I feel bad when I kill spiders.

>>893462

If you don't feel remorseful then it probably means you're the 1% of the population that is a psychopath.

The feeling is normal. I hate when I have to kill a fish I cannot keep because a hook got stuck in its stomach.

Basically anywhere you can do those hobby tier /out/ activities. If you moved to a real /out/ state and that's all you did, you would be laughed at everywhere you go.

That said. Try a liberal state like Washington, Northern California, or Colorado.

I plan on hiking, kayaking, bush craft, raising a few animals, hunting, shooting, a few building projects, fishing and raising kids who can play in the woods. I have a profession that can do at home, what is wrong with finding a great place to do these hobbies?
What is the best state/province for this in the US and Canada?

I don't mind liberal areas but Cali is too far, I would never consider living there.

Probably not on the second slowest board on 4chan.

Could work though. I found two fishin buddies here and have yet to abduct and rape any of them. But one is too old and the other is a girl so not really my cup of tea.

Go to REI and ask for their warmest coat.

Yes, America.

I know in the states we can do this on most national forests and BLM land. We call it dispersed camping.

Not sure about Europe though. Maybe try looking up camping on crown land, or "freedom to roam". I think I might have read something about that.

You should really contact whoever manages the land in your area though and bounce these questions off of them.

>>909606
I also should add that a lot of places may restrict your fire, and wood usage. So make sure you can get a list of dos and don't in case you end up on the wrong side of the law.

You could also try stealth camping illegally.

Wildland firefighter. They love people with medical experience

GL anon

Taking a forest fire control class at my university. How hard is it to get hired as a wildland firefighter in CA?

>>909847
It is pretty competitive, start calling random crews now, it might take a year or two before you even get anything but definitely worth it

https://www.reddit.com/r/forestry/comments/44ya8i/how_to_get_a_job_as_a_wildland_firefighter/

That thread has some pretty good info. But yeah look into the BLM, NPS, local crews, etc. Go all over. You need to talk to people before you'll get a job though, if they never heard of you they probably won't hire you.

Oh man OP, I'm sorry to hear that. Glad you saw the doc at least so you know your insides are ok. Hope you're feeling better soon!

As for me, I was playing in the woods with my brother when I was like 8 and her swung a branch at my face and it popped my eye out of the socket. I screamed in pain and he screamd in horror and I pushed it back in. My eye was scabby for days but I never even saw a doctor, my parents couldn't decide if they believed us or not.

Also noteworthy - when I was 12 or so I was building a tower in the woods and nailed-in supports as I got higher and higher. One day I was near the top and one of the supports I was standing on popped loose and I fell the whole way down the center and, miraculously, didn't hit any of the supports on the way down. Even more miraculously I didn't fall on any of the many fresh stumps I'd left underneath as I cut saplings down to make my tower. I didn't break anything, but I threw up all over myself and dragged myself home through the woods. No broken pelvis, but I had blunt trauma and the doc said if I develop a fever or the pain gets worse I should go straight to the ER.

Pics related.

P.S. you take care of yourself man!

Thankfully I've never been too badly injured, but when I was around 16 I was once descending a section of trail in the hills around the place I grew up in. I was a few hours out, alone and it was starting to get dark. I had stayed out too long but figured I could get home in time. It had been raining a lot recently, and a stone I stepped on slipped out from under me and I fell and twisted my ankle extremely badly underneath my full body weight. Within half an hour it was badly bruised. The sun went down and a thunderstorm came in. I didn't have a raincoat or a torch because I was a dumb kid and just expected to go wandering in the hills for a day. It was a bloody miserable experience limping home in the dark and rain, took me nearly twice as long. Healed up fine within a couple of days, but now I'm extremely careful with my footing.

>>909378
that shit sux. fallen off my bike many of times too. I've broken my ribs twice, and didn't go to the Dr. the second time because there's not much they can do (basically "here's some ibuprofen, don't re-injure yourself, avoid strenuous activities the next few weeks"). It's possible they didn't get a good x-ray or just didn't see a break despite there being one. Just take it easy and heal up quick anon.

anyone think bass pro is gonna do any more steep sales before Christmas? Or is Free Shipping going to be the best I can get?

I'm hoping to order some baits and get them delivered before Christmas actually arrives

I'm more interested in what's going to happen sale wise when the gut cabelas. Hoping for some dank gun and fishing deals.

>>908932
Why would they gut cabelas? It would make more sense to me to just keep both stores open since some people prefer one to the other.

>>908556
>Does /out/ watch this?
No. Watching TV is for faggots

We had threads every season it was on. They don't use guns because the last seasons were shot in Canada plus it may be a liability insurance issue.

>>908541
first question Italians are dicks usually no matter what so expect that. second question idk

>>908542
are they worse than the french?

>>908547
I'm french, i don't like italians, they're obnoxious, flashy,vulgar and loud. We're way more respectful and nice than them. Tuscany is GOAT though, great food, great landscapes, great history, great art, great culture, great architecture, nice women.

I also have something like this in mind:

Ive seen great reviews on a similar construction which was about 50 euros.

That sleepingbag is gonna be way too cold for the pyrenees in april.

>>908458
What should the comfort temp be like then? Cause I thought it should be around 5-10.

Something tells me they don't hang out in remote mountain huts in Andorra.

I'd say it's perfectly safe, but leave a note explaining that you're returning for it. Sometimes people leave gear free for the taking at huts, and someone might be stupid enough to think your stuff is up for grabs.
You going to Andorra? Awesome, where exactly? All the huts I saw there were beautiful on the outside, shitholes on the inside.

>>908404

Buy a bow, and prcatice with it at least one year before hunting.
Also, a good tip is going to the gym, bench press and military press will help you being accurate

Practice a lot before taking it /out/ because you'll hit jack shit otherwise.

OP here,

This is the bow I am referring to:

http://www.basspro.com/PSE-Archery-Snake-Recurve-Bow/product/14102811283511/

Will this draw weight help me develop muscle strength to eventually pull 45 lbs comfortably?

If anyone has experience with this it would be greatly appreciated.

>>908053
>>>/k/

>>908061
For a basic beginner bow, it should be pretty good. Anywhere in the 20-30 lbs range is pretty good for a beginner bow, and it will build up that muscle, especially if you practice often. I'd also recommend getting some surgical tubing and tying a knot into it, use it to practice your form. Practice it when you're waiting for something.

Speaking of, have you got someone to teach you?
