Thread for discussion of out door activities in israel

My kids saw a screech owl on my property so I thought he might want to have a place to call /in/
Now I want to make houses for all my /out/door friends. Different birds, bats, friendly /out/door kitties, turtles?

Who else here has autumn as their fave season?
>September is perfect weather wise. Not too hot, not too cold, never any extremes in September where I'm from. Sun sets at a good time not too early, not too late
>October has Halloween
>November has Thanksgiving

Hello /out/!

Have any of you taken any outdoor courses of any discipline? I would be really interested in taking something that would be beneficial to outings like they experience on Alone, purely out of interest and curiosity. I'm a 30+ burger so I feel like I'm kinda too old for NOLS but any experiences you guys have would be interesting.

Ran into a guy that did this, he had a lot of great things to say about it

Where are all the mushrooms edition?

What is the thinnest /out/ glove technology available today?

Just ordered the largest head mounted umbrella I could find. Are they any good?

I need a very simple headlamp with a single function that can be very easily turned on and off
No flash mode, no dimmer, no red light, no other bullshit.
I need a single light function and a very simple on/off switch with no stupid modes in between. preferably a slider switch.
Show me what you got

Best way to /out/ in winter is ski touring.
Prove me Wrong
>most efficient form of mountain transport
>Fun as fuck on the downhill
>Cost of touring setup and avy gear keeps the poors out
>High fitness and skill requirements keep the /in/lets out
>Faster, easier and more fun that snowshoes on the way up
>Powder skiing on the way down
>No trails needed to get up the mountain, meters of snow cover all bush and vegation so you can pick whatever path you want
>no rock fall
>snowpacks are incredibly complex and interesting to learn about
>spatial distribution of snowpack variability in mountains makes for constant intellectual game of knowing where risky/bad snow is and avoiding those areas
>like hiking, but with way more thinking, and more independance
>great workout
>powder skiing

Why the fuck don't you ski tour anon? Don't tell me you're a flatlander...

What kind of music do you guys play around the campfire? I like either electronic or hip hop, the fire actually looks really trippy with the beats

Is there a more boring ecosystem out there?

What are some /out youtubers that i can watch and learn from

Look at this giant mushroom

What's the biggest threat when you're /out/? A wild animal or a homeless tweaker?

>be me
>plan to buy camper to live in friends backyard
>midwest but i probably will not stay in it thru winter

Anything I should lookout for? Obviously i want a maintained roof and no prior leaks.
Im looking at 4-6000 campers right now and wondering if I might as well drop 8-12k
I already have an outdoor kitchen,
Maybe I will build a roof or porch for it.
Any advice or considerations on buying and also living in an older camper?

Hey /out/, what should I do if I get stung by a scorpion while camping? I’m often far from medical help, and they won’t sell me antivenom, i already asked a lot of places.
I remember hearing about a plant that works against scorpion venom about 15 years ago, but I can’t remember the name. Does anyone know about this or have alternativetreatments?

>shields you from the sun and rain
>easily paired with a beanie for warmth or bug net for bug freedom
>makes 5 panel retards look even more gay
why don't you wear it?

I'm thinking of going to Big Sur for a week around Christmas time. How could I get the most out of my trip there? I would be coming from the South.

You can't see anything from a car; you've got to get out of the goddamn contraption and walk, better yet crawl, on hands and knees, over the sandstone and through the thornbrush and cactus. When traces of blood begin to mark your trail, you'll see something, maybe.

Anon, in order to help you /out/doors, what are you placing in your Altoids tin can?

Why can't you build a multi-lane divided highway to Everest base camp and then build a plexiglass enclosed heated road to the very top so people don't have to risk DYING to see the views?

Have you ever heard about canyoning?

mesh cap or field cap?

Callng all certified hydration baddies to discuss the merits of bring a micro-hydro while going /out/

>goes innawoods avoiding law enforcement for almost half a year
>was actually dead the entire time spending only one week in the washington wilderness
so that's it isn't it, there's no way modern man can ever make it in the wild ever again

There is nothing more retarded and gay than "stealth camping".
>im camping behind a road sign or in a trash can
Nobody cares stupid faggot

How awful of an experience are trailer tents?

>ascends Mountain without proper gear
>don't tell anyone when you plan to return
>disoriented by blizzard

>dies of hypothermia three hours walk from a road

Because you can see the top from the road, i think people get the impression they can just walk in and out, without really understanding the weather conditions at the top, and how quickly they can change. Never good news.

is it possible to do simple navigation (north, south, east and west) via looking at stars? if so what is a good guide to it?
t. only goes outdoors to pick berries and afraid to get lost in the forest

Just had a tpwd game warden roll up on me and search everything outside of my cab and then try to insinuate I was a drug addict because I had a vape pen. He was probably 25.

Look I never voted for Trump and I think some of his ideas are good. But why are Texas game wardens rolling up on niggers?

Post cool petroglyphs from your area. i'll start.theres cup marks pecked into the boulders all over the beach here, most were underwater today and even these two i had to wade into waist deep 10 degree water (naked no less..) to get the photo

>b-b-but there's no fall colors out west
Is there a bigger east coastlet cope?

Didn't know if this was fit for /trv/ or here, anyways

Iraqi photographer - soon to be backpacking my ass all the way throughout Central Asia alone, India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, will probably be camping in the wilderness a lot to get new pictures, the target is somehow getting to Tibet or the Sufi villages in the north of India at some point....

I need help with:
1. What kind of solar-powered battery pack do I buy? Something portable, I need it to power a small electric stove for boiling water, and a charger for a phone and DSLR, nothing more I think, let's try to stick under 500$? The fewer bucks I spend the better

2. I am thinking of buying a Samsung phone with a stylus for note-taking, it'd save me having to bring paper and run out of it, and I'll probably have a spare Chinese cheap stylus just in case I lose the original: what mirrorless bands do I look out for on the phone? What regional model should I buy so I don't get stranded like a dumbass when I try to phone somebody for help?

Easily the most underrated /out/ state. It's funny how so many people just think Nevada is a desert

It's ski season. How do you protect your skis from theft if you leave them on the hill?

What are some relatively easy 2500-3500 m mountains in Europe?

Going out with friends, socializing, having fun, making memories, forging meaningful connections and getting ahead in life, while you are here shitposting about some hunting gear bullshit nobody cares about on a beautiful autumn's weekend. Any last words anon before you inevitably end it?

Does anyone else use these things as a stand-in for a sleeping bag? I carry a lightweight fleece blanket too, which hardly ways anything, and I am very warm even in winter if I sleep in my coat. It makes me wonder why I kept carrying that cumbersome and much heavier bag around when it would hardly ever fit in my bag.

With the McCandless blanket you can save weight and a lot of space.

What are the logistics of moving from the United Kingdom and building a cabin/house in Alaska?

Y'all niggas ever seen an actual in the woods honey comb like in Yogi Bear?

Anyone ever build an underground shelter, bunker, cabin? Out in the woods? Tell me about it.

I dug up a 60ft by 4 and a half feet pit to build a bunker/tunnel in and would love ideas.

There's drama in my local hiking facebook group, they got called out for throwing trash in the woods, and now they're threatening to sue the Karen that called them out online. What's /out/ opinion on this? Who's right and who's wrong?

The only person that should recognize me is the cashier in the grocery store, after my purchasements I disappear in the woods or in a cave. What do I need for that? A bag of shekels? Jew gold that I wear on my chest?

I am so sick of humanzees.

Got a complete Tasco 1959 7TE 60mm Refractor in original box with all accessories along with a whole bunch of books with some other stuff for $20.
