[57 / 7 / ?]
So this thread may get deleted for being off-topic, but I thought it was time we, as a board, take inventory, and propose a few things for continued enjoyment of the board and cohesion of board culture. Agenda:>1, Board preferences. On /o/, all the motorcycle riders seem to like sportbikes. On /k/, everybody seems to like mosin nagants. On /p/, everybody has a $2000 Canon 5DmkII. None of these are absolutely true generalizations, but there's some truth to be found. What do we like? If another online outdoors community were to refer to /out/ as tending to prefer a certain type of gear or activity, what would it be?>2. Threads that are welcome, threads that aren't welcome, and what to do about it. On /a/, when they get an anime recommendation thread, they just say Boku no Pico. On /an/, when they get a spider identification thread, they simply say that it's a brown recluse. /g/ has a headphone chart. Do we want some stupid canned answer for the many superfluous knife threads here?>3. Names for the different kinds of posters. There are a lot of types of posters here. For instance, someone who paid more for his Patagucci and Arc'Teryx gear than the total sum of all the gasoline to get to all the outdoor destinations he's ever been to. For instance, the lost /k/ommando who isn't aware that there are a lot of hippies here and unwittingly posts about army surplus gear. For instance, the 2serious4u LNT camper who never makes a fire and picks up all the litter he finds on the trail, and shits in a ziploc bag. Please don't turn this into a flamewar. I want to create these nicknakes purely for humor.>4. Original content. Do we have any reaction images yet? Have we been contributing OC to the "stories" threads? OC pictures to the photos threads? Have people made their own infographics specific to this board yet? If not, it's something to keep in mind. What makes /out/ /out/? 5. Anything I didn't mention?

Why not let these things happen naturally as they did on every other board instead of trying to force them?

This is just /k/ 2/0, so we basically have the same memes as them.

also there seems to be an influx of people recently who accuse everyone who doesnt carry a gun to be a no-gun hippy faggot
not sure if those are trolls or serious, but I dont see why we need to further divide the board between people who prefer carrying firearms outdoors and those who dont
there is no reason not to get along

>1, Board preferences. as far as I can see>selfmade shit basically a lot of /out/ seems to have a preference for /diy/ stuff we have knifemakers, bowyers, sheathmakers, people who make their own hammocks, I´ve seen some expert carving too, selfmade tools etc. Im fairly sure we dont like burr grizzley merchandise and gerber stuff

>>75332 >there is no reason not to get along There will always be that divide fire bad, guns bad, tents bad, trapping bad, I can hike further than you, surplus stuff is crap, all I need is a swiss army knife and so forth. Nature of the beast as it were. I will not profess to tall someone in the Alps how to camp and don't take much stock in them telling me what I should do in the swamp. The key here is some civility rather than a flame war based on ones preferences.
And why did he have to take the hatchet?

Worthless novelty tools general.

>>75375 Yes because all swiss army knives have a USB drive and a laser on them. Mine has been far far too useful to be considered a 'novelty'.
Anonymous
>>75379 They are pretty worthless. The tools are all shitty, they are usually difficult to open without another tool or long fingernails.
I'd rather carry an actual tool, hell 10 actual tools than to carry one worthless multi-tool.

hippy faggots are the cancer killing this board. they want to shape it to be EXACTLY how they want it they shit up and threads they dont like. for example, hunting threads, knife threads. you even mention milsurp and they throw a tantrum about how shit it is despite being better than almost all civ gear. just ignore and report the hippy faggots

Cause the Victorinox SAK's are top-tier quality, open easily and offer 80% of a Leatherman's functionality for half its weight and bulk, and a quarter of the price.

>>75407 spoken like a true hippy faggot
im not telling you to go have sex with a tree. you guys have a right to post here as well
what i am telling you is to fuck off with your petty tantrums about stuff you dont like, and shitting up threads on those subjects, talking shit and abusing anyone who doesnt have the same opinion of you, and to knock off this holier than thou attitude you seem to pride yourself on.
>>75410 >your petty tantrums You're doing the same. fucking. thing.
Not to mention, you started it!
>>75396 >hippy faggots are the cancer killing this board.
"Board culture" is something that develops on its own. Do you think any other board made a thread like this to decide these things? No, it happened naturally. That's what makes it special.
