Where are all the mushrooms edition?

I'm looking for some hiking near college station what are some good options for me?

any other suggestion for hoboing around in good weather with minimal setting up hassle and weight? other than pic related
must have mosquito net and be light (pic related is about 450 g/1000 lbs)

How do I deal with these giant fucking rapists?

I’m snorkeling and swimming off of the west side of the ‘Big Island’ in Hawaii soon. I am worried I will encounter one of these fuckers and it will try to bite me. Im bringing a tourniquet just in case. Please share advice if you are familiar with this area or species.

Thank you.

Post your preferred hiking shoe and the rest of us can judge how /out/ they are

So im planning to snare trap the nutria at my local lake. Ive got the trap and a few fitting spots and all.
The only thing im unsure about is how to do the actual kiling. I was thinking of just grabbing its neck and cutting its throat, the same way one kills a fish. Will it thrash around so much that this isnt a good idea? I will wait near the trap, so he will not be tired out once i try to go for the kill. I wanna kill the little fella as quickly as possible with as little pain as possible but im unsure where to stab him. Will a pocket knife suffice or should i bring a large chef knife? Guns are not an option. These animals have nasty teeth so im somewhat scared to get hurt.
Also considered a hatched or an axe but this wouldnt really be the most painless method and im also concerned about ruining the fur which i wanna use later on. Has anyone here got experience with killing critters like that and can give some pointers on how to approach the killing blow please?

but why does it make me feel so bad sometimes?

Anyone from /out/ tell me if the Kantamus 60L is worth it? Looking for an endgame backpack that will survive the apocalypse.

Ive been doing a lot of weekend camping and bushcrafting recently with my old school bookbag and it doesnt really cut it anymore.

Any recommendations are appreciated. Preferably 40l+, and something durable Ill ideally never have to replace.
My dad also has old external frame packs; if anyone has any info on modifying those Id greatly appreciate that too.

The nature is harsh, dry, not welcoming, the people are very dumb and either friendly if they can't actually help you, annoying when they want to help you ged rid of all cash in your wallet or rude when they don't care for your existence.

Frequent interaction with the wild animals is what made it worthwhile though.
