I want to work in agriculture but University is not really an option for me. I've volunteered at various farms in different countries, one in particular was my ideal job. I worked with the animals every morning, maintained the grounds, planted new tree's and plants, pulled weeds and sometimes worked in the Musteri making apple cider, along with various jobs around the farm. My question is, for those without a degree how did you get into agriculture? Are there intern programs for adults
I've done WWOOF and I guess that could lead to a job but that's a shot in the dark

Literally use your experiences to build a resume, work as a farm manager.
I have friends who do that but generally speaking college education is very important to not be a worker unless your experiences show leadership and managerial capabilities.

They eat a lot of pesky bugs like ticks and mosquitos, they spread seeds to help propagate trees and smaller plants, and of course they're beautiful to look at and listen to.

Help me get out of this godforsaken hive of human villainy and despair.
What are some good, rugged trails within a few hours driving distance?
Just a basic bitch day hike.
Is Algonquin park feasible for a day considering the drive time to and fro?

Going /out/ to visit archaeological ruins, does anybody here do it? Pic related is ~1000 year old Anasazi ruins. They're on top of a mesa that is very defensible, because the Indians attacked each other all the time back then. It's not much of a hike at about 1/4 of a mile that even my 70 yr old cousin made, but people without ranged weapons would have had a helluva time storming it if the residents were aware that it was being stormed. At least until the water ran out.
The ruins are partially excavated. I'll post a couple of pics from inside of one of the excavated kivas.

I pledged a fra'ernity in college and one weekend me and my pledge bros had to stay on 6ft tarp in the corner. We were in there with a keg of beer and a bunch of cans of Dinty Moore. All of it had to be gone by sunday night. We were allowed to leave the tarp to pee/pooh and to puke.
Anyway, I can't even look at Dinty Moore ever again. I think you're a real sicko OP.
Also, Spam (cans last longer than packets), corned beef hash, and canned veggies of all sorts - beans and potatoes lend themselves to many meals whereas greenbeans and peas you have to eat "out of the can", which isn't very good. OH stewed tomatoes as well, you need your lipocene when /out/ anon.

Best part is that is that the shell is just lots of triangles made out of wood that you can pre cut inside.
>>
>>840880
>under 500
why? It's more than capable of towing it, if you want to hit trails/etc then you need to focus instead on getting suspension/tyre combo perfected on the trailer instead, focusing on lightness will impact too much on comfort
Solo hiking 9 days back woods scary sh$t always happen when alone in woods.

Anyone into urban hiking trails? I got a big 35 mile hike though at the end of the month. well prepared and planned. just wondering if any others are out there in well populated areas with little hiding gems tucked in the hustle and bustle of the city. Please feel free to share stories of stumbling upon hidden trails in the city or even some well known ones as well. Happy trails fellow sc/out/s and /out/doorsmen!

Ok guys, I cant take life in Kansas for one more minute.
Too hot , not enough /out/.
Outside magazine just listed its 16 best places to live and I am going to pick one of them this week and be there by end of summer.
Any extra info on these towns would be of great use to me.

Anyone that has billings as a top place to live can fuck themselves. That factory town is a SHITHOLE. Go live in WA or OR, doesnt matter where. Dont go to ID. MI is also acceptable but it still doesnt have shit on WA and OR.
Raised in Leavenworth btw.

Do any of you guys use tarps as shelter instead of tents or hammocks? I'm trying to get a setup together and am looking to shave off some dollars from the cost. Buying a large tarp instead of a tent seems like a good way to do that.

It can work, but you're limited to just a single wall and no real door.
Easier just to kill someone and take theirs. Don't do that though
>>
Thought about it, but too many skeeters and critters where I go /out/.
I'd have bring a big net to go in my tarp, and at that point I may as well just bring a small tent.

This. Wolf spiders turn the outside of my tent into a skii resort. Other stuff make loud crawling sounds under the tent floor.
One tiny hole in the tent and billions of ants and spiders get in.

I hear you can get paid to kill coyotes, hogs, gators and shit
As in just turn in the heads for money

Louisiana/Texas for hogs I think
I think foxes and gators you can no longer get money for, unless you sell them specifically for the hide there is no bounty on them.
>>
>>840225
So, its called a bounty? Any specifics on prices per head? I hear tennessee is a good place too?
>>
>>840223
Check with the state Fish & Game office, they'll provide with a list of nuisance species and how to redeem any bounties on them.
