Guys wanted to do the most extreme things with absolutely no equipment, explore suspicious caves with "DANGER" practically written all over them and even try to catch venomous snakes. Idk why this death drive seems to be so prevalent among men.

>>2879542did you imagen yourself as the major when you typed this out tho?I know I did when I read it
>>2879466>and even try to catch venomous snakes.cuz they're cute.also men's lives suck and men are taught that their lives don't matter, which leads to a nihilistic approach to life for a lot of men.
It's just fun. I'm not going /out/ just to walk and look at thing. if i see a cool thing i want to climb on top of it. It always frustrates me when i visit an old cathedral or something and i cant climb and explore it how i want.
>>2880178>old cathedralIt frustrates me that we're not allowed to build new cathedrals, or forts, or castles, or wacky unique stuff in general anymore.It seems the world has become stagnant and gay and boring. Too many rules and zoning laws nowadays.Always funny how these things are now considered beloved landmarks but if you tried to build them today you'd get in trouble.

>>2880159Modern "science" is a dogmatic religion so yeah, they'll say what they have to to not get excommunicated.
>>2880157Yeah it was so nice before we had cars and electricity and floods never happened ever, it's all our fault that they do now.
>>2880162>1000yr flood>caused by melting glaciers>nothing to see here because it flooded before>August hottest month on earth in recorded history>it was summer its supposed to be hotDo you understand how simple-minded that thinking is? Do you know what context is? To wave away the fact that the climate IS changing is simply not a rational premise- you can debate the cause(s) and potential impacts but dont deny the facts.
>>2880160>didnt answer the question>derps insteadThats not how science works, billy.
>>2880153>>2880156They presented the data, probabilities and implications of each outcome, with later adjustments.

I went on a hike last week with some friends and holy fuck, never again. The whole thing became a photoshoot, non stop picture taking, I've never been so uncomfortable during a hike.
>>2875316The meta is hiking alone, meeting other like minded solitary hikers and enjoying each other’s company at the summit or the campsite.

How are you even supposed to approach people on a trail?
>>2880134by walking past them?
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.
>>2880052>Churkovsk, Novosibirskvs>Coombasa, KenyaIt's not even a challenge. I one you get hot black chicks bouncing on your dick, cool safaris, and gorgeous beaches with all year long good weather. In another, you get drone strikes, mosquito swarms in summers, and -50C in winter. The amount of STDs and HIV is about the same.

Who would have thought that the problem with Africa is the fucking savage niggers?
Did you expect them to be smart? IQ stats is the only relevant fact about Africa.I fear for the day those IQ 70 niggers become the majority of the world population.

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

Talking about backpacks and how they perform is still more on topic, than talking about a shitty mediocre anime that doesn't even portray camping properly.

>>2852249No, but I don't need to see it in person to realize that that design is shit for any real functionality other than going to uni with and larping as a classic european. Even for that the design is bad.For outdoors? If you are ok with using that you can use any normal backpack and it will be the same and cheaper.
For me is Tasmanian Tiger.Nobody knows that it the same firm as Tatonka, but stronger and cheaper.
>boomer coworkers: you need to get outside some more man, see the other side of life!>other side of life: this but filled with pajeets, drug addicts, and geriatrics>either too old or young for any sort of co-existence with nightlifeHow does one touch grass without touching the trigger of a gun to their head if they live in a situation like this?
>>2879949Some woods + lakes do partially negate my statement, but I think a young man should at least spend some time in the mountains before he gets tied down wherever he chooses to settle.
>>2879942Either move to a nicer location or spend as much time in nature as you can on weekends, vacation days, and holidays. Just because you live in a hellscape doesn't mean you have to spend every waking hour there. Also have a backup leisure/entertainment plan for when you're stuck in the suburbs. Working out at home, planning trips, watching nature documentaries. Even an immersive video game can scratch the itch until the next weekend.
You guys ever wonder if maybe retarded people are just incapable of grasping the concept of travel? You see a lot of posts like this pop up from time to time where it seems the OP has genuinely never considered the possibility of just going somewhere else.
>>2880031Have you considered that maybe OP doesn't have a car so he's unable to leave his house.
>>2880046then maybe OP should stop being a lazy worthless piece of shit and buy a car or a bike
I posted this thread on the travel board, but I thought maybe you guys would be able to give me some advice too...So this is gonna sound really stupid and crazy, but I'm so fucking miserable and I just hate my life and I'm so bored all the time just tired of everything. And I'm out of shape, and I'm really stupid and worthless. I can't take care of myself. I'm addicted to self destruction and I want to change so bad. I want to do something really dramatic, something that will shock my whole nervous system into survival mode so I can find God and become the Man I know I can be.Sorry this is really melodramatic and unhinged, I'm kinda cringe. But I want to walk.. like from my house all the way to Alaska. I just want to walk there. I'm broke, I have no car and very little money. But I figure I could just walk there, and start a new life.I know it would be hard. I have about $3000 in savings and I would probably need that mostly for food and stuff along the way. I might have to figure out news ways of making money on the way. I'd need to figure out all kinds of things.What I'm most worried about is freezing to death in my sleep and encountering territorial wild animals somewhere. Besides that I also worry about being robbed or murdered by other humans.This is sort of a radical question, so I'd appreciate any and all opinions / advice / suggestions things I should learn / read / buy before I go. Or on the way. I know this is probably stupid but please try to keep an open mind..
>>2877741Christian, is that you?
>>2877745>wanting to do stuff is bad goy!
>>2879695>begging others to stroke your idle fantasy is "wanting to do stuff"!are you at least somewhat aware that you are retarded?
You need Jesus, it's that simple.
>>2878028You greatly overestimate natives in this state. They stick to Anchorage or the villages. There are literally dozens of smaller towns within 60 miles of Anchorage that I would describe as majority white. Outside of that is where you get your crime stat filled eskimo on eskimo crime.
This is a correct tier for a hike with a mutt?Wieners are too stubborn and disobedient as everyone says?
>>2879814belgian shepherd (malinoa) and german shepherd
It's correct if your dog is more of a fashion accessory.Dachshund, Shiba, Rottweiler, Mastiff, and a good chunk of those terriers should move down.Malamute, husky, all the collies, and doberman should move up.The bulldog, pug, chow, and all the toy breeds need to be F tier or taken off the list entirely unless you exclusively "hike" your city's local park.Curs are the true and only SSS+ tier hiking buddies.
>>2879797Your dog hops and jumps around and never had back problems?

