>>2865078>>does it is enough to roam in the wild ?yes>>i though that allergies are permanent...they're not. talk to an allergist.
I'm gathering ideas for biomes and natural environments. I'd like to know if anyone knows of any natural environment or biome that they find pretty. It could be a description, a picture of nature that you like, anything helps.

Any French around? I'm looking to go perch fishing, what are good spots in the Bas-Rhin or Haut-Rhin areas, preferably close to the border? Any tips?
I don't fish professionally or anythingI don't like worms so I never used live baits to catch fish with. I just put wild blueberries right on the hook and I get a fish every time, 100% success rate in my history of fishing.does anyone else do that or stuff other than live baits?
>>2865811I never use live baits because i feel bad for them and I enjoy the challenge and satisfaction of working luresI'm pretty sure carp like sweet stuff so I'm not surprised that fish like blueberries, and sunfish will eat most foods you can fit on a hook, I'll have to try the berries some day
>>2866563This reminded me of how I went fishing for trout and all I got was a rock bass. Mine was small but yours looks pretty good.
how do i stop gnomes stealing my boots while /out/?
>>2863886First time in America going /out/, any tips or advice for a European? >>>/wsg/6120882
>>2865081We have weather in America, know what heat/cold/wind/rain range you could be dealing with and be prepared for it.carry water.Know where you are, stay on trails, maintain awareness of landmarks.The American wilderness is not a petting zoo, take pictures from a distance, do not approach the wildlife, do not touch the wildlife, do not try to take selfies with the wildlife.
>>2865088Never go full retard.
>>2865090stop it with the europhobia!
>he doesnt salt his boots before bed
anyone who likes to go to abandoned places and sleep there for one night? sounds comfy
>>2863619Yeah
>>2863619How hard is it to find relatively untouched abandoned places?Every abandoned place I've ever been too has just been wall-to-wall grafitti, trash thrown everywhere, and needles.Makes it not a not very enjoyable experience.
>>2864079Do u prefer baguette or tourists delight?
>>2865012come to eastern europe, Ignore OP
>>2865012LolLmao even
is Arcteryx a poser brand? what are some tr00 kvlt core dirtbagging brands?
>>2855627the only brands i'm dead set on using is gregory packs, 5.11 pants, and lowa bootseverything else is a meme
>>2864787Why does Gregory make better packs for their women's line than their men's line though.
For me its going to Sierra and finding heavily discounted but still reputable stuff. Like yeah their model has shifted away from overstock and more into general shit but you can still find some winners if youre discerning
>>2855627They aren't really any more expensive than any of the other big brands and their top tier stuff. You do notice the quality compare to budget options, if it's worth if is up to you. Price is what you pay, value is what you get.
>>2864787They're Lowa boots not Iowa boots...
so ive got this rod from my dead grandpas estate about a year ago and im looking to turn it into a nice something for my wife to use whilst she joins me at our cabin (rural missouri in local ponds). she more enjoys just worms and grabbin bluegigi whilst i try to find new spots. rod is cleared for 16 pounds, but was made in the 80's i think. 5 1/2 meter long.tell me am i just better off buying a whole new setup? if so budget can go up to $150
>>2864905
>>2864905For that rod? Find an old Zebco 202 and give it some TLC.But yeah, your wife would probably appreciate something a bit newer, and less of a hassle.
Any Nurserymen out there? Developing a parcel of land full of tall grass right now with some chickens, taking it slow by scissor cutting grass for the coop, about 12 chickens that come and go, and got about 20 plants going, looking for some clean pots and more creative ideas to put out and improve safety. I'm unsure if this would be the location they get sold, or selling to other nurseries. The option of investing in plants is also confusing. Foraging for starts and coming up from seeds both for ornamental and food, hydroponics eventually, but for as excited I am to exit the greater society entirely to be able to spend more time at it drinking and having fun in the evening kinda relies on a lot of factors I have no controls for. I mostly draw ideas in sketchbooks, but also looking for a good way to record the info into a nursery system on a computer or something. I like the idea of a little bluetooth camera and thermal thermal printer to print cute labels and such but it's easy to get a headache trying to get it all down. We also get pretty bad hurricanes here, which is the best motivator, and demotivator. Cultural influence in art sstudies and making too are other factors. I grew up in a nursery, returning to it now that I'm better housed is a relief but it's not without challenges. Looking for a truck and dirtbike too.
