>>2848260>>2848372Imagine being so homosexual that you can't conceive of watching a video of someone if you can't imagine them fucking you. If you're a straight male then you wouldn't fucking care what he looked like.Fucking fags.
Fuck now I want to go up to Alaska and try to get a walrus skull. That would be sick
thats not forest anon
>When I visited Yosemite National Park shortly after the government shutdown, I expected it to be deserted. I wasn't expecting it to be quite packed — and free.https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/spent-2-days-yosemite-national-142948337.html
went there last weekend, yosemite and sequoia, got in for free at both places. really mad i didnt get more stuff from the yosemite gift shop since it seems like some of it is in-store exclusive.also man these parks are like 60% foreigners, mostly chinese.
>>2849425It's like Harvard and Porsche - at this point its more about the well-known brand name conferring prestige than the actual content
>>2849425>these parks are like 60% foreignersThat's because you didn't go into the backcountry, into the actual park.
>>2849451You've never been to any of the parks have you.
>>2849452I issued backcountry permits for a california national park and 80-90% of backpackers are white americans
Where are all the mushrooms edition?
>>2842943They're based. A lot of personality in a small handsome package. I don't have many around me, just crows and magpies who steal my cats food. They sit on the trees at 5pm watching me feed the cats.
Not exactly Brit, but close enough.Dinner is secured tonight.
Anyone walked the Ridgeway? Looking to do it next year in Septemberish as a charity thing for a friend that died due to cancer last year.>>2843637Not usually as this board has autists from around the world and foraging is very specific to your area. >>2843754Do you get much use out of it? I wear a Tissot Heritage 1938 daily and swap to an ancient Timex expedition with a broken indiglo when /out/
what can I plant in my garden this time of year

Are you guys ready for Everest to become a ski resort now?
>>2848188I would probably have watched this boring shit but fuck redbull, scroll.>>2848401also this>lol i skied (ie downclimbed) the north face of the eiger pls subscribe
>>2848401But now you see how ski touring fixes winter mountaineering, you only have to do half of the work if you can travel at 60 mph sliding down hill on snow.
So what was the point of no oxygen just be to be tryhard "badass" like the whole video is him just slippy sliding next to huge life ending ledges this is stupider then redbull rampage. I'm sure god will find a way to make this man pay for his hubris
>>2848196Seems like they're grasping at arbitrary differences just to be able to claim they're the first, but eh.Honestly good for him. I don't ski, and I certainly don't have the skill to attempt something like that. That's a hell of a feat.
>>2848437all fun n games til you hit one of the mile deep crevasses that are barely visible and die.
Looking for suggestions for lightweight, high energy/protein/carbs food to take on long hike wild camping.I can cook things in mess tins but ideally if so needs to be fast cooked from a small fire in mess tins.So far I have beef jerky and processed rice or cous cous packets of dehydrated meals with vegetables and spices in them. Cous cous can be hydrated in 5 mins with boiling water. Rice 15-25 mins.Looking for stuff I can carry a bulk of but are easy on pack weight while also high in energy and nutrition.
>>2849394>Having to hydrate/boil every mealYou need to consume and procure (or bring) water anyway. Whether you drink it or make soup with it doesn't make much difference.
>>2849394Fucking retards like you deserve to die out in the wild.Filters or purification tablets are last resort in desperate situations when you need to drink shitty polluted or dirty water, not when you are near a water source that you subsequently boil and contain to carry with you.God fucks like you have no clue how to survive in the woods.Stop posting you brown skin faggot
>>2849395For drinking cooking and bathing but apparently those jeet fucks think they can just drink muddy water from a filtration straw and be perfectly fine.Retards
>>2848601>I am not carrying a fucking cast iron skilletThat is why no one will remember your name.
>>2849396>Filters or purification tablets are last resort in desperate situations when you need to drink shitty polluted or dirty water, not when you are near a water source that you subsequently boil and contain to carry with you.can you explain further?qwhat's teh difrenrecne betweennevermind
What's the biggest threat when you're /out/? A wild animal or a homeless tweaker?
>>2834161bear attack
>>2849275That depends where you go. BLM and Forest Service land near my town is infested with tweakers living in broken-down RVs, surrounded by mountains of trash and scrap they somehow hauled back, and usually with herds of uncontrolled violent pitbulls attacking anybody who's unlucky enough to stray too close.
>>2849286Grand Junction?
>>2849313Bend
>>2836350damn always wondered what those chill little dudes where called. saved a bunch from pools over the years. thanks
https://www.sfgate.com/national-parks/article/national-park-workers-struggling-survive-21169466.phpThe national parks are slowly collapsing. What are we going to do about it?
>>2849156more than you son.
