How do I into /out/ in Nebraska? I've done some hikes but I'd like to do a longer trek or some camping somewhere scenic.

>inb4 leave

Have any anons ever been to Donald J. Trump State Park in upstate New York? How does it compare to other parks?

WE ARE... (kinda?) BACK

For the 44 years I've been alive I've always thought shooting in a national forest was my God given right as an American. But today some democRAT Karen decided to snitch on me and it turns out you aren't supposed to shoot at other campgrounds. Just posting this in case you guys have to deal with the idiot FEDS.

Nobody in my family hunts, but I want to get into it.
What do I need to know/do to get started as an absolute beginner?

I am planning to go hiking, it's a four hour walk and my first solo hike. The problem is that I have zero idea what to take with me, or what are the essential rules/tips for hiking. plz help

Every single time I buy a "water-proof" "breathable" jacket it turns out it's neither.
Meanwhile I've hiked in a constant rain for 5 hours wearing a traditional wool sweater and the water didn't get through. Felt a lot nicer than wearing plastic, too.
In a test I did, my dad's old leather jacket is more water-proof than a modern hardshell I still own.

So basically, I'm set for the upper body, with wool or leather depending on the temperature, and a merino base layer. Only thing I'm struggling with is finding a solution for the legs, using natural fiber.
Cotton is shit. Leather pants are gay. Any ideas? What did the pioneers wear? Should I try out tweed?

Anyone here into foraging? I love the hobby but can't find anyone irl who doesn't either think it's weird, or is just completely uninterested.

Pick related, it's a bouquet of small white clover I'm going to dry and turn into tea when I get home.

Old thread: >>2774508

This is a thread for enjoying a pipe while doing outdoor activities. If you ask why this belongs on /out/, you've never spent an evening by the campfire with a pipe silently enjoying the nature around you, and you're missing out.

>how to get started
Purchase a Missouri Meerschaum Legend and a pouch of Half and Half or Captain Black tobacco, available at most smoke shops. You will need a lighter or match, and something to tamp it with--a large nail works well if you don't have a pipe tool. Fill the pipe with tobacco, pack it down halfway, top it off, pack it down to 3/4, top it off again, pack gently and enjoy. Smoke slower than you think you need to, the tobacco tastes best when it is burning cool. Tamp and re-light as needed. If you still have trouble, try different methods on YouTube until you find one that works for you.

>smoking a pipe will give you cancer
While any tobacco consumption comes with some risk, the cancer risks from occasional pipe use are pretty minimal. Educate yourself and make your own informed health decisions.

Then leave the thread. Pipes have been a part of outdoors culture for centuries. If you don’t like it, leave.
