Have any of you tried these wild button mushrooms, pretty tastey
Would any of you eat the fly agaric? Double parboiled? Have a spiritual journey maybe?
not the best specimens but i couldn't get out when the weather pattern was the best, so i'll take it
I just ate the first mushrooms I ever gathered myself in the wild today. Honey fungus, growing in big bundles on some old decaying spruce tree stumps. Boiled them for 25 minutes, then fried them for another five minutes and served them in a cream sauce with salt, pepper and some garlic. pretty good. No stomach cramps and no violent diarrhea so far. Seems like I also discovered some bay boletes today, those will be in my frying pan next.
North Texas reporting in I really wish I could harvest mushrooms but the only ones I ever see appear to be either useless or straight up deadly.

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?
>>2882858My GK1 in .25. The shot curve is actually very good at a medium power tune around 55 FPE with 23 grain pellets for backyard plinking. It's whisper quiet with the moderator accurate with almost no recoil. They are so satisfying to shoot but if you really looking for defense you need a real firearm.

>>2875214Contrary to popular belief an "air gun" can kill a man. Its just the chance of an accidental air gun shot hitting someone and killing them is low from a distance. A bit like a small caliber like 22, most idiots think you have to shoot someone a dozen times with a 22 and that's why every year some idiot blows their head off with a 22 or similar.People get confused too I've noticed alot of non gun people think a "pellet or airgun" is a plastic BB soft air.
Golf club or a spray can of deodorant.I was attacked in an attempted mugging and pumped about 1/8th of a bottle of spray deodorant into the muggers eyes, screamed like a girl and ran off. Mace may or may not be legal but I'm sure your not so cucked you don't sell deoderant.

This 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 or bowl or blunt or spliff or joint or vape or edible or dab or oil, silently enjoying the nature around you, and you're missing out.>How to get startedPurchase a cheap glass pipe (or a simple wooden chillum) and a bag of some quality outdoor or mid-grade weed from a dispensaryor your usual guy. You will need a lighter and something to clear the bowl witha paperclip works well if you don't have a proper tool.Pack the bowl loosely, enough for airflow but enough to stay lit. Light the corner of the bowl and inhale slow. Smokeslower than you think you need to, the flower tastes best when it isn't cherried too hot. Tamp and corner or re-light as needed. If you stillhave trouble, try different methods on YouTube until you find one that works for you. Or you can just roll it or whatever.>smoking ganja will get you arrestedOriginally, the government found that weed smokers, following a careful study of the statistics (at a time when hemp was a cash crop) were just peaceful people who wanted to grow their own medicine, enjoy jazz and engage in mild tomfoolery. Nowadays, weed is being legalized against while the average American thrashes in the thralls of poverty. Put two and two together. Marijuana is just another good thing that was under attack by the government.>muh tobaccoNot the time or place (unless you're European.) Start your own thread.Comment too long.

