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.

near one of the most remote lakes in the western US. I thought /out/ told me the western US was remote and untouched. all you really need is a car, AllTrails™ App, and some running shoes?

First for best telescopic rod is the one you exchanged for a 3pc.

I am planning on going into the wilderness and never returning. Have any of you attempted something similar? I am not sure if I want a horse or a bike. I don't want to put a horse through summer mosquitos. God speed

I need the Indoor companion to my Outdoor machete. Ye Ol kitchen table wants to steal my woman and I need to turn it into firewood. All I have is this OUTDOOR machete, it only cuts natural plants Outdoors. The table has been shaped by man and therefore is an Indoor object.

Has anyone else here traveled around living in a backpack for a while? What about car/van life? What are your experiences and if you're still doing it what are your plans for the next year?
I've been doing it for 5 years straight after my Mom passed and I had no ties left to keep me involved with society or my hometown much.
Now I'm renting a large property and house, working on my hobbies and profitable skills and saving up cash for when I inevitably dip out back into the world again this spring.

I'm getting a backpack set up and possibly a 4runner. I just don't know where I want to go though anymore, I've been all over the US a few times and I hate crossing the continental divide, I'm probably going to stay in the PNW for a while until something interesting draws me east, but I'm also considering biting the cost of a passport to go start traveling in other countries too.

see this, what do?

I'm applying to conservation corps. I know the pay is going to shit but I'm retarded and I think it's cool to camp and work on trails all day.

Anyone have experiences with /out/ jobs?
