if you got the chance to go /out/ing for a week in a carboniferous forest, would you take it, or would you not have the BALLS?

Anyone use dog hiking packs? What do you bring along?

For those who are ever gonna hike in Poland, I ranked all 11 mountain ranges I've ever been to from the best to the worst. I enjoyed all of them but I enjoyed some of them more than other ones.

1. Tatra Mountains
2. Table Mountains
3. Kraków-Częstochowa Upland (not officially mountains but I live nearby and I'm biased)
4. Żywiec Beskid
5. Giant Mountains
6. Pieniny Mountains
7. Silesian Beskid
8. Bieszczady Mountains (might be ranked above Silesian Beskid if there was any avaliable parking lot near the highest peak but unfortunately every parking lot was already taken)
9. Opawskie Mountains
10. Gorce Mountains
11. Holy Cross Mountains

You're about to sleep in your tent and you start to hear thunder. What do?

Will going /out/ cure my depression?

*flies into your soup*
*drowns*

Hey /out/,

anyone here into ham radio? looking to get into the hobby. share your experiences, tips and tricks.

My wife doesn't 'dislike' going camping but her list of needs for when we do go camping is so long and restrictive that it makes camping a total pain in the ass, especially organizing the trip.

It can't be:
>Too hot
>Too dry
>Too rainy
>Too high in elevation
>Too many bugs
>Too remote
>Too quiet
>Too minimal
>Too far away

Basically rules out about 75% of spots you could ever camp at. We still manage to go out a few times a year but Jesus, if you guys ever get married make sure you are aware of all this stuff before you do. And to top it off she gets really upset when I suggest going by myself. If you really love going /out/ more than anything in the world consider staying single bros.

The majority of camping gear we buy is just Chinese imported gear with a couple assembled parts locally to slap on a Made In X country tag and mark up the price by 3 times.

What is some gear you've bought from Chinese websites that turned out to be the same thing you could find locally, just cheaper or Chinese gear that turned out better than expected?

Flashlights, tents, sleeping gear, backpacks, tools?

My Osprey Stratos 24 is larger than my Osprey Manta 36. Do they just make up the numbers?

So, what kinda patrol box do you have?

Here's what I have so far:

- Water Filters
- Bulk non-perishable food
- First-Aid Kit
- Tent / Tarp
- Fire Kit
- Flashlight
- Multitool
- Shotgun
- Extra Ammo for trading
- Radio
- Cash / Gold
- Maps
- Garmin GPS

Does anyone else do this?

Looking for a new chainsaw to do some trail maintenance and clearing occasional storm damage. Thinking about going cordless this time so i dont have to deal with the fumes when the saw sit at the back of my car all the time. Can they handle big trees if i got enough batteries? Anyone here owns one and can give some insight?

>Gardening, farming and related activities

Hello outers, I guess this can be asked here as I found pic related in a shed in my garden. That ball of yellow anger was sleeping soundly so I could take a picture, but how can I get rid of them? Gasoline? Some kind of spray? I'll ambush them at night just to be sure but I'll hear your suggestions. Thanks.

Hello /out/ I'm planning a trip in september to meet with a girl, I was looking for any cool abandon places, scenic trails, or some cool unmarked spots that she would enjoy her time on!
Thank you for any suggestions!

That said, Luray VA is the most slept-on /out/ town in the Eastern US
>normie-tier nearby: Skyline Drive and Shenandoah NP to the east
>innawoods-tier: George Washington NF and the Massanutten Trail network to the west
>kayak/fish/float the South Branch Shenandoah River
>massive caverns are the main tourist attraction in town

Are kelp forests the next best thing if you ever want to visit an alien planet?

Outing if there was no mosquitoes and ticks

Please for the love of God tell me there’s a chink shit alternative or someplace that sells these at cheaper prices. Or better yet, an alternative for stealth camping

This has to be the most subhuman behavior in the hiking community. It's orders of magnitude worse than boombox hikers although I'm sure there's some overlap there.

