I love rainbow gatherings and doofs, been to them all around the world. Burning Man seems too corpo and tech bro for me to truly enjoy it and my friends who go say the music is shit compared to standard Rainbow Gathering/Doof.>>2875271While hippie chicks tend to be left wing in that feminist spirit in touch with nature we're witches and female energy etc way, most hippy guys tend to be Libertarian/alt-right adjacent types from my experience of going to these events for near 20 years now. The amount of times I've been at a talk at Rainbow Gatherings or Doofs and I got a dollar every time they've suddenly just openly gone into "And this is why the Holohoax isn't real" and "Marxist demonic plot to take over society" shtick with everyone nodding along I would have a Cathargo RV.

Post some tunes for hanging/out/ pls. I need some more chill bluegrass type stuff in my library, preferably instrumental but with song lyrics is okay tooI tried asking for more tunes similar to this on /mu/, but r/music only knows kpop and gpop(goypop) "music" so that board is a terrible place to ask for anything goodhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MO6hw1tk4II
>>2882876I know what you mean and in the main I don't disagree but something like old delta blues 'front porch' blues, not the urbanized blues of later decades, is pretty /out/. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmywB9Fnfn0&list=RDFmywB9Fnfn0&start_radio=1I think in general the only people (in the west and mainstream-ish, so not like first nations music or whatever the fuck) who are playing non-urban music are now white, and virtually all popular music is now very urban and also very back (or white people being culturally/sounding black) - this is pop, rap, r&b, drum & bass and virtually everything like that. All of the songs on the popular, younger aimed radio are black, all of the top streamed songs are black (unless there's some kpop shit in there but that's like the black of Asia). If any country song gets really popular it's probably not really country. Most country, some rock, a lot of metal, a lot of folk is: a) mostly white and b) mostly or very often 'un-urban' in feel, subject, sound.

Op you trying to get rid of it or make it splatter everywhere?Fairly certain this is overkill.If it where me assuming your somewhere with liberal gun laws like the US I'd use a 22 LR or something like a 38 pistol on it. Anything bigger is probably overkill, shit even a crossbow is probably more appropriate.
Did some research on these pests, going to be honest here if it where me I'd mag dump a pistol into the prick and be done with it.They really have become a pest.

>>2880638Shit, I'm fat and go 3-4 miles with around 500ft gain starting from over 8k
>>2881113Imperial is inherently based, just the name alone "imperial" has more grandeur and status than chud "metric." Also, imperial is based in tradition and history, whereas metric was literally just made up by some self hating french libtards because the mention of God and Royalty made them seethe and cope.
>>2880647I took my two out of shape brothers on a hike where we climbed 3k ft over 2 miles and it gassed them even though it took less than two hours one way. Length doesn't mean difficulty, any mountain hiker knows that last quarter mile scramble can take longer than much of the rest of the distance

>>2878372Of all the retarded things posted in this thread...it's not a flat plain. It's a valley between mountain ranges that go from sea level to 12,000 ft.
>>2878393Yup, great read. It's really easy to underestimate how remote it is out there if you haven't been. We had a similar case up here in Oregon where a family took a road trip, and went off on a logging road and got stranded. After some time, the dad went hiking off for help and died in the snow.
General thread for freediving and/or spearfishing, since I don't see one mentioning either.My personal questions:I've been thinking about taking a certification course so I can learn to do these things correctly and safely. I'm probably happy just doing the diving, but spearfishing seems like an easy and practical extension. I only casually skindive and rod-and-reel fish at the moment. Does anyone have experience taking such a course?I know I'll need my own gear early on, but each instructor I can find seems to have their own equipment shops, so I imagine they wouldn't be impartial about the quality of other gear on the market. I live on the Pacific coast of the US, so I see that a 7 mm open cell wetsuit is strongly recommended. What good/bad features should I look out for on wetsuits and other equipment? For non-competitive diving, carbon fiber fins are almost certainly not worth the price, right?
>>2878803Is it feasible for a non-local to come to HI and do a little spearing without getting the shit beat out of them? If so, which island would be best? I kind of fantasize about just camping in the woods (i did that plenty in Oahu) and living off fish for a week.
When the weather starts to get cold, I start to reconsider whether I should have moved to the tropics.

>>2876430>zero evidenceDo you need to look at a study for proof that you should wipe your ass? Why don't you just try a pair of hiking boots on, tighten them up, and try to roll your ankle. The results are obvious. Maybe try living your life according to what you personally experience instead of reading "studies" to understand reality.
without full ankle mobility, you're getting obliterated either way
>>2882724>just use personal experienceI’ve sprained an ankle twice, and both times it was in boots. I switched to trail runners like 8 years ago and haven't sprained my ankle since.Conclusion by your very own retard logic: boots cause sprained ankles and trail runners prevent them.

In fact, studies of past CO2 levels have accumulated evidence of CO2 levels being lower than 400 ppm for the past 23 million years. That makes the CO2 records on this page the highest in human history plus a period that's a hundred times the 200,000 years that homo sapiens have graced the earth. But the current elevation of CO2 levels is just one side of the problem. The other is the speed of the changes in atmospheric composition--more than a hundred times the speed of change before the Industrial Revolution. Living species and ecosystems adapt to change, but fewer can endure when the speed of change is too fast.
• All life is carbon based and the primary source of this carbon is the CO2 in theglobal atmosphere.• As recently as 18,000 years ago, at the height of the most recent major glaciation,CO2 dipped to its lowest level in recorded history at 180 ppm, low enough to stuntplant growth.

