Also I should clarify, this isn't for fishing purposes, just recreational paddling.

Just rent a couple from your local kayak place.

>>828207
Well that's the thing, me and a group of friends go every weekend, and it's almost $40 bucks to rent them. At this point it's more sensible to buy my own.

Book(s): the Foxfire series. All of them.

Also, the big dark spots are not monstrous entrances, they are sandpaper we glued on to help the bees keep their grip on the waxed wooden boxes.

I get my honey from one of two places. If im making a 3 hour trip west of me. Theres a huge place that sells like gallon jugs of honey. The other is these homegrown farm stands that show up on the sides of the road in different places that sell produce and honey.

So no point in me keeping bees.

But good for you. Glad ur enjoying the fruits of their labor.lol

>>827765
I am a beekeeper too since 3 years back. I have 2 big hives and a small one that i created earlier this year. Got about 20liters of honey this year.

Do you have big varroa mite problems in the us? I am in scandinavia.

Youtube is full of cynical retards too. 4chan or not, someone is going to make fun of you. Deal with it

Literally keep your head up and forward. Keeping your head towards the ground restricts air flow. Look with your eyes. Not your head.

Picaridin based bug spray

Spray bottle full of 91% rubbing alcohol will keep em away

I would prefer all natural

you have to live in the woods to wear a top like that, or else you just look like a faggot

Swanndri Ranger shirt has all the hippy wool bs advantages but it's cut like a normal shirt so you don't look like a wanker. I'd look at one of them first.

>>826465
>Swanndri Ranger shirt
$120+ shirt

I tend to think of bushcraft/survivialist/nativist /out/ists as poorfags or at least frugal DIY types. But when someone like Ray Mears mentions a piece of gear they are suddenly willing to spend absurd amounts of money on it.

This shirt. Anything made of Ventile. Handmade scandi ground knives made of cheap simple carbon steel.

I've never really been to Nebraska, so I can't say I know what's available to you, but yeah no cool scenery kind of sucks, although I imagine in some parts the rolling grassy hills might be nice. I mean, for one thing, I suppose you could basically just practice some outdoor skills like camp cooking or firemaking, or you can meme-I mean baton wood or some shit, but yeah, IDK. I don't know where in Nebraska you live, but you might be able to try some of Nebraska and Wyoming's National Forests and grasslands http://www.fs.usda.gov/nebraska , but again, I haven't been to these ones, so I don't know how cool they are. But yeah, if trees and mountains are your thing (read "Washington"), Nebraska probably is not the first thing to come to mind.

>>826273
You could also possibly get into the motorsports meme: no scenery to fuck up means no guilt about using ATV's

>>826269
No, you didn't discover a passion for hiking. You discovered that you like pretty things, and you just happened to be in a state where most of the pretty things are scenic outdoors areas. I don't mean to discourage you from developing a passion for hiking, and I don't think there's anything wrong with just like pretty areas, but that isn't going to stop me from being frank with you.

Read some of the great nature writers and learn about why nature is great in and of itself.

But also, since I'm not a complete pretentious ass, I realize that pretty places are nice. Going to pretty, secluded places is expensive for most people. So you're gonna have to deal with that. Living in NE your best bets are probably to splurge and find a way to get to the Black Hills or Badlands NP in SD.

fire

>>825748
Fire might not be an option where I'm going, and I prefer something I can wear on my head for kayaking at night.

$6 Ozark trail headlamp from walmart. Batteries last forever, cheap as dirt, plenty bright enough for anything except spotlighting sasquatch, and they hold up surprisingly well. I've taken mine on 5 or 6 trips and my clumsy ass hasn't managed to fuck it up yet. Buy 2 or 3 if you're worried, still cheaper than other lights that'll break on their maiden voyage

Ninja tortoise

Don't think its a gopher tortoise

Colorado is shit man, all roads are traffic filled, most campsites will have people and the trails are crowded.

Also the locals will treat you like dogshit, particularly if you have California plates

>>824041
>Passing through Ouray, Telluride, Durango, Silverton, etc.

Just don't go further than that and it'll be fine. The closer to the front range the more tourist filled it get, thus shitting up there experience unless you WANT the touristy shit. GoG is filled with Asian and Palmer park was more enjoyable IMO. Hanging lake is packed but the Carbondale/Glenwood are is nice at least. Cave of the winds is broken because built the stupid entrance that ruined the winds last time I checked. Pikes peak tram is kinda neat but less satisfying that doing the incline then taking the rest up the trail up to the peak if you have the lungs for it.

Been a while since the last time I was there but if you don't act like a douche nobody will treat you like shit so ignore that. Colorado is the current IT state though so it's not a completely unfounded notion

went innawoods only to discover there are absolutely 0 mushrooms at the usual spots where I harvested around 5kg last year in just 3 days. Calmed myself down with a nice view and watched the traffic down in the valley.
Also gonna go try for some new boots besides my Alpine ones that are too stiff for everyday stuff and treks.

Humans, not even once

Loling at you right now OP. You didn't form some sort of spiritual connection with the seal. The seal didn't understand what was about to happen. It was suffering and miserable and you put him down. You did the right thing, don't Hollywood it up.

Yeah, I've done this OP. I often check whether roadkill is still alive just to be sure it's not suffering.
I once found a wood pigeon which had its wing broken, I don't know how. I dispatched it humanely and cooked it up and ate it. That's how I found out how tasty pigeon is.
