>Forest in the morning
Blissful
>Forest in the afternoon
Cool and safe refuge
>Forest at sunset
Etherial and calming
>Forest in the black of night
Absolute terror and fear

How do I overcome this? Exposure therapy? I was so tired by the second night of my hike it didn't matter as much but every little sound freaks me the fuck out. I'm a 28 year old 200 pound man, why does it scare me?

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.

How important do you think a survival knife is?
Do you think it is a rather not needed item thats need can be superseded by a usual every day knife?
It is easier to just snap logs for a fire than to hack them with a survival knife.
This is of course not including raw survival where you are needing bushcraft and hunting skills to actually survive. Just general non normie tier camp holiday woodland camping.

Protip you can't

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

Its that time guys.
Any deals out there this year? Usually la nina years are great for finding good deals on silvers, lots of sales because its gonna be a mild winter

heres mine
time was about 3 weeks ago
was fishing at the river behind my house and had a decent fishing day except for one moment
was drinking with my rican friend who brought some ribs and casting for catfish
i had like about 85 yards out and felt a rumble
so im like ill wait for a hit on the hook and then run back and shit
well about 10 minutes goes by and its grtting worse
like channeling energy to my sphincter
i say fuck that im gonna lose it and start reeeling in my line
now im struggling to hold this flow in reeling in on a 12 foot pole on 40 lb test with a 4oz weight(nriver has some deep black mud), i knew it was gonna be a bad one
god knows 8 seconds into the retreival im probably 40 feet from shore i get a MASSIVE strike
and then it happened
the force of the fish hitting my hook plus my stance, it must have looked absurb.
mind you now, i am wearing swimtrunks (no net) and all this happens in less than a second
i instinctely threw back my rod for the hook land, and in the same action release my bowels
an ABSOLUTE TORRENT of liquid shit blasts out of me
now my brain flashes
FISH OR SHIT
>the brown tide has now crossed my shorts cutoff and is dripping down both my legs
i chance a look down and my god its heinous at the same time my friend just realized what has happened
hes now yelling at me DUDE YOU SHIT YOURSELF! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU
i start charging at the reel, fish still on, 25 feet to go, ill wipe when i land it
bitch breaks off at the shore line

not a good time

Talked to some folks from the area, I'm a bit north, they say they have no chance.
