/o/ doesn't go outside.
Motorsports aren't the only sports that race.

Nobody else has ever raced before?

Shoulda figured... this is still 4chan...

You lurk on outdoor forums before you start stupid threads

It's nice to go for a walk in the bush, get away from phone reception, traffic noise and the thoughts of work and day to day life get out of your head.

Just relaxation time for a bit.

Which town are you moving to and where are you coming from?

I'm in Lee, MA, and I spend a lot of time hiking and camping in the area. The AT section running from NW CT to Lee is a particularly nice section, though fairly high-traffic. If you're trying to get /out/, section hiking the AT will be the easiest way to get started. A lot of state forests and preserved lands in the area also have good hiking trails.

Women love living in cities. They want to be around tons of people and consume lots of things.

should I adjust my lifestyle to be able to support these tendencies or just tell them to fuck off

You are going to look back on this as the luckiest break of your life.
In a decade or so , when all your male friends are divorced with no money , working 70hrs a week to support ex wives and kids, they will gaze upon you with envy. "How did you know?" they will ask.

>>983351
Most of it, really.

The West Coast Trail is one of the nicest hikes in the world, if you get good weather

>>983351
where abouts? smithers has a bunch of nice hiking in the hazeltons and babine provincial park.

>>983388
The West Coast Trail is a meme trail. It's overcrowded with tourists and people who know shit all about camping.

Instead consider:

The North Coast Trail
The Juan de Fuca Trail
The Sunshine Coast Trail

Also all the Crown Land imaginable on which you may do what you please.

Bump, I think the board was screwed up when I originally posted this.

>>984356
probably. fucking april fools.

just let someone responsible know where you're going and when to expect you back. if you're on the peninsula there's nothing scarier than black bears and bees.

I almost always go /out/ by myself.
Like >>984380 said just make sure someone knows what you're doing and when you expect to be back. Don't know about the west coast in particular but black bears usually aren't a problem if you have a proper canister for your food and have something on your backpack to make noise while walking.

I also pee on the trees around my camp site to mark my territory... no idea if it helps or not but I sleep better that way.

Become a religious leader and then eventual mass suicide.

My only beef with that kind of lifestyle is that people are usually huge leftards muh peace and love. Other than that why not.

People have been farming wheat since forever without machinery. It really isn't that hard. I have a flour mill for instance though I mostly use it for corn and non-wheat things.

In that image, it is a square 1-acre plot of farm. That's 208.7 by 208.7 feet (43,560 square feet). The wheat field is about half the length (104.35 feet) by 1/5th of the other length (41.74 feet).

That's a wheat field 104.35 x 41.74 feet = 4355.569 square feet. That's 1/10th of an acre.

That's 468 to 492 pounds of wheat or 1872 to 1968 cups of flour. 4 cups per loaf of bread = 468 to 492 loaves of bread. 1.28 to 1.34 loaves of bread for every day in a year.

So yeah, that's a fuck ton of bread. I guess it depends on how many people you have in a family and how much bread you eat. Or, how much flour you need to use for whatever.

Wild flowers are good to plant it brings bees to your land. Rasberries are good to plant as well, You get a good yield and can preserve them.

>People have been farming wheat since forever without machinery. It really isn't that hard.

Good info. Keep in mind, though, that in this situation, if you're living there, you also have to tend to the rest of your menagerie, and depending on your family size, you may not have enough help to get that 500 pounds of wheat harvested in any decent amount of time. In countries where small scale grain farming is still common, for example Japan with rice, they will typically recruit a dozen or so friends or neighbors to help with the harvest. It's very labor intensive.

Then there's the processing. You may have a flour mill that fits in your kitchen, but we're talking about 500 pounds of grain. Yes, "people have been doing it since forever," but milling wheat is such a specialized, labor-intensive activity that it used to be its own occupation. On this homestead, we're assuming that the head of the household, and maybe his sons when they get old enough, are basically doing everything.

Farmland is outside.
So are cities.
Try urbex or working with animals and plants.

Hey argie faggot how many times are you going to create the same thread?

Either move or stop complaining.

I actually have one I got from TAD Its a nice jacket. I'd buy it for 150 euros

>>989070

i got the ranger hoodie lt and it is the best jacket for southwestern arid states where it doesn't go balls deep in the cold, plenty of ventilation and the fit of the jacket is true-to-size, so if you're chubby then i'd get a size up

if you're relatively lean, then i'd stick with your regular jacket size because it seems the LTs while also lighter, were made specifically to fit in just about any outershell jacket you have

i can fit my ranger LT underneath some of my tightest rain jackets, something to be cogniscent of if you're self conscience about being a fatass and don't want to look like a chubby hipster unless you don't care about that

>>989070
That doesn't seem much cheaper than the new price so why don't you just buy it new?