Our area lacks trails for moto and lacks bikes for sale, surprisingly. I had a DR650 as a backup vehicle when I lived overseas but money dried up there like the land, can't wait to get another bikehttps://youtu.be/o_ZJy-J96oE?si=XqDFv1KSS3hai5EF
They also stopped selling fireworks for chinese new year here, so looking at making my own againhttps://youtu.be/8OAMcWZER3Y?si=lHLsdGEcCXCiWWN1
hoping to eventually getting my own climbing gear also, I had a job in tree service for like 4 months and it was pretty intense, I had a lot of fun though, tree nets would be a lot of fun, but we didn't create any on the job. I had some cool videos on my old phone, but google never sent me any of my account's data when I closed it for a fresh phone. Fuck googlehttps://www.treestuff.com/
Tips and advice for camping in the rain. Less thought about equipment etc.
>>2863923hammock tent; backpack rain cover
>>2863923>Tips and advice for camping in the raindon't. simple as
>>2864366>it will rain so fucking hard your goretex will just give up, your boots will squelch at every stepI kinda like being in this part
>>2863923Not very experienced but :It's very different if your gear can be dried by a few hours of sun the day after, or if you go for multiple days of continuous rain and moisture.Have some kind of tarp to protect the tent and create some dry spot where you can stay, organize stuff, change clothes... A big leafy branch can do half of this, but big branches falling on you can be an issue in some places.Make sure you have dry clothes to wear inside your tent.Sometimes a simple garbage bag doubling your backpack inside (and even more cheap bags) is better than a raincover.Suspend what you can where you can to at least drain water.Dry your feet and try not to stay in moist shoes for days.
Don't get wet
What's the best way to NOT die from co2 poisoning while tenting?
>>2863582CO2 poisoning isn't a thing, you actually need sufficient CO2 levels to maintain the bohr effect. Worst you'll get is a headache. For CO poisoning, don't run an exhaust into your tent.
>>2863496>>2863582Don't camp in a hottent. It's literally that easy
>>2864639>>2864576Copy that, loud and clear.Although, what else shouldn't I do while camping?
>>2864120Yes, why do you ask?( not op )
>>2864416>spaceOh shit.Do you have stairs in your house?
The fact that they exist and that I have never seen them makes me incredibly sad.
I've wandered the redwoods which I guess are old growth on account of many of them predate Julius Caesar. But sadly from New England everything was clear cut by about 1840. Couple small patches of old growth out in the Berkshires apparently
>>2864739There’s a few old growth spots left on the edges of the Everglades that ive been in. It is a primeval feeling to stand next to thousand year old cypress trees. In North Carolina I think theres a 2000+ year old cypress stand too
>>2864739I've been to some in deep northern California. It was awesome to see them in person. Pictures didn't capture the density of vegetation correctly.
yeahlilley cornett woods in eastern ky is nice, but you gotta call them and reserve a day to hike in advance and its a guided hikei still havent asked what happens if you have to poop I assume they make you bring a poop bag and pack it out :( but they do have bathrooms at the visitors center for before and after the hike
>>286473910 minute walk and I got one right here in Sweden.
Does anyone here own one? As of 2023 the company has stopped producing them and people are still waiting for refunds. I am working on a project to create a waterlily 2.0, a better version to sell as a consumer product at the best possible price. If you own one or have used one and can point out flaws or issues you had with it please go ahead.
>>2863851>>2863855>>2863856It says it is 15-25w but testing in the field says it is more like 2-5w. That is irrelevant to me because I am building a 2.0 from the ground up starting with the prop.Let me just say again I do not need this. I carry power banks and a big blue I just think it is a very unique product and one that a non greedy person like me could improve, and for some people it will be better than a solar setup like the big blue. It's really not that serious guys but I wouldnt be surprised if someone here had one despite the sales stopping in 2023.
>>2863866just build it already it's literally a waterproof DC motor wired to a rectifier and then a buck converter. What are you waiting for ?
>>2863855>70Wno fucking chance, maybe if you routed an entire waterfall through it>>2863866>more like 2-5wthis is more like it, i almost believe this >I am building a 2.0 from the ground upits impossible, dont even bother trying. this is like those old scams about a self filling water bottle. technically it works but is comically impracticalsolar is better than this shit, lighter and fits nicely on the top of your pack
>>2863865>watches video>that's good enough
>>2863841Why people are getting tricked with the same scam schemes over and over again? The 99,99% of cool sounding thingamajigs are actually impractical and exist only to drain money from retards.Such a small turbine will produce minuscule and finding suitable place to use it will be tricky at best and impossible at worst. You'll be standing knee-deep in water for hours and waiting for your Ifag phone to slowly charge?
Can I convert this little can into an alcohol stove/ heater?It has a gasketed screw in lid, that is the biggest advantage. I don't know how I would cut and fill it. I assume a WIC is a good idea on this thing so maybe just an out safe oil lamp. For 1.50 it's basically a free experiment. Thoughts?
