Because people still buy it.

>can't order knives from outside the country
>in country, only one store sells Mora at about 4 times the price of it on Amazon
And it's not like I can buy something else because they are all 4 times more expensive too. I don't fucking get it.
I've a massed a fairly sizeable Opinel collection since it's the only thing not monstrously overpriced here.

Do some countries just have shitbag knife supplies/laws/whatever (no need to mention UK and their butter knife bans;P)? I can only vaguely relate by having to buy electronics in New Zealand and their computer store was like 5years behind the times.

Goddamned burkafags.

our culture romanticizes self destructive behavior
he is a prime example of this phenomenon

I think the movie they made about him was way too angsty. The guy was pretty dumb for some of the decisions he made. The moral of this story is: don't eat any plants unless you know exactly what it is.

>>882419
lol is that what the book and movie were trying to convey

>>895503
im 100% confident all the maps you want to make are already out there. word on the street is that the us geological survey has been on top of this topic for a little bit.

>>895503

That map should all be red.

>tfw you were born in the wrong century.

I studied audio engineering and then acoustics, which can be very /out/ but also can be very /in/, depends on the job. Now I'm becoming an audiologist which is decidely /in/. I still go /out/ though.

IMHO poetry, english, and literature are the most /out/ majors in the long run.

>>895041
im environmental studies. this summer im planning to join a conservation corps or something. after graduation, im thinking of joining the merchant marines. ive read that you can join as an ordinary seamen with no qualifications after a short training period (12 weeks of classes) that are free. seems to good to be true, but ive got a year to look into it more.

You need more underwear

>>894986
how much more underwear?

>>894980
I am not a gear queen and I don't know what most of the items are. You should add a column for "rain jacket" or "sleeping bag".

>>894929
No

I'm an Atheist. When i'm /out/, I am in awe of how something so accidental and fragile can be beautiful and perfect. We're lucky to exist at all, and i'm fortunate to get to explore this place for a short while. When you remember our lonely world is just one out of trillions of others, it's hard to believe this was created just for us.

>>894935

I understand and appreciate that perspective as a Christian. There's just so much beautiful stuff to see all over the world - its even more wild to think of when we begin to explore the universe. Could you even imagine?

>tfw no trashy milf gf

>>894145
I believe it should be possible to do so if ur down in the south. Although they may be hibernating deep.

>>894150
what about trapping them, when the water is around freezing point?

>>894145
so, /out/ only knows about cringy knives and never to use bug out bags?

Fresh air

You are an animal. Your brain will work better if you immerse it in a natural environment
Even if you find that hard to believe, going out is fun, and depending on what you do, you can develop a sense of autonomy and pride.

Comfy is relative. If maximum comfort is your baseline you cannot experience anything above that and anything less comfy than that will be perceived as discomfort. If being cold and wet is your baseline, you will perceive any slight relief as being comfier than you have ever experienced before.

Would not recommend winter camping unless you have a lot of experience with winter /out/ing.

LARPing as a retard is fun eh?

>Problem is I've never winter camped and haven't camped aside from car-camping in years. I'm fully prepared to drop a dime or two on the right gear considering I've been needing to invest in some decent camping equipment for awhile

>>893904
Lots of definitions of winter camping. Camping in December in Arkansas or Georgia is very different from camping in December in Wyoming or Montana. In much of the Southeast and mid-Midwest, winter camping can be really pleasant if you play the weather forecast correctly. Since you're talking about Oregon in mountainous terrain, this would fall into the latter (more risks) category.

Some of the main differences are as follows:
>snow on the trails
If deep enough, you may need snowshoes, but you may make better progress if the snow is shallow enough by using regular boots with gaiters. Hiking is much harder with deep snow on the ground, and you won't be able to travel as far as you might plan to.

In my experience, following snowy trails isn't as difficult as it may seem to someone who has never done it, but the possibility of getting lost does increase, especially with fresh snow on the ground.

>falling snow onto your tent
Regardless of whether you are camping on snow or if you can camp on grass, the possibility exists for the weather to change and snow to begin falling onto your tent. Four-season tents have stiffer poles and steeper walls to mitigate snow loading, but you usually still will need to get out periodically to knock snow off your tent.

>increased risk of hypothermia
It's critically important with winter camping to make sure that you have dry clothes because as soon as you get to camp, you are going to realize that your hiking clothes have gotten all sweaty and have no chance of drying before it gets dark. It's best to dress to be a little chilly while moving, so you don't get too sweaty, and then have a nice puffy jacket ready for whenever you stop hiking.

There are so many other things you'll need to learn, but my main take-away point is, no, it's not nearly the same level of difficulty, but don't feel like you can never figure it out with enough learning and practice.

>>893917
Oh, fuck off. Everyone has to start somewhere.

>>893832
Forgot to mention this is in England not in america so you can rule out bears or big cats and they said the bite marks on the dog arent normal for badgers or foxes or even wolves and they had irregular teeth spacing and wear apparently to deep in the body because that shows the sharpness and length of teeth

Probably a paki, mate.

>>893835
paki?

What would you like to know?

>>893525
What gear do you have already?

>>893537
Everything required to properly maintain the bike and an aftermarket subframe I'm going to swap out the stock one for.

I have a backpack and saddle bags, a helmet, and a gopro mount and that's about it.

>>893539

Saw this kickstarter the other day, wondering the same thing. Seems pretty cool but might just be marketing hype bullshit. I would like to be able to say I have a sweater made of llama wool though...

>>893433
huh, what? Just googled, why is an established business like cotopaxi doing on a kickstarter? Are they seriously unable to raise enough capital themselves? ...or attract real investors?

Anyway, it looks identical to the wool sweaters my mother wears, her being a natural born peruvian and having a predilection for such things.
