I just walked out into a rainstorm, raised my fist and dared god to come at me, and it IMMEDIATELY started hailing.
Praise you, creator. You funny asshole.

Sage goes in the options field. And it's not capitalized.
I walked in the forest today after not having slept at all the night before and not close to enough the night before that.
My lack of sleep caused very vivid hallucinations (no I was not intoxicated). A rotten tree (pic related) was to me a dishonest woman with a yellow umbrella, light brown hair and a brown dress. I was convinced she tilted her head towards me and smiled, of course the tree did not do this.
After this experience I decided to go home. While walking I came accross a very frightening 10m drop. I don't know why but I thought it was a good idea to jump, but I changed my mind.
I was speaking to some users on Discord as I thought I heard a twig break behind me. I thought I heard a scary animal noise from right behind me. This scared me. I ran through the forest and while I was running it seemed as if the cup of coffee I had brought was attempting to speak to me. I then stopped running and asked it what it was trying to say before I realized how silly speaking to a cup of coffee is. Memories from my past created physical shapes and sounds next to the uneven trail. Finally I was out of the forest. I ran to my home and now I feel safe.
This was by far the most frightening thing I have ever experienced.
As I specified in my previous post, I was not intoxicated in any way during the walk.
What is the point of this thread?
/out/ is not your fucking blog

I walked into a forest at night once, I just followed a regular trail that was lit by light, I pretty much just continued for a minutes until the the lights turned off and I stood alone in the darkness. It was a pretty uncomfortable experience trying to follow the trail back when I could hardly see anything at all.
Check out what happened to me this weekend when I removed my BBQ cover. I found a gigantic squirrel nest. There ended up being 3 dead squirrels inside (that part is not in the video, don't worry).
I didn't know this was possible. I am shocked.

Theres a fucking black bird that does this twice a day. But if I don't let him do it the fucking bird tries to steal this Robin's nest.
So for the last 2 weeks this bird has filled my grill completely twice a day every day.
He works god damn fast I tell ya what.
Do any of you outists live in one of those touristy villages, or seasonal out village, or general park village?
I've driven through Yellowstone village, MTand Moab, UT. I was extremely jelly of how out they were, atvs were more common than cars and the "downdown" was actually made for humans.
I would love to move to one less populated by normie hoards but can't imagine what I'd do to pay the bills. How do you do it? The tourist places seem like a dead giveaway during season, but post season does it just die?
Do you have to be a mad rich cattle baron to do well in those places?
>>1021971
Just be frugal and downsize your lifestyle a bit.
How much money do you really need?
I split my time between Taos NM and Durango CO. I do it by having a job and living within my means.
>I would love to move to one less populated by normie hoards
Don't you get it yet, you stupid fuck? You ARE the normie. People live in places like this to get away from people like YOU; the weird faggot who thinks escaping society will solve all their problems while assuming that bringing your special autism here is what everyone wants.
>>1021971
West Yellowstone was nice when I was there.
I'm a repentant cairn balancer. I now make chairs. Are you happy, /out/?

Looking to get a 3 season sleeping bag that is small, lightweight, but warm. I think I found the bag I need, the REI Magma 10, but it's going to be $400 with tax.
That's over 4x the price of my current bag. Is there anything else I should be looking at that's as good but cheaper?
>pic related
>>1018363
>3 season
>10 degree bag
do you not know what 3 seasons means, or do your seasons suck that badly?
assuming it's the former, buy a 30 degree bag and a good liner (which will serve double duty keeping you warmer and keeping your bag cleaner).
>>1018378
I've camped in 22F and was freezing my balls off. I do plan on camping above 10k feet.
I mean the bag is 2lbs and not huge. Is it overkill for summer sometimes? Probably, but I can open it up and it's still light, but when I need it, it'll be warm enough for winter camping if I get a liner.
It's just the price that is a hard pill to swallow. So many nice things I want I could buy for that.
>>1018381
as the owner of an rei bag i wouldn't pay $400 for one. i got a clearance igneo for $180 and haven't been particularly impressed with its warmth.
what kind of pad do you have?
>tfw can't go /out/ and feel safe because I live in a barbaric country that allows people to buy guns from walmart
>>1015808
GTFO of FreedomLand then, you leftist cunt.
>>1015808
Just have a gun too, or if you really feel uncomfortable with them then just move north.
I don't get the obssecion either but it's a granted right and people are free to exercise it.