>>2863236also, know that some alcohols burn invisible flame in the sun.check flame is absolutely out and recipient cool before refillng.check safety issues on alcohol stoves!!!
>>2860143google for fancy feast alcohol stove or cat food can alcohol stove, it's the simplest setup you can have and is dead easy to make. I've made one, and a windscreen from two cut open soda cans + paperclips. It burns denatured rubbing/fuel alcohol which you can literally buy exactly anywhere in the world for cleaning/disinfecting purposes, and while it's not fast, it's enough. Also in case some absolute n00b is reading this: no, you do not burn whiskey/wine/vodka in these stoves (someone on /out/ argued alcohol stoves were bad because alcohol iss expensive - turns out he thought you literally burn vodka in these)
>>2860172Look up the spiguyver stove.
Made a fancy feast stove.
Works well, need to get all the plastic lining out of the tomato paste can.

>>2863189He's casting a spell
George Floyd was a man with a unique talent. He was a tour guide, but not of the usual kind. His tours were of the inside of his ass, and he had a long list of eager participants - small children. You see, George suffered from severe hemorrhoids, which caused him immense discomfort and itchiness. He needed someone to help him relieve the pain, and who better than small, curious children with their small, nimble fingers?He would invite them into his home, promising them an adventure they wouldn't forget. Once inside, he would bend over and ask them to explore the "cave" he had discovered in his ass. Of course, it wasn't a real cave, but the inside of his rectum. The children, unaware of the truth, would eagerly climb inside, their tiny hands exploring the "stalactites" and "stalagmites" that George had pointed out. Little did they know that these were actually his enlarged hemorrhoids.As they explored, George would stutter and shudder, his body reacting to the sensations. He couldn't help but make rhymes about his ballsack, his aids, and his tourettes. Despite the awkwardness of the situation, the children seemed to enjoy themselves, giggling and squealing as they discovered new "formations" inside George's ass.For George, this was more than just a way to relieve his pain. It was an opportunity to bring joy to the lives of these young ones. He knew that his ass wasn't a real cave, but he was determined to make their experience unforgettable. And as for himself, he was determined to leave each tour with a less itchy asshole.As the years went by, George's tours became more popular among the local children. They would come back time and again, eager for another adventure in his "cave." Some even brought their friends along, creating a small community of young explorers. And while some parents may have been concerned about their children's safety or sanity, George remained undeterred. He knew that he was providing a service, however unconventional it may be.
>>2863051I saw a jeet playing curry music on his phone, then when I got to a scenic overlook, I heard him with ANOTHER jeet. That was really scary
i want to get an e-bike to get to the local mountains from my city which is about 25kms. i'll just use the motor for climbing major hills and pedal the majority of the way there. I'll want to get a trailer to bring things I'll need and wear a big backpack.Is it possible to charge it with a solar power kit? any suggestions/recommendations? Any models that are easier to repair than others?
>>2864309if you arent already fishing and hunting this plan is stupid and you should just learn the normal way before you do something more stupid. if you are already doing those then you should just keep doing what youre currently doing
>>2864304Nice - I'm looking to get one of those soon. (But the Poverty version, they're still damn expensive.)Left picrel in plain site of the road intending to go straight back out and got sidetracked. Next morning found someone decided they needed it more than me.That was 3 weeks ago - I've given up hope of seeing it again.
>>2864425conversion kits seem promising. You just turn an existing bike into an ebike. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RRN16nVmQz0I'll be looking for the best torque for mine since I need it for climbing a road that goes up a mountain
>>2864431the kits are the best. the are very easy to convert and you have lots of different options. i spent $1400 on a rad powerbike and there is nothing special about it. the big drawback to it is replacement parts or upgrades. most of the ebike companies use special wire connectors so you have to go back to them for replacements. a control box from rad powerbikes is $99 but you can get a generic one on Amazon for $30. its like that for everything on the bike too. the kit is best but i. would suggest to buy the battery seperate from the kit so you can get a bigger battery. i use a big battery for a electric 4 wheeler on my bike. also the front wheel kit is simpler than rear wheel. or you could do both front and back and have an awd bike
>>2864431>best torqueevery electric motor that has the wattage to push you up a hill will have enough torque. electric motors in general always have ridiculous torque torque was made for combustion engines, they need to have enough force to spin around and do another revolution, if the wheels are bogged down enough (by gravity, air resistance or an actual bog) and cant do a revolution then the engine doesnt have enough force to do so. interestingly enough force and torque is measuring the same thing in different units. an electric motor doesnt need to rotate all the way around to put power down like an engine does, it just needs to keep getting the power from the battery and it will keep trying to spin even if itll break itself doing so
