Where did I take this picture today, are you able to get the exact location? It shouldnt be to hard. Post orginal pictures of your recent outings that you took and if you did not go on any recent outings, think about why you keep making excuses instead of just going out even if only for a couple of hours on a small hike.When coming back to this board it feels like 80% is just larpers. There are almost no original pictures taken anymore and 50% is gear threads. lets try to change that and post real pictures that you took.
>>2871005sorry i already post all my pics on /flag/ because with regional flags it's double the fun
today i led an expedition to my suburban backyard, hiking a couple hundred feet through grassy terrain, with a total elevation gain of an inch or two above sea level. it was pretty intense, and i'm glad i was able to make the trek back to the house afterward. thankfully, i packed a tarp so i didn't die of heat stroke out there.
Would you? Have you lived in one, built one, or simply stayed overnight? Explain yourself.
>>2860917Walnuts are great, but be careful where you plant them. They release a chemical that suppresses the growth of other plants near them. Don't plant them right next to where you'd lie to grow a garden, for example.
>>2860947Never plan on what you will do with things that you are in line to inherit. The owner may live way longer than expected, they may sell it before they die, etc. Make your plans under your own steam--anything inherited is just a bonus.
>>2861781Was the building abandoned? What country is this in?
>>2860564It looks... rusticPersonally I would want a bit more for a living space.

Hello frens,Got myself a nice saw and had a blast using it in the forest. But all the wood was used for a fire, which got me thinking - I could lash some basic furniture like a chair or a table.Do you guys have some nice designs to share that would be doable in a bush? Lashing with a string/rope would be preferable, don't want to litter nature - my only recluse from people
Found some designs on old websites
>>2869372The SAS Survival Guide has some designs iirc
>>2869238My buddy made a bench off my hiking trail in my forest.For the "legs" he used 4 saplings that were still in the ground and it made it very stable. (Have to constantly fight back the forest or the trail disappears so we have to cut down trees every year just to keep it open).It was just something that I hadn't thought of- finding 4 trees properly spaced to build.off of instead of free standing loose timber.
You can use a 7$ chinesium auger thing to make chair legs & ribs for ladders and such - you use the tube at it's end as a lever and to check diameter of sticks. As a bonus you get sawdust for kindling. Vidiyow bilou is in Slouvek, but it illustrates the point from 3:30 onward.https://youtu.be/u4aJE5-P8QU?si=nGoM7J9SecSvsqNi

What's the single best outdoor tool and why is it the axe?
>>2866100is that a fucking gmaul lol
>>2867079Couldn't agree more. Most of dead trees around me aren't even thick enough to be worth splitting while camping. My go to right now is a Billhook and Saw combo - gets shit done fast and well, while hatchetlets are larping in the corner
>>2866127>american education
>>2867913You cant pound in wedges with a machete
>>2871139you can carve out a mallet to pound wedges with a machete. checkmate.
I'm feeling unreasonably angry and cooped up, should I go biking or is that going to make me more amped up?
>>2870995do what bike enthusiast do when they feel angry and cooped up: use grinder
>>2871002kek
>>2871002I always wondered why they loved sitting on those skinny, hard black seats as they ride. Always looked unpleasant to me. Now it all makes sense...
My e-bike arrives today
>>2868903What if I'm a 5'4" twink and I'm just cruising for other closeted homosexuals on ebikes?
>>2864696what even is the point of an e-bike? is it way faster than a regular bike? bikes are already insane in terms of energy efficiencyyou bought it for speed, right?
>>2864707boomers can't pedal, they're piratically invalids>>2864788if you can bike on it, it's not a trail
>>2864696I thought about getting one to shuttle myself between trail heads via bike + car. doing out and backs got old, and if i use my regular bike I'd just wear myself out before the backpacking starts.
>>2870932>if you can bike on it, it's not a trailyou're a retard
Currently doing a 1000km thru hike thru Israel, I started in the south f the country near the Egyptian border and am slowly makeing my way north
>>2870953Did you cross the Red Sea on foot and eat manna?
>>2870954I started at the shore of the red sea so I did not have to cross it, and on the trail I have mostly been eating canned tuna, couscous, eggs and chicken kabanos, recently I have begun carying powdered milk and makeing box Mac n cheese, I also have been mixing in dryed mash potatoes and various powdered soup broths for flavor, off trail on the sabbath for instance I go into near by towns and find some one to host me, their I eat real food
>>2870953Are you the 6 figure job guy with a loving wife and 3 kids they keep talking about?
>>2870953How? The country is only like 500km long.
>>2871051No>>2871125The trail zig zags
thoughts?
>>2868806I have house sparrows at my apartment complex that keep trying to nest in the radiator of my bedroom AC unit. I used to think birds were nice, even idyllic; but hearing them a few feet away at 5a, 6a, and 7a every morning for months on end while your neighbor puts out bird feed is a brutal experience. Really most of my experiences with birds are related to being annoyed; taking food, making noise, being aggressive, shitting on stuff..We once went backpacking where the trailhead was at the base of a ski slope. At 4am, the whole crew was woken up by a woodpecker who thought the outdoor PA system megaphone was a good place to do a little pecking. Of course, by a little pecking I mean the bird went for ~30mins until we were throwing sticks near it. 20min later, that sly dumbass was right back at it
thoughfs? looks like an ancient chink painting
>>2868819you can always try a scarecrow or actually domesticating them, long term

