Every last bit of it is soothing to the soul until you're trying to sleep in 77 degrees at 98 percent humidity with no breeze.

We've left nature behind, and we need to get back to almost all of it, but climate control is a blessing from the lord.

>>22940497
I’m so happy to live next to Stanley park. Every moment I am free I walk the sea wall, cycle, walk through trails, bird watch. The heron population is doing good and there are places with schools of fish you can see and you can watch the herons sniping them out of the water. So relaxing desu. But I wore a gold necklace for a week in the sun and not I have a necklace shaped lobster burn on my neck

>>22940493
What a fake photo.
"So I said 'listen Jack, if you're not going to wear a rubber, you're not fucking my butthole!" to which he laughed loudly and raped my ass anyway, which I always intended.
"I hear you. I buggered the 4runner salesman who sold me this $75,000 SUV that should cost less than half that. Fucked him right in the coat closet at the dealership."
"yeah, we sure are two very gay guys,"
"Should we light this fire?"
"No, we're just here for the photo shoot. We don't even know who lives here, but we're going to go try to have gay sex with him afterwards."
"That's great. I sure do like men's butts and penises."
"I do too, buddy. Hey, you want a quick blowjob?"
"You know it! Don't forget to finger my ass."
"Never"

I have been watching a lot of camping videos lately, that is usually a prelude to me picking up a new hobby. I want to be like this guy https://www.youtube.com/@KuskBushcraft

Sorry to burst your bubble but >>22940487 was typed by brown hands

>>22940501
Stanley park is amazing. I swear the animals like human interaction because the seals always play along the sea wall where people watch them, the herons position themselves close to crowds so people can watch them, crows hang around people and will hop around within feet of you- even seagulls will swim around the area when they are in leisure mode. It’s funny but I think human and animal recreation happens there. Whenever I see seagulls and geese there they are either chilling in the sun or floating around like ducks. So peaceful.

Plus cycling there first thing in the morning when you can rip through even the tourist trails before it gets too hot… so nice

>>22940500
ever hear of Stealth Camping?
stop going to theme park camp sites and experience some real adventure off the beaten path ya mong.

>>22940486 (OP)
I have a cabin in the upper peninsula of Michigan in God's country. It's a home base for me while I get back to nature. I also work on the cabin for shit to do. I need things comfy, cozy. I'm not sleeping inna woods attractive bears to come kill me.

>>22940510
Brown hands.. do brown people really not find nature relaxing?

>>22940506
It looks amazing. It's always funny to visit the places where human and animal interaction has peacefully existed for so long that the animals lose some of the learned caution in those places.

>>22940507
Why would you need stealth unless you're camping adjacent to the beaten path, and don't want to get caught, because you aren't supposed to be there? Looks like you're camping in your neighbor's back yard. That old christmas tree isn't a natural occurrence.

>>22940507
That's a nice knife, though. What kind is it?

>>22940512
I find the way the birds socialize also fascinating. Pic related are cormorants and they always hand out with seagulls in Stanley park

>>22940486 (OP)
The fucking mosquitos are terrible out here. Every time I go outside, I come back in looking like I caught a disease. It's also hot as fuck out here. Like 90f at night. Plus, rain, flooding, all sorts of inclement weather. I'm thinking of homesteading to gtfo of the city and just enjoy growing fruits & vegetables. That's enough camping for me.

>>22940508
>attractive bears
Are bears sexy in the UP? I've only ever seen the northern wisconsin black bears. They're pretty sexy, too.

Shill your shitty YouTube channel elsewhere
Sage these threads anons

>>22940512
It’s almost beyond lost caution but I think birds actually hunt outside the park and go there for recreation. Geese and seagulls in recreation mode just float around like ducks and lay on the beach getting sun. When they are in survival mode they are hanging outside my office digging through garbage bins. I think they eat garbage and then go to the park to relax

>>22940515
I spent some time photographing pelicans in Florida one year, and they don't run from people. I found myself inching ever closer with the camera, to the point where they try to bite the lens. I inch closer with my view through the lens, so I don't realize I'm only inches away from them.
Cormorants are neat.

