I’m so happy to live next to Stanley park. Every moment I am free I walk the sea wall, cycle, walk through trails, bird watch. The heron population is doing good and there are places with schools of fish you can see and you can watch the herons sniping them out of the water. So relaxing desu. But I wore a gold necklace for a week in the sun and not I have a necklace shaped lobster burn on my neck

What a fake photo.
"So I said 'listen Jack, if you're not going to wear a rubber, you're not fucking my butthole!" to which he laughed loudly and raped my ass anyway, which I always intended.
"I hear you. I buggered the 4runner salesman who sold me this $75,000 SUV that should cost less than half that. Fucked him right in the coat closet at the dealership."
"yeah, we sure are two very gay guys,"
"Should we light this fire?"
"No, we're just here for the photo shoot. We don't even know who lives here, but we're going to go try to have gay sex with him afterwards."
"That's great. I sure do like men's butts and penises."
"I do too, buddy. Hey, you want a quick blowjob?"
"You know it! Don't forget to finger my ass."
"Never"

Sorry to burst your bubble but >>510448140 was typed by brown hands

Stanley park is amazing. I swear the animals like human interaction because the seals always play along the sea wall where people watch them, the herons position themselves close to crowds so people can watch them, crows hang around people and will hop around within feet of you- even seagulls will swim around the area when they are in leisure mode. It’s funny but I think human and animal recreation happens there. Whenever I see seagulls and geese there they are either chilling in the sun or floating around like ducks. So peaceful.

Plus cycling there first thing in the morning when you can rip through even the tourist trails before it gets too hot… so nice

>>510449001
ever hear of Stealth Camping?
stop going to theme park camp sites and experience some real adventure off the beaten path ya mong.

I have a cabin in the upper peninsula of Michigan in God's country. It's a home base for me while I get back to nature. I also work on the cabin for shit to do. I need things comfy, cozy. I'm not sleeping inna woods attractive bears to come kill me.

Brown hands.. do brown people really not find nature relaxing?

>>510449333
It looks amazing. It's always funny to visit the places where human and animal interaction has peacefully existed for so long that the animals lose some of the learned caution in those places.

>>510449390
Why would you need stealth unless you're camping adjacent to the beaten path, and don't want to get caught, because you aren't supposed to be there? Looks like you're camping in your neighbor's back yard. That old christmas tree isn't a natural occurrence.

>>510449390
That's a nice knife, though. What kind is it?

>>510449810
I find the way the birds socialize also fascinating. Pic related are cormorants and they always hand out with seagulls in Stanley park

>>510447950 (OP)
The fucking mosquitos are terrible out here. Every time I go outside, I come back in looking like I caught a disease. It's also hot as fuck out here. Like 90f at night. Plus, rain, flooding, all sorts of inclement weather. I'm thinking of homesteading to gtfo of the city and just enjoy growing fruits & vegetables. That's enough camping for me.

>>510449559

Are bears sexy in the UP? I've only ever seen the northern wisconsin black bears. They're pretty sexy, too.

>>510449810
It’s almost beyond lost caution but I think birds actually hunt outside the park and go there for recreation. Geese and seagulls in recreation mode just float around like ducks and lay on the beach getting sun. When they are in survival mode they are hanging outside my office digging through garbage bins. I think they eat garbage and then go to the park to relax

>>510450084
I spent some time photographing pelicans in Florida one year, and they don't run from people. I found myself inching ever closer with the camera, to the point where they try to bite the lens. I inch closer with my view through the lens, so I don't realize I'm only inches away from them.
Cormorants are neat.

Watching nature in general is great, but I think bird watching is especially dear to many because you don't have to do a lot of moving around. There aren't a lot of "slow bird days." You can be relatively inactive, drive out somewhere a specific bird is reported to be, and you'll have plenty of watching to do. There are a lot of places all up and down the Mississippi and most of the larger rivers where bald eagle watching is a seasonal, though dependable activity. Hundreds of bald eagles all in one place.

>>510449001
I have never experienced this. Choose better campsites. Faggot.

>>510447950 (OP)
Damnit, I wanna. Just can't find the time or place to just get away from it all.

>>510447950 (OP)
I live in the middle of the forest close to a river so I dont need to larp as a camper.

>>510451194
Hahaha. No worries.
I have to admit, that doesn't look like some place I'd want to wake up. The logistics of the first shit of the morning are baffling, especially with a companion. I'd rather see dense woods as far as the eye can reach. Lots of places to poop. When you hit middle age, pooping becomes a major factor of your comfort.

