What kind of music do you guys play around the campfire? I like either electronic or hip hop, the fire actually looks really trippy with the beats
>>2845163>I generally go with a few friendswhite people talk too much...
>>2845176Im black
>>2845179black people talk too much..
>>2845159The farther you are from civilization when you pollute nature with electronic noise, the less likely anyone will hear the gunshot.
>>2845288lol you dork. If you lived in a rural area you'd know there are gunshots all the time and it's only quiet at night.
General thread for freediving and/or spearfishing, since I don't see one mentioning either.My personal questions:I've been thinking about taking a certification course so I can learn to do these things correctly and safely. I'm probably happy just doing the diving, but spearfishing seems like an easy and practical extension. I only casually skindive and rod-and-reel fish at the moment. Does anyone have experience taking such a course?I know I'll need my own gear early on, but each instructor I can find seems to have their own equipment shops, so I imagine they wouldn't be impartial about the quality of other gear on the market. I live on the Pacific coast of the US, so I see that a 7 mm open cell wetsuit is strongly recommended. What good/bad features should I look out for on wetsuits and other equipment? For non-competitive diving, carbon fiber fins are almost certainly not worth the price, right?

Scramble from earlier in September with the gf and some friends. Been wanting to traverse this ridge forever, turned around on it before, this time it just worked out. Crux was an airy traverse of the knife edge ridge between the 2 peaks, very nice day out
>>2845069forgot photo
>>2845069>>2845076Good stuff anon. I think I've looked at this scramble before but it looked a bit scary. Class 4?
>>2845144yeah i'd say class 4 at the crux. We brought 30m of rope, but didn't end up using it. The moves aren't super difficult on the knife edge ridge, it's mainly just that you're doing it above big exposure. Getting down from Markhor peak is a lot of awkward butt scootching and a little bit of awkward downclimbing offwidth crack, but isn't exposed or scary at all. Once you're past the 'Au Cheval' section, its just a few airy moves with good handholds and you're at the summit of needle
I can’t get past this point on the trail. It’s like a 3 or 4 meter foot vertical drop with nothing to grab onto but the rope. I tried to do the thing where you put your feet on the wall and go down backwards but they slipped on the rocks and I only managed to keep myself from falling by holding hold onto the rope with pure panic strength, then I turned back. Is it simply a skill issue or is there a technique to it? I’m also usually the only one on the trail, so I’ve never seen anyone else do it either.
>>2843323This. Guy hasn't watched Bridge to Terabithia.
we're really making threads to teach fat fucks how to go down a rope - pro tip tie it in to a noose and jump off the cliff NGMI
>>2843315As a climber I totally disagree. Getting up is almost always easier than getting down unaided. Lots of folks get themselves into trouble by not thinking before scrambling up something only to realize the down climb will be sketchy af.
>>2843481your a retard stop scaring someone from doing a tiny rope climb with your inability to not stumble off a mountain.
>>2843302Looks like the descent to English Falls off the Parkway
It's officially the first day of autumn!
>>2841598it's winter here, dude.
>>2841598And it's going well. It's mushroom season now. I've already made $95 selling some of them. I guess I'll get a new tent for Christmas!
>>2843298Apple cider is the iconic autumn flavour. Pumpkin spice is a marketing fad.
I want summer back. There are like 2 days in the whole month with any decent visibility and no rain. Soon there won't be any leaves on the trees. Fuck this shithole earth.
>>2841598>heatwaves and drought all summer>suddenly nonstop rainwhat the fuck.
Hello /out/!Have any of you taken any outdoor courses of any discipline? I would be really interested in taking something that would be beneficial to outings like they experience on Alone, purely out of interest and curiosity. I'm a 30+ burger so I feel like I'm kinda too old for NOLS but any experiences you guys have would be interesting. Ran into a guy that did this, he had a lot of great things to say about ithttps://www.boss-inc.com/pages/program/primitive-skills
>>2845039You don't think you would benefit from a condensed session in a group setting? Or that it's just too steep of a cost?
I always tell myself I should do classes for avvy awareness, crevasse rescue and wilderness first aid but never do because I'm shy/pathetically feminine and have no one to do it with. I will continue to hope I never need any of these things, it helps that I only go out alone and don't have anything to live for.
