>>2722849 Wow thanks a lot. The dirt road free camping is good with me. When you're dirt road camping is there usually other people near you doing it too? Or is the idea to keep driving until no one's around
>>2722892 True but it sounds unreliable during the peak season and assuming the case in which it's denied the day I arrive, I wanted to get an idea how feasible it is to find a campsite (or just a place to park without being bothered) on a whim out there. Other guys are saying I'll be alright
>>2723004 >>2723005 Thanks a lot. Yeah I'm probably trying to put together a trip based off national forest camping and not national park camping. And the backcountry permits for yellowstone are lottery right now but open in a few days. I imagine they'll sell out fast. I'm driving from indiana to seattle and it's kind of on the way so I wanted to do it.
>>2723047 Nice. Did you go solo? Are the dirt lots and pullouts places you're actually allowed to park overnight or do you just look for secluded enough and hope no one messes with you? I have slept in my car a few times in the smokeys and been caught in areas with no overnight parking signs everywhere and it sucks.

>>2722995 >What does that have to do with being rich? For a poorfag dirtbagger, $10 a permit/$30 a campsite isn't too pricey if you're booking a couple days for a special vacation. But it's enough to discourage you from overbooking several weekends in a row.
For a richfag, paying $100-$300 to reserve 5 potential weekends in a row (and just choosing the one with the nicest forecast) is no big deal. But then they fuck it over for the normal people who COULD have picked up a permit, if they weren't already reservde

The counselors just kind of acted like everything was fine around the kids. Apparently my scoutmaster's retard son also nearly fell off a cliff, and was saved by one of the counselors. My leaders thought very poorly of the camp, but I thing it was great (minus that dude dying). We certainly went to much more poorly handled camps.

Id like to learn taxidermy to atleast have some use of the small game that i cant eat. Where should i start? What tools i need and are there any good textbooks on the subject?

>>2722229 Taxidermy is like tattoos. The quality scales heavily with price. 520 for a hide/pelt is pretty damn expensive though.

Are there any good books about taxidermy for beginners that you guys could recommend?

Quoted By:
Does anyone have good guides or videos for soft mount/re-posable taxidermy? I have a small interest in it as I've heard about it on and off for a couple years. I'll probably end up modifying the guide to my needs/materials but having a a known good method to go off would be nice. I just don't see how you wouldn't end up getting creases in the joints or compressing the filler in those areas over a couple years if you pose and move it like once a month or something.

Are there ever rockhound threads on /out/? Found these in high desert colorado, curious if anyone knows what they are. They're part of a petrified wood collection I found in a washout (next pic) and I'm curious what the type is that gives this unique orange yellow hue.

And this is petrified wood, correct? Got a dozen smaller chunks just want to verify it's actually petrified wood.

>>2722956 Looks like a type of limestone. I think it is quite common for them to have parts that contain oxidized iron, at least that's what my local limestone has a lot of. Some of these cracked open can reveal fossils.

Just stay away from Antarctica, for your own safety, for all of our safety.
There's a reason all of the major powers of the world have agreed to leave Antarctica alone, and it's not just because of the cold.

>>2673989 For me, it's the car Shackleton took to Antarctica
If you read up on all those early polar expeditions it was always the Scandinavians who did well and know what they were doing, a lot of their stuff isn't well known or translated though.
Guys like Shackleton and Scott were performers, not proper adventurers. They were the ones who managed to convince English donors to fund their adventures where they got up to all kind of retarded high jinks, came back and got good publishing deals from their rich buddies for their accounts.

>>2708948 Alright fellas, what should I want to do if I want to live on a boat, have a budget of $20,000 (for the boat alone, I have a shit ton of money for other things like food, tools, etc), wanted to bounce between the bahamas, Florida, be able to spend months remotely in the Everglades/Keys, and be able to stay in town for short periods of time as well, all on top of having no boating experience?
Big ask, but I gotta know. I am losing my mind here in Orlando.

>>2723063 20k seems on the low end for a liveaboard that can sail reliably/safely between Florida and the Bahamas. I would probably add another 15-20k as a buffer for replacing/repairing/adding anything on the boat (e.g. do all the batteries need replaced, are the electronics all good, are the sails worn out, does the hull need scrubbed and repainted, does it already have a windvane steering system or do you need to buy one, etc.)

Another kayak fishing close call that happened last week. Kayak fishing a bayou right before sundown had caught a couple specks and had them on a stringer attached to my kayak. I navigate the last couple of bends around some grass flats and take a second to cast before I head out. Huge thump at the side of my kayak nearly tips me over, the wake from whatever just hit me is churning the water to my left and right. A fucking family of gators decided to sneak a free meal off my stringer and are taking turns darting at my kayak. I cut my stringer loose and very slowly paddle backwards towards the shoreline. I can see them pretty clearly now tearing up the specks I just jettisoned. I've never seen gators be so aggressive before, maybe mating season or a scarcity of food? No way in hell Im fishing that spot again in kayak, only a retard tests fate twice.
