hey canada bros. i've been approved a visa to go live and work in canada and wondered if there's anywhere you guys would recommend checking out for places to live? >30 year old boomer currently in london uk>enough savings to move and get settled>should be employable (marketing background)>previously lived in toronto, and have driven across the country to vancouver>want to live close to nature and go hiking and camping. i can handle a city during the week if it means i can fuck off at the weekends>strongly considering calgary. vancouver seems far too expensive. toronto's too distant from decent outdoors from what i remember. anywhere else i should be looking at?
>>2180062>Said the urbanite soi consuming redditor faggot from toronto with a bad case of bitch times and castration levels of estrogen.Lmao
>>2179761In the Atlantics the land is cheep and the game is good.Not a lot of shitskins either.
I remember a while back on pol there was a Canada is collapsing general where they were posting pics of $30 bags of milk and claiming Canada's economy is collapsing. Living cost is very affordable(excluding rent) in most populated areas but the farther out you go like Yukon, NW territories, even northern BC shit gets expensive fast.
>>2179761Western Canada is the best if your into out. Avoid the big cities as they cost a lot. Small towns are the best

Post cool locations and photos from anywhere in the wonderful state of New Jersey.
>>2178836Had to google it but>Deciduous treeI don't see why it shouldn't unless it's fruiting season begins late and requires warmer tempsAlso found this article:https://ediblejersey.ediblecommunities.com/eat/pawpaws-0Basically confirms that idea, as the fruit ripens between septermber and october. First frost begins around mid october.
>>2178836> I drove all the way to Lancaster county PA last year to get some (3 hours from me)fuck you new jersey niggers i will slash your tires if i see you here againYes they grow in J*rsey, check inaturalist they will have the locations mapped out. Pawpaws like heavily forested areas close to river banks, but not right on the water.They grow in the sourlands near cattail brook, in your toxic waste dump of a state containment zone.They also grow in Timber Creek Park in Camden, and Mercer County /Rosedale park near princeton.https://wildplantculture.com/home/2016/10/6/featured-plant-pawpawhttps://www.nj.com/south-jersey-towns/2015/05/pawpaw_picking_difficult_in_so.htmlIf you're a south J*rsey nigger, they also grow in fairmont park in filthadelphia, there's a few dedicated trees by the jap garden. That's a guaranteed spot if you don't want to actually search for them. And filthadelphia is basically new jersey already, both geographically and culturally.https://www.inquirer.com/philly/food/pawpaws-north-america-largest-native-fruit-recipe-20180920.html

>>2180284transplants will bloom and set peppers later due to a brief shock period, you can get around this by using peat pots or cowpots, since the roots can grow straight through those
what are some companion planting that actually works
>>2180283>haarp/chemtrailsDidn't they say that they are spraying you with aluminum to reflect back the sun rays and "cool" the planet manually? That' and better reception for their radio?
are there any decent big box store (america) potting mixes/soils and fertilizers that contain ZERO animal or insect products/byproducts

>>2179668This one is solar powered.about $100. Not that I disagree, ,I don't know why anyone would want a battery powered watch when there are solar ones. Mechanical is its own thing
>>2178162Yesssssss vostok chad, I wear mine when I'm /out/ kayaking fishing or swimming in the ocean, when it won't get beat up as much as when I'm innawoods and wearing my G shock. I have the classic scuba dude dial.
>>2180264eh to be honest I wasn't too impressed with it. I found the free spinning bezel feels really cheap and unpleasant,and the case shape is ugly as fuck. I might end up selling it if I ever see anything better but 38mm dive watches with Arabic hour markers are so fucking rare it's unreal.
Any watch recs with an altimeter and a barometer?
We really should have started our intentional community a few years ago guys.Prices have really spiked and costs will likely be twice what they were before.Should we wait it out and hope prices come down or should we buy something now while we can still afford at least a mediocre plot of land?

On sunday I fucked up and ended up touching some giant hogweed with the back of my hands. I didn't even know about this plant until I woke up this morning with a long blister forming where it scratched me, and its gotten worse and more painful throughout the day.I'm pretty sure I've gotten off easy as I have one large blister on one hand, and a tiny blister on the other, but don't have anything on my legs or on my arms. I do have a couple rashes on my legs and on my arms, but hopefully that's just standard irritation and not from the hogweed.Any of you have any experiences with this plant? What am I in for here? Lesson learned: wear pants, wear long sleeves, don't touch plants you can't identify.captcha: 404YY
No but I got bit on the nut by a mosquito twice now. If you are wearing shorts or light pants and crouching it pulls them taunt over your balls which gives mosquitos a chance to go drilling. Hope that saves another anon from an involuntary suqq.

I understand this is exactly the right place, but then again nowhere really is, so I'll just do it here. I have a feeling shit will hit the fan sometime, could be years, could be days, so I want to have a contigency plan for evacuation, here are the facts:>live in a city, somewhat small, have a car, can get onto a highway fairly quickly.>Have a huge stache of bottled water, not much food>Have yet detailed the escape plan, but I have a rough sketch mapped out in my headIf any anon feels like larping or otherwise, I'd appreciate the help.
>>2179589this isnt*
Where can I find a group to go /out/ in excursions? No, I don't use FB
>>2164925I enjoy going out into the Mojave to LARP as a new Vegas cowboy
How do I find game recipes that arent 5 paragraphs if marsha stewart bullshit without browsing boomer survival forums? For example any squirrel recipe could be shortented to like a single fucking sentence."Crock pot on high w vegetables for 6 hours"Or"brine then fry on medium with egg and flower" Somehow gets turned into a 300 page novel on the battle of new orleans and growing up in rural idaho. I want to backwoods white trash cook a racoon without even fucking seeing the word "braise" and its far more difficult to find than I would like. Im hunting for subsistence and don't have 6 spare hours to spare on this homemakers magazine bullshit.
There are too many garbage larp threads on /out/ right nowProve that you actually go outside by posting a pic from your most recent /out/ing, and rate other people's campsites>inb4 b-b-but i don't have any picturessee pic related, larpers please fuck off

Fuck off with that man
I’m going on my first solo road trip with my dogs to the Rockies tomorrow. I wanna hike mount elbert at some point. Would that be too strenuous for an 8 year old medium sized dog? Would elevation change be too much. I’m a retard so word nicely please
>>2180245It's possible but I wouldn't even bother attempting it. You would have to get a harness for something as small as and as wriggly as a cat, and then keep their harness leashed up all the time. I imagine if you got them used to this as a kitten, they would adapt to it, but good luck trying to teach a five year old cat to wear a harness and be restrained on walks.
Don't worry the dog will outlast you by miles with all the gear you would be wearing (depending on the length of the trip obviously). However the dogo will be so excited it could potentially strain its body too much and this has happened to me (dog had similar age). I even had to take a day off from walking because of it.So my advice is take a long leash and limit the running so that the dog can last the whole trip. Be smart about the water situation. When you go for fetching wood for a fire never let your dog follow you in elevation also happened to me. When you parkour elevation chain your dog because the chances of the dogo slipping of the hillside are just too big when they get excited.Lastly give it a sturdy necklace with a metal container containing your phone number. Again depending on the length of the hike.
>>2180253For clarity I mean very steep elevation; when you leave the trail at night to fetch some wood in some very rough terrain. Normal elevation on the trail is no problem for them.
>>2180245depends how much your cat likes you I suppose, but probably an awful idea
>>2180245>>2180248>>2180274I know a wook who has taken his cat hiking up a few of the easier ADK mountains more than several times. Idk how. I have very well behaved cats and the hate the outdoors and just cyclone on harnesses
