The thing I was afraid the most happened today. I had to take a shit in the forest. Holy fuck. I got explosive diarrhea 6 miles into a 12 mile hike, and I didn't have any toilet paper, I had to use all my water to clean my ass, prior to this I had never pooped in the forest, I was legitimately shaking from the anxiety. It was watery diarrhea so it was easy to wash away with all my water but fuck, I had to use my underwear to make sure my butt was dry afterwards then I had to throw it away. I had to walk the rest of the hike without water and smelling like shit because when I was washing my ass some water kept dripping down my legs, fuck my life, it was so awkward, but not as bad as I thought, I feel like I could actually do it just fine next time if I was prepared. Getting off trail was the scarier part, I came across this big ass spider that looked like a black widow, but I was in such rush I just smashed it with my trekking pole and kept looking for a spot to poop.
>>2843863I am that anon and I have never had either diarrhea or constipation or any such issues, nor have I heard anyone mention it except in the context of legit food poisoning or severe sickness. It's just not a thing that happens unless you're fucked up already. I think there really is something wrong with your water or with what they're feeding you with how normalized it seems to be over there. I was pressured into taking the shot (and I think most people where I live took it) but I never noticed any kind of difference in my health. I'm sure some did have side effects, but I don't think it matters for this topic.
>>2843863>Do Europeans really never have diahreaa a decade or is this guy lying?Outside of being sick? Never had it.And usually when I'm sick I know by the morning, not mid hike. Although it could be technically possible to become sick mid multi-day hikes.Captcha: 2000WIt's how bright your ass lights up when you have the american shits.
>>2843577here you go champ
>>2843577I had to poop in the forest once but I just used leaves to clean my ass.
>>2843585This.Dig a small hole afterwards to bury the used ones.I know someone that carries a literal dishwashing sponge for poo-mergencies
Protip you can't
>>2838448>nothing on earth as beautiful as the low Sonoran DesertIs it your pic related? Because if that's the most beautiful thing on Earth to you, damn
Stop talking about NM, just go to CO or AZ
>>2838012Literally any state is better. Why is this thread still up?
>>2842841If we could hunt the Chinese tourists it really would be amazing. until then WA is the best cause people dont bat an eye when Zhao Xing or a random pajeet goes missing in Olympic.
>>2842346I was pretty shocked when I drove through CO for the first time this year and many places looked just as fucked up as NM, especially on the front range which is supposed to be the 'real Colorado' AZ and UT seemed to have much less blight.
>>2844300I have an app for that. But it's ok you think you are better than me for knowing some facts. I forgive you.
>>2844303I don't think I'm better, except maybe at loving and appreciating nature. I'll help you improve if you visit my area and hike with me. Knowing the name of a thing is just the beginning!
>>2844305It's ok bruh like I said I have an app for that. I might misidentify a fungus and you kill yourself.
>>2844285I must confess
i think uncle ted says we need people in the system like sleeper cells so he does want you to be in touch with the world
I live not far from here, im upsetti spaghetti, whats a nigga to do in order to stop this senseless abuse of the natural world
>>2844340Maybe you should stop letting hysterical retarded faggots control your emotional state?Or at least stop jerking of to a highly successful spook science project.

As for me, it's the Osprey Nebula
>>2841064how many mushrooms can fit in that?
For me? It's the North Face Recon. Best backpack I have ever had.
>>2841920>idk i saw some reviews for a nearly 40l bag and the reviews say it suits both a day trip and a week long oneIt falls on too many variables to be able to assure you of anything.How large is your gear, how much gear, do you pack in water or is there a reliable source for you to use, etc.But with the average cheap gear you could probably squeeze a weekend out of a 35-40L.
>>2841942>If you're looking at UL framless packs have to keep in mind the people reviewing them are >1) insaneHey, I'm not the only one with that opinion. I feel slightly less lonely in the world.>"trampoline suspensions" and floating mesh back panels and other breakable complicated shit Anon, it all depends on the pack.In my trampoline suspension backpack the entire frame is metal + thick pvc mesh. It's also removable from the pack and somewhat easy to repair.picrel, although the pic isn't mine.
Look at this giant mushroom
>>2842826Looks like hairy stereum. Is the underside smooth?
>>2842507Beautiful. I'm going on an adventure for Stuntz Blue Legs this weekend with the homies, so if this is *the* mushroom thread then you guys'll be in for a treat here in a few days...
