Is this a good introduction to camping?

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?

Sup fellas, my ol lady and I wanted to try some new stuff to cook on a fire/prep hiking meals. Figured I'd ask here rather than browsing articles where people bring their entire house with them camping.

We've done just about all of the classic campfire meals you could imagine, looking to add some variety into it.

Drop some of your favourite meals or snacks to bring along.

Eco-fascists in the news when I was a kid: Let's blow up this logging equipment with C4 and chain ourselves to these giant sequoyah trees so they can't log. Maybe later we'll kidnap the owner of a chemical company and ransom him to fund future activities and then I'll breed some hairy legged bitches in our off grid tree house.

Eco-fascists in the news now: Let's throw pies and orange paint at people and block traffic so nobody can get to work and maybe later we'll go to the museum and ruin some priceless art. While wearing skirts.

It's /out/ related because these used to be the warriors for the forest and honestly did save some important trees and parts of ecosystems from logging and development. They made it risky, financially and personally, to target public lands and spaces.

With them all but gone, what's to make government and corporate interests afraid to parcel out and sell off our state and national parks?

As gay and cringe as they were, were they the good guys after all?

Why is fishing so retardedly difficult to get into? I walk into Bass Pro and there's eight aisles of different fishing rods, four aisles of different kinds of bait all different colors of the rainbow, 10,000 different sizes and varieties of fucking hooks, you need this, you need that, don't forget this. Fuck me man, I just want to throw a string into the water and catch fish, is that too much to goddamn ask!?

Growing up I always thought my brother was weird.

Now that I'm significantly older I realize we are more or less the exact same people.

Both find government troublesome

Find other people insufferable and egoistic

Dream to live on a farm with the entire family and have some Resident Evil 7 type shit going on.

He is leaving in a day or so to the most desolate area of my country and will live on the food he catches for 3 weeks as he hikes.

I don't go on many hikes. But I long to be free. Gay as it sounds I'd like to just take all my belongings and live in the mountains. Been making a mental plan of everything I'd need to survive for decades and as each day passes I get closer to it being a reality.

What do you think /out/, would it be doable to just escape for real? No more thinking, no more talking but actually doing it. Bring a car and a cheap caravan fully loaded with supplies and just setup camp.

Only thing holding me back is the weather. I don't think I would survive 7 months of winter where temps go below -40c. Would need something proper.

Created a way to share what you have planted in your garden/agroforestry project with others. What does /out/ think?

if you got the chance to go /out/ing for a week in a carboniferous forest, would you take it, or would you not have the BALLS?

I want to go near some lake and sleep in a hammock. Never did that before, my last experience with camping was in a tent 15 years ago. I am planning to do that next week for Perseids meteor shower peak.
Pic related, I bought this recently, I also have a tarp.
I live in central/eastern Europe, temperature at night drops to about 10 degrees Celsius in August, but I think a sleeping bag will be enough for that, though I don't have one yet.
I will take any tips about anything related, from picking a campsite and making a fire to equipment that may be helpful.

Anyone use dog hiking packs? What do you bring along?
