pack water, other than that we kind of need to know what you have. Also, night might get freezing cold, depending on where you are, so prepare for that

Pack sandpegs!!!!

Prepare to get Muslim'd. So practice crying into a camera and tilting your head back while on your knees.

lol.
yup
birding is for old ppl.
I mean, I enjoy it but it's not my favorite.
I prefer Entomology and Mycology

>>848208
I can ID decent amount of butterflies and am working on damsel/dragonflies but that's about it as far as the bugs go.

As far as fungi, that's a whole nother level and I have no idea.

Doubt it unless you can somehow convince them they're pokemons.

40 isn't old, it's barely middle aged.

Battlecat is way ahead of you.

>>847866
I'm in NM, so no Imperial Valley, but I do know of a nice stock tank that I've limited out every single time I've gone there for the past three years.

Don't forget the bug spray!

>>847866
East coast, so I'll be heading to a WMA before class.

>>847854
per person per man? wtf is this?
And if i follow your equation, with 3l per degree over 25°C per day i would need to drink 15l of water when it's 30°C which isn't even that hot, or 45l when it's 40°C which i think isn't even remotely possible to drink in a day, that's like half of a big dude's body weight...

You suck

>>847874
OP is an idiot.

When I was in Iraq I drank, on average, 2 or 3 1-liter bottles of water, some energy drinks, and sodas(at meals).

>>847876
Hiking, not stationary at a shithole base.

>>847632
Makes alot of sense actually, boots dont actually support the ankles at all, at least not to the extent that thier going to stop you from doing an injury

>>847642

wut, I definitely feel more ankle support wearing 8 inch boots.

>>847632
Over the course of 40+ years I've found that sneakers feel better and walk better than boots. The only times I've twisted my ankle was when I was wearing boots (couldn't walk on it for an entire month, fucking sucked). The only times I had to wear boots was when I needed steel toes and steel plates in the soles for safety reasons. Other than that, boots have not once helped me more than ordinary sneakers. Boots give me more blisters though, seemingly due to the fact they are not as pliable as sneakers.

>just normie things

>>847246
I assure you, we're not normies. Quite dorky, actually.

I don't know if she's got a thing for risky rubbing or has a crush on me or something, but I keep my boners for myself until I come home out of respect, and I expect the same of my fellow hikers.

>>847245
Sounds pretty hot to me senpai
You shoulda have told her something about it in the breakfast
>>847252
But yeah, pretty fucking weird neverless

>>846956
New Hampshire is hot?? Wut. Fuck off come to the south. Were hot and humid. And the air is stale, never blows unless near the coast or theres a storm out there...

>>846956
Anon, please don't be a fairweather /out/er. Don't waste your time and don't waste your life. Get your ass out there and love it! Join the goddamn club, it's beautiful up there in the fall.

A lot of people on here live in cities or in /out/ shitholes like Santa Fe and Dubai. You live in fucking New Hampshire? Get your shit together and get livin'. Fucksake.

>>846962
Nigger it's overd 90 not counting the humidity. I used to live by the ocean where it was temperate most of the time but living in fucking ozone valley here is hell. I swear to god when you get 20 min away in any direction it drops ten degrees.

I went at the Calvaire d'Oka last week. It's alright. Easy stuff. You can always hit Chemin d'Olmstead on Mont-Royal, right in the center of the city. Pretty close to the city you can find monteregian hills standing in the middle of the St-Lawrent plains. The mountains are a chain of ancient lava reservoir that never exploded and cooled down over a hundred million years. When the glaciers melted, all the sediments was washed away and the hard rock stayed there.

If you go north, you can find taller mountains on the Canadian Shield. You can also find mountains in the East towards Sherbrooke and Megantic.

Depends what you're looking for. Great small trails around Cap St Jacques in Senneville and Mt Bruno to the south for some elevation and more remote. Also tons of hiking trails in the Laurentiens

Hmm. I've been to Mont Royal Park a few times, but I've went there in depth.

>>847736

I went their once, on a school tripped. My teacher, who lived near by, had made his own map which he had named features after things from The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings.

It would be nice to go back there ...

So private property?
>build my own cabin
You ever built a cabin? Do you have the knowledge, tools and resources to do so?
>not in a tent
Where do you plan on staying while your cabin is being built?

I've been thinking of doing this in Canada a lot lately. I'm just not feeling modern technological society on the whole. I'm happiest when I'm outdoors a lot. Here, we have crown lands, state owned tracts that aren't private, but aren't administered park land.

Would prefer to do it with someone else because it's a lot of work for one person. The upfront labour would be heavy. . . but rewarding.

>>846767
>So private property?
Not necessarily, BLM is illegally holding a bit over 250 million acres of land because government doesn't give a shit about foundational documents or obeying the law.

>>846556
I did a bit of surveying in university. Why is it difficult? Seemed like a pretty simple job.

It's a pretty physically intense job in the summer. Had a heat stroke a few days ago, large commercial jobs are the worst

Used to sell gold plots up in the yukon. Got 5% sales commision. 54 bucks an hour and had food and housing paid for. Also got to fly a helicopter around all day.

I recently got a pair of these. Leupold Mackenzie BX-1 10 x 42. Nice entry level optics. I have no complaints and I got it at a good price. Use them for hunting and birdwatching.

Celestron outdoor DX, and the Olympus can't remember what series.
There was a wirecutter review on this.

Very clear, and value for money, IMO.

i use a pentax. very clear view.

Nunavut

Its a fucking barren wasteland

Nunavat would be my first (uneducated) guess too, but ya know, the eskimos live there and they do pretty well.

also the prairies are real shit

how many people? how many mosquitoes?

for 1 or 2 people with few to no mosquitoes i love the sawyer mini, but this summer i took a trip with 4 people and lots of mosquitoes, and even with 2 sawyer minis we weren't flowing water fast enough to not be pissed.

>>845578
Me and a friend. We're in the PNW and it's been hot recently so i imagine there will be many mosquitos

>>845581
Oh mosquito water tabs. None right now, will stop by the store tomorrow.
