Where are all the mushrooms edition?
>>2842943They're based. A lot of personality in a small handsome package. I don't have many around me, just crows and magpies who steal my cats food. They sit on the trees at 5pm watching me feed the cats.
Not exactly Brit, but close enough.Dinner is secured tonight.
Anyone walked the Ridgeway? Looking to do it next year in Septemberish as a charity thing for a friend that died due to cancer last year.>>2843637Not usually as this board has autists from around the world and foraging is very specific to your area. >>2843754Do you get much use out of it? I wear a Tissot Heritage 1938 daily and swap to an ancient Timex expedition with a broken indiglo when /out/

Looking for suggestions for lightweight, high energy/protein/carbs food to take on long hike wild camping.I can cook things in mess tins but ideally if so needs to be fast cooked from a small fire in mess tins.So far I have beef jerky and processed rice or cous cous packets of dehydrated meals with vegetables and spices in them. Cous cous can be hydrated in 5 mins with boiling water. Rice 15-25 mins.Looking for stuff I can carry a bulk of but are easy on pack weight while also high in energy and nutrition.
>>2849394>Having to hydrate/boil every mealYou need to consume and procure (or bring) water anyway. Whether you drink it or make soup with it doesn't make much difference.
>>2849394Fucking retards like you deserve to die out in the wild.Filters or purification tablets are last resort in desperate situations when you need to drink shitty polluted or dirty water, not when you are near a water source that you subsequently boil and contain to carry with you.God fucks like you have no clue how to survive in the woods.Stop posting you brown skin faggot
>>2849395For drinking cooking and bathing but apparently those jeet fucks think they can just drink muddy water from a filtration straw and be perfectly fine.Retards
>>2848601>I am not carrying a fucking cast iron skilletThat is why no one will remember your name.
>>2849396>Filters or purification tablets are last resort in desperate situations when you need to drink shitty polluted or dirty water, not when you are near a water source that you subsequently boil and contain to carry with you.can you explain further?qwhat's teh difrenrecne betweennevermind
https://www.sfgate.com/national-parks/article/national-park-workers-struggling-survive-21169466.phpThe national parks are slowly collapsing. What are we going to do about it?
>>2849156more than you son.
>>2849011Sell parts of it as real estate

Moving to Madison soon, so how would you guys rate Wisconsin? I did quite a bit of fishing there growing up, which was fantastic, but what about everything else? Hiking, homesteading, skiing, etc. I've heard are all pretty good there.
>>2847889Anywhere in particular within the Dells? The Dells looks (from minimal inspection) to be like Hocking Hills where its slot canyons so you can't really get a longitudinal view without a drone.
>>2848025Yer
Lived in Madison for seven yearsThe Ice Age Trail is neat. The most spectacular landscapes will be found where the rivers cross the Driftless Area, like Spring Green and La Crosse. The northern woods are great for fishing and just being in the woods by yourself. Kwik Trip kicks ass, they're all over the place and have cheap, hot food all the time. I didn't spend much time near Lake Michigan but it's certainly there for you to explore.
>>2847378Fuck you the moccasin bar has the worlds largest Muskie in it.
I have Wisconsin relatives and they are an eclectic bunch of functional alcoholics. I brought my cousin to a bar in Fort Collins for a beer pong tournament and he got denied because he was accused of being a ringer. And truthfully he actually was. Dude doesn't miss. At my fraternity he brought a case of Kessler whiskey and made us old fashioned and whiskey sours from bottled sundrop. Even muddled the sugar, cherries orange and bitters. He was the last to pass out and up at 7am, beer in hand. >>2847571Wisconsinites are nothing more that Cajun Canadians. They have a unique dialect, friendly as fuck, live in woods and farmland, live beer cheese and maple syrup. Canadians of the deep south.
KEYSTONE WAS THE FIRST RESORT TO OPEN YESTERDAY AT 3PM!
>>2848211Read "Staying Alive in Avalanche Terrain" by Bruce Tremper at least before you think about going out. It's basically the Bible for this stuff. Picrel is from that book and describes the danger of Backcountry skiing pretty concisely.
>>2848241Great read, but it's no substitute for an intro to backcountry course and/or going out with experienced friends.
ANDES TOWER HILLS MAY OPEN TOMORROW SKIING IS IMMINENT IN THE MIDWEST
>>2848242>>2848241I was born with a complete knowledge of the outdoors because I'm not a woman
East Coast resorts are starting to open too after the recent storm cycle <3
I want to become more outdoorsy, but I have little to no knowledge of how. I wanna start fishing, camping and hiking, but I have no clue how to start. I don't trust myself to even start a bonfire. But at the same time, I don't have any friends or family that are into this stuff. Any tips?
