>>2775194 Fast forward to today. I found this Gloverall second hand. Cost me less than 40 euros (a used one is usually around 150). Either the seller had no clue of its value or wanted to get rid of it asap. Its the model I mentioned here
>>2793051 and even has leg loops! Basically water proof at 90 percent wool and super thick. The wool is practically like loden even though they dont call it that. If you find one in your size go for it, just make sure its not the the 70% wool model ( which is identifiable through 4 toggles rather than 3, and usually has leather strings and no rope closure). Id also avoid the short model.

>>2799004 Black Watch tartan is great for anything that isn't supposed to be tartan (like a kilt). It's not bad on a kilt or trews, but its definitely boring and the closest to a default option. Tasteful enough, but for an item that's supposed to be personal and unique, a very boring choice.
Despite that, it always looks good on items like overshirts, handkerchiefs, scarfs etc. The lack of a tertiary or quaternary colour probably helps keep it quite dull and toned-down. It's relatively hard to make look tacky, no matter how much gift shops and tourists may try.
Which was all a very long way of saying I agree and I think that shirt looks good.

>>2799198 Yeah. But I wouldn't consider wearing flannel (patterns) in anything other than a shirt. Too complicated to pull off and nice colors are also hard to find. I will say though, the black watch that Pendleton used to make was much more vibrant and bright than their newer shirts. I used to have a vintage one, but sadly didn't fit me so I sold it. Pic rel is more contemporary and the green appears duller/darker than the previous shirt in the same light.

>>2798822 wool everything helps
soap and water on anything longer than a weekend (brought far away from the stream)
in not-winter I don't wear underwear, just freeball my loose running shorts and let shit air out as much as possible
ironically not doing anything to prevent the stink (spare clothes/deodorant/cologne, etc) works best for me. I still reek but I don't notice if I don't take any measures to prevent it, just never crosses my mind because I am powerless to stop it by not bringing that shit

An aluminum hiking stick provides 10x better grounding than any stupid hole in your shoes. Or just touch rocks with your bare hands, whatever.

>>2796919 the only time I have experienced grounding was after a hippie told me to stand on a rock shelf while in the water.
I have no evidence, I have no argument it against it.
I just felt better and for about a week after my ankles and toes felt better than 99% of my adult life.
The rest of my body did not feel any different and grounding my feet seemed to have no benefit in anything that wasn't physically grounded by a few inches to the grounding source.

>>2799179 >>2799180 >we have to have roads because the forest wouldn't exist without them So it's not even a natural forest? Basically a garden? How is that wilderness?
I never said anything about the /out/ ability in NJ. I love coastal pine forests and swamps. I think it's important to use the word wilderness sparingly and only for things that qualify because it is such a precious and limited commodity. By the definition you seem to find acceptable, half the country is wilderness, and there is no way to separate places with unspoiled and intact ecosystems from fallow exploited land.

Is acting like a possessed demon the best way to scare off animals? I feel like acting big and shouting is a good first step, but the truly unnerving human is the one switching between snarling, gasping, waving their tongue, and panting.

i never really post here, i live in an endless suburban hellscape and i would like to find a hobby to spend time outdoors, i need more sunshine and at least a little more physical activity in my life my budget is up to around $1500, im thinking about things like paddleboards ebikes, eskateboards but i cant decide. what would you guys do with this price range? i mostly want to find something that has to do with moving/travelling even though i have a car. an e-skateboard sounds really fun but i guess id only have bike trails to ride on one if thats even allowed, and it wouldnt really be a good workout at all, on the other hand a paddleboard would be a good workout but i could only use it in lakes and i could get eaten by an alligator and half the year is too cold to want to risk falling into the water and also it maybe a little too physically demanding for how little i can do with it. i wouldnt want to spend $1000 on one and then get bored. ive only tried a really good paddleboard (not a cheap inflateable one) and was really starting to like it though. looking for any opinions. also the area around me is flat and has lakes and tends to be on the warm or hotter side for most of the year but mostly its just suburbs everywhere for dozens of miles. thank you and please help im going stir crazy being indoors all the time

>>2798648 i was on a two day canoe trip with my friend and there was a loon that followed us almost the whole way the first day
loons are uncommon here so it was unusual and i have seen maybe two in the following decade
we didn't bring a tent because of the portages so when a huge windy storm came in we slept halfway under a tarp and halfway under buggy pine boughs with a fire in our shelter (that was stupid)
the next morning we set out and those red loon eyes were looking right at us and he followed us on the way back

I had a black bear stalking me for about 5 hours one night. I was just sitting at camp and it kept wandering around and circling and I would make noise and flash my lights and pile more wood on the fire, and eventually by like 2am it started just coming right at me so I noped right the fuck out in the middle of the night not even knowing if it was following me or not. That was pretty magical

I feel like a lot of people literally go out of their way to find hiking trails that you have to pay to access, when free (or at least much cheaper) ones are readily available. I saw this when I lived in Colorado, there were free trails and forests all over the place but not a lot of people used them, and would prefer to literally be on a waiting list to get the opportunity to buy a ticket to a national park.
