Hey any other leafs here see this? Have you tried decoding the poem? Or hiking around? https://treasure.northernminer.com/
I could do with another 217 one-ounce gold coins.

Went looking for a mudguard and this shitter was in the front of the store. Who buys these?

Anybody here into Druidry?

It seems to be the official /out/ religion. It's all about worshipping rivers, trees and everything else that pertains to nature.

Just recently they celebrated the Autumn equinox, which is the beginning of Autmn when the Earth's axis lay perpendicular to the sun.

A most fascinating religion.

If you aren't a part of it, why haven't you taken the druid pill yet?

Would anyone succesfully climb 9thousanders or 10thousanders if such existed?

Jonathan Rinderknecht caused about a quarter trillion dollars worth of damage and killed at least a dozen people with a barbeque lighter that couldn't have costed more then like 20 dollars.

Why are these types of crimes so rare? There's tens of thousands of people who commit suicide every year in the USA and hundreds of thousands of homeless people. I'm not trying to encourage more violence or crime just curious why these types of stories are so rare

Thread for the discussion if out door recreation in the greater Israel region

The thing I was afraid the most happened today. I had to take a shit in the forest. Holy fuck. I got explosive diarrhea 6 miles into a 12 mile hike, and I didn't have any toilet paper, I had to use all my water to clean my ass, prior to this I had never pooped in the forest, I was legitimately shaking from the anxiety. It was watery diarrhea so it was easy to wash away with all my water but fuck, I had to use my underwear to make sure my butt was dry afterwards then I had to throw it away. I had to walk the rest of the hike without water and smelling like shit because when I was washing my ass some water kept dripping down my legs, fuck my life, it was so awkward, but not as bad as I thought, I feel like I could actually do it just fine next time if I was prepared. Getting off trail was the scarier part, I came across this big ass spider that looked like a black widow, but I was in such rush I just smashed it with my trekking pole and kept looking for a spot to poop.

>on a road trip in New Mexico and Arizona (mostly)
>all the national parks are closed
I thought these were MY parks.
Anyway, I picked the part of the country where almost every national park is closed, sucks. Elsewhere most are still open for the most part

>how to get started
Purchase a corn cob pipe (or a cheap briar pipe) and a pouch of Half and Half or Captain Black tobacco from a smoke shop or online. You will need a lighter or match, and something to tamp it with--a large nail works well if you don't have a pipe tool. Fill the pipe with tobacco, pack it down halfway, top it off, pack it down to 3/4, top it off again, pack gently and enjoy. Smoke slower than you think you need to, the tobacco tastes best when it is burning cool. Tamp and re-light as needed. If you still have trouble, try different methods on YouTube until you find one that works for you.

>smoking a pipe will give you cancer
Originally the Surgeon General found that pipe and cigar smokers, following a careful study of the statistics (at a time when most adults smoked, so they had a good sample size), had insignificant death rate increases. Nowadays, tobacco is being legislated against while hard drugs are being legalised. Put two and two together. Tobacco is just another good thing under attack by the government.

All tobacco users welcome. Stoners will be taken to Singapore and caned.

I spent about 90 minutes slowly inching towards these ducks so they’d get used to me. I got many bug bites. Worth. They were so cute they came up to me out of nowhere but ran away when I moved. So I made it my mission to return to the ducks.

Well /out/, what is your axe of choice? I've been going down a rabbit hole of axes and it feels almost impossible to pick just one. There are a plethora of amazing blacksmiths who have such a wide range of products that it's completely overwhelming.

At the moment I'm leaning towards the Gränsfors Wildlife Hatchet as a general use outdoor axe.

Say you have to spend 1 night in the jungle in Central America with minimal or no gear, what’s your strategy? You’re allowed the very basics, e.g. paracord, lighter, the polyester blanket you stole from the airplane, etc. but no actual camping gear
I may be in this situation next month, don’t ask why

Anybody have experience with using outdoors sleeping mats for extended indoors use? How did it go? Any recs for durability and comfort, since heat retention and weight wouldn't be an issue? My current mattress is getting old, so I'm wondering if simply laying a proper mat on it could be an interesting solution for comfort.

Would you let an old woman search your bags as a pre-condition for a hike?

Are temu backpacks reliable especially for interailing? If not have u got any budget friendly alternatives?

Title. Fiction or Non. Picrel fucked me up, I knew about the cannibalism but that was the least of it. Looking for more recs, /out/ related preferered but whatever you like or are currently reading is cool too.

What do you do with excess straps when there aren't any elastic loops to tie them up with?
I'm tempted to just cut of a big piece and melt the ends.

Archery is fun. Target shooting, 3D courses, hunting, traditional, compound, all are welcome.

The West hast the best hiking in the United Sta-

What are we going to do about RV users? There is something deeply sick about these people who drive pretending they are camping in these things.

How would you camp in the north eastern Victorian wilderness in and around Mount Buffalo?

There are the big general purpose ones, Intuit, clover etc and several agriculture specific ones, farmraise, ambrook etc. any recommendations? I need receipt scanning capability, expense totals, invoice generator, and ideally inventory count but don't really want my livestock data shared with big brother.

my back gets sweaty when i wear backpacks, any recommendations for daysacks that have some kind of ventilation to help with this when i go out for dayhikes?
ideally big enough to hold something a4 in

Below Antarctica are multiple gigantic mountain ranges. Do you think there will ever come a time when humans will finally hike them in all their glory without 1000m of ice being on top of them?

