Hey frens, im not much an /out/ person, but I took my daughter by the coast and we saw some people fishing into the Atlantic and she thought it looked maybe fun. I probably havent fished since I was a kid, but id like to start and show her how. I dont want to invest a whole lot, and want to avoid a spinner reel for her, cuz she wouldnt be using one when she's older.Im in new england, not far from the ocean, Walden pond, a lake, some rivers.Im coming to you guys for advice because i dont trust a google search. All advertisements. I figure some of you guys are anglers. Please, aside from a license, what do I need to get started?
>>2876459No op but I've heard that Palomar is one of the best knots to know. I wasn't taught it so I don't use it, I almost always use improved cinch knot, but should I teach it to my kids as their main knot?
>>2876314She'll be spinning around the cock carousel anyhow
Jesus OP, buy a cheap ass 20 dollar rig and start with practice casting in the yard. She might thinks it sucks after 5 minutes and not even want to take it further. Stop trying to buy her a new BMW when she hasnt even started drivers ed.
>>2877269Imagine the kind unloved loser it takes to make a post like this. Really pathetic.I’ll pray for you.
>>2876276>want to avoid a spinner reel for her, cuz she wouldnt be using one when she's olderWere you referring to a spincast reel?
im 24 and might inherit a farm and house soon, what do i do with it? it used to have horses, cows, chickens, etc, they grew crops in a greenhouse, huge storage barn for machines, several garages for cars, a cabin to rent out for tourists (we get a lot of tourists here in the summer)my grandparents own it, but they are getting old and cant take care of it anymore, they said they are thinking of selling it but offered i take it instead. they estimate they might live there for 1 to 7 more years before they sell it or give it to me. i have 0 farming experience but im willing to learn, i'd probably start off with something easy (chickens?), i love cats so maybe i could be a cat breeder? not sure how economically viable that is. or maybe i just live there and look for a job

>>2877823L Take. This man is a representative of either Tel Aviv or the Freemasons trying to get people to willingly destroy their inheritance so it all falls into corporate hands.Don't listen to him OP, become a good hard working person and try to really build something with your life that future generations will admire you for centuries from now. You have endless opportunity to do something with what you've been given, so truly make something of it rather then just indulging in your own self absorption.

So I was on an anon walk in a forest at night about ~30 minutes walk away from the nearest road, on a path I knew very well. There's a spot where trees are rather young, short and densely packed, creating a completely dark zone for a few minutes of walking. When heading towards it I've seen what appeared to be a yellow round light, about 30 yards ahead, like a reflection in a scope, or dim yellow flashlight, but the round glass like reflection was the only thing that could be seen, area around it wasn't lit. It was visible for about 2 seconds and it just disappeared. I've never seen anything like it around here, and the light seemed to be obviously caused by a human - someone was there in this dark zone. I've stopped, stepped to the side of the path and listened for footsteps for about 30 seconds - not a single noise, it was dead silent. I took a leak, returned to the path, and suddenly I had a cold shiver down my spine, a sudden instinct to GTFO. So I turned back and GTFOed quickly, looking behind me every 10-15 seconds, and listening for any noises from behind me. I was walking very fast, almost running. After about 8 minutes someone ~150 yards behind me turned on a very bright white flashlight, like a flood-light. So someone was following me for ~8 minutes at a very fast pace, at night, while trying to not make noise.I'm not sure wtf was that encounter. Some hunter hunting for deer?
>>2877352TL; DRalso youre a chickenmy best defense is getting an errection when I should feel something like sadeness, happiness or fear. I just get hard instead. Do that. Then drop your pants. Now the guy is innawoods with you, not the other way round.
>>2877352Update: There was a boyscouts-like camp in the area and they were playing "mystery games" in the forest at night, so almost certainly it was them. Explains everything
>>2877361serious question, are you illiterate? when is the last time you read a book?>>2877625wtf are mystery games
>>2877625>"mystery games"Good way to get your ass shot.
>>2877657They posted notices all over nearby entrances to the forest to:>if you see anything weird, abandoned or man-made, please do not touch it, we're having mystery games in the region and you might spoil fun for some kids if you misplace objects that are part of the gamesThey've painted eyes, hands, different symbols on tree trunks, placed colored sticks on the ground, built a small stick-shelters-village etcI don't know the details but it looked like it was for 12-16 year olds

>>2876557CounterpointIt feels niceYou might like the way it looksYes, it's borderline LARP, but frankly, who doesn't do that? Most people out there larp as wilderness explorers in their overpriced WPB jackets even if they just walk their dog in fair weather, some people larp as old-timey hunters or farmers in their wool jackets.And yes, it DOES breathe better than most other materials. The moisture related properties of wool are not replicated by either synthetic polymers or cellulose based fibres. (I guess silk might be similar, but that's obviously not an outerwear option.) Which is btw. the reason you like wool baselayers as well. They're covered in kind of polymer, but it's ridiculously thin and water permeable, so the properties are mostly retained.

Is the arcteryx alpha sv worth it? It’s on sale with a great discount but I feel like arcteryx is low quality these days so it never comes across my mind to purchase their products. Looking for a jacket to use for mostly moderate mountaineering with some technical climbs. Not sure it’s worth choosing over the rab latok alpine gtx pro I’m looking at.

