/out/ give me recs on leather boots that are stylish yet practical. Preferably waterproof. Been thinking about the danner light 2, but I wanna know whats out there.
Can anyone identify these?
Crockett & Jones' Grizedale.
>>2856830Irish Setter Elk Trackers are cool. Irish Setter also has other boots worth looking at.
>>2856830Limmer
>>2856830i've never tried them, but maybe the jim greens barefoot ones
can anyone recommend a good pair of hiking boots? price doesn't really matter, i'm just trying to get a decent pair of boots that won't bust a hole straight through the bottom like my last pair (my walking posture is fine)
>>2843610im going on a hike that involves a few knee deep river crossings. my buddy said i should wear 6" hiking boots for this onemy only pair with ankle support are water proof. i filled my bathtub to see how they act submerged in water and they do fill up and hold waterim leaving for this in 2 days and i dont have time or money to buy new shoes.should i sacrifice ankle support and go with my ultralights or fuck it and do it in crocs?
>>2843610Get you a pair of these bad boys. March your ass to Greece and back.
>>2863762socks and sandals before they were cool.
I've been /out/ for a few winters and don't see the point in boots. If it's raining and you're walking around in mud and you don't have any great way to dry your socks then a pair of sandals makes more sense to me. Worked for the Romans. Am I a total moron?
>>2857647>as I find limmer's too narrowThey have wide sizes and as of very recently EE (double wide)
Any Nurserymen out there? Developing a parcel of land full of tall grass right now with some chickens, taking it slow by scissor cutting grass for the coop, about 12 chickens that come and go, and got about 20 plants going, looking for some clean pots and more creative ideas to put out and improve safety. I'm unsure if this would be the location they get sold, or selling to other nurseries. The option of investing in plants is also confusing. Foraging for starts and coming up from seeds both for ornamental and food, hydroponics eventually, but for as excited I am to exit the greater society entirely to be able to spend more time at it drinking and having fun in the evening kinda relies on a lot of factors I have no controls for. I mostly draw ideas in sketchbooks, but also looking for a good way to record the info into a nursery system on a computer or something. I like the idea of a little bluetooth camera and thermal thermal printer to print cute labels and such but it's easy to get a headache trying to get it all down. We also get pretty bad hurricanes here, which is the best motivator, and demotivator. Cultural influence in art sstudies and making too are other factors. I grew up in a nursery, returning to it now that I'm better housed is a relief but it's not without challenges. Looking for a truck and dirtbike too.
Our area lacks trails for moto and lacks bikes for sale, surprisingly. I had a DR650 as a backup vehicle when I lived overseas but money dried up there like the land, can't wait to get another bikehttps://youtu.be/o_ZJy-J96oE?si=XqDFv1KSS3hai5EF
They also stopped selling fireworks for chinese new year here, so looking at making my own againhttps://youtu.be/8OAMcWZER3Y?si=lHLsdGEcCXCiWWN1
hoping to eventually getting my own climbing gear also, I had a job in tree service for like 4 months and it was pretty intense, I had a lot of fun though, tree nets would be a lot of fun, but we didn't create any on the job. I had some cool videos on my old phone, but google never sent me any of my account's data when I closed it for a fresh phone. Fuck googlehttps://www.treestuff.com/
Any recommendations to get into bushcrafting? I have no clue as to how to do basic things like start a fire or set up a tent or a hammock. I really want to be good at it by the end of this year. I have only been going on short hikes, but I want to feel confident in my survival skills. Books, videos, ect. Would be highly appreciated.
>>2863794Your fears are correct. The elite planned it at their summit in 2022 or 2023 I think just like they did covid back in 2017. They announced that it's happening via the telephone towers shorting out during the Superbowl halftime show this year just like they showed LA before the fires. Not sure when it's happening but there's been possible hints at June, September, or October. Good luck, anon. I should also add that you can use charcoal to filter water. Look that up as well. God bless
Best advice I've picked up on besides all the basics is to get an very good sleeping bag.
