Hello /out/ serious (though retarded) thread. I won't find rest until I've hunted, killed, skinned, cut up and put in glass jars a 120+ pounds wild boar.

Problem is, my country's admin is retarded (even moreso than I) and I still don't have my hunting license, so no heavy firepower for me.

Now, how do I prepare physically and mentally to be up to the task ? I haven't found any serious advice and my dad, who's a hunter, told me that was a retarded idea. I'm sure there has to be a way though, please help.

>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.

Does anyone actually hike with these or are they just fashion items for UL faggots and women? They look extremely tiny and impractical to me

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

Winter wanderings edition.

Who's had any good /out/ings so far this winter? Every aspect of your edged what kit have you worked on lately? What plans do you have for the coming spring?

I love being outdoors, love hunting camping hiking fishing, all of it. Been doing it all since a kid. But I have a huge problem with being scared of the dark. I'm alright as long as there's someone else with me, but when I'm alone out deep enough into the woods I can't help but be debilitatingly scared of the dark.

It's so bad that I have to have my hand on my gun at all times once the sun goes down, I even piss in a bottle at night so I don't have to leave the tent. It's hard to sleep because I'm hyper alert to every sound, and as you know there are a lot of them at night. So my question is, has anyone else felt with this and how did you over come it?

I think the Cracow-Częstochowa Uplands in Poland are a bit underrated outing place

this is your jesuswhole bitches. bet ylal secretly jerk off to this shit. fuck all xtians, i'd happily blow up a church if i could. not saying i will, since i'd go to jail and i highly value my life ,and kids are innocent. so i swear i'll never do it, please don't SWAT Me. but my reaction is fair c onsidering the pure filth and antisemitism this filthy religion hs brouight, its a cancer to the nations. one day the world will be cleansed from its filth when the real messiah comes, all xtian people will be eradicated unless they leave their idolatry before.

Could (you) manage to climb a slightly muddy hill without needing rescue?
