/out/, wtf did I just read? Any of you hear or see this shit before? I was planning on spending a lot of time in national parks both backpacking and RVing. How do I defend against these park rangers? A gun, a cross, my GF that's slower than me? I can't sleep!
>>2788160
>>2788030They are secretly succubi and/or incubi (doesn't matter, they can change appearance to fit the one most likely to be enjoyed by their prey). If you camp in national parks and don't have incense burning in your tent or hammock they will suck your dick, maybe do more.So stop fantasizing about dumb shit and get out there champ!
>>2788071>whistlingI remember going to Mount Airy (Chattahoochee-Oconee national forest), and I heard that shit at night- I'm pretty sure it wasn't supernatural, but damn... it was spooky. It echoed throughout the site and I could only lay there in my tent and wonder.
>>2788030When I was a 11 year old there was like a campout at a big mountain park. My mom took me and we hiked some amazing trails and canyons. Streams, pretty trees.The entire group cooked out together nice. Singing, dancing, fun. Some brought tents. The rest of us bunked in a old ranger cabin. It was cleaned out but still had some windows and one door out of 3.At night we slept. And there was a girl laying not far from me. The entire floor was filled with maybe 40 people sacked out, snores etc. The girl musta been like 14 bc she squirmed right next to me and grabbed hand and made me feel her tits. Then moved my hand to squishy her vag with was wet.It was amazing. Her cat smelled like roses all over my hand. She grabbed my little donk. But just kissed me.She git tired and moved away maybe to her family.I didn't tell my mom, but I had a smile in the morning. We hiked that day too and a couple school busses picked us all up who didn't have vehicles back to our villages.Good times.
>>2788030And watch out for your basket.
Why are hikers so fucking chill compared to other outdoor hobbyists? They’re so nice and always greet you on the trail

I understand you're not supposed to increase campsite altitude by more than 2000 feet per day. How true is this? Planning a hike and due to how we're starting it there is about 4,300 feet of difference between the first campsite at 2k feet and second at 6,200 feet. After ascending we'll have two days of fairly non-strenuous hiking before taking on more challenging stages. How concerned should I be about altitude sickness at these heights? And is ascending your campsite too fast that big of a deal? Any tips?
>>2786837That's not high altitude in my area, most fit people can deal with anything below about 8,000-10,000 feet no problem if you take more breaks in one go. Sometimes the sickness or dizziness can come on randomly but that just means take it slower and stay hydrated while you take more breaks. Everyone should know their body well enough to take care of themselves and know their limits.
>>2786837>How concerned should I be about altitude sickness at these heights?Not in the slightest. Altitude sickness is extremely rare below 2500m and even once you pass 3000m where the risk approaches ~40%, it's still unlikely to be anything more than a moderate headache, reduced appetite and some difficulty sleeping. >And is ascending your campsite too fast that big of a deal? Yes, but only once you're at the altitudes where it matters>Any tips?Picrel
>>2786837>Planning a hike and due to how we're starting it there is about 4,300 feet of difference between the first campsite at 2k feet and second at 6,200 feet.My 65 year-old mother lives at 6500' and in the summer she summits 14ers as a day hike. You'll be fine.>How concerned should I be about altitude sickness at these heights? And is ascending your campsite too fast that big of a deal?At those altitudes I would be amazed if you got altitude sickness at all.>Any tips?Yeah: the vast majority of people who get acute altitude sickness (dehydration and feeling winded are normal) are fat fucks, have underlying health issues and/or are too arrogant to acclimate. I live in Colorado and every year some fat boomer croaks from an embolism while chasing sheep or elk or whatever because he flew from 1500' to 9500' and then spent the next two days sweating more than he did in the last six months.
>Altitude sicknessFucking hell, this guy is preparing for high altitude activities, will it be Andes? Himalayas? let me convert confusion units to metric. >1800mThis board always makes my day.
>>2786837You'll notice yourself getting winded easier at 6,200. At those altitudes, though, you'll probably be fine.A story:I lived several months at around 5000ft and worked out every day. I was in the best shape of my life, and could run circles around athletes my age at 1500ft.I went on a one-week ski trip to Colorado, and went cross-country skiing at about 10,500ft the first day. I took some hard trails. Basically skied to exhaustion in about 6 hours that first day.After I got back I felt bad and kept feeling bad. I was laid up for the next 4 days in bed with altitude sickness. Despite running 3 miles and crosstraining every day for months at 5000ft, despite a resting heartrate in the 40s and a VO2 max through the roof at lower altitudes, cross-country skiing at 10.5 crushed me. After 4 days of rest, I was able to ski again on the 5th and was fine.If you're coming from like sea level and camping one night at 2k before going to 6.5k, the 6.5k part might be harder than you expect. You probably won't get full blown altitude sickness, but you'll likely be huffing and puffing like a fat man.If you're coming from 2k, camping at 2k, and then going to 6.5k it won't be as bad. Protip: If you hold your breath for like 30-60sec every 15-20 min all day long, or breath into a bag until you can't stand it every hour, you can actually increase your hematocrit before you get to altitude.
Hello anons, Floridian /g/ tourist here.I want to wander around the Appalachian Mountains for a few days, in the snow. I am fucking tired of the heat. I am fucking tired of people. I literally just want to wander around in freezing cold snow, alone, for a week or so, living off the land. Preferably I would like to avoid people as much as possible. I want to learn land navigation. I also want to bring a gun, shoot an animal, and eat it.My questions are:>how feasible is this for someone who has never been on a REAL /out/ trip aside from camping with his dad as a kid and hiking preapproved trails?>what skills do I need to learn, regulations do i need to read, and equipment i need to bring to ensure that I don't suffer death, grievous bodily harm, and/or arrest during this trip?>where should I go? my only stipulation is that there is snow present. I want to do this november or december.

