Do you have any friends into /out/ stuff? Do you do /out/ stuff with anyone else? And if so, where did you meet and what do you do? I was watching Failarmy and see all these people doing stuff outside, at lakes, etc. and want that for me

Ask your friends if they want to go in together and get a cabin for the weekend. If you don't have friends then I don't know what to tell you lad

I've slowly drifted away from most of my friends as they've gotten girlfriends, wives, kids, etc. I still speak to them but haven't asked them to hang out in a long time and probably need to make some new friends too. Also don't know how to ask people to hang out without sounding gay

>>2820580
I don't know what to tell you dude. If you don't have friends you don't have friends. Just go by yourself, it's more fun anyway

>>2820589
And what do you do by yourself?

>>2820591
Camp. Jack off in the woods

nope

Yeah, I've got a few friends I go /out/ with. Also my wife.
I'd say about 6 who are fairly into the outdoors - go camping at least a few times a year, will pretty much always say 'yes' if anyone suggests a dayhike or climbing on a weekend and have done at least week+ hiking trips or been on overseas holidays with an expressly outdoor focus.
And maybe about 6-8 who are superficially into the outdoors - they might say yes if anyone suggests going /out/ on the weekend if the weather's good and they don't have anything else on, and they'll usually join in if we're doing a big group camping trip or long weekend at someone's cabin.

Even with the more eager group we're not usually doing anything particularly hardcore by /out/ standards. A bit of camping, hiking, hunting or climbing usually. Sometimes more than that. A few of us have done some fairly long sections of the AT and PCT together as well as mountaineering trips to Nepal and Europe. Sailing and scuba diving too if that counts.

We met at uni. Of the core 6, I met 3 through the uni rpg club and 3 through classes.

I also go /out/ with my mum fairly often. Mostly just dayhikes but we might do something longer to celebrate her getting through chemo. Maybe one of those hut-to-hut hikes in Switzerland.

>>2820574 (OP)
where do you get adventurous frens? I just gave up on my job and as result I'll have free fall/winter. I would love to do some epic /out/ hike in europe - to get lost in carpathian mountains for at least 2 weeks. Doing it alone is not exactly what I should do as boomer rookie...

Seconding this

Where did you meet them and your wife?

>We met at uni. Of the core 6, I met 3 through the uni rpg club and 3 through classes.
For the people I met through the rpg club, two of them were just people who happened to end up in the same campaign in my first year of med school, one of the guys was coincidentally in the MD program with me. I count my wife as the third of the three I met through that club, she wasn't a part of it but a girl in the group introduced us at a party some time later.
For the three I met through classes, sat next to one of them back in the first week of lectures. She introduced me to the other two who were her friends from high school or scouts or something.

I wish I had better social skills, and it appears the school poster from /adv/ was right

>>2820574 (OP)
Parents met in a scout group and like /out/ing once in a while
I went to the same scout group for +15 years and have a couple of friends that I can go caping with (we almost never meet anymore cause laziness but the possibility is there)
My closest friend group are nerds/otakus who, it's very difficult to convince them to leave the city.
Cousins live in the same town and we explore the surrounding wilderness sometimes

You just have to be lucky anon

>>2822877
While luck and circumstances beyond your control are big factors, you still need to put effort in to make friends with similar interests and bond with them. I feel people just aren't as outgoing as they used to be even ten years ago.

If I was considering moving out west, how do you go about meeting new people and making new friends?
