Me and some friends have this dream of walking from Seattle to Miami. I'm currently working through the logistics of the trip. Our current plan involves 15 hours of walking a day, well have packs with pad sleeping bag and mainly just a lot of water, we only want to carry enough food to get to the next place we can buy more with a little extra just in case. Timing wise the summer after we graduate is looking like the most likely time to do it. Heat wise I'm not really concerned about the Washington through Wyoming section of the journey, we've all done lots of intensive summer backpacking before, I've worked 10 hour shifts in 100+ degree weather before. I am however worried about Nebraska onwards. I'm from the mountain west and have no real experience with humidity which i am told makes things entirely different. a conservative estimate would have us at the Wyoming Nebraska border by the end of July and in Miami mid September, but we will likely be moving faster than this. Is covering this region on foot in this time of year doable or will our plans have to change?

Post your /out/ edc kit.
Just pretend the sleeping bag is a hammock and this is mine

I think I want to sell my home and just either live in a boat or an rv and fuck around the west coast until I eventually drop dead or something

Anyone here ever actually live in an rv or a small boat full time? does one cost more than the other long terms? I suppose the boat thing sucks because no natl parks or driving around to go get supplies, but living on the water sounds kind of cozy honestly

Anyone from /out/ tell me if the Kantamus 60L is worth it? Looking for an endgame backpack that will survive the apocalypse.

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.

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

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?
