what's your gaymen/entertainment setup when backpacking, /out/?
>>2716351Just get a Nintendo Switch. It's p much made for that. Lightweight and very portable. Picrelhttps://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/ww8dod/i_carried_my_switch_through_the_entire/
>>2716352The Switch is a godsend on winter camping trips when the nights are seemingly endless and I'm not able to get much sleep
>>2716351I throw rocks at trees and giggle when I hit one.
>>2716358lame,
>>2716351None. When you go into the woods, you don't have to bring the city with you.
>>2716351I have a retroid pocket 3. I never really use it though. I think a guitar or book would be better for camping.
>>2716352>Nintendo shills on /out/
>>2716351Kys faggot. Go back to /g/.
>>2716398There are few things in life that are greater than reading a book while basking in the sun in the woods with no one around and the gentle quiet of the forest life. Whittling is up there too.>currently rereading The Silmarillion >>2716405Nobody is shilling any product on 4chan's outdoor board. Get a grip.
>>2716409Okay shill
>>2716374> /v/ FTFY
>>2716409>currently rereading The SilmarillionBased. I'm currently enjoying Beren and Lúthien.
>>2716409books are quite cumbersome. I prefer to bring a kindle. you can pick one up on eBay for less than $60, holds more books than I could read in a lifetime, and the battery lasts a week or so between charges. for comics and manga though you gotta bring physical.
>>2716407> not allowed to use electronics while outside you must be very fun to hang out with anon
>>2716415I hate ereaders.
>>2716417why? most of the time youre reading is after setting up camp anyways, so the backlight is real handy. better than strapping a flashlight to your head in any case.
>>2716419I like physical books in my hands with smell and pages
>>2716351My wife printed some boardgame patterns on a couple of our bandana so we can play backgammon, chess or mancala using pebbles and seeds. Other than that we'll usually bring a pack of cards (or some specific card game), maybe a book.
Half the point of going outdoors is to get away from electronics and modernity. Is your brain so broken that you can't just "be bored" and enjoy the peace for a night?
>>2716492Do you ask this same question to normies who have to party in the outdoors? At least someone who plays handheld games for a few hours isn't disrupting the peace for others.
>>2716496I don't ask because I already know the answer. I hold them in contempt just the same though.
>>2716497You're picrel aren't you. >n-no you can't go outside like that!!!
I don't backpack, but I usually bring a laptop or two with me. This cute lil shit charges on USB just like a phone, 6+ hours on a charge with reasonable use, and it still does real computer things.
>>2716415>>2716419I'm on the physical book train too. It gives me a space to make sketches while I'm out, and also I stuff wildflowers between the pages to dry. I really deface my books, and usually leave them in a lending library when I'm done (I usually take the flowers out though). What are you reading right now?
>>2716409>WhittlingVery fun, but I never know what to make so i always just carve a dick and leave it somewhere.
>>2716352>>2716357the absolute state of zoomers in 2k24. you cant even sit with your thoughts through a sleepless night in winter and facing the void instead you need to fill every moment with flashy lights and pixels. its absolutely degenerate how little patience young people have these days. you cant sit still or sit quietly. and that means no personal soundtrack of ipod earpods listening to whatever flavour of the week pop schlock playlist from spotify
>>2716522I take my books into the sauna and sweat all over them and destroy the glue and covers.
On the contrary to what some people think, it is indeed possible to enjoy the outdoors and electronic entertainment at the same time. I bring a small radio, and also a power bank for my phone. Listening to coast to coast am out in the woods by a fire is peak comfy
/hamradio/ ?
>>2716511What is that?
>>2716351My thoughts...Maybe a walkman
>>2716351I sing the songs I remember and throw small rocks at bigger rocks
>>2716351i wanna build a durable but bulky laptop that connects to a small server on an internal rack under the keyboardit'd be too bulky to carry around casually but its something i want for carrying around on a UTV for doing stuff like land nav or radios with friends
>>2716613What the fuck did he mean by this, /g/?
>>2716615i mean i want to put one of these into something like the pic i posted, so i can remove and change shit in it instead of dealing with laptop parts
>>2716528> degenerate how is one forgoing the future for short term enjoyment by playing Pokemon emerald in the woods for an hour? or do you just use that word to describe things you don't personally enjoy?