I've been hiking in this one park for over ten years and the last 2 weeks I've seen an unprecedented amount of trash someone else left behind. Water bottles, cigarette butts, food wrappers etc. I took it upon myself to clean up what I could (yes I did it for free) and filled up 2 plastic bags worth of trash both last Friday and today. This is a 5.5 mile loop that I'm used to seeing maybe 1 or 2 bottles on. I usually assume it was dropped by accident and take it with me without thinking much of it.

There are trash and recycling bins at the fucking trailhead. Some people apparently just can't be fucked to carry their trash for 2 hours. It's not just an eyesore it's terrible for the ecosystem that surrounds the trail.

I'm not sure what to do. Maybe if I talk to the park office they'll pay me money to clean up the trails.

>be me camping with family.
>everything going good until first night
>starts raining hard, outside under a tarp so everybody is dry.
>gets dark so we go into tent.
>tent is fucking flooding.
>the rainfly isn't holding back any of the water and dam near everything is wet.
>still try to go to sleep but cant because cold water is dripping on my head for hours.
>doesnt stop raining.
>eventually its 2am and someone gets a flash flood warning on my phone.
>look outside tent
>fucking river of water outside.
>tell everyone we need to gtfo.
>hill we can drive up i think.
head to other side of campsite in my under soaking wet with gun in left hand and flashlight in the right.
>try to find others, they were already in there car ready to go.
>all drive up the hill in different cars
>head back down after an hour. its about 2am now.
>nothing is dry anymore.
>mfw when if i had checked the weather like I was asked before going camping this could have all been avoided.

always check the weather before camping anons

I just realized almost all dem wyte folks that I have seen fishing be releasing dey fish after the catch even when its a nice catfish or bass.
Why Don't yall crakkkaz eva be eatin dem fish??

Any car dwellers here?

What’s your car and setup? Or what would be if you were to do it.
I’ve been in the Prius for 2 years now, but I’m kind of wanting a 4Runner, it’s just the gas bit kills me for them.
I was also considering an Outback

What are some good places to hike/camp here? I can drive.

Is it ever possible to end mass clear cut logging and restore some of the natural forest?
I’m specifically talking about the PNW where it’s clear cut and tree farms as far as the eye can see.
As beautiful as rainier and the redwoods are, it really detracts from the experience when you have to drive through hundreds of miles of clear cut just to get to the parks
I know it will take hundreds of years for the old growth level coastal forests to regenerate but will the process ever be started?

/out/ bros, how do I get a cute hiker gf

Can't stop jerking off in the forest

>go backpacking
>walk for a few hours in a random direction
>go through some fences, completely oblivious
>end up in Chernobyl
mfw

I fucking love nature
(Put cig out in empty monster can, can is in bag, I don’t litter)

> be me
> like 15 years ago
> exploring our land (there's like 10 square km)
> in the middle of dense forest, kilometers out
> find giant marble statue, like nearly two stories tall
> it's of jesus
> see a fucking angel

was i high? i was pretty young when this happened so i don't remember everything

(image similar to what i found)

Furry nigga on the left was so mad at me. You can just barely see her tongue in the pic but she was blowing raspberries at me.

Seems like most people just go out in “nature” (easily accessible walkpath that you can drive to) so they can “look” (take instagram pictures) of the “nature” (cool looking rocks). They don’t give a fuck about actually preserving nature or protecting wildlife or letting nature exist for the sake of it existing.
>take car into paved road into national park
>park in paved parking lot in pristine area
>walk on crowded trail
>wait in line to take picture
>leave
>cross it off their “bucket list”
>leave
>”wow, national park was breathtaking”
Just look how fucking mad the mountain biking “community” got when they were told they couldn’t bring their disruptive hobby into wilderness areas anymore.
Look how fucking mad the instagram “community” got when they were told they couldn’t trample wildflowers anymore for their photos.
Look how fucking mad the Europeans get over the fact that some US nature isn’t “easily accessible” (we don’t have a train that takes you to the top of the mountain)
Look how people hate on places like the Everglades or Indiana sand dunes, saying they “shouldn’t be national parks” because there aren’t photogenic rock structures to pose under.
Nature needs to be gatekept harder. It needs to be less accessible and there should be vast swaths of wild set aside where NOBODY can go. We need to preserve these lands for the sake of the wildlife and biodiversity. Fuck your Instagram pictures, you’re trampling the foliage and degrading the rocks. Fuck your backpacking, you’re creating human habitat and leaving fucking trash all over the place. Fuck your 4 wheelers and mountain bikes and fucking speakers blasting music.
Nobody understands the actual importance of nature, they just feel entitled to go into it and disrupt it and take pictures of it.
Pic related, the Appalachian trail, americas “premier wilderness hiking trail” where you cross a road or parking lot on average every 3 miles

