why does it seem like all you people want to go out and be “in le nature” but don’t give a single fuck about preserving ecosystems or native biodiversity? You feel entitled to go out and be in nature and treat it like your personal fucking playground, damaging the ecosystem and demanding roads and trails be paved through the wilderness so you can “heckin enjoy it”? And then go home and continue to fuel the 6th mass extinction with your destructive consumerist habits? Anyway, I planted some Texas native wildflowers today to help the declining pollinator population in my area. What did you do?
>>2852409They dont, go to any rez, or just read Ed Abby
People who identify as conservationists are generally liberals trying to gate keep access to public land. Nobody likes trash, we all clean it up, but those guys are always trying to claim some kind of authority and go around acting like cops, like doing three work we all do entitles them to act like cops. Strong crossover between that and damaging crops, trespass on farmland, planting native plants where they don't belong, running around with cameras, interfering with hunting and forestry.
>>2841954people are shitbags. thank you anon.
>>2837495Tragedy of the commons, mixed with some he attitude that somebody else will take care of it.

Where can I go out in Texas besides Big Bend? I am from upstate New York so am used to the Adirondacks.
>>2854305Meh. Who isn't these days? I'm not a politically active sort and I don't particularly give a shit about the struggles of other tribes because they aren't my people. I don't give a fuck about them. I'm just telling you what happened when the Coushatta came to Texas, if you're trying to anger me about something or other you're barking up the wrong tree. We weren't enslaved (at that time, as far as I'm aware), we owned slaves, and said fuck this shit let's go to Texas like many other people did in those days and we kinda fit right in. Hell, in Jim Crow days what people would do is slip the doc some cash to write "White" on the birth certificate because in those days that was important. Nowadays people lie and say they're Native. You do what you have to do, not my place to judge and I wouldn't even if it were. That's life.
>>2854306Well yes of course that's why you're people sided with the Texans. Because the whole revolt was about slavery.I'm a Texan through and through. And I love our history and the coushatta history. But the reason it took almost a month for the Alamo to fall is because Santa Anna was off putting down another slave holder rebellion in the north of Mexico. Everyone was rebelling against Santa Anna at that exact time because he just made slavery illegal in Mexico. I despise Santa Anna for many many reasons. But he did free all slaves.
>>2854307Goddamn you're a whiny faggot. No wonder you're on this board, you need to touch some grass. I dunno if you're black or brown but you need to stop making that you're entire identity or you're gonna go insane.
>>2854319Lol imagine a red man calling you whiny. These niggers never invented the wheel and got beaten at every turn and still claim supremacy. Where was a whining tonto?
>>2854305>watching youtube to learn history

>>2851994>SAAR U EATING BY BEAR DO NOT REDEEM THE CAMPINGOh man I guess I got eaten by a bear every night when I used vanilla scent in my tent for 5 years, or when I used apple cinnamon for 10 years before that, or plain cinnamon for 5 years before that. Guess you got me, "saar" I'll never camp again without living in terror of bears in my negligible bear population area with only one sighting of a black bear 3 hours away that was shot and eaten by a farmer. I am so scared I will now burn all my camping gear and only use chinese plastic from now on.
>>2854321>eat beareww
>>2851589It's probably a sign of severe retardation to throw 'metals' and 'plastics' into one mental box each and then make comparative claims about their general suitability.
>crowded af>rocks falling on people's heads>higher death rate than DenaliI'd like to climb a really big mountain but Mont Blanc is certainly not my dream, despite its beuty. Grossglockner is much less suicidal if you have some climbing experience.

>>2852012I have no motivation to climb a mountain but if I did I would want to climb a dangerous one without many people there. Everest might as well be sponsored by Omega at this point.

