Upland hunting seems fun and I'd like to try it at some point. Would it be a good idea to start at a game preserve with a guide? I know it's not real hunting, but I figure that it would at least help me figure out whether I enjoy going after upland game. The only alternative available to me is to hike up a mountain and try looking for grouse. I live in western Virginia, if that's relevant. Also, the only shotgun I have access to is an old 870 with a fixed full choke, unless I drive a few hours to borrow one from my uncle. I'd rather not go out and buy a new shotgun until I find out if I'll actually use it.
butchered this year's moose on thursday and had some friends over. grilled some of the entrecôtewe felled 8 adults and 5 calves the first weekend. the battery on my scales ran out so I don't know the weight of my cut of the meat yet. we also felled another 3 adults + 2 calves yesterday
>>2880154oh and I grabbed a pair of testicles for a friend of mine who wants to cook some for her moving in party. plus a couple of kg of tallow that I plan on rendering to then turn into soap and maybe candles
>14er>trailhead elevation 13875are westoids for real?
>>2877263that image is probably the closest you've ever come to anywhere outside
CA 14ers are respectable with the 5-6k' elevation gain
>>2876280Is peakbagging out west not really a thing since you can drive most of the way up mountains?East coaster and here we'll mention if something's a 4k or not because it's an easy way of communicating how intense of a hike you're going on since there's usually at least 2k' elevation gain.
>>2880099Yeah we drive right up to summits. I managed to take my prius up here.
>>2876280Is that Kate Hikes?
>>2877099I bought one out of curiosity anyways. Was $30, 50Wh, charged 20% in about 2.5hrs in partly cloudy condition. Honestly not bad at all, this thing could power all my electronics while bike touring. My phone has a 17Wh capacity for reference, so this set-up could charge it to full in like 4-5hrs.
I went on a hike last week with some friends and holy fuck, never again. The whole thing became a photoshoot, non stop picture taking, I've never been so uncomfortable during a hike.
>>2875316The meta is hiking alone, meeting other like minded solitary hikers and enjoying each other’s company at the summit or the campsite.

>>2878955This makes sense to me, I'll try it next time. With tea, water that's too hot will singe the tea and make it bitter and disgusting, so it makes sense that coffee could be the same. Normally with coffee the grounds would be large enough (esp stuff like french press) that they can handle full boil without burning, but maybe instant is too fine for that.>>2879259>>2879413Plastic containers will shed some microplastics particularly under abrasion from a metal utensil or other, but they are otherwise going to be quite solid. On the other hand, a single fleece jacket can shed tens of thousands of invisible microplastic fibres every day which become airborne and breathed in as dust. If you REALLY want to avoid microplastics you need to avoid all polyester and nylon fabrics in your house and on your person, especially "fuzzy" ones like fleece.

>>2878903It depends - like many things. Wool blankets will some times have a slight odor to them, not stink, but it also depends on how much youre able to air it. Some will say merino wool may have slightly less smell than european wool.
How do you deal with normgrels who refuse to buy any proper gear to go on an actual hike after asking you to take them with you? I fucking hate these people, if you can't even bother with buying a decent pair of boots don't even ask.
Those guys all seem finely dressed to me… what are they missing OP?
>>2880033how would you feel if you hadn't had breakfast this morning?
>>2880033>muh boooootsThis says enough about you, OP. You probably spend $2000 just to sleep in the forest 200m from a trail. I can go barefoot and it wouldnt even bother me.

The nature is harsh, dry, not welcoming, the people are very dumb and either friendly if they can't actually help you, annoying when they want to help you ged rid of all cash in your wallet or rude when they don't care for your existence.Frequent interaction with the wild animals is what made it worthwhile though.
>>2880052>Churkovsk, Novosibirskvs>Coombasa, KenyaIt's not even a challenge. I one you get hot black chicks bouncing on your dick, cool safaris, and gorgeous beaches with all year long good weather. In another, you get drone strikes, mosquito swarms in summers, and -50C in winter. The amount of STDs and HIV is about the same.

Who would have thought that the problem with Africa is the fucking savage niggers?
Did you expect them to be smart? IQ stats is the only relevant fact about Africa.I fear for the day those IQ 70 niggers become the majority of the world population.

