Post proofs that mountains + water = the best landscape

>>2842531Only angle where I could get that "emerald green" color on the lake.
Michigan's mountains are the best.

>Forest in the morningBlissful >Forest in the afternoonCool and safe refuge>Forest at sunsetEtherial and calming>Forest in the black of nightAbsolute terror and fear How do I overcome this? Exposure therapy? I was so tired by the second night of my hike it didn't matter as much but every little sound freaks me the fuck out. I'm a 28 year old 200 pound man, why does it scare me?
>>2842449could it have been this playing faintly in the distance? I hear that happens sometimes.https://youtu.be/c2CpvK-ryPs?si=WdYJQPByaDOv42fu
I dunno anon. I'm probably both weaker and less used to the outdoors than you but I go out walking full nights all the time. It's comfy. Peaceful, beautiful. What spooks me is actually mainly social anxiety because I think I hear someone turning over in their tent or something and I don't want to deal with the awkwardness of being found accidentally creeping up on them in the woods while they're sleeping (again). I think part of what makes me able to chill out is the knowledge that I am much scarier than anything else out there. That one comes with experience though lol, just go out a bunch and you'll soon have scared critters and hikers halfway to death to know and feel that -you- are the thing that goes bump in the dark, literally.

So they've banned all hiking and camping entirely until october 15th in my province in canada to prevent "forest fires" do I just get a stool and a rope what do I even do anymore.
>>2833401Just go anyway. Get in trouble.
>>2835053Abrahamics are evil. Napoleon and a pan european horde stomped them out of Europe. We have lost ground everyday since ww2 started. Fuck off to the middle east if you desire Abrahamic shit you fucking swarthoid nigger. Keep your neck clean cause we are finishing you mutts off this time.
>>2841552I can't imagine it'll go over well with the natives, that's for sure.

Just 2 more weeks, leafs!
what strange / spooky stuff have you seen?once when i was in the desert, there was a telephone pole, on it looked exactly like a 10ft tall bird of prey, just eyeing me downit was about a good 5min of walking, which felt like forever, just to see that it was a transformer that looked weird, none of the other poles had it eithersounds dumb, but it really did look exactly like a gigantic human sized hawk, and the "head" even seemed to follow you too, really interesting illusion, since it also hit all the primal parts of the brain that gone "you're about to be fucking eaten by a bird!!!!!!"a year or two later, when i was gonna take a picture, it was gone, which adds a strange air to "it was right there, i tell you!">inb4 go to /x/ for this shiti want real stories, not >i smelled the rotten shit fart gas, and my best friend was turned into a skinwalker, and then i pulled out that gun from videogame and blasted it, dude trust me
I'm planning a gravel tour to multiple castle ruins next summer. They exist all over where I live, mostly from the 12th to the 15th century, some are as old as from the 10th century, though.Anyway, it will be a multi-day tour and I plan to camp out next to the ruins over night. If I do return, I may have some ghost stories to tell, lol.
So many good stories, thanks OP. I went camping during a fishing trip with my dad and some of his work buddies at the Mogollon Rim, AZ. We got woken up in the middle of the night by some super loud ape screaming "oooo ah oooo". My Dad and I were the first out of our tents with flashlights looking around. I had the better flashlight and instinctually searched the trees in the pine forest, nothing on the ground making sound. This guy that looks like the comedian Charls Carroll furiously ripped open his tent and yelled "WHO THE F IS THERE?!". Everyone was up at that point, looking around. The Europeans were last to wake due to drinking too much, but they had guns drawn. It was bizarre, never heard a sound like that. I went camping many years before in China and have heard wild monkeys, but this sounded definitely like a large ape. We shrugged it off that it was a cougar. Later on, I found out that there is a legend of the "Mogollon Rim Monster". I still haven't been back to camp over night there.

