How can I start enjoying the outdoors?
>>2872701Strict nofap is pseudoscience which doesn't mean fapping to deviantart porn thrice a day is a smart thing to do
>>2872701nofap is pseudoscience for midwits THOUGH
>>2872701>>2872702 /threadBut if you want to larp a little - get a swiss army knife to carry with you, a bottle of water, maybe add some electrolythes if you wanna be fancy, a flashlight if it's nearing the evening and once you have that - leave phone at home if it distracts you. Music isn't worth it if that's the case. Me personally, I like thinking out loud when walking, but if you need bgm - consider buying a cheap mp3 player.
>>2872701>>2872702I've found that the more I learn about plants, mushrooms, insects, birds ect the more I appreciate them. There's something enriching about stopping to look at a mushroom and being able to identify it. Try getting a few locale-specific field guides and identifying cool stuff you see out there.
>>2872701Trying to grow flowers and bushes made me like outside a lot more Also as you get older and things settle down, that opens the mental real estate for hobbies and nature appreciation
Albums that either evoke imagery of being in nature or are well suited for an /out/ing. I'll start: Fishmans - Long Season (1996)

Apparently I'm not supposed to walk barefoot?
>>2864241on amazon Sisttke wrestling shoes. they look absolutely normal, high top style and very breathable.they are an excellent barefoot shoe, way more stylish than any other brand I've seen.
>>2864241Realfoot. It's a Czech company
>>2870013>Calculated risks, my friend.And the risk is lower the less you run and more you know the ground ahead.
>>2864214>Walking barefoot is natural and can be doneThanks for the fuckin wisdom
>>2865193>You have pussy feet, your feet are pink, pale, and wet, just like a pussy. >My feet have muscles and abs, get fucked.Holy fuck my sides

What kind of pants do you guys wear for hiking/camping? I'm looking for something not too expensive and preferably slightly fire resistant. You guys always have interesting recommendations.
>>2872427Well I've never had that specific problem with my Helikons, but the 5.11's construction is definitely sturdier in that particular area. Knee padding is solid, and unlike the Strykes both of the big pockets are zippered and they even feature a couple of internal hidden small pockets near the waist line (one on each side) for additional storage, which I have never seen in other brands. They are small tho, a bit gimmicky, but I could think of a couple of convenient uses for them (coins, clips, pills, a folded note, etc).However, something I've never been a fan of is that Helikon uses a velcro system to "button" the pants, which can definitely be annoying because of the sound, and I personally think it's a bit childish, like something that'd be featured in children's clothing; whereas the Strykes use a press stud + an optional traditional button plus the zipper which feels more professional. So in short, the Stryke might be what you're looking for and I definitely recommend them.Also just as I was typing this post I learned that they even have a short version, so those might be perfect for hot weather adventures.
Gramicci pants
Dolce & Gabbana Majolica-Print Twill Vanity trousers
>>2870500this is a fake chinese knockoff
>>2869511If it'll be 40 or under, which is really the only time I wear pants outdoors, I wear REI Activators. Water resistant, /comfy/, and somehow warmer than a base layer + regular synthetic pants.
When it comes to accessing wilderness, do you get a permit in areas that require it? Are you a permit cuck?
I always do because I'm a pussy. But also generally I'm glad permits exist so that certain places don't get overrun.
>>2872957Didn't they shut down the entire crown lands last year due to wildfire in some part of the country? Tbh that's not a good look.
>>2872764Never once paid for camping in nature. Don't be a cuck. The government already steals enough of your money. Have some self respect.
>>2872957Except you're so cucked, you can't bring a gun onto certain parts unless you're a native. Good luck with the bears. That couple in BANFF a while ago used two cans of bear spray and still got mauled.
>>2873053and if you survive the mauling, there is cuckinuch healthcare waiting for you...
Are campfires needlessly destructive to the environment through people collecting deadwood to make them and the ground they burn? Should everyone just use a gas camp stove instead?
>>2870513One time use fuel canisters are way better for the environment than burning deadfall. Just like strip mining for lithium car batteries.
>>2870513>use a gas camp stove instead?those are for cooking. Fires are for cooking, heat and light.
Yes, burning gas is not harmful at all
>>2870513if you are being a responsible adult about it (not making them too big, not too windy or dry outside, area that makes sense) then they are completely fine
>>2870513no
Unless I'm planning on gutting an animal, why would I need more knife than this?
>>2869797>>2869845>>2869867+1 for the scissors
>>2869766This is the one true way.>>2869760And if you do want to gut an animal you can take one of the larger ones too.
>>2869797>Add a small useless scissor.Bait or retardedI cut copper wire with them all the time and they stay sharp as day one.>oh it's just copperEverything else would slowly give up over time at the edge. Full size scissors roll over from plstic.As for the hook - it makes sense for them, switzerland still ties it's packages with string a lot, I hear. And the toothpick works better than wooden ones, for what it's worth. Personally I think it makes sense for an army implement - you don't want rations rotting soldiers' teeth, and in the field there isn't much room for anything better. The fire steel replacemement though - makes more sense for most outdoor users.
>>2869963I like my compact, but I am looking to move to Companion. I like the file more, and the in-line philips on the package oppener is likely to actually be usable as opposed to the one they claim exists on the combo one. Plus there already been times I wished for a reamer.
>>2872491I mean yea - if you are in a gypsy-infested area that's a different story.
>"You're being a gearfag! If it's good enough for the trail, it's good enough for the trail!">"Okay, then I'll buy this milsurp that I think looks go-">"REEEEE YOU'RE A LARPER! TACTICOOL! TACTICOOL! THOSE PANTS WILL FALL APART IN A WEEK!"Shut the fuck up, you fucking fairy. Better to be tacticool than a gearfag who's in denial about being a gearfag.
>>2872663
>>2872663solid colors mog camos tho
>>2872680Depends what the gear is. US poncho liners, for example, are really good, imo.
>>2872960Useless meme garment
>>2872987It’s not a garment.
Anyone know what the hell this thing is?No, I have zero intentions of eating it. Just curious.Underside in next post.
looks like the morel thread was forgotten so this is the new mushoom general
>>2871543It wasn't forgotten, it was dismissed by anyone that didn't have morels to share. That's the problem with making a morel thread instead of a /mush/ general.
>>2871547false morel joke got too old rip it used to be that 10 anons jumped to warn not to gather these mushrooms because they are not morels they are false morels etc and then long discussion how tasty they aregood times and tasty mushrooms
Necroing the /mush/ thread with fresh /mush/.

