The snowy world you grew up in no longer exists.

There are those out there who made billions depriving you of snowy winters.

>We as human civilization create a ridiculous amount of heat. Its the simplest and most logical explanation.
You are incredibly stupid if you think that is "logical." Humans produce negligible amounts of heat compared to the 1361 W / m^2 that the Earth receives from the Sun.
>>
>>2876497
Now the surface of the Earth is Roughly 1.29499406e+14 m2. Only 1/2 is pointed at the sun, so let's say on 1/4 of it gets the full 1361 watts. That's 1.7624869e+17. Humans produce very roughly 1.9e+12 watts. So 10000 times less.

Last year I hiked the Narrows in Zion with velcro sandals I got at Target on my feet. The water was cold as fuck but you get acclimated quickly.

I would have much preferred wearing hiking shoes and wet socks though. I felt like I had no support and walking over all those rocks just beat up my feet.

books as physical objects made from paper probably fit the style or aesthetic you are aiming for with your plan quite well. Tho I would rather recommend an App called obs identify, you might not feel as smart as when you sit on a tree stumb reading a book but it just is way faster and usually much more precise then what you can achieve with a book.
hf and be careful with mushrooms!

Lightweight footwear that's not waterproofed will dry out extremely fast, this is the first season I've switched from MOABs to some sportiva trail runners and its fantastic.

>>2877936
This. I started out with GoreTex and all that, and sure it worked well for certain contexts, but on the long run the quick drying and just not trying to get wet feet as much as possible, made my longer hikes a more pleasant experience. Sweat is worse than water imo

Stop wearing Gore-Tex boots (or any other ""waterproof"" """breathable""" liners. Get boots without Gore-Tex. It's literally that simple.

Hey frens, im not much an /out/ person, but I took my daughter by the coast and we saw some people fishing into the Atlantic and she thought it looked maybe fun.
I probably havent fished since I was a kid, but id like to start and show her how. I dont want to invest a whole lot, and want to avoid a spinner reel for her, cuz she wouldnt be using one when she's older.
Im in new england, not far from the ocean, Walden pond, a lake, some rivers.
Im coming to you guys for advice because i dont trust a google search. All advertisements. I figure some of you guys are anglers. Please, aside from a license, what do I need to get started?

im 24 and might inherit a farm and house soon, what do i do with it? it used to have horses, cows, chickens, etc, they grew crops in a greenhouse, huge storage barn for machines, several garages for cars, a cabin to rent out for tourists (we get a lot of tourists here in the summer)

my grandparents own it, but they are getting old and cant take care of it anymore, they said they are thinking of selling it but offered i take it instead. they estimate they might live there for 1 to 7 more years before they sell it or give it to me. i have 0 farming experience but im willing to learn, i'd probably start off with something easy (chickens?), i love cats so maybe i could be a cat breeder? not sure how economically viable that is. or maybe i just live there and look for a job

You want to be self sufficient and have enough of an income to support yourself, while also having a food source in case society collapses.
>A
Invest in Freerange Survival Chickens. Florida Bullfrog has an excellent intro on this, and if you have the right genetics for foragers, the chickens will basically feed themselves most the year, sometimes all year depending on the breed and climate you live in.
>B
Invest in rain catchment to not have to pay for your own water. Drilling for wells and such is also good but Rain Catchment if done right can set you up for life.
>C
Sheep are pretty good livestock, they will mow your grass for you and give you wool and meat, very versatile.
>D
Acquire Food storage, cellars, freezers, and a solar setup for good measure.
>E
Loan out your land to cattle farmers for tax reductions on your property.
>F
Help the local community, get involved, find out what the community needs in terms of business and then corner your market. Do something people will come to you for, or something you can beat out the competition in. Never sell your land, keep it in the family, pass it down for generations.

Don't listen to him OP, become a good hard working person and try to really build something with your life that future generations will admire you for centuries from now. You have endless opportunity to do something with what you've been given, so truly make something of it rather then just indulging in your own self absorption.

So I was on an anon walk in a forest at night about ~30 minutes walk away from the nearest road, on a path I knew very well. There's a spot where trees are rather young, short and densely packed, creating a completely dark zone for a few minutes of walking. When heading towards it I've seen what appeared to be a yellow round light, about 30 yards ahead, like a reflection in a scope, or dim yellow flashlight, but the round glass like reflection was the only thing that could be seen, area around it wasn't lit. It was visible for about 2 seconds and it just disappeared. I've never seen anything like it around here, and the light seemed to be obviously caused by a human - someone was there in this dark zone. I've stopped, stepped to the side of the path and listened for footsteps for about 30 seconds - not a single noise, it was dead silent. I took a leak, returned to the path, and suddenly I had a cold shiver down my spine, a sudden instinct to GTFO. So I turned back and GTFOed quickly, looking behind me every 10-15 seconds, and listening for any noises from behind me. I was walking very fast, almost running. After about 8 minutes someone ~150 yards behind me turned on a very bright white flashlight, like a flood-light. So someone was following me for ~8 minutes at a very fast pace, at night, while trying to not make noise.
I'm not sure wtf was that encounter. Some hunter hunting for deer?

They posted notices all over nearby entrances to the forest to:
>if you see anything weird, abandoned or man-made, please do not touch it, we're having mystery games in the region and you might spoil fun for some kids if you misplace objects that are part of the games
They've painted eyes, hands, different symbols on tree trunks, placed colored sticks on the ground, built a small stick-shelters-village etc
I don't know the details but it looked like it was for 12-16 year olds

Counterpoint

Yes, it's borderline LARP, but frankly, who doesn't do that? Most people out there larp as wilderness explorers in their overpriced WPB jackets even if they just walk their dog in fair weather, some people larp as old-timey hunters or farmers in their wool jackets.
And yes, it DOES breathe better than most other materials. The moisture related properties of wool are not replicated by either synthetic polymers or cellulose based fibres. (I guess silk might be similar, but that's obviously not an outerwear option.) Which is btw. the reason you like wool baselayers as well. They're covered in kind of polymer, but it's ridiculously thin and water permeable, so the properties are mostly retained.

Is the arcteryx alpha sv worth it? It’s on sale with a great discount but I feel like arcteryx is low quality these days so it never comes across my mind to purchase their products. Looking for a jacket to use for mostly moderate mountaineering with some technical climbs. Not sure it’s worth choosing over the rab latok alpine gtx pro I’m looking at.
