How do I become one of them rangers like Aragorn? Reading The Lord of the Rings some of my favorite parts are the ones with Strider's show of skill. I love how he is completely aware of his surroundings and is able to instantly read footprints and use herbs and quickly make himself and his companions unseen and escape danger. At times he seemed more in tune with nature than even Legolas. I have seen quite a few threads on here of people being scared of the dark and I feel like if one had good old Strider's skill and knowledge he wouldn't be afraid no more. Aragorn wouldn't be startled in the middle of the forest by some bear, he would know about that mountain lion following him for the last 2 miles. He wouldn t get poisoned by some mushroom or die of hunger because he knows what is good and what is bad to eat. Strider wouldn't get lost in the forest since he has been drawing a 3d map in his head this entire time. How do I become more like Aragorn, obviously he has had 80 years of experience but what books would you recommend and things to do in the forest to become a little more like him
Do you swim in winter? the ocean doesnt freeze here but gets down to around 7 degrees in january/february at its lowest. today it was 9 and pretty comfy. i go multiple times a week and it has really helped me build up my cold tolerance for all /out/ activities. not to mention strengthening my immune system and easing arthritic and tendonitic pains.
Society already is divided in 3.5/4. 3.5 are the cattle, 0.5 the remnants dissidents. The internet is owned by them, everything is controlled by them while we control almost nothing except partially where we can choose to go and die. Diagnosis: We lost, no organization on our side, the NWO is heading strongly toward their goal, which is total control of peoples lives through digital surveillance and technology. While we are all divided between meaningless reasons and most refuse to acknowledge the truth. Christ here, Allah there, YHWH here, Buddha there. Truth is God and pathetically everyone who says they fight the good cause doesn't know it and avoids it at all costs. There will come a point where we have to choose to do what is right or retreat to the mountains in order to die off with the knowledge that we did absolutely jack shit to try and change things. Fuck politics, fuck false religions, fuck scientism, and most of all fuck whoever gave their responsibility up to someone else instead of developing within them the true will.

Sup /out/, went camping (at a wilderness campsite) recently to try out some winter gear. Sleeping bag, sleeping pad, and the rewaterproofing on my tent held up really well.
One issue I had, was that while there were plenty of big logs available, there was no tinder or kindling and I had to use my swiss army knife to baton massive pieces of firewood to start a fire. This was fucking atrocious work and I realise I need a good fixed blade knife. Now I've got it in my head to get a big knife or a hatchet, picrel is available in a very decent 6 inch blade and this beauty of a 10 inch blade. As much as I know 6 inch is probably fine, my gorilla brain is telling me to get this big fucking thing, then I don't even need a hatchet and can carry the SKA for small tasks/multitool.
Convince me otherwise before I drop serious money on this thing.
Are there any outdoor brands that don't use poison like gore-tex or their own in-house poison? Fjallraven is the only thing I could find but they still use basically plastic clothing only too