I used to think that Madagascar was a mysterious island full of strange endemic species and dense exotic forests
Turns out the island is over 97% deforested and all the native wildlife is confined to tiny national parks dotted around the island while the rest of the land is slashed and burned to sustain a useless third world population and to line the checkbooks of foreign corporations
Really shattered my world view. There truly is no wild space left in the world

Anyone else just got into hiking to flex their wealth on the less fortunate? I legitimately love going into the mountains and flex my full arcteryx fits on people, I don't even like hiking.

I'm going to confess. I don't hunt for food. Not for sport either. I like the killing. I'm so ashamed I'm like this. Everytime I kill an animal, I feel so alive. Isn't this wrong and immoral? This is murder and I'm enjoying every moment of it. I don't even use the carcasses. I just leave them for the vultures. When the season's over, I just feel hollow. I've been fined for shooting into my local pond for trying to shoot the fish. Do other hunters feel like this?

https://abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics/wireStory/ranger-fired-hanging-transgender-flag-yosemite-park-visitors-124797614

They found who hung the flag and fired “them.” The flag was a big news story to outdoor enthusiasts, as it took place in one of the most iconic national park on the planet. It violates both laws pertaining to the outdoors (protesting inside of national parks) as well as LNT principles. It also involves a well known outdoor internet celebrity: Pattie Gonia.

>Among the climbers who helped hang the transgender flag was Pattie Gonia, an environmentalist and drag queen who uses the performance art to raise awareness of conservation issues. For the past five years, Gonia has helped throw a Pride event in Yosemite for park employees.

Wtf /out/, I thought normalfags would go back to their urban shitholes after the coof was over.

Living in a town where bears roam around more lately, would you still go for walks? The locals do. The thing is that I don't have a vehicle and just walk places with my 2 little ones if husband is out of town and takes our car. This year is awful berries wise so bears are just hungry. Bears don't even care about noise or seeing people. I feel absolutely terrible keeping my little ones indoors all day long. My husband has to travel lots so those are quite a few days just the three of us here. I am even wondering if there is something I could wear, a kind of structure where I pull a string and something could pop up making me look huge. I feel like the worst mama ever, just keeping our kiddos inside. Even going to the playground behind our place makes me nervous.

Why aren't there any travel vloggers who just do aimless walkabouts across some country to the most random villages or towns and drinking beer along the way?

You got them fired

Me and the wife gonna cook em up come September. I'll be glad once their gone, got pig slop all around my door an its nasty

How do I learn fishing?

I only find the energy to go hiking if I haven't ejaculated for multiple days prior, but as soon as I've started walking through the woods and hills alone and unbothered, my eyes start scanning for chill places to jerk off. Why does the breeze on my bare skin make it feel so much better? I don't even need hardcore pornography to scoot, but afterwards all I want to do is go back home and sleep.

Can I get some recommendations for a good flashlight that won't cost an arm and a leg?

Also Flashlight/Torch General, I guess.

Mine is my jungle bag. It’s been with me on almost all my adventures. Sleeping bag, blanket, poncho, it’s done it all.

I have really big thick calluses on my heels from hiking all the time, and sometimes I find it reddit r slash oddly heccin satisfying to whittle off big chunks of them.

Has going /out/ helped you get chicks?

Shark hootery!
>mozzarella
>sun dried tomatoes
>bacon

Some tabasco on for fun.
