Anybody full-time /out/? I'm sick of working my ass off and would rather do something part time remote and live the camping life. Is it viable? I hear some van lifers love it and some regret it and go back to normie rentoid life.
>>2876299So you're too dumb to read but (presumably it's (You)) resort to calling others >>2876292?Gas stove specifically mentioned:>>2876287
>>2876300No it wasn't me. I'm the guy who asked about cooking.
>>2876299You don't have to live like a hobo bro, get an electric or propane cooktop stove.
>>2876305For a start doing short trips it will do. Like some said ITT can't live in the woods anyway.
>>2875652Any career that can be done remote makes me miserable. I have to work on physical things and that means having a permanent shop. In theory I could have my own solo business and live in the middle of nowhere if I wanted if I could come up with a few hundred grand for startup money, though, and I hope to do so someday.
Sorry if I've just insulted your favorite /out/ location but a few months ago I made a thread with mountains captioned as Appalachian locations and nobody could tell something is wrong, even though one of the pics was from Czechia, others were from Poland and none was actually from Appalachia. To make things even worse, I had to stop myself from using the highest parts of Carpathians cause they just look too stunning to be Appalachia. Basically Appalachia looks like one of these mountain locations I visit because they're cheaper than ones with more dramatic landscape and if I wanted to go on holyday by plane, I certainly wouldn't choose Georgia (Appalachia) over Yosemite or Georgia (Caucasus).But maybe I'm wrong and someone who actually visited Appalachia can tell me why are they truly special?
>>2871622You need to go back.
Black Bear Scat
>>2868373you can drive an hour out of Atlanta and get a similar pic. what's your point?
>>2871707I've been to Joyce Kilmer memorial forest a few times, it's really magical in west NC
>>2876693I have yet to do even the easy loopI mean it's not nothing - 200 ft is not nothing, but the internet says the hard loop has some big trees too. And the Hangover is just too long and hard of a hike for me but it seems really nice. I did the paved drive to the little wooden gazebo overlook thingy nearby looking towards the main smokies and that was nice, but a little hazy.
Discuss nudism. Is it something you grew up with, or found later in life? Have you ever considered giving it a try?I wanted to try making a thread on a blue board in the hopes that there could be a serious discussion instead of the degenerate gooning the occasional nudism thread devoles into on /b/.
>>2859239>sharing fruitsYou mean drinking wine? Sounds good
>>2874308i did it with a long time friend (both male) while tripping on mushrooms and it was totally fine
>>2874308I'm not reading the thread so I dunno if anyone's been the enlightened yuro yet but here goes I've literally never been in a sauna with a towel on. First day at a new gym, thousandth day at gym- I'm using my towel to dry off, not to hide my tush and hog. But actual nudism grosses me out. Mostly because it's co ed, I think. I mean I've seen my dad, grampa, uncle etc naked multiple times, totally normal to me. But I've only seen my female family members naked a few times accidentally and it made me want to blind myself. Something about nudism is just inherently clowny to me. But seeing strangers and people I know naked is completely fine by me as long as it's for an actual legit reason like being in a sauna or shower room or nobody brought swimwear to the lake trip.
>>2876584Co ed means co-educational. And what cucked place do you live where the saunas are segregated by sex?
>>2876643I know what co ed means you tard.
The nature is harsh, dry, not welcoming, the people are very dumb and either friendly if they can't actually help you, annoying when they want to help you ged rid of all cash in your wallet or rude when they don't care for your existence.Frequent interaction with the wild animals is what made it worthwhile though.
>>2874108He didn't say it was safe just that it's relatively less dangerous. Some folks just kill you regardless of payment.
>>2874067thats very hard these days anywhere in the western world
I will never go backpacking in any form in Africa
>>2860096monke
>>2860085>>2860095what types of animals did you see? And did you do a safari or are you able to just go out in nature and find random animals? I've done a safari in Kenya which was great, I've thought about trying West Africa next.>>2860096is that a chimpanzee??>>2860087that's comfy though. They are living the /out/ lifestyle.