>>2863781That is the most uncomfortable "bed" I've ever seen lmao. If you're gonna pack the rest of that shit out, at least pack hammock or a bed roll. Plus logs like that with your body heat will likely attract insects to you at night
>>2863988Take meds.
>>2863988you retards claim shit like this every year. pashol nahui
Tips and advice for camping in the rain. Less thought about equipment etc.
>>2863923hammock tent; backpack rain cover
>>2863923>Tips and advice for camping in the raindon't. simple as
>>2864366>it will rain so fucking hard your goretex will just give up, your boots will squelch at every stepI kinda like being in this part
>>2863923Not very experienced but :It's very different if your gear can be dried by a few hours of sun the day after, or if you go for multiple days of continuous rain and moisture.Have some kind of tarp to protect the tent and create some dry spot where you can stay, organize stuff, change clothes... A big leafy branch can do half of this, but big branches falling on you can be an issue in some places.Make sure you have dry clothes to wear inside your tent.Sometimes a simple garbage bag doubling your backpack inside (and even more cheap bags) is better than a raincover.Suspend what you can where you can to at least drain water.Dry your feet and try not to stay in moist shoes for days.
Don't get wet
What's the best way to NOT die from co2 poisoning while tenting?
>>2863582CO2 poisoning isn't a thing, you actually need sufficient CO2 levels to maintain the bohr effect. Worst you'll get is a headache. For CO poisoning, don't run an exhaust into your tent.
>>2863496>>2863582Don't camp in a hottent. It's literally that easy
>>2864639>>2864576Copy that, loud and clear.Although, what else shouldn't I do while camping?
>>2864120Yes, why do you ask?( not op )
>>2864416>spaceOh shit.Do you have stairs in your house?
Where are my /divers/ at?
I've heard that drowning is one of the most peaceful ways to die. My question is how the hell can anyone know that? Anyone who has drowned is... dead.
>>2861024*painfulNot peaceful lol
>>2861024You have the testimony from drowned people who have been resuscitated. Once you get past the parts they've experienced, it's "just" passing out from lack of oxygen and your body shutting down, bit by bit.People describe a desperate struggle to breathe remaining air and holding their breath until they are no longer able, and then an intensely burning sensation as the lungs fill with water. After a while of that, they pass out.>>2860749If you're doing such deep dives, you're either very interested in what you're doing and don't mind it, or you're getting sufficiently compensated for it to not mind it.For your regular compressed-air diver, it's no big concern, you just don't dive that deep. That's for the technical divers with their mixed gasses.
>>2860221>I associate line signals with the old bell divers back in the day.if it works it works.
So this is where you people went. I was sad when the /xs/ thread died shortly before my first dive.Question, is there any chance that an average town dive club will teach you to dive without a BC? It seems a real neat skill to have, but I get the impression that most consider it "unsafe".
Its astonishing when you think about it. An entire continent (safe for Russia and scandinavia) has been completely stripped of its nature
>>2864571only goy fumes
>>2862711Correct, but because they don't have an /out/ culture. Bongs don't travel anywhere to go /out/, which is really weird considering their history.
>>2862702Corsicas nice, live there and can do nature every day, tho continuum is kind of a mid metric imo, afaik a simple foot path ruins it even tho it doesn’t affect or endanger flora or faunaalso it’s not rlly isolated cause dickhead tourists keep making the trails lose all sense of immersion so I mostly hike in the off season when there’s a bit of snow However some valleys are a lot more lonely than others, find the right one and u can have some great isolation and forage provided nobody makes a tourism campaign for it
>>2862711You can go innawoods in replanted forests. Some have even been replanted to have a natural variety just for recreation. There is just less wilderness by the american definition; land that retains its primeval character and is untrammeled by man.
Sverige number ett
The fact that they exist and that I have never seen them makes me incredibly sad.
