If you could pick ONE book to take out on your hike, what would it be?

>this isnt your backyard

why even live

Looking for suggestions for lightweight, high energy/protein/carbs food to take on long hike wild camping.
I can cook things in mess tins but ideally if so needs to be fast cooked from a small fire in mess tins.

So far I have beef jerky and processed rice or cous cous packets of dehydrated meals with vegetables and spices in them. Cous cous can be hydrated in 5 mins with boiling water. Rice 15-25 mins.

Looking for stuff I can carry a bulk of but are easy on pack weight while also high in energy and nutrition.

The national parks are slowly collapsing. What are we going to do about it?

going out with friends, socializing, having fun, making memories, forging meaningful connections and getting ahead in life, while you are here shitposting about some outdoor gear bullshit nobody cares about on a beautiful autumn's weekend. Any last words anon before you inevitably end it?

What's it like permanently living on a sail boat and sailing around the world? It seems to be the only way you can truly be free in the modern world. I'm not naive, there is obviously risks, but if you aren't an idiot and get sufficient experience beforehand are you most likely to be fine? Any other interesting/useful information is also appreciated.

I need a water bottle that

1. Won't poison me with microplastics or metal flakes
2. Is easy to clean without a dishwasher
3. Holds at least a liter

What are my options?

I might legit be going crazy but recently in the past few months the sound of machines and engines has only been making me more and more angry and now it's at a point where if I hear some faggot with no muffler rev his engine on the road or if I hear some boomer running his lawn mower or string trimmer or leaf blower I feel a murderous rage. There is no peace or quiet or tranquility in society. I don't know what to do about this, if I'm just vitamin deficient or something, but the sounds of engines and machines specifically piss me off so much I almost can't live in my own house anymore. Anyone else feel this anger at the destruction of tranquility? We always need to be spewing noise and smoke and filth everywhere because otherwise some faggot boomer will get mad that there's a few leaves on the sidewalk. I'm starting to think Edward Abbey was onto something.

what r e a l l y happened?