What's the best form of self defense you can get outside of a firearm? I've been looking at things like high powered CO2 kinetic round launchers and lower powered pepper ball launchers, but I'm not entirely sure that kind of thing would be effective at stopping much of any kind of threat.I'd like to think the pepper balls would be more effective at stopping a human threat, maybe there isn't a kinetic round launcher out there that's powerful enough to work without being just a gun. I'd also like to ward off wild animals and violent dogs. Any ideas?
A long spear that doubles as a walking stick
>>2875211Pepper gel is more effective than pepper balls. The "hard2hurt" YouTube channel tests all the popular less than lethal self defense memes on himself and his friends.
>>2876352no im not. i install and service co2 cooling systems at work they run on the same gas filling for decades. i have a feinwerkbau co2 gun its never been depressurized as long as i owned it so since before 2000.im a guy who work with pressurized gasses in all kinds of ways and i have never heard of this before, thats why im calling it bullshit.
>>2875211The best form of self defense besides firearm is to not being around people.
>>2875621>large knifeOr combine the knife with your hiking pole and you have a spear. That gives more reach and is generally better suited for defense.
Should I buy this beehive for honey profit? I really like bees
>>2876354How hard is it to get one box populated I thought about buying wood to make a box next year and buy a queen online.>>2876510Honey contains a lot of benefitial substances and its about how much you take. Best use it as sweetener.
>>2876530i initially tried to catch a swarm, i bought the scent lure and everything but it didnt work so i had to buy the bees. now i set an empty hive beside the full hive and eventually they move in when the population of the first hive is too big. bees swarm mainly in spring. you could probably catch a hive if you have some beekeepers near you. the courts have already ruled that catching your bees from your neighbors hive is not theft. fwiw
>>2876354I've been wanting to do beekeeping for several years now and haven't pulled the trigger. Seems like there's so many things that can go wrong and set you back most of your investment. Have you ever had problems with mites? Racoons/bears?
>>2876336>for profityoull probably have to keep bees for the next 30 years to recoup the cost of this thing
>>2876544i was worried about that stuff too but after alot of stress they seemed fine. they just kinda do their thing and i get the honey every couple months. i ratchet strapped it down to keep raccoons out and havent had a problem. everything went pretty good and its pretty turnkey once you get it going. it really helped my garden alot. try to find a beekeeper in your area or join a beekeeping club. they now how to do and where to get everything. i actually dont know if my bees are doing good or not all i know is there are alot of them and they are making honey so i assume they are doing good.

>>2870821Gardener here. I agree. Spray cedar oil to kill them without poisoning yourself. Its not cheap though
explain that to me again
I've got these niggers on a cherry blossom. Not sure if their gook beatles or asiatic garden beatles.
Reads like a Wesley Willis song. Had them at a property I landscaped in CO. We just got soapy water and picked them up individually. There only self defense mechanism is jumping down so don't let them do that. Also they orgy all day and live on there food. Absolute best life imaginable
>>2870821Ah, great. Another Asian plague we'll have here in Europe pretty soon, then. Can't wait.
The snowy world you grew up in no longer exists. There are those out there who made billions depriving you of snowy winters.
>>2876250The absolute weight of the bomb comment.. crazy
>>2857989I don't even think its greenhouse gases or whatever. Its simply just heat. We as human civilization create a ridiculous amount of heat. Its the simplest and most logical explanation.
>>2876270>We as human civilization create a ridiculous amount of heat. Its the simplest and most logical explanation.You are incredibly stupid if you think that is "logical." Humans produce negligible amounts of heat compared to the 1361 W / m^2 that the Earth receives from the Sun.
>>2876497Now the surface of the Earth is Roughly 1.29499406e+14 m2. Only 1/2 is pointed at the sun, so let's say on 1/4 of it gets the full 1361 watts. That's 1.7624869e+17. Humans produce very roughly 1.9e+12 watts. So 10000 times less.