I've lived in a city all my life. For a year I did live in a smaller town in a valley and got bored pretty quickly, because my idea of fun is walking around town and seeing stuff there. I don't know what I'm supposed to do in the countryside for fun. I can fish and the only hiking I've done is just on woodland trails in the city. I wouldn't know what land /out/ there is public or private, what I'm supposed to do once I'm there, what else I'm supposed to do on a hike other than walk, I'm not interested in hunting. I've never been camping before but I'm open to it. How do I appreciate the outdoors more?
>>2852661just enjoy new things you haven't see before
>>2853404Yea, I prefer being alone. I do like to sit by the river often and just look at it. But I didn't know if there's more to the outdoors that I was missing out on. I'm just trying to get an idea of what people do.
>>2852661honestly a big appeal of the outdoors is because it's a refuge for those who are sick and tired of the city life, regardless of its glitz and glam. so yeah if you still find city life appealing i don't think outdoor stuffs is for you yetdon't force yourself, OP
>>2852661>what else I'm supposed to do on a hike other than walkrelax and enjoy the viewchat with people you meetrelax and enjoy the soundssnacksrelax and enjoy the smellphotographypretty animals
>>2852661>I wouldn't know what land /out/ there is public or privateI'm not sure where you live, but your government should have a digital atlas you can check if you're specifically looking for certain kinds of private/public land. Where I am this is useful beyond just going to managed parks, if you're looking for somewhere there's less likely to be people (at least if it's not hunting season).>How do I appreciate the outdoors more?You said yourself that you've never been camping, that can be a good way to get into it. Start with something like car camping that's easy. Personally, I also like to have something "to do" when I'm going in the bush, rather than just hanging around a campsite. Some things you can try are: - Birding, you didn't mention this, but a classic outdoors special interest. - Mushroom identification (go with your local mycology group). Or other foraging. - Fishing. Try different styles/species: salmon fishing is very different from walleye fishing. Some people love ice fishing but aren't as into regular fishing. - Hiking can be good because you have a goal and you can do different routes and keep changing things up (distance, elevation change, speed, location).
Do you swim in winter? the ocean doesnt freeze here but gets down to around 7 degrees in january/february at its lowest. today it was 9 and pretty comfy. i go multiple times a week and it has really helped me build up my cold tolerance for all /out/ activities. not to mention strengthening my immune system and easing arthritic and tendonitic pains.
>>2853292>MUH HECKIN SCIENCE
>>2853292technically improving your immune system from a poor state to a normal state is also "boosting" it
>>2849494Yes, but I've been a bitch and haven't gone yet this winter. Coldest I've done is through a hole in the ice so probably around 2CBut that's psychologically easier than going in the ocean which is around 7C right now and gets down to around 2C at the coldest.It's such an amazing feeling.I don't really swim just float around and dunk a few times.Goals>better feet tolerance (not sure that's even possible, but they always go numb and it's horrible walking through the snow getting in/out)>better head tolerance (feels like a spike going into your head)I'm also really jealous of nordics that have saunas all over the place next to the water, then I would go in and out repeatedly.>>2850729>>2850730>>2850739Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>2854081>Yes, but I've been a bitch and haven't gone yet this winter. Fuck yeah so I went in today. The water was about 7C. I was only in for a few minutes, just enough to stabilize my breathing and dunk.Any anons on the fence about trying it, watch this guys videos. This gave me the confidence to just go and try it. He says to start in the late summer, but since you missed that opportunity, as did I this year, you can just do it, it's just more of a shock and you might have to get in slower because of hyperventilating.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpIWRypczJ4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YLTFo7Ql-YThe biggest thing is managing the logistics of getting in and out especially if it's cold and windy. You can't get frostbite underwater but as soon as you get out it can be really bad and dangerous quick, so be ready to get dressed and get back to shelter quick if it's really cold out.>>2853292More efficacy than the covid vaxx lol

I'm gathering ideas for biomes and natural environments. I'd like to know if anyone knows of any natural environment or biome that they find pretty. It could be a description, a picture of nature that you like, anything helps.
>>2851440Idk why but I find in dense fir and pine woods the ground is so fucking nice becauae you get that thick lush moss. That doesn't seem to work too well on birch forests, as they mulch everything but birch to death. In fall and winter thats fine but otherwise rotten leaves isn't my favourite ground. Don't get me started on fruit bearing trees in summer or autumn, stuff just falls, starts to ferment and reek and also attract all sorts of bugs.
>>2854226when I'm picky I pick sites like this.

