Eurofag here planning to visit the States this summer. Is picrel the best /out/ state in the continental US aside from the Great Lakes and the West Coast or is it full?
>>2713229Well yeah all the Western states have mountains, that's kind what defines the West. But only a few of these really have similar geography to Colorado. Wyoming, New Mexico, and Montana mainly. Flat plains that rise into the mountains gradually across the state. Washington, Oregon and Wyoming almost but less so. A state like Utah is vastly different, other than small areas of Colorado bordering Utah. California? There is nothing like the San Joaquin Valley in Colorado, let alone the coastline.
>>2713251I fucked up and mentioned Wyoming twice but you get the idea. It's kind of in between. The point is a state being comparable is a question of degrees. Hell you could say Missouri or Vermont have comparable geography to Colorado and be technically correct. It's just a pointless statement.
>>2713252youre a pointless statement
>>2712706it's new hampshire
>>2713253very true but I'll die eventually :^)
Is there any good camping spots in the path of the totality in Texas?I am about one long days drive from Austin Will it already be too hot by april 8th?Are any of the anons that met up in Casper for the last one still around?Eclipse thread
>>27108432017, but before that yeah 20 years or so
>>2711191the one in 2017 was attended by many /out/ists Then they all went darkCoincidence ?
>>2711120Cap. There hasn't been a /out/ gathering in easily 10 years.
>>2712855There have been several including london anon hitchhiking across the country meeting up with a /out/ists.I dont think even he lurks here anymore
>>2639545I live in Cleveland you can just stay at my place m8
i plan to go spend a week in the paris catacombs, 30 meters deep underground with no electricity, light or cell phone network. now, i suppose i need:>food for a week>water for a week (or a water purifier, theres plenty of flooded tunnels)>something to charge my phone and flashlight>some kind of potty>some sleeping bag or matressand a way to prevent passerbys from stealing all of the above. what do you recommend, /out/?
>>2709123Is this the first time that /out/ has had an anon die?
>>2709123>>2708976Didnt find news coverage, anyone got source ?
>>2711133No but its hard to keep track for obvious reasons
>>2700986You know what they mean. They mean poor low IQ brownoids
Clack clack rattle rattle, OP.
Have you ever stumbled on someones weed crop out in the wild?
>>2712731No one "grows" magic mushrooms from cow pies. Be real - would someone rather grow mushrooms in a fertile, indoor, controllable, non-shit environment like a bag of rice, or in cow shit?Plus, shrooms don't get you high, they make you trip, big difference if you're not tarded
>>2708840If you set up a still in national forest I will destroy that too
>>2713192The only people who split hairs over the definitions of getting high are worthless stoners
>>2713199Are you going to kill yourself after the dopamine hits?
>>2713216what are you on about
I have only ever hiked in Europe but I'm interested in experiences other places when I take a sabbatical next year. Pic rel is the type of environments I have hiked.Pictures please!
>>2713179You could be 500 miles deep in the Amazon jungle and planes will still be flying overhead. If you dont think thats tragic you shouldnt be on this board.
>>2713180this is the outdoors board, not the misanthropy board
>>2713187Yeah thats why we go backpacking in malls and hiking in the suburbs.Get fucked retard.
>>2712859thanks for the pic anon, i'll be using it as my phone wallpaper from now on, till i find a better one

Welcome to beekeeping general. Discuss apiary and bees.Old thread: >>2577491
>>2712628Thanks! I feel a little guilty about wanting honeybees rather than something native, but I'd really like to be able to gather some honey and beeswax. And yeah as far as as flowhives go, I'm inherently skeptical of anything that looks like it's promising to take away a bunch of the work. Would you recommend warre hives?
>>2712692Yes, it's awkward when people think we are "saving the bees"...Warré are okay but if I were to start again, I'd just copy my mentor's system the first few seasons. They have an entirely different work strategy, I think it's only a good idea if you find a guy who uses them.
>>2710168Amusing
>>2712692If your concerned about native pollinators, why not include some native bee houses on your property and actively grow a wildflower garden? I have a few beehouses on my property and have never had issues with my bees :)
>>2713043Good idea, I wanted to grow more native plants in place of empty grass anyways.
What's the most interesting geocache you've found? There's one in my local area that's inside of an old bit of stone piping that I haven't had the balls to go collect yet.
I downloaded your app and it says there's a hundred in my area. This seems fishy, I think I would have accidentally found one by now
>>2711027Upvoted
I hate these, I'll find one now and then and think I've found someone's weed stash but it's really just some rubbish.
>>2710914Theres never anything good in them. I draw a big fat penis on the gay ass pointless logbook when I find one
I wandered off a trail last year and stumbled upon this ammo can buried under some rocks. The cache itself is just a logbook, but I was completely stoked that I found some neat little secret thing by wandering around the wilderness.

