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

>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.

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.

Is the new Live Action Lara Croft /out/ worthy?

Where are all the mushrooms edition?

>gun? heh, I just carry bear spray, it's actually more effecti-

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.

You know those threads we have every week about dropping everything and living alone in the woods? Almost in a ascetic manner without internet and no job.
Why? What causes it? To me it seems to be wanting an escape of urban life, the responsibilities and never-ending noise, the internet that has been utterly destroyed, to escape corporatism or something along those lines. To utterly reject consumerism and decadence.
Now in that sense the desire for that has been noted to have existed since roman times from what i have read. To simpler times, to rural life before urbanization. A romantization of perhaps a gilded past. Don't get me wrong, rural life is superior to urban life but it too has its disadvantages. Especially now when the majority lives in the city leaving only old people out in the countryside rather than the bustling village 100 years ago. The warmth of the village is gone in most places or dying out as is.
If you can't find contentness in the now then you won't find contentness in a log cabin in the middle of Alaska.

German anon here. Tomorrow, I will be heading to Decathlon to buy some hiking gear. I have never properly gone hiking before - at most, I have gone on 3-4 hour walks on forest trails. I will mainly be hiking in spring and autumn, and occasionally in summer, depending on the weather. Terrain wise, I will be mainly hiking in rather hilly areas with a few hundred meters of elevation, and more flat areas from time to time. I would also love to camp for a night or two while I'm at it, but if that's too much (budget wise), we can just stick with hiking gear for now.
