I'm applying to conservation corps. I know the pay is going to shit but I'm retarded and I think it's cool to camp and work on trails all day.Anyone have experiences with /out/ jobs?
>>2864340>>2864633hay dont hate the people for the job, 90% of these projects dont go anywhere.

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.

I love the Washington's coniferous forests.
Who here would be in favor of a new class of year round Hunting license, just for primitive spear and club hunting.Optionally For reasons of funny it comes with a requirement of only being allowed loinclothes, chestwraps and sandals for clothing during the hunt, and no motor vehicles within two miles of the hunting ground
>>2864967I’m down.
>>2865110
>>2865112I’ve seen spears at tractor supply for hogs… can can you not spear a pig anymore either? I hate this timeline. Ancient man had it made for 400,000 winters.
>>2864967Would they prosecute you for hunting with a spear or club? After all you didn't use a gun or a bow.
>>2865114Stuck pig’ll run up a spear. Scary as fuck.

>>2865215Be sure to always use a leader. Casting without one can damage the head.
>>2865248Yeah I'll get some as well. It came with one tied on and you're I guess meant to tie directly onto it but it's tapered so it'll need to get replaced relatively fast I assume.
>>2865266You just need to replace the tippet section unless the butt and mid Section are damaged. You can also tie andouble surgeons loop or perfection loop in the butt section of the leader a couple inches down from the fly line to use that as a loop to loop connection.
i'm taking apart a mitchell 304 and surprisingly the drag pieces are bellow the clicker gear bellow the spool instead of on top of the spool
>>2865176I haven't heard much good about that combo. But it's supposed to be very stiff/fast. So it may feel a bit more "normal?" compared to a spinning rod. I bought my brother in law a SF 5wt combo for 70ish a couple years ago. It's honestly as good as my echo lift. That said, I do love my echo fly rods. I have a 4wt lift and a 6wt traverse.
how do i stop gnomes stealing my boots while /out/?
>>2863886First time in America going /out/, any tips or advice for a European? >>>/wsg/6120882
>>2865081We have weather in America, know what heat/cold/wind/rain range you could be dealing with and be prepared for it.carry water.Know where you are, stay on trails, maintain awareness of landmarks.The American wilderness is not a petting zoo, take pictures from a distance, do not approach the wildlife, do not touch the wildlife, do not try to take selfies with the wildlife.

Why is it so expensive? It seems overpriced for a trekking pole tent.
>>2864551no one, and i mean no one, needs a $500 tent
>>2864996I have a $800 tent.
>>2864988wtf did you mean?>>2864996i didnt need it but i paid 1300€ for a tent and it has served me quite well, my nephew and his gf has used it, a friend used it, know i will never have to buy a tent ever again. its been along for 6years now. thats 6 years of not buying a shitty 100€ tent and not getting frustrated that it breaks when i need it the most.
>>2865021you are a euro so just go in your little hut and leave us alone dude
>>2865021euros don't do any real camping
>>2864116I know you've done mulnomah falls but there's a nice loop you can do by starting at wahkeena and coming down the multnomah trail. lots of the trails farther up the gorge are still closed after the 2017 wildfires (RIP oneonta) but I highly recommend the eagle creek trail as well for a nice out-and-back (or for backpacking if you've for the gear).outside of the gorge there's lots of options around mount hood and of course the coast (saddle mountain) and on the washington side (dog mountain) and farther north (goat rocks)
>>2864805nice man. I wouldn't recommend mt. defiance btw, in case you were considering that. it's a nice trail (although difficult) but there's a road going straight to the top + a radio station so the summit sucks.>>2864266harmless garter snake, if you didn't already know>>2864826including map for this
Anyone done the new Mitchell Point hike after they opened up the parking lot there?Haven't been since they closed the trailhead in like 2021 or whenever

