If you are a hunter or angler you now possess the power to bring back two species. Game or fish. You can only pick one category. >you may pick two species >one will not displace or harm an ecosystem>it will be available to pursue by yourself and the public in its traditional range and sustain itself >the other will be only for you in an environment which it lived >you will have a one time pursuit of it with sufficient resources >either species may be living or extinct What are your choices?
>>2857229BasedFor me it's the Chinese paddlefish and HanyusuchusImagine surviving millions upon millions of years through all sorts of calamities just to get chinese'd to death
I'd bring back the freshwater dolphin, but China would just kill it, again.

the greatest /out/ youtuber is back. did we miss him?
>>2856441I mean eating is the only relatable part of what hes doing so obviously you gotta make that a lot of the video for normies to care. He makes videos for people who have never left a trail you could push a wheelchair down.
>>2848219Nope. Now he's officially part of Mormon leadership, And the cult is making him stop. This isn't a joke. https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2025/12/10/outdoor-boys-youtuber-luke-nichols/I'm also going to take bets that the YouTube channel is going to go down for a while, and all the videos are going to be re-edited. If not just permanently removed.
>>2856441You need 2-3k calories. Of course you're gonna spend a ton of time cooking.And food suplies are gonna last you only so long before you'll have to start finding food outdoors.
kek this dude pure comedy. he is the definition of every REI city boyscout meme in one. has to be faked. constantly doing retard tier things and beyond obvious he just throws richfag money at every problem he creates. will never forget him not knowing what a snow mobile is, called them like snowbikes or some sht lmao kekwwww. those mini cabins he built with no vents but uses gas space heater lulz. watching his kids barrel flag him everytime they go hunting and he just oblivious. when his truck was frozen so he used a blowtorch to thaw some ice but melted his transmission line kekw. the many massive illegal bonfires he starts in random woods lmao. the list is actually endless. did like learning his leaf science about frozen LCD tvs haha squirrel found a nut with that one.
>>2857753>illegalLol faggot
Where are my /divers/ at?
>>2857597Probably underwater anon
>>2857597took a dive into your moms pussy last time.got lost and now im trying to find my way out.running out of oxygen, might now make it.......
>>2857636>oxygenNon-diver spotted
>drives his truck to a pre-built camp site to "survive" thereVery cool content.Don't trust any outdoor youtube who doesn't show himself actually hiking to an otherwise unreachable spot.
>>2857406We know this already. 99% of out-tubers do this shit. It has been common practice since Discovery Channel.
>>285740690% of innawoods is a <30 minutes from their truck.
>>2857406>oh no! there is content farmer slop in my pure content farmer slop! how could this have happened?!11
>>2857406i like greg because he screws up all the time and often barely sticks to the challenge gimmick. he just likes sleeping in the woods
Post your favorite /out/ patches. Also, how do you display any patches you don't have on a pack? I tried doing a board but I think I need more patches because it feels empty.
>>2856190how do I meet anons like thatI got my sakurafish patch too
>>2857761information for zoomers, you are allowed to get mad about things you care about.with real people, you can see the hate and love from their eyes.
>>2856978you have to go back
>>2853333did you make those, good job to whoever did. I just got a larper Civilian Conservation Corps patch
>>2857796nah some other anon was selling them. they're classic /out/ memes which he had stitched up and was selling for awhile.the river shitter picture I drew so he was a good sport and sent me the patches for free, on account of it being my artwork I guess
any subcultures other than rock climbing that have a dirtbagging scene?
>>2855181Skiing, surfing, skateboarding all have them
>>2855344'Baggers don't go to resorts , Geraldene
>>2855181>>2855181>>2855186Definitely bikepacking. Seems extremely fun, too. Those single track trailers are essential, though.
Also, you are either a dirtbagger or a poser, no in between
>>2857291I don't think true dirtbaggers really exist anymore since /out/ing is expensive and travel isn't affordable at all
Are barefoot shoes really that goated? Im buying new shoes soon, and i just wanna know if its truly the way to go. Especially considering that there arent many barefoot hiking shoes, that are somewhat waterproof.
I'm a barefoot (Jim Green) shill but it depends on where you're walking. Maintained trails I would always go for a barefoot boot/shoe.Off-track in shitty or steep terrain it's nice to have a more sturdy boot.
