Crossbows arent archery edition.So we havent really had one of these threads in the fast handful of years. Post bow builds, your plans for hunting this upcoming season, your target species, your arrow build, etc.
My shoulder was injured for almost half a year, and my bow needs to be restrung; I'm so far out of practice I think I should sit this deer season out. The weather has been too hot up until just a few days ago anyways.
>>2880707you went full retard, you never go full retard.my bow is the opposite of everything you said, running arrows that sit past the riser, got a slider, and using mechanical broadheads.meat is in my freezer. idk bro.
hope everyone season is goinng wellexcept for this guy >>2880707
>>2874206its bow season right now wherebi live. i didnt go this year because the deer always runs away after i shoot it. do i need to get better arrows or something? they are just the cheapest ones from walmart.
>>2874206Copepound bows aren't archery either. If you're trying to pull purity spiral bullshit use a stick and string. This is the kind of bullshit attitude that you think will push more hunters out of the woods so you can have better odds. But it only hurts the sport and erodes hunting rights.
Having a great night inAny JMT tips?
theres a mini JMT in tennessee that's (the part I was on) well maintained and less crowded
>>2881847Was it one that's 20 miles ?
>>2881849no I mean this onehttps://www.hikingproject.com/trail/7011657/john-muir-trail-big-south-fork-nrayou can hike through much of big south fork as a backpacking trail I don't think it's that highly regulated, but resupply won't be easy as its not really near anything
>>2881850>50 miles>need a resupplyHow fat are you?
How do you deal with normgrels who refuse to buy any proper gear to go on an actual hike after asking you to take them with you? I fucking hate these people, if you can't even bother with buying a decent pair of boots don't even ask.
>>2880981if you don’t have quality shoes and socks you will be suffering a lot. socks matter too because some are like sandpaper on long walks and have so ridiculously tight straps that it messes with blood flow
>>2880033Define proper gear?Gortex?Spandex?Nylon and polyester?Wool?Whats wrong with denim? Whats wrong with a pair of all leather loggers?People not knowing is why it ends up sucking. Not learning from the knowledge you gain with blisters or how to pack is why outdoors sucks for most.Is a guy in a hoodie jeans and an alice ruck a normie? What if he knows what hes doing?I think youre more concerned with retards than the normal person who knows theyre not gunna die on a 10 mile trail.In which case youre a retard and hate that others have fun.Ill wear blue jeans work boots and a huk fishing sunhoodie just to spite you next time and theres nothing you can do.Quit being a faggot and be more selective with the retards you spend your time with.
>>2881480>good mix of simple carbs and sugars like candy with complex carbsNo.
>>2881629everything except shoes and socks is optional do what you prefer but the ten miles back will be awful when bad footwear grinds your feet to such pain its hard to walk
>>2880033Don't worry, they won't ask again. Autistic retards make threads like these and then wonder why they're lonely. Kek

>>2881496Well they are a short term solution but for 99% of people her clean water is a short term problem too? They will always have a place because the tablets are sub 1g. You can use drops like Chlorine dioxide, iodine or bleach depending on the level of pollution you expect. And it's enough Florida and chlorine in the municipal water to make the frogs gay anyway. Btw You can deactivate it with vitamin c.
>>2881244is she ok?
do you have grease for your frying pan? dont want your food to stick
what about a uv-c light you could place in your water container? add a portable solar panel and you would be fine for a really long time
>>2881719uv light is not a good method, for it to work the water must be 100% transparent, any particle in the water will create a shadow where bacteria or other patogens will not be afected by the uv light.tabs are the most light and easy way
I have a job where I often talk to all types of people about the weather and one thing ive never understood is the natural inclination to associate a rainy cloudy day with bad feeling. I get not wanting to get soaked but to me theres this immediate blissful feeling when I breathe in the air from a rainy day. Im sure you could reference our evolutionary history, rain put out fires and tattered your home but it also made for a more bountiful crop, nowadays places that dont get enough rain suffer for it. I live for the rain and as an avid hiker im way more likely to want to tromp through the woods on a misty day or even rainy day.
Rain chads rise up
>>2881273i have this collegue that wont show up at the office if there is even the tiniest bit of clouds in the skyit is getting ridiculous at this point
>>2881358its good if you don’t need to be exposed to it. it sucks if you’re out on a bicycle for example. you also need extra gear to cope with it and might not have when the surprise rain comes. so many times they predict no rain only for it to rain like crazy
>>2881273I think it comes more from duration of the rainy weather. Day after day after day of cold ,wet weather does take a physcological toll. It one thing to bask in the refreshing storm of a nice long stratiform event for a day or 2 but month after month of rarely seeing the sun and constantly being wet doesnt seem that great...and maybe that general feeling has been extrapolated to rainy day=bad day syndrome. But I love bad weather so I dont count.
