This thread is a place to talk about outdoor climbing in any aspect (trad, sport, bouldering, aid, alpine, etc). Help out by sharing trip reports, photos, advice, etc.

Climbing is inherently dangerous but so are lots of things. Climb at your own risk.

I planted way to many fucking basil seeds. should I just yank a couple of the little fags out? or try to transplant them like this? I think theyre close to being ready to move to a pot but Im afraid they'll start dying from lack of nutrients/space in the little plot

Thread for the discussion if outdoor activity in Israel

Due to local laws it's not a good idea to carry a locking blade. I've seen examples of slipjoint knives that don't lock but at the same time won't close in on somebody's hand when in use.

Picrel is a Böker Plus Worldwide, the mechanism can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mxk-U0zjGvU

Do you have any info on which type to look at? Or post yours.

now that the dust has settled. does a bear shit in the woods?

ITT guys who made it. Men who didn't die of exposure or hunger, men who survived

What's a sleeping bag you recommend?
I slept two weeks in Norway this summer with a random 5°C sleeping bag, and it wasn't that warm.
I'm planning to go sleep on some mountains this autumn and I want to get comfortable with lower temperatures.

Pictured here is one of my favorite plants, if not my favorite. Broadleaf Plantain.
It's a healing plant, vulnerary, useful especially for bug bites and persistent itchiness. Makes amazing balms.

Where were you when you realized that plants are god's consolation for the skeeter?

Any herbalists ab/out/? any stories of being saved by your wide knowledge of wonderful plants like these?

I can’t get past this point on the trail. It’s like a 3 or 4 meter foot vertical drop with nothing to grab onto but the rope. I tried to do the thing where you put your feet on the wall and go down backwards but they slipped on the rocks and I only managed to keep myself from falling by holding hold onto the rope with pure panic strength, then I turned back.

Is it simply a skill issue or is there a technique to it? I’m also usually the only one on the trail, so I’ve never seen anyone else do it either.

Protip you can't

I’ll give you my cherry blueberry cobbler for your recovery trail mix with pretzels

post your finds! Clovis, woodland, Mississippian, Folsom, lets see them.

If you could pick ONE book to take out on your hike, what would it be?

Gonna take my car, a tent, food, and water to some BLM land in Northern Cali. Plan on camping for two weeks. What am I in for? What should I take? What should I watch out for? Not gonna be where it's snowing, but it will get cold at night (40f). Complete newb here btw. Planning on taking...

>food
>tent

I plan on finding a suitable spot, parking my car. And putting up my tent next to it.

What goes on /out/ here

Tahquamenon River in Michigan's Upper Peninsula at the beginning of October.

How do I become one of them rangers like Aragorn?
Reading The Lord of the Rings some of my favorite parts are the ones with Strider's show of skill.
I love how he is completely aware of his surroundings and is able to instantly read footprints and use herbs and quickly make himself and his companions unseen and escape danger. At times he seemed more in tune with nature than even Legolas.
I have seen quite a few threads on here of people being scared of the dark and I feel like if one had good old Strider's skill and knowledge he wouldn't be afraid no more.
Aragorn wouldn't be startled in the middle of the forest by some bear, he would know about that mountain lion following him for the last 2 miles. He wouldn t get poisoned by some mushroom or die of hunger because he knows what is good and what is bad to eat. Strider wouldn't get lost in the forest since he has been drawing a 3d map in his head this entire time.
How do I become more like Aragorn, obviously he has had 80 years of experience but what books would you recommend and things to do in the forest to become a little more like him

Hey /out/, I live in an area that's sort of set back in the woods, and we get a lot of wildlife. I saw this deer yesterday, and I've never seen one with this coloration. They're all the typical gray or off-brown. Is this a sick deer or just a very rare color variant?

Any one have any experience doing this job? What nonsense came with the position? Should I do it?

Been a while since we've had an EDC thread.
What are some things you always carry with you? Got any new gear recently? Knife? Flashlight? Tactical spork?

I've been wanting to put together a little edc first aid kit, not like my actual hiking first aid kit, just smaller things I might need on the day to day. But I havnt really settled on a pouch yet, or, if I should get a small plastic tupperware container because it's waterproof and I hear things like bandaids can get roughed up pretty easily in a pouch

Is off-grid living a wealthy person's hobby? I can't live in an off-grid cabin full time because the code doesn't allow that, and I also would need a primary residential address. The only way to make it work off-grid is if you already have a real home.

I like the fact this is a largely a white man's pursuit, and I like how everyone say Hi to each other on the trails. I ALSO hate running but turns out walking up mountains is pretty damn fire for your cardio. Skinny white people who eat healthy is what I see on the trails and I love it, pic is from New Zealand.

Hey /out/, what’s a good breathable neck gaiter and/or balaclava? I’d also like it to muffle my speech as little as possible. No padding (it would be in warm weather), Forest/ranger green preferred but black or tan would also work.

>my favorite /out/ place are niche high peaks average person might never heard of
What kind of person do you imagine?

