I'd say wooden trees

Getting /fit/ would be a good start. Walk your city park... for a few hours. Stairs are better. Can you do 50 pushups?

No need to join a gym if doing above.

Once you can walk flat and level with some stairs mixed in, hit a trail.

Bring water, jacket, flashlight, cell phn and remember where you parked!

You might hate it, but you'll be better off than sitting on the couch watching Dancing with the Stars.

I'd like to think I'm decently /fit/. I was hitting the gym doing starting strength and cardio 5x a week before working out of state the past month. I know I won't hate it, though. I went hunting with my uncle last year and even though I didn't see much being alone in the woods was incredibly enjoyable. Do you know of any good books or resources for oblivious noobs? Or is venturing out and getting a taste of things going to be better?

I never find reading about hiking as enjoyable as hiking, unless it's in a historical context. (Ex. JW Powell)

The exception being trail guides, which for my areas are valuable in finding new hikes in different surroundings.

Loop hikes can be tricky the first time, as you return via unknown passage. Otherwise, just turn around and retrace steps to traihead.

A different angle on the tree I'm talking about.

>>916977
>that fuzzy shrub is a tree?
Fire pit, sure. Do you want fall leaves in your garden? Tree house, not of any meaningful stature.

I was thinking more of the tree to the right.
We do have leaf blowers. Do you not SEE the sand pit behind it? That's on my property line. BIG TIME.

You can't change your life and your parents don't love you either.

Start drinking heavily, hard liquors, beat your wife when you binge, and realize that this day is your high water mark.

Everything from here on is the slow decent and living failure of your future, your dreams and your life.

On the bright side you're European, so you can get a mistress.

Dude set some realistic goals. Caribbean fisherman / alpine guide is NOT realistic.

You might as well say you want to be a tree surgeon / astronaut.

Achievable goals will make you happy.

Do you live near the coast? If not, then how the fuck are you gonna be a fisherman?

Do you live near the mountains? If not, then how the fuck are you gonna be a mountain guide?

Global fish stocks are on the verge of collapse, I'd pick another more realistic second career. Then it's just a matter of research and training, lots of people do it.

How are you going to maintain a farm on your own if millions of hungry/angry city dwellers start pouring into the countryside following this supposed collapse? Civilization and order is what allows people to remain in one place long term. You'd need to be mobile and adaptable in your hypothetical scenario. Or even better charismatic and capable enough to get a following of other people to do what you want.

>if millions of hungry/angry city dwellers start pouring into the countryside following this supposed collapse?

that wouldn't happen.

>>916825
Why, because you say so?

The countryside is literally the very first place everyone thinks to go. Everyone is going to "bug out" to the mountains and valleys. Fucking count on it. Nobody is going to sit in their 36th floor apartment and order pizza delivery during a societal collapse.

Best way to get to the top of El Yunque is to get there early. Start by Parking at the start of Mt. Britton Trail. Go to Mt. Britton Tower since its only about a half mile round way detour with great views. Then hike all the way through Mt Britton Spur, connect with El Yunque Trail and head for the summit. You can stop at los Picachos Trail and its tower, its about 1/4 mile detour with similar views as the previous tower.

When going back go through the service road. Only vehicles I've seen on it are power company trucks which rarely drive through. About 3 mile trip to the summit, maybe 1.5 miles on the way back on the service road which is incredibly easy. Then drive back down and go see all the waterfalls on the way.

>>915854
>my friends vetoed the route I had planned

why? 6 miles is nothing

>>915905
Exactly. They just don't like the idea of going up steep shit.

Shame this thread hasn't gotten more replies. I hope your pumpkin manages to come back from the brink.

Save a few seeds and plant them in the summer. Throw the rest in some butter and roast them for yums.