If you're going car-camping you are obligated to use your house-on-wheels as part of your camping setup.I'm thinking of getting some of that mosquito netting with the weighted bottom to make the trunk into a pop-up camper. There's more than enough room to sleep.Rain will require a full tarp from the roof back, but that's easier.
>>2864840Make sure to disconnect your battery so the courtesy light in the trunk doesn't drain it overnight
>>2864842Word.I think I'm going to install one of these for the battery.
>>2864840i lived in my 96 honda civic for 3 months in belfield nd. it was good times. i poached internet and electricity from the hotel. i would run an extension cord to the outlet for truck heaters to be plugged into and run a little space heater and my cpu with that to save gas. it was good times
I threw a mattress pad in the back of my shitty hatchback and honestly it was very cozy and I liked it much more than a tent.
>>2864875i have the left one in my project car right now. it works well.
Look at this gay virgin tree. I'm LOLing so hard right now thinking about fags who look out their window and see this gay shit out there.LOL

You're right but you shouldn't say it.
anyone who likes to go to abandoned places and sleep there for one night? sounds comfy
>>2863619Yeah
>>2863619How hard is it to find relatively untouched abandoned places?Every abandoned place I've ever been too has just been wall-to-wall grafitti, trash thrown everywhere, and needles.Makes it not a not very enjoyable experience.
>>2864079Do u prefer baguette or tourists delight?
>>2865012come to eastern europe, Ignore OP

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?
>>2801721diluted shampoo
>>2856872Yes. Shark el shiek is better. Dab is full of tourists. Also there is a new government fee to enter the blue hole.>>2857141Best way to add bottom time is hangs. I learned a great technique for this from Tory George, when he lived at my place during COVID. If your PB is 70ft (21m) then you go to 75% of that (ie 50ft or 14m) and hang for 30seconds before ascended. If thats easy, then add 10 seconds. Do this till you reach a hang of 1:30, before ascending. Then you should be ready to go deeper. Remember the unwritten freediving rule: After you reach 100ft, you have to switch to meters.
>>2758772I wonder if anyone has ever taught a marine mammal to breathe out of a regulator...

Hey /out/, peak season for foraging is upon usPost your harvests and discuss foraging and eating wild plants itt You do that, right?Pic related, some wild asparagus I just picked and flowering wild garlic in my backyard, that reminds me I gotta go to the forest very soon and get more in my super secret wild garlic spot
>>2863685Pathetic junkie fucking losersuch a fucking reject you can't even cop real drugs man you are such a fucking loser
>>2863685Papaver rhoeas ? probably not much. You want the pods/latex though, but it's so small nobody cares to do it. Californian poppy is used as very mild sedative. Apart from classical heroin producers ( golden triangle, indian subcontinent, now Mexico too ?)There are areas where some pharmaceutical poppy fields exists (Czechia, west of France, probably others places) ; local users steal some pods and do extractions. You can overdose on strong poppy tea.
I'm reading a book about it right now, i would like to get into this stuff, i think it's so cool. Nothing has started growing in the forest yet but when they do i will have a look.

There is no solution to this predicament that does not involve a precipitous drop in the global human population and the subsequent halting of the global techno-industrial enterprise. Deportation is a red herring.
>>2863098The solution would be to not use land for ag. Leave the land open and undeveloped as national wildlife preserves.
>>2858829You know what's "ideal".You and everyone else dying.
Is it wrong to buy a knife just because you think it looks nice? >pic relatedI know it's not super steel, or the best value for money.I just like how it looks.
>>2864026and if you should discard it for a name reason it should be>morasome mora worker has posted in int or b, idk? he admitted they rarely used their own knifes when out, better knifes existed. its just mass produced machined blades with no heat threathment or edge with a plastic handle. only sold due to made in sweden but ironicly had poor sales in sweden.
>>2864095Nonsense. They have heat treatment and they have an edge (and you could put on the latter if they didn't). No shit they're not as good as one that costs ten times as much, but they're good enough for many things.
>>2864096they are throw away tradies knifes and they make some money on their made in sweden name. thats all there is to them, nothing more. why does no one in the nordics use mora knifes for anything but what a disk grinder sharpening cant fix and when the blade is halfway gone (2 weeks) we get a new one? or any other knockoff branded or not, they are all the same quality and wont hold an edge. so why pay mora-tax when you can get the same quality for 1/10 the price?
>>2864097can you please post a knife that is the same quality for $1.66?
>>2864127any no brand hardware store knife is.
