None. When you go into the woods, you don't have to bring the city with you.

books 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.

why? 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.

>>2716419
I like physical books in my hands with smell and pages

>>2716351
My 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?

>>2716492
Do 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.

>>2716496
I don't ask because I already know the answer. I hold them in contempt just the same though.

I'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.

>>2716522
I 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

Yes. 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.

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 anymore

even 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 me
kids stay away from mobile phones and wireless earpieces they will ruin your life

>>2717231
I 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.

If 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.

Country 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.

Protip: 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.

I 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.

The 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.

>musicians cultivate an image
No 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

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.

>>2718710
Fair 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.

Zoomers 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.

There'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.

It runs windows and it has real hardware ports on it. Ether, RS232, HDMI, and several USB's.
It's great for router configuration, radio configuration, programming, updating firmware on equipment.

My wife uses the switch for animal crossing. I just use ryujinx if I ever want to play anything for switch. All the games are free and it upscales to 4k. As for actually playing it on the go, I never did. She likes to do that but I couldn't get past the shitty little screen. I have a retroid pocket 3+ that I play gba and PSP on. The games are actually made for portability first and they're usually lighter to boot up and get into than a switch title. Things like fire emblem or advance wars were built for a poop.

Is there a way around that or is that supposed to be the case, and if so, that sucks cock and my 100 dollar phone from walmart is better for gaming

E-reader for books, and phone for podcasts. That gives me a lot to enjoy while out there.

Nintendo games always seemed gay to me. I loved my PSP as a kid, it's such a shame that Homosexualtendo doesn't have any real competitors anymore.

>>2730811
Is the Switch tied to your account or are you using your friend's? It should function fine offline. The whole point of the Switch is to be a portable platform, for backpacking, travel, camping.

Metal Gear Ghost Babel is excellent. For a while, my go-to game in bed was Mario's Picross. Pokemon games are always good, and there's a million romhacks if you want a new challenge.

They're for occupying children that don't have access to the outdoors and have neglectful parents. If you're over the age of 18 and you still play videogames, much less carry them around with you, you're a manchild who needs to grow up.

> And I’m sure that you sperging out over a video game toy is very adult-like of you
Someone is criticizing you and you say they're "sperging out" while hurling curse words and insults yourself. You certainly have the lack of self-awareness to go along with the childish hobbies.

that was NOT just “criticism”. And don’t samefag like that and pretend you aren’t crying about me owning you like a little bitch.
The fact of the matter is, outdoors is for relaxing or having fun. People do that in different ways. Maybe I just wanna get /out/ for some fresh air or get a tan. As long as it isn’t causing a nuisance it’s not a problem. And throwing a shitfit because you don’t like how I spend my time won’t change a thing.
>>2746217
Maybe you’re fishing and the line’s dead. Literally think of any time you’re outside and there’s a lull in whatever you’re doing. Or sometimes I go out just to play my game. Get a chair out, get some ice and a soda kick my feet up.

>>2716351
A switch and some homebrew is probably the best, but it is absolutely fucking satanic to bring entertainment electronics out in the first place. moral panic debating aside, isn't the point of going backpacking/fishing/whatever for a lot of people to get AWAY from screentime?

>>2746115
for the switch specifically, its biggest feature is you can dock it for extra power and hooking up to a tv. Honestly, except for my time in the military (where they're a cheap stand-in for a gaming laptop for people who only play more casual games(remember, the switch library is fuckhuge and has a lot of non-AAA pc games ported to it, from Factorio to fucking Resident Evil)), I've never seen someone play one in handheld mode.

Honestly I stopped playing handhelds with the OG Nintendo DS. Not because WAH WAH UR A ADULT CHILD but I just found that generally, while out of the house, I either didn't have time to play video games, or was in a situation where playing video games would be a bad experience (like sitting in a vehicle where I'll just make myself motion sick, or waiting for someone/something where I want to be at least a little attentive)

I used to use my DS with a flashcart for rudimentary smartphone stuff before smartphones got cheap, but then smartphones got cheap and obsoleted the thing entirely. Even with my phone, I'd mostly just use it to browse memes in pubs when there weren't enough other patrons around to socialize.

Nope, it's essentially the same. During the summer, you hardly need any of those item categories, clean water is enough. But you take them anyway, why? Because it's more comfortable that way and won't make you feel miserable and ruin your morale. You are not Bear Grylls on a bare survival trip. Oh and btw i don't even own a mobile console or games on my phone, I'm more into ebooks, but if it's something OP likes when out and it doesn't bother others - more power to him. Cya nerds

>What I'm saying is its a big oof to place entertainment at the same level as food and clothing.

We were talking about smartphones so yes one should probably place a phone even higher than food, considering how GPS navigation can literally save your life.
Anyway, this thread wasn't about what you need outdoors but what makes outdoors more fun. And i see fundamentally no difference between a handheld and a pack of cards or a book

Yeah it really sucks how everbody just up and fucking died before cell phones had GPS

Buddy everyone I knew bar like 2 people had a gameboy or 2 consoles in the 90s early 2000s.
You used to be able to buy Gameboys at dedicated consoles at airports and tourist destinations.