Any ABQ locals around? I'll be passing through next week and am wondering where's the best place to watch the balloons that doesn't require a ticket. I'm willing to hike but from what I can tell from pictures they stay pretty low.

Do you like via ferratas?

In Russia people build these small cabins in the woods without any permits. It's not really illegal but it's not legal also but the forest service don't really mind even though they have all rights to destroy them. It's kind of a grey area when it comes to law about them. And people use fallen trees to make logs for it( can't cut wood in Russia without permission). It's not a private property and anyone can stay in them when they want or need to spend the night of they are too tired to get home. They have wood burning stoves and can be a real life saver when it's cold, you can find some dry food and firewood inside left from the previous visitor and they expect you to do the same if possible for the next guy that comes there. Nothing fancy and not all of them are in their best shape but it's much better than a tent. Not sure about other countries but it's a big NO NO in the west. Also most of them are miles deep into the woods so the local bums can't get there easily and make a mess. Just thought I'd share it.

Some video of some Russian guy doing this .

Hi /out/, first time poster, never even been on this board. I'm writing a short horror story about a man traveling alone on the Great Divide mountain bike route (backwards, starting from New Mexico and ending in Alberta) and have absolutely zero experience in anything mountain biking related. I'm looking for the basics on what any rider should know, maybe some tips on maintenance, or what gear he'd be wearing. Really anything that comes to mind. picrel is a little "cover' I made for it. The "monster" of the story is a mountain lion.

but I actually want to do economically meaningful activities on it.
Must be at least 25 acres and have a water source.
Pls halp.

I would like to hear stories of your disappointing /out/ trips and/or failed group trips.

I just bought a Bussy knife for Autumn outdoor-mans activities.
Is it any good?
I hope it sharpens some tooth picks...

Found last week in an abandoned mine in Maramureș county, northern Romania. The light used is LED.
it can't be bugs because this was kilometers deep inside the mine, only fungi and bacteria here.
I tried asking on reddit but that was of no help (as usual)
What could the species be? Is it an undocumented species or perhaps undocumented behaviour? I couldn't find anything about it. I asked a few university profs. and they also don't knkw what it could be.

I saw on a facebook page for vanlife someone asking if they could make vanlife/rvlife work on 7k a month budget and a ton of people talking about how they currently 'make it work' on like 3-5k a month or whatever and it made me wonder how many of you have tried to vanlife and how much a month do you think you needed to survive while doing it

i see them driving on the highway sometimes but never actually doing their job. the only government officials i've ever seen /out/ were some zoomer interns asking about invasive fish at a marina.

How is the camping culture in the USA ?

Here in the EU, we have many Belgian, Dutch, German, British and French people buying big caravans/campers and evading their shitty weather by spending 6 months on the Mediterranean or Atlantic coasts.
Sometime they also go in the Alps when summer is too hot.

There's also the occasional hikers/cyclers doing a multi weeks pilgrimage/hike and sleeping in tents but they're not common.

The campsites are either municipal or private, some of them only have electricity, pitches and showers. Some of them also have restaurants, bars and grocery stores. There is always someone at the front desk, these areas mostly aren't automated.

The people are usually retirees with enough money to afford such vehicles. How does it work in the USA ?

Hey, I'm trying to transplant duckweed from a nearby stream into my pond, to add forage for my ducks. I'm concerned that the ducks are just going to eat it all before it has a chance to colonize. Any suggestions?

I LOVE NATURE!!!!!

What kind crampons and shoes would you use in this situation? Would ice axes be an overkill?

A perfect day: the fire is burning, the forest is breathing and the only 'cloud' above me is wood smoke, not Google servers. Phone on GrapheneOS, no TikTok, no Insta, no toddler trends. Pure freedom – no one is following me except a few trees and maybe a curious bear. It's peace, control and zero social media stress. This is exactly what offline life should look like.

This will be my third year hunting. The past two seasons the people I was with dressed my game for me. I want to learn how to do it myself. Other than watching how-to videos, any advice for going about it as a beginner?

Post proofs that mountains + water = the best landscape

[Lost Footage]
“...All exits are gone. I’ve tried every hall, every door, but they just lead me back to the same place. I can’t leave. My supply’s almost gone just a swallow of almond water left. I don’t know how long I can keep moving without it. My head’s pounding, my legs are heavy… I think I’m running out of time.

Please, if anyone gets this if anyone’s out there I’m begging you... come find me before the Backrooms do.”

The wet and cold season is upon us, friends.

Do you enjoy hiking in that weather? I certainly do. Although many alpine trails become more dangerous and daylight is scarce, I think that this time of the year makes mother nature even more captivating.
Umbrella, fleece and warm boots ready?

Hello friends.
I'm looking for areas of big contrasts. Things like tall islands; or towns at the base of steep, tall mountains; or places with big holes like giant cenotes.
I'll take anything you've got. I'm trying to put together a list of places that feel surreal to be in.