I've wandered the redwoods which I guess are old growth on account of many of them predate Julius Caesar. But sadly from New England everything was clear cut by about 1840. Couple small patches of old growth out in the Berkshires apparently
>>2864739There’s a few old growth spots left on the edges of the Everglades that ive been in. It is a primeval feeling to stand next to thousand year old cypress trees. In North Carolina I think theres a 2000+ year old cypress stand too
>>2864739I've been to some in deep northern California. It was awesome to see them in person. Pictures didn't capture the density of vegetation correctly.
yeahlilley cornett woods in eastern ky is nice, but you gotta call them and reserve a day to hike in advance and its a guided hikei still havent asked what happens if you have to poop I assume they make you bring a poop bag and pack it out :( but they do have bathrooms at the visitors center for before and after the hike
>>286473910 minute walk and I got one right here in Sweden.
Will be going to central asia next winter and wondering what the best jacket is for temps that can get down to -30C. Does anyone have an opinion or should I just fork it out for a north face jacket that looks like shit. Will be tracking animals so can't be too bright or flashy. Any recs?
>>2863732Wind and rain, yeah.
>>2863591I like Columbia. You'll definitely want to get a hardshell coat due to the wind.
>>2863819No. Please look at wiggy's website. I cannot understate this. if you're willing to compromise on size and weight, wiggys synthetic beats western mountaineering down every time. They make jackets too. Buying their antarctic bag toppled 6 years of knowledge I thought I had. Synthetic is legit the answer.
>>2863591Duluth Trading has nice jacket and parka called Insulator. Made with a special insulation that keeps you very warm. I tried mine this winter snow shoveling and it really felt nice in the cold.
>>2863591Get a layering system rather than one big jacket.>waterproof breathable shell, with pit zips if you are going to be active>thick insulation layer>insulating vest>thin insulating layer
Do you work a job that allows you to experience the outdoors? Do you plan to? Tell us about it. I was a beekeeper for many years. It was such an enjoyable job. No clipping or marking if the queen wanted to leave she could and the hives were always in beautiful spots. Sometimes the rain would destroy the tracks to get in and so we had to hike several hours to the hives. What I really enjoyed was realising the bees remembered me and working on them wearing no protection. Such beautiful little creatures it gave me a strong appreciation towards them.
>>2863835There are plenty of outdoor jobs that do have the kind of position you're looking for. However, there are very few positions like that because there are few positions for outdoor jobs in general. A lot of times these jobs don't even get posted because the guy in charge of hiring either knows someone or knows people who know someone who can and will do the job. A lot of people think they can hack it in an /out/ job only to quit in the first year because they can't handle actually working outside. Employers know this and so they obviously favor hiring someone they personally know can handle it, or has the experience/recommendations to prove they can.A degree in some outdoors related field (i.e. wildlife, forestry, etc.) will almost always have you do some kind of field work to get through the program. That's why a lot of the time the degree itself doesn't matter as much, just the fact that it's outdoors related is good enough(I know a ton of guys in forestry who went to school for wildlife.) But if you don't have any way to show that you're committed to working hard, you'll have a hard time finding a job through online postings and the like unless you find a company that just really needs to hire someone asap to fill a position.
>>2860934me with my leg up
>>2860933go to north dakota and work in the oil fields.
>>2864623Fuuuuck that
>>2864632A fake email job is more your speed then.
Does anyone here own one? As of 2023 the company has stopped producing them and people are still waiting for refunds. I am working on a project to create a waterlily 2.0, a better version to sell as a consumer product at the best possible price. If you own one or have used one and can point out flaws or issues you had with it please go ahead.
>>2863851>>2863855>>2863856It says it is 15-25w but testing in the field says it is more like 2-5w. That is irrelevant to me because I am building a 2.0 from the ground up starting with the prop.Let me just say again I do not need this. I carry power banks and a big blue I just think it is a very unique product and one that a non greedy person like me could improve, and for some people it will be better than a solar setup like the big blue. It's really not that serious guys but I wouldnt be surprised if someone here had one despite the sales stopping in 2023.
>>2863866just build it already it's literally a waterproof DC motor wired to a rectifier and then a buck converter. What are you waiting for ?
