I saw this thing on TV where people are painting rocks and leaving them on hiking trails to bring happiness to the masses while they are trying to get outside. Today I came across a little painted rock sitting on a stump. STOP THIS IT'S STUPID!!

Fucking hipster faggots ruin everything. If I catch someone doing this ill curb stomp them on the nearest boulder.
This makes me very, very cross

How do I avoid being a complete faggot when I'm /out/ing?
>>1099459
avoid using electronics, don't be obnoxiously loud when you don't need to be, respect the environment and don't fucking litter.
it's just that easy
>>1099459
the beauty of /out/ is that you can be whatever you want. if you want to go into the woods with your boyfriend and suck his dick all night thats cool. just dont be loud or leave trash behind.
>>1099459
I know it's going to be hard since you're OP and all, but you gotta just stop yourself from sucking the dick of everything you encounter on the trail.
If I'm living innawoods won't the cops show up and shut me down for not having running water?
>>1096722
That's going to depend on local building ordinances and whether or not you own the land.
A general rule though, is that tiny homes (built on trailers) aren't considered permanent structures, so they aren't restricted by building codes. And unless you're in a city, there likely won't be any laws that say that you have to live in a house at all.
>>1096722
You don't need running water.
>>1096722
most places I know of in the western US require you to have utilities on the property in order to park an RV or mobile home. So yes, water. Also electric, gas, and sewer/septic.
a lot of places will allow you to camp on your land without utilities for a certain amount of time each year. Usually just a few weeks.
If you build your own place without getting a permit and inspections the cops won't arrest you, they just give you an eviction notice, bulldoze your shit, and haul you into court to pay for the cost of evicting and bulldozing your shit.
Can I please have some tips & the best tackle for catching bass?

>>1095643
pretty much everything works for bass, they're a trash fish anyways, fish for something else
what does you guys think about "survivalist" "survival" and stuff like this?
I think its pure marketing.
This looks like a survival instructor teaching some folks methods on how to start fires. Whats wrong with that?
If people want to learn how to do stuff in the outdoors, I'm all for it. If people want to buy a ton of gear from American cottage manufacturers, I'm all for that as well. If people want to walk 1 mile into some high elevation environment and chop down every sapling within a quarter mile and shit up the place to play bushcraft, then they can fuck right off.
>>1098938
Instructor probably wont survive a shit. And he is repeating what he saw in YouTube.
what kind of knife is this?
>>1098359
It's a Korean Ginseng knife. For digging out wild Ginseng roots.
Costs around $600.
It is made from specially alloyed "blue" Brass, because Koreans believe steel alters the taste of Ginseng.
>>1098362
>Believe
Its a known fact that a steel can alter a taste. Cut a apple with a 440c and with a 1095 blade, you can easily taste a difference when you nom nom it.

Is a space blanket a good substitute for an under quilt while hammock camping? Sleeping with a sleeping pad is pretty uncomfortable and i don't want to spend money on an under quilt.
No, only good as a vapor barrier or additional warmth.
>>1098081
its noisy as hell
have you ever used one?
>>1098081
get an evazote blanket, it works better than a pad and costs around $20.
Anyone have any experience with Everett, Washington? I'm moving there soon. What kind of /out/ activities are there?
Hiking, Camping.
Christopher McCandless is a fucking meme and /out/ idolizes him
This guy was the true /out/ God

Hey fellers, /k/unt here.
I'm going trekking into the Peruvian Andes in 3 weeks and putting together some kit.
Anyone recommend the PCU system of clothing for such a trek? It was developed for special forces in the dry, high and cold mountains of Afghanistan.
I plan on getting the hardshell, the baselayer and a fleece.
Also open to other gear, heard good things about the Russian Gorka mountaineering suit.
Gorka is a windproof cover only. It provides no better insulation than a civvie jaclet and trouser and is not waterproof.

Almost that time of year again that Sam's Club brings out their winter stuff.
Last year I got pic related jacket. It's a brand called Free Country, they sell stuff online I think but I've only ever seen them at Sam's. Their prices online are nothing great, but in store the prices are like 1/4 what they are online.
The jacket I picked up is a 3 in 1, has a nice mostly watertight outer shell (I waterpeoofed it at home too) and a liner jacket that has a fleece inside and nylon outside.
I'm not saying it's as good as a $300 jacket, but Sam's sells them for $19.99, and you basically get 2 solid jackets. They also have down puffers, vests, fleeced, all under $20. It's my go to stop for all kinds of winter shit since I don't want to spend $1k on a few pieces of clothing.
Sounds like a shill, I guess it is, I just like bargins.
Post your own bargins anons. What gear did you pay nothing for and its hit way above it's weight class?
This is a really stupid question, but please bear with me as I'm basically a shut-in but would like to start getting out more.
I live in NJ (a bit south of Trenton) and I'd like to start going for a walk every once in a while. Not really anything specifically for exercise, I'd just like to go hang out in the woods basically. I'm mostly a hippie already but I want to start getting out and actually doing something to make myself feel a little more alive and being in nature instead of in front of a computer seems like a good first step.
What kind of thing should I be searching for? I'd prefer to be alone, so the less populated the better, and I don't want technology/etc with me other than possibly for music.
I realize this is kinda vague and shitty but I'm not sure what activity would be a good place to start. Preferably something that involves just me and no equipment etc.
Thoughts?

Go to google maps. See these green splotches everywhere? Those are state parks and forests. Zoom in on them, in google maps, to learn their names. Google the names and look for hiking trail listings on their respective websites. Some may not have websites of course or many might be lumped into one website with info.
Like this one just to the South-west of Trenton,

Do you have birch? Go find some chaga and sell it to me.

I started reading this and it says they have cabins for rent. Would it be stupid to rent a cabin just for one night by myself one weekend, with no prior experience?
good day /out/ists
Anyone got experience with snugpak elite 4?
Im thinking about it quit a time, it seems to be good for cold weather and thats what i am looking for, what do you think?
Should i choose this snugpak model or theres something better.
Im living in Latvia, near scandinavia, so most of year is cold weather, im looking for -7 to -15 C , sleepingbags
why snugpak?
also: basic /out/ guide
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7XuthznpHM
its cheap and it works, north armies use it so its field tested
i've got the antarctica RE, which seems to be the same thing as an elite, but with more stuffing rammed in.
finishing of seams and stitching is good, zip doesn't jam. it's huge and heavy and you wouldn't want to walk far with it, but anybody who can read would figure that out.
i'm generally happy with it. my only complaint is they used a thin, soft, fluffy-feeling fabric on the outside of the bag, but a horrible slick heavyweight satin on the inside; it clings and feels slimy when your feet are wet. sad!
What is leather/suede like in the outdoors, what about when its wet?
Its comfy but it gets heavy
If youre one of those weird people that feel disturbed when operating above your typical body weight I dont suggest it
>>1097583
Those shorts are gay af and so do are bavarians.
>>1097583
leather can only really be used when youre not walking too far (like 100mi+) as its too heavy to justify the weight. It can shrink and crack if it gets too wet and wasnt properly treated before or dried after. A leather jacket for a weekend /out/ing is pretty nice though, just make sure its not one you care too deeply about.
suede is mostly a no go as it will be ruined if it gets wet, which it will whether by rain or sweat.
