>>2805772>>2805745ok fair trade, give us your whites and we send cali all our border hoppers. i know the food service scene needs people out there and id kill to get decent pay/benefits in a restaurant lol.but on another note, we are perpetually in a droubt and our city planners keep allowing swarths of new construction cookie cutter mcmansion sub divisions to pop up soaking up our aquifers. and all of them are 400k+
>>2805772Everyone I knew left Sacramento right after college I moved north to work in the tree industry and it's a repeat of what happend in Sac. Almost everyone moving into my town is from the bay area or Nevada/Texas. Evey day there's a new post on facebook or next door saying "we are moving to your small town and looking for a place to rent we can pay 3k a month". >>2805827The whites are the ones demanding suburbs. The same thing is happening here. It sucks that migrants get treated like shit but our farms wouldn't function without them in California.
>>2805913you say that but all ive seen in these new subdivisions is blacks and latinos. the whites move into the hill country with insane water restrictions and bills that put them behind even moreso. i hardly see anyone whos not addicted to multiple substances in appartments too, my gen just lives with their parents from what ive seen
>>2788581Just let the keep calling us Flyover states. Trust me you don't want these people here
>>2805986Don't know about that, the Folsom area here and Elk Grove have a sprawling burb just full of white folks from Texas. My uber driver last week was a marine who bought his house here because his demanded they move to Ca.

Old thread: >>2774508This is a thread for enjoying a pipe while doing outdoor activities. If you ask why this belongs on /out/, you've never spent an evening by the campfire with a pipe silently enjoying the nature around you, and you're missing out.>how to get startedPurchase a Missouri Meerschaum Legend and a pouch of Half and Half or Captain Black tobacco, available at most smoke shops. You will need a lighter or match, and something to tamp it with--a large nail works well if you don't have a pipe tool. Fill the pipe with tobacco, pack it down halfway, top it off, pack it down to 3/4, top it off again, pack gently and enjoy. Smoke slower than you think you need to, the tobacco tastes best when it is burning cool. Tamp and re-light as needed. If you still have trouble, try different methods on YouTube until you find one that works for you.>smoking a pipe will give you cancerWhile any tobacco consumption comes with some risk, the cancer risks from occasional pipe use are pretty minimal. Educate yourself and make your own informed health decisions.

My recent order. C&D on sale so I bought my two favorites from them plus a slightly nicer version of my Rossi with a rusticated finish instead of smooth. I believe this one has the vulcanite stem, also on sale.Plum pudding was also on sale. Been hearing a lot so I wanted to try it. I think their sale goes till tomorrow so if you have the cash and have been eyeing something, now would be the the time.
Anyone try any of the C&D Nørding Hunter blends yet?
i've found that with the tenon & shank of a pipe, its nice to polish them with a little bit of bee's wax had some pipes which stems would fit a bit too tight in the shank or would randomly do so, and it made them fit perfectly, instead of worrying i'd break themdefinitely a huge improvement on cobs too, since even getting a little tight can pull out the shank
>>2805717Interestingly, I've also used beeswax for the opposite problem as well. Tightened up a loose stem on an estate pipe.
I'm not really that experienced with Latakia, but I've been smoking Nightcap for a little bit now and I'd just like to ask a question. Is Nightcap considered to be an aromatic? The only other Latakia I have as a reference to compare it to is Epiphany, and Epiphany is (I think) slightly aromatic in that it has a slight hint of fruit to it, but otherwise tastes like tobacco. Comparatively, and I might sound weird for saying this, but I don't think Nightcap taste like tobacco at all. To me, Nightcap taste like either fresh linen, or dryer sheets and the flavor borders even on something like chamomile tea. It seems very aromatic to me, but maybe that's just how Latakia normally tastes and Epiphany doesn't have a lot of Latakia in it? I'm not really sure, but I thought Epiphany still tasted mostly like tobacco with a small hint of fruit, whereas I don't think Nightcap taste like tobacco at all.What does Nightcap taste like to everyone else? Am I insane? I have been enjoying it, but it was not at all what I expected it to be. As of right now, I can't see myself ever buying another tin, but I do like it when I end up going for a bowl.

