Man gets got by bear. In Montana Daniel Crago of California speaks out after surviving grizzly bear attack at Glacier National Park in Montana - ABC7 Los Angeles https://abc7.com/post/daniel-crago-california-speaks-surviving-grizzly-bear-attack-glacier-national-park-montana/19251783/
>>2871730Dude.>black bear>brown bear>A MOTHERFUCKING GRIZZY BEARYoure comparing walking throigh the surf and accidentally kicking a sand shark vs a great white.
>>2872237Do you know nothing? Grizzly bear attacks are no fun but you can survive them by curling up and faking death. Black bears - which I've run into countless times while berry picking or hiking - will almost always run away. But if they don't run away, the recommendation is to fight for your life because there is no curling up in a ball or laying still that will stop them from killing you. You underestimate them at your own peril.
>>2872223wait, that can happen?i thought bears dematerialized after ever successful attack?
>>2872237Both will fucking kill you.
>>2871658Everyone in the world thinks California is a joke
> Be me.> Taking a shit in the woods on a backpacking trip> Enjoying the feeling of being completely alone deep in the wilderness> being one with nature, etc. etc.> Finish up, burying my shit, I turn around and notice a trailcam pointed at me.> These fuckers are everywhere this year.> Ruining my primitive experience.>> At the very least, maybe they could be used to secure a camp site with monitoring and alerting while you sleep?> Still, I find the prospect of being on camera at all times, including private moments deep in the wilderness very disconcerting.

>>2871156the technology to detect schizoid hallucinations isn't available on temu yet.
thread unironically ended herebaby's first discovery of what public means ass thread
>>2872564It's pretty clear most of the posters upset at the idea of trail cams have been idly fantasizing about stalking female campers and jerking off on their tents, and are now infuriated at the idea they could be caught at it with video evidence.

In 2025 Tatra National Park in Poland had 5 266 672 visitors which means it's more popular than any national park in the US other than Great Smoky Mountains despite being as small as Mesa Verde and 40 times smaller than Yellowstone
>>2872178it does look nice. Im glad folks have a place to get outside.
>>2872096So you're nearly guaranteed to run into someone. Thanks I'll put it on my never visit list
>>2872096GSMNP only has more visitors because the east coast is literally devoid of any other national parks worth going to that are also easily accessible. >b-but Acadiait's boring as fuck, yes the ocean is cool but it's a one and done. Not a lot of worthwhile hiking and it's so far north in Maine that's its an inconvenience to go to . GSMNP is positioned in such a way that literally tens of millions of people can easily weekend trip to it from both the north, south, west, and east of it.As for the west coast, you have so many parks that are actually good that there's no reason to go t o them all really. Just find one you like that isn't overcrowded and stick with it. Not to mention once again there's huge distances between some of these park so realistically most people are getting to maybe one or two at best if they have a busy life.
I'm English, which means my shithole is even smaller and more overpopulated than that. The best strategy to cope with it (yes, cope) is to get started well before dawn. As soon as it's barely light, or even in the dark if you want, not only is the early morning the best time of day but you will be there and well away before even the earliest of normalfags have finished their latte let alone packed the "V-dub" camper-van and put the dog in its hi-vis body wrap (ready to be let off the leash as soon as they are in the countryside) and begun the drive in from town for a long day of taking 'nature selfies' for their abhorrent social media accounts. I get out and start walking by 0330 in the Summer and as soon as I get a bit of grey light in the Winter. You rarely meet anybody but when you do it's either a farmer or another autist; not hundreds of normalfags swarming like you see any time from 1000 onwards.
>>2872096>In 2025 Tatra National Park in Poland had 5 266 672 visitorsI uh... I wouldn't brag about that.
Lets have a plant identification thread, for wildflowers, succulents, grasses/sedges, shrubs, trees, mosses, etcIll start: anyone know what this plant is? Looks like some kind of fern, is it Sensitive fern. (Onoclea sensibilis) ??
honestly this is one of the few legit uses of AI
>>2872453Please go picking mushrooms with a LLM
>>2872453It's okay for plants.Good luck doing lichen or moss ID with AI
>>2872450Lilyturf; liriope muscari
>>2872477Thx, hope youre right. Ill confirm when/if it blooms in septembre
K sorry if this thread is not so great it’s my first time on 4chan ever. Is there anyone that can tell me if sugar rocket fuel with potassium nitrate and icing sugar is better when just in powder form or melted down with water in a pan. I wanna make some rocket motors a maybe firecrackers with it and I’m wondering what would work better. I’ve never done this before and only 13 so I really have no idea. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks
>>2871661>I’ve never done this before and only 134chins is 18+ kiddo
>>2871676OP here not a glowie I just looove shit that blows up also fuck being 18
>>2871738>also fuck being 18go back to roblox son.
