Does anyone know any cow spots or fields I could try to find some p. Cubensis growing
>>1561320If anyone actually does, what the fuck makes you think they haven't raided the place themselves?You have to sc/out/ for these places yourself. There are no free lunches with this shit. Pastures aren't that hard to find.
>>1561320If you're not old enough to ship spores to your house or too socially retarded to ask around for them, maybe you should consider not asking about where you can trespass and sift through cow shit for novice identified mushrooms on an Armenian snowboarding forum.
>>1561356>trespass
>>1561320They prefer horse shit
It's been too long since the last thread. I miss the noises.
>>1562186Nah I live in a completely different city now. I'll find something similar here, just have to explore a bit more
>>1540971For you.
>>1562139>mixpre-3 https://youtu.be/VJd5qIrtU0gWhen I get back home I’ll share some of my opinions on the mixpre series but long story=short the sound quality is awesome.
>>1545161yes it doesyou are not the center of the universe or existence itself
https://youtu.be/yUt7px6BcesYesterday’s sunrise>>1562139With the mixpre you ought to budget for L mount battery sled and some rechargeable batteries even if you plan on powering through the usb. It helps to have a serious backup in case the cable disconnects
I live in the UK and want to get out into nature after a decade of being a housebound NEET.How dumb of an idea is it to walk to the nearest forest an hour away and just hang out there until the following morning. No tent, no hammock, just me and my bag with water, food and an umbrella. I mean it's summer so I'm not gonna die or anything. I just really wanna spend some time out in the wild but I have no money so this is the best I can come up with for now.
>>1562972>Have fun, be safe. Come back to this thread and post some pictures.I'll be going in a month when my parents are on holiday for 2 weeks, I'll do updates with pictures throughout the night if I get a signal and anything interesting happens.
>>1562917Nah that'd work OP. The weatherman says this weekend'll be good. When Ray Mears started camping when he was a kid all he'd take was a blanket and a frying pan. Do take something to sleep on though, even if it's just a yoga mat.
>>1562961I think he'll almost definitely survive but he's going to have a bad time.
>>1562973>I'll be going in a month when my parents are on holiday for 2 weeksAnon, I'm going to overlook the obvious point of beration here to point out that if you're putting yourself in a compromising situation like you are proposing to do it is probably better to have someone around who'll be aware of where you are and able to call for help in your stead just in case, y'know, you die or get injured, something like that.
>>1563024I'm going an hour outside of town, to flat woodland, to sit in a clearing overnight. I'd have to go out of my way to twist my ankle, the worst that'll happen is the heavens open up and drown me in which case I walk home in an hour.If I was going somewhere remote, somewhere really /out/ then I'd take precautions. But this is like sleeping in a park overnight, if I die from this then I fucking deserve it.
>>1562272Trying to convince a good friend of mine to go out with me bushcrafting tomorrow. It's be just one night, but it's using simple bags and we've never done a trip with just us two. Really hope I'll be able to post a couple of pictures here during the event
>>1562272>>1562516These are some pretty LARP pictures, though. I think anyone staying a few nights to a week out would do something much more efficient
>>1562774>>1562887>>1562904I do what I want on my land, boy.
>>1562887dunno about that, i built a wood cabin 10 years ago and visit it often, left the door open and it looks like a lot of animals hang out in it during storms and shit and there's bird nests in the roofseems like a win/win for me
>>1562887What a single dude does with a few logs hardly makes any damage.What's worse for the enviroment are metropolis and happy merchants with their factories.
Post pics of your recent outings. I'll start - Palojärv in Estonia.
Kings Canyon NPFucking-a, this park is the shit.
Southern Ontario.
Ft Mcree pensacola
Just a small lake in NC while i was paddle boarding this weekend. That cove was nice and calm so i could see little schools of fish and some turtles swimming around. Saw a blue heron while i was out too. Any good spots on the east coast where i can paddle on clear water and see wildlife?
>watch yuru camp>wow that looks fun and relaxing>buy some camping gear>go to local campground>full of RVs and people 30 feet apart>try again next weekend in a more remote place>no RVs but full of stone stacking hippieswhy are american campgrounds so crowded compared to japanese? do people actually enjoy camping next to 30 other families?
>>1560248>>1560274>>1562147>>1562244Not sure if curry noodle counts as yuru camp post.
>>1562598Not quite the same. However, with that said I've had no luck finding it in Canada so I guess we just have to make do.
Yeah but, let us suppose I watched Yuru camp. Let us also suppose I have never camped before in my life, have no idea how to do shit.Where can I go learn? Are there any courses I can take?