>>2716416The whole point of going /out/ is to get away from all this electronic crap. If you take all the tech with you you still get all the electomagnetic signlas, radiofrequency energy, blue light effect, screen time etc etc.I'm not saying you can't take tech with you when you go /out. I'm saying that if you do, you are retarded.
>>2716351My cock or a 10/22.
>>2716511>track pad>instead of a clit mouseNo thanks
>>2716351Amazon KindlePhone+ 20k MAH powerbank+ Wireless earphonesI enjoy podcasts and audiobooks while /out/, and I don't see anything wrong with it.
>>2716351based miyoo mini mentioned
>>2717092Do you listen to podcasts while you hike?
>>2717231Yes. I try to keep it high brow, topics that inspire a sense of wonder or somebody who really knows their art/craft. But I don't hike, just walk for an hour or so and then set up a chill out zone under a nice low tree. Blankets like picrel add to the listening experience because they make it extra comfy, and they're versatile at little extra weight. But that's a ramble.
>>2717092same here, but without the headphones.I like it when it's fucking quiet for once.
>>2716526Based. I usually just do a spear.
>>2716351I bring a Switch and a speaker that's portable, but loud enough to blast KISS into the night until I'm too tired to keep my eyes open. Playing BotW next to a campfire in the middle of nowhere is peak comfy.
6 D6
im not really proud about it but for the last 8 or so years im constantly listening to internet radio or podcasts or some youtube video before i owned a smarthphone i would bring a book with me, first i listened to audiobooks but now my concentration has degenerated so that i cant even do that anymoreeven basic walking that i used to love have become just listening to something from my earpiece, i rarely use my binoculars because i dont hear the nature around mekids stay away from mobile phones and wireless earpieces they will ruin your life
>>2717231I listen to music if I am hiking for speed/ trail running. Especially in-city hikes. I really like 2pacs Me Against the World album for hiking because it isn't too high bpm or too slow and it is lyrics heavy.
>>2717397Joe Rogan is infinitely more interesting than the squawking of birds, you made the right move anon.
>>2717385here anon, take these. they'll help make you less of an insufferable twat.
>>2717451whoopsie, forgot img
>>271635130k mah solar/crank power bank 25k mah solar brick power bank 10k mah regular power bank pixel 5airpods pro miyoo mini plus kindle (2022) all three power banks usually get me 4 weeks or so of juice before I need to stop for a refill. playing Pokemon emerald, listening to podcasts and eating ramen during a rainstorm in my bivvy is peak /out/ and peak comfy. fuck anyone who says otherwise.
>>2717385MAYBE I SHOULD TURN AROUND>MAYBE I SHOULD STOPMAYBE I SHOULD TURN AROUND>SPEEDIN BACK TO MY BABY
>>2717451not him, and i dont really care about his music taste, but playing music on speakers around a campfire is top kinothe best is when you have a friend who knows how to play the guitar
>>2716351If i'm going out on my feet, the closest thing to electronic entertainment i'll have is my gps. I can dick around looking for trails, or play with the calculator, if im that bored. A couple pocket sized books like the SAS guide, or the bible, are nice too.If i'm car camping i'll bring my laptop to watch movies on, usually John Wayne. mostly useful just for when its getting too dark to do anything else. or as background noise. I'll bring some more books aswell, for plant identification, bushcraft, first aid etc.I do not feel any urge to play videagames when i am out for some reason.
>>2717529The only music is classic country western like lefty frizzell and hank thompson and ernest tubb
>>2717572why dont you use CDs or tapes instead of radios?
At most I'll have sudoku installed on my phone. Going /out/ is a dopamine detox for me
>>2716511what do you use this for ?I want this but I don't think I need this.
>>2717577No I mean, it's what everybody should be listening to if they are listening to anything while camping.
>>2717712It has a 6" 1366x768 screen. It costs $550-750. You can't actually type on it. It is running windows with a celeron and 732mhz ram. I would just buy a regular 15" thinkpad. I have a samsung fold 3 with a 7.6" 1440p OLED rather than a chink ips. If I just wanted a screen to have movies on a samsung 11" tablet is like $170 at costco. The thing is pointless.
>>2716351Book in a ziplock back. I once ruined a copy of The Glass Bead Game by getting it wet. Felt bad man. The ziplock back is mandatory for me now.
