In which hemisphere?
Country?
Latitude?
Topography?
Season?


That was a fucking stupid question m8.

>>952076
Got an assignment in class you didn't finish, son?

Do your own homework, on time next time.

>>952076
how about look it up yourself, fag

Err /cg/

>>951078
because you need to get familiar with technique and pain tolerance. outdoor problems are usually rated a little lower than in a gym

Depends on what is holding you back, and what sorts of problems you are attempting.

Like you, I'm a newer climber. I sent maybe a hundred v0's before my first V1 ascent, and several hundred before I could top most (but not all) V1 problems.

Last night I sent my 2nd V2 ever - a decently overhung dihedral with slopers all the way up. I've been putting in at least three hours per week every week, mostly focused on volume of movement.

If you're not really getting up anything, you need to sit down and identify why. I'm betting it's not a strength issue - almost anybody has the strength to pull jugs up a v0. From there the first place to look is at your footwork. To quote Better Bouldering, "Repeat after me: I will put as much weight on my feet as possible at all times, especially on overhangs. Amen."

You may also want to examine your physical and mental flexibility. How willing are you to try out new movements just to see how they work?

Stay out of the fucking road.

If you have a strange feeling that every single motorist hates your guts, it's because we fucking do.

>>949396
That's why I plan on using the bike lanes asshole. I hate those bikers taking up space too. I want to try to stay away from other people as much as I can, luckily there's a lot of empty roads near me

>>949396
No one cares, motorists are idiots. Try not to kill people with your deathcage.

Long comment incoming (b/c bored)

Just go out with as little equipment as possible but don't go far from your vehicle OR pack stuff with you but only use as little as possible. If you can't hack it, cheat or go back to your car.

Every time use less and less, try different techniques.

Also just so you're not surprised beforehand, survival isn't a 'fun' activity (especially when you aren't practiced) by itself. Its challenging and hugely satisfying to test yourself and succeed but its not going to be enjoyable when you're doing it. It will be uncomfortable, tiring, and overall difficult even if you know what you're doing.

Lets say you decide you're only going to use a knife and ferro rod:
>a good natural shelter takes hours and hours to build depending on a lot of things like type, experience, resources
>firewood will be small diameter so you'll have to get up to add more wood every half hour or hour at the most
>small, Indian fire. bare minimum
>If its -20C, you'll have to get up several times in the night and start moving about doing jumping jacks and shit to warm up before going back to sleep
>If you're going to stay multiple nights, get as much work done as possible the first day b/c you'll be too fatigued to do much of anything useful after spending one night. Even more exhausted if winter.
>because the fire will be so small, you'll have to huddle around it closer than usual so you'll have more embers landing you. You'll get holes in your clothes unless you wear stuff that won't burn through like wool.
>If its -30C even, you don't necessarily need a shelter so long as your fire is big enough. I spend the many hours I would otherwise spend making a shelter instead gathering wood so I can have a large shelter. Its more efficient and it doesn't actually matter if snow lands on you all night. You build your firewood pile as high and narrow as a shelter if possible. Done.

I have more but this is getting really long.

Also noice plumb axe

>>943025
oh yeah btw I enjoy it but most other people don't from my knowledge. They like the idea but then when it comes down to actually doing it, the discomfort isn't worth it to them.

>>943028
I've built shelters before and I've been on one or two outings but I'm gonna try and work my way to the knife and fero rod only outings but for now I'm probably gonna go on some more simple spring and summer trips so I'll be ready by next fall or winter. Thanks man

Why do people even bother? If it doesn't have Leatherman stamped on the side, you don't need it.

>>934805
What's a matter op, don't wanna eat with the same tool you tighten greasy bolts with?

Sure but stop coming anyway go to Egypt or Algeria, I'm sure they will love you there too.

Man we need more information. Have you camped before, where are you camping, what specifically do you need help with and so on. Pic is basic checklist but without knowing where you're going or what you're doing its hard to be specific.

>>949595
>Have you camped before
Many times, just not alone.

>where are you camping
In a moderate climate

>what specifically do you need help
I don't think I really need any help with the act of camping per se, more how to cope with the time when the night comes and there's nothing to do. Also is it normal to get spooked?

>>949598
>normal to get spooked
Yes, for fags.

Certainly that answer is obvious to the most casual of observers?

Yeah it seems peacefull but i want to know what it is like

>>949097
Doe het gewoon man. Dat ga ik ook doen, maar dan naar Finland. Veel meer natuur en minder mensen.

>>950423
I feel like you would be much less likely to lose a finger if you just brought a hacksaw blade and made whatever contraption from that.

The Canadian army actually had one during ww1 and they were despised by the troops. Better than nothing but they still suck

>>950423
I've used something similar, it worked okay but an ax would be far more useful.

>solitude
>on the camino del santiago
kek. good luck anon.

but here are the numbers of people who walked each camino in 2013
>Camino Frances: 151,761
>Camino Portugues 29,550
>Camino del Norte 13,393
>Via de la Plata 9,016
>Camino Primitivo 6,854
>Camino Ingles 4,404
>Muxia-Finisterre 454
>Other Caminos 444
>https://www.caminodesantiago.me/2013-statistics-for-the-camino-de-santiago/

I would be really interested in doing this but I keep seeing scary news from Europe with the refugee crisis and other stuff. Is it really safe?

>>949168
>kek. good luck anon
tbf you're kinda right but depending on the time of the year you may find few people.

>>Camino Portugues 29,550
>>Muxia-Finisterre 454
I have done both of these, now I'm going to step up my game. Have you ever done it, anon?
The Camino del Norte seems nice because the coast and some cool cities that would be nice to visit but the Francés seems more challenging. The ideal would be something like PCT or Appalachian but at this point it's still not possible for me.

Go on your own.

Im already becoming very asocial, and im afraid that'll be my final step to full on beta.

>>948178
>my final step to full on beta.
That's not how it work, more, going and doing things by yourself without caring about what others thing is as alpha as they come.

But if that's a legit concern for you you may try >>>/r9k/ or any other faggotry board.

This.

Digging through the ashes of the campfire on a cold morning and fining just enough embers to get her roaring again without much trouble.

Swatting that one damn mosquito that kept you up all night biting and buzzing...

That oddly pleasing sting of sweat in the tiny little scratches that sometimes happen innawoods...