>>2876500dangyouuuu!,,,Mister Sun!
Are you going? Part of a camp or not? How should somebody prepare?
Fuck no, I wouldn't be caught dead at fucking Burning Man, or Rainbow Gathering, or any of those fucking bullshit things. Find me on BLM/National Forest land with my homies. Or don't, actually.
>>2875695Yes and yes. Costs have ballooned to an impractical point, this is by design. It's trying to prevent normal people from camping. >>2875730No.
>>2875737Because you and the homies dont want to be disturbed eh You dirty dogs
>>2875737Burning man is held on the same spot of BLM land every year, they even have a permit. The rainbow gathering is generally held in some national forest
>>2875737>BLM/National Forest land with my homiesThat's basically what Burning Man or Rainbow Gathering is.
>take out friend on a night hike up to this mountain >he says he heard someone calling his name on the way down>cant stop talking about it>plan on going on my own tonight to see what it was>we also found a cross near the summitwas it some demon/cryptic trying to lure him out the trail or what?
>>2875531You should organize a special needs hike. You all would have more in common than you think.
>>2875501he thinks a common phenomena is something special, and now is obsessed with itit sounds like he gets really invested in stupid random bullshit a lot
One time i thought I heard something but the i was wrong and then I lived my life like normal instead of dwelling on mishearing something like some opt in skitzo.
>>2875501[spoiler]feed the forest anon[/spoiler]
OP, are you the same idiot who thought an oak tree in a clearing was a clear sign of satan worship?
i get a ton of leftover water from making pasta and other cooking stuff, but that water has salt in it, starch at that or when it comes to baking there might be sugar in it. none of those are good for a garden, salt kills, starch idk and sugar attracts bugs. is there a way to purify those? it feels like a waste to toss it all away down the drain, because those are several liters that could be used.
>>2875402How long were you a lake before being incarnated as a human?
>>2875386You could build a passive condenser using the sun.A large flat black container with an angled lid that collects condensation and runs it off into a collection container.But your yield of clean water would be pretty low, not really cost effective.
>>2875386You're overthinking anon, just throw it outside and let the soil handle it. Your pinch of salt in the pasta water isn't going to do shit
What climate are you in? Salting really only is a problem in areas which don't have the rainfall to flush it. Salts are minerals anon, plants like minerals to grow. I I dilute seawater and use it as a foliar spray for trace minerals. Semi-humid subtropics here.
>>2875386>is there a way to purify those?The starch in pasta water is a Good Thing. And you don't need to put salt in your pasta water.

>>2876442>>2875476If you have a tight group it’s the way to backpack. I backpack with two girls I used to film content with. We basically assign roles: tent & habitat, water & necessities, food & emergency. Responsibilities for planning are split up, then before trip we weigh everything out and distribute. The smaller girl is only 5’1” (perfect pear body) so generally we let her carry some denser items while me (5’10) and the other (5’7” thin but firm and fit) carry longer packs with more flexibility. We once filmed content in the woods but I swear the animals heard us and gathered round to watch.
Zpacks has a lightweight 3 person which can possibly fit 4 if you really like the other person
>>2875399Walmart tents are heavy?You one of them Onions boys I keeps hearin' bouts??
>>2875354>Any recommendations?Personally I wouldn't carry a 4P on my back unless it's for a thing.. Get 2 x 2P. You'll be a lot happier.
>>2876488>a thing..Should read : a sex thing.
Does this actually work?
>>2874544You just wanted to post gayshit anon
>>2874547That's a woman
>>2874549That is a very manly woman
>>2874550YESnot feeble and weak like japanese woman
>>2874544Dubs. Idg the point of it, but i will try this technique next time i go camping with a biological woman (i havent given up yet bros)
How do you brew coffee while /out/?
>>2869207Stove. Gas. Water. Instant Coffee
>question about coffee>pic is coffeeIs this some kind of trick
>>2869207i don't, coffee is shit
>>2869207Doordash Starbucks.Those dipshits will deliver anywhere for a tip
