Is it hard to be /out/ without a car where you live?

I tend to catch the train as close to the spot as possible and hitch hike or walk the rest as I can't get my license till I'm 21 so a few more months for me.

Does your Uber driver ever ask why you're going into the middle of the woods by yourself lol

not hard just a little inconvenient. the bus/train might leave only once a day, you have to start your hike doing 20km of dirt road just getting to the trail etc. one of the most popular trails starts at the local international airport, you can fly in, do the 10 day hike, take the bus back to the airport, fly home. but most of us here have unlimited kiking and /out/ possibilities right outside our doorstep. no matter where you live in my cunt (norway) you could put on your backpack and start walking from your house, by the end of the day you are in a forest or somewhere nice to camp.

usually the big backpack with a sleeping bag attached explains most of it

If I go to piss off my porch, I'm already /out/, since this is BFE and the nearest eyeballs are about 3 miles away.

It's pretty hard, but in theory doable. There's public transport to many villages in the mountains.

I wouldn't do it for a day hike though, as public transport is slow and unreliable. If you're doing a multi day you can afford the extra hours on a bus or train, not if you need to fit 7-8 hours of hiking in between bus rides in a single day.

Yes. I live in central Jersey. Everything worthwhile is at least an hour's drive away unless I want to go to my local parks which also generally require a short drive. No public transit around me to fun /out/ places either. The Pine Barrens are the closest thing I have around me.

Absolutely. If you don't have at least 50 metric tons of water to go back to at this time of year you expire. Not that I'm getting out much because out is currently completely incinerated.

Have you ever had a seizure while out and do you have concerns about your safety?

Sort of, I live in an Urban Village in Lancashire, so essentially suburbs. Its a good hours walk at least to the nearest bit of countryside and if I want to go properly out its several hours walk or a long journey on the bus.
Its frustrating and limits my time /out/, but I have to make the effort, or go stir crazy.

haugesund is not that bad, definetly fits the hike from your doorstep thing. if you want to get into the real stuff you migh have to follow some roads and cross a few settlements, but then you are in glacier land!

yea a few times
I'm not too concerned because I usually have a bit of warning from gut feel and I don't rock climb or whitewater raft or anything real dangerous
it sucks because my condition isn't super severe and life threatening I just spontaneously feel the need to lie down and take a really twitchy nap for about 5-10 min
if it happens I just try to find a comfy patch of grass and make sure to drop my pack

værnes, trondheim airport. the hiking route is called across norway or something and goes from the coastline to the swedish border, its official starting point is at the local tourist office but most people just go from the airport or train station instead. its a nasty hike the first day or two, lots of tarmac/dirt road and elevation to get above the valley, might need an extra night in tent there. then its all short daywalks in pure nature, as seen on the map. half red cabins are open and unserviced, fully red ones are serviced. expect to meet people at this trail, and id you want a day or 3 more you go down to storlien/duved in sweden and catch a train from there instead of the almost daily bus from tydal.

Not super hard, where I live, theres a pretty much forgotten trail system tucked away behind a park 4 minutes from me. I can go up on the mountain whenever if I just want /out/ but I'd really like to see some new places haha

My beaver pond was on the verge of overflowing last night and then it rained.
I'm not sure if I have a driveway anymore.
If I go check right now I'll have enough time to repair it with the tractor and make it to work. But I really don't feel like going to work today.

City folks will never understand our way of life.

you dont have to do a trail hike offcourse. there is free nature, open for anyone just 30min of walking from the airport in any direction. airbnb and inatur.no cabins for rental close by if you dont want tent life. not shure how many international flights go here, but most european citys could get you here really cheap off season. if you live in a urban shithole its still a world of possibilities out there.

any alcohol in the picture here? what you describe is literally me when i sober up. i can work 12hours, drink myself to sleep, wake up and repeat. did that for 3 weeks this summer, its when i try to normalize my life, drop the beers at night and find a normal everyday routine it hits me. seizures like you describe, last time i was working 1500km away and had a long ass drive home, even if i weened off the beer a few days before driving home i still found myself getting seizure like blackouts while driving. scary as fuck, had to take long detours to avoid tunnels and citys.

It's technically possible but the only place you could get is desert
Innawoods is too far and no buses run that far. I guess you could bike it but it's about an hour's drive involving freeways and/or dangerous high traffic roads