>>2873550Omg I'm so lonely.At church I actually ask God for a fine piece of female like Pic related. I cycle through the most beautiful hoes I ve had and pray for their continued health and safety. I remember some young girl who was perfect in body and personality and I think I should have just asked her to get married because she was so young and the streets hadn't chewed her up yet.She probably a meth whore scarecrow stumbling around on skid row somewhere, full of AIDS by now.I just get by. Thank you lord Jesus for anything I have and especially for what I don't have.Jesus Christ son of God have mercy on me, a sinner.

General thread for freediving and/or spearfishing, since I don't see one mentioning either.My personal questions:I've been thinking about taking a certification course so I can learn to do these things correctly and safely. I'm probably happy just doing the diving, but spearfishing seems like an easy and practical extension. I only casually skindive and rod-and-reel fish at the moment. Does anyone have experience taking such a course?I know I'll need my own gear early on, but each instructor I can find seems to have their own equipment shops, so I imagine they wouldn't be impartial about the quality of other gear on the market. I live on the Pacific coast of the US, so I see that a 7 mm open cell wetsuit is strongly recommended. What good/bad features should I look out for on wetsuits and other equipment? For non-competitive diving, carbon fiber fins are almost certainly not worth the price, right?
>>2875419Lakes are normally sort of "boring" in terms of vegetation and wildlife, at least here on the west coast. But then again, most of ours are (at least partially) artificial reservoirs. But I enjoy swimming and diving around and exploring, so I never go to a lake without at least my mask. What's the harm in trying? Especially if you have a buddy to help ensure that you don't get into trouble somehow, by taking turns watching over one another.
Spearo in the 50th state here, if any of you all have questions, i would happily answer them. My pb static time is 4:05 and my best depth is around 75ft but obviously only about 10 sec on the bottom. I have a ton to learn, and im far from being even "good" for hawaii, but i learn more every dive. And no, no one spears on scuba out here, unless you want to be clowned on or get the dogshit beaten out of you by the locals
>>2814016Thats a sweet kagami brother
>>2878803Why do the locals hate scuba fishers?
>>2878803Is it feasible for a non-local to come to HI and do a little spearing without getting the shit beat out of them? If so, which island would be best? I kind of fantasize about just camping in the woods (i did that plenty in Oahu) and living off fish for a week.
anyone else here who can't sleep outdoors? I've been staying in a tent on 5 different nights during hikes, and not a single one of these nights could I get any sleep.It's weird because there was a sixth night I was in a tent, way back in 2021, when I did get some sleep. not during the night, mind you, because I was new and underprepared and was shivering from cold during the whole night. but when the sun came up and the temperature increased, I was able to sleep 2 hours in the morning. and in 2022 I tried sleeping in a Haven tent (lie-flat hammock, pic related), and in this I slept great the entire night.I've tried varying the amount of air in the matress, from fully inflated to somewhat soft, but this had no effect on my sleep. would be nice to hear if anyone else have dealt with the same and found a solution.
>>2879523I can't really relate because I sleep like a hibernating bear when I'm /out/ but I do need to cover my eyes. Where I live sunrise is as early as 04:00 and its workably light from 03:00; so I'll either keep waking up from the light for the last 2-5 hours of sleep in my tent/tarp or wakeup with a splitting headache. Produces a sort of hungover feeling in me purely based on wakeup conditions. In summer I solve this by using one of those sleeping masks I got on a plane, and in winter I sleep in a beanie hat I pull down over my eyes. When I do this I sleep better than I do at home, whether I'm in a tent on a campsite, wildcamping, or on a deployment exercise. My system was always>Try to hydrate 2hrs before sleeping and always piss before getting in. >If you're not actively warm before going to bed, eat a small snack to provoke your body temperature to increase. >Make sure your feet, legs, wrists, shoulders, neck and head stay warm in your sleeping bag. There are many tips on how to do this by utilising garments in unusual ways.>tuck hands into armpits or down crotch and hold your balls (helps stay warm but also a self-comforting action that lets you relax. >any mong can rough it - if it annoys you now it will still annoy you when you wake up or can't sleep. Just fix it now.