>>2881273Well the answer is in your own replies about how you are just sitting on your porch not even being exposed to it you larper
Share tips and trips to maximize gait efficiency
>>2880637Using trekking poles all day with serious elevation gain/loss does make my gripping muscles in my hand sore
>>2880652Yeah it was the trekking poles, definitely. Not your free handjobs at the trailhead.

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/.
>>2861208fuck, same.I've done it alone, it was nice, sunning your balls feels great, it feels right.but remember your sunscreen, anons.>but ancient people didnt use sunscreenthey also didn't have a destroyed ozone layer and didn't walk around naked all the time.
I'm visiting Austria and took an excursion to the FKK area of the Danube river. The weather was perfect, the water was warm. I only saw four other bathers, two women and two men. And lots of textile bikers passing through of course. On one hand I thought more people would be enjoying the weather, but at least it's not being overrun by textiles.
Was part of the volk movement in the 2000's. Nudism is a belief which is fairly synonymous with the Germanic health culture movement, medicinal nudity. Voyeurism is cultural, a kind of sexual giving. It's very similar to naiveté. Neither are naturalistic. There's the absence of taboo, which is naturalistic, not a specific belief, causal nudity. Where if clothes are going to be a problem you just take them of. If they're not needed you don't put them on. Synonymous with this is wearing clothing which isn't socially acceptable but is again, just incidentally fit for purpose. There's strangely little cross over. Everyone who isn't into vourism regards them as perverts, everyone who isn't into therapeutic nudism regards them as religeous lunatics, everyone who isn't into utilitarianism just sees them at flashers.The volk just don't care much about clothing generally, we don't care what we wear, when we wear it, who isn't clothed, it's purely incidental. When we gather someone will be in their pygamas, someone will have no shit, one guy will be in work clothes, a child will be naked and an old person will be in a suit. Or any combination thereof. We just don't care. As such most people don't regard us as nudists, you're at likely to see me in my dressing gown, work uniform as in a state of undress.
>>2881210Jesus fucking Christ anon.Pushups and pullups, bitte.>Bathing nude in the DanubeFucking awesome though.
>>2859817was your friend a man?pretty gay if it was
>>2877099I bought one out of curiosity anyways. Was $30, 50Wh, charged 20% in about 2.5hrs in partly cloudy condition. Honestly not bad at all, this thing could power all my electronics while bike touring. My phone has a 17Wh capacity for reference, so this set-up could charge it to full in like 4-5hrs.
>>2880148What the product called and how much does it weigh? Is it easy to attach to a rucksack?I've been considering one but the massive price ranges make me nervous about both overspending and buying something not fit for purpose. Surely some at the low end dont perform, but a lot at the high end of the price range must be overpriced as fuck right? Not sure what parameters to look for and how to judge build quality.>>2880233That looks bulky as fuck. I'm guessing its for in a camper van or something?
>>2880148they work well if you keep them in mind. like the position of the sun during the lunch break. put them out at every opportunity, like at dawn before breakfast to get those 30 min im a fan and like the "infinite power aspect" but the break even point from one large power bank vs charger and powerbank is kida large but i like to read on my phone and listen to podcasts book so i need lots of power.
>>2880148complete meme, get a legit power bank from anker, i have the anker prime 26k, that just came out 26k mah and charges in an hour
>>2880148I've used 30w ones in long expeditions (10+ days) and they're a godsend, also they tend to charge slightly better at altitude due to more solar radiation.That being said if you're doing a trip under 5 days just bring an extra Anker battery and you're good.Also I charge battery bricks with them, I don't charge the phone bc of the varying charging voltage (I'm afraid it may fuck up my phone).
>>2880364yeah the catch with the cheap banks is that the charge speed is slow. usually capped 2a no matter what cable or charger used so it takes over two hours to charge a 10k bank but it only costs 20 even in tax hell eu
I'll be travelling around picrel early next year, especially PR. I've never been to the area and have never done any serious hiking in the tropics, so I'd like to make the most of it. I fear they'll suck since they seem to be beach resort destinations first and foremost. Is there potential for 2 to 3 day hikes? Any tips on what do to or avoid? I speak Spanish so that's not an issue. I also scuba dive so any recommendations there are welcome too.Let's turn this into a tropical /out/ general. Share your stories hiking in Indonesia, Guatemala, the Amazon and beyond.
