How to take care of leather hiking boots? I bought a pair of razorbacks, but I have no clue of how to take care of leather? And how to break them in? Help me /out/

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?

Autist here. What is the appropriate way to greet women that you encounter on the trail?

What's /out/ opinion on boot knives? Thinking of getting one because they're the easiest fixed blade knives to EDC that are also large and easy enough to conceal. Survival knives are too large and look mall-ninja-tier when edc'd and neck knives are usually too small.

any subcultures other than rock climbing that have a dirtbagging scene?

I love extreme sports and orienteering but I also love gardening. I saw this doc on extreme gardening and want to get involved. Anybody do this? Apparently it started in Norway:

What does your backpacking kit look like & what are your favorite pieces of gear you have that are unusual or greatly increased your quality of life on the trail? This is my basic kit alot of the gear is 10 years old or more I have recently added a camp chair & a little bidet that goes on a water bottle. My favorite piece of gear is not pictures but it is a frybake pan which is basically a lightweight dutch oven I will be using it on my trip at the end of this month to roast a chicken & make stuffing.

I want to quit society and live out in nature.
Where can I do this, and how should I prepare?