>>2805758>>2805755Great views of Midi d'Ossau
>>2805755which hut? all of them are unguarded in winter, but they leave a room open for anyone, right? i'm thinking about going later this month
>>2805770Its called "Refugio de Lierde". Its an all year unguarded mountain hut. There are tons of unguarded huts all over the pyrenees, they're free to use and usually pretty nice places (just a fireplace, a table and sometimes a chair, dont get me wrong). You should bring firewood tho. French side huts are usually better also, but spanish ones are nice enough, most of them are in some very scenic places. Just take a look were you plan to go, and if it has a fireplace. If not, get ready for the cold.
More sunlight and good weather lately :3
>>2805755>>2805758>>2805760Looks amazing. I dont wanna drag you too far down into gearfagging but what sorts of safety stuff do you bring for a trek like this? What sized pack? I've been reading about winter hiking safety and the level of risk different people tolerate varies wildly. I was thinking I'd want a change of base layers, a bivvy bag and probably an inflatable sleeping pad (so that the ground doesn't drain all my body heat if I have to spend a night out)I was looking at a bag like the osprey mutant but there's a 38 and a 50l one. I think I need to get my gear load dialed in first so I can determine what sized bag I need.

What knofe should I pair with my esee 6hm? Thinking something 2.5- inch blade, $200 or less, esee or other brand recs are fine. I know ow ypu can do a lot with the 6, but having a smaller knife for smaller work seems like a good idea, and I just like knives in general growing up in the country.
>>28061122.5-3 inch*
>>2806112The Esee Xancudo is a great small knife.
>>2801050I got an Esee 4 but really can’t bring myself to like it with the finger choil. I wish the HM models had slightly better finger protection. In the end I picked up a Terava 110 for my woods use knife. I did get a stainless Esee AGK and think it will be great for hunting. I also love the Xancudo my father got me, and picked up an Armatus sheath for my Izula that I’ll have to find and try carrying at work.>>2801187Post about your sharpening kit. I’m trying to get more serious about it, and trying to min/max a setup for on the go. I currently like the Fallkniven FDC, and have a couple strops on the way for testing.
>>2806122I do like the look of that one. Was thinking that or maybe the jg3. Wish they had a 2.5-3" model of the pr4.>>2806130Seconding sharpening kit. What's the best way to fix a rolled edge on knives? Whetstone? Strop?
These things are exploding in population. Why are they still protected? These are monstrosities early explorers feared more than cannibal natives. We had their populations down for a reason. Why are we welcoming back IRL monsters that literally want to eat us? We shouldn't be doing that until we have some sort of reliable technology where we can implant each one with a paralysis mechanism if it's close to a human and has the urge to attack. Hook up a bear nuerolink or some shit. But letting these things roam free is a hippie delusion. Wtf are we doing?
>>2739584>The elites don't want you to know this, but the bears in the park are free. I have 458 bears in my lean-to.
>>2739570if you eliminate bears, deer and other prey populations will explode.
>>2805950hunters exist>>2804513Dinosaurs were eliminated without issue in the long run, if anything it allowed humans to prosper. It's time to face the fact that the earth is billions of years old, not 7000 like in the bible, and many "apex" animals have come and gone without issue. That's life.
>>2805976there arent enough hunters to actually manage all prey animals populations
>>2739570Wouldn't an increase in grizzly populations be a good indicator of wildlife numbers improving?
I've started taking quite a liking to military surplus gear (specifically for cold weather). It's cheap, and works wonder and honestly it's very comfortable. Some of the layers i've bought so far could be used during warmer months, but are people going to call the police on me or do weird shit when they see someone in camo? Right now in winter it's great since no one is fucking out besides hunters and hunters embrace camo, but during the summer months all the hikers are in neon colors, bright reds, blues, yellows and I know i'll stand out like a sore thumb.
