>>2879360Welcome to the best club. You may now adopt the correct facial hair.
>>2880348i wish i could grow such a beard, but i'm instead stuck looking like a guy fawkes mask (not even the man himself...)
>>2873866I think the other anon is right: you may have bought cheap non-merino wool socks.The softness (and itchiness) of wool is determined by the size of the individual wool fibers. Base layers often use a finer fiber (around 16 microns) while outer layers and mid layers can get away with something a bit more coarse, like 22 microns. Cheap wool, that doesn’t specifically say the type of wool it is (ie, not cashmere, llama/alpaca, merino, qiviut, vicuña) is generally from Shetland sheep and is about 30 microns. There’s also a lanolin allergy, but most washed wool doesn’t contain much, and you’d have to be pretty sensitive to it.
>>2871825But the warranty. They'll just send you a new pair for free.
Are /out/ activities a good way to make friends? As a guy, I'm always looking for shit to do, particularly shit to do with other guys and /out/ activities seem like my golden ticket to some fast friends. Does this work?
>>2879924This is going to sound so cliche but it's the truth, I finally recognized and accepted that I was a narcissist and talked to a therapist. I had ruined a 6 year relationship and NEETed out for 5 years because of it, I finally had enough. I never took pills or anything, just met with him every two weeks and helped put my life back together. Therapy really does work you just have to be 100% completely and totally honest which is VERY hard for a narcissist.
Do you have any friends yet OP? Please respond
>>2880023>Therapy really does workNah you are just dumb. The only reason to do business with them at all is that they have a state granted racket on pills and the best thing they offer is overcharging to teach you about stoicism. As someone who reads philosophy I know there is just nothing they could reveal to me. The whole concept of psychology is a part of the general sickness of the modern world stemming out of the acceptance of positivism/critical rationalism, it’s not a science it’s postmodern nihilism. Mental illnesses are normative statements, these are meaningless value judgements that don’t pertain to anything objective. I’m not saying that you got nothing out of it and that it doesn’t belong, you can go to psychologists or psychics or whoever you want, but what I’m about to tell you is important alt right knowledge.
>>2880800Science isn’t separate from philosophy, what we call science is an accepted philosophy of science, what we are calling science today was born out of a group of (mostly jewish) philosophers called the Vienna circle, also called the positivists. The ultimate goal of this positivist philosophy was to rescue empiricism in order to make normative statements scientific and thus justify them as legally binding. This is where science went all wrong and became the priesthood of modernity, and that was the goal! To do this they said there are only 2 kinds of meaningful statements, analytic statements which are just basic definitions (a bachelor is an unmarried man) and synthetic statements which means hypotheses (question>test>answer), the flaw in the argument is which kind of statement is it that there are only 2 statements, if analytic then the entire thing is tautological and meaningless if it’s synthetic then how did they test for it. What they have done essentially is cut logic out of arguments entirely to pave the way for a postmodern academic establishment, entire fields are now based entirely on this, it’s the entire basis of justifying anything the government does because it can justify anything, science is now essentially a popularity contest. The science that gets done is just the questions that get asked, truth is whatever gets funding, and the only way to justify anything is through a political process of peer reviewing. The scientists themselves are becoming dumber and more political in response to the environment, more and more often believing in their own ability to rule the world through technocracy and thus all pushing and pining for even more control much to the glee of those who are actually going to end up with the more control.
>>2880801And it’s honestly just so sick, these people don’t help you, they help you become something not you, they sell you on the idea that you shouldn’t be you. It’s like AI, if I ask AI how to kill myself it will just tell me not to kill myself, that’s not for me that’s for something else, if I want to jump off a bridge then telling me how is what’s helping me. Descriptive social theory is useless in the first place, putting people into boxes doesn’t help ceteris paribus after the presumably coming prescription, and a logic based prescriptive social theory doesn’t need to account for personal details at all.
Anyone who's been and knows what's most worthwhile out of the abundance of options? I'd like to see a bit of everything - cloud forests, rainforests, mountains, waterfalls, interesting geology/landscapes. I'm not fat but I am a little out of shape so probably nothing on the really extreme side. Also, TĂ©rraba-Sierpe or Tortuguero for a boat tour?
>>2880758monte verde is pretty nice. its got the cloud forest and some other things. stay at the hostel owned by germans if you go there.you should have went to guatemala, its way better and cheaper
Looking for a 3 to 4 day hut to hut hike in europe around the end of october, any recommendations? most huts are closed soon.been to the high tatra on the polish site last year, which was amazing. looking to the get into the mountains again, or anything with an amazing view.
>hut to hutNorway is known for providing such tourism. Some places can be booked on spot and some has to be booked beforehand as the route goes on. Then there's the emergency and publicly open huts Norwegian government has placed all around the place. I've not been to the swiss mountains, but Norway was the most beautiful place I've ever seen.
This is a thread for enjoying a pipe while doing outdoor activities. If you ask why this belongs on /out/, you've never spent an evening by the campfire with a pipe or bowl or blunt or spliff or joint or vape or edible or dab or oil, silently enjoying the nature around you, and you're missing out.>How to get startedPurchase a cheap glass pipe (or a simple wooden chillum) and a bag of some quality outdoor or mid-grade weed from a dispensaryor your usual guy. You will need a lighter and something to clear the bowl witha paperclip works well if you don't have a proper tool.Pack the bowl loosely, enough for airflow but enough to stay lit. Light the corner of the bowl and inhale slow. Smokeslower than you think you need to, the flower tastes best when it isn't cherried too hot. Tamp and corner or re-light as needed. If you stillhave trouble, try different methods on YouTube until you find one that works for you. Or you can just roll it or whatever.>smoking ganja will get you arrestedOriginally, the government found that weed smokers, following a careful study of the statistics (at a time when hemp was a cash crop) were just peaceful people who wanted to grow their own medicine, enjoy jazz and engage in mild tomfoolery. Nowadays, weed is being legalized against while the average American thrashes in the thralls of poverty. Put two and two together. Marijuana is just another good thing that was under attack by the government.>muh tobaccoNot the time or place (unless you're European.) Start your own thread.Comment too long.

