This might be verging on off topic but does anyone else love seeing what kind of gaming set ups they can pull off with a low budget and low weight? There's just something about hooking up a tiny computer screen in a cabin with no sound or scuffed sound that makes the experience way more enjoyable than just using the TV at home.

>>2755643 I remember playing through Metal Gear Solid and all the Mega Man X games on my first smartphone. It was on my class trips from my boarding school (they also gave me an old computer in my room as part of Senior privileges and I ended up playing through Majora's Mask and MGS Peace Walker. The school ended up upgrading their security to keep people from playing games on the computers after that.

Can you parachute off the top of K2 and Everest? That would make short work of descending. Think of how epic that would be. A quick way for those who are struggling to return to base camp.

>>2756950 Yes but you risk being blown into the side of the mountain. There's a very small chance you'd land somewhere accessible from which you could disconnect your parachute and continue your descent. More likely you'd be slammed into rocks, get your lines tangled, the parachute ripped, and then pulled back off the rocks by winds on your now ripped parachute. You would spin wildly, slam into the the rocks over and over again until your lines were all cut or the parachute too shredded to generate enough pull on your body to get airborne again. Your broken and bloodied body likely would end up somewhere completely inaccessible and never recovered.

Korea is an underrated /out/ country. It's mountainous so there are tons of great places to hike, backpack, climb, boulder, and mountain bike. It has a long distance bike trail that you can ride the length of the country. It's a peninsula so plenty of great spots to ocean kayak, inlet kayak, and fish. All while have great public transportation to travel to all these places. Also has a strong supporting culture for /out/ activities.

The mountain-scape in Korea is like a wrinkled up blanket though... it goes from flat valley bottom to steap terrain in no time flat and it does this over and over and over... it's pretty brutal actually. Also--monsoon season is a thing.

I've been looking around for a good hammock but a lot of the recommended brands I've seen in discussions either aren't making them anymore or are completely sold out. Could I get some hammock recommendations as well as general tips for hammock camping?

>>2757932 Not that anon but probably 300-400. Thats 2 hammocks though and an underquilt. They are right though the 5 dollar blessed Menard's is almost certainly less comfortable than a proper 11ft hammock. The extra length and the diagonal position let's you avoid the curve and take pressure off your back.
>>2757935 Demonstratively false, but almost all the cheaper parachute nylon fabric hammocks are the same I'll give you that. Mostly because the machine that makes them tops out at about a 9.5ft length. On these the width makes up a little for the short length but if you're really sleeping in it spend the extra 30 bucks or whatever for an 11ft when you committed.

Good day gentlemen. What is one to do when all lands are claimed as private estates, surrounded by barbed wire and guarded by mistrustful boomers? No matter where I venture, I am deemed a trespasser. Even the so-called 'public lands' are often forbidden. I understand that in these troubled times, the presence of disreputable individuals makes it challenging to maintain order. Yet, I grow weary of constantly watching my back. And before you levy any unkind judgments upon me, know that my experiences in the great outdoors far exceed those of the average normie soul. I speak with the authority of one well-versed in the ways of nature. It is disheartening beyond measure to feel the weight of suspicion when all I desire is to explore this wondrous Earth. Should I surrender to this frustration and seek refuge in the wilds of Scotland?

Scotland is a train ride away. Regardless you should definetly head up there if you haven't been, it's brilliant. But camping in the hills of England and Wales isn't new. Hike up into the hills in the afternoon, enjoy yourself until it's close to sunset, pitch up and sleep. Then rise with the sun, break your fast, and break camp. Ideally you don't pitch too early or leave too late. Leave no trace and all that. No one is roaming the hills at dusk and dawn to catch wild campers. However, due to an increase in people not following these basic rules, pitch way too early or leaving way too late, leaving rubbish etc. I fear a backlash. Promote best practice and enjoy yourself.

im a 20yr old chronically online male, i've fantasized about going camping/hiking alone for years but never had the money nor guts to take the plunge, what kind of places or equipment do you anons recommend for a beginner like me? my goal is to someday travel around my country for a month while camping inbetween.

Increase incrementally on the hiking front, I would avoid adding weekly more than 10% more distance/elevation gain than you did the week before. Depending on your living situation try 'camping' in your backyard or even your literal living room, only use what you would have fully packed up.

You probably have what you need to start already . A back pack, water bottle , some munchies, a comfortable pair of shoes and clothing appropriate for the days weather is all you need for a nice day hike. Start with a day hike every now and then. As you are outside you will figure out what gear you want. Maybe different shoes for your hiking trips, maybe a different back pack. The key is just get outside to start.

Hey /out/. Newb needs advice on layering the insides of a hammock for camping through the night.> Eas- Central Europe, German-Poland Baltic coast. > Climate is temperate summer, nights around 15-22 C/55-70 F. > Weather forecast is mostly useless, rain and thunderstorms can happen early, late, not at all, or out of nowhere. > Humid af, some swamps/marshes. > Boars. A fuckton of boars acclimated to humans and human trash. I'm gonna spend one night in the forest, starting small. Most of my gear is going to dirt cheap Chinesium because I'm poor as fuck. I want to get a tarp+hammock+insect net combo, but I have no idea what's next. Should I get a foam mat? Aren't those too rigid to go into a hammock? Would a sleeping bag be enough? I do have a fairly lightweight wool blanket from commie times that I could dig up, recon that would be useful? Any other relevant info you can share will be appreciated.

>>2757336 >>2757351 Thanks, I looked into what underquilts are, and how can they be (sorta) replaced with a wool blanket.
I've got a foam mat too lying around somewhere, so I will make use of that.
I googled the prussic knot, and damn what useful knot that is!
And googling for what you two mentioned sent me down a fairly deep youtube hammocking rabbit hole, so thanks for that :)

Doesn't need to be a quilt, either. Dead air space under the hammock, like from a sheet of painter's tarp tied off at the head and feet, filled with dry grass/leaves will work amazingly well.

if you already have a woolen blanket and you can't to buy anything else go for it. It's not a bad pick just not the optimal one, see how it works for you
>>2757886 Correct, it's named after Karl Prusik, an Austrian mountaineer and inventor of the knot. It often gets conflated with Prussia