>>2842994>Stuntz Blue LegsNice! The only actives I've found while /out/ were laughing gyms. I thought I found a while mess of libs once, but they were all psathyrellas
Found a shelf mushroom while on a hike today…
>>2842826this is cool
It's officially the first day of autumn!
Pumpkin spice or apple cider? Which is the more iconic autumn flavor?
>>2843298I like pumpkin spice even if the wife calls me a basic white girl for it.
>>2841598it's raining, can't go /out/
>>2841598it's winter here, dude.
>>2841598And it's going well. It's mushroom season now. I've already made $95 selling some of them. I guess I'll get a new tent for Christmas!
Anybody here into Druidry?It seems to be the official /out/ religion. It's all about worshipping rivers, trees and everything else that pertains to nature.Just recently they celebrated the Autumn equinox, which is the beginning of Autmn when the Earth's axis lay perpendicular to the sun.A most fascinating religion.If you aren't a part of it, why haven't you taken the druid pill yet?
>>2843044>GermanicIs this what Amerimutts are calling themselves now?
>>2841967True to form native Celtic polytheism was absolutely stupid. It was littered with inconsistencies and hardly cohesive from one village to the next. The only constants were the Druid class - which fell in a blend of their priesthood and nobility, and their attitude towards animism - which often meant creating a god or wight for every mundane thought that came across a villager's mind.
>>2842526dang daddy what’s up
>>2842526yeah dabble maybe, if you gave a shit that would be on a natural cord not some Chinese drain chain
>>2843748tbf large scale consistency in polytheism is only really beneficial for central controlling powers
>on a road trip in New Mexico and Arizona (mostly)>all the national parks are closedI thought these were MY parks.Anyway, I picked the part of the country where almost every national park is closed, sucks. Elsewhere most are still open for the most part
>>2844246>>2844260>>2844265>>2844267>>2844294
>>2844294>>2844323Sorry anon. Didn’t mean to include you in this.
>>2844246>Unless they are committing identity fraudNo one tell him
>>2844328Once you understand the way the Democrats get paid both ways by getting these modern slaves revocable papers you will suddenly understand why the literal slaver mafia types are willing to revoluionize trannies.
>>2844235Lmao you've never paid attention. They all have the giant snow gates. Just because it's up at 3 am most days doesn't mean they can't close the park.Do you really think everyone even the nps is lying? Some parks are following the orders given to them by the president who they work for, others aren't. But they literally all have gates they can close.
/qtddtot/ - Questions that don’t deserve their own thread>>2793358 (I think)
Does anyone have experience with using surplus military clothing for hiking?I'd be lying if it wasn't at least a tiny bit motivated by larp.I'm mostly thinking of getting some accessories like a balaclava, scarf maybe some gloves and similar stuff.
>>2844031Where in the world did you pick it up? If you are in QC or near about I figure it's pine.
>>2844229>military clothingContracted out to the lowest bidder. It's adequate if you can find it cheap but consumer gear is always going to be better>larpAre you just hanging about in the woods for an afternoon? If so, then it doesn't really matter what you wear, as long as you have comfy foot wear and aren't in extreme weather (heat, cold, rain, etc)
>>2844266> It's adequate if you can find it cheap but consumer gear is always going to be betterYeah that's what I figured. The whole thought came form thinking about buying one of these, since it looks quite versatile in how you can wear it and I couldn't find anything in my local outdoor store that's quite the same. It's ever a full on balaclava or one of those tubes.>Are you just hanging about in the woods for an afternoon? If so, then it doesn't really matter what you wear.Fair enough, though I do want to slowly start building up a wardrobe for some beginner mountaineering and see where that gets me.
>>2844031White rot decay, so probably hardwood. Can't help on the type of tree without seeing the bark or undecayed wood. The rot has eaten too much to distinguish any specific wood grain
Title. Fiction or Non. Picrel fucked me up, I knew about the cannibalism but that was the least of it. Looking for more recs, /out/ related preferered but whatever you like or are currently reading is cool too.
>>2832853Over the winter I read this out in the snow while smoking a pipe. As a big fan of Arctic/Antarctic exploration this and "Endurance" are my favorite books on the subject.Honorable mention: "Death in the Long Grass" by Peter Hathaway Capstick
if anyone has an interest in colonial New World history this is the absolute bees tits. absolutely brutal war that traumatized generations. Imagine what it was like having a vast continent of old growth full of natives who want to destroy your civilization, and you can barely feed yourself or survive the winter.
