Just ordered the North Face Stormbreak 2. What tent are you rocking? What do you love and hate about it? What tent do you want?
>>2827319There is only one tent that beats everything and it is perfect.But because of that, they no longer produce it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FY-_xcvIzuwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dj6cRfRi0zs
>>2831160I've been using a Kelty tn4 since November 2016, and I have been extremely happy with it. It is heavy, but I use it to camp with my wife and 2 daughters and I like the extra room it offers.
>>2827319Stock image, but mine is similar.
This is a good tread it shouldn't die. >>2848121What makes a LARP tarp? Any tarp? If so what is wromg with tarps. Years ago I bought my polytarp in a hardware store. It's got holes now but I patched them. It's still going strong.I just had to pitch it an hour ago. I never pitch it when setting up but when a drizzle starts it's up so fast.The holes are from transporting it btw, not from using it.
Snugpak ionosphere > your tentIf it snows in reinforce the main bar with a stick.
thoughts on /out/ Youtubers going camping and labelling themselves as "homeless nomads" for money?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=babmqkggnhg
I watched the Will survives guy for a while, he seemed cool but he also seemed like a meth head who will end up murdering someone in a fit of rage one day
>>2854376Couldn't care less what random nobodies do on youtubue.
>your thoughts on loaded question about some specific person that has annoyed OP offThis doesn't deserve its own thread.
I fucking hate them to my core. They often buy up land, then totally ban access to the public, even in places where public access was previously legal, with zero explanation about why, while bragging and showing off videos of the beautiful overlooks they would love to arrest you for trespassing to get to on their website. If they DO allow access, there's never any signage, adequate parking, let alone improved trails. They truly do not give a fuck and I imagine them as hateful boomers who pat themselves on the back "oh the land is protected now!" as they ban access. It might as well be private land. It has all been logged already.
>>2854295The fact you don't know just proves why you don't deserve a trail. Go out and donate some time to a trail building society and realize how the system actually works.
>>2854295>which lady?the lady who answered the phone at the State park. The structure is unsafe she said.
>>2854370anon the area is closed to the public, trail building isn't the issue
>>2851127
>>2854427I guess at some point they are just gonna have robot police and drones roaming around and trespassing will be truly enforced. Shame people are so unwilling to share and instead revel in "owning" land which really just means getting to bully and be violent with others who go there.
What's some of your favorite /out/ approved kinos?
Picking a random kino from this thread to watch this weekend on my phone inside my tent
Akira Kurosawa's Dersu Uzala is a very beautiful, very poetic movie
>>2850465Those Who Wish Me Dead
>>2852048>>2854378This.
Id say pic related and dersu uzala are what you are looking for.
What's the best backpacking location in Europe?
>>2853091cause the AT is backpacking everything is is downhill of that idea. its the hippie experience every normie wants, if anyone of those people went on a real wilderness trip they'd go insane just from having to be alone.
>>2853071ah another finland thread very nice
>>2853188what if you're already too lonely in your daily life and need to take every chance at socializing in order not to go insane ?(asking for a friend)
>>2853190That's the AT. What do you think the shelters are for?
>>2853071either france or norway, depend what you look for
Is it possible to hike in North Korea? It's mountain ranges are basically prime backpacking territory and peaceful solitude.
>>2854412Yes, the fat pig desperately needs dollerinos. Hence they are rebranding themselves as a tpurist destination. It works easy for the chinese and is already popular there. After all they have one thing: Untouched nature. Because they have nothing to touch it with. Qesterners can also go and they will go to great lengths to satisfy your particular wishes. But you will always have a guide with you and you will have to go on the official tour, see the capital, monuments, museums and stuff.
KEYSTONE WAS THE FIRST RESORT TO OPEN YESTERDAY AT 3PM!
>>2854096where at? out west?
>>2854131I'm in the northeast. Full disclosure, I'm mostly interested in XC/Nordic skiing (same thing?) as a means to access roads which are not plowed or maintained in the winter.
>>2854368>XC/Nordic skiing (same thing?)yes, they are the same thing. Get some touring skiis with metal edges- they are best for non-groomed trails/ FS roads etc...
