Anyone have good fishing book recs?
>>2783573how related to the topic of fishing?i like brautigan's trout fishing in america but it's not really about fishing

Now that I'm out of the military, I'm finally getting back out deer hunting in my home state of Wisconsin for the first time in years - can any anons recommend any public lands up north that aren't shit but aren't overcrowded with retards? I was hoping to stick in the NW part of the state, maybe a county wildlife area with barrens?
>>2783442>military guy without familial or friend connections to land>wants to kill somethingJust re-enlist you sicko
>>2783442If all you had to do was ask, it would all be overrun with retards. Study maps and figure it out for yourself.>>2783448dilate
had a long weekend, did some tasks. wife got the rabbit Warren cleaned out. will use that as casing on top of her garlic bed. Got all of the finished compost turned in for planting in november. built an expasion onto her indoor rabbit hovel & new nesting box for one hopefully due this week.
>>2782942even better; my dad helped my grandmother & grandfather plant the original trees 47 years ago.seperate from the tree project, he also started us 7 giant hibiscus plants from seed, and has found an oak tree sprouted in his yard and potted and tended it for several months in prep of planting here.best I can do in return is send him a few tomato and pepper plants we start each year. well... that and my honest, enthusiastic gratitude aboot the trees & such.
>>2782844Juniper are lovely trees anon. I haven't met a tree in the Cypress/Cupressaceae family I didn't love.
>>2782940>>2783081Heartwarming story OP. Very cool of your dad and you for being grateful. I hope they grow tall, strong, and you can do the same for your kids someday.
>>2783464wait... where am I? I thought this was 4Chan.we are childfree. we plan on giving the farm to our BASED nephews when we die. they have no idea, no one knows. they're kids now, somewhere around 10 and 11 I think. we only see them once a year at christmas. they live in another state, a communist state. we live in a free state. don't care what they do with the farm when we're gone. they can use it or sell it. they must remain BASED or they don't get it.how are my child nephews BASED? good parenting and they took initiative & a genuine interest in American history, documents and conservative ways and ideas. they CHOOSE to learn and understand our constitution & founding Principals.
>>2783525You sound brainwashed
I can’t wait to be surrounded by monoculture GMO Poplar forests.Thanks timber industry!
>>2780815Key word I was citing is monoculture. Odds are if there's a poplar forest around you, it's already one. If it's species diversity you're worried about, it's no worse than pine plantations and good luck to them keeping the undergrowth out. I don't know of a one around here that haven't reverted to mixed hardwood/softwood.
>2781864botdidn't read whatever your gpt made>>2782843It's a bot. No human could be this devoid of coherence but this dedicated to being trite.
>>2783483Poplar is a genus in the willow species and is one of the first trees to grow when a forest recovers from some sort of catastrophic event--they are also a riparian species. They are fast growing but not tall compared to evergreens.In forest succession the willow (poplar in this case) eventually are overtaken by the slower growing but shade tolerant evergreens which shade out the willow and create a taller, much longer lived canopy.I'm not worried about anything I know what the cancer looks like. Horrified, disappointed, but not worried.Logging cartels poison any tree or plant they don't want interfering with their harvest. Most normies have no idea.. goes under the horrified category. I stopped being suprised at how stupid and short sighted greedy boomers are and how little they know or care about forests.
>>2783489>*genus in the willow family
>>2783488>everyone who wont stroke my micropeen is robot!!111kek, imbibe your prescription.
Cant seem to find any discussion on this anywhere so I'll just post it here:What are your thoughts on overalls for going /out/?I fucking hate wearing rucking with shirts that constantly ride up regardless of their fitting and pants/shorts that, when you kneel or bend over expose your lower back. Tucking them into each other also just feels uncomfortable.Something like picrel (2)?Seems perfect for practically all weather right? If it's cold, just wear long-johns underneath and then and only then maybe like some ECWCS cold weather pants and jacket over it.If it's warm then just rock the boiler suit with only regular underwear.No sliding, no exposure of skin, no need for sunscreen and it even looks cool (picrel 1. Maru, from Heavenly Delusion)Why hasn't it been done?
Sounds pretty cool
>>2777406insulated coveralls are usually worn in very cold weatherits too hard to layer down get tall overalls even if youre not tallthey shrink along the length and regulars will give you a wedgie and make it difficult to reach overheadthe biggest difference between a cheap pair of insulated coveralls and a good one is the zippermetal zippers only, plastic is dog shit, plastic will break the first time you bend overa longer zipper is easier to piss out of than one that only comes down to your belly buttonshitting is a pain
>>2782840>shitting is a painYou might need to see a doctor.
>>2777406i have insulated overalls i bought from a military surplus storei love them.
>>2777406I actually buy up surp coveralls when I see them cheap for hunting. Keeps the ticks off me. Normal thickness surp ones are too thick for the summer but great for late summer/fall. The real thin ones can be good for more weather I think but I've yet to really test their durability. You still need to wear something under them; I usually choose underarmor long sleeve shirt and pants tucked into each other, pants tuckedinto socks/boots, underwear dependent on weather. As it gets colder I may put a jacket over them and put some thicker pants/underlayer pants underneath. Problem with getting them is they're hard to find in person and usually pricey to stock up on, especially in camo. I don't trust the Chinese made ones to stand up to use either so that's out of the picture. Metal zipper = good, normal pockets without passthrough to pants under = good, double zipper pull on main vertical zipper = good (you need to pee, remember), underarmor pants with an opening to stick your dick through = good (PITA without a dick passthrough for peeing), etc.>>2777444I generally don't need venting like that but I'm not on a multi-day hike; at most on a 4-10hr hunting trip. I find backpacks can really make your back sweat and/or trap the moisture though. IIRC at least one of my surp coveralls have open armpit vent zips, no net (but easily sewn in).>>2777489>>2780792Try it out. I love them.>>2777622Fuck I wish I could get those in the US (at a non scalped/absurd price).>>2782840Yeah I still wear normal clothes in the winter.
there is no way in fuck that this is not a scam. its probably better than nothing in case of an emergency, but would not want to be drinking from toxic puddles with this.
>>2782858I would be a New York toilet in a plus size ladies store, like say Lane Bryant