>>2883160Thats not unique to weed smokers. People rage about anything on the internet. And no one is saying weed will solve all your problems or that overconsumption to the point of feeling physical withdrawals is a good thing. So many things can give people bad sleep, feeling unfulfilled or unhappy and etc, imo i dont think weed has as great of an impact compared to most of the woes people face in life especially in this day and age, but thats for another threadI get what youre saying i just think youre preaching about it in the wrong place. Your arguments would fit so much better if the topic of this thread was about debating the positives and negatives of weed in general but thats not what this is supposed to be
>>2883171>Thats not unique to weed smokersI didn't say it was, I specifically said it was a question of probability. It's not that all of these issues can't happen due to other vices, it's that that's substantially rarer, while a large part of potheads do have some stage of them.It's a bit of a weird gradient collapse where it's established that this affliction can also rarely happen to non potheads, therefore there's no connection between pot consumption and the affliction, which is not a good argument.>I get what youre saying i just think youre preaching about it in the wrong placeYeah that's my bad, I literally was just making a slightly abrasive joke and got roped into a discussion, blame my latent tism.I can't help myself when I see people have a melty and/or pretend the "I smoke weed to help with anxiety caused by smoking weed" people don't exist. Probably a character flaw of mine.
Wow guys thanks for bumping my thread
>>2883188I meant that people getting mad on the internet isnt unique to weed smokers. You tried to make an argument that only smokers get mad when someone talks shit or makes a joke about them, but im saying if you spent more than 1 day on the internet youll find that people will rage about anything if they feel insulted>It's not that all of these issues can't happen due to other vices, it's that that's substantially rarerI disagree. All the problems you listed that you consider a crisis among weed smokers(bad sleep, unfulfilled, unhappy, shell of their formerself), i dont think is solely caused or significantly impacted by smoking weed. Maybe it was for your old friends but i dont share the same experience as you. I think there are larger factors outside of weed that cause those problems you mention. Im not even talking about other vices(although that should be taken into consideration) but just trying to survive in the world can bring about all the issues you talk about. Trying to make weed to be the major culprit is a shortsighted approach imo

But you’re right it’s a shit world we live in. This is NOT the distopian future I was promised… it’s somehow worse.Personally, I tend to get more done when stoned and going out while high was a game changer. Also, growing my own helped me drop over a hundred pounds so there’s that. >>2862593>>2862603Different strokes for different folks. I haven’t touched booze in almost a decade now. I’m still me when I smoke a bowl… if I drink too much I become “drunk me” and that guy’s an asshole who breaks stuff, says mean things, and makes sober me puke in the morning with a headache.
I hope you have been out enjoying the sun
>>2882666Last one of dump. The neolithic sites are amazing. To think that they're just a couple of hundred of years after the invention of writing... Funny hearing about the Vikings writing rude messages on them and now they're seen as historic cultural attractions. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
>>2882667Great pictures. Which camera/film did you use?
>>2882664I've been thinking about doing an island hop on my motorbike, going from Midlands to IOM, then on to Arran, Jura, Islay, Oban, Mull, Skye, Uists, Harris and Lewis. I'd like to hit Orkneys and Shetlands too, which might be tough to fit in 2 weeks. I guess I could see how I feel once I get back to Ullapool from Lewis. I've done NC500 twice now, second time didn't seem as good perhaps because of the weather, was 50/50 wet/dry and the wind never stopped.Would say it's all worth seeing?
>>2882807Thanks Anon!. My nana's old EOS-1 which is the same age as me (35). I took two rolls of Fujifilm 400, one of Fuji Reala 320 and Kodak Vision3 250D. I can't really tell the difference...>>2882815It is quite a boring place, and it's quite flat so there's not much to see? When I was cycling I did think to myself it would be great to zip around on a little 90cc bike though.

What does your backpacking kit look like & what are your favorite pieces of gear you have that are unusual or greatly increased your quality of life on the trail? This is my basic kit alot of the gear is 10 years old or more I have recently added a camp chair & a little bidet that goes on a water bottle. My favorite piece of gear is not pictures but it is a frybake pan which is basically a lightweight dutch oven I will be using it on my trip at the end of this month to roast a chicken & make stuffing.
>>2866193I think it's probably over if you don't bite the ultralight cost pill. Otherwise if you're getting old and have been a habitual hiker there's probably nothing you can further minimize out of your kit.
>>2867661Love my sunbrella, they're not worth it if you're going to be anywhere windy though.
>>2879190Nah cuz your back's gonna get wet on hot days no matter what you try to do about it.
>>2881411Yeah you'll be pretty cold. Before I got a nice insulated pad I'd use one of those, then a mylar sheet, then a cheapo inflatable and it was...tolerable in a warm bag.
>>2866812good to know that the same retarded pictures are being posted 3 years since Ive been on /out/