We can argue about which country has the best mountains but deep down in our hearts we all know it's Switzerland and people only say otherwise cause it's expensive as fuck
>>2879518Annapurna has 6400m relief in 16km. Rakaposhi has 6000m in 12km. Dhaulagiri has 5800m in 10km
>>2879534also, random ass Langtang Lirung, a mountain no one had ever heard of before it was in the news for being the source of the crazy mudslide in Nepal a couple weeks ago, has over 5600m vertical relief in 16km.

>>2880648Netherlands, reckon that if you say team Mongolia is getting it done that maybe I should just go for it because no way its more windy here than over there
>>2880657The very first world championship, which appears to be a sham, was won by the Netherlands. Your country has had no other wins since, but Belgium seems to have performed fairly well over the years.I was in the Netherlands for vacation once, it's not that windy. People fish in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Florida and other states. Now, that's windy. There's tons of coastal saltwater fly fishing across the world. A beginner's first concern is the wind, but if you put your mind to it, the wind is not that hard to work around.
>>2880661I just looked it up. Being fairly generous, the Netherlands has a wind speed of 12.5 mph. My state, has a wind speed of 18 mph. Montana is 21 mph. Florida is pretty slow at 14.5. It's probably highly variable, but maybe, those FL anglers are pussies.Anyway, Montana is a major fly fishing destination, as is Colorado (20 mph), and the winds are much higher there. I know the Dutch are all twinks, but you'll be able to manage.

>>2880322>"Bubbas could be here" he thought, "I've never been in this valley before. There could be bubbas anywhere." The cool wind felt good against his bare chest. "I HATE bubbas" he thought. The cricket noise reverberated his entire hammock, making it pulsate even as the $9 tea circulated through his powerful thick veins and washed away his (merited) fear of larpers after dark. "With a hammock, you can sleep anywhere you want" he said to himself, out loud.

I know there's a backpacking general already but this is gonna be quite long so might as well create my own threadI'm going on a 10-15 day backpacking trip and the closest thing I've done to this was backpacking and camping for 1 day in the mountains In this case it's gonna be mostly even terrain with easy to walk pathsMy idea is to wild camp most nights and prepare my own food, although I might stop once or twice in a camping park to wash my clothes and take a shower and charge my electronics My loadout from left to right, top to bottom (rougly):Clothes>hiking pants that turn into shorts>swimming shorts>regular sports shorts>1 longsleeve t-shirtComment too long.

