What's it like being forcibly sterilized by radiation, anon?

Proof the Earth is round

its always creepy when you get to a spot when a bunch of fallen trees that seem to have fallen for no reason

See all the dead foliage around that equipment? That indicates you probably shouldn't hike there.

You're an embarrassment to yourself.

I have a Ukrainian friend who used to do /out/ tour guide stuff, canoeing, hiking and occasionally took people into "the zone" that was 2016 though, a lot has changed

Pretty spooky. I didn't hear anything that while day. Not even animals moving through that area. Really peaceful day.
I wonder who it was and how they snuck through the bush while obviously being a very heavy set person. Don't know if they were spying on me either, cus the boot prints started out of nowhere, and were leaving the opposite way of me. None went in the direction of my day camp.

AHHHHH OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN MY WILDERNESS I'M GOING INSANE

It wasn't spooky in a paranormal sense. It was spooky in the level of stealth that dude had.
The guy had to have been trying his best, because I heard nothing that entire day. This was also super close to my camp. I'm always super attentive while in the woods.
Don't be a fag.

>>2833993
i think anon was saying its just scary how sneaky some people can be and that he didnt hear or see the guy.

It's creepier when you get to spot where a sheep has been torn apart and its scattered remains are mostly in the surrounding trees, despite there being no predators known for climbing trees local to the area

In the Siskiyous I've been followed by things nearly every time I go deep in the woods there. Most of the time Ican only hear/feel it like the occasional familiar crash of brush and that feeling on the back of my neck like a mountain lion is watching. It's bad enough when I've brought friends up therethey feel it too and we could even simultaneously point in the same direction where it feels like we're being watched from. I can't even take my sog up there without him barking, growling, or shaking. It's the only time I've ever seen him aggressive, he is normally very easy going.

Picrel is just south east of Grayback mountain, one of the eariest areas to hike in Southern Oregon (in my opinion)

That's just some backwoods retard fucking around

i wandered into a live artillery range once.
>nice day, walking around
>ducking under some fences, not uncommon behavior if the fence seems old and abandoned
>"wow, theese fields seem nice and clear"
>hear a car roaring, see it, think "oh no, some farmer got mad at me"
>4 dudes in full military gear jump out
they politely explain to me that i could have been blown the fuck up if i was mistaken for a target

In my basic training we got a rap sometimes during role call for being too obvious at camp at night. Mayor would sneak up on us sometimes and see how far he got. One night a guy went for a shit. Shat right next to the mayor.

>>2834426
You sound like a brit and their big cat conspiracies.

>ducking under some fences,
Which is something you don't do unless you know the area.
Even being an ignorant hick blissfully oblivious to his sorroundings, looking at your GPS probably would give you a slight hint of where you were.

when you see it...

I hope you brought some spare bolts...
