are rice picker hats unironically the strat for excessively hot and sunny excursions??(I'm white btw)
>>2840304That's actually called a coolie hat, but calling a person a coolie is rayciss and people are likely to get confused and get mad about calling the hat by its correct name. They're great hats. The problem is they're a novelty in the US and therefore expensive. They should cost next to nothing.
>>2840712Makes me think there are people out there who wish Splatoon were real so they could have sex with woomiesMeanwhile I wish Splatoon were real so I could have well-made Inkline coolie hatsWe are not the same
>>2840331Dusty had the coolest outfit.
>>2840712The problem is that they don't pack flat.

The edge of morality A case of transforming nature A common slogan regarding evolution is “evolution doesn’t stop at the neck.” The basic idea is that the same evolutionary forces that work on our bodies—determining our height, method of reproduction, and so on—also work on our brains. Our minds are not unfiltered Cartesian egos, unaffected by evolution, and the assumption that they are is a source of serious error.But there’s a similar dogma when it comes to ethics that is as widespread as it is indefensible. This is roughly the notion that ethics stops at the edge of society—that ethics, in other words, has nothing to say about nature, and there are no values to be promoted in nature; all we should do, with respect to nature, is preserve it. This idea strikes me as clearly wrong!When you tell people that you support modifying nature to reduce suffering—trying to get rid of predators that rip their victims limb from limb and of flies that lay eggs in the bodies of live animals, eating their way out from the inside—they act like you have grown another head. But I think the worthwhileness of modifying nature follows from every plausible ethical view.We normally accept that it’s bad when animals suffer. We think there’s something noble about helping out an injured deer, but nothing comparably noble about helping out an injured plant. When, in the 1980s, surgery was performed on live dogs without any anesthetic, we correctly recognize that such a practice was ghastly and horrific. The reason it was horrific is that it’s bad to be in excruciating agony. The fact that huge numbers of dogs were in excruciating agony was a bad thing. Surely it can’t be that it’s only bad for dogs to suffer if humans are the culprit—this would imply that it’s wrong to treat horrible diseases dogs have, if treating the diseases causes them any suffering.
>>2838952Go talk to A utilitarian. Emphasis on the word talk
>>2837884Your argument relies on consensus on "good" and "bad" being reached for application. In the absence of that, you're going to have an absolute shitshow of widespread extermination and creation campaigns. Best of luck.
>>2839017That's called politics
>>2837800An intellectual, nerd-out essay postingty OP bump
>>2837800wolves and rabbits. if rabbits reproduce to fast then wolves will eat them. if food as a resource is plentiful in nature than wolves will reproduce. but after that they will need to eat more rabbits to sustain the population. often times they cant and they will starve and die. human intervention is stupid, because mettling with natural order of things causes issues like this. you cannot waive a magic wand and expect wild animals to never suffer. its going to happen.

tourist from /trv/, how do i protect myself when in very very hot environments in terms of clothing? what works in your experience, what doesn't? i know some of you like to lurk around in deserts so i figured you lads would know the best.
>dude it's basically impossible to grow crops in the desert
>bro there's only two types of tree and we couldn't use those two trees for construction so we would never cut them down for use in furniture or fence posts or warmth, nah we never cut down any trees the desert was always just barren as fuck man

Found last week in an abandoned mine in Maramureș county, northern Romania. The light used is LED.it can't be bugs because this was kilometers deep inside the mine, only fungi and bacteria here.I tried asking on reddit but that was of no help (as usual)What could the species be? Is it an undocumented species or perhaps undocumented behaviour? I couldn't find anything about it. I asked a few university profs. and they also don't knkw what it could be.https://imgur.com/a/Eyu9dSJ
Was this audible to the naked ear or only on camera? Because it sounds like electromagnetic interference in the camera's mic, probably coming from the flashlight.
>>2840899My fungus makes a buzzing sound when its in your mom
I have no idea but this is very spoopy
>>28408991) Shitload of bugs in there2) Wiring in flastlight is goofy 3) Magnified photoacoustic effect due to cave sayout and humidity

