Explanation: What Is Eco-Autarky?
An eco-autarky loop, otherwise known as eco-autarky, is a self-sufficiency system with strong emphasis on ecological principals, independence from industrial supply chains, and minimum waste. Eco-autarky loops go a step beyond traditional economic autarky (self-sufficiency).
Eco-autarky loops (through all-natural, low-impact regenerative methodology) result in the production of essential resources using renewable biological processes, easily acquirable resources and closed-loop systems. Each stage of an eco-autarky loop may provide useful byproducts.

Example: Eco-Autarkical Disinfectant Cleaner
The following eco-autarkical closed-loop system results in an all-natural disinfectant cleaner from excess harvested/wasted fruit/plant material, producing useful byproducts throughout 5 stages of production.

Stage 1: Harvest or collect apples, pears, grapes, berries, peaches and/or sugar-rich roots (beets, carrots) in your garden or food forest. Use windfalls, overripe fruit, peels, cores - anything that would normally become waste.
Stage 2: Alcoholic Fermentation (Yeast Phase) - Crush/chop the harvest to make a simple fruit mash or juice. Add yeast to the fruit juice then ferment in a jar/bucket for 1-3 weeks.
Byproductive result: fruit wine or hard cider

Horizon forbidden west is my favorite game for wandering around in nature. It has like every biome you could want and they're all exaggerated enough to make everything look bigger than they are, and also more interesting than youd find in real life. And they have a nice climbing system so you can climb most cliffs so its kinda impossible to find an are you cant get to, so theres a goof sense of exploration trying to figure out how to get on top of some cliff or mountain.

Land that conservation agencies refuse to allow to be open to the public outright should be turned into condos for millionaires instead.

I didn't try to be an ultralight fag on purpose but it turned out all the gear I need for a 3-4 night backpacking trip fits in a 40-45L backpack, so I'm looking at options for backpacks in that range. Currently using this Gossamer Gear 42L pack and it's okay so far, but does anybody have other suggestions for mid-sized packs?

What is the most hardcore hobby and why is it cave diving?

Life after 30 is a slow-motion suicide without family. It's all the negatives of getting old; watching your friends drift away as they start their own families, your parents and siblings getting old and die, watching everything in your life slowly putter out as the magic fades; without any of the positives of things like family or community to shore you up. Everything rots away and you're left with the bleakness of oblivion, no hope of anything continuing. Anyone who has experienced considerable ageing among his family members (or already in himself), knows how blackpilling it is. It's really rough, once people pass their early 50s (or sometimes even sooner) you start to notice the slip-ups, forgetfulness, the declining of fine motor skills, the difficulties understanding new information. Human existence is a tragedy, there are so few years that you are allowed with full mental and physical strength. Your peak years are mostly wasted with education, where you have barely any control over your own life, because you have little to no money nor autonomy. Add to that the time spent sleeping, working, hygiene, housework, shopping, appointments, visits to the workshop - what do we have left? Everyone who has to work for a living basically leads a precarious existence, regardless of whether they are a simple worker or a well-paid employee. Before they have built up a comfortable fortune and a well established understanding of the world, the body goes downhill.
