Okay, so i have like an exam in a very fae away city and i'm extremely fucking poor so i jusr have money to travel but staying in a hotel is out of the wayGive me some great advice to look homeless or atleast places to sleep in
>>2850447train stations are heavily policed to keep out bums and vagrants trying to sleep there, the ones that arent heavily policed are already filled with homeless people
>>2850993It's just a level of resignation you don't want to cross. Once you become comfortable, and accept, being a bunch bum it means you're already most of the way down a slippery slope.
>>2850382lol I went camping in a cave then the next morning I went and passed the theory test to drive a heavy goods vehicle
>>2850331$19.95/day you can rent this motherfucker. I get some cheap tape & paper for the windows from walmart. Can get an inflatable mattress & sleeping bag too for cheap. Hostels aren't an option in Canada and your cheapest airbnb will be $150+ in a major city.
>>2850331can't you time your trip so that you sleep in the coach on the way to said city and then take the coach back that same day? or is this a multi day exam?
You now remember geocaching

Any hobby naturalists here? What do you study or work on?
>>2852277Uh that's cool, where are you? And where do you get the knowledge from?

i've been meaning to get into marine ecology and hunting/fishing
I’m a professional environmental geologist. During college I took paleontology and stratigraphy. It would be cool to get back into that kind of stuff as a hobby.
Im an adult who myself has never been able to afford much in terms of camping gear, but my mom has quite a lot of money and I think she wants to buy me something nice. Does anyone have recommendations for gear, (cold weather gear in particular)? Pad, sleep system, tent, bag, etc; I dont know if Ill get a chance like this again and am trying to make it count.Pic related I want to do cold weather stuff soon.
It is established that isolation while /out/ leads to particular hallucinations like hearing your own name and the best thing to do is to ignore it. Do not acknowledge. I wonder if this is related to all the native cultures that say exactly the same thing about hearing your own name. Have any of you experienced this or had hallucinations?
>>2852629I've never heard of that. Only in context of ghost videos, lol.
>>2852627i hear high pitched childrens voices often when walking through the forest

What's some of your favorite /out/ approved kinos?
>>2852337Different era, different values.
Uhura takes Gordi out into the woods to be chased around by Confederate ghosts.
>>2850465There's a Norwegian movie that's a little tricky to find although I did watch it on some Russian website that's called "Out of Nature" in English. It follows along with a guy that takes a weekend trip innawoods in Norway struggling with some internal issues about his current lot in life, relationship, and being a father. Any Norge bros know where I can watch a HQ version of this?
How do I become one of them rangers like Aragorn?Reading The Lord of the Rings some of my favorite parts are the ones with Strider's show of skill.I love how he is completely aware of his surroundings and is able to instantly read footprints and use herbs and quickly make himself and his companions unseen and escape danger. At times he seemed more in tune with nature than even Legolas.I have seen quite a few threads on here of people being scared of the dark and I feel like if one had good old Strider's skill and knowledge he wouldn't be afraid no more.Aragorn wouldn't be startled in the middle of the forest by some bear, he would know about that mountain lion following him for the last 2 miles. He wouldn t get poisoned by some mushroom or die of hunger because he knows what is good and what is bad to eat. Strider wouldn't get lost in the forest since he has been drawing a 3d map in his head this entire time.How do I become more like Aragorn, obviously he has had 80 years of experience but what books would you recommend and things to do in the forest to become a little more like him
>>2846661do you think Arwen is a virgin?seems sus being 2000 years old
I want a lever bow so badly bros so so badly
>>2847899Lol'd irl, thanks.
wouldn't you just >learn how to use a bow an arrow>learn basic hunting, trapping, tracking skills>know how to build shelter basically just grow your hair out for a year and get it layered, grow some facial scruff, know how to use a bow and enough survival skills to not die and learn how to ride a horse. This is basically any outdoorsman who has done it for enough time, imagine if that luke bloke from outdoorboys was handsome and thats aragorn.short: go outside
>>2845772Regarding plant identification, there's a really nice app called Pl@ntNet which has a hude database of pictures to help you ID plants by taking pictures. It's not a surefire method but it can help narrow it down to 2 or 3 options that you will learn to ID yourself using texture, smell, observing the surroundings (not all plants thrive in the same conditions) etcThe best method to learn botany is to track the interesting plants you encounter by>taking pics (drawing them is better but not everyone can be bothered)>writing the coordinates and a description of the site where it was found (surrounding plants, soil texture, distance to closest treaded path, distance to water stream, canopy structure, seasonality...)>reading about the plant and its properties>recognizing its habitat elsewhere and looking for itI would assume half the board is familiar with picrel's channel, it's a good way to start stridermaxxing
i'm lost guys

