I was going to send my long weekend in the bush camping in my usual spot by the creek, but all the trees have been cut down. It has been turned into a graveyard. It's eerie.Many of these trees were my friends.
>>2468145The amount of actual permanently protected land is far smaller than you suspect it is. Funny you say this when US urban expansion is probably going at a higher rate than anywhere other than the third world right now. These areas won't preserve the natural land being crawled over by suburbs.
>>2466780I love that video
>>2466256This land doesn't belong to you, it is own by the govermant, or a farmer, the state you are living in...etc...They can do what ever they want, and you have to obey.
>>2466256>Many of these trees were my friends.This is a sad thought, it would be a shame if some machinery left there suddenly got destroyed.

What are some kino /out/ movies?
>>2468048One of my favourite films. As a morality play though the father is very much the one responsible for everything, starting with his arrogance to get the family bani-shed from the safety of Plimoth
>>2441179fuck forgot about that one . everybody brought their fucking A game to that movie .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMEz7mAeEaY&ab_channel=Pennyworth>>2440748Hell or High Water
>>2442884https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnzREheKpFo&t=99s&ab_channel=ItzRedgeThat mini series was comfy .
Not a movie but a documentary: Grizzly Man by Werner Herzog. It's a collection of footage left behind by Timothy Treadwell, this "activist" type who went to live around Grizzlies on summers in Alaska until he and his girlfriend got eaten. Eventually they found his camera, Herzog took a hold of the footage and made something phenomenal out of it. It's a really amazing movie.It's useless to look for clips because all you will find if you look for "grizzly man" is MY REACTION TO AUDIO OF MAN'S FINAL MOMENTS EATEN BY BEAR!!!!1!! People laughing because the dude was kooky and "deserved it". People are fucking subhuman apes nowadays but whatever. Just watch it.

>check thread>my out youtubers havent been mentionedgooddont need you faggots ruining them
Paul Kirtley is fantastic. I wouldn't call him a YouTuber, he's just a bushcraft instructor with great material that happens to be hosted on YouTube (which is how it should be). He has zero affiliations with anyone or anything, doesn't try to force the glamour lifestyle shit into bushcraft, none of that bullshit whatsoever. I ended up buying his book and it's great, I wish more people knew him.I'm watching this series about his solo canoe trip down the Berens river and it's pretty amazing.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmBlvQ8N23whttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1Oyda7KWmshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwyKofhlFKEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dsRdiLkq18
Would you take a permanent farm job? Agriculture related not cattle.I like being outside all day but the job is really hard on your body and the it's barely above minimum wage.
>>2467058Us is very variable but everywhere has safety standards to some degree
Menial jobs that are hard should be paid by the result.. Pick 1000 fruit for 1 dollar each? In a day? Good on you, here it is. Shear 500 sheep? Heres 2 bucks each I hope you can shear another 500 tomorrow. And just maybe you will have the means and the knowledge to start your own
>>2466492Cool. I still didn't ask.
>>2466160I'm a farmhand on a beef and pork farm in the Delta. I came from the north and I'm a 130 pound manlet. You're a big fat pussy.
>>2467669Neither did I ask you in >>2466472 retard. Keep on responding "I didn't ask" like a moron, thinking you're so cool. There's NOTHING you can do to stop me from replying.
how many private property violations have you committed while wild camping?
>>2465989>>2465991Ah I see. When I looked on Google maps most of the parts I saw in the western part was like farms interlaced with forest. I didn't look very long, but there's a lot less forest than I realized. I was mostly looking in the southwestern part, but yeah by like Buffalo or the Finger Lakes there ain't shit for forest.
>>2465989>On the west side it's extremely rich farmland that's all high-priced, at least for my entire county.God damn farming cartels buying all the land and raising prices...
Bump
The only places where you are legally allowed to go "camping" here are €30/day parking lots for vans, it's depressing. Obviously no fires, people play music, it's basically the same hive experience as always but with chemical toilets. I don't understand how normalfags are capable of enjoying this.
>>2466372Bill Gates... he can't keep getting away with it...
What shovels do you guys use when out camping? Do you guys carry fixed shovels or are folding shovels good enough for the job? For me personally, it's the Chinese WJQ-308 Military shovel. It has like 15 functions in one. Shovel, pick axe, chopping, saw, wire cutting, wire twister, can opener. What do you guys carry?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGdbbEZVHqw
>>2467686Been thinking of buying leather service boots and I've seen some of your pics. Which ones are you wearing and would you recommend them?
>>2467789is this some kind of bunker? reminds me of fighting positions i saw in normandy
>>2468211I'm wearing dress boots kek. They're Loakes (model Wolf or Bedale), made in bongland. Easily the most expensive part of my otherwise relatively cheap kit, but very comfy, very high quality and obviously supremelya e s t h e t i cDecent shot of them here: >>2467541If I were to buy leather boots again, I'd probably go with the Loake Hikers. They look easier to clean and maintain, have a bit of, but still minimal padding, and a much more grippy sole. If I wasn't so autistic about wearing natural leather colors, I'd go with some Scandi/Germanic/Swiss milsurp leather boots. There's a bunch of cheap, neat-looking and supposedly comfy and tough leather boots from those armies, but they're black. Much cheaper than handmade British dress boots too kek. There are plenty of perfectly decent more modern leather boots, but they tend to be chunkier and more padded, which I dislike.

