i get a ton of leftover water from making pasta and other cooking stuff, but that water has salt in it, starch at that or when it comes to baking there might be sugar in it. none of those are good for a garden, salt kills, starch idk and sugar attracts bugs. is there a way to purify those? it feels like a waste to toss it all away down the drain, because those are several liters that could be used.
>>2875402How long were you a lake before being incarnated as a human?
>>2875386You could build a passive condenser using the sun.A large flat black container with an angled lid that collects condensation and runs it off into a collection container.But your yield of clean water would be pretty low, not really cost effective.
>>2875386You're overthinking anon, just throw it outside and let the soil handle it. Your pinch of salt in the pasta water isn't going to do shit
What climate are you in? Salting really only is a problem in areas which don't have the rainfall to flush it. Salts are minerals anon, plants like minerals to grow. I I dilute seawater and use it as a foliar spray for trace minerals. Semi-humid subtropics here.
>>2875386>is there a way to purify those?The starch in pasta water is a Good Thing. And you don't need to put salt in your pasta water.

>>2876442>>2875476If you have a tight group it’s the way to backpack. I backpack with two girls I used to film content with. We basically assign roles: tent & habitat, water & necessities, food & emergency. Responsibilities for planning are split up, then before trip we weigh everything out and distribute. The smaller girl is only 5’1” (perfect pear body) so generally we let her carry some denser items while me (5’10) and the other (5’7” thin but firm and fit) carry longer packs with more flexibility. We once filmed content in the woods but I swear the animals heard us and gathered round to watch.
Zpacks has a lightweight 3 person which can possibly fit 4 if you really like the other person
>>2875399Walmart tents are heavy?You one of them Onions boys I keeps hearin' bouts??
>>2875354>Any recommendations?Personally I wouldn't carry a 4P on my back unless it's for a thing.. Get 2 x 2P. You'll be a lot happier.
>>2876488>a thing..Should read : a sex thing.
Does this actually work?
>>2874544You just wanted to post gayshit anon
>>2874547That's a woman
>>2874549That is a very manly woman
>>2874550YESnot feeble and weak like japanese woman
>>2874544Dubs. Idg the point of it, but i will try this technique next time i go camping with a biological woman (i havent given up yet bros)
Realistically, what could this boomer have done to avoid this?He wasn’t actually antagonizing the moose.https://youtu.be/6jNugfzptu8
>>2875292>bear spray not allowed on some national parksIts very allowed in Yellowstone. You can even rent it. Rutting Bison are not to be trifled with. You see them out there grunting, snorting and wallowing and trying to be the biggest bull around. 2000lbs of mean, onry, horny mutherfucker.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMq8hNC-gXk

>>2876047>carrying a gun>in yellowstone>against an endangered protected animalEnjoy your felony and sitting in a jail cell for years.
>>2876052you are allowed to have a gun in Yellowstone. Technically, even allowed to use it in self defense of animals but it they frown on it bigly and the burden of proof of self defense is high- any shooting will be a federal investigation

when did realtree edge become streetwear ? this used to be a show of character -- that you'd wear this if you were a hunter with grit and interesting pasttime. now it's just for douchebag zoomers whose only hobby is being bad at managing their mcdonald's paychecks. how gay is that ! anyone else feel like putting their balls in these people's mouths ? read this sentence if you agree.
A lot of people will wear their hunting jacket because it’s usually the warmest article of clothing they own
Realtree is y2k grunge drip now unc. I got a realtree carhartt #workwear jacket that shits tuff
>>2874818No cap? Frfr? Ong?
>>2866235>this used to be a show of character -- that you'd wear this if you were a hunter with grit and interesting pasttimeThis was only ever the case in your imagination
>>2868184I once had a white collar suit nerd compliment me on my flecktarn jacket. Anon is correct, no one cares as long as the spaghetti stays in yr pocket.
why do people say the desert smells good when it rains?i was out in Arizona and Utah and whenever it rained it smelled like a public urinal
>>2876173Ok but what if its poop?
>>2876133>it smelled like a public urinalA lot of people lose their virginity in public urinals and the smell brings back pleasant memories from their youth.
>>2876142Very informative, I’ll remember this. Thank you for the knowledge :)
>>2876133for me its the sagebrush that smells incredible but we're in the high desert here.
>>2876133Creosote and petrichor.
>ruins your outdoorsThanks a lot, fucking leaf faggots.
>>2876039>we've never had smoke here beforeHistorical data says otherwise but I understand that zoom zooms never are able to comprehend that the world didn't pop into existence the moment they were born. Just because this is the first time you've had this particular experience doesn't mean it is novel or unprecedented. It doesn't happen at this scale every year but it does happen at this scale once in a while. This won't be the last time you smell smoke from Canadian wildfires but maybe next time you'll see people panicking like you are and understand the annoyance people have with you today acting like this is some unique situation.
>>2876445>ummmm actually, if we look at the historical data we can see that the same thing happened 100 years ago therefore it's normalThis is not normal. I've lived in Virginia for 15 years and it hasn't happened in that time and I've talked to people who have lived here a lot longer and never saw this. A fire spreading smoke this thick from 1000 miles away is not normal, at all, you fucking retard.>pointing out that something is extremely unusual means you are... le panicking!no. Wtf is wrong with you? Are you an actual ESL? You don't understand basic English.
>>2876445>>2876451I live in columbus oh and it was the worst recorded air quality to date. I was stuck outside all day for work, but it didnt bother me much other than boogers. The next day a storm blew it away.Tldr yr a fag
>>2876451>A fire spreading smoke this thick from 1000 miles away is not normalYou really are not the sharpest pencil in the shed, are you?
>>2876451I'm further east then you, in Québec. We get smoke from Manitoba, Ontario or even North Québec wildfires every few years. Smoke getting from northern Québec to Estrie is surprising, because the wind basically never blows due south. A smoke plume stretching 1000 miles is not surprising nor particularly exceptional.

