It's been a while since I've seen a /mush/ thread! How is everyone's fall mushroom season treating them? I've been finding tons of mushrooms!! Lots of these Satan's boletes, rubroboletus eastwoodiae, popped up everywhere. Too bad they're not good to eat..

I think my coldest /out/ was a sleigh ride in -14°C when I was a kid. The coldest I've ever been outside for a few minutes was -22°C.
>>2852347that would be greati usually wear a fur hat and fur lined hood under -30 just to keep the frost from building up. it's pretty nice
>>2851770almost -20 °C for one night when i was stranded on a tiny train station in the middle of nowhere because the fucking deutsche bahn doesn't function when it's a bit cold
>>2851770I started a hike at 10F (-12C) today. Never hiked in that kind of weather before. Also my first time hiking in snow. Not as bad as I thought it would be. I removed my fleece like 10 minutes into the hike. The only thing I had trouble keeping warm was my hands. I think the handwarmers i brought were duds or I didn't activate them correctly.My lips are a bit irritated after the fact though. I used chapstick thoroughly not sure how to prevent that.

I want to try mountaineering but I'm scared of heights
>>2852542You don't have to start on steep grades and exposed ridges.Start with easy trails and get accustomed to being high up.
>>2852542>nature's is JFC >>2852545That's just hiking.
>>2852548>That's just hiking.You have to start somewhere.
As someone who was also pretty fuckin scared of heights (and still is, depending on the situation) but now helps teach a mountaineering course:Start off scrambling (aka "spicy hiking"). Keep it below Class 3. Learn to orienteer, you can get lost as fuck off trail.A decent amount of mountaineering doesn't actually involve much exposure to heights. A lot of mountaineering is just about glacier travel and off-trail navigation in the alpine. You can climb, for instance, all five of the WA Volcanos without any actual class 5 rock or ice. That doesn't mean there aren't sketchy sections with big run-outs, just pointing out that "mountaineering" != "hiking + rock climbing" like a lot of people think it is. It's kinda a different set of skills, with some overlap, but it's not the same thing.Working on balance can help a lot with a fear of heights. Fear of heights is actually fear if falling. Do a lot of balance exercise.Of course exposure therapy helps too. Try rock climbing outdoors. The best exposure therapy is rappelling. Find some local top-rope crag and rappell until it's automatic. But never practice repelling without an instructor, at least not the first 50 or so times.Endurance is huge for mountaineering. Weighted uphill hikes are the best way to train. Don't waste time with anything else.
>>2852548>That's just hiking.Most mountaineering is just hiking that then turns into class 3 or 4 scrambling. Gotta walk before you can crawl.
I want to quit society and live out in nature.Where can I do this, and how should I prepare?

>>2851869?
>>2838506you can'thumans have always, without exception, lived in and relied on societies. right now the impact of civilization also happens to be global. you can minimize your exposure to the world but leaving it is a fantasy and these threads suck.
Hunting season is upon the northern hemisphere>what are you hunting this year?>any changes in gear?>any interesting stories from last year?
>>2852455Elders, friends. Whoever.
You yanks have no idea how good you have it, hunting in the UK costs an arm and a leg unless you can use someone's land.
>>2852505Just have to pay the mass shooting toll every few weeks.

I'm going to post birds here that I see from my dinning room window. I might post some from other locations too.
>>2852155>what the birds see when they look into OP's window.
>>2852167They get lost easily compared to other birds, their homing instinct can be fucky. Just to let you know. If you're taking it anywhere near outdoors train it to know you by a whistle (an actual whistle) so that it can find its way home.Too many parrots have "flown away" over the years.
>>2852155We posting birbs?
>>2852155It's hard to take birb pic with a phone
>>2852202I saw one of these fly by me, and now I have to buy a camera and lense and hunt it down to get some pictures.

>>2850072when picrel happened, only creatures able to get close to the stuck 6 feet guy were 5 feet manlets and women
>>2850220were they able to get in there with him?
>>2850249only 1-2 guys at a time were able to get nearby him, only 1 person right next to him at a time. some rescuers were able to partially squeeze right next to him into the crack to tie rope to his legs or later around his waist (though they report it was very difficult to do so).>About 5 hours later Spencer called me up and asked me to respond, saying that people were getting tired and they really needed small cavers. >After stabilizing myself by jamming my body into a narrower section of the crack I began speaking to John...>I went first to check, just in case the paramedic couldn’t fit. I first tried the stethoscope and was only able to get it about 3 inches up and to the right of his naval. I didn’t hear a distinct heart beat, only some ruffling, fluttering sounds that were probably a result of me shaking as I tried to steady myself in an awkward location. I then jammed my hand between the rock and pressed as far up his torso I could go to feel for breathing.https://www.brandonkowallis.com/2024/02/the-nutty-putty-cave-rescue-the-death-of-john-jones-one-rescuers-perspective/you can check his report, there are also some cool diagrams and photos

