>>2871677Yeah I've lived in the prairies and in several places in BC and the prairies are far worse weatherwise.Weather on the BC coast in spring, summer, and fall is about as good as it gets in Canada.Unless you're complaining about the winter rain or something, which is still preferable to -40 and whiteout blizzard conditions.

>>2871722Are the eyes not attached to the rod? Are you firmly pulling with a slight twist you lock the nested sections? Or am I misunderstanding what you're saying?
Instead of a rod, what if you had a slingshot to launch bait/lures?
>>2871728It's a thing. They make a glove that you can mount a reel to and then use a slingshot to either launch a lure out to or a dart into fish. You can find them on amazon
>>2871728Surf fishermen do this but with drones to get past the breakers.
>>2871731ooo a drone is a good idea. with a fish-vision camera. I'll just give it my bobber and it'll fly around, using AI, to find the best spot. actually, if I just give the drone line and a spool I shouldn't even have to leave the house
I planted three sisters, leafy greens, radishes, onions, garlic, potatoes, various berries, figs, apples, kiwis, grapes, and herbs. The trees I grew from seed 5 years ago are now large enough to shade my garden. I planted this year knowing that the cost of food in fall will be high enough to justify the extra work I have done this year. Diesel is now at record highs globally.

>>2868331Wow! Great thread OP.
So I happened upon an ad for an "outdoors bidet", which screws onto your water bottle and lets you wash your ass when you take a shit.The woman said that it frees you from carrying your used toilet paper.Herein comes the question, who the fuck carries his used TP?You know you can just leave it in the wilderness and it will decompose, right?
>>2871584I've thought about this ever since that pepper vid. I'm always going to bury my tp if able. However there are some places like high in the mountains where feces and tp won't degrade properly, where you have to pack out everything.
>>2871614Yes, compared to shit covered toilet paper that won’t biodegrade for several years it’s a non-issue.
>>2871647toilet paper is designed to dissolve in water. one heavy rain and its gone.
>>2871647> Yes, compared to shit covered toilet paper that won’t biodegrade for several years it’s a non-issue.Baby wipes are not toilet paper, use toilet paper. Bury both the paper and the feces.
>>2871709Yeah, I'm just gonna carry around a shovel for no other reason than to bury literal shit. Put more bins around for the dog walkers and use compostable plastic.
We can argue about which country has the best mountains but deep down in our hearts we all know it's Switzerland and people only say otherwise cause it's expensive as fuck
>>2871575Ill bet Gulf of America made you cry
>>2871593It made me laugh desu
>>2871577>If it weren't for McKinley, we wouldn't have AlaskaImagine being this fucking retarded. McKinley had nothing to do with the aquisition of Alaska and never stepped foot in the state. Why are you so fucking stupid?
>>2871577wrong>>2871593Gulf of America vs Gulf of Mexico makes no difference to me, both names suck
Since we went on a tangent of "what natives called it"....Orcas are also called "killer whales".Thats actually a mistranslation from a guide when the natives were asked what they called it.The proper translation is "whale killer".Weird how it makes so much more sense now....
K sorry if this thread is not so great it’s my first time on 4chan ever. Is there anyone that can tell me if sugar rocket fuel with potassium nitrate and icing sugar is better when just in powder form or melted down with water in a pan. I wanna make some rocket motors a maybe firecrackers with it and I’m wondering what would work better. I’ve never done this before and only 13 so I really have no idea. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks
>>2871661Begone GLOWIE
>>2871661I LIKE TO SHIT ON MY PANCAKES
>>2871661It's much much better when melted down, have fun but be careful. Also when cooking it there's a 90% you'll ignite the mixture during your first attempt so do it outside. It's not dangerous but the flames this produces are literally impossible to stop (the oxidation doesn't need air so even a fire extinguisher won't do shit).also if you live in a dry area don't do it, the propellent doesn't burn cleanly and the burning goo/lava residue that will fall back with your rocket are extremely hot for a long time. Also your first attempts will 100% explode on the "pad" so just be careful. Enjoy your weekend glowing nigger faggot
>>2871661>I’ve never done this before and only 134chins is 18+ kiddo
>>2871676OP here not a glowie I just looove shit that blows up also fuck being 18

Ok moral of this shitty thread's story: everywhere on the planet is in some way a shit hole and we need to eradicate the baby dick bandits. Great. Now that we've established that point for the trillionth time, can we go back to what we were talking about?