How important do you think a survival knife is?
Do you think it is a rather not needed item thats need can be superseded by a usual every day knife?
It is easier to just snap logs for a fire than to hack them with a survival knife.
This is of course not including raw survival where you are needing bushcraft and hunting skills to actually survive. Just general non normie tier camp holiday woodland camping.

heres mine
time was about 3 weeks ago
was fishing at the river behind my house and had a decent fishing day except for one moment
was drinking with my rican friend who brought some ribs and casting for catfish
i had like about 85 yards out and felt a rumble
so im like ill wait for a hit on the hook and then run back and shit
well about 10 minutes goes by and its grtting worse
like channeling energy to my sphincter
i say fuck that im gonna lose it and start reeeling in my line
now im struggling to hold this flow in reeling in on a 12 foot pole on 40 lb test with a 4oz weight(nriver has some deep black mud), i knew it was gonna be a bad one
god knows 8 seconds into the retreival im probably 40 feet from shore i get a MASSIVE strike
and then it happened
the force of the fish hitting my hook plus my stance, it must have looked absurb.
mind you now, i am wearing swimtrunks (no net) and all this happens in less than a second
i instinctely threw back my rod for the hook land, and in the same action release my bowels
an ABSOLUTE TORRENT of liquid shit blasts out of me
now my brain flashes
FISH OR SHIT
>the brown tide has now crossed my shorts cutoff and is dripping down both my legs
i chance a look down and my god its heinous at the same time my friend just realized what has happened
hes now yelling at me DUDE YOU SHIT YOURSELF! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU
i start charging at the reel, fish still on, 25 feet to go, ill wipe when i land it
bitch breaks off at the shore line

not a good time

It's a classic for a reason

Set on the desert in south western America, which I enjoy. I am practicing the skills necessary ahead of time because if I can’t start a fire or find water or trap and cook competently prior to embarking with finality, I won’t last. Once I am competent I plan to never return to civilization except maybe every couple of years for a day or so, if that.

Any books or recommendations on places or equipment are welcome.

I want to get into some winter camping (pine woodlands) and the colder it is the quieter it is out there. As such I want to take a stove with me for a cosy time, reading and carving things inside a warm tent. I'm on a basic budget but these are what I'm thinking. I don't care to spend extra on titanium even though it is half the weight, I will just take more rest stops.

Which of these tents would you choose? Or which other? First tent (picrel) only fits1 person, stove inside main compartment - needs a heat mat

I just want to remind all the seething chuds that I went to glacier np this year and you didn't.

Hi Anons
Bit of background.
I am a single Dad to a teen son. We have been hiking together and enjoying the outdoors since he was able to walk.
The problem is he has grown A LOT in the past year.
Right now his foot size is 2.5 sizes larger than mine and he is almost as tall as me at only 13 yrs old.

Finding boots that fit his foot size is ok but he has these huge calf muscles that can't fit inside the shaft of the boot. And if we do find something that sort of fits he runs out of lace to tie them up.

It's the same with socks. I tried XXL merino wool socks from Cabelas and while they fit his foot they are digging into his calf muscles and causing pain just trying them on.

He says he wants to just wear ankle socks and running shoes but that is a no go because I'm concerned about him rolling his ankles.
Will I have to go custom? Or can any anons recommend some hiking boot/socks brands for larger people?

This feels really unprofessional.
Also kinda funny given that Republicans basically don't want the government to exist then have to blame someone else for it shutting down.

Hey /out/, what’s a good breathable neck gaiter and/or balaclava? I’d also like it to muffle my speech as little as possible. No padding (it would be in warm weather), Forest/ranger green preferred but black or tan would also work.
I’d ask over in /k/ but they’re a tranny colony now and would probably question why I need it and spazz out.

Why do you not have a furry four legged best friend to come /out/ with you anon? They are the perfect hiking and camping companions.

Do you attend to your equipment after a good hike?

They're dead, aren't they?

Talked to some folks from the area, I'm a bit north, they say they have no chance.

Seek recommendations and discuss coldweather gear. Mittens, hats, coats, snowshoes, etc.

It's officially the first day of autumn!

How do we solve the tourist issues in western national parks?

The jews won. They are in control of the Pikes Peak batholith and the multi-trillion-dollar granite tunnel system — a highly symbolic 40 miles west of Denver, Colorado in the Front Range. But they are in control of much more than the end-time survival apparatus. They control not only the military and government of the United States of America but through the power of major corporations and the corruptibility of businessmen and government officials, fiat currency manipulation by the WiΩards of Fiat Currency at the Federal Reserve System, a small army of propagandists and "hackers" (this is a technically incorrect use of the term) who are fighting to maintain control of the Frankenstein monster they created called the Internet (in a war I fear they are going to lose), and even the Republican form of government they created which inevitably—and I would argue by design—fosters centralized control and assures only a handful of "elected" officials must be compromised to control an entire country, they control the entire Western world.

General thread for freediving and/or spearfishing, since I don't see one mentioning either.

My personal questions:
I've been thinking about taking a certification course so I can learn to do these things correctly and safely. I'm probably happy just doing the diving, but spearfishing seems like an easy and practical extension. I only casually skindive and rod-and-reel fish at the moment. Does anyone have experience taking such a course?
I know I'll need my own gear early on, but each instructor I can find seems to have their own equipment shops, so I imagine they wouldn't be impartial about the quality of other gear on the market. I live on the Pacific coast of the US, so I see that a 7 mm open cell wetsuit is strongly recommended. What good/bad features should I look out for on wetsuits and other equipment? For non-competitive diving, carbon fiber fins are almost certainly not worth the price, right?

I want to become more outdoorsy, but I have little to no knowledge of how. I wanna start fishing, camping and hiking, but I have no clue how to start. I don't trust myself to even start a bonfire. But at the same time, I don't have any friends or family that are into this stuff. Any tips?

Pro tip: you can't

Why do you "need" permits for the JMT and how are they actually enforced?

biological, geological, topographic, meteorological, oceanic, etc.
