>>2866093Bird seed
>>2866184You realise that there's a high chance of an anvil falling on your head if you help yourself to the free birdseed that's just there for the taking, don't you?
>>2861380I go looking for mushrooms on a huge section of public land every year. You would not believe how many of these fucking things, and tree stands, I find that have been lost/ abandoned. I don't have any real issue with putting this shit in the woods,but for fucks sake, don't leave it there forever.
Hunting has gotten less and less /out/ and more luxurious larping
>>2861380>Let's talk about trailcamsI've been doing deer management and running many trail cams, and also a webmaster for a deer management website, for over a decade. I love trail cams. They are a great resource for managing the local deer herd. You can hunt specific bucks, or let specific bucks grow, instead of ambushing whatever comes by. In my camp, we lay out pictures and videos of specific Bucks that we either let grow or that we target. On public land, you're still in public, so complaining about trail cams, makes little sense. If you want privacy, be on private land.
thoughts?
>>2868806I have house sparrows at my apartment complex that keep trying to nest in the radiator of my bedroom AC unit. I used to think birds were nice, even idyllic; but hearing them a few feet away at 5a, 6a, and 7a every morning for months on end while your neighbor puts out bird feed is a brutal experience. Really most of my experiences with birds are related to being annoyed; taking food, making noise, being aggressive, shitting on stuff..We once went backpacking where the trailhead was at the base of a ski slope. At 4am, the whole crew was woken up by a woodpecker who thought the outdoor PA system megaphone was a good place to do a little pecking. Of course, by a little pecking I mean the bird went for ~30mins until we were throwing sticks near it. 20min later, that sly dumbass was right back at it

Did you put in for a permit this year?
>>2868193I could name a place that is extensively glaciated, but I don't want faggy tourists going there or discussing it.
>>2868210Doesn't exist in the US outside of the Cascades or Alaska. Places in the American rockies have small dying glaciers, like the Winds or the mountains in GNP. But nothing compared to the Cascades.
>>2868172explain?A guy comes up to your tent at night and asks for permit, then you just dribble your lips?What about the little trail-janny cuck shacks right on the trail, where they are going to check your gear. I always assumed that's what would happen.But you're acting like nobody is there, and there's nobody to check your permit off? Is this the case? I am scummy enough to cheat the system if I will not get consequences.
>>2868193rainier, and mt baker both have large glaciers. I think rainier is one of the most glaciated mountains actually or something.
>>2868789Both of those are in the Cascades.

Realistically. How do we get poor people into practicing ski?
>>2867470Kek I remember my first run, beelined down the green then promptly ate shit.
>>2866467Make sure that resorts can only be locally owned within a certain radius, kill international monopolies like Vale resorts that try to buy out literally everything.>>2867470Everything is potentially dangerous, but people still do it, often with insufficient safety equipment as well.Skiing drunk with no helmets used to be the de facto standard, now it's just skiing mildly drunk with a helmet and getting properly pissed in the valley.
>>2863311Real tard brained shitMade me laugh tbdesu. Just go outside.
>how do we make poor people able to practice for a sport that is extremely expensive??? This is like asking how do we let poor people test drive lambos for free just to then turn around and tell them they can't buy one
Rank US States (or regions in your country) based on natural beautyhttps://tiermaker.com/create/us-states-36606
>>2868277>zero mountains>zero unique animals>zero unique plants>zero landmarks>zero old growth forestWow sounds fucking awesomeMidwesterners should be banned from /out/ and I am not even kidding you people are so fucking stupid lol
>>2868319>>2868359wisconsin has gnomes which makes it S+ tier for /out/. Wouldn't expect a westlet to understand.
>>2858679didn't put the overseas territories because I've never been and don't know them well enough to rank them. They probably all go to S or A+ though.>>2868339>France should be A+if you go by diversity it's hard to put mainland France above A, including overseas territories I'd move it up yeah. Italy B+ is criminal though
>>2868339>>2868340>>2868381just different standards? every country on that list is beautiful, even most of the ones I didn't even rank still have beautiful areas. If this were my states >>2858694 tier list and Italy were a state it would be S tier, Taiwan A
>>2868179Agreed, with one exception right here. Anyways, educate yourself fool:>>2868147Iowa has underrated green rolling hillsOklahoma has some of the most remote yet green reservations and vast yet diverse areas in the eastSouth Dakota is more naturally diverse than you apparently know, and it is out of the wayAll underrated pearls where one most likely won't run into paste eaters like yourselves.

