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?

After 13 years, this is my final post on 4chan. I left a while ago, and I need to tell you something I never thought I'd say: I don't miss it. At all. In fact, I feel better in ways I didn't even know were possible.

This place doesn't just waste your time - it steals it. Hours, days, years lost to meaningless threads, recycled jokes, and arguments that go nowhere. You tell yourself you're here for the real talk, the uncensored truth, but most of what's left is either bots, schizos, or people so terminally online they've forgotten how to think like human beings.

Worse than the time, though, is what it does to you. Without even realizing it, you start adopting its cynicism, its cruelty, its detachment. Things that would've once made you cringe - or better yet, feel something - just become more content to scroll past. You laugh at things you shouldn't. You dismiss things you should care about. You become a parody of yourself, all while convincing yourself you're the one who gets it.

And for what? None of it matters. None of it ever mattered. The threads vanish. The insults are forgotten. The wars are just pixels on a screen. The only real, lasting thing is what you lose - your patience, your attention span, your ability to enjoy anything without irony.

Without the addiction of 4chan, I've had the drive, time and energy to pursue things that make me actually feel good. I've got healthier. I've read books. I've engaged in my hobbies. All without feeling anchored to this website I deep down truly despise.

I won't lie and say life outside is perfect. But it's quieter. Clearer. I can think without hearing this place's voice in my head. I can have normal conversations. I can like things again.

If you're reading this and even part of you wants to leave - just leave. Just close the tab. You won't regret it.

I shall not be monitoring this thread. It either gets noticed or it doesn't.

Goodbye, and good luck.

For those who are ever gonna hike in Poland, I ranked all 11 mountain ranges I've ever been to from the best to the worst. I enjoyed all of them but I enjoyed some of them more than other ones.

1. Tatra Mountains
2. Table Mountains
3. Kraków-Częstochowa Upland (not officially mountains but I live nearby and I'm biased)
4. Żywiec Beskid
5. Giant Mountains
6. Pieniny Mountains
7. Silesian Beskid
8. Bieszczady Mountains (might be ranked above Silesian Beskid if there was any avaliable parking lot near the highest peak but unfortunately every parking lot was already taken)
9. Opawskie Mountains
10. Gorce Mountains
11. Holy Cross Mountains

You're about to sleep in your tent and you start to hear thunder. What do?

Will going /out/ cure my depression?

*flies into your soup*
*drowns*

Hey /out/,

anyone here into ham radio? looking to get into the hobby. share your experiences, tips and tricks.

My wife doesn't 'dislike' going camping but her list of needs for when we do go camping is so long and restrictive that it makes camping a total pain in the ass, especially organizing the trip.

It can't be:
>Too hot
>Too dry
>Too rainy
>Too high in elevation
>Too many bugs
>Too remote
>Too quiet
>Too minimal
>Too far away

Basically rules out about 75% of spots you could ever camp at. We still manage to go out a few times a year but Jesus, if you guys ever get married make sure you are aware of all this stuff before you do. And to top it off she gets really upset when I suggest going by myself. If you really love going /out/ more than anything in the world consider staying single bros.
