Recently, I had a poor wood
dUck brought to me,
Do any of you guys ever see
Young motherless animals while out?

Anybody ever rehab a poor baby lost without its mother? Show me your critters give me some more advice for keeping the smug little ducker alive happy and healthy so hopefully it can rejoin the wild.

Oh no not abandon but I’m preparing myself mentally for the fact she might fly away and not come back. She’s a good ducker and if she sticks around she already part of the family but like I said I’m not going to cage her unnecessarily and if she flys she flys.

Same. I’m going to repurpose the chicken tractor for her instead and then dig a smaller pond and connect it with a pen. I’ll probably use the kiddie pool until I get the pond ready. Sorry about the shitty camera phone pics it’s hectic during evening times.

If you like being outside and own a gun, why aren't you shooting Steel Challenge this summer?

>easy excuse to socialize outdoors with other people who like being outside every week at your local club match
>soak up sun and enjoy the breeze (which also blows the propellant gasses away unlike stinky indoor ranges)
>travelling to regional competitions on the weekends gives you a ready-made excuse to break out the tent and go camping
>keeps you handy with that old .22 so when you need to shoot small game in that survival situation you daydream about, you'll have the marksmanship
>no equipment barrier to entry, practically any gun other than shotguns or full size rifles has a division
>no physical barrier to entry, the handicapped, children and elderly all can compete, and do
>cheapest of all the shooting sports, saving your money so you can still buy that new titanium backpacking buttplug you've been saving up for
>the targets make a fun PING sound

Come shoot outside with us.

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.

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

Do people still Hitchhike these days? nevertheless, would a person in 2024 even pick up a hitchhiker
Does it depend on the state? It's illegal in alot of places so is it even worth the risk.
I am sure if anyone has tried it, they will be on this board. How often do people try and rape you?

Colorado, really?

When I lived in Vail there were people who did it from Minturn everyday. Busses have gotten much better in the mountains in the last 10 years but I still see people doing it.

Western CO still has friendly locals who will check on you if you're pulled over on a dirt road (like, still on the road but stopped, not off the road for camping), it used to be like that in Nederland and Rollins too but the Front Range got invaded by cretins, drug addicts and van life influencers since the gay jewish emperor took over and nobody does that in those parts anymore.

It’s illegal on all interstate highways in every state. The FBI got together with the US Dept of Transportation in the 1960’s when the interstates were being built/expanded. They took two unrelated murder cases of hitchhikers and made it a national story. There was nothing spectacular about them, they weren’t related, and there was no pattern. It was just used as a scare tactic to keep pedestrians off of the interstate.

At the same time, vehicles were becoming much more widespread and affordable. So while there was a concerted effort via propaganda to get people to stop, no one needed to do it anymore. The propaganda won out, it became part of the cultural milieu, and now everyone thinks maniac psychos are picking up hitchhikers for rape and murder, which is a pretty sexy fantasy but doesn’t acktchually happen all that often.

Then again, the maniac psychos have been subjected to the same propaganda. So when they go looking for a victim, they’re going to the place they’ve been inadvertently told to go: the highways.

I want to get one of these underwater masks with an air tank, but I was just wondering what your guys's experiences are with it? how long do you usually last underwater on what volume tank?
I see aliexpress (lol) is also selling smaller scuba kits, just a 2L tank and face mask connected to it, what about those?

everything swimming/water equipment related is a clusterfuck of everyone shilling different things and there is zero sense to be made. I just want to dive closer to the bottom of the sea and see stuff.

Does anyone use a waist pack with their backpack? What's its capacity? I got a day pack recently that's really light, which is nice, but it doesn't have much storage that's accessible while hiking and was thinking about picking one up to use occasionally. How big is too big? 3L? 4?
>>
>>2758063
Totally depends on conditions. However, if you expect any amount of sun exposure I'd go with a sun hoodie and long pants. I just have a cheap but decent pair of pants and a lightweight sun hoodie. The hoodie's nice for being in exposed areas in the sun and not having to regularly bathe in sunscreen. A sunburn in the middle of any overnight trip is a n actual nightmare, I do not recommend it. For hat it also depends, I actually just use a random cap with a bill that's kinda waterproof. I'd recommend something breathable both for sun and rain; in the rain you should have a real rain jacket if it's bad, the hat's for drizzles.
I seldom hike in shorts but when I do it's on very tame trails (anything brushy always means I get scratched, I still have a scar from wearing shorts and going over a blowdown that decided to scrape open a gash in me). I use exercise shorts I bought for cheap.
If you want specifics, my sun hoodie is an Outdoor Research "active ice", my pants I don't remember but I think are also OR. My exercise shorts are from Target lol. I'd recommend feeling stuff in person if you can and seeing how you like it.
>>
>>2758504
I should also add, the hat is for keeping light out of your eyes here and there and should be complemented with real glasses, and the hood is for uv protection. I dislike hats with full brims but you might be different. I'll also add that I look pretty dorky when I hike, if looking cool is important to you you should ignore my advice. On the other hand I don't mess around with shit that doesn't work for me for the aesthetics, I do not often do hikes/climbs where I can compromise at all on comfort and safety.

there's a much, much easier hike just downstream where you get to see a nuclear power plant next to the river
theres absolutely no signage and little info online but it called "council cup" overlook and that's just a short little walk to the cliffs
less developed, more farm fields
there's also an overlook on the west branch at a hang glider site that is all green hills and patchwork farm fields that you can drive to but you need an suv because the road has big rocks in it (or you could walk the really rocky part)

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

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)

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)

Very likely. It's possible you will have to move though, which sucks in the middle of the night.

Legal if it has a special german stamp "for animal defense". So best buy it in germany.

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.
