All our caves are flooded but they’re pretty fun to dive in. Florida is great for aquatic spelunking

Rattlesnake Point is perched on a high bluff far above and between Sheep Cave and Big Laurel Falls.
https://www.uppercumberlandcaving.net/Gulf/tour/rattler.html I believe it is where I circled on the map roughly given the description. There's also wilson ridge to the wsw of that and buzzard's roost on the other side (south) of the gorge upstream to the NE, which seems to be wholly on private property.

>>2855487 also I think it maybe has to be right here because I emailed the land manager and he said the reason it's not *legally* accessible is because to get to it, you have to go through a nature conservancy property that is closed to the public; but the rattlesnake point overlook itself is on public land - he gave me that clue
if you go to google maps or the scott's gulf park map
https://tnstateparks.com/assets/pdf/additional-content/park-maps/Scotts_Gulf_Wilderness_web_1.png you can kinda see a little area of cliffy edge in darker green that's on the virgin falls state natural area owned land which is open to the public
fuck i hate bureaucracy

>>2855510 If the illegal entry way is the one he immediately thinks of then thats probably just one that be reached by foot. With these plateaus out here you honestly really might need to do some bouldering.
Get some pics when you go anon!

Park at the Ocoee Whitewater Center. Do kayak, tubing or white water rafting if you want to. The Benton McKay Trail can be picked up at the OWC for great hiking and camping. There are also great camping spots around the lake nearby.

Is there anything I should know to deal with winter conditions hiking? I've never been hiking with a significant amount of snow or ice, but am planning to do some in January in the Appalachians around VA, WV, MD, and/or PA.

>>2855046 You can replace the hats, neck warmer and balaclava with a single polar buff.

>>2855000 I've summited Washington in the winter. You want a rigid boot with crampons.

I see you just mentioned hiking. Be careful in the winter time though. Understand that it gets very cold at night and often windy. If you decide to camp overnight you need a very good inflatable pad to keep you off of the frozen ground. The ground will wick all of the heat away from your body because your body weight will crush the insulating material you are laying on.

>>2857659 I like having spares, especially of different weights in case I sweat one out or want to adjust. How do you propose to wear a buff as a hat?
>>2857781 >You want a rigid boot with crampons. I respectfully disagree. There are some routes where you need steel-shanked mountaineering boots and crampons like lions head, but ammo and jewell are both walk-ups you can do in trail runners and microspikes on a good day. I absolutely believe in coming prepared though, and on the bad days packing light and fast like that will get you killed. That being said, if you were to park at ammo on a sunday or monday the weekend crowd will probably have tamped down the trail enough to breeze up in a few hours under good conditions.

Actually can anyone recommend me resources to learn and train as a hunter ? I mean I could go out in the wilderness and try to figure it out myself, but are there any books or videos on the subject ? I haven't seen "educated hunters" whether irl on online, just guys who go out with a gun and a permit and shoot (sometimes coordinating with each other)

Quoted By:
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.

I wonder if you could make clothing made out of multiple alternating layers of regular material and the mesh

Well now it's too warm again, I just used two-layer gloves, wool outside and some idk what fabric inside (they were 4 bux lol).
>>2858017 I have lifting gloves, the top is a fine mesh with a wider mesh on top. If the mesh stuff works, this would only need another layer to trap the air (and cover the whole hand). Maybe I should get a sewing machine instead

This looks like it was a fun project, but I suspect you'll want to make another one sometime soon to sharpen your skills. The foxfire book has plans for log cabins with building directions. It also has a lot of historical and cultural stories from southern appalachia. Not sure if you're from here originally, but whether you've lived here your whole life or just moved to the area recently, those books are very interesting (my favorite chapters all talk about mountain foodways). Glad you're doing something /out/ anon.
