kayaking with women is so fun and you get to stare at their butts when you stop for a break at the beach

Doing anything with women is the antithesis of fun. Women are not capable of appreciating anything but themselves. They even hate other women.

Kayak alone and you'll be surprised how much more enjoyable it is without a bitch in your ear complaining the entire time.

When I go backpacking I like to bring flour, yeast and salt and make flatbread. Everyone with me loves it but I never see anyone else do it. Anyone else make food in the outdoors that doesn't come out of a bag?

Lentils and hardtack maybe some potatoes
Maybe flour put where it can in the bags
Sugar would be nice too

On long excursions you can even plant the lentils and potatoes

Lentils have the 6 amino acids that your body needs to make the rest of the 22.
That and they taste p gud and are small so they cant fit compactly in bags wherever.

Then bring a phone with a plant identification app or a field manual and try to find all your own food.

You can make candy with the sugar or sweet biscuits

I had someone tell me last week that they put boxes in the holes so only the fish can get it. this was some fag in TN tho (not the actual south). I asked because people do this in Louisiana (the south) where gators and snappers are abundant which always left me wondering why most people have their arms and fingers still attached.

In California, everything popular is so crowded you need a lottery just do a 16 mile hike because apparently they cannot build a road any closer or add more parking or whatever.

So now tourists are doing the lottery and climbing up cables (why not add fucking steps?) in the rain because they won the permit lottery and they might not otherwise get a chance to do it. The National Park would rather let people die than put in steps or a more sturdy way to get to the top.

I'm not from Cali but anon told me this isn't even the best view in the park, that's from elsewhere, but that's the most reputation-famous so people all do it.

The father-daughter duo had hiked together countless times and over thousands of miles — up to Angels Landing in Zion National Park, down into the Grand Canyon and all over mountains across their home state of Arizona. So when Grace secured a permit to hike Half Dome through the daily lottery system on July 11, they were ecstatic.

They cleared their schedules to drive from Phoenix to Yosemite the following day, and on the day after that, they set out on the strenuous 16-mile trail at about 8 a.m. A ranger told them there were storms in the forecast, and at times, they did notice clouds overhead. But when the pair reached the bottom of Half Dome’s famous cables a little after noon, the sky was perfectly clear, Rohloff said.

You have no fucking clue what you're talking about. There are plenty of summits on the east coast that do this and they are PACKED. It would have been incredibly more enjoyable if you were forced to hike up because it filters 90% of unfit people who shouldn't be there to begin with. Having a road go right up to that eliminates that filter and gives retards an even greater false sense of ability.

Also you fucking moron you can't make a road to the top of the dome so it would still be incredibly dangerous, and the entire point of national parks and forests are to not destroy the natural landscape as much as possible before you go off and try to suggest carving a staircase into the cliff side.

If you live in PA and want an alternative you need myhikes.org

He is based in North-Central PA (wellsboro) and has tons of PA hikes on his website. You have to pay to download the .gpx files (I got a lifetime subscriber status for 20$ not sure if that's still possible), but you get the parking coordinates and instructions for free.
There two aren't JUST for hiking, but there's uncoveringpa.com and pabucketlist which are photo blogs that have a lot of info for pa-specific stuff

You dont do any hard outdoor shit, zero, none.

after leaving the army I started walking barefoot in my house because my foot got cramps after wearing boots for hours everyday. My foot are wider and I they no longer hurt. I also noticed calves and foot's muscles gains. I started wearing barefoot shoes to go outside to buy groceries or for driving and they are comfy af and very breathable. Wouldn't recomend them for running, standing still for long periods of time or for moving weight.
>>
>>2756987
"Wouldnt recommend doing things with them" got it
>>
>>2756987
That's about my experience except for running and standing. Running barefoot is just sensitive to form more so than walking. You can't tolerate a heel strike and you really need to build up to it. Most people prefer a minimalist shoe though with some low level of padding though, just to even out little rocks and such. Heavy loads are a similar issue. It's not really weight assuming you've built up your arches, it's all stuff you have to put your foot down on. In the gym, walking, even hiking? No issues if you can track your footfall. But unloading your truck when you have to balance a weird box while you jump down onto gravel it certainly is easier to have a stiffer sole which provides a stable platform that holds rough terrain.

Luckily you can still get benefits by doing as much as you can with barefoot or minimalist shoes. I have very wide boots with a low arch insole for everything else.

>I live in New England, birthplace of faggot ass Lyme Disease, ticks are everywhere innawoods
>Already had Lyme twice in my youth, never want that shit again

I bought a pair of $100 pants from Duluth that were branded as "no bug/tick" which according to the label is some proprietary Permethrin infusion.
>catch tick
>put it on pants
>watch it walk all over for several minutes, completely unbothered by the "kills bugs and ticks guaranteed!" pants
>return pants because they clearly do not fucking work

So were these pants just trash? Or is Permethrin ineffective?

What is the best way to protect from these little fuckers? Between hiking, mushrooming, and camping i'm off trail at least 75% of the time essentially bushwhacking through trees and brush.

Theres hardly anything effective beside of avoiding the spots where they lurk. If you can't, check immediately.

I always carry a lighter for that reason, because they cannot be easily crushed, but easily burnt. Just flame over them for half a second and they instantly die and fall off. Wear long sleeves, put your pants into your socks and wear boots if possible if you want to go offroad into the bushes.

I also noticed they avoid grass that has been exposed to the sun all day, possibly because they dry out there, so you can safely pass dry grass but wet grass is where you need to be cautious. I find the larvae and nymphae to be the worst, they are so fucking tiny, the big ones TICKle a lot so they usually alert you in time.

But even when they bite you, the chance of infection is pretty low if you don't let them suck for days, they will not release their bacteria into your bloodstream before ~18h of feeding. Additionally only the large life stages of them carry diseases because they receive them from previous hosts.

Tired of carrying a bulky fleece so decided to spend a little money on a down jacket.
How warm does the average down jacket keep you; I've seen Decathlon ones that say they'll keep you warm at 0 degrees if you're static but other only list fill power and down weight.

Anon those tests are sleeping bags and are still ultimately subjective to the user. Jackets vary more in construction, cover only a portion of the body, and the since your likely moving a little can capture more heat. The same loft in a 3season sleeping bag would be overkill in a jacket.
>>
>>2758300
Oh, that’s right. I forgot where I was. I guess the things that normally go without saying need to be explained in detail here for the retards. Specifically, down isn’t meant to be hiked in. Everyone pretty much has a handle on its use (it’s for extended breaks) except /out/, where basic shit is mind blowing and all brand new.
