How does /out/ feel about Arkansas/Missouri or the Interior Highlands?
Calciferous biome, endless water, rolling mixed wooded forests. What's your opinion?

A or B?

> The Western Arctic Caribou Herd, which ranges in Northwest Alaska, is down to 121,000 animals, according to the most recent census by state biologists and their partners.

>It is the lowest population since the 1970s, continuing a slide since 2003, when the herd peaked at 490,000 animals. In 2023, the last time a population survey was completed, the herd was down to 152,000 animals.

The “weather machine of North America” is showing more signs that it is in serious decline. The carbon stored in the Arctic’s thawing permafrost is a ticking bomb that energy and tech CEOs and their government cronies will gleefully release in their insatiable pursuit of greed. You should care about what is happening in the Arctic. It will impact you.

i'm lost guys

Nobody cares about anything anymore.
Nobody wants to get together anymore.
Nobody does anything without getting paid anymore.
Nobody wants to do anything anymore.

I am retarded and I spend multiple hours fucking around trying to start a campfire until it starts burning. It's pretty much wet outside and temperatures go below freezing often.

Birch bark works well to start it, but I want to figure out how to start without it. Tried feather sticks multiple times, but it takes a very long time and results are mixed at best. And yes, the wood is dry... As for carrying some firestarting material, I don't want to because autism.

My latest idea was to split a log in half, and then with surform make enough wood shavings to start a fire, but no idea if this will work (pic related)

Any advice on how to improve firestarting would be greatly appreciated

My lust died the second I wrote the average feminine nature on paper and stratified it according to its moral nature. I am now convinced that the only thing you are supposed to do as a soul, as a man is to wrestle your own flesh into submission, find God and develop a prosperous and altruistic relationship with our creator in order to escape this prison. 99% of women are half humans with no souls, everything they strive for and enjoy is ultimately evil in its nature. The very core of femininity is absolute evil that seeks to devour good men with the same glee and joy youd get from stomping out some dorky kids sand castle.

Once I realized why women are the way they are, it's like I've finally been enlightened as to why hermit monks become hermits in the first place. It's all a lie, its all a joke. This planet is a prison, women are archons who genuinely don't give a fuck about anything but they have to pretend to have interests beyond themselves just so men dont become suspicious and notice the huge disparity in the nature of each gender. It's not a complimentary nature, it's completely one-sided and parasitic. The entire role of women is to entrap a mans life force and pull another soul onto this false reality incarnation trap. Thats all they were designed to do. Satan takes a hold of their hivemind vessels with comedic ease and no resistance. They are all beyond corrupt, they fall apart once a month and endure pain unless they fulfill their ill-natured task. There is nothing in this world worth striving for besides Gods love. There is absolutely NOTHING in this world that is worth your place in heaven.