I'm looking for good boots that will last me as long as possible for wet terrain. Would you recommend these?
Forgot to mention, these are YDS Thor combat boots
Those might be better for invading Poland
>>1012411
Well what would you recommend?
Hiya sc/out/s
I'm you get this thread every other week but I'm gonna post it anyway
One of my dreams has been to walk across the USA. I'm 22 and not with many goals or ambitions, how feasible is this?
What preparations should I take?
I live in California if it means anything.
start walkin
bring a tent so that when you're not walking you don't sleep on the ground
bring some money so you can buy some food
that's literally all you need to technically survive.. of course that leaves all other future ambitions at the door. If that doesn't sound very good to you then maybe you do have some ambitions about the future after all?
>>1018440
My best freind from hs biked it when he was 20. He pretended it was for some obscure charity but only took "kindness" like free meals or a yard to sleep in. But that was 20 yrs ago.
At this.point, in this political climate, i seriously doubt you will have as many yards to sleep in. Look for churches.
But fuck it. Follow your dreams.
>>1018556
Thank you, I was going to get a tent, a mess kit, all the essentials as time goes on. I may be a loser but I do have a job. I wasn't going to go right away, maybe sometime next year during the spring. Save up some money and then go.
>>1018559
I do have a bike, maybe I should bring that. Would save me some miles. Will definitely look for churches, dunno if I could have the courage to ask people to sleep in their yards, wouldn't wanna get bonked or anything.
Like I said though, I'm not gonna just jump right into this, I'm gonna prepare and all.
Take a first aid class so I can patch myself up if shit goes south and I'll take some sketches and notes from my survival book on which plants I can and cannot eat.
As far as travel plans go, I was planning on grabbing a map of the US and dotting off some places where some of my online friends live.
Anyone else dream of being as close to independent as possible? Growing your own food? Having a water source? Knowing which plants make goof medicine? Growing your own pipe tabbaky, ect. I really want to start a small community of like minded people somewhere, where we all chip in for a good deal on land but divide it for each other and build a strong network.

Did you watch the second Jordan Peterson- Joe Rogan interview. Holy shit that guy is amazing to listen to. I actually got goosebumps several times durine that podcast. Either way, I think I am going to finish sorting myself out on where I am at in life then do exactly what your talking about. Man needs to reawaken his dormant logos within nature.
I listen to JP while hiking. Love him. Very inspiring
>>1013977
Did he say this?
What's the best smelling firewood?
What's that one smell you can catch on the wind that makes you nostalgic?
Forest service starts handing out cutting permits and maps of target areas on June 1st. Any dead tree standing or fallen in free game.
I'm probably going to stock up on fir or other generic pine courtesy of the pine beetles
Birch for me don't know why.
Fruit woods.
>>1012380
Birch makes a wonderful smoke fuel. Tastes great on meats.
Can someone identify this giant mushroom for me? Is this safe to chow down on? Thanks.
His name is James. He likes walks on the beach and calls his mother about 4 times a week
There was a poster on /an/ earlier this week who put up 3 threads in one day.
Thread 1:
>Image of mushroom
>Asks if it's a magic mushroom
>No serious responses
Thread 2:
>Posted about an hour later
>Image of different mushroom
>Says he's cleaned them off and eaten some
>Wants to know when he'll start feeling the effects
>An anon informs him that both mushrooms he's posted are toxic
>Perhaps OP should contact poison control?
>OP freaks out, saying he can't go to the hospital because he's just smoked a ton of weed
>Anons chime in asking if OP is dead yet
Thread 3:
>6 hours later
>OP posts selfie from hospital bed with an IV in his arm
>Says hospital confirmed toxic mushrooms, but he didn't eat enough to die
>Relentless mockery and screencaps from all anons who reply
Don't be that anon. Thanks.
any Minneapolis area sc/out/s have any advice for a newbie Morel hunter on the Twin Cities east side (just over the WI border)

Talk about fishin
Long time catfisher in the James and close by rivers. Also go out in the bay 5-6 times a year. Today was my first day trout fishing up in the blue ridge mountains while camping. I caught a bunch but gut hooked every single one. Felt bad throwing the babies back and they did nothing but float and die.
>That is not dead which can eternal lie
>>1019705
You sound like a nigger. That's why you shouldn't soak bait unless you intend to harvest the fish.
Scum.
