This is where I draw the line as far as risk/reward of endurance feats. Climbing Mount Everest does not seem worth it financially or in regards to risk of death.

>>2805959 >>2805962 No I’m saying I would swim the channel (accompanied by an escort boat) if I can get into good enough shape. Right now I’m training for my first Ironman.
I’m saying the risk of climbing something like Everest or McKinley is above my risk tolerance. The EC is where I draw the line.

>"I constructed from a blown up motor car inner tube a pannier-made from a coffee tin-containing a compass, two bottles of rum, sliced chicken, sugar and biscuits. I struck out from Cap Gris Nez with the inner tube and pannier strung out behind me. After about 5 hours I wanted something to eat so I pulled in the tray and found that the chicken and biscuits had been washed away. The bottles of rum were still there and I took a long drink." https://www.channelswimmingdover.org.uk/content/photo/ted-may-channel-swimmer-died-in-attempt

Winter is for hiking.

>>2807268 im still conflicted on brands but miracle gro and promix seems nice but I dont know which exact typr of potting/raised bed soil.
>>2807386 I know im gonna get the mykos and put them on my plants roots before planting because I know that helps alot. And ill try and amend the compost im thinking of mixing with the soil in a 1/4 ratio. Ill also look into incorporating charcoal int soil

Quoted By:
>>2807263 You want lits of fibres to maintain water, and mid-level amounts of fertilizer (too much makes the tomatoes and peppers grow to heights where you'd need a ladder to harvest them).
What I'd do is get some horse manure (one year old is best, but you can use fresh for everything that isn't roots, and you can often get it for free since horse owners want to be rid of it), then mix that in with the soil you already have, or (untreated) wood chips and sawdust, if your soil is too bad.
>potatoes in a raised bed You're gonna have a bad time getting them out.

What kind of axe do you use for chopping up deadfall innawoods? Is there any real difference between expensive axes and my $40 one from the hardware store? I know pic related are just silly overpriced shit for hipsters, but even like a $150 axe from council tool or somebody like that seems overpriced.

I'm just an autist so it was really hard for me to know what I wanted to do as a career, because it was really hard to know how I really feel through all the strong emotions I feel because of my sensitivity, but I think my passion is wildlife, and I want to focus on a degree in wildlife biology and become some sort of person that helps conserve and protect wildlife and nature from the evil fucking normies that I hate with a burning passion. Does this sound like a good goal, or am I just chasing dreams here? Honestly, any job where I can work in nature would be fine, but I would enjoy it more if I could make a small difference in the world

Quoted By:
>>2806940 Marine biology doesn't really appeal to me. I'm more interested in animal biology than plant biology. I think I would focus on animal biology in school, and pursue a career in that, but I would be happy just being a park ranger and spending lots of time in nature, and hopefully not getting shot by meth heads that got lost in the woods

>>2807932 Taking a break over a gap. This was an exhausting cave
Anonymous
>>2807932 Ok I'm done spamming. This is a very dangerous cave because the first 100 or so feet is called an ear dipper because you're wading through water inside that so close to the ceiling you have to lean your head to the side to be able to breath and your ear gets wet. It's very prone to flooding in even the slightest bit of rain. In the 80s, a group got stranded for a few days in this cave. I'll answer any questions about caving and if anybody wants to travel to central Kentucky I'm willing to let you come along on a trip.

Meeting some random dude off 4chan to go into a cave with? Dont get me wrong, I'm sure you're a swell guy but no one is gonna follow you into a hole in the ground without some decent vetting.

Some fucking homo stole my tent and sleeping bag out in Shoshone National Forest. It felt like there was barely anyone out so I didn't bother to pack my camp up when i decided to go out for a day hike after the first night. I planned to come back and sleep at the same place and repeat for a few days. Instead I came back and saw my shit ransacked, tent and bag stolen and some other items gone. I had to coming hike all the way back in a panic to my car in the dark. What kind of fucking person steals someones tent in the back country.

>>2807037 I have a feeling you were LUCKY you weren't there anon. I'm surprised this hasn't occurred to you but that person maybe woulda just murdered you then take your stuff after if you were there.
Hell, taking someone's winter gear far from civilization IS a murder attempt.
Freaky. How much $$$ in gear did you lose? Winter camping stuff can be quite expensive.

literally had a convo with an /out/ist in r9k about how going to your local parks is still going outside and his response was
>is going outside to be be a good thing? i stopped posting on here as much because this board is kind if an absolute joke. Going outside on out or on 4chan has to meet an autistically strict definition or you arent going outside even though you're outside.
>own hunting land >sorry anon that's not outdoors >own properth for seasonal hiking and gatherings >sorry anon that's not outdoors and then the same spergs spend like $3k on gear but say you dont go outside simply because you sleep in a cabin you built on your own land or a trailer you put on your own land