>>2845786>caring about becoming "outdoorsy"bitch nigga if your first concern is to get the "outdoorsy" label you're already NGMI
>>2848987You mean I can't go to rei and get a $600 Cotopaxi jacket and wear it around my office like I'm some sort of badass?
>>2845786go for a little walks by yourself first and find a community of normie hikers and make friends. they'll show you the basics just to get things started and later you'll decide yourself what do you personally want from going /out/.
>>2845786just do something, what is currently getting me into hiking is really just having been outside in some amazing places outside of my own countries on hikes and seen some breathtakingly beautiful nature. so now there is actually a drive to experience more.
>>2847519What about now, bro? It's been nearly another two weeks, have you gone out since then?
What's it like permanently living on a sail boat and sailing around the world? It seems to be the only way you can truly be free in the modern world. I'm not naive, there is obviously risks, but if you aren't an idiot and get sufficient experience beforehand are you most likely to be fine? Any other interesting/useful information is also appreciated.
>>2849079Or lots of singular swimming greenhouse pots trailing after you in a net like structure.
>>2849082:O
>>2849082>>2849082Two drifters meet, something needs to be exchanged
>>2847522I live on my sailboat (cs36t) about 6 months a years the other six months I am working away from my home port. I've had it for about 12 years now bought it for 44k and put in it more then 50k so around 100k total invested in it. Don't regret it at all went south 8 years ago alone from east Canada to Bahamas had a blast and will do it again soon.
>>2849001I would say that growing plants on a boat is a massive pain in the ass. You need fresh water, soil, decent weather, pollinators, maybe a way to keep plants away from the sun. Also as one anon said you would have a problem with space. If you can solve all these problems well good job
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.
>>2847550sweet
Two decades of being out and I have yet to use my knife for anything other than gutting fish or otherwise preparing food.
I have this Kabar Potbelly that I would call my "survival" knife. It's handy for chopping firewood and other meme bushcraft type stuff. Pretty sturdy, dug and hammered stuff with it. Sheath has a big pouch that i can fit plenty of stuff in. I'm confident enough with it, this plus a saw & multi tool and you are golden. Been thinking of getting a swiss army knife to put in the sheath pouch instead of bringing my leatherman
>>2847614>he's never cut rope/cordage>he's never de-barked a log>he's never made anything with wood>he's never made a pointed end on a stick>he's never used a ferro rodPretty grim two decades.

I need a water bottle that1. Won't poison me with microplastics or metal flakes2. Is easy to clean without a dishwasher 3. Holds at least a liter What are my options?
just open your mouth and look up when it rains
>>2846197Micro plastics.
>>2846779try my foreskin
>>2841766Get a liter of Durango brand tequila. One time in highschool I got drunk off it with some little hoodrat kids and they tried to break it and couldn't because it was so reinforced. They even whipped it into the blacktop as hard as they could and it bounced up into the air like 30 feet and came back down and still didn't break. That was 2014 though, can't vouch for them anymore
>>2841747Nigga carries a dinosaur on his back baka
I might legit be going crazy but recently in the past few months the sound of machines and engines has only been making me more and more angry and now it's at a point where if I hear some faggot with no muffler rev his engine on the road or if I hear some boomer running his lawn mower or string trimmer or leaf blower I feel a murderous rage. There is no peace or quiet or tranquility in society. I don't know what to do about this, if I'm just vitamin deficient or something, but the sounds of engines and machines specifically piss me off so much I almost can't live in my own house anymore. Anyone else feel this anger at the destruction of tranquility? We always need to be spewing noise and smoke and filth everywhere because otherwise some faggot boomer will get mad that there's a few leaves on the sidewalk. I'm starting to think Edward Abbey was onto something.
>>2847671>I'm starting to think Edward Abbey was onto something.Wait 'til you read Ted Kaczynski.
>>2847837Calm down agent Glowberg, let him come to you organically, the brainrot is working, he'll get there sooner than later.
>>2847671Just look at it as part of nature. We are animals as well, so try to view all the noises humans make, engine noises, sirens and music as like birdsong, part of the world and something to be enjoyed. If you can't change something in the world, change how you view it. The other alternaitive is to just keep letting yourself get annoyed at random things you have no power over, I guess.
>>2847671Populations with a higher average IQ tend to favor less noise pollution.