I had a woman screaming out for help. Twice very loud and then a scream after that only silence. I didn’t know from where it came. I was finishing my blunt when it happened. There is guilt of not trying to help. Maybe I hallucinated it but I doubt that it was not close by. I’m sure other people closer would have heard it idk. Other spooky thing was one time at my uncles work I went outside to get something. After crouching I looked up seeing a pitbull im SCREWED I turned my head and when I looked back nothing was there. I didn’t hear a sound so I’m sure its nothing real. This was when I was 13 years before trying drugs so cant blame any intoxication.
Driving in northern Wisconsin, summer of 2022, bike path along the side of the highway - not really remote but was a good 10 miles from any town. Ragged bleeding 20something woman limping down the bike path. I drove another 30 seconds questioning what I saw before turning around to look for her. Didn't see her again. My passenger saw the same thing. Called the cops who said they'd send someone to look around. Never heard of it again
General thread for freediving and/or spearfishing, since I don't see one mentioning either.My personal questions:I've been thinking about taking a certification course so I can learn to do these things correctly and safely. I'm probably happy just doing the diving, but spearfishing seems like an easy and practical extension. I only casually skindive and rod-and-reel fish at the moment. Does anyone have experience taking such a course?I know I'll need my own gear early on, but each instructor I can find seems to have their own equipment shops, so I imagine they wouldn't be impartial about the quality of other gear on the market. I live on the Pacific coast of the US, so I see that a 7 mm open cell wetsuit is strongly recommended. What good/bad features should I look out for on wetsuits and other equipment? For non-competitive diving, carbon fiber fins are almost certainly not worth the price, right?

How do we solve the tourist issues in western national parks?
>>2826965Die trash. My family has been in my state for 5 generations.
>>2826640Close the border, deport migrants, depopulate the country until it returns to 1970s demographics.This doesn't just solve "tourist issues", it solves every problem in every Western nation - lowers crime, improves public services, lowers taxes, improves education, improves the economy, empties the prisons, improves traffic, saves the environment, lowers emissions, lowers unemployment, increases wages, reduces rapes, improves water supply. Even things like litter or graffiti will go down.We don't have to live like this.
>>2842919>depopulate the country until it returns to 1970s demographics>remove 125 million peoplefuck off retard.
>>2826640>Grand Tetonkék
>ban whores and tiktok brain losers from posting pics of national parks on instagram>especially selfies where they make the heart shape with their hands>everyone stops going
The wet and cold season is upon us, friends.Do you enjoy hiking in that weather? I certainly do. Although many alpine trails become more dangerous and daylight is scarce, I think that this time of the year makes mother nature even more captivating.Umbrella, fleece and warm boots ready?
>>2842372Look beautiful, where is it?
>>2842373inland PNW.
>>2842415Gotchu. Really nice place, Anon.
>>2842026There are good reasons that any serious /out/ activities don't involve an umbrella. I'll leave you to figure it out because it shouldn't need explaining.If you are going for a short stroll near a town with mostly good weather and just a light rain shower then it can be good.
>>2842946It's good in light rain and low wind anywhere, that's my point. You're much more cool and comfortable wearing your fleece and shorts instead of rain gear, all thanks to an umbrella. Of course you can't use it in really bad weather, but most of the times you can.Don't try to tell me otherwise, I've been doing this long enough and I tell you it's a game changer. You should try it.
Hello friends.I'm looking for areas of big contrasts. Things like tall islands; or towns at the base of steep, tall mountains; or places with big holes like giant cenotes.I'll take anything you've got. I'm trying to put together a list of places that feel surreal to be in.
The region of Nice, french riviera. You have the coastline with Mediterranean climate. Drive 1h30 up north to reach the southern alps with plenty water and larches

I checked some vacation options. There's Annapurna circuit for $1650, Manaslu circuit for $2000, Kala Patthar and Everest base camp trek for $2000 or $2500 if you add Ilsand Peak. There are also some more trekking peaks in Himalayas. And of course every one of these treks is advertised as the most beautiful.So which one is the best option? And how difficult are those treks compared to European mountains? Are trekking 6 thousanders anything like Elbrus? Do Thorong La or Larkya La require significant experience in Alps or Caucasus?
>>2842664Nepali here, Mardi Himal has the best views.
>>2842664>There's Annapurna circuit for $1650Shit bro, I did 3 weeks in Annapurna for <$500 back in the day.Are guides mandatory now or something?