>>2881612try not to get raped and/or lose your head.
>take out friend on a night hike up to this mountain >he says he heard someone calling his name on the way down>cant stop talking about it>plan on going on my own tonight to see what it was>we also found a cross near the summitwas it some demon/cryptic trying to lure him out the trail or what?
>>2875501It's probably one of his family members that need help. You should go off-trail, split up, and investigate

The last time I saw a beaver
>>2881039"...plowed into this beaver on accident..."Nope. Don't care if it's hanging right over the plate, I'm going to take the high road and not swing at that one.
>>2881039I plowed your mom's beaver.Now it burns when I pee.
Is there any animal more based than the humble beaver? Obsessively industrious, architect, engineering and carpenter all in one, monogamous and family oriented, build the neighbourhood so others can thrive and have a place to live. They slap and they're cute too.
>>2881125Thank you bober very cool
>>2881036beavers are cool. cool find anon
Post your tents, your tentfu, which will be your next acquisition, etcI currently have my first tent (a typical cheap igloo camping tent, Hummer Igloo 3+) and 2 ultra light 3 season tents (forclaz mt900 tarp tent for 1 and 2 persons). I have used the latter in high mountain before, during summer (which is still cold), but usually in this part of Los Andes the wind is too strong for my tent. So I'm planning to buy a 4 season tent more appropriate for high-altitude and strong winds.Around here most people use the mountaineering line of Doite, pic related would be the one appropriate for my needs. The thing is that here tents are particularly expensive (that one costs +400usd), and I think I might be able to buy something half that price in the US, but I'm not familiar with US brands. Which one would you recommend?
>>2880982You can rent cabins for waaay cheaper.also:>portablelmao.
>>2881116Sadly it's hard to go missing when you never go more than 100m from your tent.
>>2876061sorry for insanely late response, I was banned.Vaude is good quality, and this tent was the lighest yet sturdiest and most comfortable I could find. might only try out a hubba hubba for better ventilation and even a bit more space.
>>2875891NtaWhy so early? I haven't signed up yet but I was thinking mid march.
>>2881179Wdym "signing up"?
Do you go out with anyone? If so, where did you meet? I see videos pop up on Youtube, Instagram, etc. of people hanging out with friends, hiking with friends, camping with friends, hunting with friends, riding ATVs and dirt bikes with friends, etc. and I want that for myself but I don't have any friends. How do I make /out/ friends? How do I meet a /out/ girl?
>>2881322I wanna do allamuchy state park, do you have a throwaway email? I don't live in jersey, but I visit sometimesI don't care if you bring a baby as long as it doesn't make noise the whole time
>>2880999you are very lucky to have friends that will get together for long distance trips like that even if far apart, my friends might get together i I come back to the hometown for a beer, thats it. fucking sad and we were thick as thieves til about age 25

How feasible is spending weeks/months walkthing through countries and hitchhiking in Europe? How should one prepare? I think i'm pretty fit and i enjoy long distance walks. Started juggling this idea of a solo adventure in my mind. I guess it's not very dangerous if you just don't walk through wildressness and have any survival insticts? What would actually be the worst part and what are some challenges i'd face that i might've not thought about?
I've been to the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Most of Europe is usually only a stone's throw away from civilization and because there is so little nature left there are very strict with what you can and can't do there. So depending on how much you care about risk or the rules avoiding the wilderness is a requirement since in places like Germany you can't just go out and camp anywhere you'd like, you can kind of get away with it if you're found bivoacking, and forget about starting a fire in Switzerland. Now the alpine areas (Southern Germany, Switzerland and Austria) do offer some remote places but it's not like North America and you need to know what you're doing in the mountains. Norway is totally different you can camp anywhere you want
>>2878908>How feasible is spending weeks/months walkthing through countries and hitchhiking in Europe?perfectly feasible>wildernesslmao>what are some challenges i'd face that i might've not thought about?Your biggest issue will be nosy busybody old people calling the police on you. And depending on the country the police will probably be very happy to bother you and make your life difficult. This is assuming you're trying to camp outside. If you're staying in hotels or hostels in cities then you'll have a different kind of problem, which I hope I don't have to explain.
>>2881161Just how out of touch are you? Do you think it's still the early 2000s?
>>2881191This. Anybody that sees you outside in nature after sun set will call the police on you. They will just think you are drinking and will become an issue.
Only risk is the 40 million rapefugees. I just spent a few months in Germany and they are in every city, town and village. They dont go hiking though so stay in the woods as much as possible