Found this on Facebook Marketplace for $60Would this be good for my first set?I am a complete amateur
>>2865156Yes, this board is dogshit for most of these reasons.
>European StarlingsWhat do you guys do to get rid of them? I just put on imagerelated & shoot them, they don't really notice it when shaded (or care if theres dead starlings all over the ground either).The suit is a bit annoying though, so are there any other good camos that they can't see easily? Do standard turkey/duck hunting sets work just as good? I know certain birds see different colors and other weird stuff, so I won't wanna get something that stands out like a beacon to them.
>>2868101Xhe's right guise, OP should be killing pajeets instead.
>>2868104All bird species alive today could be considered invasive couple thousand years ago. All species of organisms go extinct except a very very tiny fraction you get to see today that managed to adapt better than the rest, which then evolve further into more species and they go through the same process. Environment changes and a species does better than the rest, which is considered invasive behavior by you retards. You are doing neither good nor bad, since your dumbass is a part of the planet's ecosystem. It is by the hand of humanity in the first place that the environment has changed and starlings are doing better. It is however more annoying than it is funny that you retards think you could play the hero for some quick appreciation from society. And in 4chan of all places. Fucking clowns.I could tell you niggers to kill yourselves, which would neither be good nor bad as well, since I am a part of this ecosystem and I get to exist and type these encouraging words. I like starlings, they are extremely intelligent birds with incredibly flexible vocal cords and the ability of mimicry of almost every sound i could imagine, so do them a favor and kill yourselves.

Where are all the mushrooms edition?
what an odd spring this is
>>2864959Ended up walking it with one other person and her dog. Had a great time, about 18km in total. It was sunny but not too warm, windy but not frustrating. I've really got to look at doing some more walks in the Chilterns.
I'm planning on crossing the canal to the UK and spending some time there in summer. Since I'm a brokey + I like travelling cheaply I'll be hitchhiking and whatever to get around the country and hike. What are some spots I've definetly got to see and visit? It'll be my first time there.
Erm. Right lads I'm taking out four guys to the more northern end of the Peaks tomorrow where the fuck do I go.Did Mam Tor with some of them before. Not meant to rain until the afternoon so might just say fuck it and do Kinder Scout
>>2868597Went up Derwent Edge it was a good day
any other suggestion for hoboing around in good weather with minimal setting up hassle and weight? other than pic relatedmust have mosquito net and be light (pic related is about 450 g/1000 lbs)
>>2867835You don’t know what a bivy bag is. They do not have hoops no matter what marketing gimmick you see. They are not water resistant. You buy the sack so you can use your existing bag (which is used in many conditions where a bivouac sack isn’t appropriate). If the bivy is damaged or can be replaced more easily and cheaply. Dry-cleaning chemicals can destroy waterproof layers. Why am I expanding this? You’re allergic to google, I guess.
>>2867254>>2867261Imagine being stuck in rain in one of those coffins.For just 300g more you can have a tent.
>>2867783Bivvies are for when the camp site selection sucks, usually because you're above treeline and on rocks. In those situations you bring earplugs regardless of your shelter choice.
>>2868369They have to imagine it, because it’s not something they’ll ever experience. A severe lack of utility is another reason to not buy the larpsack.
>>2867259stealthcamping is a thing thoughbeit
How do I deal with these giant fucking rapists? I’m snorkeling and swimming off of the west side of the ‘Big Island’ in Hawaii soon. I am worried I will encounter one of these fuckers and it will try to bite me. Im bringing a tourniquet just in case. Please share advice if you are familiar with this area or species. Thank you.
>>2868397Learning what they look like will help. That's a sand tiger shark which is not much to worry about.
>>2868397We get these here in the summer. I've seen one once while spearfishing. Just like every other shark, you don't want to look like prey. I approach sharks trying to look tall in the water with spear pointed at them and nudge them if they get too close but typically they will maybe be a bit curious but generally uninterested in you as a prey item. That said, if a large shark decides to eat you, you are dead. Nothing you can really do about it.
