Just saw pic related on amazon for pretty cheap. Does anyone have experience with inflatable kayaks? Would you recommend it to a complete beginner?

My dad bought a double fitter inflatable kayak and I used to use it before i moved out. ama

>>902436
Did you use the stock paddle? Does inflatable have any major drawbacks? Was it stable and did you feel safe using it?
Have you ever shown anyone your dick/vagina in public when doing outdoor activities? I have. It's fun to go for a run with no pants on. Everyone likes to stare at my dick.

I would think running with your dick out would damage your dick.
I regularly shower outdoors, and swim naked, but that is mostly showing my junk to woodland creatures. Also I a mountain goat was once staring at me while I had a quick tug hiking through the Gallatins.

What's so amusing about your penis?
Need some help finding a hiking pant. I own TNF paramount peak convertible pant. I like the weight of the material, convert ability, and layout of the pant. However, they are a little too baggy for me. I also own the Columbia silver Ridge pant, and they fit well but the material is just a little too thin.
Anyone know of a pant similar to the silver Ridge pant that's more durable? It needs to be in either natural colors or camouflage would be great. Gonna be using them as an early season mountain hunting pant. Not really looking for traditional hunting brands because it's just way overpriced for what you get.

Carhartt makes good durable pants.

They are cotton though. I forgot to mention I'm needing synthetic stuff.
>>
>>902036
What's your price range?
Why do you need synthetic?
Do you need them to be insulated?

I don't like fishing in the dark either. Hard to see your line and lures and shit.
And then sometimes I will be walking along the bank and some fuckhueg bird takes off from the tall grass like 2 feet away from me. Or the one time a big ass bird comes flying from across the lake in the pitch dark and lands 10' away from me.
Also gators.

I was bored and wanted to exercise a little to burn off Thanksgiving fatness so I grabbed my headlamp and went for a hike in the forest, when I got to the trail head it was almost dark. I walked for about 10 minutes and turned my headlamp on. There is so much creepy shit at night it's not even funny. Something huge was on the ground then flew up in the trees, we do have eagles where I live but what would it be doing on the ground at night. I shined my light where I thought it went and I didn't see anything. And you hear things like voices, I was on a trail that lead up to a mountain so I was at about 600 feet up, nobody else was at this trail.(no cars in parking lot) Then I got the weirdest feeling as if I was being watched. I look up ahead and some animal, wolf maybe, was staring at me with bright green eyes, I took a video and converted it but you can see something in the video walk away. You can kinda see my headlamp shine at the beginning then my light was on it. It was further away than the video makes it out to be. After I turned the video off I ran screaming like a girl till I got back to my truck.

Can anyone recommend trails to hike, mountain bike rentals, snowboarding etc? I have all day tomorrow and money isn't an option (preferably don't want to spend more than 200)

I'm at the border of Washington and Oregon, near the coast

Can't tell ya much about that area. Willamette valley here. Visit the Oregon vortex. Hw20 to east Oregon brings you to sisters and some great looking trails. Willamette nf is my favorite and my home away from home.
Is a cheap bag ok? What is really the difference between this ans a $100 bag?

>Is a cheap bag ok?
Depends on what you're doing with it.
>What is really the difference between this ans a $100 bag?
That looks like a decent enough sleeping bag though that's probably more to do with it being on sale. Don't know if Amazon takes black friday as seriously as other retailers but it looks like it from your pic.
Generally speaking, the differences are in weight, size when packed and what temperatures are comfortable. That one claims to be good down to 20 degrees armpit but I'd take that with a grain of salt.
>>
Why is there no recommended gear sticky?
>>
>>900314
Because differences in use, environments, preferences and so on. That sticky would end up being as long as the bump limit and nobody would agree on anything. You'd be better served by just reading the catalogue of a sports store.