>>2845068I lived in SLC for three years and kept meaning to take a backcountry skiing/avi class but put it off too long and moved.
I'm totally going to take the beginner whitewater kayak course at the Bryson City NC NOC next year.
>>2845041enough to know they are a waste of time and money>>2845066group settings are ESPECIALLY a waste of time and money and solo training is just a cult of personality. its like religious teaching. if you have to pay for it, its probably no good..
Easily the most underrated /out/ state. It's funny how so many people just think Nevada is a desert
As someone who just moved away after 30+ years living all over Nevada, I can promise it's not a great place. It is in fact mostly barren desert, with some nice scenery here and there, and some spooky stuff for people into that, but it all gets old real fast. The north of the state has some nice areas, especially around Reno/Tahoe, Elko and Carson city, but otherwise there's nothing really there, and literally every time I've been out of state I'd wish I lived there instead. Now I do thankfully live somewhere else, and I sincerely hope I never have to go back.
>>2826666That's because its actually just an obliterated sandhole. NM easily mogs the fuck out of it you want an interesting desert landscape, and everyone knows the real reason the government squats on the land there is to strip mine the resources whenever they show themselvesno bueno
>>2842655What the fuck are you babbling about?
>>2842658Wish they would just ban him already
>>2842658You might have brain damage if you can't follow that. He's being extremely literal
realistically speaking if i were to go innawoods and>distill my own alcohol>grow my own tobacco>smith my own firearmswhile living off the grid for the rest of my life how angry would these guys get? i want to live like a settler but there's no free land left.
>>2845080Name one job the governemnt does that isn't stealing from others. Take a second, if you will, and look at the word "government." "Governing" is their primary job. As in regulating, as in stealing. It's in the name. If you don't pay taxes, they put you in jail. They're no differant than gangs, trolls, living underneath bridges waiting to take a part from every traveler who crosses.
>>2845075>I could just take what I want if it wasn't for the government!naw, whatever you think you could just take would have been claimed by some else long before son.
>>2845078I doubt disease was more common among settlers than in urban areas. I also doubt famines and starvation were more common. The reason people became settlers is because the living conditions were preferable
>>2844170bitch TF you talmbout
>>2845097it's just another generic "how I runaway to da woodz!!!" thread, normally the maladaptive daydreamer image would have been posted by now but apparently our "redit" jannies think "You will never minecraft in real life" sounds too close to another "you will never..." truth that infuriates them.
How the hell are you gonna judge me for bringing a generator to the campsite then go sleep in your sleeping bag and tent?
>>2844824Google it
>>2844886NNOOOOoooo the (((STACKERS))) are reel!just look at this same old pickture I keep reposting of a parking lot where white chicks stacked a bunch for clout! (I never actually go outside) But I Know this is RUINING All the parks I'm going to runnaway to some Day!kek yeah the rockcucks were a special kind of super autism.

Thread for discussion of out door activities in israel
henlo
>>2844947By Allah this thread is shameful and disgusting. You should be stoned many times. The camping in Oman is better in every way. Tell me have you camped with Danpl ever?
>>2845343>Tell me have you camped with Danpl ever?I don't know what that is
>>2845495By Allah you are very disgusting. Many curses and unfortune for you. You are camping in the Israel city state! That is not to camp! That is to live in a city and camp in front of the house! Have you ever hiked? Have you ever dived? Why do you squander the Allah's gifts?
>>2846379We have nature and I've done all those things except dive, but we do have coral reefs in the red sea so mabey one day I will go scuba>Why do you squander the Allah's gifts?אשְׁהַדּוּ אַן לָא אִלָא הָא אִלָּא אֶלְלָּה, וַאֲשְׁהַדּוּ אַנָּא משה רַסוּלּוּ אֶלְלָּה.
Which grade of trail do you like the most?
>>2843965I literally don't care as long as it's not paved and it not a talus field. I go hiking to appreciate the views, not the trail.
>>2843965Moderate, I like a good scramble so I can LARP as a climber.
>>2843965Easy. I like to enjoy my surroundings when I'm on a hike. Anything harder than easy and you're constantly staring at your feet and huffing and puffing. It makes it harder to enjoy the nature. But I also don't like being surrounded by normies, and I do like venturing into the wilderness.
