Discuss nudism. Is it something you grew up with, or found later in life? Have you ever considered giving it a try?I wanted to try making a thread on a blue board in the hopes that there could be a serious discussion instead of the degenerate gooning the occasional nudism thread devoles into on /b/.
>>2859211Yesterday I went butt ass naked paddleboarding in the middle of Lake Washington since it was actually not shitty weather. God I can't wait to do it more.
>>2859463>Shrill prudishness is usually overcompensationnot really. youre like a homosexual who thinks anyone who finds homosexuality disgusting is secretely gay. i dont want to see disgusting naked people. nudist beach arent natural in any way because being naked is not natural for human beings. we have clothed our bodies for hundreds of thousands of years because its important to protect ourselves from exposure. nudist are in fact degenerates who want to see naked people and thats it. its a stupid ideology and an even stupider practice.
I've done it a couple times in Maui and it was based. Bodysurfing in nice water and nice weather nude really is a joy, much more than the sum of it's parts. The social vibe was great there too, I went alone and only casually chatted with people but there is some kind of energy in the air. >>2863568 described it pretty well.I'd love to do it more, but I live in NorCal and that water is too cold for my soft ass so I don't see much point. Probably a less cool crowd too, Maui had a range of older schlubs like me and hot young people that was pretty neat
>>2865792>but I live in NorCali swim nude on the central bc coast year round even when its snowing, harden up mofo. itll put more hair on yer chest
>>2865783The way I see it, seeing those people in swimsuits is bad enough that seeing them without the swimsuit hardly makes a difference.
Look at this gay virgin tree. I'm LOLing so hard right now thinking about fags who look out their window and see this gay shit out there.LOL
Lmaoooo gay aah looking bitch tree
You're right but you shouldn't say it.
>>2864965Lol that gay tree should be in my ass
>>2864965Good thing that isn't a tree.
Why do people stare at you like you're crazy when you say you camp during winter? I didn't think propane tanks implied freezing to death.If I am camping during winter I must be a demented insane killer with a vendetta against society (wanted to have fun making a warm tent)
>>2862939100% this. Winter camping is for puds.
>>2862703>propane tanksdoesn't require>making a warm tentdoesn't require

>>2862703Winter camping is pretty nice. Normies can't fathom being comfy in 10° with 5 inches of snow coming down on you.
>>2862703>camp during winteryou're crazy
I HATE my job, I HATE normies. How tf can I just drop out of society and get neetbux. I have a small farm and a bitch to leach off of but I have no idea how to welfare meme. Do I just tell the doctor im autistic and get disability?!?!?!? I make to much for food stamps and I just don't pay my medical bills for any ER visit ext... I have a kid on the way so im scared to drop out without knowing what to do.... BTW I don't give a fuck what anyone around me thinks.... help... living out my RV BTW the pic is from my homestead back in January

>>2865067how many acres of land do you need to sustainably harvest trees for firewood and how much do you make doing that if you dont mind me asking? Im going to buy remote land in ontario canada and i need to make money somehow but i dont want to chop down all the trees. Ik you can just use deadwood but how much of that can you get each year?
>>2865587I dont actually own any land I just operate on family owned land and my neighbours land, so its hard for me to say.You are right in that you want to cut as few live trees on your land as possible, so its important to have other sources.You need to make friends with people in the area and ask them if you can take deadwood or live trees off their land.Most people see this as a win-win.The amount of deadwood you get depends alot upon this I would say.>how much do you make doing that if you dont mind me asking?I have no idea kek, but my expenses are insanely low and as long as I have 10k saved I feel comfortable.That being said I have recently relocated and Im expanding the total amount of firewood I sell yearly, which Im excited for.Up until very recently there have been alot of trial and error to get to where I am.
What do you take with you (if any) when out?
In a ziplock bag ive got guaze, tape, super glue, razor, needle and thread, drugs (antihistamines, nsaids, antibiotic/numbing cream, topical steroid, a couple doses of an opioid in case of needing to hike out on a broken bone or something, caffeine pills)Whole thing weighs less than a pound.
>>2865535You should take two each at leastWhat if you get a squib