It's been almost a year since the last climbing thread on /out/ died. The thread on /xs/ is overwhelmingly focused on gym climbing, so I'm making this attempt to revive the general. Help out by sharing trip reports, photos, advice, etc.A place to talk about outdoor climbing in any aspect (trad, sport, bouldering, aid, alpine, etc).Rock Climbing is a dangerous sport that can cause loss of life, limb, eyesight, or sanity.Off-belay:https://archived.moe/out/thread/2610900https://archived.moe/out/thread/2537031https://archived.moe/out/thread/2495558/xs/ thread:>>>/xs/196297Adam Ondra sends world's hardest trad route Bon Voyage: https://youtu.be/ji4At78H5Ys
>>2784679>silent partnerthat's it, thanks. someone talked about it in a thread some time ago. i saw an offer for the revo and thought it might be interesting but no
>>2780412It was a great time. I chose to belay them both at the same time on two ropes, which was perfect because my uncle is afraid of heights and my second cousin could coach him through it.Some friends also made the drive and I spent the better part of last week climbing around Smith. What a great area.
Finally cool enough to climb a full day but hellacious winds are here and I can't concentrate in that shit.>>2785408I wish I had a personal coach following me. I wonder if your cousin caught the bug again.
I'm going to be in Barcelona from 12/29 to 1/13, I've heard there's awesome climbing in the region. Would be stoked to have some recommendations or if by some chance one of you lives around there let's go climb.
The weather has been good but work and sickness has been keeping me away from the rock.Felt weak last Sunday so I top roped this short wall and did 3 routes. The one in the middle was fun 5.8 until the 5.5 crack, grit was manageable. Everythng else was too gritty to enjoy or even rate.So far almost everythng I've top roped has been on extended anchors. I've been layed out with a full blown flu since, a setback but I think I can make up for it.
What are some good battery powered portable shower systems for overlanding or basecamps? Is there anything powered by 18650 or 21700 batteries? It seems like everything is built-in battery nowadays which will just go bad with less charging capacity after a couple a months.
>>2788440i just sorta cup my hands and piss, works easy enough
>>2788440Well there's this big hot thing in the sky called the "sun". I haven't seen it but I'm told it can warm things up pretty good.
>>2788440Why not just get a gravity fed system like the one in your OP? Or are you talking about heating the water? Electricity is a very energy inefficient way to heat water, I don't think you're to find a battery powered water heater.

No ‘24-‘25 ski and snowboard thread yet? Post where you you want to go and what you want to do this winter. I’m thinking of heading back out to work at a resort again this season, kind of on a whim. I was a liftie a Breckenridge for a year right before COVID. I want go somewhere new though. Any tips for places with decent employee housing?
>>2783791Copper mountain should still have employee housing, and you can still get to Breckenridge from there easily with the free shuttles.
>>2788103Its metal wood and plastic, theyre probably fine. Just go try them
Andybody ski on Blizzard Rustlers? like or dislike?
>>2783791>I was a liftie a Breckenridge for a year right before COVID. I want go somewhere new thoughWhat have you been doing in the 5 years since?
I splitboarded up my local resort yesterday, was pretty good considering how little snow has fallen in town.
Cant seem to find any discussion on this anywhere so I'll just post it here:What are your thoughts on overalls for going /out/?I fucking hate wearing rucking with shirts that constantly ride up regardless of their fitting and pants/shorts that, when you kneel or bend over expose your lower back. Tucking them into each other also just feels uncomfortable.Something like picrel (2)?Seems perfect for practically all weather right? If it's cold, just wear long-johns underneath and then and only then maybe like some ECWCS cold weather pants and jacket over it.If it's warm then just rock the boiler suit with only regular underwear.No sliding, no exposure of skin, no need for sunscreen and it even looks cool (picrel 1. Maru, from Heavenly Delusion)Why hasn't it been done?
>>2777406OP you are a certified chronically online nigga. just go outside and toughen up you actual walking pussy.
>>2777406Pissing and shitting in overalls sucks massive ass, especially when you're /out/ have to squat down.