Is a hunting backpack overkill for someone who wants to go thru-hiking?I was looking at Exo Mountain backpacks specifically. I will be doing some future hunting trips so I was hoping to be able to have one backpack for both situations, but a lot of people I've spoken too said I should get something smaller for solely backpacking.Opinions, /out/?
>>2870375Flextrek Whipsnake 37,000,000,000,000 or you may as well not be hiking
>>2870375Not that its overkill but thru hiking wants a balance of comfort and weight saving.4-5lb for a backpack is a little high when you're planning on doing 15-17 mile days.If you must have that pack just be ready to make weight saving cuts elsewhere, like bringing 5 days of food vs 7 days, or spending a lot on lighter tent/clothing combinations.I have the Osprey Atmos 50 which is around 4lb and I shaved weight from everything else to keep my pack weight low for the PCT.
>>2870375It's the wrong type of backpack
>>2870375I want a pack like the collapsed pic on the left except thats as big as it gets. Long and narrow. Extends up to or past the head. Doesnt extend far away from the body. Good waist belt.
>>2870375The k4 is a great hunting back, and it doesn't feel heavy when loaded up so I would say go for it but if possible wait for Black Friday. Exo only does one say a year and that's it. the 7200 you posted is also way too big, you will never fill it unless youre hiking Alaska for a month and are loaded up with puffys. the 5000 is better suited for just about every scenario
if you hunt, what kind of deer caller do you use?
>>2866457I don't. I listen, thats what no one else did.
>>2866457>these are the people that destroyed the roman empire and conquered all of europe for a whilewha da faaa
>>2866457If it hits the back of your throat when you use it, you aren't using it as a deer caller.
>>2866457dead silence
>>2866457none. Western hunting is big open desert, you need to hike, track, glass, and maneuver to a good shooting position if you spot something.
You are in the middle of a huge state forest, several days of walking away from civilization.Suddenly, you come across this structure. What do you do?

I'm planning a first time camping trip next monthI'm going solo and backcountry hiking in middle of Ontario, Lake Superior provincial park. Watched hundreds of videos and read hundreds of guides on camping so I'm confidentwish me luck bros
>>2868488Break a leg
>watched hundreds of videos >read guides on campingNone of this shit means anything. Do a smaller overnight trip somewhere before full sending it on a big backpacking trip. Test your gear. Practice pitching your tent. Try sleeping with your setup. Test your shoes on a long distance hike. Watching how-to guides is not enough
>>2868488>first time camping>I'm going solo listen to this guy >>2868558that way it's not actually "your first time"
did OP die?
>>2870930nah I'm still alivegoing there next week
If you're going car-camping you are obligated to use your house-on-wheels as part of your camping setup.I'm thinking of getting some of that mosquito netting with the weighted bottom to make the trunk into a pop-up camper. There's more than enough room to sleep.Rain will require a full tarp from the roof back, but that's easier.
>>2867266>why is that? I mean, bring a tent perhaps?Why bring a tent when you brought a house on wheels.I like integrating transportation with shelter.
>>2864840Get a used hearse.
>>2865032that's because tents are for tourists a hammock mogs your bed's mattress
>>2868335Or just... a wagon... for the living
>car camping means literally sleeping in your carIs it a millennial thing?
