I need to get off my phone and I need some outdoor activities. Does walking do anything? I am trying to walk but I think what would moving me legs do to a thin guy like me?
>>2549916Walk around your suburbIf your suburb is too shitty, walk around a nicer suburb
>>2549916Just buy a bikeIt'll get them scrawny calves looking good too
>>2549916bike to the edge of town and walk/bike around the less urbanized outskirts. you'll find a trail eventually. first step is actually going outside, there is more opportunity there than you think, even if it's not as much as someone who lives in a more rural area. something is better than nothing.
>>2549916Find the closest national park near you, go for a 2-3 hour walk and if you dont find yourself calmer then find something else
>>2552835My bike got stolen
>not even 2 hours away from my car >slip over on loose gravel>my 60lb pack pulls my off the trail >land on my back on a slope>slide at least 100ft down >screaming the whole way >slash my hands up trying to stop the slide >thought I was going to die
>>2553040was the image out related?
>>2553040our hot pocket eaters are retards
>>2553048Not knowing the difference between a legitimate question and a complaint is a sign of brain damage. >>2553051No, it was a crying Pepe animated gif. Do all images have to be out-related?
>>2553040Yeah the janny here is relatively based and laid back but has a weird hatred of pepes and apus
>>2553062>has a weird hatred of pepes and apuswe'll allow it.>>2552921>same shit happened to me,>tumbled>then slid>broke the phone on the way down>broke my leg >drag my ass back uphill and set the bone and splint it.>improvise a set of crutches>limp my ass six miles back to the trailhead and the car. Shit's funny now, and I almost NEVER make fun of people with trekking poles now, even if they're not carrying anything.
hey guys.im going to try hitchhike and stealth camp the entire length of newzealand. anyone have any tips when it come to hitchhiking and stealth camping.im going to try walk it as much as possible.what do you guys recommend when it comes to food im mostly gonna consist of porrigde, canned tuna, noodles and some fruit and meat based snacks
>>2553417Based and VH pilled
>>2553409the Te Araroa exists you know, you could hike it.
>>2553409>im going to try walk it as much as possible.just do the Te Araroa thenno need to hitchhike or stealth campliterally everyone does iti work in a hotel in NZ and like 80% of our guests at the moment are richfag boomers just finishing up hiking the length of the country before the cold weather settles in
>>2553409Peanut butter, honey and vegemite sandwichesWorks for me (public toilets hate me tho)
>>2553409>muh stealth campingFuck off, Steve
>believes the Appalachian Trail should extend to Birmingham, Alabama in you're pathWell? Is he right?
>>2551729ive done a lot of trespassing and camping in less than legal places in my youth. its pretty easy to not be seen in the woods. I've had people who were looking for me look straight at me 6 feet away and not see me. taking advantage of lighting is the best way. you are invisible on the edge of the woods with the sun at your back. I was also just a scrappy kid that thought nothing of crawling thought shrubbery and swamps just to get to camp in places no sane person would go.
The Apoolacshit trail should be completely firebombed.
>>2551878Just run the Alabama 650
>>2551729if i saw a bunch of welfare queens circle jerking in the woods i would act like i didnt notice them too
>>2552590Some of it is nice
Anyone able to recommend any kayaks to fit my goal? Something they use or have seen used and personally like?Me: 270 lbs, 6', big guy.Looking for a freshwater lake fishing kayak with sit-on-top style, not sit in. I'd like something big enough and stable enough that I can stand to fish if needed, but I'd also like something big enough to fit a dog on it. Alternatively I want something that wouldn't be terribly difficult to tow some rafts behind for my dogs to hang out.Would probably prefer foot pedals.Budget: 2-4k USD
>>254823875 year old dad has one. Loves it. I love it. He is still in good shape, so I don't know how good it is for someone that weighs 100 lbs more than him.
>>2546803fpbp >>>/fit/70234880

Post your whistles
>>2545710better hope rescuers are already looking for you and already in that small radius when you fire em. you only got a few.i can blow my whistle all day, and use it to freely communicate with my buddy who's also lost with me while we split up to build a signal fire. >>2550862also unless its a moderately high caliber rifle the sound isn't actually going much further than the whistle.
My signal has a whistle.
here's a test of 39 survival whistleshe includes a distance audible test but only through open terrain, not through trees. although i do not believe the results would change too drastically based on the center frequencies he measured.hyperwhistle is better than i thought, i might try one out.if you don't somehow already know this, decibels are not linear. https://www.wattre.com/supporting-document-whistle-testhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0SMVzXhf-s>>2553601you sure its a real survival whistle or a toy/backup one? you're only audible for like 50-70 meters through trees without a real survival whistle. think how surface area works with a circle. you can't actually be heard out in the woods with something like that and its kind of dangerous people get the idea in their head that they can be. much like those dumb chest strap whistles on backpacks.
>>2553189it just does ok ;)
>>2553189Probably it grows from 1 inch to 1 inch and a half.
how can I make the best of my circumstances and enjoy nature if all I have around me are crop fields and fenced off properties?there are some woods but you're completely banned from camping or making a fire (there are big fines, and the locals will report you to the authorities). All the spots that aren't privately owned orare fenced off as a nature reserve are usually packed full of people because I like right next to a city, and these little pieces of actual nature get swarmed by other people, making it feel more like a tourist hotspot than tranquil nature.I want to go hiking, but there's nowhere to walk outside of alongside roads, or through small bits of forest. the best I can do is cycle, but I really want to get away from the roads and other peoplepicrel is what the area around me for hundreds of KM looks like, it's all just crop fields, little patches of forest, and dead villages
ask landowners of forests for permission to camp. hunters and sportsmen do this all the time at big ranches and large woodland lots.
>>2547055Bullshit, everything in that picture screams "old world"
>>2548723Look at Iowa. I can understand if hes never heard of BLM in the context of fed land.
>>2546454damn. except for top right i don't even see a navigable river. that's how i usually travel.

