What is the most hardcore hobby and why is it cave diving?

>Time is 1:42am in the UK
>Actual snowstorm covering my town
>Decide "Hey I'm a fat autistic POS, lets go for a walk since snow is cool"
>Gear up in boots and scarf with gloves ready for a nice hour long walk

So there I am walking up a hill enjoying the peace and scenery. I am a fat mid twenties male so I am not really expecting what happens next. I see over the crest, a man walking in the middle of the road towards my direction. I think nothing of it because why the fuck is anyone dodgy going to be out at this time? So I continue walking up the hill thinking nothing of it. As we get closer to eachother he sneakily starts walking onto the pavement in front of me.
I'm a bit weirded out at this point so I go "Alright mate?" as a friendly gesture. He doesn't respond, I call again and he still doesn't respond. Might be my imagination but I swear he was walking brisker at me.

Now I am really pissed off what I did next because I ran like hell. It's almost 2am, the roads are dead and its just me and him, I've never had a proper fight in my life and all I'm thinking in my head is "GUY HAS A KNIFE AND IS PROBABLY A MIGRANT". I am a fat bastard but somehow the adrenaline made me speed away faster than I've ever known. Despite the snow I didn't slip. So what the fuck was the guy's problem? Why did he start walking on the pavement only when we were crossing paths? My town isn't known for things like this but occasionally it does happen. I'm just so pissed off man because I feel like a coward. Still thats the most running I've done in years so I was coughing my lungs up for 10 minutes after.

Maybe I should join a boxing gym.

Any /spear/ bros? I was hiking pretty remotely on some old Indian trails along the river in central texas and happened upon some hogs. Wasn’t the first time this has happened either. I have no interest in hunting but I’m considering buying one to carry for defense if one decided to charge me next time and i don’t have a cliff or tree to retreat to. it seems like it would be pretty handy to have around as it was the most effective weapon in general before projectiles were invented

Since I think all y'all would be the most mature and knowledgable board about this:
I need to settle this debate for our families emergency kits when a snowstorm or power outage hits. (I checked for a stupid questions thread but there wasn't any)

I am arguing in favor of getting two butane gas stoves/burners for general use, see picrel
The reason for this is that I want to be able to cook indoors for obvious security reasons. We all live in the same, but pretty cramped subdivision, and everyone can look into eachothers front and back yards.

However, my brother is having a mental breakdown how carbon dioxide will kill us if we'd cook indoors without mechanical ventilation or a range hood after a power outage. Regardless of cracking a window or two.

For indoor use I would prefer to use one of those flat stoves rather than something tall like those stoves that you screw on top of a canister, due to its much higher center of gravity. I know there are some safety concerns with those flat stoves, but to my knowledge that is caused by using pots or pans on the stove that are way too large, reflecting and conducting a lot of heat back down to where the gas canister is, causing it to burst under pressure, and the gas igniting from the lit burner, causing a nice thermobaric effect I suppose.

Let's focus the discussion purely using a propane (butane too I guess) stove indoors in an emergency with regard to breathing safety.

Are there any risks if you just cook in one room upstairs with the window(s) open?
Do the risks outweigh the safety/security offered by cooking indoors to your opinion?

Post your /out/ edc kit.
Just pretend the sleeping bag is a hammock and this is mine

I want to quit society and live out in nature.
Where can I do this, and how should I prepare?

Post your favorite /out/ patches. Also, how do you display any patches you don't have on a pack? I tried doing a board but I think I need more patches because it feels empty.

Everyone is too depressed and demoralized to give a shit or enact real change.

There is no point to voting, because no matter who you vote for the System will ensure the status quo remains 1:1 with how it was in the previous administration.
There is no point to education, because degrees no longer matter, the white collar industry is dead and professors care more about indoctrination than teaching.
There is no point to dating, because the gender war has become so critical that most men are terminally alone and most women are okay with being single moms or spinsters.
There is no point to consuming entertainment, because all of it is terrible. Movies suck, games suck, music sucks, anime suck, YouTube sucks, everything is just content now.
There is no point to self-improvement, because genetics and childhood trauma impact your entire life and you cannot do anything besides cope about things getting better.
There is no point to saving money or starting a family or trying to own a home or get a stable career or make a name for yourself, because the West only wants to outsource all of this.

People constantly tell me I am in a negative mindset, meanwhile everyone outside is shambling around like the living dead. Tempers are shorter than ever, IQs are lower than ever, no one knows how to control their emotions and tribalism is at an all time high. Humanity has literally regressed back into a hunter-gatherer mindset despite progressivism, but we have zero of the freedom or physical advantages afforded to cavemen.
Reality is now converging with the Mouse Utopia and Stanford Prison Experiment. 80-20 is taken as law. Jews run every sector of the world. Fractional reserve banking won't ever go away. Narcissism and ironic detachment are the norm. War won't ever end.

I don't know what to do anymore because I'm just one guy. I have no power, no motivation, I'm just a husk like everyone else.

I HATE my job, I HATE normies. How tf can I just drop out of society and get neetbux. I have a small farm and a bitch to leach off of but I have no idea how to welfare meme. Do I just tell the doctor im autistic and get disability?!?!?!? I make to much for food stamps and I just don't pay my medical bills for any ER visit ext... I have a kid on the way so im scared to drop out without knowing what to do.... BTW I don't give a fuck what anyone around me thinks.... help... living out my RV BTW the pic is from my homestead back in January

People have begun to lose their hopes and forget their dreams

Nobody cares about anything anymore.
Nobody wants to get together anymore.
Nobody does anything without getting paid anymore.
Nobody wants to do anything anymore.
