I would like to hear stories of your disappointing /out/ trips and/or failed group trips.

I just bought a Bussy knife for Autumn outdoor-mans activities.
Is it any good?
I hope it sharpens some tooth picks...

Found last week in an abandoned mine in Maramureș county, northern Romania. The light used is LED.
it can't be bugs because this was kilometers deep inside the mine, only fungi and bacteria here.
I tried asking on reddit but that was of no help (as usual)
What could the species be? Is it an undocumented species or perhaps undocumented behaviour? I couldn't find anything about it. I asked a few university profs. and they also don't knkw what it could be.

First for best telescopic rod is the one you exchanged for a 3pc.

Talk about fishin

I saw on a facebook page for vanlife someone asking if they could make vanlife/rvlife work on 7k a month budget and a ton of people talking about how they currently 'make it work' on like 3-5k a month or whatever and it made me wonder how many of you have tried to vanlife and how much a month do you think you needed to survive while doing it

i see them driving on the highway sometimes but never actually doing their job. the only government officials i've ever seen /out/ were some zoomer interns asking about invasive fish at a marina.

How is the camping culture in the USA ?

Here in the EU, we have many Belgian, Dutch, German, British and French people buying big caravans/campers and evading their shitty weather by spending 6 months on the Mediterranean or Atlantic coasts.
Sometime they also go in the Alps when summer is too hot.

There's also the occasional hikers/cyclers doing a multi weeks pilgrimage/hike and sleeping in tents but they're not common.

The campsites are either municipal or private, some of them only have electricity, pitches and showers. Some of them also have restaurants, bars and grocery stores. There is always someone at the front desk, these areas mostly aren't automated.

The people are usually retirees with enough money to afford such vehicles. How does it work in the USA ?

Hey, I'm trying to transplant duckweed from a nearby stream into my pond, to add forage for my ducks. I'm concerned that the ducks are just going to eat it all before it has a chance to colonize. Any suggestions?

>wake up early
>touch grass
>be happy

I LOVE NATURE!!!!!

What kind crampons and shoes would you use in this situation? Would ice axes be an overkill?
