It's OK to be a stick tang.

Hello! Does anybody know of a good way to capture small animals, not to kill as pests but for my own bidding.

>decide to go camping in Mark Twain NF
>park at the trailhead in the parking lot
>set off
>NF site says limit is 14 days of camping at most
>I only planned on going out for the week
>came back to my car for resupply mid way through
>see pic related on my window
You gotta be fucking kidding me. The police were less than 24 hours from towing my fucking car that I legally parked and was well within my limits. What the fuck is this shit?

Are kelty internal frames any good? I love my trekker pro external frame

I was digging through my old camping stuff and came across an old can of stove fuel (for my jetboil) with a 2011 lock code...
I don't even know what to use it for.

I visited Torres del Paine national park's visitor center in Chile a while ago, though I didn't do the hike to see the actual Torres del Paine because I overslept and it was already too late in the afternoon by the time I gained the energy. I underestimated how easy it would be to hike. I didn't even know that I had to do my hike during the morning to avoid thunderstorms at high elevation.

I want to do some hiking in my area (Denver) so that doesn't happen again. I doubt there's as strict a time limit unless I'm in Rocky Mountain National Park or doing a trail at a high elevation, but I'm still very much a noob. What do I need to bring (besides water)? How do I train myself to take on harder hikes? What times are best to hike? How do I search for trails?

I eventually want to be able to do a multi-day hike/backpacking (e.g. that one super long hike to Macchu Picchu), though I want to start simple for now.

I'm 6'3" 240 lbs. I'm looking for a chopper bike.
drive around the town, lakeside, trails etc.
What do I need to be comfortable?

Will I fit in a West Coast Chopper?
This one looks great, but might be too small:

How do you feel about the federal layoffs and funding cuts for the NPS and USFS departments? I have mixed feeling on the subject.

I’m moving to an area where there are grizzlies, and I plan to do a lot of hiking. People seem pretty divided on how to handle bear country. Some say that they’re not that big a deal and all you need is bear spray, proper food storage, maybe some bells, etc. Then other people say that bear spray is useless and you should be carrying a large caliber firearm. What’s the /out/ist take on this?

>25 degrees
>0 precipitation, no rain in the next 10 days minimum
>no clouds at all
>humidity 70% because its fucking england
>so much pollen it looks like its snowing
>air ambulance overhead every day because boy racer cunts keep flipping their shitbangers going down country lanes at 80mph
>can't wait till evening when it cools as the pollen gets worse plus fucking moths everywhere

I fucking hate this time of year lads i just want to go on a nice hike to forget my worries but this shit sucks.
