>go to nature reserve>place is actually an old farmstead from 20+ years ago>meadow is an old overgrown field>wetland is a pond created when a small stream was dammed>forest has an open canopy and diverse understory because it was regularly thinnedWhen will we get finally over this whole "REEEE LEAVE NO TRACE!!!" shit? None of these habitats would have existed without prior human modification, otherwise the area would be mediocre overgrown woodland that we already have everywhere and supports less species. It's clear that we are able to make positive changes to the local ecosystem so why aren't we doing it more. The idea that nature is hecking perfect and we have to leave it alone is just agencies sounding virtuous while they sit on their asses doing nothing and wasting our tax dollars. That's why I don't really give a shit if their funding is being cut.
>>2870856Good morning saar.
what is it you want to do so bad? Leave beer cans in nature? Chop down trees? How is it helpful if random people start making "positive changes"
>>2872146>>2872155INSANE seethe lmao
INSANE sneed lmao
>>2870856that's not what leave no trace means
are there any other /out/ experiences that can compare with being inside of a hollow wave?
>>2873152well even if you were a coastchad surfer guy you wouldn't be enjoying the ocean every day. it's only really 'good' like 1/10 times you try to surf. it can be regularly fun but not 'good'. and you often have other commitments that mean you can't even be there on the good days and you just have to hear about it from the unemployed trust fund retards who get to surf every day

>>2871884nice piss tube

It's a beautiful sight.I just went to the countryside for a while.
I have another pictures.
Did you put in for a permit this year?
>>2868172explain?A guy comes up to your tent at night and asks for permit, then you just dribble your lips?What about the little trail-janny cuck shacks right on the trail, where they are going to check your gear. I always assumed that's what would happen.But you're acting like nobody is there, and there's nobody to check your permit off? Is this the case? I am scummy enough to cheat the system if I will not get consequences.
>>2868193rainier, and mt baker both have large glaciers. I think rainier is one of the most glaciated mountains actually or something.
>>2868789Both of those are in the Cascades.
>>2862612>permitI can do whatever I want
>>2868788>A guy comes up to your tent at nightThis sounds like a good way to get shot. That's probably why nobody does that.