>>2875904I have to drive through central Oregon this weekend. Should I just change my plans and take a longer route?
>>2875933you can visit me, but it's smokey here where i'm at.
>>2875904But it's obviously a Chinese hoax bro
>>2875904People pretending like there hasn't been massive amounts of Arson all around the country for the past few years are either shills or horribly misinformed by media and the climate change narrative.I've been monitoring the fires on this continent since the Palisades fire made it clear that there were multiple Arsonists, which were reported on radio chatter at the time spotted leaving sites in trucks with gas cans in the back.Many other fires around the country via the same chatter has been traced to arsonists even when they don't end up catching the guy.Don't get me wrong, everything is dry right now and that is obviously a huge reason why we're seeing so many fires. But don't forget that this is happening because corporations like the Wonderful Company owned by Jewish businessman Stewart Resnik have been sinking massive amounts of our water supply underground in tanks and pipes, and effectively cutting off at least 20% of most available water from the water cycle. Arson is rampant, and they want you to believe it's actually all climate change so they can continue to regulate your lives more.https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/ditch-2-fire-sentencing-rescheduled-9.7192121https://www.ctvnews.ca/northern-ontario/article/quebec-man-charged-with-setting-bush-fires-in-northern-ont/https://www.kptv.com/2026/08/01/man-charged-with-15-counts-arson-after-series-fires-malheur-county/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2w0k5zzryo
>>2875904Maybe stop setting fire?
trying to decide between binocular or monocular. probably either the vortex solo 8x36 or vortex crossfire 10x42 HD. help me make a decision.use case would be just something fun to have while /out/ and about and maybe even in the city. so smaller size of monocular seems advantageous, but binocs seem easier to hold steady and give a sense of depth.
>>2874092Binoculars always if you can carry the weight, less eye strain. Crossfires are great for the money. I would get the best optics you can afford though. You will feel the difference, especially looking through them for extended periods. Nikon Monarch 7s use to be the gold standard for binos that punch above their price category. If you find a used pair I would get those.
Just ordered some zeiss terra 10x42 binos after a drunken eBay offer I didn't think would be accepted. I've never paid over $50 for binos before so I'm kinda exctied
>>2874918if you're already having trouble stabilizing 8x then 10x or higher will be way worse for you. and 8x is definitely way better than the naked eye. you need to look at some small animals or something to tell the difference. you can see the texture of their fur from like 50yards away, or what a bird has in their mouth.
>>2874144Compacts always trade power for portability.I personally like my digital night visions
>>2874097The Vortex is shit. I've played with both of them, and the Zoom Tube is the only thing worth buying. Vortex is more expensive and has shittier controls.
What kind of pants do you guys wear for hiking/camping? I'm looking for something not too expensive and preferably slightly fire resistant. You guys always have interesting recommendations.
>>2869511>What kind of pantsI'm not insecure so I wear shorts. Mostly jean cut offs.
>>2875888I need to be convinced of a better BDU brand. Truspec works just fine and when i wore them in the service lasted a solid year of 5 mile daily walking while i worked on random shit. Now that i am just a regular office monkey they last about 2 years before getting ratty.
Mostly Decathlon N. 306447 or swimtrunks.
>>2869879It's usually the unprepared people who are underestimating nature that are out in the woods and get caught in a sudden rain storm that get them drenched and then die of hypothermia because they're wearing sneakers, hoodie, jeans or sweatpants. Ie. cotton.
few years ago got my hands on those beauties, pretty much info from "americana pipedream" you could get about them. Great durability for camping, also comfortable
I'm deploying to McMurdo for winfly in a couple weeks.Anyone else heading down this season?Anyone do a season or two in the past - any tips?
>>2875833hmm. I know there are a handful of ice vets here from years ago... I haven't been on /out/ in like 5 years :(
>>2875833There was at least one dude who posted a bunch of pics from working there. Its been a while
>>2875885there's someone on /sci/ who has done ice core drilling too
>>2875829Retired Coastie here. I made 6 Deep Freeze deployments to McMurdo 1980-86. My advice is, get a complete set up of Dungeons and Dragons books and dice. Start brewing up a campaign before you depart. You want to have about 3 weeks of play time all rolled up and ready to go. Give your coworkers a little escapist fantasy RPG action, you won’t regret it. D&D got me through all 6 South trips and a year of isolated duty at a LORAN station at the Arctic Circle.
>>2876068nice! Ever do a stint at a DYE station?I'm not big into tabletop games though, sorry... Never struck a chord with me. I do have a long list of things I want to experience / do, various hikes and activitiesI think some of the forklifts still in use at mactown are the same ones you might have had in the 80s, heh.
How can I start enjoying the outdoors?
What I did is look up a bunch of videos on gear and read reviews on forums before spending a few thousand dollars on an amazing setup and then leave it all brand new in box unopened on shelving I bought for it and never use it while I sit here in places like /out/ to enjoy the idea of doing it.
>>2875839Hell yeah, borther!You're my kind of guy. I did the same, spent 2k€ in equipment and that gave me the clout necessary to come to /out/ shit on people who have cheaper gear.I did take it all out of the package though, takes up less space on the shelf. I need it for the gear upgrades every 3 years.
>>2872701NOFAP IS pseudoscience.How do I know? Stopped fapping a few months ago due to balanitis. Fapped for decades before. Have never felt as miserable and as devoid of purpose as I do right now. And I've been a depressed suicidal shut-in, so the bar is pretty low.Although a good part of it might be that I stopped fapping due to physical problems with my dick, which made me feel like I lost a working dick and as such can't at least go fuck whores or random sluts every now and then.
>>2875832>minimums
>>2876092have you tried not being among the bottom 5% of players?
Hello. I have a challenge for you. You are offered $1,000 per hour that you drive. You can go anywhere and gas is infinite. So is food, water, and anything else you’d NEED. How long do you drive for? Where do you go? How would you do it?
>>2875004What drugs were you on when you made this, other than LSD?
>>2874959>How long do you drive for? Where do you go? How would you do it?As long as it takes.Your mom's house.Edging the whole time. Your mom is going to drown in baby batter.
>>2874959Depends on the details. Realistically the longest I’ve ever driven without breaks (except stopping for gas) was 14 hours. Would drive to Kentucky.
>>287495916h at most. beyond that is suicidal, even pushing 14h is suicidal without taking drugs or caffeine pills/drinks
>>2874959Start a few hours before dusk, drive through the night get my second wind at sunrise, drive till sundown. I could do 20 hours with a piss jug.