>>2781678>>2782879ph of city water changed due to choices made which led to lead coming out of the pipes and govt officials first did nothing to stop the entirely preventable disaster because the city was bankrupt then covered it up while secretly busing in bottled water for themselves and their children.

Anybody been to one of Backcountry's retail stores? REI has gone to shit as everybody knows and I need winter gear, and I live outside LA (about to move away though, hence needing winter stuff) so the store there is doable but driving into LA is always a pain in the ass. Is it worth checking out?
>>2783424>>2783317>I don't live in Montana>please help me make a meme hating on out of state transplantsGod I hate conservative chuds who keep hyping up montana/idaho as "Muh last based conservative refuge" you suburban wannabe cowboy hicks have ruined this state

I moved from washington dc to salt lake city, utah. Thoughts?
>>2783439Slc is a nice town lots of skiing hope you enjoy it anonRemember to drive safely and keep right except to pass! (Nobody on i15 seems to know how to drive there)
>>2783173So I went and checked it out since there was something else I needed nearby anyway. Pretty good store, different brands from REI and they had a really big sale/clearance section with stuff 50-70% off instead of the 30ish that REI usually does, including some nice skis, boots, etc. Staff actually seemed pretty competent too. Smaller than I expected but was more /out/ oriented and less /fit/ than modern REI so they had about the same amount of relevant stuff. >>2783415It is what it is. I've spent the last few years living in a place full of assholes who hate everybody else and especially a traditional-looking white guy like me so worst case I'm used to it. That said people were pretty chill when I talked to them there, actually had a few different people straight up tell me "you seem cool, just don't tell anybody you're from California and you'll be fine here" so I think I'll do alright. Worst case I'm probably leaving after a couple of years anyway like I said.
Life’s been changing in some exciting ways for me recently. I’ve been with an incredible woman from Thailand for a year, and after spending three months there to really understand the culture, we’ve stayed strong. She just landed a job in Langford, BC, and I’ll be working at the dockyard nearby. We’ve also found a place in Langford, surrounded by the natural beauty of Vancouver Island. Since I’ve spent most of my life in Ontario, I’m really looking forward to the outdoor lifestyle here—fishing, hiking, and exploring the forests. For anyone who knows the area, what should I expect? Any tips on diving into the outdoor scene? Can’t wait to make the most of what the island has to offer!
nice bot post
>>2782650>bc>leaving the jeets behindLOL you sure are in for a rude awakening. also fuck off we're full

Which one has the best mountains?
>>2783239fucking retard
>>2783239like where?
>>2783246Just west of Reno is a good spot. North of LV.Another great spot is way south of reno along the Cali border, you can get deep into the sierra mountains and they are comfy as fuckBest part is almost all of it is BLM land so you can kinda do what ever the fuck you want as long as you are not starting fires or cooking meth.
>>2783248thanks anon
>>2773566Utah has the worst mountains, canyons and everything else. I can't wait to get out of this shit state. Arizona on the otherhand, is fantastic