>>2847671yeah, i feel youi just wish it were easy/cheap to fly anywhere in the world & you could give a fake name at the airport & 6-figure-salary software engineers didn't make less than low-skill laborers 50 years ago, etcit wouldn't feel as horrible that way since you could just go somewhere else for awhile
Has anyone else felt that after spending most of your daily life, and daily routine in a city that once you get out into nature, theres a type of "disconnect"?I can't really explain it, but I felt a type of anxiety it wasnt real bad but it was a feeling of alertness and of a sort of survival instinct kicking in that I completely forget about when i am in the city.I also feel really powerless in a way since I had this thought of "well this is life and earth in its truest and rawest form" like I know that if I got dropped off in the middle of those woods my life would be miserable since I wouldnt have clue what to do. Much less would in any capacity would I be capable of surviving (and thrive) long term. I wouldn't even know how to dress myself. or even be competent to hunt anything probably until after a couple of weeks....is this some sort of sign that I am living life the "wrong" way by living in a city? that city living is a sort of parasidic lazy way to live?
>>2848641You wrote the entire post without one "literally" so nice work.Life is better when you go out into the woods and live as you should for a while. Easy to see through the BS of the modern world but also be grateful for its comforts.
>>2848641>>2848889>>2848952The anxiety comes from you being way out of your element. The subconscious fears of nature that have been implanted in you from a lifetime of spooky stories and news articles, alongside the realization that you have absolutely no ability to survive in your current environment if need be and are utterly unprepared for any type of bad situation.The city is safe. You have locks on your doors, you can call the police, you can call your neighbours, there are safety cameras all around you making sure that you're alright, there are people everywhere, etc. Nature is scary. You're all alone. No one will come to your aid for a very long time if you need it. There are no police to call in an emergency. There's no one telling you where to go if you get lost. If you break an ankle that might be the end of you. The bears and cougars will eat you if they want, and there's nothing you can do about it.For the first time in your life, you're experiencing raw nature.
>>2848641People get comfortable in the places they spend their time. I spend more time 10+ miles from pavement than I spend inside the ring freeway of a major metropolitan area. I’m more comfortable watching wolves run through my camp than I am driving in an area where I have to worry about pedestrians. I frequently go more than a year between seeing panhandlers. I’m just more conditioned to wilderness than to the urban reality. You are conditioned to a different set of conditions to me and are out of your element where I am comfortable and vice versa.
>>2848641>I felt a type of anxiety it wasnt real bad but it was a feeling of alertness and of a sort of survival instinct kicking in that I completely forget about when i am in the city.>is this some sort of sign that I am living life the "wrong" way by living in a city?No it's a sign that you're exactly the type of city person who should stay far away from anywhere else. If trees freak you out but people don't then please refrain from going near trees.
>>2848641Yes, you are living your life wrong. You're like those battered women who start having panic attacks when they finally met a guy that can have a disagreement with them without hitting them.
Obviously idk about the specific measurements for a spear (much less polearms) but what i do know is that for personal use (outside of formations) the total length must be at least close to the height of your doorframe (210cm) but i'm going for the shortest end which is 180cm. The shaft would be 150cm long and the spearhead 30cm, again CMIIW because i'm using the same ratio for straight swords. The blacksmith recommended me using sleipner steel or D2 for the spearhead, sleipner costs around 191 usd and D2 149 usd, for the shaft he hasn't given me any specifics yet.For the design, i'm currently going rather simple as starters but suggestions are welcome.Any advice?
>>2848331I put my meat spear in your mom.now it burns when I pee.
>>2848254Depends what you want it for, for a wall hanger anything will do, for boar hunting you're going to want the spear and some big ass dogs. You should check out:https://www.kultofathena.com/product-category/weapons/spears-polearms/and see what you like. Spears are basic bitch hunting tools, pointy end goes in the other thing, done.Hell you could even just get a Cold Steel bushman and call it a day for $25 bux. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgrRq3Bdojc>>2848326THIS IS A /lgbt/ comment, don't be gay.Comment too long.

can anyone recommend a good pair of hiking boots? price doesn't really matter, i'm just trying to get a decent pair of boots that won't bust a hole straight through the bottom like my last pair (my walking posture is fine)
I bought a pair of vans hiking shoes cause they looked cool and I wanted some casual shoes from them and they had buy one get one.they seem really nice, heavier than hiking shoes from soloman or altra or something. interested to see how they hold up.
>>2843610https://a.co/d/10p0Phx
>>2848979you tried them?
>>2849306Yes, I've owned a pair for a bit over a year. Very nice boots. Comfortable, good tread, waterproof(tested, wouldn't step in water past the ankles though).