Hello hikers, I'm an artist who's fascinated by post-apocalyptic survivalism and bushcraft. I'm working on a graphic novel that deals with these themes. I want to keep this short, but it's going to be set around 80 years after society has officially collapsed. No zombies, no nukes, just a blend of complex factors that made widescale society and large populations unsustainable.
Being set that far after the end, the only survivors are experienced with bushcraft and basically live in small communities or Innawoods. I'm going to focus the story on a person who has done so alone for years, and explore the dynamics of the new world as he is gradually thrust into larger events. I have yet to find a story of this kind in this format, and it would be fun to explore. I don't want to spoil too much. The graphic novel will follow a serial format and be free to read.
Right now I'm focusing on the script to get some structure. I really want the world to be immersive and realistic. It's going to be set in real life geographical locations and be filled with realistic methods. This is where you guys come in. If the story doesn't seem credible, I'd consider it a failure.
I've done a lot of hiking in younger days but my knowledge is limited to the basics. I'm trying to do as much research as I can, and if there's anything you can offer, I'd appreciate it.
So far I've understood that most roads and buildings would be overgrown 80 years after the apocalypse. Unmaintained vehicles would be unusable, as well as food and most other luxuries. What about clothing? I'm guessing 80 year old unused boots would be fine?
Also, the main character has been living in the same place for a few years, a deep forest in the west coast of France. What do you think his shelter should look like? A proper cabin, or is a simpler tent with extra weather protection enough?

To give you a sense of the feel I'm going for, here are the first couple pages of the script.
>>
>clothes and boots
anything leather, fabric, or rubber that has sat unmaintained for 80 years will be useless. either rotten or brittle.
>shelter
if he's lived there for several years he'd have a comfortable, established, secure shelter (i.e. cabin). the only reason to stay with a tent is if he's nomadic.

Amerifat? Not me.
I have been losing since July. Hiking mostly, caving (once), eating about 1/3 or less than what I used to. Last backpacking trip was 4days/3 nights and about 10 miles with ~4-5 mile day hikes. Took apitite suppressant pills, lighter than carrying food.
Don't even know how much weight I've lost, but my legs are made of wood now!

The average life span is 78.7 years (28,744.6 days or 41.3 million minutes) in the United States.
Don’t spend your life at a job you hate, earning money to buy things you barely have time to enjoy, filling up a house that you mostly just use to sleep in.
Kill your debt & kill your television (they are equally toxic).
Stop putting your dreams off until someday.
Rich or poor, all of us only have 24 hours in the a day. Make them count.
You are the author of your own story: Make it a story worth telling.
Downsize and simplify, because less truly is more, and less is liberating.
It is easy to complicate your life, but much harder to simplify.
Stop trying to get rich, and start creating a life rich in experiences.
Stop buying things & start doing things.
Your biggest obstacles are the ones you’ve created for yourself.
Stop making excuses and start taking action.
Start asking yourself: Why not me?
Don’t be afraid to fail, you’ll have already made it farther than those who never tried.
Life is an experiment.
In life, as in the mountains, the easiest path isn’t usually the best path.
Doing hard things matters.
Find the edge of your comfort zone and take a step beyond.
Travel far and climb high.
Never rush good food, good coffee, or good friends.
Turn your dreams into memories.
Go outside: Life is too short to watch it pass by from a desk…

Critique my plan.
I'll work 1 year and then 1 year off.
I can make quite a bit of money as a programmer, live the year saving up all my money, and then spend the next year doing /out/ stuff.
I mainly just want to climb mountains so this should be good. Better than working as a dishwasher or deckhand.

Hey /out/! I'm looking to pick up a monocular to give as a christmas gift. Nothing too high end, something that could be used for bird watching basically. Can anyone give me some recommendations? I have no idea what to look for.
Price range caps at around $50.
Any of these good?

Go to the binocular thread, its a slow board and an unpopular topic, optics is kind of a niche here so the bino thread and certainly the even more specific monocular thread will die before people can actually learn something about it... Anyways make sure you wanna get a monocular, there's lots of disadvantages. If you want in depth info go to cloudynights or any other specific forum which is optic related (birds, hunting,...) or ask your question in the other thread, i'll answer it

I just got a $100 gift card for signing up for the REI credit card and picked up this.
..... and as I sit here drunkenly looking for the link to post, they apparently do not sell it anymore. Weird as fuck, I just got it 2 days ago and its already discontinued.
Sorry OP. Came in here to make a recommendation and the one I wanted to recommend doesn't exist anymore.

A mylar blanket will not insulate your sleeping pad. You better get you a closed foam pad. Best R value for the buck.