Are people really relying on randomly stacked rocks to determine where they are like it's the 1800's
>>2871298>this terrain is all piles of rocks>I know how to direct people, with a pile of rocks!man bring a fencepost and some concrete or something
>>2871245anon, we've talked about this, getting mad at rocks won't make your low function autism go away...
>>2871245I kick every cairn I see, fuck cairns. I go to nature to see nature, not some fuckhead's art project

How to make friends to go backpacking with as a chud literally just too scared to camp alone but I love backpacking
>>2871196>>2871212just move to MA (another mid /out/ state) and join my climbing gym. i'll sail you across the harbor to a pine cove beach forest with fresh mussels, wild boysenberries, tidal bathing, and marsh mud skincare. the rape risk is only like 2% cuz you could scream and multiple houses across a small marsh would hear it and call the cops. all jokes aside, i would murder a baby for a gf who enjoyed doing this.
>>2870756sorry, but I don't hike with racists.
>>2870754join the closest hiking or backpacking or mountaneering club you can find, go on some trips with them, slowly build up contacts and confidence and experience
>>2871612You have no idea.
How do I find a racist /out/ bf who is NOT a gun nut or a weeb?
Apparently I'm not supposed to walk barefoot?
>>2870695you sound like you go around mirrin homeless peoples crusty black feet
>>2870761I live in a good neighborhood. We don't have homeless people. Barefoot is a choice here, but I think it's a choice smart people make. But sure, if the homeless person is a 20-something good looking chick, sure, why not 'mire them.
>>2870695>getting parasites is badasslmao no not reallythere's a very long list of parasites, worms mostly, that love to enter your body through the soles of your feet>b-but it's natural god made me this wayyeah and if you go out into "nature" you discover that literally every animal is riddled with parasitesnot being covered in ticks and full of worms is unnatural but i prefer to stay that way rather than larping as le badass caveman or whatevercavemen wore shoes btw
>>2864241on amazon Sisttke wrestling shoes. they look absolutely normal, high top style and very breathable.they are an excellent barefoot shoe, way more stylish than any other brand I've seen.

>>2871397>They hated him because He told them the truth
>>2871655Actually its the Texans that are the biggest douchebags. Make the most noise and still bitch about how supposeldy great Texas is...then go back.
>>2871367Well, tell us anon. How DOES it feel?
I saw a bear this morning. It was only 50 feet away. It was like my 10th wild bear but my first one close up with nothing between it and me. It ran away.
I don't really remember buying this, and I can fine any others online. Curious who else may still have theirs.
>>2869395Looks cool. Is it still sold somewhere?
beary cute patch you faggot, pls remember where you got it from
I still have mine. Got it here: https://kommandostore.com/collections/patches
does anyone know if the "by endurance we conquer" patch is still for sale anywhere?
>>2871570Vostok Heavy Industries has that patch. He's been on leave since he became a father in 2024.
Sorry if I've just insulted your favorite /out/ location but a few months ago I made a thread with mountains captioned as Appalachian locations and nobody could tell something is wrong, even though one of the pics was from Czechia, others were from Poland and none was actually from Appalachia. To make things even worse, I had to stop myself from using the highest parts of Carpathians cause they just look too stunning to be Appalachia. Basically Appalachia looks like one of these mountain locations I visit because they're cheaper than ones with more dramatic landscape and if I wanted to go on holyday by plane, I certainly wouldn't choose Georgia (Appalachia) over Yosemite or Georgia (Caucasus).But maybe I'm wrong and someone who actually visited Appalachia can tell me why are they truly special?

>>2867132Western North Carolina is one of if not the most beautiful place on earth. The mountains aren't as big as other ranges but there's something very beautiful and mystifying about them. Hiking and shit there is also a lot more accessible than in places like the Rockies for example. The nature there is very accessible, you can kind of just pick anywhere and wonder around. It's very cozy.
>>2871707>Hiking and shit there is also a lot more accessible than in places like the Rockies for example.What do you mean exactly? My nearest trailhead is 5 minutes away. I have dozens of trailheads within 30 minutes.
>>2871719why do people who live in the rockies feel so threatened by the appalachian mountains existing