>>2854368>xc skiing in the northeast grim
>>2853213Is Keystone good? I've been to virtually every other major resort in Colorado but not that one. We're going in January and I've heard mixed reviews. I got roped into to going there because of my sister in law. I wanted to go to Big Sky, Sunbird, or Steamboat. Thanks for reading my blog.
why does it seem like all you people want to go out and be “in le nature” but don’t give a single fuck about preserving ecosystems or native biodiversity? You feel entitled to go out and be in nature and treat it like your personal fucking playground, damaging the ecosystem and demanding roads and trails be paved through the wilderness so you can “heckin enjoy it”? And then go home and continue to fuel the 6th mass extinction with your destructive consumerist habits? Anyway, I planted some Texas native wildflowers today to help the declining pollinator population in my area. What did you do?
>>2852409They dont, go to any rez, or just read Ed Abby
People who identify as conservationists are generally liberals trying to gate keep access to public land. Nobody likes trash, we all clean it up, but those guys are always trying to claim some kind of authority and go around acting like cops, like doing three work we all do entitles them to act like cops. Strong crossover between that and damaging crops, trespass on farmland, planting native plants where they don't belong, running around with cameras, interfering with hunting and forestry.
>>2841954people are shitbags. thank you anon.
>>2837495Tragedy of the commons, mixed with some he attitude that somebody else will take care of it.
>>2852702then act like it.
What are some /out youtubers that i can watch and learn from
>>2846171>>2851484C'mon. Don't get your biology education from YouTube.

Where can I go out in Texas besides Big Bend? I am from upstate New York so am used to the Adirondacks.
>>2854305Meh. Who isn't these days? I'm not a politically active sort and I don't particularly give a shit about the struggles of other tribes because they aren't my people. I don't give a fuck about them. I'm just telling you what happened when the Coushatta came to Texas, if you're trying to anger me about something or other you're barking up the wrong tree. We weren't enslaved (at that time, as far as I'm aware), we owned slaves, and said fuck this shit let's go to Texas like many other people did in those days and we kinda fit right in. Hell, in Jim Crow days what people would do is slip the doc some cash to write "White" on the birth certificate because in those days that was important. Nowadays people lie and say they're Native. You do what you have to do, not my place to judge and I wouldn't even if it were. That's life.
>>2854306Well yes of course that's why you're people sided with the Texans. Because the whole revolt was about slavery.I'm a Texan through and through. And I love our history and the coushatta history. But the reason it took almost a month for the Alamo to fall is because Santa Anna was off putting down another slave holder rebellion in the north of Mexico. Everyone was rebelling against Santa Anna at that exact time because he just made slavery illegal in Mexico. I despise Santa Anna for many many reasons. But he did free all slaves.
>>2854307Goddamn you're a whiny faggot. No wonder you're on this board, you need to touch some grass. I dunno if you're black or brown but you need to stop making that you're entire identity or you're gonna go insane.
>>2854319Lol imagine a red man calling you whiny. These niggers never invented the wheel and got beaten at every turn and still claim supremacy. Where was a whining tonto?
>>2854305>watching youtube to learn history
What bottles do you like the best for re-use when hiking/doing outdoors stuff?
>>2851599the fact you've chosen to name an individual ai means your likely an idiot.
>>2852004>incorrect grammar>all lowercase>being proud of ignoranceBack to twitter
>>2851994>SAAR U EATING BY BEAR DO NOT REDEEM THE CAMPINGOh man I guess I got eaten by a bear every night when I used vanilla scent in my tent for 5 years, or when I used apple cinnamon for 10 years before that, or plain cinnamon for 5 years before that. Guess you got me, "saar" I'll never camp again without living in terror of bears in my negligible bear population area with only one sighting of a black bear 3 hours away that was shot and eaten by a farmer. I am so scared I will now burn all my camping gear and only use chinese plastic from now on.
>>2854321>eat beareww
>>2851589It's probably a sign of severe retardation to throw 'metals' and 'plastics' into one mental box each and then make comparative claims about their general suitability.
>crowded af>rocks falling on people's heads>higher death rate than DenaliI'd like to climb a really big mountain but Mont Blanc is certainly not my dream, despite its beuty. Grossglockner is much less suicidal if you have some climbing experience.
>>2852739>they probably never heard of real alpinism>i wish I was at k2 instead >my feet hurt
>>2852299dat pierced nip poking out
>>2852012I have no motivation to climb a mountain but if I did I would want to climb a dangerous one without many people there. Everest might as well be sponsored by Omega at this point.
