Because you can see the top from the road, i think people get the impression they can just walk in and out, without really understanding the weather conditions at the top, and how quickly they can change. Never good news.

is it possible to do simple navigation (north, south, east and west) via looking at stars? if so what is a good guide to it?
t. only goes outdoors to pick berries and afraid to get lost in the forest

The West hast the best hiking in the United Sta-

Just had a tpwd game warden roll up on me and search everything outside of my cab and then try to insinuate I was a drug addict because I had a vape pen. He was probably 25.

Look I never voted for Trump and I think some of his ideas are good. But why are Texas game wardens rolling up on niggers?

Post cool petroglyphs from your area. i'll start.theres cup marks pecked into the boulders all over the beach here, most were underwater today and even these two i had to wade into waist deep 10 degree water (naked no less..) to get the photo

Didn't know if this was fit for /trv/ or here, anyways

Iraqi photographer - soon to be backpacking my ass all the way throughout Central Asia alone, India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, will probably be camping in the wilderness a lot to get new pictures, the target is somehow getting to Tibet or the Sufi villages in the north of India at some point....

I need help with:
1. What kind of solar-powered battery pack do I buy? Something portable, I need it to power a small electric stove for boiling water, and a charger for a phone and DSLR, nothing more I think, let's try to stick under 500$? The fewer bucks I spend the better

2. I am thinking of buying a Samsung phone with a stylus for note-taking, it'd save me having to bring paper and run out of it, and I'll probably have a spare Chinese cheap stylus just in case I lose the original: what mirrorless bands do I look out for on the phone? What regional model should I buy so I don't get stranded like a dumbass when I try to phone somebody for help?

It's ski season. How do you protect your skis from theft if you leave them on the hill?

What are some relatively easy 2500-3500 m mountains in Europe?

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

Does anyone else use these things as a stand-in for a sleeping bag? I carry a lightweight fleece blanket too, which hardly ways anything, and I am very warm even in winter if I sleep in my coat. It makes me wonder why I kept carrying that cumbersome and much heavier bag around when it would hardly ever fit in my bag.

With the McCandless blanket you can save weight and a lot of space.