Sup /out/, went camping (at a wilderness campsite) recently to try out some winter gear. Sleeping bag, sleeping pad, and the rewaterproofing on my tent held up really well. One issue I had, was that while there were plenty of big logs available, there was no tinder or kindling and I had to use my swiss army knife to baton massive pieces of firewood to start a fire. This was fucking atrocious work and I realise I need a good fixed blade knife. Now I've got it in my head to get a big knife or a hatchet, picrel is available in a very decent 6 inch blade and this beauty of a 10 inch blade. As much as I know 6 inch is probably fine, my gorilla brain is telling me to get this big fucking thing, then I don't even need a hatchet and can carry the SKA for small tasks/multitool. Convince me otherwise before I drop serious money on this thing.
>>2853387All of them. With a knife, you can fight anything.
>>2853603i'd like to fight a bull with a knife how bout you
Buck 119
It sounds cumbersome but I use to travel with a big mace and it was exceptional at shattering logs into fire wood. One or two swings was usually enough to make a full stack.
>>2850852do you have a knife that works? then don't buy a new one. use the one you have until it breaks. quit buying shit, what are you a woman
Been a while since we've had an EDC thread.What are some things you always carry with you? Got any new gear recently? Knife? Flashlight? Tactical spork?I've been wanting to put together a little edc first aid kit, not like my actual hiking first aid kit, just smaller things I might need on the day to day. But I havnt really settled on a pouch yet, or, if I should get a small plastic tupperware container because it's waterproof and I hear things like bandaids can get roughed up pretty easily in a pouch
>>2834942nobody in this thread mentioned the fact that this is a airsoft suppressor on an airsoft replica, SSP18 if i had to guess. both by novritsch
>>2835377Missing a phillips screwdriver.This is the one I carry and I find it very useful.

>>2854219>]Even the ultra-mainstream shit was better than now. Not bad.
how do you train for mountaneering hiking and backpacking and out in generali know the optimal way is to load weight on a backpack and walk uphill and down, increasing distance, elevation and weight progressivelybut i live in flat area and it's depressing to drive for 1 hour just to be on the same boring trail. anything closer is shit, i need to go up and down the same hill 10 times to get close to the total elevation i want, it's boring and depressing and people who i encounter think i'm stupidany other suggestions?
>>2853965thats not the main thing, sounds like OP is asking about training for 8+ hour activities, its about endurance. you cant train that kind of endurance running because thats like 1h sessions at most
>>2854091That is exactly what running trains. 1 hr sessions? Why would you be limited to that? Heard of marathons?
>>28540911 hour easy running sessions + 1 long run per week, is literally how you train long distance endurance
>>2853460i just do the master roshi thing and always carry my 12kg "stealth" backpack when i leave the house or go for an hour "powerwalking". like 2 or 3 times a week. good cardio too i look sexy af now.

Why haven't you gone winter camping yet this season /out/?What, are you scared of a little cold?
>>2853974See>>2853988I'm not a homeless American, living the "van-life" (homelessness).
>>2848380I've been meaning to since it's been a few years and I just bought a new 0F sleeping bag. How do you cope with boredom, especially since the darkness sets in so soon, and being scared of the dark?>don't drink
>>2848380>be bong>dartmoor? exmoor?>what's the point?
It's been raining for 2 weeks straight here.Yesterday with the heavy cloud and fog was the darkest day I can ever remember. Even at high noon it looked like almost nught
>>2854036I'm rather about (you) being able to span a mental bridge between motoring and camping.I mean semantically it's not wrong, if you stay in a camp are camping, regardless of how you got there.But it just wont cure the gay.
Asking for a friend