Apart from like a handful of shorter hikes, I haven't actually been properly outing. I mean like going out somewhere actually wild where I can sit in my own thought, take in nature, cook food and sleep.I'm not even sure why, it happened after I moved to this place. I was planning on doing it last spring, just finding a place in a forest or some place, but the weather was just so shit, it's always shit here, maybe that's why
nigga just go outside. its not exactly difficult.
>>2851383Life gets in the way anon. I'm in the same boat, my last expedition to anywhere remote was over two years ago, and probably that was my last field recording as well.I moved back to the city and although I live right at the edge of a national park in the outskirts, it's not the same. I can go on nice bushwalks right outside the house but all I do is work these days and I just don't have the time I used to have for my outdoor hobbies. It kind of sucks, but I guess it's a matter of motivation. Also I drink on weekend nights and that wastes half the weekend because I'm lying around the first half of each day being a piece of shit.
>>2851501>Life gets in the way anon ... but all I do is work these days and I just don't have the time I used to have for my outdoor hobbies.Why?I'm leaving next week for an eleven-day hiking trip in New Zealand with five of my mates and while it's easy enough for self-employed ass to take time off whenever, three of the others are doctors, all right at the point in their careers where they're working their asses off the absolute most. Fuck, one of them is doing a PhD alongside his ICU residency. Another is newly married and had to book flights to visit his in-laws on the way. If we can coordinate a trip like that then surely you can rustle up a few days for a trip on your own.
Are you going /out/ this weekend anon?
>>2851383Pick place that has good weather this weekend that you can drive to in five hours or less. Look up campsites NOW. Look up trails on altrails for that area NOWLeave in a few hours.
Recommendations for rain coats that can also protect from wind? Don't want to spend a sexy chunk of cash for bullshit

>>2852098no its captain highliner.
>>2852178Do you not layer with wool?
>>2852180oh yeah, all my layers are wool in fact, but even just a wool singlet is enough to be a hot sweaty mess
>>2852077Poncho with a woobie

Why is Patagonia so surreal and beautiful? And why does it look somewhat like Dolomites?
>>2852442Patagonia is the end of the world, or at least the end of the combined American continent, a mystical place, the final checkpoint before continuing through the gauntlet of the Drake Passage and on to the frozen hellscape of Antarctica
Share with anons and get ideas.I make breakfast oat bombs. In a bag I put 100g of oats, 25g of milk powder, 25g of coconut milk powder and 20g of brown sugar one bag for each breakfast and eaten warm. Sometimes I will crumble a bit of my homemade vanilla short bread into it. With 6 inch flour tortillas, salami, dry aged parmesan, powdered tomato, olive oil and some paprika + garlic I cook quesidillas or put it all together cold. I cook simple mini pizzas with the same ingredients. Dinners are less routine. Sometimes I do the a laksa with the paste and 100g of capellini + everything else or I use instant mash potato and throw in everything.Eventually I am going to test out blending macadamia nuts into a butter and adding it to each of my meals. Has anyone here ever done that before?
>>2851540Sorry anon. You need to actually go out to comment on a thread about camp meals.I tend to just go for dehydrated meals or ramen for dinner, trail mix and cliff bars for lunch, and quicks oats with a squeeze of peanut butter for breakfast.Need to start being a bit more creative but my last trip was 7 days of pretty long hiking so I was preoccupied with weight.

In honor of Halloween, and we haven't talked about this guy in like a year, I'd like to get everyone to remember the tragic tale of James Kim, who got cuck-killed by his nagging white wife. Guy, his wife, and their daughters, age 4 and 7 mo finished Thanksgiving with family in Seattle, and decided to stay at a resort on the Oregon coast on the way back to San Francisco. He was television personality and audio reviewer for CNET. This was in late 2006, so before smartphones. They missed the turn to the main highway connecting interstate 5 with the Oregon coast, pulled into a gas station to ask directions, and fucked it up from there. The wife was nagging him to get home and it got dark and they ended up on logging roads that theoretically DO connect I-5 and the Oregon coast, but it was snowing heavily and they turned around, got lost, and gave up. He went to seek help and died frozen, and the wife and two daughter survived. The price a man pays for a hypergamous marriage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Kim

Just ordered the North Face Stormbreak 2. What tent are you rocking? What do you love and hate about it? What tent do you want?
>>2850361What a score, I would kill for a find like this to bring hunting with me.
>>2827319I want a bushtec canvas tent to set up in a secret spot in the woods somewhere and furnish nicely to seldomly return to again. If you can find another tent rated for 15 years outdoors, let me know. It only weighs 150 pounds to carry out there.
>>2827319There is only one tent that beats everything and it is perfect.But because of that, they no longer produce it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FY-_xcvIzuwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dj6cRfRi0zs
>>2831160I've been using a Kelty tn4 since November 2016, and I have been extremely happy with it. It is heavy, but I use it to camp with my wife and 2 daughters and I like the extra room it offers.
>>2827319Stock image, but mine is similar.
>go /out/ camping with friend who has never been before>pay for everything before, tell him the only rule is that he shan’t talk to me until I’ve had my coffee>wake up next morning>haven’t had my coffee>he tries talking to meMy reaction when What are some things that piss you off while /out/?
You sound like a faggot
>>2851677OP is a massive faggot. His ass was probably full of cum from the night before. He probably was going to dispense some into his coffee as substitute creamer. OP isn't afraid of bears. He makes sure his tent is rainbow colored and has a trail of food leading to it. There very well could be someone gayer than OP out there, but OP's level of faggotry is so profound that it is incredibly unlikely that I will ever encounter anything like it again. Out there in the far reaches of some African jungle or in the depths of a Dutch disco hall, you might find someone gayer than OP. Try as you might, you'd probably get infected and die of AIDS before finding a fruitier fudge packer.
>>2851689its ok to be gay but having rigid rules for socialization is harmful
>>2851663>What are some things that piss you off while /out/?Litter.
>Pay for everything beforeWhy pay money when you can do it for free
