Help Me Put Together My First Set Of Hiking Gear For 250€

No.2861316 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
German anon here. Tomorrow, I will be heading to Decathlon to buy some hiking gear. I have never properly gone hiking before - at most, I have gone on 3-4 hour walks on forest trails. I will mainly be hiking in spring and autumn, and occasionally in summer, depending on the weather. Terrain wise, I will be mainly hiking in rather hilly areas with a few hundred meters of elevation, and more flat areas from time to time. I would also love to camp for a night or two while I'm at it, but if that's too much (budget wise), we can just stick with hiking gear for now.

Walmart Bikes/Cheap Bikes

So I been wanting a cheap bike to bike around to the store and maybe bike 5 miles to work, but I don't want to shell out hundreds of dollars for some overpriced bike if a walmart bike suits me fine. I heard walmart bikes are shit, but are they that shit that I should spend 500+ bucks if I just want to commute to places?

why does it seem like all you people want to go out and be “in le nature” but don’t give a single fuck about preserving ecosystems or native biodiversity? You feel entitled to go out and be in nature and treat it like your personal fucking playground, damaging the ecosystem and demanding roads and trails be paved through the wilderness so you can “heckin enjoy it”? And then go home and continue to fuel the 6th mass extinction with your destructive consumerist habits?
Anyway, I planted some Texas native wildflowers today to help the declining pollinator population in my area. What did you do?

Strange encounter with creep in the snow, did I do the right thing?

>Time is 1:42am in the UK
>Actual snowstorm covering my town
>Decide "Hey I'm a fat autistic POS, lets go for a walk since snow is cool"
>Gear up in boots and scarf with gloves ready for a nice hour long walk

So there I am walking up a hill enjoying the peace and scenery. I am a fat mid twenties male so I am not really expecting what happens next. I see over the crest, a man walking in the middle of the road towards my direction. I think nothing of it because why the fuck is anyone dodgy going to be out at this time? So I continue walking up the hill thinking nothing of it. As we get closer to eachother he sneakily starts walking onto the pavement in front of me.
I'm a bit weirded out at this point so I go "Alright mate?" as a friendly gesture. He doesn't respond, I call again and he still doesn't respond. Might be my imagination but I swear he was walking brisker at me.

Now I am really pissed off what I did next because I ran like hell. It's almost 2am, the roads are dead and its just me and him, I've never had a proper fight in my life and all I'm thinking in my head is "GUY HAS A KNIFE AND IS PROBABLY A MIGRANT". I am a fat bastard but somehow the adrenaline made me speed away faster than I've ever known. Despite the snow I didn't slip. So what the fuck was the guy's problem? Why did he start walking on the pavement only when we were crossing paths? My town isn't known for things like this but occasionally it does happen. I'm just so pissed off man because I feel like a coward. Still thats the most running I've done in years so I was coughing my lungs up for 10 minutes after.

Maybe I should join a boxing gym.

Outdoor Jobs

Do you work a job that allows you to experience the outdoors? Do you plan to? Tell us about it.

I was a beekeeper for many years. It was such an enjoyable job. No clipping or marking if the queen wanted to leave she could and the hives were always in beautiful spots. Sometimes the rain would destroy the tracks to get in and so we had to hike several hours to the hives. What I really enjoyed was realising the bees remembered me and working on them wearing no protection. Such beautiful little creatures it gave me a strong appreciation towards them.

I'm applying to conservation corps. I know the pay is going to shit but I'm retarded and I think it's cool to camp and work on trails all day.

Anyone have experiences with /out/ jobs?

I have a Vortex 8x25 mono that I like to bring, but I regret not buying the 10x25. Binos are my old Nikon Travelite III 10x25.
