Why is it so hard to find the right saddle?
Does anyone have a custom made saddle?

My bones around the inner pubic areas (see pic) feel so sore after just a ride of around 20 miles.

I have already put on a gel cover over the original saddle, but it doesn't help.

Coluber constrictor priapus

I enjoy going on very long walks, and I can walk for many hours and cover immense distances without stopping. If I could be a professional walker for a living, I would, and wondering if I can make it possible.

I recently came across this article about people who walk extremem distances:

http://listverse.com/2015/06/02/10-regular-people-who-have-walked-amazing-distances/

And I would like to do something similar. If I were to walk out the door tomorrow and keep walking for 100 days, no one would know or care, and I would end up dead or in prison or mental institution soon. How would I get funding and a support team (doubt these people walked carrying tents, rifles and food/water everywhere).

Some have done it "to raise money for charity" so how would that even work? How would I get people to fund several months of walking journey and enough donations to the organization to warrant it? I have Aspergers, so one possibility is walking to raise money for autism awareness/research.

Get a job and save money. Live off that money while you adventure (the only other alternative is being born rich). That is what most, if not all of those people did. If you somehow get a large amount of publicity, then you might be able to supplement with donations.

You could do what Sarah Marquis did and use pic related for hauling your gear.

Riddle me this, /out/: How can you justify leaving the safety and protection of a city in order to invade nature? Who gave you the 'right' to trample over innocent wildlife, leaving garbage and the stench of humanity across our precious wilderness?
You can look at pictures and read magazines about nature, so why waste time and money in order to destroy what mother earth creates? You choose instead to pollute the once-pristine waterfalls and forests with your filth, and eventually poison some wild animal with your rotten carcass. Only the very wealthy and the very poor spend time in the wilderness, making any outdoor activity indicative of our fascist class divide. If you demand to return to the earth, buy a window box and grow some carrots. But leave mother nature out of it, she did nothing wrong.

My doc will write me a script real easy for antibiotics. Just be honest and ask. It's not like you're trying to get 240 oxycontin or some shit, a reasonable doc shouldn't have any issue if you tell them you're going innawoods for a month and want something just in case.

I'm moving to Potsdam, NY in a couple weeks in St. Lawrence County, NY. Coming from Connecticut with so few /out/ opportunities, I would like to appreciate upstate while I am there.
I have effectively no /out/ experience, and I would like to work up to 3-4 day backpacking trips. Can I get some suggestions for what I will need and some ideas for /out/ings in the area? Anyone from here live in/are familiar with the area? Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks m8s.

Also, is solo backpacking considered suicidal, or otherwise ill-advised?

Solar backpacking is awesome, but I'll advised for a first timer. Not sure if you have friends in the area, but you'd learn a lot from a few hikes with someone who has experience.

To start pick somewhere for a day hike. Just take a bad with some watee, maybe a few snacks, and the right clothing for the day. Pick a hiking spot that's not easy to get lost, like a state Park.

From there it's a lot of learning to start doing overnights. There are lots of threads here to read through, and there's info online all over the place.

Hey /out/
I enjoy freediving, and I'm currently trying to get better at it. I am looking for a depth gauge so that I can find my maximum depth for each dive. I am considering buying this one
https://www.amazon.com/Genesis-by-Sherwood-Depth-Gauge/dp/B000KZVA1S/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1471107667&sr=8-5&keywords=diving+depth+gauge

I don't need anything special like a dive watch, or dive computer, I just want an inexpensive depth gauge. Does anyone have experience with this one, or have a recommendation of another?

I don't remember what brand, but I do remember seeing a watch for exactly this. I thought about buying it but I am a pussy ehen I free dive mainly because I do it alone. so I don't need a bunch of proof I only went 30 feet down.

do some google searches. if my cheap ass considered it, it can't be expensive.

I think Suunto makes watches for free divers.

They probably have exactly what you're looking for

Looks like a puffball. Slice it up, look for gills. No gills = puffball. Look for discoloration. It needs to be pure white or you'll get sick eating it.

Good puffball identification and such.

The general rule of consuming unidentified flora is pretty standard procedure for this. First contact the UFO to your lips and wait 3 hours, no reaction means touch it to your tongue and wait 3 hours, no reaction to that then means grind it up into a paste and mix it with alkalised water, then with a syringe shoot that shit directly behind your eyeball.

http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2016/08/10/michigan-fish-teeth/88516990/

A few Michigan anglers this summer reeled in fish that smiled back with human-like teeth.

The fish are called pacus, and they are not supposed to be on the end of anglers’ lines, according to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. State officials say the fish are becoming an annual part of summer thanks to residents disposing of them in local rivers, streams and lakes.

In July, Michigan anglers caught three pacus — two in Lake St. Clair and another near Port Huron.
that's pretty creepy....

"The pacu is not normally dangerous to people but it has quite a serious bite, there have been incidents in other countries, such as Papua New Guinea where some men have had their testicles bitten off," Mr Carl said.

Kek those things are getting loose now? They look like pirhanas but get as big as a turkey platter. I'd be down to catch some of those. I wonder if they actually survive the winter. Most southern states you can't own pirhanas because they are afraid of them becoming an invaisive species but you can still buy them in places with cold winters. I wonder if I can get a few pacu down here and release em.

There's only one thing to do now...

Do things with them outside? That's all there is to it
>>
>>834307
It is literally as simple as taking them outside. Take them camping and hiking, teach them the different plants and trees in your area, show them how to build a fire, take them hunting, fishing, etc. As long as they have good memories associated with the outdoors from an early age, they will always like it. I don't think you should necessarily swear off letting them use technology, since in the modern world, forcing them to be luddites puts them at a disadvantage, but don't be afraid to set some restrictions. Maybe no games on their phones, and limit their computer time, etc. You don't need to be a tyrant, but try to make it so they have to learn how to entertain themselves.
