>OH MY GOD ANON YOU HIKE UP MOUNTAINS? I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO THAT! CAN I COME WITH YOU
>sure you got the gear
>WAIT I HAVE TO SPEND MONEY TO NOT DIE IN BELOW FREEZING TEMPS?!?!

Every time. It's hard finding people are actually passionate about things and are willing to invest money into the equipment to do said things. Normgrels nowadays want to go hiking on their nike sneakers and pijamas.

Why haven't you gone winter camping yet this season /out/?

What, are you scared of a little cold?

So I been wanting a cheap bike to bike around to the store and maybe bike 5 miles to work, but I don't want to shell out hundreds of dollars for some overpriced bike if a walmart bike suits me fine. I heard walmart bikes are shit, but are they that shit that I should spend 500+ bucks if I just want to commute to places?

Is it too late to become outdoorsy at 26? I'm not physically fit at all, I pretty much look like picrel but I'm also tired to be rotting in my room all day, I need to change

Can I convert this little can into an alcohol stove/ heater?

It has a gasketed screw in lid, that is the biggest advantage. I don't know how I would cut and fill it. I assume a WIC is a good idea on this thing so maybe just an out safe oil lamp. For 1.50 it's basically a free experiment.
Thoughts?

This is a thread for enjoying a pipe while doing outdoor activities. If you ask why this belongs on /out/, you've never spent
an evening by the campfire with a pipe silently enjoying the nature around you, and you're missing out.

>how to get started
Purchase a corn cob pipe (or a cheap briar pipe) and a pouch of Half and Half or Captain Black tobacco from a smoke shop
or online. You will need a lighter or match, and something to tamp it with--a large nail works well if you don't have a pipe tool.
Fill the pipe with tobacco, pack it down halfway, top it off, pack it down to 3/4, top it off again, pack gently and enjoy. Smoke
slower than you think you need to, the tobacco tastes best when it is burning cool. Tamp and re-light as needed. If you still
have trouble, try different methods on YouTube until you find one that works for you.
>smoking a pipe will give you cancer
Originally the Surgeon General found that pipe and cigar smokers, following a careful study of the statistics (at a time when
most adults smoked, so they had a good sample size), had insignificant death rate increases. Nowadays, tobacco is being
legislated against while hard drugs are being legalized. Put two and two together. Tobacco is just another good thing under attack by the government.

>muh weed
Not the time or place. Start your own thread.

All tobacco users welcome.