Where do you go fishing?
good trout spot
>>2872232this looks like Brazil
There's a snobby and cunty "sportsman's" club (gun and fishing club) in my hometown who *think* they own a particular pond because their property encircles about 70% of it.However, the pond has an entire bank that's public property, and several culverts under a highway that feed into adjacent ponds and marshes.These fucks are notorious for calling the cops and wardens on anyone who fishes from the public bank, and god help you if you take a kayak or canoe on the pond (they don't own the pond, they own the land up to the edge of the water only). They will threaten to "use you for target practice".The fun thing is they spend tens of thousands stocking the pond with fish every year or two, and just can't handle the fact that the opposite shore is open to public fishing and the pond beyond the culverts are totally open to fishing. I sneak through the swamp and fish trout and pike and nobody is the wiser.
>>2870442Bad names, the lakes aren't even dick shaped
why does it seem like all you people want to go out and be “in le nature” but don’t give a single fuck about preserving ecosystems or native biodiversity? You feel entitled to go out and be in nature and treat it like your personal fucking playground, damaging the ecosystem and demanding roads and trails be paved through the wilderness so you can “heckin enjoy it”? And then go home and continue to fuel the 6th mass extinction with your destructive consumerist habits? Anyway, I planted some Texas native wildflowers today to help the declining pollinator population in my area. What did you do?
>>2843470People ITT really seem to lack the ability to self reflect and admit to their own failings. Sure third world is awful but there is truth in that 1st and 2nd world aren't far behind. Pride is a hell of a drug.
>>2871102it's ok anon, maybe someday you'll be rewarded. for me, i thought i found 100 dollars once - nope, just a fake bill with a picture of trump instead of benjamin. or you'll run into some jewelery.. and some meth? not smoking that shit, that's for sure. my personal favorite find while cleaning was a baby blue jay i raised for a little bit.
>>2871402What is their end goal, though? How is "fixing the climate crisis" through technology worth it if the price is to destroy nature (i.e. what makes the planet beautiful) an turn earth into a concrete ball with electric cars?The green shift is a scam and just the newest way of demolishing and exploiting nature for profit — a "fuck you I got mine" on a global scale…I don't know what to do, because, as you say, neither side of the political spectrum are doing anything to protect the little that's left. I'm attempting to go all absurdist about it, but it's not easy…
>>2868624Is that supposed to mean something?
>>2837495>have a really unique 40m hill/rock nearby, a natural formation that's been there since the last ice age, beautiful nature spot with its nooks and crannies in the middle of a city area>over the last 5 years, the area is treated like a lawless campsite, trash like in OP's pic everywhere, dicks spray painted on the 20,000 year old rock formations, cans and glass shards everywhere, new piles of ash and charcoal appearing, never cleaned up.>It's a really prominent immigrant area.>>2846163Whites also invented garbage disposal. And they seem to be the only ones using it. Next you are gonna say blacks shooting whites with guns manufactured by whites is white people's fault >>2837944Kill yourself
Why don't people on reality shows know how to strike a ferro rod? I figured it out at age 10 with no instructions. You use edge trailing, full contact strokes at a 45 degree angle to throw a shower of sparks. You don't smack the edge of the knife / striker on it at only one contact point.You'd figure they would watch a youtube video or even pick one up for $2.99 at the hardware store and practice before going on tv.Survivor has been on for 50 seasons and they still don't know.
>>2872536I used the fireplow method with your mother last night
>>2872538It is ironic that you have said this because you will soon be feeling a burning sensation in your genitals until you visit a doctor.
>>2872546Idk what the implication here is. Did OP's mom have an STD, or did OP set his dick on fire with his fire starting skills?
this really needed its own thread
TFW you yank a shot, spend 20 minutes looking for it and decide to wait the extra 15 for the glow to kick in edition.
Found a berg while I was hunting down my hex
I was hiking with my dog the other day and he got loose at one point and ran off. I spent a good amount of time off the trail looking for him and stumbled upon this strange little device. Any ideas was it is?
>>2872374>>2872382i assume it was nailed to a tree? if so, its probably just a survey marker, ifrd or whatever>>2872392its very clearly not a tngm80, you blind mother fucker
>>2872400No shit its not a mine.Its a thin little tag.Jeez...nobody has a sense of humor anymore.
>>2872374If this post is real and not bait, you're fuck OP. That's a garloid attractor. Meaning you were in an area with lots of garloid eggs. You probably brought them back to your home unknowingly, as they are microscopic. In about two weeks your home will be infested with juvenile garloids(which are far more aggressive and toxic than adults.) Nice knowing ya pal.
>>2872374Its a geolocator beacon for a drone strike.That tree really pissed someone off.
>>2872431I laughed
Post sexy looking knives, tools, new, old, used, abused, modded, etc. it doesn't matter, as long as wood and metal touch each other, I just want to goon at them.Pic rel is very fresh from my mini collection
I wanted to give a nice knife away to my brother, he didn't want it so i dug it down. 5th knife i dig down in the forrest, all of them wood and metal with leather sheaths ofcourse, i would never dig down plastic or other such trash. If my Brothers and father think they are trash and don't want it i think they can rot underground in the forrest, they only offend me, i do not want to look at them, they only shame me. 3 where 90, 1 was around 120-180, the one i dug down tonight was also around 120, one was around 50. I had a lot of knifes i wanted to give away and if my family think they are trash i think of them as offenders and they are with me only to shame me, the forest can have them. Is this retarded?
>>2871893>outdooor use and abuseThis has always been around, though. I think it's more the internet-driven meme of >>2871874 combined with knives being considered disposable, or easily acquired.
>>2871918You are burying knives in the woods?I keep all mine in a drawer.
>>2871893>because knife for stabby stabby doesn't need to be strong. knife for outdooor use and abuse needs.https://iknifecollector.com/profiles/blogs/here-is-nessmuks-bookShut up consoomer>"A word as to knife, or knives. These are of prime necessity, and should be of the best, both as to shape and temper. The "bowies" and "hunting knives" usually kept on sale, are thick, clumsy affairs, with a sort of ridge along the middle of the blade, murderous looking, but of little use; rather fitted to adorn a dime novel or the belt of "Billy the Kid," than the outfit ofthe hunter. The one shown in the cut is thin in the blade, and handy for skinning, cutting meat, or eating with. The strong double bladed pocket knife is the best model I have yet found, and, in connection with the sheath knife, is all sufficient for camp use"
I have access to an unused plot of land that is somewhat close to where I live. It's near a public space I am also poor as shit and would like some reliable free vegetables. What's stopping me from planting bamboo (Sasa kurilensis, it's supposed to be resistant to frost and would thus be fine with the polish climate year round) large amounts of that unused plot and harvesting bamboo shoots? The idea is that I'd come there every once in a while with a shovel and dig some up, I don't want to actually garden I just want it to grow largely by itself and i'd just harvest it sometimes.
>>2871994Bamboo takes a couple years to establish, especially your Sasa species which I'm not even sure is edible. Look into the Phyllostachys species. They take about 10 years before they reach full height (if you plant from a small rhizome division). And the shoots are only available during the spring.>>2872005"Invasive" is a meme especially considering bamboo can't even reproduce by seeds and relies on humans to spread it. Yeah no shit if you plant it in your 1/4 acre suburban plot you're going to have issues. And then you city fags ruin it for the rural people by banning it.
bamboo shoots are harvested in China where the weather is completely different. their bamboo is 6 inches across at the base and the fresh shoots are absolutely delicious stir fried. If you think your bamboo is going to grow this way, you're retarded. it's going to be a dense thicket of 1-2" extremely tough shoots with no food value.
>>2872001>implying boars wont come through 3 times a week and eat the new shoots and leave you with nothing but the makings of rattan furniture....Stick to CoD kid, the real world is apparently too much effort for you to comprehend.
>>2871994Just buy shit straight from the farmer. it will never be cheaper to forage instead working and buying. search for a distribution center nearby they sell stuff that below listed grade for cents. customers want perfect produce, misshapen stuff is almost free.
>>2872005arundinaria is a species native to the southeast u.s.idk if its good eating though
Man gets got by bear. In Montana Daniel Crago of California speaks out after surviving grizzly bear attack at Glacier National Park in Montana - ABC7 Los Angeles https://abc7.com/post/daniel-crago-california-speaks-surviving-grizzly-bear-attack-glacier-national-park-montana/19251783/
>>2871730Dude.>black bear>brown bear>A MOTHERFUCKING GRIZZY BEARYoure comparing walking throigh the surf and accidentally kicking a sand shark vs a great white.
>>2872237Do you know nothing? Grizzly bear attacks are no fun but you can survive them by curling up and faking death. Black bears - which I've run into countless times while berry picking or hiking - will almost always run away. But if they don't run away, the recommendation is to fight for your life because there is no curling up in a ball or laying still that will stop them from killing you. You underestimate them at your own peril.
>>2872223wait, that can happen?i thought bears dematerialized after ever successful attack?
>>2872237Both will fucking kill you.
>>2871658Everyone in the world thinks California is a joke
