lately i've seen posts in several threads about anons complaining they don't find people to hike with so i thought it might be good to have a thread where people post where they are and so on in case others are also interested and they can organize something together

i'll start, last half of september i will be on holiday and i plan on going to either pyrenees or the alps, preferably pyrenees because it's a bit cheaper. i'm up for everything but i usually do hiking and mountaneering, like ascending peaks on II or III terrain and so on. if i had a partner we could maybe do more interesting stuff. let me know if anyone is interested. currently i live in spain

As much as I'd love to meet an anon here to hike with, and even in the best circumstances, I really enjoy being in the woods alone. Even my wife comes once per week and loves it, but one day is for me and only me. She wont do overnights though, so, would be nice to have someone to do that with, but I sure as shit am not spending a night in the woods with an anon I met on a rattan braid enthusiast forum.

Not necessarily. There's plenty of people who go on 4chan when there's nothing else to do. For example, I'm posting this between weight training sets.
But I guess everybody here who's made it already is old enough to remember the brownie /k/ommando. Wouldn't want to risk that, either.

Hi guys
I'm From Scotland, but got a one way ticket to Tokyo departing in a few days
gonna be doing shit loads of hiking and essentially work my way through asia from north to south, heading west
prob gonna be /out/ for like 6 months odd
rough bucket list is heading Japan,South korea, taiwan, vietnam, laos, cambodia, thailand, indonesia and then after that see whats up. maybe fly home or stop over in india or somewhere else off the wall on my way back
if anyone else is going out there over the next few months or lives out there lets get talking
>>
>>2767550
shame to hear that you had a shitty time mate
thats why most people either drop a throwaway email or something like a messaging profile where you cant get spammed
I've honestly lost count of how many people I have met off of this website but only one or two of them have actually been a bit strange, neither situation did I ever feel like I was actually in danger
I met maybe a dozen or so people off of another hobby board, and then I think maybe at least 20-30 total from this board
you gotta remember that the great filter is actually getting off your bum and going outside
losers aren't going to go outside
and the losers who do actually go outside, and are dicks, usually lack the social skill or bravery to go and meet someone who isn't a family member

Check maintenance trails for electricity lines. At least in Okinawa, those were the only half decent trails. Well, outside of the nature preserve / jungle combat training area on the northern end that you're not actually supposed to enter.
Those trails vary between keitruck sized gravel roads and single-file animal trails, you get great views since they cut down any tree that gets high enough that it might touch the power lines and they normally don't have any dead ends.
Only real downside is they're not on any maps. When I lived there, it took me almost half a year until I had figured out where they all eld to.

the thing is, for our kind of activities it gets much more dangerous than just gay things. i have often thought when hiking how easy it would be to kill or just incapacitate someone else, maybe hitting him with a stick when he is wakling ahead of me, or pushing him off a cliff or whatever. even worse in the US because i could just buy a gun and take it out of my backup while my partner is peeing
>>
>>2770767
i meant backpack, not backup

a couple times i've encountered girls alone in places quite isolated, not more than one day hike from a road or anything, but uncommon places where there is barely any trail and very few people ever go to, even hiking. i wondered if they were very dumb or very brave. one of them at least was with her dog. but still if there were psychos around where i live they would have it so easy

I'm in my early 30s, married, and reasonably well-adjusted.

I can't speak for others, but I started using 4chan in 2008 or 2009. I was an autistic loser back then, but have since lived a fairly fulfilling life. I've traveled to dozens of countries, found new hobbies, and am generally cordial when it comes to meet new people.

Obviously I'm not entirely normal--that's how I ended up here in the first place--but the autism has waned over time. I know a very small handful of other people IRL who use 4chan, and they're all in the same boat: people around my age who were losers when they were younger, but grew up, got married, and are now happy and reasonably successful people.

I stick around because I've been coming here so long that it's habit (and because I actually enjoy helping people on /trv/, at least on the odd occasion anons ask questions that aren't about cooming or obvious LARPs).

Nah, I was living on the island and just scouted out the area over a few months. Helped that I got a few excess-production items from a local military supplier that I wanted to test so I could decide whether I should buy more from the guys (which I did - can only recommend Okinawa Tactical and their Alice packs. tell them you'renot american though, and that you're paying in yen. Both will give you discounts). Most trails would end at the gate of some farmer after a few 100m, while the maintenance trails continued from the bigger towns to the villages. Once I figured out the pattern, I'd just look for power lines. Usually, there'd be one post right next to some sideroad, and when I'd go around the fence, the trail would begin right behind it.

One example: On OKI, there's one trail beginning west of the Japanese military command (26°27'18.7"N 127°50'09.2"E) that leads towards Yaka on the other side of the island. On aerial pictures, you can only see small bits of the trail, for example:
26°27'22.1"N 127°50'18.8"E
26°27'22.3"N 127°50'37.8"E
That one's only around 1km and fairly easy (it was part of my weekly grocery ruck while living there).