...the endless talus fields of Norway...
>>2879526I wanted the full experience (well except snowfields due to lack of gear), not just grassy fields, waterfalls and fjords, haha. No injury (few falls though), but it was frustrating near the end as you had to keep looking down for every step, as even the large stones are loose.
>>2879526If you go up in elevation here in Norway, you will encounter this.That's also why i shill for boots and not muh trail runners.You will fuck yourself up with dainty shoes if you carry heavy, which you must when hiking here.
>>2878207*splosh* *splosh* *splosh* *splosh* *splosh*
>>2879577This is not true. This is old thinking thats stuck in traditional hiking culture. If you have trained legs then you can hike most of these mountains in sandals. And no, you dont have to carry heavy, people are just too used to 5kg rucksack, 2kg sleeping bag, 3-4kg tents, and 1.5kg sleeping mat + pad, and then a bunch of food and clothing you dont need.
>>2878207That looks pretty comfy actually
Lately soup's been a hyperfocus of mine, specifically ones I can freeze in those oversized ice tray things, then heat up and put in a thermos to take innawoods. Something drinkable that has decent protein, and also won't make me paint the heels of my boots in the middle of nowhere. Been looking at pea soups, just made some potato soup with cottage cheese for extra protien. I have some lentil curry in my freezer.I'm also thinking about a freeze dryer but that's a ways off. Any /out/ soup recommendations? What do you guys like to eat in the sticks?
>>2880088>triple dubsi usually eat dry stuff, like nuts and raisins/dried fruits, because its light, i have a lot of heavy shit on me when i'm out and about because i only take 48h tracks at most. But if you have a tooth for soups i recommend soups made out of dried meat and corn, a geologist cooked that up for the group on one of my first hikes and it was one of the tastiest meal i've ever had
I know a lot of people love coffee while they're /out/ but I hate it, gives me the shits.The middle of nowhere is the second to last place I'd want to have the shits.
>>2880090didn't even notice, hell yeahWhat kind of dried meat? Jerky, biltong, summer sausage? What was the recipe like?
>>2880088I mean if you like soup you can do "orange soup" that I often make at home.500g sweet potato500g pumpkin (butternut squash is good)250g carrot 2 medium yellow onions50g bacon cubes or chopped up slices2 tsp ground cumin2 tsp ground ginger2 tsp turmeric1 tsp ground cloves (if you use whole cloves put em in a tea egg or something to fish em out)2 tsp gochujang if you like a bit of heat1.5 liter stock. I prefer mushroom stock but chicken is ok too.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>2880092as far as i know he made that meat himself in an oven at home while only using an disgusting amount of salt. i mean it checks out it was an non nondescript jar and a loose bag of dry corn kernels. the only recipe i can give you is that you dump all of your stuff and your backup water supply into the pot and cook it until it smells nice. atleast that what we did. pictured is the thingy he cooked the soup in, but it was way,way, way more burned
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.
Took a shot at the presidential traverse on labor day. The wind was pretty wicked, and I made an amateur mistake that cost a bunch of time (took a wrong turn onto westside and went around the summit of washington before turning around to summit up the crawford path). Ended up doing the northern presi and bailing down ammonoosuc where we had staged a car. Madison, Adams, Jefferson and Washington was still an awesome day though.
>>2880064
>>2880065
>>2880065that's really nice and all but I'm not that fit, can you recommend some easy to moderate hikes (under 4 mi, under 600 ft elevation gain) that lead to good views in northern nh or vermont?
Anyone from /out/ tell me if the Kantamus 60L is worth it? Looking for an endgame backpack that will survive the apocalypse.

>>2852249No, but I don't need to see it in person to realize that that design is shit for any real functionality other than going to uni with and larping as a classic european. Even for that the design is bad.For outdoors? If you are ok with using that you can use any normal backpack and it will be the same and cheaper.
For me is Tasmanian Tiger.Nobody knows that it the same firm as Tatonka, but stronger and cheaper.
This is a thread for enjoying a pipe while doing outdoor activities. If you ask why this belongs on /out/, you've never spent an evening by the campfire with a pipe or bowl or blunt or spliff or joint or vape or edible or dab or oil, silently enjoying the nature around you, and you're missing out.>How to get startedPurchase a cheap glass pipe (or a simple wooden chillum) and a bag of some quality outdoor or mid-grade weed from a dispensaryor your usual guy. You will need a lighter and something to clear the bowl witha paperclip works well if you don't have a proper tool.Pack the bowl loosely, enough for airflow but enough to stay lit. Light the corner of the bowl and inhale slow. Smokeslower than you think you need to, the flower tastes best when it isn't cherried too hot. Tamp and corner or re-light as needed. If you stillhave trouble, try different methods on YouTube until you find one that works for you. Or you can just roll it or whatever.>smoking ganja will get you arrestedOriginally, the government found that weed smokers, following a careful study of the statistics (at a time when hemp was a cash crop) were just peaceful people who wanted to grow their own medicine, enjoy jazz and engage in mild tomfoolery. Nowadays, weed is being legalized against while the average American thrashes in the thralls of poverty. Put two and two together.

My outdoor plants are flowering woohoo
>>2872343It's good to have some grass on the soil but only grass, other plants attract plagues. Tomatoes in particular are guaranteed to attract the white fly, the same plague that preys on the marijuana plant so putting them together is a bad idea.When I say it's guaranteed to attract the white fly, I mean it. And other plagues too, but that one is the most common.

Does anyone else use public charcoal BBQs at local parks? I often see immigrant and ethnic families using them but never white people. I like using them once or twice a summer, it's a fun outdoor dinner. Does your city or town even have outdoor BBQ? ITT: we discuss how to best utilize public charcoal BBQs.
>>2877392I don't know if this makes you less brown or more brown
I have used those a couple times, including at campgrounds, including with family. Never particularly close to urban areas (those are full of Mexicans for some reason). If the grate is particularly nasty and uncleanable we would just wrap each strip of it in foil and it would be fine
Because white people hate theirs family

>boomer coworkers: you need to get outside some more man, see the other side of life!>other side of life: this but filled with pajeets, drug addicts, and geriatrics>either too old or young for any sort of co-existence with nightlifeHow does one touch grass without touching the trigger of a gun to their head if they live in a situation like this?
>>2879949Some woods + lakes do partially negate my statement, but I think a young man should at least spend some time in the mountains before he gets tied down wherever he chooses to settle.
>>2879942Either move to a nicer location or spend as much time in nature as you can on weekends, vacation days, and holidays. Just because you live in a hellscape doesn't mean you have to spend every waking hour there. Also have a backup leisure/entertainment plan for when you're stuck in the suburbs. Working out at home, planning trips, watching nature documentaries. Even an immersive video game can scratch the itch until the next weekend.
You guys ever wonder if maybe retarded people are just incapable of grasping the concept of travel? You see a lot of posts like this pop up from time to time where it seems the OP has genuinely never considered the possibility of just going somewhere else.
>>2880031Have you considered that maybe OP doesn't have a car so he's unable to leave his house.
>>2880046then maybe OP should stop being a lazy worthless piece of shit and buy a car or a bike
