PSA careful when walking around in the underbrush. i stepped on a fallen wasp's nest while bushwacking yesterday and as expected they were not happy with the intrusion..

I'm an effeminate gay and I instinctively scream like a girl when encountering any manner of flying buzzing large insect let alone wasps/hornets.

I was hiking at the Edge of Appalachia preserve to the main overlook there (recommended, but not in mid-summer), and the "shortcut way" (saves .4 mi rt) took you right through a bunch of holes in the ground that apparently are where hornets live and I really pissed them off but they didn't sting me thank god and I was freaking out. Tried to go around them on the way back.

Them bastards build a nest in my gas cap cover thing, when I opened it they flew out and one gave me a sting on the thumb

Wasps built a largish nest under my front steps. I only noticed it while I was mowing the lawn. At least 5 of them stung me before I got away.

For a lifetime spent outdoors I have yet to get stung by any bee or wasp so i live in fear that its the worst thing ever

It's not really that bad, it hurts a bit when they sting then if you don't put some after bite on it, it swells up and gets itchy. If you treat it quickly it is almost nothing.

I got stung twice by bees or fucking something as a kid and had an allergic reaction both times - I mean I got stung a lot more than that as a little kid just didn't have a bad reaction except twice
once near my eye got stung and my eye swelled up and couldn't really see out of one of them when I was maybe 7 and then like 2-3 years later at summer camp my leg got stung and it basically paralyzed one leg for a week and I was limping and almost needed crutches.
Bees are no joke.

We used to get nests around the house a lot growing up. When I was about 6 we had one that was at least the size of a basketball way up in a tree, and rather than wait for it to randomly fall into the yard and kill me my dad hoisted a jug of gasoline up at the end of a long stick and doused it, and then hoisted up a burning rag. PHWUMP the whole thing went up like sun and the poor buggers had no chance.

Many years later we had a nest of particularly pissed off yellerjackets build a nest in our stonewall and they went after my cat one day. She was fine in the end, just a swollen cheek, but I fucking destroyed those motherfuckers with pickerel.

Lit it, shoved it in the hole, and dropped a big rock on top. Always have additional rocks on hand to block any alternative exits if they appear. I got stung on the arm but literally only like 3 hornets escaped and the rest of them fucking choked. The ants were extricating their baby larva out of the nest and carrying them off for the next two days

How does an effeminate gay get into hiking, presumably alone? Most women who are actually into the outdoors are not the most feminine among women, so then, how does the most feminine among men do it? This sissy hiker is so into hiking that he has sought out an obscure website to post about it. This story is fishy.

I've been totally excluded from society for being gay, but nature cannot really exclude you - it just tries to kill you in its own way. It's just nice to look at pretty places if nobody will talk to me.

>>2830117
I've never been stung and I fear that I'll get stung and have an allergic reaction in the middle of nowhere and die

surely there's some way you can get tested for bee allergies without actually getting stung and experiencing the life-threatening wrath

That's the most believable part.
Have you seen the complete faggotry that roams around 4chan?
He probably found 4chan way before he went full gay fag sissy. If he keeps roaming 4chan soon he'll troon out, just wait and see.

>>2830203
I'd never troon out!

no, you've been excluded because you have glaring personality issues you've used your sexuality to avoid reflecting on and making really changes.
being gay doesn't mean you have to be a massive faggot.