How important do you think a survival knife is?Do you think it is a rather not needed item thats need can be superseded by a usual every day knife?It is easier to just snap logs for a fire than to hack them with a survival knife.This is of course not including raw survival where you are needing bushcraft and hunting skills to actually survive. Just general non normie tier camp holiday woodland camping.
>>2839821>don't get this larper crap get that larper crap okay?
Post good knives.
anyone ever had to chop with their knife not like vegetable chopping but like chopping a soft branch that can't be sliced through i tried it during harvesting all the hits just go directly to your palm i'm guessing no way to do such a task unless you have a blade heavy longer thing for that guess theres batoning but how do you baton in limited space
>>28387001095 is absolute dogshit steel though, you bought into the Esee meme.80CrV2 is better in every single way, at the same price, 14C28N is equal to 80CrV2 in terms of toughness and edge retention, but stainless.Knife nerds so easily fall for marketing bullshit, it's fucking insane.>>2838816For a survival knife, toughness trump edge retention 10/10 times.A dull knife can be sharpened easily, a chipped or broken blade is a problem.Both steels quoted above have acceptable edge retention while still having top tier toughness, but ultimate steel for a survival knife is something like 3V or A8Mod.
>>2840606I have 3 Grohmanns: A #2, #4, and a pocket knife. The #2 (trout & bird with a flat grind) is my go-to for fish and small game. The #4 (survival with a sabre grind) I kind of regret getting. I bought it as a bushcraft knife, but it's not really made for that purpose so I never use it. Sabre grind is a catch-all that's okay at everything but doesn't really excel at anything.
How would you camp in the north eastern Victorian wilderness in and around Mount Buffalo?
>>2837896>>2838154i know what youre referencing, but i bet he fucked off to northern nsw and has plans to live off grid under the table in wa in a year or so
>>2838074Just don't go poaching any sheep.
I would build a permanent structure out of earth bags. You can carry them all with you and build when you find a comfy spot.
>>2837896they don't have crocs or kangaroos down there. they just have sadcunts and sooks †bhnot interesting.
>>2839119We have plenty of kangaroos and more rabid ice junkies than sadcunts. I live in the Mitta valley just over the ridge from where the police are searching. There's a lot of cabins off long dirt roads where anyone can camp if they get stuck, but I reckon >>2838868 is probably right. That whole Mt Beauty area is so full of "sovereign citizen" dickheads and weird old Bretheren families that probably have him living in their shed or have smuggled him interstate by now
Is Elbrus the highest and most magnificent mountain a European can climb without spending as much money as on a decent condition car?

>>2840878My plan was flying to LA -> grand canyonBased retard yuro that can't understand geography.
>>2840878take a bus or train and camp bro renting a car would be nicer yeah but you don't absolutely have tothere's lots of transport running out to big attractions like that
>>2840879he didn't say he would arrive there within one day.
>>2840879I would assume that flying closer would be an additional cost, otherwise of course Vegas or Phoenix would be a better bet. The flights are probably most of anon's budget to begin with.
>>2840879I meant I was planning to land at LA, spend maybe 2 days there (visit+jetlag sleep) and then go to the canyon. It's a trip to the US not just to the canyon. I could land to LV but that's more expensive from my city idk why>>2840884My mom isn't that young anon but yeah if one day one doing it alone I'll just take the bus.
There is nothing more retarded and gay than "stealth camping".>im camping behind a road sign or in a trash canNobody cares stupid faggot
Hobo camping is the best method of traveling. Fuck hotels… im poor
Homeless people will watch "stealth camping videos and think to themselves, "holy shit. Imagine all the cheap liquor I could have gotten from ad revenue after all these years of getting fucked up and passing out in the bushes"
I stealth camp in my local regional park here in California all the time - it's a hilly/wooded grassland area with pockets of dense forest off trail. I hammock and backpack tent camp just a few hills/ridges away from any trail and the suburbanites literally never venture anywhere close. I always clean up, never do stupid shit like have fires (it gets very dry), and enjoy the trails in the moonlight.
>>2838937Its just camping where you're not supposed to.> Im driving 6 hours away to start a hike the next morning and I don't want to pay $200 for a shitty hotel Stealth camp> I want to backpack a segment of trail but all the backcountry sites are reserved 5 months in advanceStealth Camp> Hey there's this really awesome overlook where it would be awesome to hike and spend the night but camping is only allowed in the glorified parking lot "RV sites"Stealth CampComment too long.

I want to talk about carrying shelter and water on a bicycle and starting with a plan, not a dream.Stopped being neet after rewatching KLK and realizing I wasted my youth/20s. That’s fine, life isn’t over. Bought a road/gravel bike, got some biking sites and chatgpt for route suggestions, it’s time. Gonna see everything lower 48 state on my own power. I could never do this as a poor min wage wagie saving up for a cagie, but I can just do it now. So I did actually, I’m two or so counties over from where I started.Now wot? Have any other anons lived the drifter life? How do I find good stealthcamp spots so cops don’t burn my tent and retard tweakers dont do me like kevin nash in the summer of 92?

I have this bike which is perfect for bikepacking but 5 minutes into the ride my arse hurts. When I was overweight I could cycle 90 miles in baggy shorts now I top out at 30. How do people do it? are my serotonin levels too fried
>>2840702> Padded shorts> Adjust your riding style to be in jockey position when hitting bumps> Try adjusting your seat angle forward a few degrees. Play around with it.> Or try a suspension seat... but only after you tried your best to fix the one you have.> It could also be the headset. A badly fitting headset will cause you to lean too far forward or too far back> If you're a richfag, some people will suggest getting a bike fitting, but honestly I think you can figure this shit out yourself, it's not rocket science.
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?
>>2839350I just ordered picrel for $189. Reviews I've read say it does the basics, although you don't get real-time depth measurement, only once you surface. They're manufactured in the same city in China where they filmed my favorite Cdrama, (我可能遇到了救星) so it must be a good product. I've been chatting with their service team via whatsapp and google translate, they are very sweet.If it shows up before my next dive trip on the 12th I'll report ITT how it performed.
>>2839358>don't get real-time depth measurementThat's probably a deal-breaker for me, but I haven't heard of the brand and would still be curious to hear your report if it arrives in time. Enjoy your dive trip either way, anon.