>>2717451>>2717452If someone is close enough to hear Simmons/Stanley, they're too close to me.>>2717572>>2717717Miss me with that hee-haw, cousin-pokin' cringe-ass bullshit.>>2717485GET UP, AND GET YOUR GRANDMA OUTTA HERE!
>>2716351bringing video games /out/ is like going to a buffet when you're fasting.
>>2716536kek, reading in the sauna actually seems like a good idea, I can't think of any practical way you could do it without ruining the book though.Maybe if you have the e-book you could print out a few chapters of wherever you're at on your current book?
>>2717999I just buy paperbacks so it doesn't matter.
>>2717994>power chord jusic
>>2716358i chaperoned a group of high school juniors on a 3 day overnight in Pisgahhighlight of a trip was standing at the top of a hill and throwing rocks at trees, this quickly escalated to throwing sticks at trees and exploding them into a million pieces, which escalated to throwing logs into trees, seeing how big we could gogoddamn that stupid shit was fun as fuck, taking kids out in the woods is so fun (no pedo)
>>2717721.>You can't actually type on it>celeron ram>732mhz>$550-750
>>2718166You can't type on it unless you are 4'3 and have smaller hands than a 9yo chinese factory worker. Ram has a clock speed. Celeron is intels dumpster silicon. You can get a decent real laptop for $750.
>>2717721i thought about getting one of these so i can do my anki flash cards even when i’m out innawoods and not lose my streakbut the price is way too much just, might as well just get a small surface pro or something
>>2718200Just get a dongle and use your phone.
>>2718203the issue is that it needs to run windows to run the addons properly
Is there any reason you wouldn't just use your phone? Just get an emulator and play whatever. Surely people aren't this fucking retarded, inb4 I am an itoddler, the answer is yes it seems
>>2718207playing on a screen feels horrendous, part of the experience is the tactile feedback of the buttons. they are literally designed to feel good when pressed
>>2718207The controller vs touch screen
>>2716496yeah, they're socializing with others, unlike you, you fucking failure of a human.>>2716581only acceptable answer holy shit
>>2716492Listening to music/podcasts while searching the skies for shooting stars is peak kino; as far as I'm concerned anyone who isn't shitting up a trail, taking onions-face selfies every 50 meters is ahead of the curve.>>2718044Country is so shit as a genre it has to have it's own channel and own awards because nobody with actual taste will take it seriously. Somehow, some way, it managed to be more of a meme than shit-hop.To be fair, at least you're listening to old school country by genuinely provincial hicks who were singing their truth, as opposed to whatever the fuck modern country is trying to be aside from LARP tracks pandering to what people who have never been on a horse think "country" life is really like, and/or full-on tunes to simp to.I legit don't know how anyone with self-respect can listen to that shit ever since Bo Burnham MOGGED the entire genre.
>>2718242>oh no, somebody wants to kill some time in the middle of the night by playing a game or twoEat my ass zoomer faggot. I've been going on camping and backpacking trips longer than you've been alive.
>>2718253You have a soft, flabby, city boy body. I wouldn't go touting that.
>>2718243>socializing with othersThat's what cities are for, you oversocialized nigger. Nature is for peace and quiet.
>>2718253>wahhh country artists aren't genuinemost mainsteam artist are poseurs regardless of genre. Almost every modern day popular metal band, rapper, or pop singer falls under that same category. I hate country as much as the next person, but I hate it because it sounds like shit. Not because some meme e-celebrity told me to.
>>2718253>>2718304I also agree country music is dead as a whole but I have a few exceptions when I'm looking for comfy wanderer typa vibes while I'm out. Mainly Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, Glen Campbell, Eddy Arnold shit like that
>>2717994OL JIMMY'S WORKING HARD THIS YEAR
>>2718304>>2718253pls learn basic gusic theory before talking about music ever again. I care about the sound and arrangements not le truthful beeeing urself
>>2718515>I care about the sound and arrangements not le truthful beeeing urselfAutistic take on music. "I love the patterns and the relationship they have to each other". Music is like mathematics to you. Doesn't mean it has to be to the rest of us.