I live in a small valley in the alps, i will keep checking people's windows at night because it makes me feel so dreamy and alive. Much like when you used to go on a school trip early in the morning and you felt really weird, like when it rained the day before. I need to. I need that freedom of wandering without judgment as children do but without the fear you had when you were looking for dangers in the night. Every house it's like a little closed world. Aren't cats lonely to sleep alone? I stopped to stand near a cat because it felt depressing. This reminds me of yellow lights.
I love the night time vibes too Anon

Good way to identify tree species in my area(northern VA) for people that cant read books? I bought the Audubon field guide for north eastern trees but it doesnt help me at all. Theres like 500 trees or something in that book idek where to start or really how to use it, i think books just aren't for meWhats the next best way to identify and retain the info i learn?
>>2877367They get their mom to do it for them.
>>2877366use picturethis, its a app the datamines you that you take a picture of a plant and it tells you what it is
>>2877366Look at leaves. Easiest way. Just take a picture of a tree, match its leaves to a picture in a guide book. (Try to get full color ones.)
>>2877367I like shapes, always been really good with them>>2877378Dont want datamining apps buy appreciate the suggestion>>2877387This actually gives me a good idea. Ill make my first tree leaf scrapbook. That way ill have all the leaves up close and personal, making it more likely to retain identification info
>>2877411Good on ya lad. No shame in learnin'. Hope you find lots o' nice trees to identify.
This is a serious question. I have some land to clear for fruit bushes and fruit trees, and will be milling the larger logs into timbers for other projects. But, I plan to get a chain flail type chipper shredder to to turn all the leftover slash into mulch and compost for the fruit. The land has a lot of raccoons who love to destroy berry bushes. I'm wondering if anyone here has experience putting dead raccoons through a chipper shredder to add nitrogen and minerals to their compost. I'm guessing I'll be making around 4 or 5 tons of mulch and have anywhere from 80 to 120 raccoons to add to it. If anyone has tried putting raccoons or comparable mammals - jackrabbits, beavers, coyotes, etc. - into woodchippers I'd like to hear about your experience.I'd rather not bury dozens of whole carcasses in my compost pile, and if shredded I assume the raccoon material would compost faster and mix in better. And yes, during fur season I'd save the pelts - unfortunately most of the shooting and trapping would occur during the summer months since that's when they'd be after my berries and plums.
>>2876972Found the glowie
>>2876972Theres a pickup location and a destination. How and when the truckers get there is left upto them.This isnt a secret.I guarantee truckerfag can back me up on it.
>>2876162The practical answer is to just put the racoons in your wood chip piles.It seems counter-intuitive at first but fresh animal carcasses are actually the thing that wood chips need most in order to actually be compost.
>>2876162If it can handle wet woody brush mixed with 2 inch wide branches, it should be fine.I don't know why you're bothering. Just burry the racoon corpses. Shredding them makes raw hamburger that is breeding mass for flies.
>>2876203I'm a land surveyor and was contracted to measure the tallow drain network at a JBS processing plant. Pile of rotting carcasses were the least offensive part of the day. Massive tanks of "hot blood" "cold blood" "rendering" etc. Tallow doesn't flow at 2% so it was difficult to get inverts of those pipes. I don't know how the Somali and Hispanic workers do it. The next month I had to perform a topographic survey of the manure settling ponds. The acrid smell of sulfur in the mixing manholes was awful, worse still is that a few died in the very manholes I measured months earlier. The milk factory was the third of my bovine-product surveying trifecta, and that was a walk in the park compared to the others.

this seems retardedI can't believe it wouldn't be better to have individuals walk with their buckets, for a couple few reasons.1)No "weakest links"2)Weak links can still carry smaller buckets3)diff size buckets can be doled out to those who can handle that size4)you don't need (distance/bucket-passing distance) number of people.5)even a mild steady walk of 2.5mph seems faster than untrained retards passing buckets.6)not everyone has two good arms to pass buckets (OK, maybe not everyone has two good legs to walk)7)MAYBE it could be more efficient to pass buckets with body rotation, but seems barely and mostly not really, since people are used to walking more than passing buckets.Thots?
it was a military thing iirc, soldiers go slightly faster while also using significantly less energy. probably you are right, untrained people are mucj netter off just walking.also i hate the fact that people who try to be "helpful" and push themselves in line arent just told to fuck off even though at best they do nothing and at worst they drop all the water everywhere (obviously total buckets per minute is the same, x buckets are still being picked up and placed, the only difference is drop chance)
>>2877452Your hands are soft and it shows. Chaining stuff is way faster if you have enough people to cover the distance or at most take 1 or 2 steps between. They’re doing it wrong though. Every other person in the chain should be facing the inside of the chain that way you don’t have to twist back and forth. >SageA thread died for this retardation.
>>2877452Nice cuck mask, I'll just grab the water hose and siphon.
Bucket brigades were used to fight fires in towns for thousands of years.You use less energy by not walking but also have a momentary pause between buckets for muscles to recover- similar to how a heart can beat for a hundred years without tiring.
>>2877452How is this /out/ or relevant?Also OP is retarded: It is very obvious that handing a bucket to the next guy expends far less energy than walking. Especially on unsuitable terrain. Those guys will simply last longer, require less calories, be faster and even risk less injury. Which all again just boils down to more water for a given amount of time.

Athens, GreeceI love searching for feral/urban wildlife as I travel
Does anyone have any good tips on how to find bones? I live in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by forests and plenty of wild animals, yet I rarely find any remains. I have a small collection that I'd love to expand, but it takes quite a long time. Are there any universal spots in forests (such as clearings, deeper woods, etc.) where you're almost guaranteed to find bones?
>>2874788I thought this was about hunting with a bone as a bludgeoning weapon, to LARP as a caveman
I have found various bones and skulls before, i havent set out to find them purposefully but of I did I would research which local species have cool skulls then go on inaturalist and look for sightings, habitat regions and seasonality and go from there
>>2874788I walked a considerable distance to look for bones. I wouldn't know how to guarantee finding them, but covering large areas increases your chances.
Tie some chicken wings to a few bones and teach your dog to find them. Same strategy as deer sheds.
>>2874788You Fool, your local burial site would have lots of it. How did you not think about it.
