Anyone ever do a ski-rafting trip before? I'm planning this route for the spring. Skiing 40 some miles across the Harding Icefield followed by 30 some miles of packrafting across Tustumena lake.

Would you? Have you lived in one, built one, or simply stayed overnight? Explain yourself.

>RINJANI MOUNTAIN AREA, WEST NUSA TENGGARA, INDONESIA – JUNE, 2025 Hiking trip ended tragically for 26-year-old Brazilian tourist Juliana Marins. On June 21, she set out on the “Cemara Tunggal” trail with five other people. Likely due to fatigue and the slippery terrain, she lost her balance and fell approximately 500–650 feet (150–200 meters) down a steep, rocky slope. She survived the fall but landed in an area her companions couldn’t reach. They had to contact the national park authorities to launch a rescue operation.Rescue efforts began immediately after the alert, but the search was hampered by poor weather conditions, thick fog, and extremely rugged terrain. She was eventually found on June 24 at the bottom of a ravine, another 1,600 feet (500 meters) below. Sadly, nature was unforgiving – she was found dead. It’s believed she tried to find help on her own after waiting for some time but fell from another slope, this time fatally.

Due to being a dwarf (5’8), my proximity to a major river known for having gold and spots to look for it, and the current gold prices I have decided to dwarfmax. Anyone here ever panned for gold? I’m not thinking of getting much to start for supplies just a mesh sifter a shovel and a pan. Anyone who pans for gold around here have any input for supplies or tricks?

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.

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?

>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.
