I love this brand. I proudly display it on my clothes, water bottle, camping gear, shoes. Everything I have is Ozark Trail. I think the Walmart family sells it at a loss to get people into camping.
>>2878592It’s a phrase that when applied to people (such as yourself) means the most simplistic, most shallow, the thing that appeals to the most people. Banal with minimal standards.The lowest standard anyone will accept.
>>2874248I have that pack too. Not bad and I think it was half off price so it was basically free.
>>2878613You dont know about goodwill?
>>2878627Ah yes all that goodwill brand outdoor gear.At least at goodwill you could potentially find a decent deal on something that belonged to a dead guy. At Walmart you’re going to find a deal but it’s on some cheap toxic Chinese plastic trash.
>>2874151I bought their 25L backpack for $10 and I'm genuinely impressed. I have it strapped down to my bike and use it like a trunk to hold everything I need to repair and maintain my bike. It's holding like 20lb of stuff easy. I'm genuinely thinking about getting another one just for every day use.

I'm in NOLA from Idaho visiting my 3 year old daughter. I thought we might check out bogue chitto park. Any recommendations for outdoors shit? I heard Louisiana was one of the most underrated /out/ states.
Op here i made it to fountainbleu park in covington this place is peak out. I will post pics

>>2877613A lot more gators saw you.
When it comes to accessing wilderness, do you get a permit in areas that require it? Are you a permit cuck?
>>2872957Didn't leafs even require a permit to set snares and only government sanctioned snares are permissible? Like no dispatcher, spring lock and all that?
>>2872764Though I am an Amerishart, I wander freely as I please without permits, dealing with rangers and landowners with a convincing impression of ignorance and a serial-filed gun
Ive talked to rangers several times on hikes and mainly have been asked where im planning on camping, if i have a bear cannister, etc. but i’ve only been asked to show my backcountry permit once. I’ve even considered photoshopping my past permit since it seems like they dont really check the actual document too thoroughly. I backpack mainly in the eastern sierras for reference.

it feels pretty fucking lame to pay 20$ for a couple of grams of permethrin emulsified in water.the chinese will sell me a big ass bag of technical grade permethrin for almost nothing, but going that route means i'll have to find some sort of emulsifier and surfactant, and probably some sort hydrocarbon solvent. people bitch about using 10% ag grade permethrin concentrates, because they stink like gas and leave an oily film on your gear. i'm blown away that i can't seem to find people making their own permethrin soak """from scratch""". it's always just diluting a concentrate.so i'm wondering what you do to treat your clothes to see whether or not i actually want to go down this rabbithole to "save" maybe 50$ a year on permethrin treatment.
>>2877648Ignore the retarded bot bubbas, I am interested in this too.
>>2877648btfod by tweezers
You can find the dilution rate for spray application of permethrin on clothing. It's normally in the pesticides area of most farm stores/homedepots.Just buy a small hand pump sprayer and a measuring cup and mix as much as you need for pennies.You can also find the right mixing dosage for spraying around your house/property to kill any ticks during the heavy periods. Just beware of its deadly affect on cats before it dries.
>>2877648Horse "fly sprays" are a lot cheaper than the camping crap and usually about the same %. You gotta find a farm or equestrian supply store though.

any recs for a hat with brim ideally somewhere between a bucket hat and a cowboy hatlooking for sun protection from all angles (not baseball cap), but can be put in a bag easily (so not leather/straw)
>>2872177>>2872184Tilley T3 is a great hat. On my second. First one lasted 10+ abusive years of almost daily use.
Mesh top hats are the best for high sweat. They're ultra breathable. I would only use a leather hat in the winter.
>>2875459No pooftas
>>2872465Can confirm; I also have a pith helmet.People WILL look at you funny, but it's genuinely a great hat for hot environments. The British weren't wearing these things in Africa and India just for memes.
I've got this one I bought recently in Ukraine because the sun was burning my head. It's a Fjall Raven. Has a chin strap and is comfy. Cost me about £50 though. Hiking gear is fucking expensive there.
Looking for /out/ book discussion and recs. I just started Sand County Almanac, and recently finished pic related. American books preferred, but everything welcome.
>>2872862I remember her. She claimed to be native. She's like 1/64th or something.i mapped her family tree out of curiosity. Anyway typical white person with native aspirations more or less. Don't know why it's such a big thing with boomers claiming native ancestry. I'm half Vietnamese and probably technically closer genetically since we both originate from hoabinhians
>>2878162Oh books though... I recommend an island to oneself and tales of an American hobo. Both can be found in pdf format somewheres

wife and I have very little experience /out/ing. Done some light mountain hiking once in new mexico and modest traveling in thailand but thats about it. We're gonna try some primitive camping at a nearby state park. Any tips? Our plan is to hike around the park during the day and find a good spot to build a camp, set up a lien-to and build a fire pit. Any other fun beginner primitive camping accomplishments we can try? I suck at fishing but I'm gonna try and catch-and-cook at the parks lake.

Strange how not a lot of talk about this on here.I would have expected way more pushback about this shit.https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/aug/14/bulldozers-big-bend-national-park-trumphttps://www.reddit.com/r/news/comments/1vp0p3y/devastating_bulldozers_plough_through_big_bend/
>>2877751Crossings dont happen in the big bend area. Theres a single crossing thats not even a bridge, you have to ferry or ride horses at low water. Mexican villagers from the little hamlet of Boquillas used to cross it to sell trinkets to tourists but that was it. No vehicle crossing. Then its 90 miles through broken low desert to the nearest towns of alpine or marathon. Nobody crosses there. It does not help any effort to curb immigration to build there and only detracts from the national park
>>2877756Gonna have to say that the people in that area probably have a pretty good handle on what goes down in that area. There's what, 10,000 people in that part of Texas? You think they doing know what's up there? It's totally possible to skip the wall there for now, then see if it's a problem later, then build it if it is.
>>2877760Preserved Nature is just as much a construct as the Nation State. I choose to protect both because I am capable of abstraction.
floating the Rio Grande through Big Bend is one of my dream outings. please don't make this impossible

>i'm full transitioningto sandals
>>2875167I would hike in ONLY boots before I would hike without boots.
Last year I hiked the Narrows in Zion with velcro sandals I got at Target on my feet. The water was cold as fuck but you get acclimated quickly. I would have much preferred wearing hiking shoes and wet socks though. I felt like I had no support and walking over all those rocks just beat up my feet.

im planning on doing lots of forest exploring and mapping by myself, and plan on collecting mushrooms and herbs to eat and make tea, or get high. what botany and herbalism books do you guys reccomend for balkan climate forests?
>>2877950Do everyone a favor and just eat every mushroom you find.
>>2877950I cant find anything good on Baltic stuff. Your best bet is to look up on Google; Northern European Wild Foraging books, bushcraft, etc or something similar. Try to find full color guides and books if you can.
>>2877957>[angry 3rd worlder sounds]kek
delusions of grandeur
books as physical objects made from paper probably fit the style or aesthetic you are aiming for with your plan quite well. Tho I would rather recommend an App called obs identify, you might not feel as smart as when you sit on a tree stumb reading a book but it just is way faster and usually much more precise then what you can achieve with a book. hf and be careful with mushrooms!
