard drugs are being legalized. Put two and two together. Tobacco is just another good thing under attack by the government.Comment too long.

>>2857622>unfinished/natural typeI don't fully trust the varnish, even if it's just plaster and lacquer.
I know it might sound like a silly question but how much of the bowl do you fill and how would you even relight this thing?
scored a NOS noname Canadian last week, payed a tenner. I don't even need a new pipe, just bought it because it was cheap and I didn't have that shape yet. autism i guess.
>>2857731The whole thing, it's basically a vertical cigar. Use long matches.

License prices went up this year, don't know if getting anything besides a standard license is really worth it at the new prices. Using two rods at a time is like $50 extra now.
>>2857747licence went from 112 euros to 114 in franceand there isn't enough fish stocking or maintenance program to justify thatlast time i've seen water body maintenance, it's the local city hall doing it on it's own money

Since we pike posting. I let them go most of the time cuz they're gross eating
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.
>>2853355Same. He's cool. I've got the bear picnic, the cozy camper, and the magical place patches
There was a store for a Yooper Anon I've been meaning to buy from. Would love a pasty patch.

Anyone from /out/ tell me if the Kantamus 60L is worth it? Looking for an endgame backpack that will survive the apocalypse.
>>2855936Yes, you can add a lid and stuff another drybag on top, but it doesn't really solve the problem if you want things secure inside the bag. It's just a slight annoyance and it's designed to not stick up above your head. A couple more inches would be nice or a snow lock inside that extend above.
Its great and you dont need to buy exclusive savotta aftermarket gear to make it YOUR pack
>>2855878I don't really want on that's a different color, I guess.Also, it's really hard to find PALS horizontal pouches, for some reason.
>>2844793>>2856041i spoke against savotta for many years here and apparently i was forgottensure they are indestructible and every finnish person swears by them because of the LJK (the one who made them great and what every sc/out/ was forced to carry in the army) >you dont need to buy exclusive savotta aftermarket gear to make it YOUR packbut you do need to purchase variety of molle pockets no matter the brand because their own bags are designed not to accumulate anything in their side pockets unless the bag is completely empy, hell even in your own pic you have strapped on some aftermarket pouch for that very same reasonthey are rugged bags but designed so that you have to get accessory pouches by defaultalso keep in mind that the paid shill from finnish company varusteleka posts here himself regularly and promotes this shit
>>2857750>they are rugged bags but designed so that you have to get accessory pouches by defaultyeah, that always irked me with military style backpacks, and especially with savotta. their stuff looks nice, but their backpacks are super minimal in their features and having the adaptability is a sort of "selling point" for them, BUT they are already super expensive for what they offer and they weigh a ton, and then on top of that you have the option to buy small pouches, that for their size, are even more expensive and weigh even more, so you can have basic functionality that should be there to begin with.i bought a maxpedition backpack 10 years ago and while the idea of adding pouches to the outside was nice and may have played into why i originally bought it, i never actually ever bothered buying anything extra for the backpack. i think it makes more sense to find a backpack that already has all the features you want.i dont think i will buy a military backpack again. the maxpedition served me well, but i dont see the point anymore. other backpacks do their job just as well
near one of the most remote lakes in the western US. I thought /out/ told me the western US was remote and untouched. all you really need is a car, AllTrails™ App, and some running shoes?
>>2857663>all state land>of the 6 million only 1.1 is designated wilderness>of that 1.1 the biggest parcel is only 275K acressorry. my bad. Contiguous designated wilderness areas lol
>>2857670>all state landthats not true. Half of the 6 million acres is privately owned. lol
>>2857670>>2857672I will note that New York has some of the most accessible state lands in comparison to the state lands owned out west. They treat it more like national forest land than national park land.
>>2857734no#calledyouonyourlarp
>>2857734meh. maybe. in my state, state land is relatively small in comparison to federal land but what it has is very accessible- and not just state parks. The state owns all sorts of random parcels that are not developed in any way- little to no signage etc....but you are free to hike, fish, hunt on it etc...its great because a lot of people dont even know about it (them) so they see very little traffic.>>2857738he is refering to land owned by the State not federal land
the greatest /out/ youtuber is back. did we miss him?
I've been watching his solo camping videos a lot recently. It's really quite remarkable how much time is spent cooking.
>>2856441I mean eating is the only relatable part of what hes doing so obviously you gotta make that a lot of the video for normies to care. He makes videos for people who have never left a trail you could push a wheelchair down.
>>2848219Nope. Now he's officially part of Mormon leadership, And the cult is making him stop. This isn't a joke. https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2025/12/10/outdoor-boys-youtuber-luke-nichols/I'm also going to take bets that the YouTube channel is going to go down for a while, and all the videos are going to be re-edited. If not just permanently removed.
>>2856441You need 2-3k calories. Of course you're gonna spend a ton of time cooking.And food suplies are gonna last you only so long before you'll have to start finding food outdoors.
kek this dude pure comedy. he is the definition of every REI city boyscout meme in one. has to be faked. constantly doing retard tier things and beyond obvious he just throws richfag money at every problem he creates. will never forget him not knowing what a snow mobile is, called them like snowbikes or some sht lmao kekwwww. those mini cabins he built with no vents but uses gas space heater lulz. watching his kids barrel flag him everytime they go hunting and he just oblivious. when his truck was frozen so he used a blowtorch to thaw some ice but melted his transmission line kekw. the many massive illegal bonfires he starts in random woods lmao. the list is actually endless. did like learning his leaf science about frozen LCD tvs haha squirrel found a nut with that one.
Have any of you seen bigfoot?
>>2857579....and they are allowed to vote.
>>2857296I really wanted to give you grief about your blog but found it pretty interesting. Thanks for taking the time to write it up.>>2857520> People who believe in bigfoot are living in a fantasy world and that is detrimental to society.Agreed but there’s also nothing wrong with going along with the fun at times. The film always looked fake to me but I will swear they are real because it’s fun. I would say the same about Santa, leprechauns, and the Loch Ness monster. However, I’m not going to spend all my money tracking down hair that stinks in the forest.
>>2856380>this guy thinks Bigfoot is just a gorilla running around North America and we'd catch one by now>Bigfoot is an inter-dimensional entity that can't be caught, can go invisible.
I'd consider myself a skeptic. When I was in high school a friend and I had a pretty strange encounter on 2 separate occasions on my family's land in rural GA. I asked around and turned out quite a few people in that same area (it was a community in a valley between two hilly areas) had experienced some weird things as well. Because I was a nerd and had a lot of time on my hands I ended up diving into research and interviewing people. In the small community of maybe....50 people or so, these were the reports I heard:>tree knocks in the night>whistles, and baby crying sounds at night>tree structures found in 2 areas>one guy was chased from his tree stand to his truck at dusk>one guy was truck hunting at night and had something slam into his truck hard enough to shake it side to side, but never saw what did it>yellow eye shine at the edge of woods>1 (and only 1) person reported an actual sighting but they sincerely confessed it could've been a hunter in brown coverallsThis was all around the 2005(ish) timeline. I poked around a few of the hunting areas the reports came from and never found anything substantial. I'm talking solo hiking for hours on end during both daylight and dark. The only weird personal experience I had was definitely hearing tree knocks at night, but there's literally no way to say what caused them. I also saw one of the tree structures myself and it was compelling, but lack of any real physical evidence left me skeptical. I wrote a blog about my research, but it's since been lost to the mist after photobucket and freewebs went down years ago.
>>2857743>yellow eye shine at the edge of woodsBear.And everything else you described is bear.>t. Ga anon woth black bears on his property.

