I've got two 4'x4' raised beds with plans for one more--I'm wanting to make a little pathway between/around them with lava rocks and some walking stones.

There's nothing bad about that idea, right? My mom suggested I put sand down before the lava rocks to help kill the grass/weeds that are already there. I'm mostly using lava rocks because I had to move them anyway, from another area (flower beds) where I didn't want them.

>>974448
Put plastic down under the pathway gravel/rocks/blocks. You can use plastic dog/cat food bags, roof sheeting, etc. Just not blue tarp, not landscaping cloth, or clear plastic, those three deteriorate way too fast under paths. Sand will just be the perfect growing medium for grass and weed seeds to germinate and sprout.

32 days after putting the seed in water, there finally is some top growth on the avocado. Root has reached some length too, allowing me to wait a day or two between waterings so I took of the plastic bag
Of course I've still got plenty of time to go before potting it

is your trestles 0f or 0c?

i have a trestles 15(f), and that fucker's bulky as hell, but it's kept me warm deep into the 20s (also f) on a mediocre foam pad.

My snugpak tactical 2 makes me so happy, packs down small, keeps me warm, well made and British(TM)

>>973559
Check how cold it gets for your winter trips in average. You might want a tent instead of a tarp, since it will add a few degrees of warmth.

If you plan on slightly cooler winter nights like -36 C or such with this bag, judging from the numbers you'll need a tent with a heater, preferably more people and take turns managing the heat.

The story sounds like an excuse to explain how he came to drink cum for a living

>>971778
Agreed.
The weather is garbage. Just today it was a low of about 30 to a high of 80 with Jungle level humidity. At least in the desert the humidity is low so a temperature swing like that is tolerable. Once May gets here its best to stay inside.

If you want to drive to NC there are some cool places out there towards pisgah and the state park.

>>975045
NC is so infinitely superior to SC it's not even funny. Much better /out/ experiences to be had, fewer rednecks and niggers, slightly less unbearable summers.

>that time in 2015 you drove through the town where you grew up and couldn't see the mountain you distinctly remember being to the south of town

>>971773
Something like this happened to me, but it was one of MY old campsites, a place where I had once considered killing myself. I stumbled across it again years later and all the memories came back.

>that favorite disperesed campsite right by a good creek that you drunkenly led a hobo to in good faith, and the very next time you camped there he found you, so now you can never camp there again.

It even got 3g coverage and a clear sky view.

idfk dude rent one and find out

>It's a preference, try it out for yourself and make the call.

That said, I've got a Camp Trails that's essentially the same (right down to the same side pouches and lay out of the metal frame). I bought it after I had owned a few internals and frameless packs. I fucking love it and prefer it for any load over ~50lbs or anything bulky and awkward. Been thinking about getting a new-issue external, but can't bring myself to do it because there's essentially nothing different about the new ones.

>>971759
I had one as a kid and hated it because all the rich kids made fun of me. So buy your wife's son the newest bullshit.

But i loved my alice pack in the army. I could carry 90 pounds in that motherfucker. I seriously considered their internal frame packs a downgrade after carrying very heavy loads.

So, in summation: it's really all about what you are carrying and how vulnerable you are to being made fun of.

>>970669
Its not as bad as you think man. Read up on it, manage your food intake and make sure not to skip testing and you will be just fine.

i have a 16 year old /in/ cousin who's insulin dependent, and my brothers and i take him /out/ backpacking in the sierra every summer.

your key is going to be a) learning to recognize when your sugar is low, and b) being with someone who will recognize when your sugar's low and make you test no matter how big an asshole you're being about it when you miss it

sorry guy, getting old aint no joke.

Lots to consider

Worst case seems pretty obvious.

Big City
Desert
TEOTWAWKI

Survivable, but solely dependent on whatever equipment you have. Water and food would be totally scarce, save for whatever cacti are at your disposal. Basically Mad Max

Are these lil Coleman hatchets good for /out/ing? I picked one up at big5 today, but it felt a little heavy. I'm not sure if I'd really want a "lightweight" hatchet, though.

>>957290
prolly needs to be sharpened but after that it'll be fine m8

Talk to myself and/or animals. Really though, I head out to get away from people, so loneliness isn't really part of the equation. I suppose it could be different if one was on fire watch or something though.

>>957087
I'll listen to music or audiobooks. Every now and again, I'll download TedTalks or some political speakers speech.

If that's not your cup of tea, just find someone to go with.

>>957087
I go /out/ with friends.

>REEEEE You're doing it WRONG!

I go /out/ alone, too. Both are enjoyable for different reasons.

Jeg bor i Oslo, begynner å bli fint vær så er på tide med fjelltur

Trekking clubd

I couldn't get through Walden. Need to try again soon.

Vagabonding by Rolf Potts or the Alex honnold biography are both ok

>>977537
Walden is very dry at times but there are passages which really embody the sense of adventure and appreciation of nature in incredibly beautiful language. But yea it's not a page turner either. Leave it in your bathroom and read 2 pages at a time while you do your business.