>>1563019Just go out and so it. You don't need a bachelor's degree in camping to go sleep in a tent for a night
>>1563019Go to the nearest park, make a curry noodle, and eat it.
Anyone here have sex outdoors before? What's it like?
>>1562827I'm not so much into public sex (or sex where you stand a reasonable chance of getting caught), I'd much rather fuck my girlfriend in a nice tent up in the mountains. Not saying I'd never do it outside in some secluded location but I think the fun of that is mostly just the naughtiness of it, sex is best when you have a good private place so you can really get into it without being judged. Also blowjobs are highly overrated.
>>1547742Sex outdoors is basically the same as sec indoors, only there is a hawk killing a squirrel like 50 yards away and the girl is freaking out about it and crying so you have to hold her down for compliance.
>>1562544fucking LOL, this dude is buying plastic condoms...wtf....PLASTIC CONDOMSHe a rrreal lego man huh
>>1563015I was using some figurative language and hyperbole, you literal fucking nigger
>>1563015Also latex is made of polymer, that's a kind of plastic even if it's not what you'd think of as plastic.
Questions that don't deserve their own thread, stupid questions generalDidn't see one up. Well guys, I did it. I bought a cabin in the woods and am going off grid. I have 14 acres of beautiful woodland. First order of business is getting a chainsaw to clear woodland and prep firewood. Also in the market for a good ax.I don't want to spend more than I have to, but I don't want to cheap out either. Any recommendations?
>>1543648I found this fucker dead at my balcony door, what kind of roach is this?I live in germany, according to my research it's an amber roach.
>>1562953
How do you cope with deer flies?
I cater at festivals where it's either BAKING hot or muddy and rainy along with being freezing cold at nightMy main problem however is the damp seeping in wherever I sleep be it the tent or the van so my question is>how do I avoid damp>what's a good budget tent for someone that purely camps in fields focused mainly on waterproofing
Any leaf /out/doorsman here know how taking game that doesn't appear in the hunting or fishing regs works? I found a spot (in ontario) with a ton of crawdads and some kind of clam or mussel the other day and I was wondering if I can just grab as many as I want? Also can I just shoot and harvest birds/small game that don't have season or limits?
I plan on camping on public land for the real /out/ experience, slowly learning how to feed and protect myself out in the wilderness. However, my state (CA) has an epidemic of cartel-owned weed farms that are difficult to spot even by helicopter, and growers are known to kill people for getting too close. For example a hiker in the Humboldt area was shot earlier this year for being near a farm. Plenty of people go missing in the mountains/parks, and it wasn't nature that got them. Sometimes if you're obviously a hiker/camper they'll tell you to fuck off but I'm not counting on being lucky.How am I supposed to deal with people who will kill me for getting close to something I have no idea is there? I feel like I don't even have a chance to truly go camping, I'm stuck in popular, crowded campsites, where it's safe. Somebody on this board has to have dealt with this before.
>>1562467>gets shot>at least he was armed
>>1560018Who the fuck shoots someone over a weed farm in CA? CA isn't part of the US btw.
>>1562527No, US in general. Not just """""COMMIEFORNIA""""" as you put it because you're retarded.
>>1562954Yeah, it is. Hate to break it to you, faggot.
>>1562467Hurr durr it’s not true libertayyy unless you can pitch a tent in a strangers front yard or build a lean-to in the middle of a random farmers wheat field. The refugee thing isn’t really a big problem in Norway. Of course we have some people that believe it’s the end of civilization as we know it, but they’re a minority and consist mostly of misinformed scare snowflakes out of touch with reality.
Hi /out/, my 13 day old weed plant got mostly eaten by slugs, there are only 2 small leaves remaining. Will it survive, and what is the best course of action to help it? I live in south wales, UK. The plant is and indica/ruderalis hybrid.
>>1562976I hope not next time, I have heard stories of plants losing all their leaves and half their stems and still surviving. It still has 3 or 4 leaves, but only 2 are mostly intact
>>1562942Dont pee on it >>1562981They're pretty hardy plants desu so could well bounce back. Slug pellets though. Dont use salt. It washes away too easily
>>1562975I know, but I usually dilute it first to prevent acid burnig the roots.
