My girlfriend is from Michigan and she grew up fishing. She doesn't have her gear anymore, so I wanted to buy her something for her birthday coming up. I'm a hunter and have no fucking clue what to look at for poles; is there a solid generic thing you guys can recommend for a 120 lb girl?

Depends on a lot of factors. Think about the kind of fishing she does/will do, think of bait vs lure to work out the weight of the rig to be cast out (casting weight) Or just walk into a store and buy the first generic rod + reel combo that looks about right, also perfectly valid.

What's the budget? What kind? Baitcast? Panfish? Bass and walleye? I can give you a Good, Better, Best option Good: Shakespeare Ugly Stick, Berkley Cherrywood, or Eagle Claw Crafted Glass Better: Fplunger President Fenwick St. Croix Triumph Best is just a money is no object like G Loomis, Abu Garcia Fantasista X or Shimano Expride B

>>2856015 get a spinning reel rod with a casting wieight between 5-40 grams and line bwtween ,25mm to ,35mm. thats the most universal setup you can get, with todays lines you can go to down to ,20 ish thickness and get the same breaking strength. the american standard of measuring breaking strenght is so much bullshit. a fishing reel can hold as much of a certain thickness line, that capacity is based on its thickness not on on its breaking strength. i want to know can my reel hold 200m of ,25? i dont want to know if it can hold x yards of x lbs.

how do you train for mountaneering hiking and backpacking and out in general i know the optimal way is to load weight on a backpack and walk uphill and down, increasing distance, elevation and weight progressively but i live in flat area and it's depressing to drive for 1 hour just to be on the same boring trail. anything closer is shit, i need to go up and down the same hill 10 times to get close to the total elevation i want, it's boring and depressing and people who i encounter think i'm stupid any other suggestions?

If you don't have hills find tall building with stairs.

ok after this thread it looks like the best thing is just stairs with weight. it's obvious in hindsight, i'll just try to avoid running into people thanks bros

Today I had to abort for the first time. I underestimated the snow depth on my route and didn't bring snow shoes. About 200 m below the peak, in really steep terrain, I kept crashing through the surface of the thigh-deep snow between the rocks underneath. For one it was becoming really exhausting, cold, and I was worried I could hit one of the rocks with my shin or knee. It was a bit of a reality check. Thanks for reading my blog post.

In winter, I prefer doing peaks that I've already done at other times of the year. No pressure to summit and it's not a big deal if I stop short. And I'm already familiar with the route.

Hello /out/ serious (though retarded) thread. I won't find rest until I've hunted, killed, skinned, cut up and put in glass jars a 120+ pounds wild boar. Problem is, my country's admin is retarded (even moreso than I) and I still don't have my hunting license, so no heavy firepower for me. Now, how do I prepare physically and mentally to be up to the task ? I haven't found any serious advice and my dad, who's a hunter, told me that was a retarded idea. I'm sure there has to be a way though, please help.

>>2855846 Yeah okay boars should not be messed with, first become familiar with the animal before trying to do anything around it. Definitely a good reminder to stay careful
>>2855847 I see I see. Hypothetically speaking I wouldn't even go after a big boar alone because I would not even be able to carry it back. I watched the video, very interesting.
One thing I learnec is that I will need to spend a lot more time in nature and in proximity to these animals to become more fit and familiar with them if I want to successfully bring one home.
>>2855851 Haha that's hilarious yeah definitely a strange way of thinking, same, would need a lot of exposure and studying to know them better

>>2855678 whats keeping you from getting the loicense?
anyways, if someone catches you poaching and reports you, you will likely go on a naughty list that bars you from ever being allowed to keep and use firearms.
go grab a camera and try to get pig pics. if you manage to get good shots with a camera, you would have had the opportunity to bag it.
also why not ask your dad to teach you more? you can tag along without a gun and learn.

I want to have camping adventures like Rin chan, traveling with a tent and staying in camping places around southern germany and central europe as a whole, but I need to make a choice Either I go the Rin route and buy a scooterlike motorbike or I buy an e-bike On one hand with the motorbike I get to go farther away and faster and have more carrying capacity, but with the e-bike I have full access to europe's large bike trail network and can travel by train with it when necessary. Also, thanks to the engine, hilly terrain isn't a problem Help me make a choice

>>2854573 just get a car or motorcycle. anti motor fags often call our way of travel stressfull, whats stressfull about leaving work on friday and waking up next to some river in sweden saturday morning? i just got into my car and drove a few hours, the same time and effort with a bike and you wouldnt have left the municipality. and no its not expensive, cars can be had for 500€ and a couple of weeks roadtrippin norway, sweden, finland from south to north cost me about 1000€ in fuel. thats not expensive, people buy plane tickets for 5x that.

