>>630356Actually, the word "survival" around here can be class 1 "triggered" for many.
/out/ is about going outside. Hiking, camping, hunting... stuff like that. /out/ isn't really about "prepping" or "survival". It's about enjoying the outdoors.
Most survival type stuff is pretty bullshit. It deals with apocalypse type stuff. It's meme. A properly prepared outdoorsman is prepared for nature, without having a cache of ammo buried in his yard for when the commies invade.
Nothing wrong with paracord. It has it uses. You know, like parachutes. For the most part it's expensive compared to other cordage. It is also very stretchy, and is heavy compared to other cord. For a bracelet, sure go for it, but other cord is better for most things.
Stick around /out/ for a while. Sure there are some ultra conservative bushcrafers that kinda kill the mood, and there are plenty of newbie hikers that don't know how to pitch a tent unless they're looking at hentai....but for the most part it's chill people who like going outside.
Pic unrelated, also, are you in the bathtub?
