lately i've seen posts in several threads about anons complaining they don't find people to hike with so i thought it might be good to have a thread where people post where they are and so on in case others are also interested and they can organize something together

i'll start, last half of september i will be on holiday and i plan on going to either pyrenees or the alps, preferably pyrenees because it's a bit cheaper. i'm up for everything but i usually do hiking and mountaneering, like ascending peaks on II or III terrain and so on. if i had a partner we could maybe do more interesting stuff. let me know if anyone is interested. currently i live in spain

Need some shoe recommendation both for running and hiking. Thanks.

General thread for freediving and/or spearfishing, since I don't see one mentioning either.

My personal questions:
I've been thinking about taking a certification course so I can learn to do these things correctly and safely. I'm probably happy just doing the diving, but spearfishing seems like an easy and practical extension. I only casually skindive and rod-and-reel fish at the moment. Does anyone have experience taking such a course?
I know I'll need my own gear early on, but each instructor I can find seems to have their own equipment shops, so I imagine they wouldn't be impartial about the quality of other gear on the market. I live on the Pacific coast of the US, so I see that a 7 mm open cell wetsuit is strongly recommended. What good/bad features should I look out for on wetsuits and other equipment? For non-competitive diving, carbon fiber fins are almost certainly not worth the price, right?

Alright which one of you autismos did this?

>U.S. Forest Service officials are seeking information about the person or group that has been placing homemade spike strips and other dangerous traps across roads and trails in remote southwest Oregon.

>The federal agency said that in addition to spike strips, meant to puncture tires, there have also been wires across roads and trails reported in the Taylor Creek and Shan Creek areas of Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest.

>“Reports have stated that the boards that hold the spikes have been covered with leaves, so it may be difficult to see them,” a Facebook post from the national forest said on Monday.

What's a good model, i'm tired of eating pic related

I'm going to be homeless and jobless for at least the next summer and maybe autumn and I want to use this "opportunity" to try and spend that time outdoors in the woods. The plan is to only have to go to a store once a week or less to stock up on food.
Now for the real question: powerbanks are heavy and I would need at least 2-3 to last a week or more + recharging them would take a long time. How are solar rechargeable battery banks? I would be out 24/7 and in Finland meaning the sun sets after way past midnight and rises really early on. Would a normal sized bank recharge at least half way in a single day? If so, any recommendations for brands.

Also, homeless thread I guess.
