I'm seeing four.

three. there are three deer and i see them.

Frying things is a luxury/recreational endeavor, If you're going so hardcore that the few grams of weight difference between an aluminium and titanium pan is important then you're not going to be bringing a frying pan in the first place.

You can probably get the scorch marks off the plate with a piece of scotchbright but you won't be able avoid it happening again, titanium just doesn't conduct heat well enough.

>titanium just doesn't conduct heat well
This. I've never understood why people think it's a good material for cookware. Aluminum works just fine for me.

Go stainless, titanium doesn't fair well in fire and will probably warp when it's smashed down in your bag. Don't go aluminum either.

Buy this book and read it twice. He goes ALL OVER training methods, exercises, heart rate monitoring intended for the physical demands of mountaineering. Some of the stuff from normal strength training applies, but mountaineering is much more about endurance than knocking out a higher 1RM in the gym.

The most recent /out/ thing I've done was walking about 5h around my village so there you go

I was just about to make on of these. Not enough /Brit/s on here.

I've never done any winter walking before, but was hoping to hit the Lake District in February and do some big walks (Helvellyn especially) with my girlfriend. What should we do to prepare, and what should we bring?

Trying to become more /out/, really want to get back into multiday kayak trips

Also go outdoors does a emergency service discount..... Ya I guess

There are a good few, but most of /out/ is american.
Waterproofs and layers will be your friend. Make sure you apply waterproofing to everything and have a tarp near the top of your rucksack so you can quickly make a shelter if it rains heavily or you need to stop to make food.
Be ready to be wet, cold and miserable, but if you're lucky it will be kinda sunny and windy.

A picture i took of my buddy on a weekend backpacking trip outside the city

I owned a husky/chow mix when I was growing up. She was dying of cancer at 7 years of age, hanging out in the back yard. A neighbor walked by our house with her dog. My dog wasn't having any of that shit. Proceeded to grab the bottom of our chain link fence in her mouth, bend it up, crawl underneath it, sprint to the street and fuck that other dog up.

6 months later I wrapped her in her favorite blanket and buried her under a tree in the back yard.

Man. I miss that dog.

>>872950
I shoot most of the dogs I see outside.

>>872950
That's one beautiful dog.

>>886447

Usually both, I tend to stick more with glasses.

>>886447

No.

>having a bad eyesight

you will never make it

I was thinking of heading up to the woodlands. There's some woodsprites and willowisps who like to have a good time. If you've never drank ether straight from the nethers, you haven't lived; it's a concentrated spirit made from life force, gets you nice and drunk. At midnight everyone gets buck nude and the Caller blows his horn to summon spirit moose and we ride into the dawn.

Bretty good time.

I'm leaving candy out in a basket with a note saying to take a fair amt of candy. I'm not in the mood for visitors this year. Little kid costumes are cute but I'd rather lie down on the sofa and watch stupid scary movies with my dog.

they don't celebrate halloween here, I should be alright.

Go live with a polar bear for a year to figure out what it's basic needs are then buy some of them for it

The only way to solve global warming is for all environmentalists to kill themselves. Kill yourself right now faggot and save the planet

>out on the boat with not a noise from civilization hearing the faint splashing of your boat rocking in the current while you smoke cigarettes and think about all the deep fried catfish you'll be having later

>feeling the chill of the morning fog your nose and cheeks as you walk from your campsite as the sun rises, bundled up in your jacket and blanket

Do PADI, and the nitrox cert is worth it.

>>884874
Make sure the center you go to gives you good gear. A well fitting wet suit makes diving much more pleasurable. What part of the world are you in? I have been diving in the Netherlands, Belgium and the UK (with seals!), where it is usually cold as fuck. And everyone from SSI will say PADI is shit and vice versa. They will both take a lot of money and give you little, but still worth it. Remember that experience is much more important than certificates.

And single most valuable thing I learned was balance, how to make sure you are horizontally in the water without effort. It saves you a shitton of air.

>>884882
Please for the love of god dont do what this guy says. The last thing the diving community needs is more PADI divers. Im not saying that all PADI divers are bad or anything its just that a basic open water PADI cert takes no time and produces very unaware and ill equiped divers. PADI isnt bad if you follow through with the program and take more courses but for a basic cert SDI/TDI certs are the way to go. They are a more technically inspired certification and the courses are much longer and more in depth for a basic open water cert compared to PADI. Dont be a Pay and dive instantly cuck.
