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?

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?

>Time is 1:42am in the UK
>Actual snowstorm covering my town
>Decide "Hey I'm a fat autistic POS, lets go for a walk since snow is cool"
>Gear up in boots and scarf with gloves ready for a nice hour long walk

So there I am walking up a hill enjoying the peace and scenery. I am a fat mid twenties male so I am not really expecting what happens next. I see over the crest, a man walking in the middle of the road towards my direction. I think nothing of it because why the fuck is anyone dodgy going to be out at this time? So I continue walking up the hill thinking nothing of it. As we get closer to eachother he sneakily starts walking onto the pavement in front of me.
I'm a bit weirded out at this point so I go "Alright mate?" as a friendly gesture. He doesn't respond, I call again and he still doesn't respond. Might be my imagination but I swear he was walking brisker at me.

Now I am really pissed off what I did next because I ran like hell. It's almost 2am, the roads are dead and its just me and him, I've never had a proper fight in my life and all I'm thinking in my head is "GUY HAS A KNIFE AND IS PROBABLY A MIGRANT". I am a fat bastard but somehow the adrenaline made me speed away faster than I've ever known. Despite the snow I didn't slip. So what the fuck was the guy's problem? Why did he start walking on the pavement only when we were crossing paths? My town isn't known for things like this but occasionally it does happen. I'm just so pissed off man because I feel like a coward. Still thats the most running I've done in years so I was coughing my lungs up for 10 minutes after.

Maybe I should join a boxing gym.

Do you like to look at things when you go /out/?
Show us your optics.

I have a Vortex 8x25 mono that I like to bring, but I regret not buying the 10x25. Binos are my old Nikon Travelite III 10x25.

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.

>record low snowpack in the rockies
Fire season is gonna fucking blow this year. Fuck wildlandtards, forestry chads where the fuck we at? How are you planning to deal with having half your jobsites burn down?

Are radiator or those big oil jugs good for storing gasoline temporarily for a day or two if you had to fill one up? I hear gasoline will soften and eat up certain plastic bottles. Who makes big bottles with a big cap opening to put a gasoline station fuel nozzle in it?