13:40 PM and I can already see the moon. :]

Where do you go fishing?
good trout spot
>>2872232this looks like Brazil
There's a snobby and cunty "sportsman's" club (gun and fishing club) in my hometown who *think* they own a particular pond because their property encircles about 70% of it.However, the pond has an entire bank that's public property, and several culverts under a highway that feed into adjacent ponds and marshes.These fucks are notorious for calling the cops and wardens on anyone who fishes from the public bank, and god help you if you take a kayak or canoe on the pond (they don't own the pond, they own the land up to the edge of the water only). They will threaten to "use you for target practice".The fun thing is they spend tens of thousands stocking the pond with fish every year or two, and just can't handle the fact that the opposite shore is open to public fishing and the pond beyond the culverts are totally open to fishing. I sneak through the swamp and fish trout and pike and nobody is the wiser.

The snowy world you grew up in no longer exists. There are those out there who made billions depriving you of snowy winters.

>>2872560Whether on not one believes in global warming has no relation to its effects. Both you and him and me are fucked

Can I get some general beginners tips and some equipment I should start with before getting into storm chasing? I live in an area that has been getting increasingly higher tornado counts every year and had already had a bad phobia of storms in general (embarassing, I know). This year I've resolved to actually get out and chase them. I use several radars and know how to read weather conditions to see which are favorable for a tornado but outside of that I don't really know much so any help would be much appreciated.

Anyone from /out/ tell me if the Kantamus 60L is worth it? Looking for an endgame backpack that will survive the apocalypse.

>>2845410exactlyt. Pole
>>2845670FDF Sleeping pad is great, but for winter use you need some spruce branches in between of your sleeping pad and ground, or the cold will leak trough. I learned it the hard way in winter war exercises during my conscription. >>2845720For winter use that actually looks decent. You end up packing a lot of warm clothes and a large thermos bottle. They take up a lot of space so you need a larger pack. >>2848588During my conscription I often saw the PU-coating flaking off from the inside of the Savotta bags. Did that happen to you as well?
>>2853409How much do you abuse your 'votta? My Chinesium canvas backpack still doesn't have any holes in it, despite being an everyday carry backpack for 5 years.Btw, wasn't that hole caused by faulty sewing? Can't you send it back and ask for a warranty fix? Based on your image, I assume the hole is in the seaming, not the fabric itself.Also, did you accidentally tear the material, or did the hole just one day appear, from everyday use? The molten strap is kind of on you man. I don't think theese packs are fireproof.
