what do you have to expect when you go hiking with a human female? will she ruin it?what do you think? in which country or US-state can you find the best /out/ girls?
>>1986161Oh, mostly this pissed me off because she went the wrong way and ended up having to split up the group, one guy goes for the car, others go looking for her. And we got stuck in a snow drift with the car because of this. 0/10. Would not repeat.
What do when you walked on all the interesting paths and you can't go elsewhere to hike because of the flu ?
>>1983775Pretend you are with a child. Take charge and be proactive about her comfort.
>>1983775Most of the girls I went hiking with were into nature and camping so they didn't ruin it, what's more they made the trip more pleasant, you don't think women are all city dwellers """""npc""""" do you anon? That's really incel thought
>>1983775Just go for a short hike with her and see for yourself. It's not like there is one model of human female with hiking sliders set for the same values.
Why does /out/ hate this? Seems fine to me.
What makes urbanoids so incredibly awful? Why do they insist on not packing out their trash, and leaving their shitty tags on landmarks?
>>1986594stereotyping all urban people together is just blind ignorance; shitty people exist that do things like litter in every community, even rural ones
>>1986596yeah the irony is a lot of rural people - I'd assume teens and young people especially - are the ones leaving trash and tagging rocks and stuff. City people are just the easiest thing to blame I guess and it reinforces their preconceived notions that they are good stewards of the land and everyone else but them is the problem.
>>1986601i do agree it is fun to blame them, though
>>1986604It just degrades the quality of discussion here. There's a few people here who are adamant that we not talk about which trails are nice because that's "spoonfeeding" - so any attempt to discuss specifics gets derailed by hostility.
>>1984572>>1984572hiking project has nothing to offer for many of the lesser known trails I see on topo maps in WV but that there's no other information about. These areas are very rural.

>>1980999I grew up here and have been here for 30 years. I've seen other great outdoor places, but to say IL doesn't have a decent share of outdoor stuff is ignorant. If you're in Chicagoland, I could see it. We have the best deer hunting in the midwest, maybe even the country. Fishing is debatable.>Illinoisans are up there with Californians and Texans, absolutely dismantling the culture hereThe only ones from IL dismantling your culture are Chicagoans.>>1981800Based. IL prairie is beautiful for what's left of it. There used to be a beautiful clearing with a small hill and a single tree on top of it surrounded by woods you could see from Route 48 just outside Palmer. Someone decided to farm it and now it is no longer beautiful.

What kind of dog is this? I kept trying to throw it sticks but it wouldn't play fetch with me?

I am wanting to get into using a bivy and the part I like is the little to no setup. I was thinking of something lightweight with no poles. I saw the snugpack SF bivy and like how compact it is. Do any of you guys have any experience with it? Is it actually waterproof? I cannot find any videos or anything of anyone actually using it in the rain as a stand-alone option. Is there something else you guys would recommend that is better but still lightweight and compact? I already know about the MSS and am not I want to know if there is a lighter option.
Oh I forgot a recommendation. Borax Gear or Mountain laurel design. Generally because pairing it with a tarp is the preferred option for days with wet weather, I would say the bug net head options.
>>1985776Thanks, everything I have actually seen about this bivy is guys under tarps.
I thought about getting one to put the sleeping setup (ground layer, camping mat, sleeping bag) into a big bed roll, but so far the opinions vary a lot. With the cheaper ones you will have a lot of condensation.
there's a sleep system general you stupid poltard touristliterally just get a tent, bivvies are for queers

>>1985681Damn 20k? I thought yall mostly had 40-200 acre plots in the south?
>>1984765GSPs dominate the NAVDHA game. They make up like 50% of my chapter. I would have gotten one, but Viszlas are just so damn handsome. I do the NAVDHA thing as a way to keep my dog sharp in the off season. I look at it as a bar to aspire towards and as a community to network with. >>1984766I’ve also heard that Vs can be soft. I didn’t get that. I’ve shocked my dog on full power and watched him twitch as he chased a rabbit till it went to ground. Thankfully I’ve broke him of that habit, and now points every thing. I had a pro-trainer who was impressed enough with my dog to tell me that this will be the dog that I judge all others against. Which is great cause I got my dog from a backyard breeder who just wanted to make some money off of their Vs. >how does your V range?In open prairie he works out to 200 yards. In the woods he works closer. And he will check in with me about every 2 minutes. Yesterday I went scaled quail hunting, I walked 6 miles and he did 18, he covers massive ground. Idk why everyone say the Drahthaar is the chad of the versatile dog world.
>>1985999Because those dudes are absolute nazis about their breeding standards. Hard to argue with the results. They follow the German doctrine of breeding and cull pretty ruthlessly. Not the behind the kennel way like the old timers did but their club won’t register a litter unless the dam and sire meet their relatively strict standards. AKC breeders can be pretty clownish in their form over function philosophy. Even us AF guys don’t really give a shit about conformation. Seems like the draht, kurz, and brittany guys strike the best balance between the two. The former two being more versatile and the draht having the more functional coat. Thats the logic behind the reputation imo. Glad to hear the Vs doing better. They are a good deal more aesthetic than a GWP lol. Sounds like you got a great one. When I was in NAVDHA we only had two in our club and they were both boot polishers. That was when I learned you can reel a horizon chasing dog in but getting a closer hunting dog to range out is a bigger challenge.
>>1984338Loads of lurcher type crosses here in the UK. A friend of my gf was walking her three whippet crosses when they took off after a deer. By the time she found them they'd caught, killed and eaten it with basically only the head of the deer still more or less intact.Great dogs. Perfectly calm and gentle 99% of the time, until they spot something they want to chase, at which point they instantly transform into a horrifying 40mph death machine.
>>1986450Wooosh. The joke was my V was jumping a Draht. And yeah, those guys are nazis about their dogs. That’s why the breed is so good. I’m strongly considering adding one to my string.

what's a good pair of snow proof pants to go over over the baselayer and insulation layer?
I want to get a higher end bivi like the Rab Ridge Raider. I like that it's 4 seasons, very low profile for multiday, and quick to setup. Also, I would think that something smaller would insulate better. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Bros can i go camping using only a smersh system. Because it is pretty large and if i get the pkm model it has 4 large molle pouches. So will it work for ultralight hiking for a few day trips?
>>1986091NotOP here, how does one tell true SSO/SPOSN gear from fake shit? Greyshop was the first site I had seen with Russian web gear on it, but I appreciate the heads upTo be entirely honest I'm not sure if I would try doing this with Russian webgear primarily because its easier and cheaper for me to get US webgear where I'm at, but I am interested in trying this idea of camping using web gear (plus STALKing sounds pretty fun, so I'd want to get some for that at least) cool loadout picture by the way, if you've got any pictures if your current loadout I'd love to see it
>>1986378>how does one tell true SSO/SPOSN gear from fake shit? Greyshop was the first site I had seen with Russian web gear on it, but I appreciate the heads upHonestly just airshit forums there are plenty of airshitters with autism who spend considerable amount of time getting authentic gear. By western standards the gear is cheap as shit however so you might as well just go on ebay and buy from the first seller with good reviews.
