/out/ - Outdoors » Thread #2700346

Backpacking as a child was one of the most memorable times of my childhood. I asked my parents why we stopped and they said I complained the whole time and thought I hated it.

My dad took me and my sisters out hiking every week growing up. Now I do the same with my gf and hopefully our kids in the future. It emparted a sort of blissful sense that I basically am always searching for in nature

most of /out/ was raised by minimally functional single mothers.
Hence the continuous, unending, fatherless behavior and mindsets here.

Sure am. In fact, I'm visiting my parents atm and we're going to go for a hike this afternoon. Nothing too serious but should be at least a couple of hours in the mountains.

Extremely thankful but it's also a bit sad. I look at all my peers around me in adulthood and none of them have the appreciation that I do. None of them shared the same up bringing. They don't have the nostalgic feeling I get when there is a slight chill and a sprinkle of rain and I think back to being on the duck pond as a kid. They just get pissy it's sprinkling. Or when a gust of wind blows some leaves across the side walk and it brings me back to squirrel hunting in the woods where you just sat there with nature listening and looking. Kind of a first world curse in the modern age. I still do those things now and I still feel the same way as I did back then. There is just a lack of appreciation of it 40 years later.

hell yea, split by my Dad, Swedish, going out in the same forests he did as a kid, learning to fish, forage and just the calm of being in the woods.
to my Grandpa, learning harsh lessons from the war. growing food withought the fancy "mom advice" from websites nowadays, learning to ride a horse, the kind of rough as fuck medical knowledge you only get from a man of that time, but also the kind and compassionate personality of a man who never had that.
(not to mention my grandma and mom who have made sure that i can mend all my gear, cook and keep the lights on)

My dad and uncle used to take me, my siblings and cousins car camping up in the mountains. The campfire cooking, watching the fire at night, swimming all day in the river, hiking up the river & fishing. It was some of the best times of my life.

Also my grandpa used to take us bushwalking up in the mountains at his forest block where he lived in a log cabin. Taught us lots of little tips, how to shoot, navigate by the stars etc;
I do miss him even though we weren't super close, he was a very hard & old fashioned man.

yes, dad taught me a lot about hunting and fishing, or at least lit the fire under my butt to figure out some of it that he didn't show me. i think my mom was better about teaching me how to fillet fish and clean game birds, but the stalking/shooting bit was mostly my dad.
both are too old to hunt now, they'd walk one field for birds and be too tired/sore to go on so i hunt solo now.

My dad was not an "absentee father" by any means, he taught me a lot and spent plenty of time with me but outdoors was not one of those things. He just didn't have an interest in camping or hunting or stuff like that.
My grandparents were outdoorsy though, so I guess it skipped a generation. I have a baby on the way now, I'll be excited to teach them about the outdoors and keep that alive.

Yeah I still hunt mostly with my dad, we do some pretty big trips. He's a badass for a 60 year old. Taught me a lot. His dad was a real chip off the old block hunter and bushman, me and dad often find ourselves in far out places and we think the chances are pretty high that the last human to stand there was my grandad 40 or so years ago.

Yeah, I thought it was normal to know about wildlife and plants until I took my friends hiking. They thought I was a fucking druid when I called out bird names, collected edible plants etc

No. We literally lived in the forest and yet they sheltered me and kept me away from everything.
I had to learn everything myself after college. FUCK BOOMERS.

No, since I had to learn them on my own.
My dad did teach me fly fishing though, so some /out/ skills were learnt from one of my parents.
The rest was learned by spending as much time as possible /out/ ever since I learned to walk.
