>>2722291tell me about topekawhat happens there
>>2722289Nah. California unequivocally has some of the best nature in the entire world and some of the worst people. Having one does not preclude the other.

The property I own, has the edge of a natural pond on it. The pond used to not be on my property at all except during flooding. But the pond has gotten bigger and there's now a shallow cove that's formed on the edge of my property. I've been fishing it, just the issue is my boomer neighbour is claiming ownership over the entire pond and says I can't fish it and said he's given me a trespassing warning. What are my options?
>>2722263Sue him for getting his water onto your property, blocking your access to the dry land underneath. If he won't remove his water and restore access to your land beneath it, he owes you sex.
>>2722263>Until he removed the boundary markers to introduce ambiguity.Yeah, you are definitely going to want a land lawyer and get evidence collected and a proper survey done because this illegal shit and you will get fucked if you try to play this passively.
>>2722263In many states you can’t own water, just access to water. If you don’t need to trespass to reach the water, he has no recourse. Most states put their rules about this sort of thing in their fishing and hunting regulation guides.
>>2722263Traditionally such border disputes are settled with warI recommend besieging your neighbour's property, isolate him from his supply chain (stinger strips outside his mailbox, cut the cables into his house, etc), and starve him outIf that's unsuccessful then launch an attack, seize his home and goods, ransom his life to his family, and take his daughter as your bride to consolidate your conquest
>>2722263Fuck your neighbor. Consult with a lawyer and continue to fish in the pond. Make him spend as much money as you can. Really drag out the court battle to bleed him for as much as possible and then when he loses the court battle countersue for the cost of your court fees. Fuck him. He doesn't own a whole body of water just because part of it is on his land.

I need a lightweight chair and the internet is telling me either the REI chair, the Helinox Zero or the Nemo Moonlight Elite Does anyone have any experiences with these? Which should I get, I want to grab something soon I'm not very big so I considered the REI chair, but I see people complaining about stability Are they just fat? I'm a regular manlet, would the REI chair be alright?
>>2716818The Nemo Moonlite Elite is great, but way too expensive. The groundpad is an excellent touch though. The REI Flexlite Air is pretty good, but it squeezes your ass a little. The Helinox Chair zero is more comfortable than the REI chair, but more expensive.Personally, I'd go with the REI chair. You can always return it and go for one of the other ones if you want. >>2719515This probably weighs 3lbs and will break instantly>>2719564The point of a chair is to get you off of the ground. If I wanted a sit pad, I'd buy a sit pad. Save the crazy creeks for the canoes
>>2720850>This probably weighs 3lbs and will break instantlyit's 2lbs and very sturdy, to my surprise. I can lean right back in it.it's also a tenth of the price of the chairs OP listed.
>>2719515I broke this one after two years (my fault), bough larger one for 30€ this time. How do you carry them? On carabiner strapped to backpack? Inside backpack? Since it's quite large packed, takes up a lot of space in my backpack. Hammock, chair, underquilt, bugnet, tarp, blanket - and my backpack is pretty much full.
Bring a hammock instead. You can sit in it and much more, and it will be lighter.
>>2722031I strap mine to the side with the compression straps. wouldn't fit inside, my pack is only 40L.
>400 mile mountainous trail(lots of miles at 4000-6000ft and 10000ft peaks)>Late spring>Solo>In pretty decent shape >Aiming for 30-35lb Backpack I'm in the preparation fase and trying to decide what shoes do I buy, as of now I either wear working boots of sneakers to go/out/.
Alright, so I bought a pair of Scarpa trail runners, and am wondering wtc some merino ankle socks,with pompoms?Any recommended brands?
>>2720165>ankle supportyikes, I bet you like wearing a collar and a leash and dragging around a big metal ball chained to your legand you paid $250 for it too
Do any anons have recommendations for someone whose feet sweat a ton? I'm looking for something airy and am considering the the Salomon S/LAB ultra 3's but don't know if trail runners are the way. For context I hike quite often for my job in the military and get a ton of blisters from sweat feet in my boots.
>>2719325Had my moabs for two years. I had to replace the laces on mine after a month. Plus I think mine has a hole in the Gore Tex as it got wet inside during my last multi day hike in Tasmania. I'll look for another mid height boot for my next one, good compromise.
>>2721884Apply Gold Bond powder or equivalent. Consider affixing Leukotape where you're blistering as a preventative measure -- it breathes. Never put it on a blister, the adhesive will rip skin off. Wash your feet before bed every night when possible to keep them dry. Wear snug thin running socks under Darn Toughs.I sweat everywhere like the foul animal I am. After two hours movement my feet smell like expensive cheese.
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?
>>2722063Right, I had a similar experience last year where I had to wait a long time for some dumbfucks to climb up stable granite rocks in perfectly dry conditions. Me and this other group were laughing at them and asking why they decided to do this route in the first place. Super annoying and they were dicks as well. One of us should have pushed them off the mountain lol.
>>2719779If you want to fast-track confidence then fall training is the way to go
>Pristine, demanding, natural environment>Install ladders and cables so people not knowing any better can swarm it at the risk of their lives, all for the sake of moneyCrowding of the Alps and lakes is giving me AIDS. I think a terrone even fell to its death from a ferrata to a short while ago.
>>2722253thankfully the mountains on the Friuli side have been left much more "wild" than the rest so you can go there without feeling like you're in a playground, much fewer people too> think a terrone even fell to its death from a ferrata to a short while ago.eh I'm actually surprised that people don't die on those more often to be honest
>>2719779we're only programmed to fear up to a certain heightabove that level it just felt unreal instead of scary
how do you deal with disabilities, thing wrong with you out of your control. bad eyes, joints, anything else that can hinder you?

