Hey /out/. I dont know if this is the right board for this, but its the closest i think.
So I recently inherited my family's old cabin, which is on an island, surrounded by a forest and a lake. I've been to said island a million times throughout my life, but never alone. As a kid, i was always told horror stories about the woods by my older bro and our cousins, and somehow they stuck to adulthood.
Now, im going to have to face my anxiety about the forest since the cabin needs some work before its livable, and also because i want to spend time there alone as well. Any good tips, aside from bringing a gun, because Europe.
>permanently reduces your lifespan by a few months, because of extreme fear & strees >haha, it‘s just a prank, relax dude Pranking urban explorers in abandoned locations like that should result in the death penalty.
theres a field near me and this one horse keeps chasing me - i won't even do anything to it and it charges at me. how do i kill it (in a nogunz country)?
I want to go for a few day hiking trip, where I would make 10+km per day, the problem is every time I do more than 10km hiking I end up with blisters, so taking a longer trip would be a problem.
What the fuck am I doing wrong? I used to use military boots, they cant be fucking bad despite what anons say, soldiers walk in them an live. Not to mention back in the day people use much more primitive, heavy, leather boots and didn't complain.
I've been using Grom Protektor boots for years, they are decent, breathe well, light, I don't think its their problem. is it the socks? Should I invest in those marino wool socks? I heard mountain hikers use thick wool socks even in the summer, I honestly cant imagine doing that, won't it cook my feet?
One issue i have no matter what boots I wear, there's always some minimal friction, no matter how tight I tie the lases (I know they cant be too tight) I'm guessing that might be the reason I get blisters after a longer walk.
Should I just buy fucking Lowas? God fucking dammit.
>plants >on earth for trillions and billions of years >2 million years ago: humans *exist* >1776: america created >today: NOOOOOOOOOOOO THAT PLANNT SPECIES IS INVAAAAAAAASSSIVEEEE ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO GROW THERE U MUST KILL IT ON SIGHT
arent plants designed to travel extremely long distances and havent their devised incredibly clever ways to do so? havent they been traveling all over the earth for literally billions of yer=aars?
invasive species is a stupid idea created by people a. who r just trying to protect their unnatural patented/gmo/hybridized cash crop; or b. people who r projecting their feelings of guilt over colonizing a lesser people onto plants
some plants make food that u can eat. grow them and eat them. were struggling to survive out here every day, meanwhile some businessmen and brainwashed college liberals are trying to tell us were bad people for growing the wrong type of food (while they personally do not grow food or make shelters or make clothing, instead reaping the benefits of the global slave industrial comples)
What are some mushroom foraging tips? I think it'd be pretty fun and cute to forage for mushrooms! I don't really care about eating them, I just want to collect them in a bag and bring them home :) I assume woodland forested areas are the best, but mostly here it's just all fields for animals.

What exactly happens in Northern Quebec? there's like 2 roads that get you roughly half way up and they are surrounded by a million small lakes it seems.