>>2875903I lost two slip bobbers to surf against rock and a lure snapped off this weekend for me, also no fish because they didnt read the chart
Bros, I saw this carp get as close as 20 feet from the shore, would it be feasible to do something as stupid as using a bobber set-up to get a carp?
>>2875908It's not stupid, it's an actual thing to use a bobber for carp, as much as pike, you can even flyfish carp as they will eat nymphs as well
>>2875910>>2875910>>2875910
>>2874100that's for sea fishing
Why are there nice places just 1 km away from nearest villages and a few km away from the nearest city where you barely ever see a human being? Can't people go out if there's no national park?And for some reason, despite almost complete absence of people, there's always more or less garbage thrown here and there.
>>2875807Because the national parks contain:a) Typically the most beautiful spotsb) Easily accessible spotsAnd most people are:a) Not psychopathsb) Want to enjoy nature WITH others around themc) Just want a nice time outd) Want to see nice things that don't take time to hike into or drive down sketchy unmarked roads
>>2875807People larp all the time here about how you need to drive six hours into the middle of nowhere to get true /out/ meanwhile there are suburban swamps and forests that haven't had a soul in them for decades
>>2875825>And most people are:>a) Not psychopaths>b) Want to enjoy nature WITH others around themDoes being introvert make you a psychopath?
