Just a friendly reminder that threads about weapons which do not pertain to their use in outdoor activities should be posted on /k/ instead. Thanks.

Do youse forest service folks view youself as public servants or tax harvesters?

Personally, I see myself as a civil servant. My job is to as best I can within the laws and restrictions that I'm bound by, take care of the lands that are held in trust by the federal government for the use of every US citizen.

Any idea how to jump from a State to Federal position? I'm currently with the Alabama Department of Natural Resources and Conservation.

I went through my whole tackle box basically. Tried ever color, went the full spectrum of sizes, tried different presentations with different plastics, used live bait. Nothing made a difference.

Are those things actually good over a classic spook? I watched a few videos and the manufacturer goes on about "sonic signatures" and other as seen on tv type bullshit. The gill frills are a real nice touch though i guess.

Honestly, that's basically it.

But in a relative sense it's all kind of like that. Like the biggest fish I've caught was maybe 30 pounds, but compared to a baking shark or a whale shark thats nothing but nobody really fishes for those. Hell even the biggest fish on earth is tiny compared to the ocean compared to the planet compared to other planets compared to the solar system and what not. In the end all we all are really doing is just trying to live out the human experience and distract ourselves from the fact that we all are temporary parts of a grand phenomenon that none of us can comprehend in the least.

We just had a kid, and our financial state isnt great right now. Every opportunity that comes to mind eventually turns into watching the 4 month old.

My father is visiting Friday for a week and we do plan on going fishing at the lake next week so I'm hoping that'll be a great refresher. Havent been out in a long minute.

Dumb frogposter.

This thread is going to go places. Op wants to ask the broadest question possible with very little details and for us to hold his hand and tell him every little thing he would need to buy. When he finds out it would cost $2500, he won’t buy any of it and would have just wasted everyone’s time

>>1435775
Yeah, bet he will never go out.

Well that's an improvement.

Any tropics/florida/Lousiana/swamp anons here?

What's your advice? I'm looking into getting into the outdoors in general.

I already have some equipment but as you likely know it's very hot in the tropics year round and there's water everywhere. I'm interested in things like mosquito repellant, tools for the dense tropical woodlands, equipment for hiking in swamps/wetlands reading recommendations, etc.

Also general equipment for very hot weather such as tents, (jungle?) sleeping bags, socks, underwear, tarps, backpacks(or a way to avoid back sweat)

I'm currently using a hammock and ultralight tarp, but bugs can literally just bite me from underneath so I'm just going to buy a 360° net and use my (honestly heavy) knitted hammock. I also use a machete, and my general outdoors wear is shorts, a linen shirt, and a shitload of bugspray.

TL,DR; Any general recommendations for very wet and humid places, things which I may not even think about at first or are underrated?

>>1435412
>Please add some more to the 'Let's go to the park and show off my hammock' instagram morons.

The subset of sc/out/s and instagram poster doesn't have much overlap, I assume.

>Fuck you people. I hope you all choke to death in your shitty memes

Maybe go fishing friend, or whatever relaxes you? All that hate isn't good.

>>1435368
Already got the straps n shit done even learned the knots. I will try to set it up in my parents garden first, just for some practical experience in doing and because >>1435412 isnt wrong. Also our local city park has no trees and if there are some they have been shat on with a little rest around. Also fuck unleashed dogs.

I found a dense and not terribly small forest around my schools area, maybe there will be the first overnight stay with lotta clothing. I dont know how to actually deal with the cold now, but i will find out.
Also camping or the such is basically illegal where i live, even though not prosecuted but the local police is a bunch of small dicked assholes.

No. It's all ugly rice fields and there are no beauiful desolate mountain ranges were you can hike for days without seeing another soul. Stay in Shreveport. Lots of wonderful diversity there.

Best method for removing small bits of rust on my axe head without removing the handle?

>>1435623
Boiling it... Converts oxidized rust to black rust aka blueing won't look super pretty but will definitely protect the head without altering head treat or anything like that....

Also elctrosis is another method that doesn't harm the head but may not get all the rust off .

En waarom is het niet pakkend autistische Zuiderbuur? Het is een simpel volksverhaal met gerijm op het deuntje. Het is geen hoge kunst maar prima genoeg om makkelijk in de geest te houden en te kunnen neuriën, en dat is het hele punt van een volksliedje. Het Wilhelmus is als nummer niet echt geschikt voor een lange mars.

Komaan, je kan beter dan dit. In het Engels voor wie mee wil lezen:

Schubert took it upon himself to set Goethe's poetry onto music, looking for a blend between the classical style in which he was educated and the folkloric style that he grew up with.
He took some of Goethe's most pastoral poetry and put it to music, making sure that 1: the compositions themselves were interesting enough to listen to for a critical and educated audience and 2: that they could be easily stripped down and sung by anyone, even without the need of (sometimes even a virtuoso) pianist.

The most popular example is Der Lindenbaum, is a folktale put to poetry by Goethe, put to music by Schubert. The refrain is easy to sing or whistle while walking, while also having a gracefull text which perfectly works or it's own, of for deeper analysis is that's what you like, both the poetry and music having far-reaching influence in the 19th and 20th centuries, inspiring the likes of Caspar David Friedrich and Thomas Mann (And I know you understand the text, since you're Dutch and likely not retarded)