I'm planning a trip to Moab. Going to take 128 from Cisco.Also planning on visiting CanyonlandsI've been there before, this time I'm bringing my bike and will do some riding /n/ is useless what are some bike trails I can do in the areas that aren't too difficult.What are some nice places to hike.I was up at Negro Bill before.Looking for other recommendations
The needles area of Canyonlands is excellent, a little far from Moab There's actually some good off-trail stuff in Arches. Like Lost Spring Canyon or going beyond the trail in the Devil's Garden area, though the Devil's Garden loop trail is a great trail itself. Fiery Furnace, Tower Arch, Herdina Park, Ring Arch are all nice and not crowded.Fisher Towers is coolPritchett Arch and that whole area.Wish I could give you bike trails, been meaning to get into mountain biking myself
>>2879696>Lake PowellI liked it there way more than I thought I would.
OP here, I am enroute to Moab now.I see rain showers on Thursday.What should I worry about? Is flash flooding a real concern?How likely is pic related to happen from rain showers?
>>2882888Stay out of the slot canyons.
>>2883106Well the rain is light and the passes and off roads are still passable but it'd also very foggy.
How do you brew coffee while /out/?
i don’t really yet. been meaning to get something for it for months now but still don’t
>>2869209its actually not. i dont like the remains that you end up having in your mouth if not careful. that stuff doesn’t just dissolve into the cup
>>2869207Cowboy style. Just coffee in water, heat it. Then splash in some cold water to have the grounds fall out. You can drink it right away and its easy.
>>2881043I buy something like that but pre-filled at the Japanese grocery. Can’t find a picture of the exact one, but they’re pretty good.
>>2877746>That'll be $81.99 since it's #Ultralight™
>"backcountry" camping requires reservation and designated campsite
>>2869046Just walk off the trail and bring a sleeping bag thats all you need, no one will find you
>>2874353You’re new and don’t understand why people use shelters. You’ll learn quickly if you actually spend time outside.
>>2874353I don't use a tent, I use a hammock with a rain tarp, its much more light and compact, you don't have to worry about flooding, and no roots and rocks poking your back as you sleep

