Where and Why Not?

This amuses me endlessly because there's zero evidence that Lyme disease exists, and I've personally been bitten by hundreds of ticks over 30 years with no issues. It's just like covid hysteria, retards freaking out over nothing because of something they heard on the internet. I have engaged in outdoor activities in New England every day since 1990 and I don't give one single fuck about ticks and barely even bother checking for them.

Is /out/ watching solo camping for 2?

Has anyone made sumac lemonade? I am going to try it, there's lots of staghorn sumac around me, the nearest is under some power lines down the street, in the utility easement. It's looking like picrel now so I think about the right time to take some, or by next weekend.

I guess it depends heavily on region and weather when is the best time to pick them but I'll just give it a try, and maybe again later.

Example recipe (there are many but I like this because it's simple) https://freshflavorful.com/foraged-pink-staghorn-sumac-lemonade/

why do i feel a pull towards the unknown and terms like abyss, abyssal and the void? the sea, deep deep sea, vast nothingness yet to be explored. the sheer mystery of it, whale song and other oddities.
also, old abandoned sites and buildings are deeply fascinating. what were their lives like?
of course i'd never step near a underwater cave because i realize it's stupid and suicidal.
but still. it's deeply fascinating.
anyone else? i explore old buildings out in the countryside, run around with a metal detector on old buildsites from 100 years ago, abandoned long long ago. virgin forests are cool too.

Bepis bro, could you please tell me what knife this is?

Camping on a weeknight is incredibly based.
>no normies
>no teenage riff-raff partiers
>no large groups of indians blasting bhangra music and littering the beach with takeout containers
>no large groups on chinese talking loudly and raping the shoreline of all sealife
just breathing room, peace and quiet. life is good bros

Outdoor living or homless?

Good to know:
Safety First, Is high traffic safer because peopple pass on by? How about parks, forests, or less populated areas?

Equipment:
Tent or Tarp, Sleeping Bag, A sleeping pad, portable stove or a simple campfire setup can make cooking easier. Don’t forget a pot and utensils!

Foraging:
Learn about local edible plants and mushrooms. It can supplement your diet and save money.

Water:
It always takes way more water than you expect. Water to brush teeth. Water to drink. When it gets hot I use 10-20Litres a day.
Always have a way to purify water.

Stay Clean:
Keep a kit with soap/ a toothbrush/ and wipes.
Public restrooms can be used to wash up. Don't leave a mess. If you always leave the place cleaner than when you left it, people are less likely to complain.
Use a laundrymat when available.
Not necessarily hygiene, but take care of your mental health.


Other:
Research local laws regarding camping and homelessness.
Remember there are shelters, food banks, and outreach programs.

Is it safe to go hiking in Upstate NY wearing shorts? Or will I die from deer ticks?