Watching nature in general is great, but I think bird watching is especially dear to many because you don't have to do a lot of moving around. There aren't a lot of "slow bird days." You can be relatively inactive, drive out somewhere a specific bird is reported to be, and you'll have plenty of watching to do. There are a lot of places all up and down the Mississippi and most of the larger rivers where bald eagle watching is a seasonal, though dependable activity. Hundreds of bald eagles all in one place.

>>22940500
I have never experienced this. Choose better campsites. Faggot.

>>22940486 (OP)
Damnit, I wanna. Just can't find the time or place to just get away from it all.

>>22940486 (OP)
I live in the middle of the forest close to a river so I dont need to larp as a camper.

>>22940529
Hahaha. No worries.
I have to admit, that doesn't look like some place I'd want to wake up. The logistics of the first shit of the morning are baffling, especially with a companion. I'd rather see dense woods as far as the eye can reach. Lots of places to poop. When you hit middle age, pooping becomes a major factor of your comfort.

>>22940527
Try a colder climate. Bugs generally hate the cold and mosquitos die at 50°F

>>22940531
Honestly even watching crows fight, watching them drop shells to open them, watching birds bathe in the water, ducks floating around. Herons you usually see a few of but eagles are the very rare ones to see because their nests are so high and they’re not social with humans. Ducks want to show off their babies to humans but eagles hide- at least here

>>22940486 (OP)
Camping gear is expensive just like fishing gear. Unless you do it twice month it's not worth. It's only enjoyable when the weather is nice and outright miserable when it's cold, raining or sweltering. Also if it' mosquito season, enjoy getting eaten alive. I used to do camping thinking I could get away from it all for a three day weekend. What found is that once you're in your late thirties it becomes too exhausting to be enjoyable. Camping takes a lot of energy. I found that whenever I got back I was totally exhausted and needed a day to sleep and rest before returning to work. That's not a vacation. It's a weekend devoted to physical labor. Also it's a waste of time. You're not getting anything done in your home when you're fucking off with a campfire in the woods. I found that it wasn't helping me with bettering my life. It was a burden that drained my money, time and energy. At the end of it, it just made my life more miserable.

>>22940537
My favorites are loons. I have many memories of fishing unpopulated waters, just me and a few friends on still waters with fishing poles, watching a loon dive and pop up 100 feet away, and that cry is haunting. Incredible birds.

>>22940538
Walking in nature is easier. You get sun, expertise and go home and wake
Up with a tan. I’m lucky where I am there are no flies or mosquitoes so I the summer you can walk and birdwatch with no hassle

>>22940487
I was camping once and a fat creepy dude walked up to my site like 20 meters away and grabbed his nuts and left a pink post it on the ground with a phone number that said COCK RELEASE no I don't have it anymore I'm a nigger retard and I gave it to the ranger

>>22940538
>Camping gear is expensive just like fishing gear.
Do you recall when it wasn't?
There was a time.
Both camping and fishing gear have grown in cost exponentially, despite cheap labor producing it all. I found a receipt for fishing lures yesterday from the 90s. $1.99, $1.99, $2.39... etc. They're $10 on clearance now for the types of lures I have. The costs of the gear have risen 500%. Has your pay?

>>22940541
Man, sorry about that. I was drinking. I don't even like dudes. I was drinking straight liquid G that day.

>>22940541
Gross. At Stanley park homos go there at night to give each other siphilis. During the day it’s great but at night… homos will walk up to you and say weirdo shit. Even homeless are scared to sleep their at night because goody bandits will prowl around looking to rape sleepers

I go walking up to around 9pm and have never had any weirdo shut happen but once it gets dark….

