Any recommendations to get into bushcrafting? I have no clue as to how to do basic things like start a fire or set up a tent or a hammock. I really want to be good at it by the end of this year. I have only been going on short hikes, but I want to feel confident in my survival skills. Books, videos, ect. Would be highly appreciated.
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?
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.
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 or bowl or blunt or spliff or joint or vape or edible or dab or oil, silently enjoying the nature around you, and you're missing out.
>How to get started Purchase a cheap glass pipe (or a simple wooden chillum) and a bag of some quality outdoor or mid-grade weed from a dispensary or your usual guy. You will need a lighter and something to clear the bowl witha paperclip works well if you don't have a proper tool. Pack the bowl loosely, enough for airflow but enough to stay lit. Light the corner of the bowl and inhale slow. Smoke slower than you think you need to, the flower tastes best when it isn't cherried too hot. Tamp and corner or re-light as needed. If you still have trouble, try different methods on YouTube until you find one that works for you. Or you can just roll it or whatever.
>smoking ganja will get you arrested Originally, the government found that weed smokers, following a careful study of the statistics (at a time when hemp was a cash crop) were just peaceful people who wanted to grow their own medicine, enjoy jazz and engage in mild tomfoolery. Nowadays, weed is being legalized against while the average American thrashes in the thralls of poverty. Put two and two together. Marijuana is just another good thing that was under attack by the government.
>muh tobacco Not the time or place (unless you're European.) Start your own thread.
Is it too late to become outdoorsy at 26? I'm not physically fit at all, I pretty much look like picrel but I'm also tired to be rotting in my room all day, I need to change
can anyone recommend a good pair of hiking boots? price doesn't really matter, i'm just trying to get a decent pair of boots that won't bust a hole straight through the bottom like my last pair (my walking posture is fine)
Do you like to look at things when you go /out/? Show us your optics. >monoculars >binoculars >scopes >sunglasses too, I guess >cases/carry systems >cleaning and maintenance >poorfag options
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.