Stolen valor is for some douche trying to get a discount at Starbucks. Just wearing comfortable affordable clothes is fine, and you can tell even veterans to stop being assholes if you aren’t trying to represent yourself as military. If you have matching dress gear, polished boots, and you stand at attention wherever you go, you’ve got more problems than caring about how you dress.
I typically hike/camp like this.I mostly get asked if im doin some sort of survival trainin, when i answer "just bivuac" most guys typically proceed to tell stories of their army bivuac expiriences which is wholesome. Im also thinking of switching to battle belt kit with molle pouches to get weight of the back and distribute on the hips. gonna go all forest green with my kit, i wanna become a lil green man in the woods.

Why is this allowed?There is literally nothing that peeves me more than parking lots trying to gate hikers in. Like there's god millions of trails without locking gates and that works fine, but no, you have to make sure they are gone by 4:30 or else you are going to trap them overnight to punish them. Total boomer shit!
>>2805923Are they really making enough money off of towing cars that stray past 5pm to keep this as a permanent policy? Parks with overly fastidious rules and entry requirements are one of my most hated things.
>>2805949Park jannies trying to cap off someone’s career is a great way to experience early retirement
>>2805340as a right to roam nordic chad i cant undrrstand why they do it of how they do it. this just cant be done here under our current laws.
>>2806069because it gives them a petty feeling of power over others to police the landscape, even against harmless hikers, they imagine everyone has nefarious aims
>>2806084if that was the case, the few landowners with direct road access would get into constant bitch fights with neigbour landowners here. but they dont, if a road is buildt on someones land its taken for granted and often supported by other landowners. if its buildt with any kind of state/county support i cant be gated, if its fully private its usually more economical to charge a toll or parking fee.
They've destroyed over half their island
>>2804690>US East CoastYou mean the area with some of the largest and richest mixed temperate broadleaf forests in the world? That area?
>>2805971There's like what, 35% left from post 1920 and most of it is non contiguous.I'm so impressed.
>>2804582For a country of relatively small size and large population, Japan is great for nature. You can take a 1-2 hour train ride from the center of a major city and be right out in the mountains with monkeys, deer, bears, and ancient shrines and statues. I’ve seen things that make me wonder if the whole Shinto nature spirits thing has some truth to it, or at least I get why they would believe it does. The only thing that really bothers me is how all wilderness camping outside of Hokkaido is basically illegal. (Most of the forests and mountains are privately owned by some corporation and they say you can ask the landowners/local government for permission but they literally always say no). And all the legal “camping” spots are complete garbage that aren’t even in the fucking woods. And if you think some random 95 year old rice farmer won’t call the cops on a foreigner for walking into those woods with a sleeping bag then hoo boy think again pal. They’ve got NOTHING better to do.Anyway cool place though 8/10
>>2806087I wild camp all over, as do many Japanese. Here is the deal with that:In a national parks, people and rangers really want you to stick to trails and designated camping spots. Parks can get super crowded and it can be a shitshow so of course they don’t want the destruction of hundreds of people camping. There are some exceptions to this if you are in very remote parts or it’s winter but it’s all still technically illegal. If I am anywhere near main routes in season, I camp in designated spaces and it would be real shitty for some gaijin tourist cunt to mess with that. Again, remote parts sometimes have no people or nowhere developed, so you have to wild camp and in that case leave no trace, try to be stealthy, and move if someone tells you to. >move if someone tells you to. This is the motto of camping in forests in Japan. Yea it’s all privately owned, but a lot of times people don’t give a shit. Just stay for a night and move on, no one will notice. Don’t have a fire and scorch the land, don’t damage trees, and don’t leave trash. If someone comes and tells you not to camp there, don’t fucking argue just move on. Plenty of forestry roads going into fuckall forest that no one will ever know you camped on. Also protip in a pinch, lots of super remote deep forest shrines falling into disrepair. These are generally acceptable to sleep at for a night as long as you don’t go into the shrine of course. Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>2806087>>2806088I do wish they had Swedish roaming laws for camping, but alas Japan is pretty right wing on property rights, which is something I appreciate but it sucks in this particular instance.
