*gets on you*
>>2838199Legitimately hate this more than ticks and mosquitoes.
>>2838199I gut animals but somehow this shit disgusts me.
>>2838199>+1 armor and +1 cammo added
>>2838199>Walk through trail>Get covered in enough spider webs to make a silk shirt>Walk back out>Some how get covered in enough webs to make a matching set of silk pantsYou would think they'd get tired of making the same web over and over, maybe they just like watching us wipe them off our faces.
Legitmate how do they even do it? Do they jump or what? How does a spider even get from point A to B with a web
>>2838564They set an anchor point and wait for a gust of wind to blow then they jump and let the wind carry them to another object.
>>2838566This is how I make multi-point belays
>>2838566That sounds so based. I'd love to be a spider, just swinging from place to place, scurrying away from birds with expert level stealth skills, killing all those stupid flies. As a spider you will have literally 100's of kids, and you can design your own cool webs to attract the ladies.Spiders are honestly the best small creature on the planet, they will even kill other insects for you. Just give them a nice corner somewhere in your house and they will eat all your bad bugs.Though you do have to worry about getting eaten by a woman, but then again that isn't much different from human life these days.One day I will die and be reborn as a spider, wagmi.
>>2838564I've seen a spider thread that crossed a small river. No idea how it did it.
>>2838564>>2838645Its like fishing. They let out a long line with a sticky bit at the end, wind catches it on something and they use that to cross.
>>2838246Then, you haven't really experienced ticks and mosquitoes. Have you even been /out/? Are you some woman who enlists the help of others to kill bugs in the house?
I avoid walking through them just to not waste the spider's time and energy. Mr. Spider put a lot of effort into his web, you know?
>>2838199>doesn't, because I walk with one of my trekking poles out in front of me It must suck to be you.
>>2838661>tick: just pull it off>mosquito: bug spray>spider web: impossible to avoid, electromagnetically attracted to your mouth and eyes. Seems to have the supernatural ability to phase through all attempts at brushing it off.
Umbrella chads just keep on winning
>>2838749>umbrella>chadTits or gtfo; no man uses an umbrella except as a weapon or as a tool other than its intended purpose.Only "males" who have long since turned in their penis lisence.
>>2838763Indoor enthusiast detected. This is an umbrella user forum.
>>2838763Nah, umbrella anon is right. He always spergs about umbrellas in every thread, but now that I'm in my 30s I realize he's absolutely right about the utility of one. I'm just too lazy to carry one so I wear those thin hoodies you always see on the mountain.

>>2838199I just wear a hat and walk with a slightly lowered head>>2838621based drowposter, I feel the same
>>2838769>>2838814>>2838867When your dresses get back from the dry cleaners maybe you girls can have a tea party in the park, which is far /out/ as you gals ever go
>>2838621There are species that make little "balloons" out of a ton of strings just floating in the air, and they drift on thermals and wind.They can cross ridiculous distances that way.It's magnificent.
>>2838873>I just wear a hat and walk with a slightly lowered headWhat? What would that accomplish? Do spiders where you live only make lines at the height of your forehead or higher?
>>2838910no, but I only care if it gets on my face, glasses and my sweaty bald scalp
>>2838910He's a manlet.
>>2838931>>2838910NTA but I’m much taller than average so if I’m not the first one on the trail there’s a good chance the spider webs that passed over other people heads will end up in my face.
>>28389396'3" and I've also experienced this exact same stupid situation. If I'm passing through a heavily wooded and wet area I'll just hold my forearm in front of me to prevent the spider silk from getting on my face.
Okay, serious question here; we're joking about umbrellas, hats, and so on, but even a kids we used to just casually wave a stick around in front of us if we saw a web, or if shrubs and trees were close enough together that a web might be there.I mean, we just instinctually did that as childrenAnd the sticks in the forest are free
>>2838967
>>2838967I’m not joking about an umbrella. If you have it opened because of rain or sun, it can prevent spiderwebs from getting in your face. It’s one of the most multifunctional pieces of gear you can take on a hike.