>>2878443No compass?
No rain gear? Good luck, lol. The only spare clothing you should have is for sleeping. You’re going to smell like shit anyway. Clean hiking clothes are pointless, but clean sleep clothes are a nice luxury. Don’t bring canned food if you’re bothering with pack weight. Leave the bowl and eat from the pot. The whole things sound ill conceived. Is it 10 days or 15 days? Surely you’ll come to a town, which gives a chance to wash clothes. You already said you’re going to by food during the hike. They don’t have coin-operated laundry? That’s generally what everyone does on a long hike. 10-15 days is a really long distance. Is this an established trail?>>2878871This is pretty much right, except for the pillow. A stuff sack filled with clothes isn’t the same.
>>2880534>except for the pillow. A stuff sack filled with clothes isn’t the same.it's so bizarre to me that some people give so much importance to a fucking pillow. the first time i slept out i just made a roll out of my trousers or jacket or whatever and of course it's worse than a pillow but you get used to it, whatever. it's not worth it to carry around a fucking pillow
it's so bizarre to me that some people give so much importance to a fucking trousers or jacket or whatever pillow. just take a fucking pillow.

>>2877806Some girl got eaten by bears while on the phone with her parents so they heard the whole thing. She commented how they were eating her. That's gotta be horrifying seeing chunks of your body removed and then chewed up and swallowed. You're not getting that chunk back even with the best surgeons on the planet.

Does anyone else use public charcoal BBQs at local parks? I often see immigrant and ethnic families using them but never white people. I like using them once or twice a summer, it's a fun outdoor dinner. Does your city or town even have outdoor BBQ? ITT: we discuss how to best utilize public charcoal BBQs.
I have used those a couple times, including at campgrounds, including with family. Never particularly close to urban areas (those are full of Mexicans for some reason). If the grate is particularly nasty and uncleanable we would just wrap each strip of it in foil and it would be fine
Because white people hate theirs family

Ive seen used needles and human shit inside them before so I think I will pass. Maybe back when there was a baseline expectation of human decency sure but not today.

Wondered if they were still put in most public parks like when I was a kid. I imagine the browns use them very irresponsibly leading to most being removed.

>>2869708Georgia (US), 6/10. The Appalachians are better than not having mountains at all but everything else is garbage, even the beaches suck since the water is all muddy and gross.
>>2869744I came back to this thread, not sure if I posted, to find that I posted first. Still happy with how underrated my state is.A local fishibg YouTuber is slightly famous. People in the comments are asking him where he's fishing and telling him he's blessed to have such good fishing. Meanwhile, most locals who have something to say are usually bitching about the quality of the fishing here. It's hilarious.

I'm planning a trip to Moab. Going to take 128 from Cisco.Also planning on visiting CanyonlandsI've been there before, this time I'm bringing my bike and will do some riding /n/ is useless what are some bike trails I can do in the areas that aren't too difficult.What are some nice places to hike.I was up at Negro Bill before.Looking for other recommendations
>>2879290Go to upheaval dome in canyon lands then hike the short trail till it ends then go down the trail that says NOT A TRAIL then hike the rim of the dome off trail by yourself and have a super comfy desert time taking breaks in the shade of boulders. Pic related
>>2879418thanks for the suggestions. I have been to Hidden Valley twice before. Parriott Mesa looks great, I'll try that.I have no plans going back to Archies. Been there plenty, and its always busy af.>>2879425Thanks for that. anymore canyonland suggestions?still looking for bike trails recommendations
>>2879290There are cool canyons around Lake Mead and Lake Powell that are exposed right now because the reservoirs are at their lowest level since the dams were built.Might be your only chance to see them if the lakes refill.Or they'll never be full again and we'll get our canyons back....
The needles area of Canyonlands is excellent, a little far from Moab There's actually some good off-trail stuff in Arches. Like Lost Spring Canyon or going beyond the trail in the Devil's Garden area, though the Devil's Garden loop trail is a great trail itself. Fiery Furnace, Tower Arch, Herdina Park, Ring Arch are all nice and not crowded.Fisher Towers is coolPritchett Arch and that whole area.Wish I could give you bike trails, been meaning to get into mountain biking myself
>>2879696>Lake PowellI liked it there way more than I thought I would.
