Do you like exploring caves? What sort of caves have you been in?

Anyone here ever go /out/ in restricted/illegal areas? Any advice for accessing these spaces?
Pictured: North Brother Island, NYC

Any TN anons out there?
Know any good /out/ spots in the great volunteer state?
Personally I am looking for some spots in Eastern TN in the Nooga area, want to go on a day hike, camp overnight and do some plinking. Was thinking of the pocket wilderness in Dayton, but idk their rules on guns and camping overnight.

Anyone else been having fun getting out in the mountains?

would a solo alpine winter ascent of K2 without oxygen be a greater feat than free soloing El Capitan?

heres mine
time was about 3 weeks ago
was fishing at the river behind my house and had a decent fishing day except for one moment
was drinking with my rican friend who brought some ribs and casting for catfish
i had like about 85 yards out and felt a rumble
so im like ill wait for a hit on the hook and then run back and shit
well about 10 minutes goes by and its grtting worse
like channeling energy to my sphincter
i say fuck that im gonna lose it and start reeeling in my line
now im struggling to hold this flow in reeling in on a 12 foot pole on 40 lb test with a 4oz weight(nriver has some deep black mud), i knew it was gonna be a bad one
god knows 8 seconds into the retreival im probably 40 feet from shore i get a MASSIVE strike
and then it happened
the force of the fish hitting my hook plus my stance, it must have looked absurb.
mind you now, i am wearing swimtrunks (no net) and all this happens in less than a second
i instinctely threw back my rod for the hook land, and in the same action release my bowels
an ABSOLUTE TORRENT of liquid shit blasts out of me
now my brain flashes
FISH OR SHIT
>the brown tide has now crossed my shorts cutoff and is dripping down both my legs
i chance a look down and my god its heinous at the same time my friend just realized what has happened
hes now yelling at me DUDE YOU SHIT YOURSELF! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU
i start charging at the reel, fish still on, 25 feet to go, ill wipe when i land it
bitch breaks off at the shore line

not a good time

ì just bought a couple acres in appalachia and am building a cabin so i dont have to be a rentoid. picrel is what ive done so far

can anyone recommend a good pair of hiking boots? price doesn't really matter, i'm just trying to get a decent pair of boots that won't bust a hole straight through the bottom like my last pair (my walking posture is fine)

In honor of Halloween, and we haven't talked about this guy in like a year, I'd like to get everyone to remember the tragic tale of James Kim, who got cuck-killed by his nagging white wife.

Guy, his wife, and their daughters, age 4 and 7 mo finished Thanksgiving with family in Seattle, and decided to stay at a resort on the Oregon coast on the way back to San Francisco. He was television personality and audio reviewer for CNET. This was in late 2006, so before smartphones. They missed the turn to the main highway connecting interstate 5 with the Oregon coast, pulled into a gas station to ask directions, and fucked it up from there. The wife was nagging him to get home and it got dark and they ended up on logging roads that theoretically DO connect I-5 and the Oregon coast, but it was snowing heavily and they turned around, got lost, and gave up. He went to seek help and died frozen, and the wife and two daughter survived.

The price a man pays for a hypergamous marriage.

With 2025 coming to an end, it's time for the yearly grid thread!

Lets see what you've been up to..

Hey guys long time no see, lately I've been hiking a lot in wolf country (pack of 6 confirmed) are they a real threat or do they scatter when coming across humans?
According to google it should be fine.