>>2849011Sell parts of it as real estate
>>2849156>going to tourist infested parking lots naw
>>2849276>memetakenaw
>>2849024Imma keep it a buck with you. The national parks are really important for /out/ing. If you don't understand that... this isn't the right board for you.
Moving to Madison soon, so how would you guys rate Wisconsin? I did quite a bit of fishing there growing up, which was fantastic, but what about everything else? Hiking, homesteading, skiing, etc. I've heard are all pretty good there.
>>2847889Anywhere in particular within the Dells? The Dells looks (from minimal inspection) to be like Hocking Hills where its slot canyons so you can't really get a longitudinal view without a drone.
>>2848025Yer
Lived in Madison for seven yearsThe Ice Age Trail is neat. The most spectacular landscapes will be found where the rivers cross the Driftless Area, like Spring Green and La Crosse. The northern woods are great for fishing and just being in the woods by yourself. Kwik Trip kicks ass, they're all over the place and have cheap, hot food all the time. I didn't spend much time near Lake Michigan but it's certainly there for you to explore.
>>2847378Fuck you the moccasin bar has the worlds largest Muskie in it.
I have Wisconsin relatives and they are an eclectic bunch of functional alcoholics. I brought my cousin to a bar in Fort Collins for a beer pong tournament and he got denied because he was accused of being a ringer. And truthfully he actually was. Dude doesn't miss. At my fraternity he brought a case of Kessler whiskey and made us old fashioned and whiskey sours from bottled sundrop. Even muddled the sugar, cherries orange and bitters. He was the last to pass out and up at 7am, beer in hand. >>2847571Wisconsinites are nothing more that Cajun Canadians. They have a unique dialect, friendly as fuck, live in woods and farmland, live beer cheese and maple syrup. Canadians of the deep south.
So I have been looking for hiking boots that double as everyday leather boots too. Been looking at the jim green collection. And I am torn between a razorback, a normal AR8 and a tyre wedge AR8.> The normal AR8 are nice, with a good sole, but they are a bit chunky > The tyre wedge AR8 are lighter, but I am unsure if the sole is good for hiking> The razorback is probably the best one for hiking, but it looks perhaps too "outdorsy"Ignore prices btw
>>2845969Since this is a show thread, I wanted to ask if any Anons knew of good WALKING shoes, either for urban or innawoods. I'm a walker by nature and it's actually rather difficult to find any recommendations about this, it's always running, hiking, skating, or sports but never long distance walking. For context I will sometimes go on 6 hour plus walks just to daydream and be alone with my thoughts.
>>2849366Just go barefoot
>>2849367Maybe if I was offroading but you can't go barefoot on artificial turf it will screw up your feet.
>>2849326I got the Robust African Troopers. They work as well as any leather boot when it comes to water. HOWEVER, they seem to be missing a seam on the top of it so there's always a small area that will let the water in no matter how much you waterproof it. Some reviewer on Youtube mentioned this as well. Leather always take longer to dry, I just take out the insoles and put newspapers in them or carefully let them sit near the fire. "Normal" (Scandinavia) rain and snow works fine, it's the more heavy rain and prolonged melted snow that causes issues. Still the best boots I've ever used and I still wear it in the winter with backup socks unless it's so bad that I need snow shoes. I use them for rough terrain, for any other terrain I go with my trailrunners or what the guy above said; Vivobarefoot, I like my Vivo Trackers.>>2849366People tend to recommend the Merrel Moab or Topo shoes. Personally I've never tried them since I got my Salomon Speedcross Wide. They work, but I got nothing else to compare it to except for leather boots and Vivobarefoot Tracker.
>>2849373where are you going on a 6 hr walk that is all artifical turf
I'm from Texas, born and raised, and I think you're all batshit insane for going out into subzero temperatures to go camping. What's the fucking point? How is that enjoyable? Follow the birds and go south for the winter, there's plenty more nature /out/ there you haven't seen yet, and it's not covered in a foot of snow so you can actually enjoy it. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
>>2849271Same, but for me it was 25-31 with California. I honestly would've gone back already butI logistical details pushed it back a year. As soon as I turned 30 a light switch flipped in my head and I was like: "I need to get out of here NOW." It can be fun to go away in your 20's to explore and enjoy the warmth, but eventually you realize where you started was the best place of all. There and Back Again, like The Hobbit.
>>2848622Aren't you the same fags that when it starts to barely snow out you guys freak the fuck out lose all brain function? I get 100° Summers and -10 in Rural NY and we all do fine. OP is a pussy
>>2849365Bilbo and Frodo both ditched the shire
>>2849229>Not everybody has money to go that farNo wonder this whole thread is butthurt. You couldn't leave for greener pastures if you wanted to, so if you act like you don't want to then you feel less trapped. Makes sense.