>>2883402>HimalayasA narrower line of mountains than the Karakoram group, but very long and still vast. It contains most of the world’s 8000m peaks including the tallest, Everest, and has areas of extraordinary vertical relief. Depending on how you measure it (see: Jut), the Annapurna group has the greatest vertical relief of any mountain and Dhaulagiri is not far behind. Another outstanding area is on its eastern reaches, where the Yarlung Tsangpo carves a deep gorge between the giants of Namcha Barwa and Gyala Peri. Other highlights include Kangchenjunga, Nanda Devi, Xixiabangma, Langtang.>HeightEverest, 8849m>ProminenceEverest, 8849m>Base to summitAnnapurna, Dhaulagiri, or Namcha Barwa: ~7000m 30km, ~6400m in 16km>JutAnnapurna, 3412mPhotos: climbing Everest, Xixiabangma, Nanda Devi, Ama Dablam, Namcha Barwa, EverestComment too long.

>>2883403SS>Southern Alaska (and some Canada)Although not nearly as high as the mountains of Asia or even South America, a handful of giants in this region offer vertical relief as great as anywhere. Denali is a behemoth of a mountain that rises nearly 20 thousand feet out of the plains, given that it almost looks like a standalone mountain rather than as just part of a high ridge like say Rakaposhi, some have given it the title of tallest mountain on Earth when defining it from base to summit. St Elias rises nearly as much as Denali but basically straight out of the ocean, and Logan rises slightly less but from a sea of ice. The volcanoes of the Wrangell group are also some of the largest on the planet. Massive glaciers and icefield flow all the way down to the ocean, it’s amazingly rugged terrain. Other highlights include Ruth Gorge, Mt Fairweather, Glacier Bay, Devil’s Thumb and the Stikine Icecap, Juneau Icefield, Kluane icefields, Chugach Mountains, Kenai Fjords, Misty Fjords.>HeightDenali, 6190m>ProminenceDenali, 6144m>Base to SummitDenali or Saint Elias, ~5500m>JutDenali North, 2576mPhotos: Logan, Denali, Saint Elias, Glacier Bay, Juneau Icefield, Denali, Ruth Glacier (Denali), Devil's Thumb, Logan
>HengduanThis region rivals the Karakoram group for the largest area of contiguous mountainous terrain, it’s not quite as high as the Himalayas or Karakoram but they are still giants. Despite being right between extremely densely populated regions, parts of these mountains are some of the most remote and hostile terrain on Earth, with glaciated peaks above and dense jungle below. Hkakabo Razi, likely the highest point in Myanmar, has only been successfully climbed once from what I can gather, another group also summited but died during the descent. This is a country high point, a popular goal for climbers, and it’s not even that relatively high for Asia at ~5900m, and it’s only been climbed once because of how remote and inaccessible these mountains are. The Hengduan are criss-crossed by dramatic river canyons, many of Asia’s great rivers get their start up here and they carve deep gorges, including the three Parallel Rivers area or the more famous Tiger Leaping Gorge. On the Eastern reaches of the Hengduan you start to approach the edge of Chinese civilization, and the mountains here are a bit more famous and some areas even have viewpoints or hiking trails developed. The true star of the Hengduan for me is Mt Gongga, a monstrous beauty of a mountain that is far and away the highest around for hundreds of miles. Mt Yangmaiyong and Meili Snow Mountain are two other particularly beautiful mountains. Other highlights include Yulong Snow Mountain, Siguniang, Qinghai Lake, Sepu Kangri, Ge’nyen, Bairiga, Huanglong, and Jiuzhaighou. Animal life and biodiversity is not a huge factor in these rankings, but the Hengduan mountains are notable for being the only habitat of the giant panda, who doesn’t like pandas?>HeightGongga, 7509m>ProminenceGongga, 3642m>Base to SummitGongga, 6400m>JutGongga, ~2200mPhotos: climbing Gongga, Gongga, Tiger Leaping Gorge, Yangmaiyong, Nyenpo Yurtse, Siguniang, Meili, Sepu Kangri
>Tian Shan A personal favorite of mine, some of the videos and images with the glaciated peaks of the Tian Shan in the background and the lush, green, windswept grasslands in the foreground are some of the most beautiful scenes I’ve seen. Not quite the same immediate vertical relief as some of the ranges further south but not far off, and from a distance they rise arguably even more dramatically. The very best of the Tian Shan is in China, but a lot of it is in Kyrgyzstan or Kazakhstan as well, and the terrain is a little bit more forgiving, making it relatively more accessible and safer and offering more freedom to hike and camp wherever than most of the other high mountains of Asia. Basically it's good for more traditional /out/ stuff while being scenic as hell. Highlights include Khan Tengri, Xiata Valley, Bogda Peak, Issyk Kul, Kalajun Grassland.>HeightJengish Chokusu, 7439m>ProminenceJengish Chokusu, 4148m>Base to SummitJengish Chokusu or Bogda, ~4300m>JutKhan Tengri, ~2015mPhotos, Xiata Valley, Bayanbulak Grassland, Kalajun Grassland, Sary Jaz Valley, Kol-Suu Lake, Khan Tengri, aerial view, Jengish Chokusu, Boris Yeltsin Peak that's all I got for now at least