Best way to carry water for a day hike? Going to be in Costa Rica for a few weeks and need a solution other than just carrying the bottle around. Don't want to carry around a whole backpack just for a camera and water bottle and those Camelbak packs make you look like a homosexual. I'm thinking about getting a canteen that clips onto a belt loop, are there any better options?
You could probably also hack together some kind of bottle-backpack with a sewing machine and some straps.
also half the replies here being>you will look le bad le gay! with X itemwho the fuck cares you're out in nature, you should be optimizing for what's most practical/comfortable (no clue if camelbacks are either of those but looks really shouldn't matter)
>>2882516>who the fuck cares you're out in natureWhat if a fellow /out/ist is hiding in a tree or up a trail waiting to call me a faggot
>>2882879throw rocks at him and scream>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>2880572Honestly I love GI canteens. They fit the hip, the cap is made to open with a glove on, and the pouch has mini pouches for water purification tablets.
My little guy ain't got no gas flow.Generally when you put in a new tank you can hear a little his and the tank makes a small sound too. I am not getting any of that. Also no gas flow down the line from that. Has anyone ever delt with this? I don't think it's the O2 cut off, I think it's right at the nozzle. It does let out a little gas when pushing it on and off but not when being screwed in.I have tried two different new, full tanks.
>>2882989Idk. I left a tank hooked up over the summer. I assume back pressure on the regulator, but that should have been able to bleed off when I pressed the start up button. I think some kind of way it was keeping the emergency cut off valve shut while also keeping the line above pressurized. I really don't know but if someone else has the same problem of no gas flow at all it was a 1min fix.
Ok. Fuck me sideways.Left it hooked up over night and had to repeat the repair.Maybe I just have to disconnect the tank, but that's isn't solving the problem.
Also almost blew myself up twice trying to fix grandad's old propane torch. I got too confident in my abilities.
>>2882992>think some kind of way it was keeping the emergency cut off valve shut while also keeping the line above pressurized.thermal expansion. the gas got hot and expanded and built enough pressure to keep valve from opening. ive seen it a thousand times
>>2883058Interesting.Thanks.Only reason I'm not sure that is the cause is because it didn't do it at all last year in the same conditions.I'm still buying a second one, these little things are awesome.
Appalachian anons, have any of yall seen a mountain lion out your way recently? I heard that some folks around Shenandoah see them every once in a while, and some people are speculating that there are breeding populations around. Im curious if any of yall have trail cam footage of a cougar, or better yet a kitten.
>>2882688we have sightings of them, as well as oddly enough black jaguars? or melanistic cougars? here in Ontario
>>2882890Ive heard of 'jaguars' being spotted in the southeastern US, I believe they're just melanistic cougars. Even so, the genetic diversity of these populations lead me to believe that they are, in-fact, breeding. As opposed to vagrants from the west.
>>2882890Arizona is the only known USA state with regular wild jaguar sightings. Despite the speculated possibility, there have been no documented cases of a melanistic cougar (mountain lion). AZ also has confirmed sightings of the Ocelot, and tons of mountain lions and bobcats.
>>2882732>>2882875My parents have a cabin in the Lawrentian mountains in Quebec and there was one active in the area about 5 years ago. Hikers found tracks and deer kills in weird places. The government sent some biologists to study the area and they started having park rangers patrol it which had literally never been done previously. They also had a shitload of wild turkeys recolonize the area during the same time.My guess is that these are "visiting" cats from established populations in the west. Even if they are breeding, they likely exist in such small numbers that they can't be considered a "breeding population". The real reason they'd cover it up is to prevent farmers and hunters from trying to trap/hunt them
Ive seen 3 cougars in my life all in central michigan. My last sighting was 2022, but this trail cam in my county captured a cat a few weeks ago.
perfidious rodent. come to my bird feeder again and consequences will never EVER be the same.
Little shits got up under the hood of my truck and chewed up a bunch of wires.Took forever to repair. Next time I see them they are catching a .22 cal deterrent.
i was in my backyard and heard a squirrel barking and screeching at me but he kept laying like picrel and not moving at all even when i walked up close to the tree

Ah I gauged this section correctly baked in.
An extremely basic question, but an important one. There are many ways to go /out/ - how do YOU do it? Do you drive to your nearest state park/reserve and walk the trails with others? Do you prefer to be alone, instead venturing into your backyard or local forest to hike and or camp? Do you venture to the local park and trudge through through the bush since walking a pre-created "trail" does not count as true /out/doorsing? Sitting on 4chan and posting on /out/ does not, unfortunately, qualify with the topic of this thread. Unless of course you are doing it outside. That counts I guess.
I've got a free bus pass that lets me go anywhere in Scotland. I go wherever I feel and just wander about often for a week or more. We have right to roam and wild camping so I'll stay out as long as I feel comfy.
>>2882113Do you play bagpipes?
>>2882117No.
>>2881115>not workingLive in remote cabin on big trail system, ride around getting firewood, water, and birds. Joyrides on frozen lakes, speed runs to town for bar, gas, groceries.>workingCity is right up to a mountain range, lots of trailheads and endless hikes within 20 minutes. I work in multiple locations so I'll also leave a couple days early and get a hike in on the way or just do dayhikes after work.
I live in the midwest, so I have to fly out west to go anywhere really /out/ there. I'll usually fly into Boise, drive to one of the Sawtooth trailheads, and head in from there. Easy to spend a week off-trail and not see another human the entire time.
autumn is my best friend now
>>2881174Why overload words when a specific non-ambiguous word exists?
autumn is the most /comfy/ month, at least when the heat ends. all those colorful leaves..
>>2882477What else are people supposed to wear? Uggs and beanies?