>>2849368It's more like *if* it snows, then schools usually give the kids the day off. If there's a hard freeze only those in poverty will have any issues, if you're not a poorfag you'll fare just fine. There's always a bunch of wrecks from retards running summer tires over icy bridges. Most people are not prepared for freezing weather unless they moved here from a much colder state.
KEYSTONE WAS THE FIRST RESORT TO OPEN YESTERDAY AT 3PM!
>>2848211Read "Staying Alive in Avalanche Terrain" by Bruce Tremper at least before you think about going out. It's basically the Bible for this stuff. Picrel is from that book and describes the danger of Backcountry skiing pretty concisely.
>>2848241Great read, but it's no substitute for an intro to backcountry course and/or going out with experienced friends.
ANDES TOWER HILLS MAY OPEN TOMORROW SKIING IS IMMINENT IN THE MIDWEST
>>2848242>>2848241I was born with a complete knowledge of the outdoors because I'm not a woman
East Coast resorts are starting to open too after the recent storm cycle <3
I want to become more outdoorsy, but I have little to no knowledge of how. I wanna start fishing, camping and hiking, but I have no clue how to start. I don't trust myself to even start a bonfire. But at the same time, I don't have any friends or family that are into this stuff. Any tips?
>>2845786>caring about becoming "outdoorsy"bitch nigga if your first concern is to get the "outdoorsy" label you're already NGMI
>>2848987You mean I can't go to rei and get a $600 Cotopaxi jacket and wear it around my office like I'm some sort of badass?
>>2845786go for a little walks by yourself first and find a community of normie hikers and make friends. they'll show you the basics just to get things started and later you'll decide yourself what do you personally want from going /out/.
>>2845786just do something, what is currently getting me into hiking is really just having been outside in some amazing places outside of my own countries on hikes and seen some breathtakingly beautiful nature. so now there is actually a drive to experience more.
>>2847519What about now, bro? It's been nearly another two weeks, have you gone out since then?
What's it like permanently living on a sail boat and sailing around the world? It seems to be the only way you can truly be free in the modern world. I'm not naive, there is obviously risks, but if you aren't an idiot and get sufficient experience beforehand are you most likely to be fine? Any other interesting/useful information is also appreciated.
>>2849079Or lots of singular swimming greenhouse pots trailing after you in a net like structure.
>>2849082:O
>>2849082>>2849082Two drifters meet, something needs to be exchanged
>>2847522I live on my sailboat (cs36t) about 6 months a years the other six months I am working away from my home port. I've had it for about 12 years now bought it for 44k and put in it more then 50k so around 100k total invested in it. Don't regret it at all went south 8 years ago alone from east Canada to Bahamas had a blast and will do it again soon.
>>2849001I would say that growing plants on a boat is a massive pain in the ass. You need fresh water, soil, decent weather, pollinators, maybe a way to keep plants away from the sun. Also as one anon said you would have a problem with space. If you can solve all these problems well good job
Why haven't you gone winter camping yet this season /out/?What, are you scared of a little cold?
>>2848992>North African clubs you in the head while you sleep
>>2848995They don't dare go into the trees, it would be the opposite of anything they would think to do. And if they did, they would be there with me haha. You don't fear random black guys while camping do you?
>>2848387>he has no snow in novemberit must suck to be a mountainlet>>2848984fall in the valleys, winter in the mountainsfeels good man
>>2848846Yes. The jackets are nice and the level 7 pants are great for snow.
just got the first snow hereall 5 millimeters of it
How important do you think a survival knife is?Do you think it is a rather not needed item thats need can be superseded by a usual every day knife?It is easier to just snap logs for a fire than to hack them with a survival knife.This is of course not including raw survival where you are needing bushcraft and hunting skills to actually survive. Just general non normie tier camp holiday woodland camping.
>>2847550sweet
Two decades of being out and I have yet to use my knife for anything other than gutting fish or otherwise preparing food.
I have this Kabar Potbelly that I would call my "survival" knife. It's handy for chopping firewood and other meme bushcraft type stuff. Pretty sturdy, dug and hammered stuff with it. Sheath has a big pouch that i can fit plenty of stuff in. I'm confident enough with it, this plus a saw & multi tool and you are golden. Been thinking of getting a swiss army knife to put in the sheath pouch instead of bringing my leatherman
>>2847614>he's never cut rope/cordage>he's never de-barked a log>he's never made anything with wood>he's never made a pointed end on a stick>he's never used a ferro rodPretty grim two decades.
>>2830684>use it all the time working in the bush>>2839914just pretending?