Inbeforespelunkingdisasster

>>22940502
Lmao. Are you sure you didn't stumble upon a scarecrow or effigy of some kind? Their are lots of spooky ass people out in the deep woods though speaking from experience. I've happened across all kinds of strange shit out there, most notably something that was clearly a sacrificial altar of some kind surrounded by four stone "gateways" with strange runic markings carved into them. After studying the area for about 5 minutes I started hearing dogs barking and hightailed outta there.

lots of great places down here.

>>22940557
I'm 47 and sleeping in the ground is a reset for my back, get a great sleep and when I get back to comfort my body both appreciates it and doesn't complain as much. Bring the wife and kids and a inflatable paddleboard to a lake in the middle of nowhere and you've got heaven.
Love tenting, have a fifth wheel but would rather go tent in a place with no power because those are the best spots and they are all but empty now.
Human beings really are cucked, which means the places further a field are reverting to what they used to be: pristine free and human corruption.

Imagine the mind set of leaving the city to go into nature, only to bring a $50000 home away home you need a $50000 vehicle to pull, and surround yourself with 'like minded' strangers. Like moving into a different cul-de-sac for a weekend and pretending you're camping.
Retarded.

>>22940558
No way.
I mean, it's definitely not sleeping weather, but the everglades would be amazing to explore. You can harvest anaconda and python skins and meat all day long without a permit. If I'm not mistaken, there are a few other invasive species you can harvest with a rampage-like blood lust for death and violence, and the state will say "thanks."
I mean, if you're into that. Seems like you could benefit from a nearly unlimited resource with no competition, no matter what it is. Even sand has buyers. Anaconda skins have to have some value.
Or build a massive insect trap and start an insect burger craze.

Dude, not everyone is built the same. You ever see that Ukrainian weight lifter who fucks with people at the gym by easily lifting what they've trained for years to lift, with half the bulk? It's an extreme example, but human anatomy isn't uniform, and it's not all about effort. If it was, we wouldn't recognize race, or let it piss us off. It would be irrelevant, just another factor like hair color.

I been camping 18 months. Tents are stupid. Don't use one. They trap mould spores and take forever to dry. I am stealth camping in a mature reserve. There is a no tent sign at the gate. Camping is banned in iconic simulacrum but not in for real

>>22940582
https://snugpakusa.com/product.php?id=76

I enjoy mine, I can see the stars at night with the cover off. Keeps the bugs away, lightweight, solitary and small, sets up in under 3 minutes, ninja stealth, basically a bivy but whatever.
Mine is from 2016, I have been seeing reviews lately that their quality has dropped since outsourcing to Chyna in 2018 but I am not sure if that is true.

>>22940486 (OP)
urban camping looks superior

>>22940582
In some places, not bringing at least a mosquito net means you're going to wake up with hundreds of mosquito bites. Also, the morning dew can be pretty annoying. I respect the effort and the adventure of what you do, but it's not universally practical. That said, nobody needs a five-room cabin tent that you can walk upright in.

>>22940583
I have one just like that. After a few months the poles broke, I fixed them but iffy. Then it picked up mildew. Now I use and 8x10 polypropylene tarp in burrito fashion. For some reason bugs are never an issue if you stay away from human settlements and take some care with site selection and timing. If it rains I sleep sitting in Hilux driver's seat. Being able to sleep in the seat means I can sleep anywhere for an hour or two. I never have to worry where I will spend the night. (Those tents need soft enough ground for pegs, that cuts out a lot of sites)

>>22940584
That looks so miserable to me. The very fact that anyone can steal what you have is unpleasant to me. If I could trust my neighbors, I'd do it for fun; set up a modern canvas paradise on 400 square feet of abandoned parking lot with a courtyard and power and a composting shitter and air conditioning. If your neighbors could be trusted, the fucking yuppies would turn urban adventure camping into a billion dollar industry like they did with RVs.

>>22940586
>>22940586
>Those tents need soft enough ground for pegs, that cuts out a lot of sites
truth
that is when you bust out the ol tarp and rope, or make the hammock.