>>2716491heh that sounds fun, im gonna steal your wife's idea
>>2718543Protip: if it's good, it's inauthentic, retard. The only "authentic" music where the person isn't focusing on building an image or where to take the chord progression or melody or arrangement is literal retard music like daniel johnson. Even some dipshit "punk" artist you listen to, if they don't sound like absolute fucking ass, was cleaned up by a producer who knows exactly what he is doing. And even those punk lazy shits are just cultivating a gay image around that to sell themselves as le authentic.Let me put it this way, you are watching pro wrestling and thinking it's real. You are watching a movie that says, "based on a true story" and thinking it's accurate. You're retarded. The enlightened position is in recognizing it's an entertainment product and then understanding how the product is structured and made and appreciating it on a deeper level because of it.
>>2718550>rambling rant nobody asked for>ends with "understanding how the product is structured and made and appreciating it on a deeper level because of it"Autism confirmed.
>>2718552You have dogbrains.
>>2718554Big talk coming from someone unable to appreciate music at face value.
>>2718557I appreciate it at a deeper level than you. Now I can't unironically listen to complete untalented shit anymore, that is a tradeoff to actually learning about a medium. But I can actually follow what is happening. Let's put it yet another way, I see the plays before they happen and know why they were chosen to happen. I don't just follow the ball with my eyes, I see the picks set, I see the positioning of the three point shooter. You think seeing a guy dunk and going "wowee whoa!" means you appreciate basketball more than me because I know what the coach is doing?
>>2718560>unironically giving a niggerball analogyPls commit suicide
>>2718560please never consider going to any public space where music is playing anon. you need to save some pussy for the rest of us uncultured gorillas
>>2718560
>>2718563>>2718565>>2718566Everytime, lmao
>>2718567Every time because you're a a clear faggot
>>2718568https://youtu.be/qDDgjgAJ1Jc?t=121
>>2718569Exactly how you're autistically screeching about music theory
>>2718571I'm not the one who listens to kiss as an adult lmao. These are my preferred spooky clown musicians.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frZAL0YRDJ0
>>2718574Not even the guy who listens to Kiss and I like CC you're just a faggot
>>2718560My boy I'm the anon you're having a pretend argument with. I play multiple instruments, you just have autism.
>>2718576Personally I just don't endorse ignorance and mediocrity at any level. Kiss is terrible and they don't even have significantly good hooks even in their genre. You know who has good hooks? Classic country western.
>>2718577Pretty much everybody who plays one instrument plays multiple instruments because the skill is transferable.
>>2718580People might actually take you more seriously if you just straight up say "I'm autistic and miserable" instead of trying to make some grand statement of why you have the chosen enlightened music taste
>>2718582I was just rustled by somebody talking shit about country while heralding fucking kiss. Is such a thing so unreasonable? They don't have a single talented member nor good songwriting.
>>2718584I agree with you on that shit. Love country, love bluegrass, but no need to be anal about music theory. Just call him a homo who loves men in make up and tights, like a normal person.
>>2718584>>2718560>>2718550Your first mistake is typing any of this shit to someone who likes glam rock. Just looks like you cant read the room.What anon said here is most acceptable >>2718585
>>2718585I just don't get how rock n roll all night would be better camping music than tony rice. People who listen to stuff like kiss or any other plain boring power chord music would grow out of it if they tried learning any instrument and the basic 2 hours worth of music theory. I'm not saying you have to listen to 12 key change songs with a 666/13 time signature. Just know what a harmony is, know what an actual triad sounds like, and learn to hear that almost all pop music is the same 12 songs over and over again and all we really have is better musicianship and arrangement (and lyrics to a lesser extent) to set things apart.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVl1ibykWZUThis is some ideal river floating music with lush forest around you and the sound of cicadas.
>>2718588>hahah yeah man anyways i gotta get goin.......>so anyways I just don't get how rock n roll all night would be better camping music than tony rice. People who listen to stuff like kiss or any other plain boring power chord music would grow out of it if they tried learning any instrument and the basic 2 hours worth of music theory.

>>2718587The authentic music thing always seems to come out of poseurs. To me, punk rock is where you dress up and larp as a musician without putting in any of the work and then try to sell it purely with marketing. There just isn't really such a thing because any art is a construct based around constraints and conventions. And the conventions aren't really arbitrary whether it is in music or in storytelling. Mathematics are discovered, not invented, and are the language of God. When you learn to use the physical relationships between vibrations which are can be described with this language it is no less magical because of literacy.
