Question. How far off the beaten path do you guys live? Closest town to me is roughly 15-20 miles on roads like these. Wife loads up on groceries, like two carts worth to make less trips. Aside from not having cell reception. I love it up here. I feel my heart pressure drop when I get to the treeline road to my neck of the woods. I enjoy my weirdo neighbors. lands cheap out there too. And i can literally shoot game from my porch

I'm planning on going to the summit of the Kilimajaro and later the Aconcagua on the slower easier routes. What kind of preparation people do fitness-wise? I live at around 800m above sea level and work out every day. I'm fit enough so can run 10km in 1h and people said i will be fine but idk if they did so i would use their expedition services.
I've already done multiple days hikes but nothing quite as high and altitude fucked me up when i was in Peru.

this is so beautiful.

In northeastern area where would be the best areas?

Do people in Japan really buy hundreds of dollars worth of gear just to backpack half a mile from the bus stop to a gravel patch in someone's back yard?
Granted it doesn't seem that much different from western people buying hundreds of dollars of gear just to camp in some dirt by the side of the highway, but is that really what /out/ is like over there?

I only have enough RAM in my head to memorize five knots.

Which ones should I learn?

how do i traverse this? im going innawoods in northern ontario next weekend and going off-road but it seems like muskeg is absolutely fucking everywhere and i'm scared to walk on or go across it because i heard shit like caribou can just sink inside it with no warning and are unable to get back up, plus its all wet as fuck and its insect heaven and its like walking through really thick mud

is muskeg just untraversable? is this why nobody lives or goes off road anywhere in northern ontario? just because of this swamp-like abomination?

Extremely fun, addictive hobby, I am thinking of becoming one of these degenerates

My only pet peeve is that, how does the TPU Nylon handle fishing hooks?

What are your personal experiences?
