going out with friends, socializing, having fun, making memories, forging meaningful connections and getting ahead in life, while you are here shitposting about some outdoor bullshit nobody cares about on a beautiful winter's weekend. Any last words anon before you inevitably end it?

You sir need to stop posting on boards that are not for your topic. Talk to a friend or family member, find a shrink, post on reddit if need be. /out/ is not for you.
>getting ahead in life If you're still pining for crushes that want nothing from you, you're too young to fall behind much. Take a step back. Work on yourself. You will find a nice woman that will give you peace of mind, even if she doesn't look like a 19 year old model.

I have a crush and go hiking with her every now and then. She rejected me before, but she has also been single for years now and is probably asexual. Somehow I prefer pining for someone I can't have to not having romantic feelings at all. It's like it proves that I can still feel things, you know? I'm open to finding other women, but it hasn't happened yet.

Why do so many people die hiking Mount Baldy?
Someone calls 911 and helicopter goes to look for missing hiker, finds him, the finds two more bodies also,
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/30/us/hikers-dead-mount-baldy-california.html News shows someone dying every few weekends if not more. Its not like it K2 or Mt. Everest. I knew a guy who loved hiking, was very experienced, went hiking at a regular spot and just disappeared. I think I will just watch my big screen tv and drink my coffee instead of going /out/ in the cold.

I'm one of those almost retards. 45 years ago,, we hiked the backside of Baldy from CA Highway 2 in late September and get to the summit late afternoon. Now, there's no snow to speak of, but we need to get back before it gets dark and the area we're hiking is wilderness and on the way back, we see a male Bighorn which stops us in our tracks in amazement since we're only 40 miles from downtown LA as a crow flys. We're walking along a knife edge trail, where going off the trail more than 5 or 6 feet could lead you to start sliding or worse start tumbing down a 2000 foot slope. The sun is setting, but not a big deal as the contrast is pretty good from remaining dusk and we're 15 minutes from the trailhead.

5° AT Trip, Am I Cooked?
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>2858092 -15c is cold enough that equipment failure or simple errors can kill you. If you had cold camp experience, it would still be something to be cautious about. The AT is not a good place to find out that you were not actually prepared for cold camping, because evacuating yourself will be a chore, one you may physically be unable to do without risk of death or severe thermal injury, if you soak a boot, for instance.
I would advise bailing.

>>2858092 Do you sleep with your head out of the bivy sack? What is the precipitation forecast?
The gear list seems fine if you sleep in all your layers, but if anything gets wet you are MEGA fucked

>>2858445 Funny you ask, I actually decided to bail because of the precipitation, which is gonna be 16in of snow. I also got a couple of pieces since I posted this. But yeah I would try to vent the bivy to keep my breath from freezing on the inside.

>>2858092 You already cancelled but if you have a backyard or something that would be a good opportunity to test this. Concerns of mine just looking at raw numbers.
Bag is '-10F' limit. If that's the actual 'extreme rating' what that means based on the ISO standard is something like '6 hours with this bag at this temp won't kill you.' It does not mean comfort or even sleep. Even if the liner added 10F (generous) you are still in the 'probably won't get frostbite' territory. If the full ratings are available I would look at them, because the comfort rating is often 20-30F or more over the extreme. For example, Western Mountaineering has some bags who's extreme limit is listed at -40 but their comfortable sleep rating is like 10F, That's a wild swing.
You can definitely sleep colder than the bag with appropriate layering, but I would test that out. One if you cram too much shit into a bag you will start compressing the down and reducing the insulation. Two if you are like me you will find that the inability to move within the bag prevents a comfortable sleep. For this reason, my winter bag and quilt are oversized.
The rest of the layers look good with the exception of a heavy insulation layer. While active you can get away with less and the rain layer will help with wind and cold air, but the lack of a insulation layer for the arms and legs will really suck when moving less around camp unless you plan to cook from your sleeping bag.
Rain fly will really help with evaporative cooling but definitely pick a good campsite where wind and cold air won't collect.
I would be concerned at -22F that the pocket rocket won't work effectively. I would also 100% bring a way to start a fire as an emergency back up. And overall you should probably bring more food, cold saps strength and you body needs fuel constantly.
I feel like a shill because I recommend him a lot, but Aaron Linsdau's YT channel is a great resource and he 100% changed my approach to winter camping.

>>2858687 I tested it since I posted this. Turns out the bag's 10°F rating is actually the lower comfort limit, 0°F is the survival rating. I slept in ~7° with only base layers, and my feet got chilly around 5am so I put my socks back on as they were sweating around 25°.
As for the stove, I got a white gas stove, the MSR WhisperLite.

Understandable.
C'mon knee gga. Who are you fooling, yourself? People either live far removed from the modern world (they usually have one primary goal in life: Modern living conditions) and know their shit or peoe are townsfolk and will follow such instructables once to feel like a hippie or feel good about themselves like that one time where they walked somewhere instead driving their car or paid for the CO2 compensation option whem ordering
>breathable cloth or shit. Ironically they will use more ressources and cause more emissions as they had if they either just bought their shit if they even really needed it instead of finding some instructable to occupy their idle hands on a saturday.

How to take care of leather hiking boots? I bought a pair of razorbacks, but I have no clue of how to take care of leather? And how to break them in? Help me /out/

Quoted By:
>>2858106 To break them in, wear them. Around the house for a bit, then out for a few walks, then out for a few hikes. I don't have any experience with that brand, but the break-in period can be a bitch, so don't take them out for a long hike/walk the first time.
For care, every time you wear them outside, brush them off with a good shoe brush. Once in a while, condition them with something. I like mink oil for various reasons, but if you are in a wet climate you might need something waxier.
Congrats on the new boots, Anon.

If it is real leather. If it was a fake, it does.not matter. In less than a year of use it will be destroyed.
but for real leather, gotta keep it always oiled.

Horizon forbidden west is my favorite game for wandering around in nature. It has like every biome you could want and they're all exaggerated enough to make everything look bigger than they are, and also more interesting than youd find in real life. And they have a nice climbing system so you can climb most cliffs so its kinda impossible to find an are you cant get to, so theres a goof sense of exploration trying to figure out how to get on top of some cliff or mountain.

I didn't try to be an ultralight fag on purpose but it turned out all the gear I need for a 3-4 night backpacking trip fits in a 40-45L backpack, so I'm looking at options for backpacks in that range. Currently using this Gossamer Gear 42L pack and it's okay so far, but does anybody have other suggestions for mid-sized packs?

Life after 30 is a slow-motion suicide without family. It's all the negatives of getting old; watching your friends drift away as they start their own families, your parents and siblings getting old and die, watching everything in your life slowly putter out as the magic fades; without any of the positives of things like family or community to shore you up. Everything rots away and you're left with the bleakness of oblivion, no hope of anything continuing. Anyone who has experienced considerable ageing among his family members (or already in himself), knows how blackpilling it is. It's really rough, once people pass their early 50s (or sometimes even sooner) you start to notice the slip-ups, forgetfulness, the declining of fine motor skills, the difficulties understanding new information. Human existence is a tragedy, there are so few years that you are allowed with full mental and physical strength. Your peak years are mostly wasted with education, where you have barely any control over your own life, because you have little to no money nor autonomy. Add to that the time spent sleeping, working, hygiene, housework, shopping, appointments, visits to the workshop - what do we have left? Everyone who has to work for a living basically leads a precarious existence, regardless of whether they are a simple worker or a well-paid employee. Before they have built up a comfortable fortune and a well established understanding of the world, the body goes downhill.