>>510451061
Try a colder climate. Bugs generally hate the cold and mosquitos die at 50°F

>>510451227
Honestly even watching crows fight, watching them drop shells to open them, watching birds bathe in the water, ducks floating around. Herons you usually see a few of but eagles are the very rare ones to see because their nests are so high and they’re not social with humans. Ducks want to show off their babies to humans but eagles hide- at least here

>>510447950 (OP)
Camping gear is expensive just like fishing gear. Unless you do it twice month it's not worth. It's only enjoyable when the weather is nice and outright miserable when it's cold, raining or sweltering. Also if it' mosquito season, enjoy getting eaten alive. I used to do camping thinking I could get away from it all for a three day weekend. What found is that once you're in your late thirties it becomes too exhausting to be enjoyable. Camping takes a lot of energy. I found that whenever I got back I was totally exhausted and needed a day to sleep and rest before returning to work. That's not a vacation. It's a weekend devoted to physical labor. Also it's a waste of time. You're not getting anything done in your home when you're fucking off with a campfire in the woods. I found that it wasn't helping me with bettering my life. It was a burden that drained my money, time and energy. At the end of it, it just made my life more miserable.

>>510451548
My favorites are loons. I have many memories of fishing unpopulated waters, just me and a few friends on still waters with fishing poles, watching a loon dive and pop up 100 feet away, and that cry is haunting. Incredible birds.

>>510451759
Walking in nature is easier. You get sun, expertise and go home and wake
Up with a tan. I’m lucky where I am there are no flies or mosquitoes so I the summer you can walk and birdwatch with no hassle

>>510448140
I was camping once and a fat creepy dude walked up to my site like 20 meters away and grabbed his nuts and left a pink post it on the ground with a phone number that said COCK RELEASE no I don't have it anymore I'm a nigger retard and I gave it to the ranger

>>510451759
>Camping gear is expensive just like fishing gear.
Do you recall when it wasn't?
There was a time.
Both camping and fishing gear have grown in cost exponentially, despite cheap labor producing it all. I found a receipt for fishing lures yesterday from the 90s. $1.99, $1.99, $2.39... etc. They're $10 on clearance now for the types of lures I have. The costs of the gear have risen 500%. Has your pay?

>>510452001
Man, sorry about that. I was drinking. I don't even like dudes. I was drinking straight liquid G that day.

>>510452001
Gross. At Stanley park homos go there at night to give each other siphilis. During the day it’s great but at night… homos will walk up to you and say weirdo shit. Even homeless are scared to sleep their at night because goody bandits will prowl around looking to rape sleepers

I go walking up to around 9pm and have never had any weirdo shut happen but once it gets dark….

>>510449099
Lmao. Are you sure you didn't stumble upon a scarecrow or effigy of some kind? Their are lots of spooky ass people out in the deep woods though speaking from experience. I've happened across all kinds of strange shit out there, most notably something that was clearly a sacrificial altar of some kind surrounded by four stone "gateways" with strange runic markings carved into them. After studying the area for about 5 minutes I started hearing dogs barking and hightailed outta there.

I'm 47 and sleeping in the ground is a reset for my back, get a great sleep and when I get back to comfort my body both appreciates it and doesn't complain as much. Bring the wife and kids and a inflatable paddleboard to a lake in the middle of nowhere and you've got heaven.
Love tenting, have a fifth wheel but would rather go tent in a place with no power because those are the best spots and they are all but empty now.
Human beings really are cucked, which means the places further a field are reverting to what they used to be: pristine free and human corruption.

Imagine the mind set of leaving the city to go into nature, only to bring a $50000 home away home you need a $50000 vehicle to pull, and surround yourself with 'like minded' strangers. Like moving into a different cul-de-sac for a weekend and pretending you're camping.
Retarded.

>>510452761
No way.
I mean, it's definitely not sleeping weather, but the everglades would be amazing to explore. You can harvest anaconda and python skins and meat all day long without a permit. If I'm not mistaken, there are a few other invasive species you can harvest with a rampage-like blood lust for death and violence, and the state will say "thanks."
I mean, if you're into that. Seems like you could benefit from a nearly unlimited resource with no competition, no matter what it is. Even sand has buyers. Anaconda skins have to have some value.

>>510454539
In some places, not bringing at least a mosquito net means you're going to wake up with hundreds of mosquito bites. Also, the morning dew can be pretty annoying. I respect the effort and the adventure of what you do, but it's not universally practical. That said, nobody needs a five-room cabin tent that you can walk upright in.