>>2854573 Not sure what model that one is, but i assume it's similar to the vespa scooter i used to drive daily. Which in that case, yes, it's more than capable for your purposes. I'm not sure about the electric models though, never tried one, but if you're gonna use it for an /out/ing personally I'm kinda wary about recharging it
Also just ignore the bikefags and carcucks ITT. The former are immature homosexuals and the latter are mongoloid subhumans. Scooters are the optimal transportation method of enlightened individuals

>>2854468 Also, I don't think it looks bleak. Or it's bleak in a good way. I prefer the treeless look, so you can properly see the terrain and the shapes of mountains. It looks better.
I've done hiking in Europe and elsewhere that's forested and it's boring. You can't see anything because you are in a forest, and then when you get above the treeline all you see is forest. I want to see the jagged rocks and rugged landscape.
Woods are nice in lowland areas, but for mountains it's way better without trees. And conifers are the most boring tree of all, just the same tree as far as the eye can see, concealing the landscape.

>>2855182 >>2855184 Read accounts from visitors to England in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Period, and you'll see how they heap praise on it for being a land wholly tamed by man. The rolling green fields, hedgerows, pasture and row-upon-row of fruits and vegetables were an admiration, likewise the wall-less cities and the fact that a common man could up and go to London or Bristol or Norwich on a whim, safe in the knowledge that his home was secure. This kind of thinking was what spread to America through the Pilgrims and Puritans, and why they wanted to turn their newfound Eden into a land of human industry.

>>2855382 >The soil is fruitful, and abounds with cattle, which inclines the inhabitants rather to feeding than ploughing, so that near a third part of the land is left uncultivated for grazing. The climate is most temperate at all times, and the air never heavy, consequently maladies are scarcer, and less physic is used there than anywhere else. There are but few rivers; though the soil is productive, it bears no wine; but that want is supplied from abroad by the best kinds, as of Orleans, Gascon, Rhenish, and Spanish. The general drink is beer, which is prepared from barley, and is excellently well tasted, but strong, and what soon fuddles. There are many hills without one tree, or any spring, which produce a very short and tender grass, and supply plenty of food to sheep; upon these wander numerous flocks, extremely white, and whether from the temperature of the air, or goodness of the earth, bearing softer and finer fleeces than those of any other country: this is the true Golden Fleece, in which consist the chief riches of the inhabitants, great sums of money being brought into the island by merchants, chiefly for that article of trade. The dogs here are particularly good. It has mines of gold, silver, and tin (of which all manner of table utensils are made, in brightness equal to silver, and used all over Europe), of lead, and of iron, but not much of the latter. The horses are small but swift. Glasshouses are in plenty here. Anonymous

Recovering from an injury so did a 15km hike in the local countryside. Was meant to be a circular route but I cut it short as the only route was through a narrow field with the largest bull I've seen in my life in. Managed to get a bus home. I think I'll try the full circular once the weather improves. The clay soil in the Chilterns sticks to your boots the moment it gets wet.

>>2844793 I can't justify the expense in my mind, it would feel like a high-end accessory that shouldn't get dirty. For 25/$30 I just got a Eurohike 65 litre (picrel) and it feels extremely plush and luxurious, it has a frame, it's extremely ergonomic, and frankly it seems like something from the future, a hyper-engineered piece of kit for the price of some fast food. All the reviews I've read say it is as tough as nails over extended periods of use, my other cheapo one is too (but is small for winter).
It leaves me wondering how on earth I could spend TEN TIMES the amount and expect much more functionality when the low end of the market provides 99% of the comfort and function. But this might also be because I'm a manlet, tall people always seem to complain about their packs whereas any I try fits me like a glove.

>>2855936 Yes, you can add a lid and stuff another drybag on top, but it doesn't really solve the problem if you want things secure inside the bag. It's just a slight annoyance and it's designed to not stick up above your head. A couple more inches would be nice or a snow lock inside that extend above.
