How do I find people interested in /out/ as an 18 year old still in high school? Even after high school, where do I find these people, other than on this board?

Talk to people whether in college or work. Be friendly. Make friends.

Invite some friends on day hikes and see if they get interested, and just keep working up to longer more /out/ activities

High school senior, and it worked for me at least

But are there any specific groups or events for people that like this stuff?

Ok so I just started with our normal crew of friends that were basically all sorta edgy. I have a background of Boy Scouts so i started with stuff i did while in boy scouts. I know as a senior its a little late to join BSA, but you can still try. I know that some colleges have outdoor clubs that people join. and if all else fails redneck people (I've found to be) are the most out of the everyday normie population between mudding and midnight bonefires in the woods

Join your local volunteer emergency flood rescue service The training is just like the Scouts but for adults including survival training. Most of these people are into Hiking and doing SAR is a blast u get to do all the things civilian hikers don't get to do because it is either on forbidden lands or too remote. In Australia it is called the SES I don't know where you live

Why flood? Why not just join any outdoor emergency response team?

I'm a 16 y/o deeply interested in all things /out/, but no one to pursue these interests with. I feel your pain. Hang in there.

join a local club (for example climbing) or try do some qualifications in whatever it is you're interested in, i know for certain there are things such as mountaineering qualifications, which would give you some contacts and probably teach you some useful stuff

I changed a lot of my friends into being more /out/ in high school. I planned camping trips and asked them to go hiking all the time. They eventually got really into on their own and some do solo backpacking trips now when they used to hate hiking.

Some colleges have recreational sports where they plan trips to go camping, climbing, etc. that's a great way to meet people if you're gonna be in college.

Also, if you need a summer job, I'd work at a sporting goods store. I work at REI and the amount of times I've been invited on a hike or to go ice climbing by my coworkers...

I am exactly in the same situation man, literally. No one I know is into /out/ but in a year or so (after I have purchased everything) I want to start.

I would definitely be happy to at least have one person.

Find a Hiking club.

Most will do regular trips out, if they're established enough/big enough quite a few will do volunteer work too - hut maintenance, track clearing, slip repairs, etc.

I go camping with my buddies. I am probably a bit of the going inna driving force,, got 3 friends into hammock camping now, I usually plan trips and it helps motivate them.

I mean who doesn't like going out? Really it's just people haven't been exposed to it.

yea I agree.

where are you and whats your climate? theres very little you really need to go out comfortably,

>surplus bag
>cheap tarp
>budget knife like a mora or sak
>ccf pad
>aa torch
>a lighter
>a pot (I still sometimes take a frying pan from home)
>disposable water bottles
>bank line or other building cord (great budget alternative to fancy cords)

Thats' like £60 worth of stuff man, not even.

I like gear as much as anyone but don't let it stop you from going out.

walking stick you find in the forest

firelighter you find in the forest,, best is pine resin, heated and mixed with char from a hot fire, the putty it makes is awesome.

Getting a car in like 8 months also. My nearest *good* trails are 4+ hours away. (Yes, FL is shit)

Also currently reading, and watching videos to get good.
