There was just a thread on /an/, basically OP dumping a ton of pics from a competition or show.

Might have to get down on it one day. I'm getting bored of my unlucky bamboo. There is a bonsai shop kinda near me.

I just got into it myself.

I bought a 3 year old juniper from a tiny asian lady at a gas station then decided I wanted to start growing and training some on my own.

Here's the bottom of a japanese maple cutting that I chopped about two and a half weeks ago.

The top is not doing near as well, I don't think it's going to root at all. :/

You just start with a cutting from some random tree?

I was expecting to go spend $300 at this bonsai shop on shit I would get bored of in 2 months.

>>843976

>Best /out/ state

>>843884

High population in Pittsburgh and Philly nothing in between
We have elk and fuck antelope
Awesome fishing

Looks portable, i assume it would be used in a disaster scenario involving a larger group of people

It looks like a 'free recovery await rescue' sign from the UK, they have them on particularly dangerous stretches of motorways (freeways/interstates). If your car breaks down they send a free tow truck to pick you up instead of you having to leave your vehicle or walk along the side of the road.

Stumbled an old flipped upside down milk crate that had the bottom cut out and had a toilet seat zip tied to it. Thing was clutch for when I had the beer shits the next morning

Cool, you went inside of a building. Tell /out/ all about it.

trespassing is illegal, and posting illegal activities is against 4chan rules.

>sterilize
Do you sterilize your dishes at home?
Do you own an autoclave?

Even on a 2 week trip, the most I might do is rinse it out a bottle with filtered water from another bottle
I don't have a camel-back. I don't like them

>>843333
Exactly. Are you spraying your glasses at home down with bleach after every use? No, you're running them through a dishwasher or hand washing them with some soap. Then you stick them back in the cupboard.

>>843311
I put it in a lead lined chamber and expose it to gamma rays for a while.

>>843274
Damn, how will I activate my almonds now?

>>843274
1. The drought doesn't exist. It is made up climate change bullshit.
2. Water your garden with a watering can.

>>843274
Make better soil, yours is probably pretty dead. And add manure + water over top of the sprouts, it should becime a sort of cake layer. Or Add small twigs and dead leaves as a top layer, or more mulch. Dont water them to the point of soil erosion.

>>843082
An inflatable watercraft fits the bill.

There's pic related, they are made for fishin and you just paddle along with your feet.

I don't think theres any state you can do that in. Even Alaska has bag limits and seasons.

Most states are open season/no bag limit on coyotes and wild boar (except commifornia of course). That's probably the best you can do.

Look up hunting regulations>state and learn all you can if you're serious- theres a lot of rules.

>>843031
Texas.

You'll fit right in.

So what is the best state for wild boar hunting?
Are you allowed to spear them, while riding an ATV?

Like this picture, but more redneck/modern.

Yes, i dont know why, but being outdoors make me feel horny

>>843013
at this point I only masturbate once a week. getting old sucks.

but even when I was a 14 year old boyscout I could go a week without jerking it. just get exhausted during the day.

now if we are twlling stories avout the nastiest places we ever pounded one out I bet I got you fags beat.

I was at this little hilltop base in afghanistan. cia type shit, the helicopters. so we are sleeping in a tent with 20 ither dudes when we get to sleep in base. even the showers are crowded due to water supply.

si I take my laptop to the fucking port o john. stinks like shit. flies in my god damned eyeballs like an african orphan. and niggers knocking on the side everyone knew what I was doing.

hey but I got mine.

>slowed down to once a day
getting old does suck

>>843013
If I am sleeping on a ground cloth outside a tent, it is real easy to rub one out and roll over and dump my load into the dirt, even while the gf is sleeping next to me

This is why I like the tarp/groundcloth combo

I just figured it out, it's a great horned owlet calling for food.

cmon mate this isnt 1999.
go out with your phone, record it into a voice/ memo recording app. upload it to vocaroo or youtube and then come back.

Alternatively, watch the wildlife for 45 minutes and see what comes and goes and consult one of the many apps and books available for bird/ wildlife identification.

>cmon mate this isnt 1999.
>go out with your phone, record it into a voice/ memo recording app. upload it to vocaroo or youtube and then come back.

why would I do that? irrespective of date that's something a stupid person would do (brute force), a smart person would find it through googling the appropriate terms like I did.

The only reason I didn't find it instantly is that it's not classified as a "call" but just a "sound" which seems very slack of birb-ologists.

General tips:

The internet is your friend. I get most of my work through a website called coolworks. You can sort by state, country, job, season, etc. They'll tell who provides housing, who provides training, etc.

I know /out/ is pretty anti-social media, but facebook is actually a really good tool for keeping on touch with friends, employers, etc.

Certain skill sets are always going to be in demand, like guiding or kitchen experience, but even if you're a total NEET get your foot in the door somewhere. Washing dishes, scrubbing floors, answering phones, etc. Wanna be a guide but don't have any experience? Start out in the office or driving vans, and then learn what the guides do. There's going to be a day when someone just fucking quits and the boss is gonna need someone to step up, be that person. Show up on time, be willing to learn and you'll get noticed. References are the most important thing on your application.

It helps to grow a thick skin, too. You'll be dealing with petty bosses, lazy coworkers and snotty clients. It's important to try and not take it personally. Most of them aren't unhappy with you, they're unhappy about something else and you just happen to be in the area.

Work hard but have fun. Friendships come and go quickly so make the most of them. And a friend from last summer might be a job connection next summer. It really is a small world and everybody knows somebody you know.

Was hoping a thread like this would pop up.

I am in school for a BS in forestry and a minor in environmental science. My ideal job would be doing something not many people are willing to do. Would really like to do research and stuff like that (Going to remote places for long periods of time).

What might be some obscure jobs to take? How difficult/what kind of credentials do you need to get a job as a fire lookout?

>>842844
The go to for forestry people in the US as far as seasonal work goes is trail building and woodland firefighting in the summer.

I applied two years in a row during and after my bachelor's in bio and never got in. I guess it's getting popular.

Alternatives to that you can look into fishery work or if your resume has the chops theres seasonal work in Antarctica for research support.