>>2871713Isn't /out/ on 4channel and technically kosher for minors as well?
>>2872414no, it's all 18+, blue board are just supposed to be "safe for work"
but why does it make me feel so bad sometimes?
>>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?
>>2868491you probably have dysentery or some shit
>>2868491getting skunked is a part of the game. if you dont live where theres good fishing, you have to understand this going in. one day i hope to move to somewhere with actual lakes and rivers.
>>2868497go pick your trash up you lazy prick
>>2868497ewwww he litters
I walked in some thick tall grass today, and I could see the pollen puff all over the place in the air. About ten minutes later I thought I was gonna die, I was hallucinating and disoriented I had to sit down and douse my eyes and fell asleep on my little chair in the middle of the woods. Is this normal? It's never happened to me before.
>>2871224If so then it's possibly lethal. OP are you dead?
>>2871281I'm alive. It was from some sort of grass pollen, I ended up at home taking a nap, which ended up being a 6 hour sleep lol...I guess my body didn't like that type of grass pollen.
>>2871295It's not like common allergies, you better consult a doc and stay the hell out of that grass land for life.
>>2871198>Is this normal?Yeah, my wife developed her allergies out of the blue as well some years ago. Before that she never had any.Last summer my pollen allergies were so bad that I had to go get an asthma pipe from the doc for it. He said that last year the allergy situation was extremely bad all over in Europe. This summer feels like just as bad as the last one. I have been triple dosing telfast (per doctors perscription), usibg zaditen eyedrops twice a day and taking puffs from the asthma pipe every evening and morning. Also I flush my sinuses daily, I can literally see the slime pouring from my nostrils as I do it. Have I mentioned that I hate summer?
>>2872415Oh and I forgot to mention, this all doesn't stop me from going outdoors. I just keep the asthma pipe on me in addition to some allergy pills and eye drops at all times.
>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
>>2868285>made it to the beach why didnt he just walk around?
>>2868285The helicopter was already there and landed and was like "Nah, I'm going to let that seat stay empty."
>>2868285I hiked the Kauai trail from top to bottom. So far the trail basically stopped and obviously no one had gone that far forever or at least months.Getting back was so bad I cramped up all over and had to stop about twenty times re ascending.It's not that bad out there. Guy must have been a retard.But it was THICK as fuck literally 2 feet off the "trail". The "trail" could only be seen by looking straight down at times and assuming that it continued on.10/10
>>2870395hmm but this is molokai, not kauai
>>2868285He got swept away, that's why they can't find him.
I don't really remember buying this, and I can fine any others online. Curious who else may still have theirs.
>>2871570Vostok Heavy Industries has that patch. He's been on leave since he became a father in 2024.
>>2871727Yeah he had a bunch of nice patches but at this point Im not sure if he ever comes back
>>2871727He's not "on leave" if he's been a father for more than two years.
>>2869618Not listed anywhere on the site. I don't think they sell it anymore.
>>2871727been waiting for his "leave no trace" patch to be restocked since 2023. shame he's inactive
Has anyone bought anything from packcamping? Seems the prices are the site are too good to be true, but maybe they are a clearance operation so I don't know.
>>2872379Site registered two months ago through a private hosting LLC, selling everything at half-price? You shouldn't even need to ask...Came across something similar searching for a water bladder recently, all other products they stocked were shit I'd seen on Aliexpress for cheaper prices and sure enough, the same water bladder was being sold on Ali too. If this site even sends you anything it will 100% be dropshipped knockoffs and not what is pictured, but I'd genuinely be surprised if you even get that much for your money.
So I happened upon an ad for an "outdoors bidet", which screws onto your water bottle and lets you wash your ass when you take a shit.The woman said that it frees you from carrying your used toilet paper.Herein comes the question, who the fuck carries his used TP?You know you can just leave it in the wilderness and it will decompose, right?
>>2872323Did dozens of other people follow right behind him a few days later?
>>2872116This desu. One bad shit can take all your sheets. Bidet is faster and cleaner of you have the water, 1-2 sheets to dry. Also important if you aren't getting a shower for days.
