Meh, scattered showers. Nothing's gonna stick here.

I like to beat off in my tent

>How do you handle rainy seasons?
stay /in/ with a comfy fire, plan for drier times, and shitpost.

>>967824
Kek I did that on a rafting trip once when we decided to lay over for a day because it was rainy and shitty

>>967780
Sure. Why not? My kid and dogs love backyard camping. We keep the fire small to be good neighbors. You can still learn and teach /out/ skills when you can't make it to the big woods.

>>967780
It'd be better if you just find a close car camping site. It's what I do If I want to test new gear in between serious trips.

If being outdoors is truly important to you, you'll find time. I try to do at least 2 backcountry camping trips a year, and it makes the rest of life so much more bearable, because I always have that to look forward to.

Why do you care what people on an anonymous image board think?

I went camping quite often with my father before he passed. I have pretty good survival skills, and I'm still taking the time to research and go out on mini camping trips on the weekends to hone my abilities.

Probably a sand hornet. They come in all sorts of marking styles.

>>967663
Thanks a lot

>>967661
I think a lot of people would call it a "yellowjacket," but that's probably a common name used for many different similar looking species. Identifying insects can come down to microscopic nuance, like the size and character of the bristles on their antennae.

Those tits are enormous. Source?

If you're on the AT just get a pizza delivered. There's always cell service and towns every couple miles

>>967612
Looks wheelchair accessible...good thing they have all the gear the REI rep said they'd need.

>eastern seaboard sucks nigger dicks.

You should have bought one with pedals

why would you have made a mistake? bikes are fun

>>967574
Consider wearing hi-vis vests like the sort highway department crews wear when they're working on the roads. People will just assume you're out working on something and that you aren't causing trouble.

>Profit from theme park

Just don't spare any expense.

Yeah but think about the tackle you could steal to make up for the pay difference.

Do you think he has a plate in that vest? if so... a big thick rifle plate or a dingy handgun plate? I forget the III levels and whatnot.

Women are generally pretty terrible at /out/

>>967494
Terrible at most everything

>>967475
Its easier to teach one to be /out/ then to find one

>$21
how'd you score that? link lists it for $28.48.

It's on clearance at the store. It wasn't even in the sporting goods department it had been moved to a clearance isle behind the Easter crap. Employee said that means they are probably going to stop carrying that item.

Huntsville, AL University Dr location, had 4 or 5 left when I got mine.

Never seen a green one before. I had the original grey/orange version until i went with the SOL. I guess if it's got a good thermal rating you got a good deal. The basically last forever.

You can join one of those crab fishing crews who spend weeks out at sea at a time harvesting crab. How old are you and where do you live?

>Make sure to bring lots of canned food. People don't realize this until they try it but the advantages are huge.
>Cotton is great for clothing as it's very lightweight and breathable, so make sure you wear as much cotton as possible.
>Get one of those Rambo knives with the survival kit in the handle so you'll barely need to pack your backpack.
>Make sure to bring a three or four pound club-mallet to pound in your tent pegs and baton wood with.
>As for shoes, I would recommend steel toe rubber boots with at least a 2" heel, this will keep your feet dry and your toes safe from all kinds of nasty stuff.
>Your backpack also shouldn't exceed 20 liters of volume.
>Drink lots of coffee for energy on the trail. Don't worry about using up your drinking water for this.
>First aid kits are unnecessary and make you look like a dweeb.
...Is what I would say if I were a sadistic monster...

You are camping for more than a day for the first time in what Im assuming is a foreign country to you. Get a bag that is waterproof or if it isnt buy a cover for it, cheap is ok. Get a sleeping bag for extremely cold temps, get a cover for that AND some liners. If its hot sleeping in only the liners will save you sweat and tears. Get a tent if you don't have one already. Get a small tarp and fold it under the tent. Get good tent pegs. Have a good rain cover for said tent. small rocket gas stove and fuel can(2-3) should cover you. trash bags are your friend. duck tape your temp friend. cordage always useful. small first aid kit with shit you know how to use is always useful. good leather boots and inserts. cotton for hot days. wool for cold/wet days. collapsible bottles for water. filter(s). water tabs. biskits and other low weight/high carb/fat foods. fishing pole if you good at fishing/license for area.

everything else to weight/need/comfort.

Also 2 knives, folding and fixed blade
fire is nice but not necessary most cases/allowed
water is ALWAYS NECESSARY
waste management is ALWAYS NECESSARY OVER A DAY
don't let kids near water until they know NOT TO WASH THEIR HANDS WITH ALMOST ALL THE CLEAN WATER.
