>>2841708 not a single one this time
there were quite a lot of mosquitos - so I just kept spraying DEET on myself every few hours and that may have helped repelling ticks

I don't like leaving my backpack unattended outside and prefer to have it in my tent with me, but I see all the advantages of a hammock over a tent. Am I being a retard?

Just bought a few pairs of ripstop, fleece lined pants from Carhartt and tractor supply. For winter farm chores. Any suggestions for non toxic waterproofing?

I just got banned from every hiking club at my university, I don't know what to do and where to meet people because nearly everyone interested in this hobby is in these clubs. I guess I am just kind of an antisocial loser and people slowly realize this the better they get to know me. I just want to make friends hiking and now I am literally banned from doing that.

>>2842353 I had subway club sandwich with me for lunch on a club hike and a girl asked what it was and then said good choice. Then i looked her up and down and licked my lips and said i was so hungry I could eat anything, implying cunnilingus.

I got an official warning president of my school's triathlon team because after nationals I got really hammered and acted like a buffoon for the whole night. Specifically I yelled "GAAYYY" several times, and I made a joke about a german exchange student being hitler's grandson and when I was talking to some people from a california team I joked about them burning in the wildfires.

1. Neither of you did anything wrong
2. Go hiking to be alone, not to make friends (also alcohol is poison, stop drinking it, it makes you stupid)

>>2842353 I literally have no idea and they won't tell me. I blacked out and they simply cited the rules I broke and will not give me an account of the events.
Nobody else that was there remembers seeing me either.

Hey /out/ists just thought I'd share this vid I made of my 2 month canoe trip down the Murray River in Australia. It was fucking awesome and I know a few of you are into kayaking and canoeing. Something a bit different from another gear thread. If anyone wants to do something similar i'd be happy to give any advice that I can.

If someone with enough experience in a relevant field saw the lines on a small piece of wood (like this cocobolo pen blank), could they determine roughly how old the tree it came from was at the time of removal? Like, from details like the curvature of the lines and the space between them? Or is that pretty much impossible?

>>2842144 >Or is that pretty much impossible? This.
Anonymous
>>2842144 it's not an exact science but you can estimate the size of the tree by looking at the curvature of the ring line segments and figuring out how big the complete circle would be and then figuring out how old a tree has to be to be that thick
the problem is you need the outer rings for that and you can't tell if that little chunk was cut from near the bark or near the core
Anonymous
>>2842144 If there's dendrochronology data for the tree type and location where it grew (which maybe could be determined through isotopic analysis) then you could determine when that piece of wood grew. If you knew when it was harvested then you'd at least have a lower bound on how old it was when it was harvested.

I was just curious. Looking at little bits of trees rings I thought, I wonder if someone way smarter than me figure out how this is...

>>2839180 So are citizens allowed to test their missiles at the missile range as well? Or is only the government allowed to do that?
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>2839200 Ackshually, US missile base location is part of strategic defense planning. By placing them in remote areas, it forces an attacker to allocate resources specifically to neutralizing the bases. This means fewer warheads aimed at population centers, and the enemy will need to allocate a disproportionately sized number of warheads to destroying each base to ensure something gets through anti-missile defenses. Repeat this for every missile base on the continent, and an enemy nuclear first strike has to be spread out and rendered less effective.

If i went swimming in the ocean, i wouldn't find it bizarre if a shark bit my leg off, though it doesn't happen often. I'm in their territory and sometimes they do that shit. Though it's kinda rare.