>>22940585
I have a head net, used it twice when I chose a bad site. Slept badly. Should have moved. Tonight I'm going to try sleeping on this picrel bench in a seclude nature reserve. Dew is the number one problem tonight. Fuck dew. The sun has just set and the car isn't clammy yet, so maybe it will work. I refuse to sleep under a wet sheet of plastic, aka a tent.

>>22940560
Pajeets dont really go to stanley park qnr i go often enough i can identify people’s race by their bicycle brand (here nice cervelos in interesting colorways are always white women and factor bikes are always chinese men).

If you let pain dictate your ability to do things, you will die young. Pain is something you either get used to, manage with training and your own personal regiment of physio, or it'll control you all the way to your early grave.
T.- someone with really bad back injuries both from the rigs and a 2 year stint as a tunnel laborer.

Sleeping in a tent should be a yearly thing every man does, with their wife and kids or in their own, that they come to enjoy for what it actually is: a reminder of the best possible reality from human history, feeling safe, content, and at one with nature while living within it.
Instead of the kike hubris trained existence we have now, where we're pretending we own and control it.

>>22940594

there is only a few 'designated camping spots' in this country where you can make an open fire and camp for free. those places are gay as fuck and you never know if they are already occupied before you arive
the alternative is holliday parks but they don't allow open fire and you're basically in a tent city surounded by other tourists
i'd do it more often if i didn't have to travel that far or risk getting fined

a thermarest, a few stoves, pots, cups and some coffee and salt; of course fishing rods. That way he is always at home. Whipping up some good coffee for a new fishing bud, leads to great conversation and good Intel. A soccer ball or frisbee can come in handy.

>>22940543
what is straight liquid G?

>>22940599
Liquid G is one of the date rape drugs that isn't a roofie. A sip of it is like a six pack of beer. You just get really, really drunk, but you're still moving to an extent. It's one of those things scumbags will give a girl and then "walk her home" because she got too drunk. I've never knowingly had any myself, honestly, but I've woken up naked with a woman I don't recall going to bed with the night before, and I suspect her drink was spiked by someone, and I vaguely recall one of those "Here, have some of my drink" scenarios you have with drunk chicks. You lose memory and immediately act like you've been drinking heavily for hours.

>>22940597
>in this country
Isn't your country tiny and densely inhabited? You might have to travel a little to find a spot. There are huge areas of this country that are uncampable. Sometimes I drive 400 kms to find a nice place. Sleeping in the driver's seat is a superpower if you have a car. You can snatch 2 hour naps easy enough.

Yes it's fun. I hiked La Gomera in Spain and camped every night randomly. I even wild camped in Asia a few times. Hotels are for faggots, efeminates and boomer scum

Maybe in your backyard. There's important things you need to be aware of when you're really out alone in the wild
>>good for all ages
At a campground, sure. Don't take your kids out hours away from anything on foot ifnyou aren't well prepared and knownwhat you're doing
>>fresh air
Yes
>>cool animals to see and hear
That's part of the problem and what you need to be prepared for
>>explore new territory and environments
You should never just set out and just wander without knowledge of the area or a plan dor exactly where you're going

Curated campgrounds are one thing but being way out in the badlands, deep in the rockies, or out on the AT doing real camping and hiking underestimating nature gets people killed.

>>22940592
thats my point retard, you can do whatever you want including being a little mongrel mutt throwing trash everywhere
walk off the beaten path THERE ARE STILL BEANERS
YOU FAGGOTS DO NOT GO OUTSIDE

>>22940524
Nah youre right I’m being a tight ass

>>22940601
I can't speak to that anon's specific location, but that general (GENERAL) region of Europe is supposed to have some of the world's largest primeval deciduous forests. I never would have suspected it. Some of them are regarded with medieval type fears, like nothing good happens in the forest.

>>22940524
Ur post was funny I’m just cynical and getting old ig

>>22940602
>Hotels are for jew
Many airports are in the countryside and close to good camping. Even at Heathrow you can get a cheap bus to Windsor and chill. I once hitchiked out of the Zurich airport and the driver dropped me on a camping bicycle trail. Take the hitchhiking pill.

