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 do you do at this point? Do you just accept that you fucked up and will likely get sick?

A dramatic rescue operation was launched in Oberperfuss on Sunday evening after hikers reported hearing screams and a loud bang in the mountains. Police feared an accident, but the cause turned out to be far less serious: a German hiker had dropped his expensive DSLR camera and shouted in frustration.

At around 7:10 p.m., police were alerted that several people near the Roßkogel had heard loud cries that sounded like a call for help. A police helicopter was dispatched for an initial search but found nothing. Witnesses near the Krimpenbachalm told officers they had clearly heard both the screams and a dull thud.

Later, a moving light was spotted on the mountainside, apparently from someone descending. By 9:00 p.m., officers made contact with a 58-year-old German hiker. He explained that while photographing the sunset, he had dropped his high-end camera, which was badly damaged. As he tried to recover it, he shouted loudly in frustration. He noticed the helicopter circling but did not realize it was searching for him.

The man was uninjured and was able to hike down on his own to his car, parked at the Inzinger Alm.

The operation involved the police helicopter Libelle Tirol as well as patrols from the Fulpmes and Kematen stations, including alpine officers. According to police, the damaged camera was valued in the low five-figure range.

Alps-bros, how do we get rid of German tourists on our mountains?
You'd think training our cattle to attack and kill them would've been enough deterrence.

friendly reminder that the vast majority of canada is nothing but utter and total isolation in every direction for at least a hundred miles, and it looks fucking beautiful too.

Didn't see any Make Your Own Gear thread so I am making one.

Currently making a leather sling bag for my offgrid travels around the world, and my idea for it is so unique to what I discovered I used and needed when travelling that I'm pretty sure this bag would suck for anyone else using it.

Pic unrelated.
Are you using anything you made yourself for your /out/side adventures or did you trash everything away to buy premade gear?

/out/ bros whats going to realistically happen if roadless rule gets pulled?

Got a complete Tasco 1959 7TE 60mm Refractor in original box with all accessories along with a whole bunch of books with some other stuff for $20.

Did i do good?

Been a while since we've had an EDC thread.
What are some things you always carry with you? Got any new gear recently? Knife? Flashlight? Tactical spork?

I've been wanting to put together a little edc first aid kit, not like my actual hiking first aid kit, just smaller things I might need on the day to day. But I havnt really settled on a pouch yet, or, if I should get a small plastic tupperware container because it's waterproof and I hear things like bandaids can get roughed up pretty easily in a pouch