>>2713141Almost as though it's a specific genre of video that people enjoy watching
>>2713141>set up your camera>go back and nonchalantly walk as if you just arrived>run back to fetch your cameraEven Les Stroud does this. Love the man and his stuff, but hate this nonsense. I know it's for TV (or in your case, YouTube) but it doesn't add anything for me, just subtracts from the show.Still not as funny as those Bear Grylls scenes taken three steps from a busy road.
>>2713193This, I prefer when they just set up the camera at their car, walk into the woods and leave it filming, then come back to get it three days later. That's real.

1. Anyone here tried growing mushroom buckets before? It takes up a small area and the amount of food produced (allegedy) makes it enticing 2. Would they grow in hot weather or would they just die out? Gets to 40C here in Summer, pretty hot even in full shade.My idea is to put some towers under some shade cloth and plastic sheets (to retain moisture)3. Could I start propagating mushrooms from those grow box kits? No one ships mycelium here except as those.Thought I could let it grow to the first flush, then break it apart into buckets.
>>2712055>Anyone here tried growing mushroom buckets before?I haven't tried using buckets like that, but I have grown some mushrooms. Read "Growing Mushrooms the Easy Way" by R Rush Wayne >Would they grow in hot weather or would they just die out? Gets to 40C here in Summer, pretty hot even in full shade.Depends on the species. If you're growing outside then you will need to be aware of the season the mushrooms fruit in. If you're growing indoors then you just need to simulate the fruiting conditions.>Could I start propagating mushrooms from those grow box kits?Sure. You can also use mushrooms from the store, either by harvesting the spores, or by cloning the stem. Try reading "Mycelium Running" and "Radical Mycology" for tips on both. There are several other books you can read that go in depth into specific mushroom species and how best to care for them.Also, if you're sterilizing your medium then you can use uncharged biochar in place of peat or vermiculite. If you can't find or make biochar buy some lump charcoal and crush it to the right grade.

Does anyone here have any experience working trail maintenance (or similar) jobs? I'm considering applying for a local position and would like to hear some anons firsthand experience.
Am interested how this goes. Over here I cant think of a job that doesnt require an education, connection or something
>>2709283In the same boat man. In this shit together
>>2706680>worked for freeLmao.
>>2709283>>2709364There are private companies that have the primary focus of trail construction and maintenance.Usually parks and agencies will contract these businesses to build trails or they will have volunteers from various organizations building them. From my experience, state agencies will usually have their park/land maintenance staff maintain the trail with the help of volunteer groups, sometimes there might hurt be a dedicated trail guy or two whose job is to care for the trails, but that’s usually a seasonal gig.If you want to make money and have a, it’s in the whole trail design process, management, bureaucracy side of things. Typically agencies and cities with large enough metro park systems will have someone who designs and plans trail projects, although this is also outsourced to private companies as well.t trailfag
>>2706620get on neetbux and you can hike whenever you want
Tell me a story /out/. You guys have the best stories.
>>2698283do you do walks in nature? you don't have to spend the night...or just sleep in your car...seriously.
>>2703664nice
>>2712561Gay
>>2712561Cops are fags, but you're a gay faggot
>>2700117What about the other pant ? Normally, you always have two.
>is completely overpriced
>>2713063He's right though. Why do you get so offended at the mere suggestion that pliers and screw drivers aren't run of the mill gear for the outdoors? What do you even use them for (aside from fishing, which is addressed here >>2712906)Speaking generally, why do people on /out/ get so angry and emotional over who uses what gear? Chill out. Sounds like you need some fresh air and sun lil nigga.
>>2713015for me it's the Manager
>>2713125based and practical pilled. SAK is the way to go for a multi-tool unless you specifically need pliers/wire cutters for a particular reason.
>>2712018>I have never gone outyeah?
>>2713131I have a pair of gerber pliers and they have a spring that opens them back up. It's so much better than my leatherman with normal floppy pliers. I have used the two in combination with the leatherman to hold the bolt and the gerber to tighten the nut a ton of times. You don't need a multitool, you need at least two.
You're telling me I just put one of these somewhere up high and then I get my very own owl? How is this legal? What's the catch?
>>2712848You can't fuck the owl, anon.
>tfw see several owls in the yard>put up a box>no owl visits my box to live and train with me
>>2712885I haven't looked into it at all and am not an attorney but I think owl box law could be the wild west. Who's to say you can't put a family of mice in your owl box? Having an owl in your yard is like having a smoking hot wife, not everyone can be soulmates sometimes you have to pay to play.
one time i looked inside one of these expecting it to be empty and a fuckin owl was in there staring at me so they definitely work lol