>>510455031
I have one just like that. After a few months the poles broke, I fixed them but iffy. Then it picked up mildew. Now I use and 8x10 polypropylene tarp in burrito fashion. For some reason bugs are never an issue if you stay away from human settlements and take some care with site selection and timing. If it rains I sleep sitting in Hilux driver's seat. Being able to sleep in the seat means I can sleep anywhere for an hour or two. I never have to worry where I will spend the night. (Those tents need soft enough ground for pegs, that cuts out a lot of sites)

>>510455399
That looks so miserable to me. The very fact that anyone can steal what you have is unpleasant to me. If I could trust my neighbors, I'd do it for fun; set up a modern canvas paradise on 400 square feet of abandoned parking lot with a courtyard and power and a composting shitter and air conditioning. If your neighbors could be trusted, the fucking yuppies would turn urban adventure camping into a billion dollar industry like they did with RVs.

I have a head net, used it twice when I chose a bad site. Slept badly. Should have moved. Tonight I'm going to try sleeping on this picrel bench in a seclude nature reserve.

T.- someone with really bad back injuries both from the rigs and a 2 year stint as a tunnel laborer.

Sleeping in a tent should be a yearly thing every man does, with their wife and kids or in their own, that they come to enjoy for what it actually is: a reminder of the best possible reality from human history, feeling safe, content, and at one with nature while living within it.

there is only a few 'designated camping spots' in this country where you can make an open fire and camp for free. those places are gay as fuck and you never know if they are already occupied before you arive

what is straight liquid G?

>>510457150
Liquid G is one of the date rape drugs that isn't a roofie. A sip of it is like a six pack of beer. You just get really, really drunk, but you're still moving to an extent. It's one of those things scumbags will give a girl and then "walk her home" because she got too drunk. I've never knowingly had any myself, honestly, but I've woken up naked with a woman I don't recall going to bed with the night before, and I suspect her drink was spiked by someone, and I vaguely recall one of those "Here, have some of my drink" scenarios you have with drunk chicks. You lose memory and immediately act like you've been drinking heavily for hours.

Isn't your country tiny and densely inhabited? You might have to travel a little to find a spot. There are huge areas of this country that are uncampable. Sometimes I drive 400 kms to find a nice place. Sleeping in the driver's seat is a superpower if you have a car. You can snatch 2 hour naps easy enough.

Yes it's fun. I hiked La Gomera in Spain and camped every night randomly. I even wild camped in Asia a few times. Hotels are for faggots, efeminates and boomer scum

Lmafo. No

Maybe in your backyard. There's important things you need to be aware of when you're really out alone in the wild
>>good for all ages
At a campground, sure. Don't take your kids out hours away from anything on foot ifnyou aren't well prepared and knownwhat you're doing
>>fresh air
Yes
>>cool animals to see and hear
That's part of the problem and what you need to be prepared for
>>explore new territory and environments
You should never just set out and just wander without knowledge of the area or a plan dor exactly where you're going

Curated campgrounds are one thing but being way out in the badlands, deep in the rockies, or out on the AT doing real camping and hiking underestimating nature gets people killed.

Nah youre right I’m being a tight ass

I can't speak to that anon's specific location, but that general (GENERAL) region of Europe is supposed to have some of the world's largest primeval deciduous forests. I never would have suspected it. Some of them are regarded with medieval type fears, like nothing good happens in the forest.

Ur post was funny I’m just cynical and getting old ig

>Hotels are for jew
Many airports are in the countryside and close to good camping. Even at Heathrow you can get a cheap bus to Windsor and chill. I once hitchiked out of the Zurich airport and the driver dropped me on a camping bicycle trail. Take the hitchhiking pill.

I remember cooking some bacon on my camp stove, and the smell wafted over to a tent full of muslims, who shouted WHAT'S THAT SMELL? and then dragged their tent to another part of the campsite, was kek

>>510458589
let’s go camping anon I’ll make it up to you

>>510448900
Ya that about sums it up for this thread

>>510458562
>>510458597
I understand.
It's like watching TV and expecting to not see fags everywhere. They're what? 4% of the world population? Less? But they're represented as if they're half of everyone everywhere. I joke about it freely because I think faggotry is hilarious, as long as it isn't in front of me. It's being promoted as some noble morality, but it's also not a choice, or if it is, who cares. Just deal with it - lots and lots of it that they'll throw directly in your face. Now go promote it and don't make fun of it.
But it's ripe for ridicule.

>>510458737
Hahahaha. Gross.

>>510447950 (OP)
if I want to be in nature I just go hiking no reason to camp unless the hike is too long to complete in a day

then there's car camping but that's more just an excuse to get drunk with your friends