Another one I remember leads from the eastern side of mount Nago to Lake Haneji over 4-5km, but that one I can't even find on the map. Iirc, it accesses this post:
26°35'18.2"N 128°00'45.6"E
crosses near this farm:
26°35'38.9"N 128°01'05.5"E
And ends somewhere around here:
26°36'08.8"N 128°01'28.2"E
But I'm not to sure on the exact locations, as I only hiked that one once. Also, despite being a 2-3m wide gravel trail, the tree cover is dense enough that I can't see it on the google maps at all.
>>
>>2771902
>seriously nobody wants to come in the pirenees or alps with me? they are so big some of you must be around
There are some of us around. For example, I'm half a day's drive (250km) from the alps.
Can't plan any large trips this year though, as I just started keeping chickens and have to stay around this winter to make sure my automatic systems (food, water, door opening) actually work the way they're supposed too.
So I'm just lurking to see if anybody in my area (western Germany) is looking for daytrips.

Greetings, bonjour, /out/fags and a special aho to manitoba anons out there.

I might have a high stakes game to play for you but first a question. I want to know how many /out/ists reside in SK, MB and west ON, so if you live in said areas, please reply, just so i know how many potential players there may be.

Before we get to the game i want to say i reside in northern MB and am very familiar with what i lovingly call the canadian jungle, and i am proud to call the vast, near inpenetrable swamps my home. Since i was a child i have idolized the Coureur du bois and the Baymen of the fur trading era and tried to emulate them as best as i can, even to this day. Now, though im sure the worst fur trader could run laps around me, i think im pretty good.

That said i want to test the skills of others, and in that way test my own skill. I want to plant a cache of sorts, with various goodies and money for the first finder to claim. Depending on how long it takes to first claim, i know how poor or good my own survival and navigation skills are. I initially wanted to make a geocache but those fags are cucks and imagine maybe 1% could even pull one of mine off, and besides that, we anons should stick together, kindred spirits and all that.

I want to make it borderline suicidal difficult but i understand not many people are autistic about this shit as i am, so i will make it an advanced difficulty instead. I will also make the cache within 300km of the border. I undersrand its not financially feasible for some to travel a few days north just to piss around in the bush. If there is more interest in this topic i will make a thread, and i could make a harder hunt when the first cache is claimed.

>THIS IS NOT A LARP.
I genuinely want to test the skill of local frens as i believe this area of the world breeds the best bushmen. Please, for the love, dont make me have to sink as low as faggit to find some able participants. I believe in anons.

thanks for coming to my effortpost.

I live in New York and usually hike around the Hudson Highlands/Gunks/Catskills area.
Interested in going up to the Adirondacks and trying out some 46ers next year.
Any other NYanons here?

I'm in Washington state and I desperately want a friend who hikes but do not trust anyone here for an instant. If you're like me you should suck it up and apply for a trail maintenance volunteer group, or a class for topics such as: avalanche, wilderness first aid, scrambling or climbing, etc. and socialize there. (I have come to accept I am too socially anxious and retarded to go to these things, having signed up and bailed mulitple times. Hiking and backpacking alone is fine too.)

Posting to give moral support. You can believe me or not but I've flown to two different countries and had people fly to mine from friendships which began here on this Korean basket weaving forum. The average person who uses the site isn't nearly as fucked up or retarded as you'd think irl.

Hello frens.
Little frog here that is tired of overcrowded Western Europe. I'm planning a 2-3 months trip to the US to enjoy true wilderness.
I'd love to meet some anons along the way, especially if some of you are hunters and would be up to bringing le noob frog on his first hunt of his life!

I'm mostly planning on hitting the West so if you see anything close to you on my map you can hit me up. But Appalachia looks glorious so if you're from there you can also contact me as long as you're not planning on raping me in the forest.

Are you interested in winter climbing? I'm a leaf but about 3h away. Looking for an "I'll meet you at the trailhead so if you don't show I'll just do the climbs myself and nothing is lost" kindof deal.

I'm looking for a winter climbing partner for one reason only and that is AVALANCE PROTECTION, ie if you are avalanched and there doesn't happen to be someone there with a shovel that's it.

>if you are avalanched and there doesn't happen to be someone there with a shovel that's it.
bro my understanding is that if you are avalanched you probably die instantly from the punch and even if you don't, chances are your partner got avalanched same as you

i think that the point of going with a partner is to stop falls down slopes and crevases, and have someone to rescue you afterwards

>have someone to rescue you afterwards
Exactly
>crevices
yup. Scary that a gps beacon won't save you if you fall into one, nightmare fuel for sure, like when you realize you're walking on a cornice.
>falls down slopes
probably dead or too risky, call for help
>my understanding is that if you are avalanched you probably die instantly from the punch and even if you don't, chances are your partner got avalanched same as you
I don't think this is true if you are up in the mountains, maybe if you are crossing a field at the base of a mountain. When you are up in the mountains you are the one causing the avalanches and you are right up where they start.

It is good technique to have one person cross an open area then the other so that if something happens you don't both get burried. If you do get burried waving your hands in front of your face before the snow freezes can give you an oxygen bubble that can last several minutes. Beacons can help soneone find you before those minutes are up. People usually don't get burried deep, especially if you have an avalanche bag..
