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?

...ytterjakken og en sekk. --> Du går og blir svett men temperaturen stabiliserer seg inni jakken din --> Du stopper i 5 minutter og drikker vann før du så går videre --> Nå stopper du i over 10 minutter, så du går i sekken din og klær mer på deg. Du regner ut i hodet ditt om du bør gå med ekstra lag eller ikke. Svaret er så å si alltid nei utenom vinteren --> du fortsetter mot toppen, og det blir mer guffent så du har buff, votter og glidelåsene til å justere på temperaturen uten å måtte stoppe. Du vet at det er kaldere på toppen så du klær på deg før du ankommer.

Turgåing I norden I et nøtteskal mer eller mindre. Andre ting å tenke på:
- Du vil se at mangen faktisk går med normale t-skjorter og sånt under jakken. Det går som regel fint på korte turer, men bare husk alle tekstiler som kan suge til seg vann/svette vil gjøre dette under jakken din, og da blir du fort tung og/eller kan få gnagsår. Når man går med genser og sånt, så er det ofte når man vet at man ikke kommer til å svette så mye (skitur f.eks). Noe som dermed er ekstremt viktig på >1 dag turer er å kunne tørke klærne.

- Bukser er litt enklere pga man svetter ikke så mye på beina. Som regel har du noe som er helt vanntett, eller så har du noe lett og som puster på tørre dager. Husk at bakken kan også være våt og at du må kunne sitte uten å bli våt. Veldig greit å ha noe strikk eller til og med feste slik at buksen holder godt rundt støvlene. En lett og 100 % vanntet bukse = garantert hull over tid, så bare anta at du må lappe/lime. Du får kjøpt en tube på dagligevarebutikker faktisk.

- Bruk buff istedenfor lue. Luer er mye mye varmene, men kan klø litt i min erfaring. Buff er ekstremt billig (folk gir de vekk basically) og kan brukes på hals, trynet, pannebånd, men best av alt. du kan bruke den som en lue som slipper litt luft i toppen. Ser teit ut, men er mega nice.

>>2846048
...
- Mitt eget triks som ikke er veldig godt testet. For hansker, bruk tovet pulsvarmere (mamma tovet mine <3) som dekker helt opp til starten av fingrene/knotene i det minste. Deretter bruker du veldig store hansker du kan tre utenpå. Basically layer for hendene. Du får finne ut selv om vanntette hansker er best elsn. Men basically med denne kombinasjonene så er du mega varm og du kan justere og bruke mobil og er billig. Eneste som er litt usikkert er hvor bra det er for regn. Etter min erfaring dekker jakken det meste av pulsvarmeren.

Glemte å si at en stretcy buff er veldig greit mtp holde øreplugger i øret. På militær utsalg selges det ofte sekker og sånt med MOLLE system, altså et modulært system hvor du enkelt kan legge ting på/av sekken din. Ha en dedikert tursekk med ting du trenger liggende i slik at det ikke blir mentalt slitsomt å gå tur og rydde osv: Plastikkposer, regntrekk, klærne du trenger, fyrstikker/fyrstål, penn/blyant, regntrekk. Er ikke så ekspert på sekk, men greit å vite at du får kjøpt en slags gummipose som er vanntett som varer og som er enkel å åpne. De har ofte en plastspenne/snaplock og du bare ruller de og så er vanntette, kanskje til og med fungerer som en flotation device. Veldig kjekke å ha fordi man pakker ofte nødklær eller annet i disse i sekken (litt mer avansert).

yellowjackets have gotten me a couple of times mowing the lawn. A paper wasp got me when I didn't realize it had a nest under my railing. Now every spring I go hunting around my property killing any wasp or yellowjacket I find.

Anyone ever build an underground shelter, bunker, cabin? Out in the woods? Tell me about it.

I dug up a 60ft by 4 and a half feet pit to build a bunker/tunnel in and would love ideas.

To give you fair warning, plastic septic tanks (when empty) have a tendency to float out of the ground when the water table comes up. Mottled grey and orange/red/yellow colors in the soil are signs of a high seasonal water table. If it is a uniform brown/red/orangey color then odds are its well drained. Well drained soils often have sand and gravel under them, usually following waterways. Godspeed mole man

The closest I've come to it is digging dirt out from this giant boulder that'd cracked in half and building it up with sticks as a little fort
I think my dream home would be a kickass underground bunker with nothing visible on the surface but a little tool shed. Bonus points for if the door inside the shed was hidden.
Could eventually build a little cabin and larp as if that's my home when in actuality I am the luxury tunnel man

Due to local laws it's not a good idea to carry a locking blade. I've seen examples of slipjoint knives that don't lock but at the same time won't close in on somebody's hand when in use.

Picrel is a Böker Plus Worldwide, the mechanism can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mxk-U0zjGvU

Do you have any info on which type to look at? Or post yours.

planned obsolence cheap shit. it gets the job done but its not a knife you keep for life. its actually part of their reputation, you want a good knife and use it for everything except as a knife and break or blunt it in a week buy mora. think typical tradie.
for an outdoors knife buy anything else.

That was my reason, it was a cheap entry level knife. I have the normal Garberg that I got for free and after using it for a while I can say it's not worth the money and I highly this new fucking thing is either.

You certainly shouldn't go to Norway if you want cheap. The one thing that is nice about Norway in terms of money is trust and rights to roam so TECHNICALLY, you could just walk in and sleep in public cabins, but for most people that is too hardcore and with no guarantee there actually being space in one.

Another avenue is, and this is what I say to anyone with wanting to come here. Hands down the best way experience Norway and it's nature is boating along the coast, stopping at places and then hike up the mountains along the coast. But obviously too time consuming for normies and requires one to be a marineEnjoyer.

For various other reasons it make the country inaccessible as a quick go to tourist type place. Like >>2844382 points out though, things are getting more crowded and IN GENERAL people are getting pissy. Most tourists to norawy just comes in big tourists boats and shit in the fjords. The way we live our modern lives are unironically getting in the way.

having said that, normies chase vistas because they are unable to appreciate nature. Grab a book or two about vegetation and geology and you can unironically get a lot more out of your trips. There has to be cheaper places though. Bottom half of Europe is basically all mountains

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.

At any moment you can tell a raving whore that you’re not taking your Saab station wagon up a logging road in the snow in the dark.

I think it’s more likely that it was Kim who didn’t want to admit missing a turn and backtrack.
>>
>>2845997
But anon, it was basically a Subaru. I feel like one issue is they didn't refill the tank just before getting on the back roads.