Planning on going backpacking and just making it a lifestyle. I'm 30 and have nothing to show for it. I have no future in society, my family hates me but I have to live in their house, can't find a job, no friends, and I have no interest in living the rest of my life like this. This is no life at all. I want to know everything I need to know and have to start off since this the first time I would do this. I barely have any money but I probably have enough to buy what I need. This is not a vacation though, i'm not going to spend on hotels and restaurants. The idea is to keep moving north and sleeping in a tent.I'm planning to take a bus to get out of the city and then just walk. If I "find" a bike to move faster, i'm taking it. The area i'm going to has a hot climate so no need for winter equipment I would say. If anyone could recommend a book or good yt channel about this it would be appreciated. I still have time to learn all this before I go. I was wondering if to start off it would a good idea to buy a bunch of MRE's? I really don't know how I could acquire food without hunting and I don't have anything to hunt with. Am I naive for thinking I can do this? Is it even possible?
>>2802094be a for hire backpacking companion so people do not have to go alone. With a good reputation for being safe and professional I would think lots of people who are unsure or afraid to go by themselves would hire you. You can go with them the whole way, or just met them in the more remote area to help them out along the way.
and other suggestion, you can set up trips for bigfoot/ufo tards were you sneak around at night and scare the shit out of them, all for fun once they paid you and signed a release of course.
>>2804247>casually stops you
Hi, been there done thatdo it, it will help youdo it in spring / summer in a mild climateyou only need thiswool sweather (s)a sleeping bag (Walmart)a tarp or cheap tenta big backpacka knife and a lighterphone and battery pack, kindle water management is the hardest thing, you either have to either lug water around or figure out a way to filter. Personally I used to not give a fuck and drink from small rivers but I cannot recommend that. May wanna boil the waterFood: you'll learn to be minimalisticyou don't need that much stuffI was spending $100 a month in food, can be dropped further if you are in the US and poach a rabbit once in a whilejust do it
>>2802094Anon, dont think it much just do it, and you will figure it out on the way. Go asking people for work and you might stay on track for quite some time. When you come back, you will be someone diferent
hey out, planning to hike the jordan trail starting next week or so, and the full map links on their website don't work. I found a full gpx file online and started adding waypoints for water and food, but realized someone else might've done it already, and couldn't find anyone who had when I googled it. Figured there's a small chance someone here might have it, and could save me a couple hours of tedium.I also started copy pasting the info from their site for food/water/lodging/segment descriptions into a single doc, and figured someone may have done that too. slim chance, i know, but wanted to give it a shot asking here. In return heres a photo from a hike in turkey i took recently. also any backpacking advice for hotter climates would be appreciated, esp anything not obvious.

>Last Friday was a sad day for Montana and for all lovers of public land access,” Montana BHA said in an Instagram post. “We are deeply disappointed that the [U.S. Forest Service] has caved to big money and their never-ending goal to lock the public out of public land by executing this deceptive ‘land swap’ that strips the public of prime access to the Crazy Mountains. Despite overwhelming opposition from everyday Montanans, the USFS bent the knee to the wealthy and rewarded the illegal actions of landowners who have for years sought private enclaves of extremely valuable public land.”
>>2804100What
>>2803944>Citing the Constitution, Ide said “Congress shall have the power to dispose,” of the land. He interpreted what that means.>“It’s a mandate to dispose,” he said. “They don’t have the authority not to dispose.>“You can’t do the opposite of something that’s specifically directed in the U.S. Constitution,” Ide said.This will literally go no where.