Is off-grid living a wealthy person's hobby? I can't live in an off-grid cabin full time because the code doesn't allow that, and I also would need a primary residential address. The only way to make it work off-grid is if you already have a real home.
>>2852353Dude. Theyre always recruiting....
>>2852377yeah, but you have to mentally ill in at least 3 ways including a minimum of 1 sexual deviancy.
>>2852424Where do you think you are?
>>2833305you can do it in some areas. i did it for less than 100k, in stages. i still work seasonally but my expenses are under 1k/month now, with potential to lower it to about 500. i am usually single tho, and my living standards are shit. i don't really care about the homestead meme, i just like living in the woods and not needing a lot of money.>outhouse>laundry in a pot>speed showers in plastic tub>have to be careful about generator fuel and electricity use>very poor cell service, no starlink>cold whenever i let stove go out>weeks without human contact>getting stranded when trails are ruined>boredom and loneliness>have to get mail sent elsewhereoff grid is a meme tho. you will always be dependent on the industrial world in modernity. almost all the stuff homestead types buy and rely on came from a factory. it's like saying i'm not reliant on farmers because i already bought a freight car full of rice from them or that i'm not reliant on the automotive industry because i already have a car. kind of a silly thing to obsess over.
>>2852560I hope that those are just examples of life during the early stages and you have full plumbing/heat at this point.The $100k is a realistic target. (Thats about where I was at before I bought the adjoining lot).Im on-grid but have a fair amount of acreage. I could have gotten a smaller parcel and spent the savings on solar but I wasnt trying to go that route.

what strange / spooky stuff have you seen?once when i was in the desert, there was a telephone pole, on it looked exactly like a 10ft tall bird of prey, just eyeing me downit was about a good 5min of walking, which felt like forever, just to see that it was a transformer that looked weird, none of the other poles had it eithersounds dumb, but it really did look exactly like a gigantic human sized hawk, and the "head" even seemed to follow you too, really interesting illusion, since it also hit all the primal parts of the brain that gone "you're about to be fucking eaten by a bird!!!!!!"a year or two later, when i was gonna take a picture, it was gone, which adds a strange air to "it was right there, i tell you!">inb4 go to /x/ for this shiti want real stories, not >i smelled the rotten shit fart gas, and my best friend was turned into a skinwalker, and then i pulled out that gun from videogame and blasted it, dude trust me
>>2850608I've always wanted to run into something like this. Either I kill it and cement my role as apex predator, or it kills me and I don't have to live anymore. Either outcome is great.
>>2850723Same. I would have fucked around but from where I was standing, I could see the entire area in both directions. Like, there was nowhere to investigate, just small ferns and wet earth.
>>2820857To be fair, if I was a hideous beast roaming outside of a tent and I saw a pooping butt emerge I'd be taken aback too.
Hahah

Just scored a pair of vintage koflach mountaineering boots (picrel) at an estate sale. Would these still be considered viable gear today? Supposedly the previous owner only used them for one expedition so they are basically new.
>>2851331>Supposedly the previous owner only used them for one expedition so they are basically newone expedition, yes. but they were stored outside for a while
>>2851778Koflatch actually went out of business, so the only full plastic boot still being made today is the Scarpa Inverno.>>2852002Yeah but then you basically carried boots up with you as dead weight for half the climb. I prefer a pair of modern light mountaineering boots which don't suck to hike in and I can wear the whole trip. Carrying an extra pair of shoes just seems silly to me. I get that, traditionally, climbing boots suck to hike the approach in, and I've certainly seen a fair number of "60lb expedition packs with another 7lbs of boot tied on", while the bearer scrambles up in sneakers, but it's just not my style. Seems like an injury waiting to happen, but I also have bitch ankles.
>>2852002you can use strap on crampons with some trail runners
>>2852127>>2852258The thing is, if it gets steep on snow/ice you want mountaineering boots that suck to hike in. The rigidness goes from being painful to being the only thing keeping your lower legs alive when you're front pointing for hours. (Even less technical climbing is painful in non-shanked shoes) With how light other gear is these days I think it's easily worth it.
>>2851331>vintageWhat vintage exactly? Plastic gets old and brittle. Also, do you actually need mountaineering boots? Because they suck for winter hiking.
Whats the most out there thing you have built to facilitate your camping adventures bros?and how does it match up to the autism king?>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHU8VK3qIa4
>>2842649
>>2842716Never had souther chicken and biscuits???
>>2842649Okay, I have to ask. What the hell is this thing?
>>2842649Anything motorized is automatically not-/out/
>>2852682stay in your urban containment zone.
Anyone here ever go /out/ in restricted/illegal areas? Any advice for accessing these spaces?Pictured: North Brother Island, NYC
>>2852498get yourself a drone and check it out, it's fun
>>2852496Wilderness designation.Just so people don't dodge property taxes and close the gate except when they want to trash it themselves. Behavior in true wilderness areas is regulated and sometimes policed by gov't agencies. Making that designation a sign of an honest attempt at protection.
>>2851851Sometimes camp on army tank/artillery ranges when there is no firing going on. Often wild camp in forest, moorland hills and mountains without the landowners permission but trespass is a civil offence in the UK so at worst you will be asked to take your tent down, most of the wild land here is open access so you have a right to be walking over it even if there is no designated right of way.
>>2851852Third world problem
>>2852498Houses can be dangerous as fuck. Exercise caution.
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?
sorry you either love god's creation or you dont>>>/lgbt/