>>2857293Okay but why are you like this, I could find you a dozen places that are more scarred
>noooo you don't understand, we can't use our superior regulations and methods to mine this two mile spot in the middle of nowhere, we have to force third world countries with less regulations and safety to mine it for us
>>2857105A state wildlife sanctuary borders my western property line. A cattle ranch is down the road. I drive past the cattle ranch multiple times a week. I honestly do not think cattle ranching is inefficient. The cows are loose on hundreds of acres eating grass. The grass grows with the naturally occurring sun and rain. Once or twice a year the rancher takes fat mature cattle to market and buys small yearlings. I am sure he has to give the cows antibiotics. The ranchers I pass at the local feed & seed do not seem stressed out to me. They do not seem to think they are caught up in some horribly inefficient machine.

Hey anons, I recently got a job where I need to carry some personal stuff in a bag. I expect it to go in and out of boats and aircraft. Ideally also carry-on dimensions for typical airlines. It'll be sitting indoors for the most part, but if I'm unlucky it'll sit out in the rain or get dropped in a puddle.I've found a bag that meets my requirements for the most part, a North Face duffel, but I was wondering if any anons have advice on what I should get. I'd like to get one that looks a little more unique and high-vis too. Is a proper drybag worth it? picrel is just "water resistant"
>>2857483What job? You're just a bagger.
>>2857584Fair enough, NEETing is based. I shoot goats and pigs on islands as a small part of my job.
>>2857607The islands don't have ammo??
>>2857628No, they don't have plumbing typically.
Get a ~40L carry on hardshell and a ~30L backpack for going under the seat. You don't want to be a dufflebag cuck for hours at a time when you're flying with both of these. There will be times when you have to stand around for extended periods when flying and you don't want the duffle for that. It's also more annoying when boarding as you attempt to not smack people in the face while you go down the airplane aisle. Just buy a 40L carry on. Away makes one for ~$275 and travelpro makes a budget tier one for $160. I've done the dufflebag plus backpack and I've done the big backpack little backpack and it fucking sucks. Get an actual carryon.