>>2879523You have to condition your standards to be lower. Try staying up 36-48 hours, you'll eventually sleep on the ground and overtime it'll get easier to fall asleep
>>2879523when /out/ my sleep is always very light and I keep waking up few times per night.but I don't feel fucked up in the morning, so I guess it's alright
>>2879523So do you mean you can't sleep outdoors or can't sleep on the ground? There's a distinction.
>>2879802yeah maybe. I'm gonna give the hammock a few more tries and see if I can sleep consistently in it
>shluuuurp>leaves bullseye to mark domain>nothing personal kid
>>2876658I go /out/ all the time but if I had ticks where I live I would never hike again. I know this because I've been hiking in tick-interested areas and it wasn't even close to worth it. Constant paranoia and revulsion when I find one on me. Fuck that.
>>2879859I live in a particularly infested area on the east coast all you gotta do is treat your pants shirt socks and boots (takes like 2 minutes) tuck your pants into your socks and maybe check yourself after every outing and you're good. If you're camping you can treat your pack and tent too. If you're one of those people that hikes in shorts and sandals just check yourself carefully if you get em soon enough you won't get sick
I've now been in tick heavy pnw for a couple years, and while I remain scared and disgusted by them, it isnt all as bad as I thought. You learn which plant communities will have them in what season. I just look down after a section of trail I know had some and flick the ones on my pants off. Havent had a bite in over a year
>reading all these horrible stories about ticks above making me not want to go out into nature ever again>wait... what if it's all bots and propaganda so people stay inside consooming and remaining dumb and isolated
>>2879960This, theyre a good reminder to remain alert. but i gotta say sometimes i have nightmares involving them, makes me shid and piss my pants every single time>t. junglefucker
If your right handed, should you buy a left handed or right handed baitcaster?
>>2879581right handed using a right side reel baitcaster is the absolute worst feeling. swapping hands after casting is retarded.
>>2879581Im left handing spinning so it would be left handing bait caster. Idk why you would keep switching hands when you hold the rod with your dominant hand.
>>2879581>Old school: cast righthanded, switch hands, reel >righthandedNew school: cast righthanded, reel lefthandedBoth are legit, do what feels best
>>2879581Just go to a store and fuck with reels that retrieve on either side until you figure out what feels best.Me personally, I get the point about feeling with your left hand so you can start your retrieve quickly, but it just doesn’t feel right, and I’m fast enough with switching hands that I’m almost always ready to reel by the time I need to start.It’s really not hard, and there aren’t that many cases where you even need to start your retrieve as soon as your lure hits the water. Come to think of it, I think the only lure I do that with is a buzz bait.Everything else I either let it sink some or let it sit where it landed briefly if it floats.
>>2879581Litteraly just whatever you feel comfortable with. I hold the pole with my right and reel with my left. When I get a bait caster it will be a left side reel
>americans have to pay to hunt and fish for sustenance >have to wait for permission to hunt on public land>have arbitrary limits and restrictions placed on hunting >has a literal hunting/fishing police force to tell you what you can and can't do>can't hunt wild animals in their own backyard or neighborhood (even with bows)Holy fuck. Are you guys OK over there? Even 3rd worlders live better than this.
>>2878878>ARGENTINA IS WHITE!!!!!
>>2878885I would say that most likely the russian wilderness rivals the american,but yeah,you would have to go to russia.
>>2871798>be american>don’t have to live in a mud hut and can enjoy fast wifi anytime>have actual wide open spaces to explore away from the cities, not the larping ones in the third world that have houses even on the mountainsyou’re an irrelevant speck in the dust coping over your own inferiority
>>2879262Outside of like two cities Russia is basically third world.And that Russian wilderness, good luck dealing with either arctic temperatures, or swarms of flies/mosquitos that will (almost) literally eat you alive.Euros like to bag on the US; but just like they have no concept of just how large the US is, and how much actual, accessible wilderness we have.For all our faults, and continually worsening quality of life, it's still better here than in most of the rest of the world. Hell, our poorest state has a higher annual income than the anywhere in Europe (outside of a couple of completely inconsequential duchies.)
>>2871798Might be somewhat shit, but it's better than 99% of countries on earth.
