Genuinely cannot find any info on camping or anyone interested in camping who isn't a fag.>Camping gear is not all plastic shit that costs 500+ dollars>Campers are just gearheads who enjoy buying shit from REI more than actually camping>everyone is a pussy. Don't even carry a knife or drink from a river because "knife le weapon" and "river le germs"!!!!!>"camp mattresses" exist and are like 400 dollars for a glorified balloon>Camping sites are just parking lots by parks, and filled with retards
>>2781557So...go camping on your own.
>>2781557You're talking about glamping which has always been a thing. There's normie camp grounds and primitive sites you actually need to hike out too. Also if you don't like plastic gear you're a hipster faggot. I'm as much if an anti micro plastic schizo as the next guy but camping is the one situation where the pros outweigh the cons.
>>2781557My dad is retired on a super fixed income and he camps for pretty much the entire summer because it's one of the cheapest ways to travel. $1k of camping equipment would get you like a week in a hotel somewhere and it lasts you multiple years
>>2781557You've never been camping yet you are now an expert?
is this another demotivational thread?
>>2781557>Camping fucking sucks nownigga what? just buy some used gear on craigslist to avoid chinkshit. the whole point of camping is to get away from the spiralling clown world. the woods are the same as they always were.
>>2781557What the fuck are you taking about
>>2781560The amount of rubber micro particles you inhale during a day in an urban environment dwarfs any amount you'd ingest during a camping trip out in nature.
>>2781557>tons of videos about buying quality camping gear on a budget>tons of DIY projects>everybody brings a knife>everybody filters river water or boils snow>camp mattresses exist and they cost as much as two nights at a cheap hotel>he camps at (((campsites)))
I bought a cheap tent, a cheap bag, and a pillow. I am ready to get out there
>>2781557You’ve never camped more than a few days, and only in fair weather. You’re fat. You’ve never backpacked more than a few miles, and even then your focus was on camping rather than hiking. You don’t even know the difference between camping and hiking. Your feet are softer than the inside of a vagina. You think pemmican and whole potatoes are a good choice for hiking food. You think pack weight isn’t important. You have no idea what you’re doing.
>>2781557So trve anon. That's why I turn to my eastern friends or secondhand market for gear, and go bushwacking to get away from these bluetooth speaker retards.
I just use an ALICE rig and an old backpack not even meant for camping to bring my tent and tarp. My tent is like 6 years old at this point. Works fine for me.
>>2781791Pemmican has a decent calorie/weight ratio thoughbeit.
>>2781557Anon, you make your own experience.
>>2781557you don't have to participate in any of that.you can just go camping.which I suspect you don't actually do, you just like wanking about it with other wankers online.Just go outside.
>>2781791Fucking gottem but you lost me on pemicanOP you should go to Alaska that's where all the cool hard-core campers go :)
That's pretty harsh.
>>2781557You sound like you camp with your mom.
>>2781557>spends $5000 on elaborate car-top tentif you're not sleeping on top of your car you're not a true outdoorsman
There's nothing better than getting outdoors, cracking open a cooler full of beers, and blasting music from your car while you and the lads play ladder ball. Sorry you can't have fun anon, call the warden on me pussy
>>2781557Why don't you put up an ad on craigslist for an manly man who wants to go overnight camping with you macho style.
>>2781557imagine coping so hard because you're too scared to go out by yourself
>>2782594but it is scary though. I mean I'm pretty scared of being killed by satanic hillbillies, mole jews, or mountain feds, or hunted by rich fags cause I accidentally found their child mills
>>2781557>Camping gear is not all plastic shit that costs 500+ dollarsDon’t buy it. There are plenty of non-plastic or cheap options (they’re mostly bad)>Campers are just gearheads who enjoy buying shit from REI more than actually campingWhat they do doesn’t affect you or me in any way. >everyone is a pussy. Don't even carry a knife or drink from a river because "knife le weapon" and "river le germs"!!!!!Again, it doesn’t affect you. Do you need a group to camp with? Why? Just go with friends if you’re not comfortable being alone.>"camp mattresses" exist and are like 400 dollars for a glorified balloonWe can all google the prices. CCF pads exists.>Camping sites are just parking lots by parks, Go to a national forest and setup wherever you want>and filled with retardsHow would you even know?
for some weird reason most anons still think going /out/ means following some premade trails and camping on a campgrounds on nature parks by defaultwhere have all those who are able to use a map and compass gone whats the point of going anywhere if you are just going to be around people anyway
>>2782701It’s regional. In the southeast and a lot of the east coast, going off-trail means bushwhacking through a jungle at 1/4 mile per hour. It’s done through necessity, connecting trails and old roads, or getting to a certain feature. It’s not the same thing as just hiking. Sometimes you find a game trail but they don’t go very far. Old forest roads are nice but you don’t really need to navigate (just look at a map).
>>2781558>there was no response to this
>>2781557>>Camping sites are just parking lots by parks, and filled with retardsWell yes, what else would a camping site be?If you want to go camping then go in nature, in the wild.
>>2781791Always wanted to go /out/ with a bag of potato's desu
>>2781557You sound like a whiny bitch and probably stupid
>>2785265The only thing stopping you from your dreams is you.
>>2781914It tastes fucking horrid, which is why it was used as an emergency ration that everyone hated.
>>2781791GYAT
>>2781557buy land or rent land
>>2781791and you dont know how to start a fire without a butane torch, lighter or lighter fluid. Hiking is just walkingyou're retarded and thing your special trans app that tells you that you walkedsometing that everyone who isnt a cripple which is the majority of thw popluation can doyou arent special.You will never be special.I bet you dont even know where to begin looking for materials to start a fire?Do you know how to identify proper trees?Can you effectively split wood?>inb4 can youyes, i can.Do you even know how to track animals?Literally stop wasting your money on trans gear and actually go outsideeverytime someone on this board actually goes outside you fags get mad that they arent doing it your oddly specific way.>inb4 but my hecking trans state doesnt allow firesfoldable firepits existyou can also do the dakota fireholei bet you didnt even know what that was until i mentioned it.you fuckjng retards just horde images and infographics that you will never put into use because you spend all your time watchjng anime and playing video games
>>2785591>OMFG MY HECKING TRANS RIGHTS APP TOLD ME I HIKED 4 MILES AT A NORMAL ELEVATION AT A NORMAL SPEED
>>2785591>he thinks starting a fire and splitting wood is some big difficult task You basement dwellers just can't help but to out yourselves sometimes
>>2785600i fucking hate this board
>>2785600you're the same retards that think walking is a special task
>>2785603I don't even know what this thread is about, literally didn't read. I just saw your retarded post and decided to chime in. I've been making fires and splitting wood since I was a kid. I can't imagine how new you would have to be to the outdoors to think that's anything special.
>>2785604yeah dude and my dad works for nintendo!1!1!1!!1