I remember cooking some bacon on my camp stove, and the smell wafted over to a tent full of muslims, who shouted WHAT'S THAT SMELL? and then dragged their tent to another part of the campsite, was kek

>>22940608
let’s go camping anon I’ll make it up to you

>>22940499
Ya that about sums it up for this thread

>>22940607
>>22940609
I understand.
It's like watching TV and expecting to not see fags everywhere. They're what? 4% of the world population? Less? But they're represented as if they're half of everyone everywhere. I joke about it freely because I think faggotry is hilarious, as long as it isn't in front of me. It's being promoted as some noble morality, but it's also not a choice, or if it is, who cares. Just deal with it - lots and lots of it that they'll throw directly in your face. Now go promote it and don't make fun of it.
But it's ripe for ridicule.

>>22940612
Hahahaha. Gross.

>>22940486 (OP)
if I want to be in nature I just go hiking no reason to camp unless the hike is too long to complete in a day

then there's car camping but that's more just an excuse to get drunk with your friends

>>22940486 (OP)
I have a few tents m8

imagine doing it for free

sent here to die in favor of another pro-israel thread, probably.

>>22940630
Just use it at your own leisure.
And learn to sort through the shit

>>22940625
maybe because camping isnt political and you are all just a bunch of coping failed men

>>22940633

Just a regular reflective foam mat. I got a good rock massage right into the bones all night. If you stack 2 it's alright. Better than airmats imo

>>22940636
learn to tie knots unironically.
You can get away with a really cheap tarp set up and some lashings/knots.

https://youtube.com/shorts/xN8X2EKGMFs?si=OKIaXGdB6EETgnXq
picrel as well
I could have learned all this in boy scouts but i didnt develop a deeper love for the outdoors passed hunting until my late 20s
i recommend a knot tying book in combination with youtube
specifically the "25 most essential knots" book

>>22940645
if i posted this on /out/ id be called a larper
that's how shit that board is for anything outdoors related
it's like asking for gear recommendations on /p/ then they sperg out snd start using board culture lingo.

>>22940635
I disagree. The desire to escape the greed of the zionist economy is very political, and in this age, even a momentary escape is worthwhile, so while discussing camping itself isn't political, the motivation behind it and the skills and knowledge preserved through practice are important so that all of our heritage isn't merely erased by the results of the untethered greed promoted by the proponents of zionism. Escaping political action is in itself a political action.

>spending thousands on gear made by jews
>We must escape the hecking jewerinos
>Guys why havent you taken the camping pill and bought thousands of dollars worth of gear made by jews

>>22940651
If you really wanted to escape you'd ge saving your money to buy your own property to homestead and live off grid instead you're just further contributing to the rat race by buying spending a shitton on camping equipment that you're gonna need to replace/ refill in a years time.
It's always the people that complain the most about the rat race that wanna be in it the most

>>22940654
While I concede that it's impossible to avoid paying a jew somewhere in the supply line, no matter what you buy, I haven't promoted any of what you just said, aside from acknowledging the desire to escape the jewish.greed economy and going back to nature, where my relatives came from. Nothing about the zionist economy is natural to the human condition. Also, you can venture into the woods with nothing and build a camp there with what the world provides. Try that in the jew economy. I'm guessing you are one, of course.

>>22940486 (OP)
cool swag

>>22940661
Hahaha. You filthy jews sure do assume a lot. I own my car and home already. my escape from zionism has been underway probably since before you were born, kiddo. Keep assuming this is about buying fad accessories.

what do you think that you're going to talk 4chan into not being crass and aggressive?
Get real.
>>22940713
You're embodying multiple stupidities just to posture yourself for taking exception to what I've said, because you're an ignorant little kid. You're not even disagreeing with something I've said, but instead projecting an argument I never had onto me and insulting me for having it. You must be very mentally ill.