>>2872030kek
>>2871645>>2871643The amount of shit I produce is astronomical. Sometimes I pop out massive logs enough to build a log cabin. Or it comes out as literal shit storm I can coat an entire house with it. I have had times when I dig a cat hole I will fill it up to the brim. For me it's not possible for me to carry out my poop. If I had to do that, I would need a team of sherpas.
If I have another garbage bag I put it there and throw the bag in the closest trash can. And if I can't carry it I just bury it because at least in that way the next person don't have to see it and I think it decomposes faster too. Just common sense.
Next year I will walk the Via Francigena in less then a 100 days wild camping the whole way.anyone else done this before?
>>2872296I did a small part a long time ago but going north to visit my family in ChampagneThere was basically no one hiking in these parts, still met a couple of pilgrims, I remember one was going all the way to Jerusalem
>>2872296you'll be no more than a few hours from civilization so don't sweat it
>>2872296there are some very urbanized sections, in Tuscany you'd go through 38 towns/villages in 380km so finding a spot to put down your tent in might be a pain in the ass at times
>>2872296just so you know, for the france part wild camping per se is outlawed, but we do make a difference between wild camping and bivouac that is allowed, but still follow lawsyou might want to checkdécret n° 2015-1783 du 28 décembre 2015article R111-32, R111-33, and R111-34national parks you may cross also have their own rulesyou could also not give a shit, you will by fine as long as you're discreetmaybe check on the swiss side of things, they're zealous cunts, i would personally avoid switzerland entirely
>>2872315>>2872302Logistics like this are what make this kind of trip difficult. You have to be super flexible about where you plan on staying and how far you’re willing to go.
This is my first time on /out/ so apologies if this post does not belong here. When I was rather young, probably somewhere between 4-7, I remember taking a trip to a rather unique building. I do not remember the name of this building or exactly where it was located however I have a crystal clear memory of what the inside and outside of the building looked like. The building was cylindrical, with a near 100% reflective glass and metal exterior. Approaching the building from the front no other buildings or man made structures were visible. It was built on top of a very well maintained grassy hill with trees visible behind it. The interior of the building was also cylindrical and based on my memory somewhere between 12 and 15 stories tall. The building appeared to either be some kind of office building or a hotel. The building was also located within an hour and a half of Dayton Ohio if my memory serves me correctly, however it could have been farther away. I do not remember why I was there or even who took me. The building has fascinated me for a long time and I finally want to start trying to see if I can find it. I have considered asking my parents about this however neither of them have an exceptionally good memory and both of them traveled due to work so asking about one random hotel or office building would probably be pointless. I am also willing to admit that my memory may be incorrect seeing that this memory was formed no less than 15 years ago. Once again, sorry if this does not belong on this board. I will be back after work to check up on the thread so I will be unable to reply for about 9-10 hours.
>>2872198Ya know, it's the Radisson, so it's pretty good.
>>2872128Try asking an LLM. This is the type of thing they're somewhat good at figuring out. When I was a kid, we passed through what looked like a part of a big city's residential area magically transported into a valley in rural Pennsylvania. Never could find out the name of the place with Google over the years but ChatGPT figured it out on the first try. You can also try the Stupid Questions thread on /diy/. Architecture is frequently discussed on that board so it shouldn't be too far off topic. And that board is full of Rust Belters.
>>2872198>>2872201>>2872202No, its not the Radisson. I thought about that but the building had no visible external balconies and there are several other inconsistencies. The location also is off.

I am new to gardening and am looking for a new plant. A plant that is good for bees, or that bees are naturally attracted too.Preferably a plant that could also be useful in other ways I was considering Rosemary, since I also use that in cooking but I’m asking for other recommendations. Plant will have to be suitable for California conditions. Bees are my favorite insect
They've moved on to my St John's Wort.
>>2872004Which is good and blooming.
>>2871044California has more endemic wildflowers than anywhere else on the planet
>>2870839Raspberries (preferably an erased planter if you don't want it overgrowing where you don't want it to) and any native drought resistant plants.The raspberries will prefer partial shade if you have it. Set up a little bit of water retention / mulch and soak pits and you can have yearly plants basically on auto pilot
>>2872111I think front range CO gets as little rain as SoCal 75% of the time, but here's my mom's drought resistant garden. Has decent east and south shade, the shade vines haven't grown all the way around yet, but this spot has a fine time with just rain water and the mulch.