>>1562983I have put it under a clear plastic cover, almost totally sealed, but air circulation is still going. Hopefully no slugs will get in now and salt will be fine as rain won’t get through. Is the humidity this will introduce beneficial or harmful to the regrowth of the leaves?>pic from last night just before the attack
Damn. Imagine that slug, all high af with the munchies
its been over an hour without a knife thread.r8 my knife
My favorite kitchen knife
>>1561646You just outed yourself as a neet larper. Some people use their shit every day for things other than than being a lumbersexual. I am FAR more likely to need my knife in an emergency out on the water than you are to ever find yourself in a "survival situation" and when shit DOES happenout here it's shit hitting the fan and youve gotta be prepared for that. You're nevergonna survive a plane crash over Alaska or some shit you larping phagurt you don't need a survival knife what you need is to stop disappointing your family
>>1562795dude, no one gives a fucking crap about your shitty job. stop big noting yourself. you are a faggot.
>>1562795You should kill yourself, because you appear to be some kind of boomer I've never seen before. You're also fucking wrong about everything, so you must be deeply religious, which is just another reason for you to fucking off yourself.
>>1551692is that a mini? it looks big, kinda want one
Ask a US Marine that goes /out/ a lot anything. I’ve been to the Mojave and Sierra Nevadas, and have spent a considerable amount of time in the field
>>1562229Taxes that the people chose. Get over yourself, we all vote. If ancaps became the majority we wouldn't have taxes. There is no need for anarchy in this form of government. As long as the people remain with their choice and individualism.
What's it like being around so many blacks and hispanics all the time? Do you get annoyed?
>>1562229My boss sits on his ass while his army of workers labor to create value, which is then stolen from us by the boss who then puts it into his own pocket. Sounds pretty evil to me. Capitalism is just a justification of the theft between boss and laborer.
>>1562832nah. they're alright. mostly. there's bad eggs of every color in the Army. matter of fact it was more often whites that were shamming or trying to get gibs because of their ptsd from working in the admin shop.
>>1562834Look, I find libertarians idiotic, but you marxists are no different. If labour theory of value would actually be a thing, nothing would go broke.
Any parks you recommend? I'm already planning trips to Palo Duro canyon and Big Bend, but would like to start somewhere not so remote. Where have you been?
>>1562808Forgot to say where photo was from.Monaghan’s Texas. Some of my favorite, less remote parks are :McKinny FallsPerdernales FallsBrazos BendPalmettoGoliad Dinosaur ValleyBastrop Gaudalupe RiverStephen F Austin (pic attached)
>>1562810Monahans * stupid auto correct.Here’s Mckinny
>>1562808I'm in the Rio Grande valley. Feels bad to be so far away from everything.>>1562809I meant distant from my home, but it helps to know that Palo Duro is relatively safe to navigate from trailhead to camping area.>>1562810Oof, Goliad. I've never been there. Been to Fredericksburg once, but didn't stay long. I do like those towns out there away from the big cities.
>>1562815If you live in the valley, you have some nice national bird watching centers I believe, I would take advantage to see some of those. There is also Goose Island state park near you, and while it is a car camp spot and highly crowded, remember that state parks allow fishing without a lisence, so that’s a fun day trip apportioning as well.As far as camping go, I would definitely hit up Goliad. Beautiful heavy wooded trails, amazing bird life, and some fantastic mission church ruins to see right outside of the park if you are interested.The next closest areas too you are a good three hours away, but worth it. Palmetto is gorgeous, and has some unique plant life plus it’s known to have a Bigfoot allegedly.Guadalupe river ( pic attached) is another somewhat close to you park that’s worth seeing. Beautiful clear rivers and if you walk the shoreline, you can occasionally find fossils in the rock faces by the streams.
>>1562797I’m moving to TX soon, will be in Ennis. The area seem shit for /out/ or at least day hiking which is what I mostly do. Lots of hunting though. Where to go for day hiking?
Does /out/ read poetry?It's the most /out/ art form for me. Anyone want to share some?Fuck if you've written any I want to hear it too.
This is my favorite poem, it keeps me motivated
>>1562411>>1562633I wrote it last year, but emailed it to Henry today. I am only familiar with Bukowski by name and a few quote memes, I rarely ever read poetry, other than ancient Chinese Zen shit, these days. Much appreciated.
>>1562669BukowskiVegas:there was a frozen tree that I wanted to paintbut the shells came downand in Vegas looking across at a green sunshadeat 3:30 in the morning,I died without nails, without a copy of the Atlantic Monthly,the windows screamed like doves moaning the bombing of Milanand I went out to live with the ratsbut the lights were too brightand I thought maybe I'd better go back and sit in apoetry class:Comment too long.

>>1562744Man, that was pretty interesting. It's like reading a typical normie reaction to a channer showing just a peek at his power level.
>>1562669Cool hope he likes it