I find I get a similar use wearing cheap aquasocks, they're better than flip flops for allowing foot movement and sensitivity, but not as secure as lace up shoes especially on downhills. On heavily travelled trails they're fine. I actually found a pair at fucking walmart that is halfway decent and has a wide toebox so they look a bit like clown shoes, but they're comfy af, worst case scenario they make good camp shoes that you can river cross with.
>>2856502I recommend some nip socks. They’re called Tabi or something and it’s nice to keep your feet warm in winter but still slip your flops on.
>>2856498No. Literal marketing gimick, and you probably fell for it.All the cons of being barefoot, with none of the pros of shoes for foot protection. Your toes get more freedom, but that's it.
>>2856498I bought a couple of toe spacers on Temu and it fixed my knee issues overnight, literally. Started hiking in Altra Lone Peaks, which has zero drop and a wide toebox, but a thick sole. It took a couple of months, but my plantar fasciitis, which I've struggled with for years, is almost gone. True barefoot shoes, fully flexible with no soles, are good for short hikes, but not long hikes, or city walks, or jobs where you stand on tiles or concrete for long periods. Your feet need some protection, even if it's "unnatural". But absolutely get shoes with a wide toebox and zero drop, you'll feel the difference immediately and you'll never be able to go back.
Last thread >>2844498This is a thread for enjoying a pipe while doing outdoor activities. If you ask why this belongs on /out/, you've never spentan evening by the campfire with a pipe silently enjoying the nature around you, and you're missing out.>how to get startedPurchase a corn cob pipe (or a cheap briar pipe) and a pouch of Half and Half or Captain Black tobacco from a smoke shopor online. You will need a lighter or match, and something to tamp it with--a large nail works well if you don't have a pipe tool.Fill the pipe with tobacco, pack it down halfway, top it off, pack it down to 3/4, top it off again, pack gently and enjoy. Smokeslower than you think you need to, the tobacco tastes best when it is burning cool. Tamp and re-light as needed. If you stillhave trouble, try different methods on YouTube until you find one that works for you.>smoking a pipe will give you cancerOriginally the Surgeon General found that pipe and cigar smokers, following a careful study of the statistics (at a time whenmost adults smoked, so they had a good sample size), had insignificant death rate increases. Nowadays, tobacco is beinglegislated against while hard drugs are being legalized. Put two and two together. Tobacco is just another good thing under attack by the government.Comment too long.

Burned through my first cob today. RIP gas station Fujima, you served your purpose well.
>>2857784fujima is shit, but if its only through the bottom, just plug it with a wooden plug & elmer's glueyou can seal any void with pipe mud too, so if its on the side or you wanna bolster the plug, it'll workno reason to let a good pipe die
>>2857785Would rather spend the $6 on a new pipe than smoke Elmer's glue or cigar ash.Good thing you can't burn through clay.
ITT guys who made it. Men who didn't die of exposure or hunger, men who survived
>>2855707That we are pathetic losers.
>>2841902Family trees doesnt go one straight line. If youre an alone child only your parents failed, but your, uncles, aunts, cousins kept the tree going
>>2855708To be honest... yes.

>>2843904Imagine thinking he's a real person.
I have been hiking at a cool spot for the past few months because it has lots of animals. I usually see javalina, coyote, coatis, and like 20 different species of birds. Unfortunately yesterday I ran into a mountain lion on the trail. I thought it was a coati going up a tree but it was actually a damn lion. I looked it up and the area is apparently filled with them. Is bear spray enough to deter them or should I start bringing a gun instead?
>>2856370I'm not defending anything you raging homosexual. I'd smear every last one of those scum off the Earth with the push of a button if you gave me the chance. What I AM saying is if you're in a state of heightened paranoia about them just because you're going /out/ in the desert you need to stop role-playing on 4chan and actually GO /out/.
1000 women go missing every year due to horny Mexicans and that's just part of the plan1 woman dies of a cougar attack in the last 25 years and everyone loses their minds!
>>2852923>I just fucking saw one so they aren't invisible stealth masters killers like you are all sayingYou said you’ve seen one in an area that is supposedly full of them>There are literally like 20 videos of people being cornered or charged, not ambushedThose are defensive attacks like a mother with cubs which is never going to happen to you. Everyone has said they don’t hunt people
>>2852923>80lbsplease tell you don't think 80lbs of a big cat = 80lbs human
>>2852831Being a male human making noise will be enough to deter them.
What is the most hardcore hobby and why is it cave diving?
>>2857072isnt that exactly what i said? they dive for fun and theit deaths are due to poor planning, in most cases adhd adrenaline junkies not following procedures. imagine jamie and hyneman diving during mythbusters.