Are you lucky if you get one friend? Second question: Are you lucky?
Why are you folks so hostile towards the transgender community? This is why brave non binary heroes take their own life so often. Ignorant bigots talking shit.
>>2552782gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers. those heroes need to account for 100% not 60%.
>>2552782>brave non binary heroeseven though I know its bait, i still got angry thats how good this bait is
>>2552724I leave filberts in little piles. That way it's natural food but just a little extra so they have enough food. Other in the shell nuts would work too.
>>2552724Are you a recovering drug addict?
Do you know some places to hike/camp where I won't see anybody especially not tourists ?
>>2553053yeah, thought so, have to hike it alone once i guess.my dog's a mix, took him home with me from italy's streets. maybe he's got some lab in him as he loves to swim and retrieve shit he finds in the water. we hike together since he's with me, so for like 4 years now>pic related my dog at the sense river
>>2553269you clearly never been in switzerland then you absolute retard
>>2552893>>2553057>>2553269you sound like an anti social incel. switzerland has no place for beta losers like you
>>2553355You've clearly never experienced real wilderness if you think Switzerland has anything close to it>>2553372You sound like a projecting moron
>>2550975what a fucking retarded question
ITT States with surprisingly good /out/ I'll start:
>>2540797MA is comfy if you like camping in beach-forests and bathing in marsh mud
>>2550549>they watch so its a no goPussy
>>2545943Hidden falls is pretty cool there, in southern Illinois. But I pissed in the wrong Bush and got poison ivy on it. Should have known better, as a Kentucky boy.If you climb up and around the waterfall, and follow the water for a few miles through all the bullshit, there's a really sweet spot a bit away. It's a local spot for teenagers to smoke weed pretty much, but it's still really cool. Hard to find though, even if you know what you're looking y

Hello fellow /Out/ers!I'm about to take on a trip through Europe as cheaply as possible. I need some good boots for long walks through forests, cities, camping in a tent etc. I was thinking of pic related(french ranger boots) because they are reasonably priced, supposedly are indestructible. Don't know about comfort though. I'm planning this trip through april/may, so the weather should be around 10c-20c. Thoughts?
>>2553740Thanks! Those look nice. But why glued? I purchased glued leather hiking boots last december and after a single hike in the snowy trails(40-50km) the front part popped open on both. I thought maybe it's because of the moisture that had expanded during freezing.
>>2553124>>2553091Where are you finding vintage French rangers? The new ones are terrible and made in Africa
>>2553094What is that exact model of us military boot called. I’ve had those since I was a kid and need to know
>>2553795FagButt AssStompers
>>2553763nta but my personal luck with glued boots depends entirely on the design and if they put glued sections where the boot naturally creases, or are smart enough to put the seams elsewhere when designing it. anon's boots appear to be a good design at a glance.
This is a simple question. When hiking does the terrain become too dangerous not to put a helmet on? Give examples of trails that you would use a helmet. A lot of experienced people fuck up and smack their head then die. It's more common than most people know.
>>2549134Park ranger here: I typically wear a no-profile bump cap in a baseball cap for work as standard practice, whenever I go off trail. I'm a little paranoid after seeing what mine are head injuries can do to a guy, for my days in the Army.Pic related, but inside of my NPS cap
>>2552904What minor head injuries* I swear it's phone posting, and not brain damage. The bump cap prevents that.
>>2552904Interesting never heard of these before
>>2552906These things are way more common than you think, and are available for most Walmarts, home depots, Dick's sporting goods etc. Anybody who might get a bump on the noggin but doesn't require a full helmet should wear one. Housing inspectors, general contractors, anyone working in low head spaces, etc. I was a tanker, and I am a little over 6 ft tall, so I used to bang my head on everything, but it wasn't always viable to wear my tanker helmet when I'm just doing basic maintenance.
>>2549140happened to a lady i was hiking with. just roll your ankle somewhere with a heavy pack on and have a rock coincidentally be where your head decides to hit the ground. all it takes. she slipped uphill, not even a lot of force.>>2549134i wear a helmet when there's overhead hazards. >>2552904didn't know these exist, i'm gonna get one.>>2550924depends what trails, nothing dorky about a mountain climber having proper gear on.
It’s a meme, isn’t it?
>>2547076That looks like a cancer bag desu but a side zipper is extremely useful when you carry a lot of different stuff, or simply 2 to 3 weeks worth of food. I think Exo has the best bag design. Easy to get to your food bag without having to pull out your tent, or get to spare socks, heavy baselayer without having to pull a 30 pound food bag. You'll appreciate side zippers when you have to carry winter gear / extra gear, in autumn weather, or simply when it's several weeks between resupplies.
Opinions on picrel (luxurylite stackpack iirc) ?I'm making my own backpack and i was thinking that the three bags looks like a good simple, lightweight solution that allows for some degree of organisation and easy access.I think i'd rather use drybags tho, simpler than his weird design.
Kuiu packs are better
>>2547085>wahhhh have too much access to my things.Idiot.
>>2553724Yup you sure need fast access to the 2/3 of your gear that you never use outside of camp.
I think this group named AnoSurv is new in NRW.
>>2553716no one cares about your fagtag son.
Animals are better!?
Anyone else get this? Sleeping deep in the mountains is like a steroid for my dreams.
>>2553685For me, sleeping in a strange place causes me to sleep lighter, which means I wake more frequently and have better dream recollection as a result. So yes
>>2553685I have vivid dreams when sleeping with a hoodie. Makes me rethink the whole tinfoil hat theory.
