Autist here, do you greet or say hello to people when you meet them on hikes or going on a walk through a forest or whatever? What's the social etiquette here?

Have you been to nude beach or been casually naked outdoor in other way? I have been a couple time on nude beach. It wasn't eventful to talk much about it but it felt very nice to walk around and lie down in completely natural, unobstructed by anything state.

Large backpacks:
>Increase spinal compression, traps heat on the back, gear is not accessible without taking it off, weight all concentrated in one place, gets in the way if you're in town or on a train

If you're using a packable compressible sleeping bag, and are using a bivy or light tent, there is no need for a giant backpack, it's much better to carry shit the traditional way (belt/hip/thigh pouches and straps for heavy items + bandolier with pouches + optionally cargo clothes with lots of pockets). This is far more ergonomic (weight loaded near center of mass, dispersed weight distribution, removes pressure point on shoulders, convenient access and organization of gear). You can still carry a smaller civilian backpack for bulkier items. You also don't look homeless this way when you leave the woods to visit town.

Total hiking backpack death

My girlfriend is going to a timber framing convention over the weekend. She wants me to come with her and we will be camping with a van. I used to be local but damn that city really blew up fast. I know a few places off the back of my hand but I’m looking for nice places to camp and have a fire in between the 3 day convention.

I realize there is nowhere to camp in the city, but I’m thinking of the surrounding foothills to the north, and somewhere along the Boise river to the east. I never really explored much of the plains to the south. The less cop and warden interactions the better.

Anyone used Roof-top tents?
What’s your experience with them?
Also why does it seem like so many people hate them?