Your really talking shit here.

simply abstain from tech, ask yourself if you'll regret what you're doing a decade from now and brainstorm ways to change that. i grew up with the internet from birth and have managed to evade all the classic tech pitfalls in favor for reading and discovering genuinely creative media. i feel like this shot attention span thing is how humanity descends into the pleasure cube ending. industrialization was a mistake

I thought the entire point was to avoid video screens in order to reset your natural sleeping clock. I would rather read books and use binoculars, start a fire, meditate, or MASTURBATE.

The person playing a switch under a tree isn't hurting you or anyone else. They're still enjoying nature while they enjoy their videogames. Get off your high horse.

Fun fact: The SP's screen looks best when viewed under direct sunlight, so it's literally meant to be played when /out/

>>2755409
I'd say the point is more specifically to enjoy actually being in the outdoors, and in the process you avoid modern entertainment. Overgrown children lie and say they're enjoying /out/ but if you're glued to a screen you're missing 90% of nature; you'd get the same experience sitting in your living room with the window open.

It's pretty depressing to just go camping or hunting alone. Seems like the robot friend would be nice and healthier than a bottle for company. You can stargaze but that only applies to the west where you can escape light pollution and it isn't cloudy literally every fucking night and even if it isn't you have trees blocking the view and light pollution from the town 2 miles away. Nothing is more disappointing than cloudy nights when you camp or light pollution. Let me just enjoy nature from darkness surrounded by trees that won't even let moonlight visibility in. In the desert with a full moon you can see a lot at night. And with a waning moon you can regularly see a few planets and the milky way/gaia enceladus. I went to the shenandoah once and it fucking sucked. You couldn't see shit on the ground or in the sky because there were trees blocking your view everywhere. I didn't realize how much I would hate them but they just make it feel like you're inside because you can never see any further than a few hundred feet if you're lucky.

The fuck else are you supposed to do out there at night. You have no stars and no moonlight.

>>2755660
>>2755706
Do you have an issue with people taking books /out/ or are they also "missing 90% of nature"? Because desu it's pure stupid prejudice to think that a videogame is inherently lower substance than say a modern romance novel. You aren't accomplishing anything good by trying to gatekeep enjoying outdoor time.

Why are you so mad? You're absolutely seething, take a breath my dude. Outdoors is not the same as going to the gym and you know it. You take up space and equipment in a gym that is usually limited in ways outdoor space is not. You also go to a gym strictly for the purpose of exercise, you don't have to strictly go outside only to hunt or whatever, there's nothing wrong with consuming entertainment outside.

Dude, you west coast guys have the best views with the hikes. I live here on the east coast in new england and we mostly do have mountains but its always forests so im just stuck looking at trees. My most recent hiking trip I climbed a mountain but couldnt get a view. Though there was some pretty scenic places.

I am the the opposite of ultra light, even without the switch and battery and weeb shit my pack weighs a ton, just bought the cheapest crap from amazon. I'll try to go lighter when my current stuff breaks down but I don't actually use my backpacking gear that often so it'll probably be good for a while.

just bought a $40 50L pack from amazon, taking it hiking tomorrow for an overnighter. reviews said don't trust any sort of weight in it so i'm slightly nervous but fuck it. Will report back.

I originally started with a 50L bag but it ended up being too small for me to actually be comfortable with. especially when it came to weight distribution since it didn't have a frame. Now I have a 65L and is perfect for me. and its has an aluminum frame within. Though If I was to buy a new bag I want to an external frame.

that's ideally what i'd like to get in the future but it's so hard for me to justify spending like $80+ because I don't actually have the chance to go hiking enough. The motherload of trails are like 4-5 hours away.

pic rel, got it geared up and the weight distribution feels pretty comfortable. I have a 4L jug of water in there that's basically all of the weight currently.

>4L jug of water
I usually dont carry any water other than a Walmart thermos since I find water sources to drink from. So I just drink whatever I can and then just map out where else I would need to drink water at. So alot of my weight is straight up material.
>I'd love to go back and up into New England also, preferably during fall colors season.
Its really good here, I recommend vermont and and the other 2 on the same horizon as it cause CT is bad and mass has some spots but nothing like the others. I know that ny doesnt count as new england but its pretty close enough and has incredible camping spots in the catskills.
>I have the even bigger version of this pack

anon here. back from my overnighter and the backpack felt brutal on my shoulders after a good bit. i feel like the chest strap just isn't big enough even at the biggest setting and the straps felt like they were almost cutting off circulation in my arms. Never really got used to it after 20km. I totally would've just found water sources and boiled them but i was so high up on a cliffside it was a while before reaching water.

Any good tips for keeping a light pack? I'm sort of a novice, pic rel

>>2756824
If youre shoulders hurt, it means either your bag doesnt fit you or the straps or not good. personally the only way to lose weight is to make sacrifices on what you bring. If you dont want to lose any of your gear I recommend on just getting a better bag with a frame. If you want to keep your bag you can just buy an external frame and tie your existing bag to it. Weight can and will effect your distance but If you keep everything balanced well in your pack. You wont even feel sore on your shoulders.

>>2756535
my bag is small but I do bring an air mat which has been the best decision I have ever made. I can actually enjoy sleeping and I also got an inflatable pillow

>>2755625
