When I go to the beach I like to bring a roll of pennies from the bank so that I can randomly bury them 4-8 inches down. I hope that it keeps distracting and annoying the metal detecting dudes

Casual hammock camper here.
So I have been hanging my hammock using this kind of a knot I figured myself out at some point (anybody knows what it actually is formally called?) without any issues, it can be easily undone by pulling on the free end yet it never tightens under a heavy load. Tree trunk goes in the big loop.
But recently I had an outdoor try hard nerd friend of mine say it's a very unsafe knot. Can somebody confirm this? I don't see the problem.

So they've banned all hiking and camping entirely until october 15th in my province in canada to prevent "forest fires" do I just get a stool and a rope what do I even do anymore.

Why does hiking attract so many trust fund kids? I can't tell you how many people i've met on trails that have told me they have no job and have a trust fund instead. I've never been apart of a hobby that had so many occurrences of this.

Vaguely remember a thread in the past regarding the unwanted (unlawful perhaps?) tracking of consumer GPS devices like garmin watches, the gps on phones (excluding cellular for the sake of the question) etc. etc.

looked around the archives but couldn't find the thread. And even though I'm not one for creating the same threads over and over again, I do distinctly recall the matter not being settled in that thread last time.

Are GPS devices able to be tracked? If yes, how? If no, also how? etc. etc.

Today I noticed that my backpack has this zipper hidden under a velcro flap. Can anyone tell me what this is for?

How is /out/ in Scandinavia?

Is this a good introduction to camping?

Would you like to live in mountains?

I had a bad experience recently out in the homochitto national forest in mississippi. I was hiking in a creek bed and stumbled upon what was probably a meth lab or homeless encampnent or something of that sort. Anyways a bunch of big black dudes came out and yelled at me pulled guns and dragged me inside. What happened next was terrible. For the next four days they viciously raped my asshole. They let me go thank God but still i dont know how i can ever recover. Is it over for me?