>>2442158got trench foot from my feet being too wet for too long while hiking in the mountains. got sunpoisoning when swimming near the white sand beaches in the gulf. Met a giant jelly fish like 10 feet wide out in the pacific that i some how fished up while kayaking for bottom fish. Accidently walked through a field of stinging nettles, got covered by venomous mountain caterpillers and discovered a grave with my own name on it in the middle of the woods dated to the 1800s. Started freaking out and began to make contengincy plans for any possible time travel isekai mishap while /out/. But the absolute worst thing I ever encountered was a couple of normies having sex on a cliff. It was a one way path and passing by them was akward as fuck.

How much do I have to spend to get started fishing?>t. third worlder with no money
>a piece of line>a hook>some bait>or make some trap out of literal sticks>a flashlight and a speari guess you can't pull a boat out of your ass but you can definitely catch a feed..
You can probably get by with like 50 bucks total if you are willing to go second hand. There is a surprising amount of decent to good fishing gear on flea markets where people sell grandpas fishing stuff after his death and have no idea how much it's worth, nor do they care. If you are in a third world country, this may be a bit different, as I would assume the poorer the people on average, the more likely they are to do research before selling used equipment.What you need is: A rod, a reel (start with a spinning reel probably), some line (mono is probably fine as a beginner), hooks, bait, some leaders, swivels, swimmers and some weights. It depends on what and where you plan on fishing too. You can get by with some very cheap, borderline free / DIY spinners and bait, or expensive stuff. Depending on local laws, you will need a licence/permit, a fishhook remover (I like to use a hemostat), knife and a tool to "stun" the fish, as well as a suitable net. Some jurastictions require you to carry a tool to keep the fish's mouth open while removing the hook as well. Fishing isn't expensive, but it can quickly get expensive, if you want to. I'd say for new shit, a begginers kit may cost you somewhere between 75-200 bucks (includes everything). You can maybe stay lower if you really try, but that'll be hard without sacrificing performance too much.
You can, in actual fact, do as our ancestors did and tie line to a long (>10 ft.) stick (preferably tough and flexible, and tapering toward the the end), attach a line (can be woven/furled of animal or even human hair) to the end of the pole, tie a hook to the line, add bait, and actually catch fish.Sometimes I fish in brush so thick that I have no choice but to hold my line in one hand and toss the fly/bait with the other, because waving even the shortest pole will instantly get tangled or caught. This is called hand fishing or fishing by hand.The thing is, even though we've invented fancy gearboxes attached to spools and carbon-fiber rods, hand/pole fishing with just a line and a hook not only still work, but in some situations, work very well.The most accomplished fly fishermen of all time, the shokuryoshi (commercial tenkara fishermen in Japan), were very poor but caught hundreds of trout per day with a long stick, horsehair, a branch with a net woven onto it to net the fish, and a woven basket (or a sharp Y-shaped stick) to collect their catches.Being poor will not stop you from fishing. In fact, it's a traditionally poor activity.

Decided to climb a mountain covered in snow and ice while wearing summer running shoes with tread worn smooth and without any crampons, hiking poles, or an ice ax. In retrospect I don't know why I decided it was a good idea. But it went surprisingly smoothly right up until I slipped and caught my full weight on one hand, causing my wrist to make a disconcerting POP noise. So I had to carefully slide down the rest of the way with one hand. It hurt like heck and bruised my whole forearm but somehow I avoided any long term damage. Beginners luck I guess?>>2467574>I was biking in AlgeriaAny interesting stories from your trip? I've always been fascinated by the idea of biking in the Sahara

>>2465621At least he's listened. Every time I've had a dude get close to heatstroke, getting dizzy and slurring his words, being generally unreasonable, they always insist that they're fine and don't want to let you help them. I'm like faggot I'm not carrying you back down the mountain, so you best listen or I'll leave you here and call the cops to find you when I get home.of course, I probably would carry them down the mountain, but they don't need to know that.
I brought non-hiking friends on a long hike. I've never seen so many minor things go so incredibly wrong, but I should've known we were set for fail when one of the fags had packed a massive bluetoothspeaker, and not even a pocketknife.
>>2466842Personally, I love using matches. Somehting about striking a match feels just right, or getting a fire going with just one.Other than that i like to use vaseline coated cotton balls and the ferro rod that came with my knife
Any recommendations for buying ferrocerium rods in Europe? I get that they all are more or less the same.Also, I need some way to insulate it, since I live near the sea.