>>2853078>>i wish I was at k2 insteadWouldn't Matterhorn be better choice than Mont Blanc for someone who wants to be at k2?
>>2852346can i rent a farmers' donkey for a week and walk around the region with it
I've lived in a city all my life. For a year I did live in a smaller town in a valley and got bored pretty quickly, because my idea of fun is walking around town and seeing stuff there. I don't know what I'm supposed to do in the countryside for fun. I can fish and the only hiking I've done is just on woodland trails in the city. I wouldn't know what land /out/ there is public or private, what I'm supposed to do once I'm there, what else I'm supposed to do on a hike other than walk, I'm not interested in hunting. I've never been camping before but I'm open to it. How do I appreciate the outdoors more?
>>2852661just enjoy new things you haven't see before
>>2853404Yea, I prefer being alone. I do like to sit by the river often and just look at it. But I didn't know if there's more to the outdoors that I was missing out on. I'm just trying to get an idea of what people do.
>>2852661honestly a big appeal of the outdoors is because it's a refuge for those who are sick and tired of the city life, regardless of its glitz and glam. so yeah if you still find city life appealing i don't think outdoor stuffs is for you yetdon't force yourself, OP
>>2852661>what else I'm supposed to do on a hike other than walkrelax and enjoy the viewchat with people you meetrelax and enjoy the soundssnacksrelax and enjoy the smellphotographypretty animals
>>2852661>I wouldn't know what land /out/ there is public or privateI'm not sure where you live, but your government should have a digital atlas you can check if you're specifically looking for certain kinds of private/public land. Where I am this is useful beyond just going to managed parks, if you're looking for somewhere there's less likely to be people (at least if it's not hunting season).>How do I appreciate the outdoors more?You said yourself that you've never been camping, that can be a good way to get into it. Start with something like car camping that's easy. Personally, I also like to have something "to do" when I'm going in the bush, rather than just hanging around a campsite. Some things you can try are: - Birding, you didn't mention this, but a classic outdoors special interest. - Mushroom identification (go with your local mycology group). Or other foraging. - Fishing. Try different styles/species: salmon fishing is very different from walleye fishing. Some people love ice fishing but aren't as into regular fishing. - Hiking can be good because you have a goal and you can do different routes and keep changing things up (distance, elevation change, speed, location).
Do you swim in winter? the ocean doesnt freeze here but gets down to around 7 degrees in january/february at its lowest. today it was 9 and pretty comfy. i go multiple times a week and it has really helped me build up my cold tolerance for all /out/ activities. not to mention strengthening my immune system and easing arthritic and tendonitic pains.
>>2853292>MUH HECKIN SCIENCE
>>2853292technically improving your immune system from a poor state to a normal state is also "boosting" it
>>2849494Yes, but I've been a bitch and haven't gone yet this winter. Coldest I've done is through a hole in the ice so probably around 2CBut that's psychologically easier than going in the ocean which is around 7C right now and gets down to around 2C at the coldest.It's such an amazing feeling.I don't really swim just float around and dunk a few times.Goals>better feet tolerance (not sure that's even possible, but they always go numb and it's horrible walking through the snow getting in/out)>better head tolerance (feels like a spike going into your head)I'm also really jealous of nordics that have saunas all over the place next to the water, then I would go in and out repeatedly.>>2850729>>2850730>>2850739Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>2854081>Yes, but I've been a bitch and haven't gone yet this winter. Fuck yeah so I went in today. The water was about 7C. I was only in for a few minutes, just enough to stabilize my breathing and dunk.Any anons on the fence about trying it, watch this guys videos. This gave me the confidence to just go and try it. He says to start in the late summer, but since you missed that opportunity, as did I this year, you can just do it, it's just more of a shock and you might have to get in slower because of hyperventilating.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpIWRypczJ4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YLTFo7Ql-YThe biggest thing is managing the logistics of getting in and out especially if it's cold and windy. You can't get frostbite underwater but as soon as you get out it can be really bad and dangerous quick, so be ready to get dressed and get back to shelter quick if it's really cold out.>>2853292More efficacy than the covid vaxx lol
>>2853305>>2853307>>2854104Thank you for proving my point.