>>2718591Okay fag
>>2718592punk literally means bottoming faggot, anon
>>2718275>Gyms don't existYeah, I'm just gonna go on being more shredded than you, making more than you, and living in a place with an actual pulse, and leave the MUH SMALL TOWN larp to you.>>2718304>musicians cultivate an imageNo shit. Using KISS as an example, they wanted to start a band that was entertaining (in their words, "the band they wanted to see") and to get money and pussy. Who can't get behind that? "Selling out" was the entire point.I'm not one of these twats who thinks in binary, musician/entertainer terms, what I'm saying is, the entire point of country, and the audience it panders to, is so vapid, banal, and uninspired it is legitimately painful to listen to if you've got anything going on upstairs.Not to mention it feels like 90% of what gets pumped out is full-on music to simp/cuck yourself to, songs like Drink on it, Love Ain't, Dicked Down in Dallas, etc. shit that ain't my vibe.Having said all that, taste is subjective, and if that kind of music gets you all sticky in the overalls, more power to you. I've got friends who are into it, I even go /out/ with them and abide country in the playlist, I just mercilessly roast any stupid lyrics I hear and make a drinking game out of it; every time you hear>dirt road>good girl>beer>trucktake a drink, if you hear "small town" finish that shit...WARNING: Do not play this game if you have anywhere to be in the morning, and/or if you value your liver.>>2718305>Hank Williams>Merle HaggardFor sure, even I can get down with that, and I love me some Randy Travis. I'm mostly talking shit about post 90s country, and especially the genre's last decade or so.>>2718515>I care about the sound and arrangementsYet another reason modern country is ass, and another reason KISS is based, to say nothing of the musicians and work they've inspired; you ever hear Yoshiki's orchestral arrangement of Black Diamond? Shit gave me chills.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQxuXO7UVcQ
>>2718359BABY, IF YOU'RE FEELIN' GOODAND BABY, IF YOU'RE FEELIN' NICEYOU KNOW YOUR MAN IS WORKIN' HARDHE'S WORTH A DEUCENot just an absolute BANGER of a track, but a blueprint to a happy, fulfilling relationship.>>2718550>>2718560We're reaching levels of autism that shouldn't even be possible. You're overthinking this: I just wanna listen to Paul Stanley sing about his dick while I make fun of rednecks. Stop being gay about it.
>>2718710>I'm mostly talking shit about post 90s country, and especially the genre's last decade or so.Country mostly died around 1980 due to shitty slick production. The age of country was 40s-70s. I hate George Strait. There were always holdouts like Billy Joe Shaver or Junior Brown or Sturgill today.
>>2718710Fair enough, you're just exposed to shit country. There's plenty of non-pop country keeping the spirit alive (Sturgill Simpson, Charley Crockett - hell, Willie Nelson is still here) it just doesn't get thrown around as much as the beer-drinking-truck-loving meme country.
>>2718721He clearly doesn't listen to anything at a deep level if he is listening to kiss anon lmao. It's like being into ICP.

>>2718801that's southern-speak
>>2718802
>>2718801Zoomers have been destroyed because they were raised almost exclusively by public education and media and had little contact with any sense of community, church, or even family. As a result they can only emulate what their screen and the jigaboos at school behave like. It's a generation of malibus most wanteds except even black people are gay as fuck now.
>>2718802That's melanated speak. We share some similarities because they also heavily reside in the South. But there's a few shades of difference.
>>2718801There's nothing exclusively, or even typically black about that line of text. "Miss me with" is the only part that comes close, and even then that's verbage widely used in the south. I've said it for at least 20 years; the term predates zoomers and contemporary nog-worship.>>2718904This shit was fucking eloquent. Well said.>>2718720>>2718721All fair points, and I'm sorry if I was giving off STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE vibes; as I haven't heard anyone try to defend "stadium" country, I think we're all on the same page.>>2718722>It's like being into ICPOverplayed your hand, outed this as bait. Listen, I'm not going to sit here and defend KISS. It's either for you or it isn't, and their influence and legacy speaks for itself at this point. What I do know is this, if you're on 4chan, andhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivJZljEostE^this doesn't make you happy, you don't belong.