>>2709414I'm a certified sex addict. Which national park has the sexiest wildlife?

surprised I haven't seen a thread based on this, but seeing as it's probably retarded in 95% of cases I concede that I may be stupid myselfI've taken quite a liking to night hikes. More specifically, nights with full/near full moons with minimal cloud cover. poorfag so no NVGs, but goddamn are the night skies bright when you catch them with good illumination. bright enough that you don't even need a headlamp depending on how thick the veg is.reasons I enjoy them>colder, less effort into layering/heat management when hoofing it hard>quiet>nobody to spook when I walk by in kit (I like the weight)>that midnight-to-3AM atmosphere>that beautiful stillness, the sky full of stars, and the grayscale palettesome hikes I frequent are near enough to town that even if the skies are cloudy, the light from the town is enough to hike without a headlamp. granted, I like these less as I feel less 'lost,' but when I'm needing to blow off some steam it's nice to be able to drive 15min to a trail any night of the week to fuck around a bit.the one downside I genuinely consider is mountain lion, seeing as they are fairly common in my area. I've had a couple run ins, from being stalked by a mother and what I assume were her cubs, to spooking one on the trail (and damn near shitting my pants :) ). this, and the fact that if you don't plan correctly/plan too much, you'll end up with no sleep, as opposed to maybe 5h on a weeknight.
>>2721913I live 1/4 mile from 40,000 acres of county and national park. I've had people drop me off at one of the other trailheads and walked home at night under a full moon. There are mountain lions out there, and unconfirmed reports of lizard men.
I'm going to California for the first time this summer, going to visit some historic mining towns and climb some mountains and hug some redwood trees.Other than the popular tourist traps, what are some lesser known places I should hit along the way for camping and hiking? And I mean real camping, not a gated bus stop full of fat people who bring their whole house with them.
>>2721732No, keep the windows rolled down, now the monkeys are smashing windows of cars driving by and grabbing literally anything out of them, even garbage.
>>2721738Anon, how does that even make any sense.
>>2721366Not sure where in the Sierras you're going, but Bodie is really cool if you're gonna be on the Eastern side. The road up there can be pretty nasty though, gravel that gets really washboarded in the summer, no big deal with a truck or SUV but I'd be hesitant to take a modern sedan up it, especially since there's pretty much no cell coverage.
>>2721366Don't even park your car for five minutes in any city, esp. San Francisco. It will get "bipped" and all of your stuff stolen. I grew up north of there and the only times I've been back were to take the kids to Stinson Beach, where we'd rent a house for a week. Wife and kids would visit San Francisco, but I'd stay at the beach with some wine and weed. Stinson is cool, the neighboring Bolinas is full of bums and billionaires, but really cool, where the locals still rip down the direction signs to it. This area is still the same as I remember it from childhood, grew up there in the 1960s, 70s. The rest of Marin County is a traffic jam, last time I was there. Avoid the weed growing areas, as it isn't really "legal" without massive taxes and restrictions. Most weed grown in CA is destined for out-of-state black markets. Lots of spooky looking tweakers in the grocery store in Garberville, for example. Good luck, have a fun trip, but keep an eye out for trouble.
Oakland has some of the best mountain biking in California. No sarcasm.
I am planting a few san pedro cactus in my garden, it's a beautiful plant. Will it attract law enforcement attention?
>>2717707I ended up doing it. I love my little cacti.
>>2715054I was on a job in florida for a year and rented an apartment. There was a black dude that had, I swear to fucking god, several of these growing in pots on his fenced in first floor "deck" space that were all over 10 feet tall.Someone had to explain to me that dude wasn't a gardener who loved cactus.
>>2716802>The US government penalizes overreachyou must be young
