I don't know why you are using green text? People you can trust going out camping with are close friends, and luckily for you, your brother is a trust worthy person to go out with

>>1009786
If you don't like going /out/ why are you asking how to find people to go /out/ with if you alreadly have someone that you can trust more than anyone?

>>1009786
>holy shit learn how to greentext

busting your balls for being a newfriend aside, theres no shortcut to getting to know someone with common interests to do things with. youre going to have to make some friends. maybe get to know some of the people your brother hangs out with?

Do you spend alot of time huffing gas?

>>1008597
Hey mate I heard theres a great beach in Lorne you could spend the day at.

Brisbane ranges are not too far away, and once you're more than a couple of kms from the carpark nice and quiet

san pedro has more columns 6 7 8 columns

lol pretty off topic thread

Just bought me some san pedro seeds, gonna plant next week. Hopefully I'll still be game for it in ~15 years.

Looks like Euphorbia. Scratch it with something that isn't your hand and see if the sap is white. If it is, don't touch it.

I don't know anything about that in particular but it sounds very fun. What type (size, shape, propulsion) of kayak do you want to use? Are you going to camp at night or drag your yak to a hotel? The only advice I have is bring fishing gear because I would go mad being on a river for many days and not being able to fish.

Yeah you'll be fine but always stay hydrated and fed and if theres big boats on the water like barges you'll want to get on shore because they'll ruin your day m8

>canoe'd the entire mississippi river

How long did it take?

>>1005509
Yeah I live in the suburbs and the only /out/ thing there is to do is a river that goes entirely across the state and eventually merges with the Ohio then the Mississippi. This summer I want to canoe at least to the ohio. Other than that there's urban hiking not very much woodlands

>>1005533
That's pretty ass man. Thankfully I live right on the edge of the everglades. Kayak around the swamp sometimes

>>1005509
Any decent trail is at least 3+ hours away. So that's 6 roundtrip and maybe $40 in gas to hike a trail for maybe 5-6 hours total. I hate the midwest

yes, it works. just be sure to hang it far enough from the trunk and branch that they can't jump onto it.

you can just hang your food sack if
>a) nothing else in your backpack smells delicious
>b) local animals haven't been conditioned to know bags have food in them
based off the popularity of the at i imagine animals there have learned to chew through all bags, so i'd hang the whole thing.

you just hang the food. and it's not meant to be long term.

>>1009371
Ah shit, so bringing peanut butter would pretty much make my whole bag a target then, even without conditioning.

Alright, thanks m80.
>>1009373
And thanks for that diagram. The how-to's I'd been seeing were all tying it to the same tree.

Just build a silencer for your shovel and ax

colloquially referred to as stealth or poacher camping. your pic looks like a longer term installation. otherwise it would be a tarp shelter with a roof either levitated by string or by a single pole in the middle. there are different tarp configurations that create bonafide tents with just some folding and a stick, depending on tarp size

otherwise literally just forage for the wood that would work, like any child would do. i dont mean so offensively, i mean there is no in depth information involved

If you're close enough to traveled areas that a fucking shovel is too noisy, someone is going to find it in less than a week

Also, if anyone has tips on how to get rid of snakes (water moccasins and rattlesnakes) long term, please share. I don't want a snake biting my kids or dogs.

>>1008142
no step on snek

>how to get rid of snakes
Start breeding and releasing mongooses onto your land.

They're the least of your worries.

It's the skin walkers and shape shifters you need to fear.

>>1007814
Just buy whatever paracord has 7 or more inner strands that are interwoven and not just present

>>1007814
The gay one.

>>1007814
>which paracord should I buy? (see photo
Whatever's cheapest
>what paracord do you use?
I don't. It's shitty meme cordage for rednecks.

MIT open courseware might have environmental engineering or environmental sciences. I'd start there.

i went to new zealand in undergrad. about 3 hours before i got to lake toupo i got a call from a friend to tell me that my (now ex) gf cheated on me about 48 hours after i left for a 6 month trip.

i was getting a locals only tour of lake taupo and all i could think about was how angry i wasand what i was going to do. thankfully

A) lake taupo from the wooded side is unbelievably gorgeous that i got over it quick
B) it was so emotional that now i have such a clear image of lake taupo engraved in my mind and while i am way over the girl i still get to keep the image.

1) don't expose your skin
2) keep wind to a minimum
3) breathe inside of the blanket to add warm air
4) be happy, being happy will warm you up, being afraid will cool you down
5) periodically flex your toes and other muscles
6) during the way wear as little clothes as comfortable, including going barefoot this will make your body work harder throughout the entire night to stay warm even when you bundle back up


>I'm a person that can camp without a fire down to about 0 degrees with just a wool blanket and wool socks, pants, boots, under layer shirt, heavy shirt, mediocre coat.

P.s you can probably get a lot colder than you think you can

>>1007033
During the day* not way

>3) breathe inside of the blanket to add warm air

There are a bunch of little snowmelt lakes in the Cascades, on a hot and dusty day, there's nothing better. Than stripping and diving into that blue crystal.

Your fear is actually reasonable, it happens all the time to homeless men. Sometimes people pour gasoline over the sleeping bag and set it on fire.

I wouldn't risk it.

I once was in a snowstorm and was afraid the storm could tear down my tent and I'd die of exposure.
And once I almost burnt my tent in a cooking accident.

There was a dutch couple camping in northern Sweden in the 80s who got murdered in their sleep by someone with two knives. They never found out who did it.
