>you have to buy the latest hitech ultralight neon colored plastic turbo basedpoly dyneema gear or else you’ll literally die
gear chasing was killing my motivation. i said fuck it and started going /out/ with my steinkoglers (austrian mountain boots) and a grandfors bruk strapped to my pack wearing a bunch of wool and cotton clothing. it’s reminded my why i love it. it’s supposed to be challenging, it’s not supposed to be comfortable. they’re bringing everything i hate about the modern world into outdoor recreation with consumerist, elitist minmaxxing. all the gear is fucking ugly and overpriced for what it is anyway. i don’t care if i can do without this item or if there’s a better ultralight version i’ll have better performance with, i’m bringing it.

Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread

I moved to Washington state for the beautiful forests (which are completely valid and breathtaking) but why are there so many ugly obese people??? Don’t even get me started on the liberals, crackheads and ghettos.

What happened?

This is a thread for enjoying a pipe while doing outdoor activities. If you ask why this belongs on /out/, you've never spent an evening by the campfire with a pipe silently enjoying the nature around you, and you're missing out.

>how to get started
Purchase a Missouri Meerschaum Legend and a pouch of Half and Half or Captain Black tobacco, available at most smoke shops. You will need a lighter or match, and something to tamp it with--a large nail works well if you don't have a pipe tool. Fill the pipe with tobacco, pack it down halfway, top it off, pack it down to 3/4, top it off again, pack gently and enjoy. Smoke slower than you think you need to, the tobacco tastes best when it is burning cool. Tamp and re-light as needed. If you still have trouble, try different methods on YouTube until you find one that works for you.

>smoking a pipe will give you cancer
While any tobacco consumption comes with some risk, the cancer risks from occasional pipe use are pretty minimal. Educate yourself and make your own informed health decisions.

>I DON’T LIKE WHAT YOU LIKE REEEEEE
Then leave the thread. Pipes have been a part of outdoors culture for centuries. If you don’t like it, leave.

You have up to $175 to spend on axes, do you buy multiple cheaper ones of different kinds or do you opt for an all rounder option?

Hello, Im completing my "absentee father" hiking setup, help me gear up.

I have a friend coming and we're going to southern utah. We're using a toyota tacoma. Is the trailhead easily accesible or will we have to do a boring multi-mile hike on sand to even get to the trailhead? Heard multiple reports.

ITT we talk about our experiences with certain pieces of equipment or ask questions about them, and also where to acquire it for good prices