>>2857081Your post insinuates that you see all cave divers in that regard without separating the goobers that go into a cave with no training.
>>2855779whats the stats on free diving
>>2857079>That being said simply operating your car on the highway is statistically more dangerous than just about anything you can doFor the same reason cows are more dangerous than sharks. So which one do you chose to be next to?
>>2857021This is an only slightly exaggerated account of what it's like to get to the Hall of Faces in Hellhole Cave.
Anyone from /out/ tell me if the Kantamus 60L is worth it? Looking for an endgame backpack that will survive the apocalypse.
>>2855936Yes, you can add a lid and stuff another drybag on top, but it doesn't really solve the problem if you want things secure inside the bag. It's just a slight annoyance and it's designed to not stick up above your head. A couple more inches would be nice or a snow lock inside that extend above.
Its great and you dont need to buy exclusive savotta aftermarket gear to make it YOUR pack
>>2855878I don't really want on that's a different color, I guess.Also, it's really hard to find PALS horizontal pouches, for some reason.
>>2844793>>2856041i spoke against savotta for many years here and apparently i was forgottensure they are indestructible and every finnish person swears by them because of the LJK (the one who made them great and what every sc/out/ was forced to carry in the army) >you dont need to buy exclusive savotta aftermarket gear to make it YOUR packbut you do need to purchase variety of molle pockets no matter the brand because their own bags are designed not to accumulate anything in their side pockets unless the bag is completely empy, hell even in your own pic you have strapped on some aftermarket pouch for that very same reasonthey are rugged bags but designed so that you have to get accessory pouches by defaultalso keep in mind that the paid shill from finnish company varusteleka posts here himself regularly and promotes this shit
>>2857750>they are rugged bags but designed so that you have to get accessory pouches by defaultyeah, that always irked me with military style backpacks, and especially with savotta. their stuff looks nice, but their backpacks are super minimal in their features and having the adaptability is a sort of "selling point" for them, BUT they are already super expensive for what they offer and they weigh a ton, and then on top of that you have the option to buy small pouches, that for their size, are even more expensive and weigh even more, so you can have basic functionality that should be there to begin with.i bought a maxpedition backpack 10 years ago and while the idea of adding pouches to the outside was nice and may have played into why i originally bought it, i never actually ever bothered buying anything extra for the backpack. i think it makes more sense to find a backpack that already has all the features you want.i dont think i will buy a military backpack again. the maxpedition served me well, but i dont see the point anymore. other backpacks do their job just as well
near one of the most remote lakes in the western US. I thought /out/ told me the western US was remote and untouched. all you really need is a car, AllTrails™ App, and some running shoes?
>>2857663>all state land>of the 6 million only 1.1 is designated wilderness>of that 1.1 the biggest parcel is only 275K acressorry. my bad. Contiguous designated wilderness areas lol
>>2857670>all state landthats not true. Half of the 6 million acres is privately owned. lol
>>2857670>>2857672I will note that New York has some of the most accessible state lands in comparison to the state lands owned out west. They treat it more like national forest land than national park land.
>>2857734no#calledyouonyourlarp
>>2857734meh. maybe. in my state, state land is relatively small in comparison to federal land but what it has is very accessible- and not just state parks. The state owns all sorts of random parcels that are not developed in any way- little to no signage etc....but you are free to hike, fish, hunt on it etc...its great because a lot of people dont even know about it (them) so they see very little traffic.>>2857738he is refering to land owned by the State not federal land
did you know that the colorado river doesn't reach the ocean anymore, and hasn't consistently since the 60sit all gets sucked up for irrigation and municipal water on arizona and mexicothere's just a dry delta in baja california where it once wasa similar fate has actually befallen a bunch of rivers in the southwest

>noooo you don't understand, we can't use our superior regulations and methods to mine this two mile spot in the middle of nowhere, we have to force third world countries with less regulations and safety to mine it for us
>>2857105A state wildlife sanctuary borders my western property line. A cattle ranch is down the road. I drive past the cattle ranch multiple times a week. I honestly do not think cattle ranching is inefficient. The cows are loose on hundreds of acres eating grass. The grass grows with the naturally occurring sun and rain. Once or twice a year the rancher takes fat mature cattle to market and buys small yearlings. I am sure he has to give the cows antibiotics. The ranchers I pass at the local feed & seed do not seem stressed out to me. They do not seem to think they are caught up in some horribly inefficient machine.