>>2865531i have a good full first aid kit in my car. if im away from my car its just gauze/antiseptic/antihistamine/tape plus a few bandaids.
>>2865550That sucks for you then. >>2865551Maybe it's just me but I feel like Claritin doesn't do anything by the time you notice that you need it. It only seems to work when you take it proactively. Anyone else?
Post your favorite /out/ patches. Also, how do you display any patches you don't have on a pack? I tried doing a board but I think I need more patches because it feels empty.
>>2849984HILL PEOPLE GEAR RAHHHH
>>2861818For me, it genuinely reminds me of a story my Mom would tell of her brother needing to shit so bad he launched the turd out of his ass off a cliff into the river and they saw there was a guy fishing down there who turned his head to watch the turd floating down stream then up in pure disgust at her brother's ass blasting yet another turd off into the water like a cannon. It makes me laugh and remember my Mom fondly, as she's gone now.
Is there an /out/ themed pipe smoking patch?
I keep my patches on the underside of the flap so they aren’t visible unless I open the pack. I usually take my walks in the early AM in a town of less than 3,000 people. Even just walking my dog durring the day with this backpack has people stopping me on the street to ask if I’m homeless. If I had horny patches out in the open I would expect to get stopped by the cops. I used stick on Velcro to affix the patches
I have about 20k and get neet bucks every month. I've been planning this for decades, I have my 'doctor' over the internet, and get my medications mailed to me anywhere in the world.I'm looking at plots of lands out west, some of them are 20 acres for only 2-3k, some even have a fresh water river running through it.I've also considered a truck + RV and just driving and living at campspots. That is also in consideration in the life I'd want to live.I've been researching for quite awhile and picking up tidbits of crucial information, like how much propery taxes are, does the land flood, is it on a slope, is it accessible etc. etc.Some of these plots even have gravel roads and utilities run to the property line, ready for setup.This all seems so easy that my mind is saying that there's some gotcha that I haven't considered.So what gives /out/, why shouldn't I just buy a small plot of land with fresh river water and park a trailer or build a small cabin and live there.>regulationsComment too long.

>>2865345>out west terrible idea, lots of rules for zoning/permits/inspections. if you ignore them they will fine the fuck out of you and maybe let you bring it up to code or they could just order it demolished.>camper/rvbe careful, those cheap lots have restrictions on living in you rv on it.>well/riveryou dont even have enough to drill a well out west, permit can be thousands of dollars and you are usually restricted from getting water from the river because you only own the land, not the water.what you are describing is an ozarks/appalachia type thing. but lots and lots of counties there are changing the rules to prohibit what you describe.

>>2865345Here's where I'm at anon. 45M, hated my fucking job, hated all of the bullshit. I learned how to play poker along the way. I'm worth about 50/hr in my game. I saved money for a few years, built a 50k bankroll and also cached money in retirement. Now this part will be lol, but I have about 100k there now. Point being, I had a little more safety net.Depending on age, you may not need it. If you're young enough to try it, fail, recover, fuck it. You only get once my man. Ive failed twice to this point. Picked myself up eventually, now about 4 months into it this time and starting to spread my wingsReddit spacing the important part. I could never have the plans and life I have today in this moment without taking the leap. People will tell you you're a loser, you're stupid. Fuck em. Its your life and you answer to YOU, not them. Happy for questions. God luck and good speed anon!
>>2865345>does the land floodthis is often the reason land is disturbingly cheap
>>2865430There are online clinics, it's all through 'telehealth'. Once you get hooked into a place, you can just request telehealth appointments and you can be anywhere in the world. Then you tell them to send your scripts to whichever pharmacy is nearest. I get medicare though since I'm disabled.>>2865436I'm schizoaffective, major depressive(auditory hallucinations, delusions, can't really think), have a gimp foot(literally has no feeling, reminds me of Mr. Deeds when he pokes it with a fire poker kek)I honestly prefer to talk to everyone over the internet or text as it's incredibly easy for me to put my thoughts down in text, but speaking them out loud I start getting word salad and can't find the words I want to use. It really hinders me, so I've essentially become a hermit.>>2865441Thanks, I'll check out those areas too.>>2865446They love killing dogs>>2865470Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
This guy made a bicycle trailer, the walls are made out of pink panther foam (xps), so apparently light weight. I was thinking of building one, but in the shape of a box (with a slide out inner box for my legs). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPxb5oyxzGs&list=LL&index=37

I'm saving all my money to buy land for a turtle and tortoise farm. I'll practice syntropic agriculture to improve the land and keep food costs down.

Built a mobile duck coop.we keep 3 varieties: Muscovy, Harlequin & Silver Appleyards. we have 2 stationary/permanent duck coops. we built this one for the muscovys since they will wander off if allowed too much freedom & time. let's them forage and touch grass without destroying the ground. we just move it every other day. the Apples & Harleys just get let out to free range, they stay reliably close to home roost.
did you know that the colorado river doesn't reach the ocean anymore, and hasn't consistently since the 60sit all gets sucked up for irrigation and municipal water on arizona and mexicothere's just a dry delta in baja california where it once wasa similar fate has actually befallen a bunch of rivers in the southwest

There is no solution to this predicament that does not involve a precipitous drop in the global human population and the subsequent halting of the global techno-industrial enterprise. Deportation is a red herring.
>>2863098The solution would be to not use land for ag. Leave the land open and undeveloped as national wildlife preserves.