what's a good recipe for a granola bar that doesnt care too much about heat nor cold outdoor. and that also lasts long, doesn't get moldy after a few days
dates + nuts, pulsed in food processorI do this all the time with dates cashew pistachio and chocolate chips. sprinkle salt on top. lasts a few months but I keep it in the fridge until needed. I add egg white or whey powder for nutrition if I have it on hand
I like just having a bag of cashews, hazelnuts, dehydrated mulberries, and oats. Just shake a bit into mouth and eat. If your really set on a granola bar just buy them, the wrapper and preservatives are worth the extra 50cents you have to spend. I've tried making all types of granola bars and they just aren't as practical for through hikes.
>>2785361>no results on amazon.de I need a step 2, Brother.
>>2785361>he doesn't make his own foodngmi
>>2785353I like dark chocolate, sunflower seeds, pepitas, cranberries and sometimes unsweetened coconut flakes.
Has /out/ seen whats down there?
>>2785751I'm a different anon, but I already live in an area with karst topography. Even better, I know a spot where a stream comes out from the bottom of a ridge. The exit is way too small too get into, or even look inside, but someone at some point shored it up with CMUs, and built a pumphouse near it. The pump is fairly modern (probably this century anyway) but it looks like it hasn't been used in quite some time. Is this pretty strong evidence for a cave I could access with some digging? Or is it more likely just small breaches that drain the water that speaks into the ground? There is also a spring further up the hill with a small discharge.
>>2787561Update picture
>>2787561Sounds good man. Watch a dude caled Keiran Mckay on YT. You could try walking around and feeling for cool air coming out of cracks and piles of rocks.

Killed one of these creepy fuckers, any idea what it is?
>>2788282>how about OP does what I do and take a zero tolerance total bug holocaust approach?That's a pointless sisyphean struggle. If you live in the countryside insects in your house are absolutely inevitable, open a window and you'll immediately get a fill. You can't kill them all because they're infinite, but you can let natural allies stay and let them remove them from hard to reach spots.
>>2788288or I can just set up some ant traps and spray down insect killer in the places I know they tend to frequent. the only thing that continues to exist in my house, even though i kill them when i see them, are spiders. they are too clever and crafty to be completely eradicated. centipedes and millipedes are fucking dipshits, I can easily crush them as they basically exist in 2 dimensional form. spiders conquer the vertical and horizontal planes of reality, and they also kill other insects including niggapedes.
>>2788289If you live in some dead suburban plot I can see why you would want to play pest control, but if you lived in real countryside you would quickly give up.If I open a window in summer I get swarmed by so many moths they look like a snow storm, and then I hear crickets chirping inside the house all night long.
>>2788291I live in the country, a small neighbourhood surrounded by farms and forest. We get invaded by tent caterpillars every 2-3 years and then they turn into faggot moths that further swarm houses. You learn to turn off all the lights in the house and the porch light before exiting at night, otherwise they'll flutter around your kitchen like faggots for the next 2 days.

How do you recommend cooking on a campfire? this here meat was a pain to rotate and I accidently burnt off it's front legs. Then part way through the branches burnt off so I had to stab more branches into it's body only for those branches to be burnt off too.
>>2787720Not a haitian. Just an American tired of all the stray cats and my home smelling like piss.
>>2787720>"They're eating out cats and dogs"
>>2787497>> when I let it die low it'd become coalsThat’s what you want, a bed of coals to cook over, not a blazing inferno.
>>2787488cast iron if you've got it, nothing holds heat better and more evenly. if you're going to make your own spit to roast game you should use the freshest, greenest branches possible so they don't burn up easily. make your fire using large split logs, at least 1/4 of a trunk but ideally 1/2 a trunk (i.e.only splitting the log one time). this will result in the largest natural coals which will glow the longest and radiate the most heat. small twigs and bits of wood result in a very small coal bed which cools off faster, so you need to add more wood and thus more flame = more burnt food and burnt spits. if weight isn't a factor, get a cooking tripod or a cowboy cooker (basically a rod with a little grate that slides up and down it. you can also get lightweight stainless mesh grills that will never burn through.>>2788266damn that looks comfy
>>2788285Here's the mesh grill, fairly cheap on Amazon.
