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.

>>2861317 Haha, true. But there are a gazillion options, so I figured I ask around here to see what is actually worth buying instead of overspending or buying something with garbage quality.
Also, would 25L be enough for the backpack or should I go higher?

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?

Just check CL around me in Podunk, 8 at $100 or less. Spend another $100 on chain, tires, tubes & cables and you've got a great bike for next 20 years. Really splurge and spring for new seat & grips.

Craigslist, FB marketplace and to a lesser extent my local junkyard are all places that I've gotten used bikes from, and most of them have been rideable, or have provided parts for other bike projects. as far as walmart bikes, the ozark G1 explorer and whatever the current ozark down hill bikes are pretty legit from what I've seen and read about, as in they're ridable. To me, I'd be more inclined to get the G1 over a mtb bike though

Oh anon….
Real advice though I’d go secondary market, which is plentiful, and focus on quality there over <$500 new which equals shit. Check out the website pink bike, look for bikes that are under 7 years old, lightly used, no obvious defects, same size as you, etc from reputable manufacturers. You’ll get something much better. Or if you want to commute and nothing else you can probably find a local place in town that serves the community (aka Poors) with donated and refurbished bikes and get something there very cheap that will hold up
If you’re cycling for exercise, doing touring rides of 20+ miles, or mountain biking then I would focus on a decent bike

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?

>>2838933 I know a lot of people that say this whole throwing food from their cars. But that draws rodents to the roadside, which in turn draws birds of prey. Vehicle collisions are a serious threat for birds of prey, and it can be mitigated by simply properly disposing of your waste (including green waste).

>>2861276 i litter because you econiggers are all like this
you do aware that for a good percentage of the population making an "eco" choice is just not an economically viable option right? yet whenever someone finally does make some personal sacrifices required to move in that direction you niggers immediately hurl insults at them about them not being "good enough" or how "they're still part of the problem", "literally worse than hitler" etc. no word of encouragement, not even a tiniest shred of acknowledgement, there's no satisfying you fucks
tl;dr don't act surprised to see that your movement is a losing cause as long as you niggerfaggots continue to act like this and can't pull your heads outta your ass

I basically have no idea what OP thinks the actual problem is.

>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.

>>2861184 anti-reverse switch is a main spot for water intrusion as well as being another part to break, that's why lots of reels don't have it. but yeah, shimanos feel like new even after years as long as you don't abuse them in retarded ways. I prefer Daiwa for baitcasters but shimano is just at the top for spinning. the daiwa lt spinning reels are good reels don't get me wrong, but there is not much difference at all from revros/regal, legalis, exceler, and fuego. they have gotten a lot of shit lately for choosing to have a stupid lineup like that with very little distinction other than color and an extra bearing/screw on handle/mag seal..

>>2861294 This recent obsession with cuckoldry is confined to pretty limited parts of the internet. Most people don't even think of that. Guys have had trophy wives and so on forever and that was never what it was about. I myself had a GF for years who had a big internet following (despite only ever posing modest cosplay) and it never even crossed my mind to think of it in any terms other than "haha losers you're fapping to the girl I fuck." Other guys I know who do have girlfriends/wives that wear slutty cosplay also seem to have the same attitude too.

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.

My job is about as far from it gets, I'm a machinist and everything has to be done in a carefully climate- and humidity-controlled environment to ensure accuracy. I may end up making /out/ or /k/-related stuff though, since I'm in an area where that stuff is very popular (it's why I moved here myself) and there are a lot of companies that make products for it.

>>2856976 One time while camping in the woods in eastern AZ around 2012, my friends and I came across a guy who's entire job with the Forest Service was going to old or semi-abandoned backwoods trails that their map data for was outdated (or gone), hiking them in their entirety, and logging his hike with surveying tools. I thought that was the coolest job I had ever even heard of, and he said he had to get on a waiting list for 3 years before a spot finally opened up.
Also he ripped our bong before heading out in exchange for some pipe tobacco.

I own some relatively cheap Nikon binos. Nothing worth sharing, but what I do want to take a second to mention are the SIG Zulus. I work in a sporting goods store. Whenever I have to cover the area that includes optics, I always play with those I was reading the clock in a building across the street,something I couldn't do with $3000+ Swarovskis. This was all because of the auto stabilization. I don't own any and have no need for them, but they are just so cool. I fish a lot, hunt a little, and take nature walks. Maybe, I'd get some use out of them if I bought them.

I have a pair of Swarovski SLC 10x42 binoculars. They are very good, and were very expensive, but when I got them and started using them, they were honestly worth the price. I bought them for hunting, and keep them in a Kuiu binocular bag for that. It's easier to carry for extended periods than the strap you get with them. For regular hiking, I don't bring them. I just don't see that I would get much use out of them for that. For a riflescope, I have a 1997-model Swarovski Habicht 2,5-10x42 I bought used. Doesn't have illumination or anything, but it does the job even when there's poor shooting light. I recently had it serviced, and I should say it's ready for many more years to come. I don't do much rifle hunting anymore, so it's mostly just for target shooting and the odd seal hunt. I had a Zeiss Conquest 3-12x50 scope on my last rifle, and that was also a fairly good scope, even if it looked bloody ridiculous with how fat it was.

I got these Vortex 10x42s on sale at Costco last year. They're no Zeiss or Swarovski but they're really good for the money and a decent compromise between size/weight and optics.