>>2844795TT gear is da bomb. i have a 10+ years old assault pack or battle pack or whatever the fuck was called, not a thread is sticking out, only the elastic straps are weaker because of latex. 22l, around 90 euros back in the day, half of my third world shithole salary but who cares now. from TT i also have 2 phone holders, a couple of modular pouches/organizers, first aid pouch, maybe something else i'm forgetting, and a polar fleece (most recent gift from my gf) everything is fucking awesome
>>2855925In terms of real (4-5 days) use, how did it perform?
>>2865503Have only done one hike with it so far (~12 days in Sarek national park), but I have to say it's the most comfortable pack I've used. The padding on the shoulder straps and belt doesn't look like much, but work well. Not too hard or too squishy. It sits solid on the back and adjustment straps sit in place (you don't need a sternum strap), something I've had problem with on a Norröna pack where the straps were too smooth and would glide through the buckles and I'd have to readjust and tightening it fairly frequently. The pack is rather heavy, although compensated with its comfort anf ability to carry weights, so I'm thinking of just strapping a large drypack on and an old top lid next time.
Since it's Spring here in the Northern Hemisphere and Summer is right around the corner, can we start a thread about woodsmanship in the tropics or more northerly environments in the height of Summer?What adjustments do you make?God damn those bugs. I got bitten by another tick last Summer. I'm particularly interested in bug netting. The type that goes over your boonie hat, and the type that you hang over your sleep setup.Make sure you treat it with chemicals. It's supposed to hang over your skin. Protip: don't do what I did last year and let it remain in contact with your skin. It won't protect you that way, and anyway, my skin reacted very badly to whatever chemicals it was permeated with.Where I live we usually get a lot of rain in the Summer. I'm thinking of dropping some cash on a good hammock to stay out of the puddles. I figure I should be pretty comfy with that, sealed up in mesh, with a tarp over me, getting cool breeze above and below.The big downside of hammock camping is that you need to bring your own camp stool or sit down in the mud. You need some extra gear in the Summer.The Morning and evenings are still cold, especially if you're in the rainforest. Even if it's not raining, you will be wet all the time from sweat and humidity.As always, your clothes need to be quick-drying wicking materials. You'll still need a fleece for the night, and impermeable rain gear as well.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

Last thread >>2844498This is a thread for enjoying a pipe while doing outdoor activities. If you ask why this belongs on /out/, you've never spentan evening by the campfire with a pipe silently enjoying the nature around you, and you're missing out.>how to get startedPurchase a corn cob pipe (or a cheap briar pipe) and a pouch of Half and Half or Captain Black tobacco from a smoke shopor online. You will need a lighter or match, and something to tamp it with--a large nail works well if you don't have a pipe tool.Fill the pipe with tobacco, pack it down halfway, top it off, pack it down to 3/4, top it off again, pack gently and enjoy. Smokeslower than you think you need to, the tobacco tastes best when it is burning cool. Tamp and re-light as needed. If you stillhave trouble, try different methods on YouTube until you find one that works for you.>smoking a pipe will give you cancerOriginally the Surgeon General found that pipe and cigar smokers, following a careful study of the statistics (at a time whenmost adults smoked, so they had a good sample size), had insignificant death rate increases. Nowadays, tobacco is beinglegislated against while hard drugs are being legalized. Put two and two together. Tobacco is just another good thing under attack by the government.Comment too long.

>>2867359https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Myfh7IsgR_4I typically use a Chinese knock off S.T. Dupont lighter because I like the ping sound, but I've been considering getting a Zippo for its wind proof qualities, because sometimes it can be really windy and annoying to try to get a light. I don't like the idea of the harsher flame though, but I guess that's the compromise for being able to light your pipe outside while it's windy.
>>2867368That’s pretty sweet. Yeah I really don’t understand the thought process of dropping like $500+ on a fucking LIGHTER, even if it is a reputable name brand.While I am generally a purist (e.g. there is a knockoff Seiko watch I’ve been eyeing recently, but honestly I’d be fine dropping $200 on a real one that probably keeps better time) in this case I think a $40 knockoff lighter is fine. That’s still a good price, and this seems to still be of good quality.Though yeah as the other anon said, dealing with evaporation and cotton/rayon and flint can be a hassle when sometimes all you need is a simple bic.
>>2867372A real S.T. Dupont is actually >$1,500, not $500 as stated in the video.
>>2867373Who pays for something like this besides fools with new money who like flashing their gold to the world. I don’t understand the thought process. Then again, I don’t really get why people pay $1,000 for penzance or castillo pipes, either. Waste of money for name recognition and little to no merit
>>2867375Yeah, I don't know the answer to that. I think that even if I could blow $1,700 on this without thinking about it, I wouldn't. The $40 knock off is good enough for me.
