would a solo alpine winter ascent of K2 without oxygen be a greater feat than free soloing El Capitan?
so when i go out, which is rarely, its usually just a trip to the woods for 1-2hrs.
but im interested in day hikes. im not really fit, its more the opposite. im pretty skinny and dont have a lot of strength and stamina, is ultralight gear the way to go for me?
i dont plan on sleeping outside, so i dont need a tent.
i need a good backpack, shoes and just the regular stuff. actually, i dont really know what i need for day hikes. i guess enough space for food, water and other necessities. budget is 500
any recommendations or do i just look up yt and see what they say?

The purpose of this general is to encourage people to go /out/ and find cool fossils and artifacts. This thread is also a place to share our own collections and things we find when we are /out/ hunting.
Rules are as follows,
>To just post and discuss fossils and other related geological subjects.
>When you post about a fossil in your collection, please label it with what formation it is from, what it is, and where in the world it is from.
>If you don't know where it originated or the species that is ok, just label it as so
>You can post rocks and minerals as long a they are ones that you have found while /out/

Its been a long while since I last made a general thread, I've been in the prosses of both moving twice in a year and have been tiring to focus on collage. I've moved from fossil hunting in Texas to now hunting in Kansas and boy do I have some cool finds so far from here in central Kansas. And to start the thread here is what I believe to be a tibia of an Ichthyornis bird from the late Cenomanian of the Cretaceous, lower Greenhorn Formation, Russel Co. KS

ok real shit, important question
why is photographing wild animals with drones so looked down upon when trail cams are okay?
>inb4 hurr noise
nigger this isn't 2005, most drones are quiet enough to the point where they can hover 10m over your head and you probably still won't hear it. go ask any slavshit conscripts duking it out in donetsk right now
>inb4 animals have keener senses
again, trailcams. those motherfuckers emit an ungodly amount of IR lights only visible to animals (and other IR cameras i guess) yet no one seems to have any problem with them
high IQ answers only

After a violent confrontation with police he fled into the Victorian High Country.
What followed is a three month manhunt by 500 police, including 125 specialist tactical officers, 20 dog teams, six helicopters, an unknown number of thermal drones and in addition hundreds of military personnel. Despite the effort not so much as a footprint of the man was found.
As the search past its first month the issue became obvious. This guy had four decades of experience in the area, his son calling it his second home. Friends recounted an obsession with bushcraft and a history of living offgrid in makeshift homes, old buses, sheds and caves. He knew the mineshafts were a safe comfortable place at night and as a prepper he was known to stash things in many a hidden place.
As the hunt entered its 2nd month his connections to anti government groups were exposed and the police had to reconcile the fact he may be helped. With thermals completely failing, tactical officers were given the gruelling task of crawling through caves and mineshafts. With no success the Australian public began questioning what all this was costing. Independent media interviewed locals and suspicions were raised, how could such a well liked man kill for no reason? Why has the bodycam footage not been released?
As the hunt entered its 3rd month half the units were sent home. Weeks of snow storms and dangerous conditions had crushed morale. The welfare toll was immense. Stories of psychological damage on officers. PTSD was diagnosed, this man, this ghost, he could have been behind any tree. Various theories were floated, suggestions that if the police couldn't find him then maybe he wasn't even there.
And now there is but a skeleton crew, still searching, refusing to give up.

what strange / spooky stuff have you seen?
once when i was in the desert, there was a telephone pole, on it looked exactly like a 10ft tall bird of prey, just eyeing me down
it was about a good 5min of walking, which felt like forever, just to see that it was a transformer that looked weird, none of the other poles had it either
sounds dumb, but it really did look exactly like a gigantic human sized hawk, and the "head" even seemed to follow you too, really interesting illusion, since it also hit all the primal parts of the brain that gone "you're about to be fucking eaten by a bird!!!!!!"
a year or two later, when i was gonna take a picture, it was gone, which adds a strange air to "it was right there, i tell you!"
>inb4 go to /x/ for this shit
i want real stories, not >i smelled the rotten shit fart gas, and my best friend was turned into a skinwalker, and then i pulled out that gun from videogame and blasted it, dude trust me

>get a bunch of snow in early december
>it stays cold for a week or two
>then suddenly and inexplicably it warms like 25 degrees just in time to make it icy and slushy and patchy on christmas
this has happened every year for the last 7 years or so
are the jews deliberately using their weather machines to prevent white snowy christmases?
don't say they wouldn't do something this petty and spiteful, because they have before
