So they've banned all hiking and camping entirely until october 15th in my province in canada to prevent "forest fires" do I just get a stool and a rope what do I even do anymore.

I think I wouldn't go for a mountain with death rate above 1/500

Is Kilimanjaro the highest easy mountain in the world?

sheltered neet american newfag looking to travel to the netherlands for as cheap as possible. my impression is my best bet would be sleeping in a tent just far enough from civilization but i'm absolutely clueless about this shit. i expect it to be hard as fuck and uncomfortable for my babied suburban ass but i'm willing to face this head on and as stupid as it sounds try my best. any of you want to enlighten me on stupid mistakes to avoid like what kind of tent, backpack, sleeping bag, etcetera to get, what to watch out for, that kind of thing? i'm under the impression a visa isn't a problem since they let americans into the country no questions asked for 90 days at a time as long as they don't work. i'm considering trying to stay in hotels/hostels for a couple days and buying supplies in the netherlands but that might be stupid maybe i should just buy my stuff here before i leave. also i'd prefer to buy something from a brick n mortar store over amazon if possible

I will be following the footsteps of an older close friend of mine who went /out/ing in Africa in the 80s after he ran away from home at 17.
We met on similar desolate paths elsewhere and I learned much from him when it comes to approach and attitude to make a journey that doesn't rely on money to get you to your destinations. But, I had never dared to go to a place like Africa before talking to him.

But, I will need some modern preparations such as the ability to make e-Visas, what power plugs are used, where to avoid insurgent or militia ruled areas, etc.
Is there any better source than https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Main_Page
Any personal experiences and advice is also welcome.

>inb4 go /out/ing in your backyard like we always do
No

I have a 5-hectare homestead in Argentina. The homestead doesn't have a perimeter fence, so I can't control the weeds with livestock (nor do I want to be tied down with having to take care of cattle), and due to natural succession, weeds quickly begin to form in spring, followed by saplings, and then small trees, which is undesirable because it becomes increasingly expensive to clear an area to prevent it from becoming a jungle. I've seen all kinds of solutions, such as a gas-powered weed whacker (I already have two, but it's a lot of effort), a zero-turn mower (too expensive), a tractor with hammer-type or machete-type brush cutter, an ATV with a pull-along mower, a wheel-mounted hammer or blade brush cutter... and finally, another idea is to plant corn or other annuals in big areas after weeding to combat the weeds by letting corn compete with them. I honestly like Mark Shepard's homestead system, but I don't have much energy. Perhaps I need testosterone injections, not ironically? What problems does TRT have? What general recommendations do you have? I love living in the countryside, but it's quickly becoming a jungle instead of a diverse prairie.

My dream out location is Peru

What can realistically be done to help preserve and protect it from deforestation? I’m talking concrete solutions, not just “vote” or “let your voice be heard”
Which charities are the most honest and most effective? I don’t want my money going towards buying someone a private jet.

As for me, it's the Osprey Nebula

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

Would I be able to cross this ford in a hatchback that has 4wd?

Wtf? If you just stayed still everything would have been fine but you have to try and give me a heart attack.
Fuck you, im hunting these fuckers now.

I'm looking for a good all around camp axe for fire wood maybe some tent pegs and also general cutting. Should I better look for a specific brand or anything will do just fine?

How the hell are you gonna judge me for bringing a generator to the campsite then go sleep in your sleeping bag and tent?

Which grade of trail do you like the most?

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?

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.

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.
