Midges are picky eaters who only like local food. WHY.

Can confirm it's a blood thing, my friend gets eaten alive by midgies whenever we go camping, and my ex used to always end up with ticks all over her body. I'm never bothered.

If you're souf, there are areas of the new forest thick enough to be undisturbed. You could catch the train to Brockenhurst and walk from there.
And I've seen lads with their overnight gear out in the forest of Dean

Does anybody know much about going /out/ in Bavaria, Germany? I've recently fled here and want to explore in the new year.
Their laws are pretty strict on wild camping so I hear. But their forests are large and many

I'm amazed you didn't die being smothered by ticks considering its the worst forest in the country for lyme disease.
I camped there a lot as a kid but after the 100th time of removing a tick in one day I gave up

Overcrowding caused mass agr*culture, out country was mostly thick forest at one point in history but it was all slowly removed to make way for farmland. Pic related is what most of the country looks like, the land cut into squares and divided by hedgerows and barbed wire fences

They're around and they'll fuck your shit up. South downs is also surprisingly bad for lymes.

If you ever get a bite that you can't make sense of (I've had them before where a tick bites you and then the body breaks off before you realise) and it gets a red ring around it that changes/expands, go see mr doctor man immediately.

How bad/permanent is lyme disease? I've never had a tick bite but since I plan on going outdoors alot more next summer it'd be good to know.

There was a meet last month but it's mostly shitposting since then so I don't blame you if you want to just mute #general. We create a new temporary channel for the meet details so you shouldn't miss anything.

Funny enough we've actually got more wildland now than during the Bronze age.
Peak /out/ for Britain was the 'dark age' and medieval era, when the population collapsed.
By William the Conqueror's time 1/3 of the Island was forest.

First thing I did when I came to UK "to steal some jobs", was hiking "over the hills and far away".
And I did and it was great.

not the best option. you can easily cause it to regurgitate into you (how you get the poz) by squeezing the tick, or you can accidentally pull of the body without the head. buy a tick key. hell, even cutting a notch into an old credit card is probably good.
