why does it seem like all you people want to go out and be “in le nature” but don’t give a single fuck about preserving ecosystems or native biodiversity? You feel entitled to go out and be in nature and treat it like your personal fucking playground, damaging the ecosystem and demanding roads and trails be paved through the wilderness so you can “heckin enjoy it”? And then go home and continue to fuel the 6th mass extinction with your destructive consumerist habits? Anyway, I planted some Texas native wildflowers today to help the declining pollinator population in my area. What did you do?
Looking to do some big bike rides in the Western US mid-March. Mostly off-road/unpaved. Driving from the East Coast and car camping.
What general areas do you guys recommend?
Right now looking at a Guadalupe mountains -> Lincoln NF, NM -> Santa Fe/Taos -> Southern CO somewhere?
Also possible: Gila/Silver City, NM routed in Southern Utah -> Vegas/Red Rocks -> Death Valley after Colorado
NOAA map shows much lighter snowpack at altitude than years past but I don't live out there. I saw plenty of snow in the Flagstaff area early Spring a few years ago so I make no assumptions.
Sup /out/, went camping (at a wilderness campsite) recently to try out some winter gear. Sleeping bag, sleeping pad, and the rewaterproofing on my tent held up really well.
One issue I had, was that while there were plenty of big logs available, there was no tinder or kindling and I had to use my swiss army knife to baton massive pieces of firewood to start a fire. This was fucking atrocious work and I realise I need a good fixed blade knife. Now I've got it in my head to get a big knife or a hatchet, picrel is available in a very decent 6 inch blade and this beauty of a 10 inch blade. As much as I know 6 inch is probably fine, my gorilla brain is telling me to get this big fucking thing, then I don't even need a hatchet and can carry the SKA for small tasks/multitool.
Convince me otherwise before I drop serious money on this thing.
Discuss nudism. Is it something you grew up with, or found later in life? Have you ever considered giving it a try? I wanted to try making a thread on a blue board in the hopes that there could be a serious discussion instead of the degenerate gooning the occasional nudism thread devoles into on /b/.
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 or bowl or blunt or spliff or joint or vape or edible or dab or oil, silently enjoying the nature around you, and you're missing out.
>How to get started Purchase a cheap glass pipe (or a simple wooden chillum) and a bag of some quality outdoor or mid-grade weed from a dispensary or your usual guy. You will need a lighter and something to clear the bowl witha paperclip works well if you don't have a proper tool. Pack the bowl loosely, enough for airflow but enough to stay lit. Light the corner of the bowl and inhale slow. Smoke slower than you think you need to, the flower tastes best when it isn't cherried too hot. Tamp and corner or re-light as needed. If you still have trouble, try different methods on YouTube until you find one that works for you. Or you can just roll it or whatever.
>smoking ganja will get you arrested Originally, the government found that weed smokers, following a careful study of the statistics (at a time when hemp was a cash crop) were just peaceful people who wanted to grow their own medicine, enjoy jazz and engage in mild tomfoolery. Nowadays, weed is being legalized against while the average American thrashes in the thralls of poverty. Put two and two together. Marijuana is just another good thing that was under attack by the government.
>muh tobacco Not the time or place (unless you're European.) Start your own thread.
did you know that the colorado river doesn't reach the ocean anymore, and hasn't consistently since the 60s it all gets sucked up for irrigation and municipal water on arizona and mexico there's just a dry delta in baja california where it once was a similar fate has actually befallen a bunch of rivers in the southwest