>>2715041My dad, and later mom grew that stuff for the better part of 40 years. My mom still has my dad's original clippings from the 90s growing at her place.Aside from a few stoners most have no idea about this cactus.
>>2715051Bro you don’t understand what liberals are like. I have had code enforcement to my house 17 times and cops twice in the 5 years I started gardening.
Can any of you autists name this boot? It has no identifying markings on it. The label on the tongue has worn off.I found them at a thrift store. The soles are nearly worn through. But they’re extremely light and flexible. It feels like wearing a sneaker. I’d love to buy a new pair.Also general boot discussion. Any suggestions for a lightweight combat style boot?
Why would anyone buy used boots? Yuck. Did you pick up some used underwear or sheets too while you were there?
>>2722151Bought to identify you sperg
>>2721922could be a converse. look at their zip boots.post your used underwear I can identify that too.
>>2722196some Thoroughgood 8 inch lace ups in a round steel toe are good all around boots. a lot of these hiking boots are so gay they'll fall apart rather quickly. at least for me, I'm hard on gear. it pays to have 2 different styles of boots at least so your feet don't get warped around one pair and how they fit. rotate them out for each trip and maybe you find some are better for some outings etc
whoops should have said Danner is another good pair of 8 inch leather steel toes.and of course Sno Seal for waterproofing.
I'm scared of being killed by a grizzly bear while hiking.How do I make sure that never ever happens to me?
>>2707191To avoid bears, stay out of U.S. National Parks. Bears are top of the food chain, not you. They are not afraid. True story:> backpacking in Yosemite NP, California, 1976> black bear country> first thing we see is a bear-destroyed car at trailhead> start walking, everything OK> set up camp> hang food between two trees, using two ropes, food bags at least 12 feet up (this was before bear-proof cans)> bears show up every night, we are sleeping without tents, have flashlights, pots, pans as noisemakers, works every night.> one night we see one bear climbing on the back of another to try to get our food, wished I had a camera with a flash> one day a juvenile bear follows us like a puppy dog wanting a handout. my friend takes a few good pictures, then we shoo it away with loud yelling> of course there are also rattlesnakes every day> get to destination at Tuolomne Meadows campground> hear horror story of aggressive bear stealing all of a party's food, basically ending their trip before it starts> find tranquilizer dart stuck in tree, where the ranger missed a bear, keep it a souvenir (not sure what happened to that, it has been a few decades)Comment too long.

This is my broody hen, who has been sitting on 7 eggs since monday, please say something nice about her :)
>>2721625She cute. OP do you keep quails? I want to get into those because I've been told they're actually decent at apartment growing.
>>2721626
>>2722057It's carotenes, which are various forms of vitamin A. They come from red and orange foods. Red peppers, pumpkins, carrots, yams, ect. It's mostly an aesthetic thing since you get more vitamin A from having a carrot with your eggs then you do from eating eggs with really orange or red yolks, but a lot of the foods that contain carotenes are good for the birds.
>>2722069>quails>apartment growing Maybe you'll have a better experience, but they are way too finicky for apartment growing in my opinion.
>>2721626>>2721627Silkies are based. It's kind of annoying you have to worry about keeping them dry much more than others but they've always been strong with healthy instincts in my experience. Don't have any at the moment but if I ever finish my plans for a secondary paddock + coop attached to the garden I'll definitely get them for garden chickens
Be retardedly humongous. Not a single camp worthy spot.

The Ohio River overflowed its banks.
at least this is a thread not about consoominganyone have any good photos of big rivers they have taken?
>>2717543>>2719277The draining of the Great Black Swamp had nothing to do with killing beavers. Rather, it was logging and the implementation of drainage systems. Your rant is just schizo nonsense.