>>2868397you bonk it on its nose and say>bad shark, this is my fish! no, you cant have anyif it doesnt listen, you just flip it upside down
>>2868568I just stick my thumb up it's bumhole. Don't try it on stingrays, though, it really pisses them orf.
>>2868397most of the places you can snorkel are too crowded to have tiger sharks. If it helps any I've snorkeled all over the kona coast of big island and I've never seen a tiger shark in shallow water or met anyone that has.avoid the places nobody is swimming though. Places like Kona harbor and off the point at magic sands people get eaten sometimes. Stay in the shallows.if you want to be really sure just stick to Kahalu’u Beach Park where the entire reef is behind a breakwater that sharks pretty much can't get through. But even then stay away from the deep north end where the surfing school is because that's not protected and sharks do go there.anyways you're way more likely to drown in hawaii than get eaten by a sharkthe waves there get big
I'm looking for some hiking near college station what are some good options for me?
>>2868602I'm guessing your homosexual lover is going to college since I would assume a college educated person would understand how to find hiking trails. There are many apps devoted to just that, and maps and websites. And most people that aren't retarded would look at any map of Texas and think "hmm what's this huge green section right here next to college station. It says sam houston national forest I wonder what that could be."
>fuck up on trail>flag down helicopter>helicopter says you don't have an emergency, will come back for $650>say nah, don't wanna pay that much>never seen againhttps://www.sfgate.com/hawaii/article/molokai-jeffrey-zoltowski-21953090.phphttps://youtu.be/969apPFS5PEso I guess the most impressive part is he made it through ALL the stuff down to the beach but never made it back
>>2868285That helicopter pilot needs to be hunted down and hanged from the rotor blades of his own chopper. What a piece of fucking shit.
>>2868536I guess in my mind it would have been a pilot and someone else, 2 people, but given that they were state workers I think, it can't be impossible to track them down. Someone should avenge his memory. If you watch a little of the video in OP, it's a crazy trail so that he made it all the way to the beach is impressive. And his dad sounds haunted by his disappearance.
>>2868537The fact that they were state workers and haven't been in any way charged for his disappearance indicates a coverup.
>>2868538a lot of details don't quite add up it would be an interesting story to solve
>>2868285I don't understand why he offered to take the backpack and not the personSurely it's more annoying to be responsible for a backpack than it is to let someone hop in
So im planning to snare trap the nutria at my local lake. Ive got the trap and a few fitting spots and all.The only thing im unsure about is how to do the actual kiling. I was thinking of just grabbing its neck and cutting its throat, the same way one kills a fish. Will it thrash around so much that this isnt a good idea? I will wait near the trap, so he will not be tired out once i try to go for the kill. I wanna kill the little fella as quickly as possible with as little pain as possible but im unsure where to stab him. Will a pocket knife suffice or should i bring a large chef knife? Guns are not an option. These animals have nasty teeth so im somewhat scared to get hurt.Also considered a hatched or an axe but this wouldnt really be the most painless method and im also concerned about ruining the fur which i wanna use later on. Has anyone here got experience with killing critters like that and can give some pointers on how to approach the killing blow please?
>>2866375Angl*ids? Yeah they need to be culled
>>2862493Like beavers, they can give a nasty bite so best not to mess around close in. Old school trappers usually club them. I've had to trap out woodchucks and I give them a double tap point blank with a bb gun.Thing to watch out for if you're on public land is getting caught trapping without a license.
>>2863252This. Just shoot the fucker if youve never killed anything with your hands. Look up where the brain is and shoot it twice. It will probably spazz for a bit after it is dead. Tell us what it tastes like
This thread really just confirms most of you must be underage or have little to no experience outside. It's even more disgusting that some of you think it's funny to torture the animal to kill it.
>>2863321This or bludgeoning the neck, not the head.
but why does it make me feel so bad sometimes?
>>2868492Yep. Picrel shows 3 of 5 floats I've lost today.
>>2868493Have you tried walking over and picking them up?
Yeah i can but I gotta walk around a long way to get to the other side. Better off just spending the 2.50 to buy another pack of three.
At the end of the day caught 10 but kept 3. Gotta be thankful for the less than desirable days or else the man upstairs won't bless you again.
>>2868491Yeah I don’t even mind that I don’t catch anything. It’s that I look like a dang fool getting tangled and fumbling around. By the way, am I tangling because I don’t have any shot or any kind of weight above the book?
