>signing up for a life or death situation

C-Could I just go through basic and call it quits?

>>988697
Could try reserves, you get to learn stuff and go on with normal life without dedicating a part of your life to service.

I know the Australian cadets go to 20 and reserves is mostly being /out/, first aid and how to defend the mainland.

This entire stretch of the AT is can be access from 42nd Street. There is a bus to the PA/NJ from Port Authority and a train to the Appalachian Trial station (NY/CT) border from Grand Central.

In between there will be any number of NJ Transit buses and trains to North Jersey but you'd probably have to use a ride hailing app or taxi to get out of the suburb in question. There's nothing monolithic to be had, but Bear Mountain is a nice gateway to the Catskills. There are some urban "day hikes" around that are charming is a gritty sort of way:

Bay Ridge down to under the Verrazano then around to Dyker Heights and Bensonhurst - if you get tired you can grab a bus down to Brighton Beach for some Russian food in the late afternoon.

In Manhattan, the Hudson river park above 125th goes under the GWB and then either across to the Palisades or up to the Cloisters.

I've done Chinatown-Downtown Brooklyn and WTC-Downtown Brooklyn several times each.

Riis beach and Neponsit out on the Rockaway peninsula are pretty cool too. It's hard to believe you can be that remote and still in NYC proper. You can get out there on foot if from as far West as Coney Island via a footpath around to Floyd Bennet Field and then over a bridge. Eventually you'll get to the end of the A train.

The sharp right-hand bend near the NJ/NY border is Port Jervis which is accessible at the end of a the West-of-Hudson train line at Penn Station.

You can also get near Lake Placid, VT and NH on Amtrak if you are taking a long weekend or something. ...at least until Dear Leader zeros out their operating subsidy as promised. Dartmouth College is in Hanover, NH so there are probably buses to that transit station too.

I have a 17 year old pair of tevas.

>>994391
Ditto, they hold for fucking ever.

>>993006
Strap it tighter you dumb fuck.

>>993013
have you ever used an alice pack you faggot?

>>993015
I own three of them. You're either not strapping it tight enough, your bag is too low on your back or you need a much, much lighter sleeping bag.

Bump for interest, what kind of movies are you looking for? Documentaries, survival movies.

Bring your smartphone to find them, plenty on the major trails

>>991696
i'm not above a popping a squat but what when im going out i normally pick stuff thats going to make me run a little slower than normal.


while doing a part of the AT i did poop in one of the oldest outhouses in america.

As always, OUT is useless when it comes to something more than a circlejerk.

Was down at the beach today scavenging, found a nice length of rope which I brought home.

It was raining and blowing a gale so I could not stay long.

>>989815
>scavenging

Gettin there

And fuck these faggots getting all the cell phone IPs b&. I appeal them all the time and they remove them but just got another for Rule 1 that I can't even appeal for 24 days.

Just enact the area-wide ban again you cunts. I already had to buy the pass.

sonic bug repellent is scam tier, they don't work for shit

long, loose fitting clothing combined with either DEET or picaradin based bug spray but it's not perfect, you will still get bit just not as much

>>985143
Birch tar my man. Been used for a long time to protect from the mosquitoe swarms in Siberia. I also hear lavender oil works too so maybe you should give that a go.

>>985201
I was afraid you'd say that. Thanks for the reality check. I guess just bathing in DEET is my best bet.

>>985239
The better three-quarters has some lavender oil she uses for tea and shit. Can't hurt to try.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Using my father's old US AF bag, fits my sleeping bag, a pod I can climb into with the sleeping bag, poncho and then some.

For trail camping I always go with a cold weather bag and self inflating pad like thermorest.

But for car camping:
If below 50*F - Bags with down pads
If above 50*F - Fucking anything you want, quilts and bed pads, bags and egg crate, serta memory foam bed topper, just whatever

>>984014
Quilt for hammocking and summer camping. Bag for cold weather tent camping.

Yes, sleeping pads are used for separating your millenial ass and the soil for a reasons

>>992708
Nothing wrong with it if you do it under the correct conditions.

Fire -> like 10 5-10lb rocks in fire -> place heated rocks in hole -> throw an amount of natural bedding over top that you would deem comfortable -> place tarp over top -> place another tarp over top -> secure corners with rocks or rope -> slide yourself in

You have now made yourself into a hot pocket. Will have a comfy 80 degree night and get enough sleep to recover enough to continue onward the next day.

You dig the channel
You cover it with logs/branches
You put the tarp over the logs/branches

There you go