im curious, what are /out/ thoughts on raw dairy
>>2842311I've worked as a farmhand on a dairy farm. The milk. Its full of feces. They strain most of it out and pasturize the rest into harmlessness. Those cow tits are filthy and the only reason they don't get infected is because we dip them in iodine solution.
>>2842311I drank dairy with zero problems my entire life until I tried drinking raw dairy in my 30s. Not even a lot, something like 2 gallons a week. It gave me a legit dairy allergy and now dairy of any kind gives me instant acne.
>>2842311/ck/
>>2842995Well why were you pooping in the milk
>>2842311If you dry and powder it for a long, multi day backpacking trip, would you lose most of the nutrient value? >>2843000Fuck off.
how do you guys keep track of which National Parks you've been to?
>>2842842You forgot the best park for snorkeling.And you forgot Kings Canyon.
>>2842866I didn't forget anything. I am listing the ones I have been to.
>>2841981Using this thing called my memory.Do you... not remember where you've been?
>>2842840And its not even a trump design, think how much more gold could be added

Am I retarded for wanting this?
>>2842797>It looks unusable, like you'd bash your knuckles swinging itBut its got a finger loop so you can break your pinky at the same time.
>>2842799>Is OP retarded? You be the judge.
Id buy it if it has good ergos. Looks like it would be uncomfortable for any kind of workm
>>2842953I don't think its for 'work' I think it's for 'self defense'.
>>2842789Gimme a full size folding axe and then we talk, that folding knife tier sized faux axe is laughable
>driving the backroads in New England at about 1am about a year ago>see a big animal in the road>its almost as long as the entire road>its crossing the road and stops over at the treeline>i pass by it and look out my window, window is down>it looks like a wolf/fox, all silver, with bright blue eyes>eyes are slanted and angled>i get a feeling that the animal is really intelligent>its just slightly annoyed that im driving through, but no bad feelings or good feelings either>i continue on my merry way with my midnight cruisewtf was this thing? there arent any wolves or coyotes where i live. the thing looked like an 8 foot long, 3 foot tall, silver wolf-fox hybrid. long snout, big ears, long bushy tail, and very slanted eyes. i cant find anything online that resembles this thing. it looked like a cross between a silver maned wolf (doesnt exist) and a kitsune (also doesnt exist)
>>2842865IDK not reading all that but there's already a larp thread for all this shit.
>>2842865>>its almost as long as the entire road2 possibilities : you invented this completely or you saw a coyote at a strange angle.I guess a third is that you dreamed this while on 'shrooms.
>>2842865Great photo lighting for 1am
Is /out/ brave enough to pick up a wild snake?
>>2841757Dude we're not talking about rattlesnake roundups or harpooning dolphins here.Next youll say catch&release fishing is bad.
>>2835476The only rattlers around me are the Mississauga ones, which are federally protected. I leave them alone. They're small enough their bite is rarely dangerous or adults, but they've got it hard enough without me bothering them.
>>2835476Rednecks will boast about doing this, but its dumb as fuck.
>>2835695Another fucking "brave" idiot..
>>2839407Damn, i used to have one of these.. thanks for the memories.
i fucking love the natural beauty of mother earth. what do?

>>2838882ty anon this is a good post. wholesome.
>>2838879Lmaaaao faaaag. Cant believe you fell for the tranny propaganda. Nice /out/ pic though.
>>2838879>cheat on my shitty gf with a troon and get syphilisEwwwwwwwwwww. I'm glad you turned it around bro, because this story was gross.Mother nature is incredible and beautiful. Imagine how bad your life could have been otherwise. I mean, you literally wanted to kys. We need to get people out of cities and away from mainstream media.Keep going /out/ bro, nature heals all wounds, but especially the mental ones.