>>2863855>70Wno fucking chance, maybe if you routed an entire waterfall through it>>2863866>more like 2-5wthis is more like it, i almost believe this >I am building a 2.0 from the ground upits impossible, dont even bother trying. this is like those old scams about a self filling water bottle. technically it works but is comically impracticalsolar is better than this shit, lighter and fits nicely on the top of your pack
>>2863865>watches video>that's good enough
>>2863841Why people are getting tricked with the same scam schemes over and over again? The 99,99% of cool sounding thingamajigs are actually impractical and exist only to drain money from retards.Such a small turbine will produce minuscule and finding suitable place to use it will be tricky at best and impossible at worst. You'll be standing knee-deep in water for hours and waiting for your Ifag phone to slowly charge?
Can I convert this little can into an alcohol stove/ heater?It has a gasketed screw in lid, that is the biggest advantage. I don't know how I would cut and fill it. I assume a WIC is a good idea on this thing so maybe just an out safe oil lamp. For 1.50 it's basically a free experiment. Thoughts?
>>2863236also, know that some alcohols burn invisible flame in the sun.check flame is absolutely out and recipient cool before refillng.check safety issues on alcohol stoves!!!
>>2860143google for fancy feast alcohol stove or cat food can alcohol stove, it's the simplest setup you can have and is dead easy to make. I've made one, and a windscreen from two cut open soda cans + paperclips. It burns denatured rubbing/fuel alcohol which you can literally buy exactly anywhere in the world for cleaning/disinfecting purposes, and while it's not fast, it's enough. Also in case some absolute n00b is reading this: no, you do not burn whiskey/wine/vodka in these stoves (someone on /out/ argued alcohol stoves were bad because alcohol iss expensive - turns out he thought you literally burn vodka in these)
>>2860172Look up the spiguyver stove.
Made a fancy feast stove.
Works well, need to get all the plastic lining out of the tomato paste can.

George Floyd was a man with a unique talent. He was a tour guide, but not of the usual kind. His tours were of the inside of his ass, and he had a long list of eager participants - small children. You see, George suffered from severe hemorrhoids, which caused him immense discomfort and itchiness. He needed someone to help him relieve the pain, and who better than small, curious children with their small, nimble fingers?He would invite them into his home, promising them an adventure they wouldn't forget. Once inside, he would bend over and ask them to explore the "cave" he had discovered in his ass. Of course, it wasn't a real cave, but the inside of his rectum. The children, unaware of the truth, would eagerly climb inside, their tiny hands exploring the "stalactites" and "stalagmites" that George had pointed out. Little did they know that these were actually his enlarged hemorrhoids.As they explored, George would stutter and shudder, his body reacting to the sensations. He couldn't help but make rhymes about his ballsack, his aids, and his tourettes. Despite the awkwardness of the situation, the children seemed to enjoy themselves, giggling and squealing as they discovered new "formations" inside George's ass.For George, this was more than just a way to relieve his pain. It was an opportunity to bring joy to the lives of these young ones. He knew that his ass wasn't a real cave, but he was determined to make their experience unforgettable. And as for himself, he was determined to leave each tour with a less itchy asshole.As the years went by, George's tours became more popular among the local children. They would come back time and again, eager for another adventure in his "cave." Some even brought their friends along, creating a small community of young explorers. And while some parents may have been concerned about their children's safety or sanity, George remained undeterred. He knew that he was providing a service, however unconventional it may be.
>>2863051I saw a jeet playing curry music on his phone, then when I got to a scenic overlook, I heard him with ANOTHER jeet. That was really scary
Hello. Newfag here. I work outside in railway maintenance and I need a new pair of sunglasses. Are eagle eyes worth buying or just a gimmick? Any other suggestions?
>>2864519No. Just get a pair of pit vipers.
I have Leupold sunglasses and I can't recommend them enough.They look good, they're durable, they're impact rated as safety glasses, but above all they are comfortable. I can wear them 16 hours a day no problem.
>>2864537>she only works 16 hours a daylol i bet those glasses match your purse>>2864519op you want a pair of pit vipers, we all wear them 32 hours straight every day on the rig