>>2844160Based Prairie Walker.
moderate because of the bunda
What's a sleeping bag you recommend?I slept two weeks in Norway this summer with a random 5°C sleeping bag, and it wasn't that warm.I'm planning to go sleep on some mountains this autumn and I want to get comfortable with lower temperatures.
I just spent the night in my 10°C sleeping bag and i had a blanket on top. It went down to -5°C and it was toasty. Get whatever you can afford it's about going out not buying gear, you'll always find a way to make it work.
Got a 10* quilt, overfilled, and a 7 r value rated big agnes sleeping pad. was just in the sierras last week, temps got down to 25*ish and windy and I was so comfy and warm in my tent I had to take my sweats off and just had my boxers and socks on. Also helped having my dog with his dog quilt on under the quilt as well. my friend however was so cold he had to steel my closed cell foam mat I originally brought for my dog (r value of like 2) because the shit he rented broke kek. I don't care if my sleeping bad is a lb heavier and a little bulky, shit is hilariously comfy and I won't have it anyway anymore.
>>2843459At zero humidity, right? Even then... 15°C below the comfort temp is a fucking lot.
>>2843260agree, spend the money once on a top shelf bag also get 20d outer fabric and 10d inner as you will lose feathers otherwise. >>2844647ultralightfags never cease to amaze me. You want durable shit, comfy then fucking light in that order. What good is a piece of fucking equipment if it breaks what good is a piece of equipment if its not comfy and then you get the lightest shit you can afford. Synthetic bags are really cheap 950 or so grams for a 20 degree bag at $250, get a sleeping pad that wont fucking pop with 70d bottom, i mean its just amazing how many fucking dudes get these ultralight sleeping pads overblow them and they pop. Ask me "heyyy man? you got any sleeping pad patches??? broooo" Of course i was there once, but learned my lesson pretty fucking quickly also always underfill your sleeping pad
Another pro tip is to boil water and seal it in bottles such as nalgenes , wrap it in a hiking sock, and throw them into the bottom of your sleeping bag. They will stay warm for hours and in morning have some ready water. Obviously the seal needs to be perfect but slept outdoors in 5 degrees weather in Maine last winter on a Katahdin summit trip and this helped
Hey any other leafs here see this? Have you tried decoding the poem? Or hiking around? https://treasure.northernminer.com/ I could do with another 217 one-ounce gold coins.
Why put 217 coins in one place in the 2nd largest country on earth? Spread them out a bit and let more people participate. Nobody's driving a week on a hunch.
>>2844770>Nobody's driving a week on a hunchy-yeah, haha...
>>2844770There's a bunch of smaller prizes of 6 one ounce coins being released every month, presumably in each province.
Went looking for a mudguard and this shitter was in the front of the store. Who buys these?
>>2844855People with lots of money and little brain.
>>2844855High-end bicycles assume a high-end clientele. Serious cyclists have a preference between SPD and eggbeaters or whatever other clipless solution are our there. If you already have shoes for a specific pedal system you aren't gonna buy a bike with the wrong type of pedals.
If you buy shoes for a mountain bike you’re gonna break your fucking neck
Anybody here into Druidry?It seems to be the official /out/ religion. It's all about worshipping rivers, trees and everything else that pertains to nature.Just recently they celebrated the Autumn equinox, which is the beginning of Autmn when the Earth's axis lay perpendicular to the sun.A most fascinating religion.If you aren't a part of it, why haven't you taken the druid pill yet?
>>2841967True to form native Celtic polytheism was absolutely stupid. It was littered with inconsistencies and hardly cohesive from one village to the next. The only constants were the Druid class - which fell in a blend of their priesthood and nobility, and their attitude towards animism - which often meant creating a god or wight for every mundane thought that came across a villager's mind.
>>2842526dang daddy what’s up
>>2842526yeah dabble maybe, if you gave a shit that would be on a natural cord not some Chinese drain chain
>>2843748tbf large scale consistency in polytheism is only really beneficial for central controlling powers
>>2841915Careful bud. Youre going to get a lot of semitic people posting how terrible euro polytheism is. Theres more people on this site that hate on european paganism than they hate middle eastern abrahamic religion
