the really silly thing is living such a life that you feel the need to “unplug” or “get away”. only city dwellers who go out a couple times a year think this way. people that actually live and work /out/ have no qualms about watching something after the suns down

Hi guys long time no see but I need your advice, what's the very best option for a base layer for rain and cold? Is wool still king or are there better alternatives?

>Just get a goretex hardshell and don't get wet
I'm working construction for 10h shifts, I'll get wet and sweat a lot no ifs or buts.

Thanks.

I have an avocado tree in my garden. Some of the branches overhang the street outside. Today my mom told me the other day she saw one of the neighbours stealing our fruits. Shes non confrontational so she didnt say anything. I asked her how many did they take and she said quite a few. She said the guy wore a military uniform and the neighbour right infront of us is military so its probably him or one of his friends.
So should i kick his ass? Im totally 'ard and definitely could.

>>2758456
Maybe you should prune your tree. Thanks for the free avocados.

>>2758456
if the fruit can be reached from the public road without trespassing, you should consider them commons and not be a karen about someone picking them. like >>2758457 said, prune your tree if you dont like it

I've been lurking here and there for a few years now and I keep seeing people going seemingly to the middle of nowhere (miles from any signs of civilization) to very beautiful sights. I grew up very sheltered and leashed and so most of my outdoor experiences were spent less than half a mile from my parents' car parked near a 'scenic drive' road. I was a very adventurous kid and even had some experience gym climbing but my mother was deathly afraid to let me do anything riskier than a steep hike.

Ever since moving out, I've been trying to get out and hike more and I'm lucky enough to live in an area where it's really very beautiful, but I've never really understood how people go to the middle of nowhere. I know how ridiculous it sounds to ask, since the answer is probably just "you just fucking go", but how do you guys find/go to some of these places? Do you have GPS or maps or something? Do you just wander until you find somewhere you like or does someone give you a recommendation?

In a couple of weeks I'm going to Norway for about 5 months for my job and I've seen some of the natural beauty and so I don't want to miss out on anything doing normalcuck shit. I'd also appreciate advice on what to see there (past just the default answers like fjords)

You can directly correlate the removal of wetlands and thinning of forests from 1700 to today to the shift in weather patterns in north America.

It's not really about min or max temperatures at all--it's about the shifts in where the averages fall.

North america gets "about" the same amount of rain but now it gets it all in the spring and fall instead of being evenly distributed about the fall and all summer is drought--that's climate change not an overall aggregate temperature increase.

A friend of mine and i will go camping while visiting various cities and towns in Germany this summer for around 2 weeks and i feel like we have what we need but im not that experience with camping so i might be missing some stuff.
I also dont really know Germany and the laws surrounding camping and stuff there, i dont think there are many dangerous wild animals in the forest so i dont think id have to worry about that.
What we have in mind is basically:
>Go to city/town
>get there early, get a bus to the out-most part of the city/town without being too far and throwing our camping equipment in the middle of a forest.
>go back
>enjoy the day
>get back to the camp to grill and drink and stuff
>sleep
>wake up, get our shit and go to the next location.
If anyone ever did this in Germany id love to have cool tips and read possible problems that may arise.
Our equipment is just a tent that you put on the floor and makes itself,a tarp for rain, portable grill, cooking thing to put a small gas canister, small pan, cutting board and cutlery.
(we also have other things like power banks and cellphones and stuff)

If I hang my hammock in the evening and pack up in the morning and don't light any fires, if a forest janny catches me, how likely is it that he'll let me off with a warning? If someone else sees me, will they snitch on me, or worse, try to chase me away?
Also what's the legal status of pepper spray?

>if a forest janny catches me, how likely is it that he'll let me off with a warning?
Very likely. It's possible you will have to move though, which sucks in the middle of the night.
>legal status of pepper spray
Legal if it has a special german stamp "for animal defense". So best buy it in germany.

It's been almost a year since the last climbing thread on /out/ died. The thread on /xs/ is overwhelmingly focused on gym climbing, so I'm making this attempt to revive the general. Help out by sharing trip reports, photos, advice, etc.

A place to talk about outdoor climbing in any aspect (trad, sport, bouldering, aid, alpine, etc).

Rock Climbing is a dangerous sport that can cause loss of life, limb, eyesight, or sanity.

its not that complicated to understand, you need to find the balance between being physically fit and also maintaining a decent body fat percentage. think of the typical build of a polynesian seafarer compared to some body builder who is cutting for low body fat. the fat acts as a bio-prene internal wetsuit of sorts.

Life jacket
They'll save your life
Wear it!
>>
>>2757832
I do my best to encourage and teach people to swim. It is a life skill that changes people's life.

Personally I'm an excellent swimmer and can swim for hours and float with little effort. I do recommend a life jacket if you're swimming a lot.

If you're swimming in boots and gear, the side swim is relatively efficient and lets you manage the other gear you're carrying. Your ruck should be waterproofed to float and should be supporting as much gear as possible. But this is advanced stuff that you should only be doing as a strong swimmer and done with practice and have safety controls.

WARNING: Far too many inflatable kayaks are just swimming pool toys. If you forget that, if you take them out to sea, they may kill you. They're made in tens of thousands on Chinese production lines that have no environmental protection, no job security, very little quality control and no knowledge of kayaking on cold seas. Amazon sells them. People sell them at street markets. Price is no guide - some supermarkets have sold 'pool toy' kayaks for less than £50, but some of them are offered as 'adventure equipment' for more than £500. That's a colossal profit margin for a cheap, nasty product. It's also a way to suggest that these flimsy, dangerous toys are strong, durable and safe.The main thing to watch for is that the shell of a nasty inflatable kayak is probably made of the same quality of fabric that is used for poolside chairs, and the parts that inflate are probably made of unreinforced PVC (vinyl) that's no stronger or more durable than a kids' paddling pool. The seams are probably RF-welded. Unreinforced PVC fabric and cheap valves cannot hold the high pressures that make a serious IK into a relatively stiff boat; unreinforced PVC is thin and easily punctured. It will become brittle with age as the plasticisers evaporate, and it can just split open where you had it folded up over winter. An entire seam can suddenly pop open because the RF welding fails, dumping you in the water in less than a second. A nasty inflatable kayak probably has a life of less than 3 years of summer use. They're designed as badly as they're made, so they're very slow, hard to paddle in a straight line and impossible to control in windy conditions.