>>2844045You would enjoy "The Voyage of the Jeannette"https://archive.org/details/voyageofjeannett01delo
>>2844051Thanks fren, adding that to my list. Another one I really enjoyed was "Madhouse at the End of the Earth" about the voyage of the Belgica and how just about everything that could go wrong due to wrong.
get on my level sluts
>be me>plan to buy camper to live in friends backyard>midwest but i probably will not stay in it thru winterAnything I should lookout for? Obviously i want a maintained roof and no prior leaks. Im looking at 4-6000 campers right now and wondering if I might as well drop 8-12k I already have an outdoor kitchen,Maybe I will build a roof or porch for it. Any advice or considerations on buying and also living in an older camper?
I found a 35 ft 1996 triple axel fifth wheel with two popouts for $1000. It was obviously resealed a few times. After a hard rain I found a small leak near a popout.Sealed it up properly and its been dry. The inside was fucking disgusting as a family of 5 was living in it full time. I took a day and cleaned it all out,carpets, walls, ect.Converted it all to LED. Thankfully, furnace works, Fridge works, everything works on it. I plan to build a carport over the top of it. Its like my basecamp / hangout spot as I build my property.My wife's parents bought a new one for 30k. They used it three times, it leaks, the furnace doesn't work, they broke a window, and it just sits in their shop taking up the entire place.DO NOT WASTE MONEY ON A CAMPER.LOWBALL HARDCORE WALK AWAYComment too long.

>>2844081Expect mice. Lots of mice. You're going to go through a lot of propane too.
>>2844243That shed kit sounds cool but godamn i hate metal and would build with wood. If it was my property I would timber frame or stick frame a cozy ass house..>3000 limit Thats what i was originally thinking. My buddy even has a beater for $750 i could throw a diesel heater in and use my propane water heater for showers and dishes...but im about to pay 6 or 7000 for a 2010 tomorrow if it all works like they said.I figure when I sell it I will break even or lose 1-2k after using it a few years>build a carportYeah whats your design and materials?Im deciding between a lean to or gable roof that covers the whole top and also extends into a fromt porch over the whole front
>>2844081>Anything I should lookout forforget a camper, get a flatbed trailer. get a shed and convert it into a cabin or build a box on top of the flatbed yourself.
>>2844284>build a house on a trailer aka tinyhousdYeah Ive also been considering this route and imagine it to hold good resale value.Ive seen some cool designs that have a loft type bedroom area

>>2844155Well I'm still alive so now what
>>2843742Back in the day the only people that got chopped abeseilling off the end of a rope were beginners and complacent veterans. Seems like the zoomers decided to miss out the 'learning how not to die' section completely and now even the good ones are crow bait.
>>2844213They're just too zoombrained to stop for five seconds and practice a basic barrel knot at the end of the rope so they don't go YAAAAHOOHOOOO off the end
>>2843905>>2843815Can someone explain what happened here to someone who knows absolutely nothing about climbing? Obviously the robe went through some piece of gear when it wasn't supposed to, but was this a cascading failure or is it normal to reach the end of the rope like that?
>>2844245>>2843901
Just ordered the largest head mounted umbrella I could find. Are they any good?
>>2844007It's great for mountain hiking desu.
>>2844066No, its how you unlock flight.
>>2844006Hello retard here.
>>2844113If it works, it works.
>>2844010Almost every mosquito net I've seen on Amazon does this.

>>2842716>he has never dropped a bunch of biscuits into milk or tea to make a nice creamy shake
>>2842649>silicon valley bugman looking fuck builds arduino style toy with on off switches >calls it offroad has tiniest tyres and drives around on a golf course type terrain
>>2842721he threw in pillsbury country style biscuits into his soup that is kinda nasty as fuck they aren't meant for that. it even formed a solid layer over his soup.
>>2843104I made a big tarp a frame tent and used fencing wire strained up between a post and a tree, for the guide rope, stayed tight as. I used two tarps one for each side with an over lap. And another tarp cut into triangles for the ends. Worked well zi kept my kitchen and my dog slept in it for a year. Good fun, sad I had to pull it down.
