Well /out/, I gave in.
You won.
How long until I regret this purchase?

>regretting something that costs less than a decent lunch.
Yea, not gonna happen. It's fine. You'll get use out of it and it'll last, it's just completely unsexy because it's a cheap workhorse.
>>829035
I will never understand why americans make such big think the act of buying a mora.
>>829035
just don't cut anything with it after midnight
Why are carabiners intrinsically so damn cool?

Weight-rated or go home.
>inb4 7kN and 8kN
You need to be 105lbs or less to use the 7kN white biner and 120lbs or less to use the others as a life safety device. OSHA standards say weight-rated equipment needs to have a tensile strength equal to 15:1.
That's a device that holds 15 pounds for every 1 pound that you weigh.
7kN = ~1600lbs. 1600lbs/15 = ~105lbs.
8kN = ~1800lbs. 1800lbs/15 = ~120lbs.
Here's a link to a biner that holds 31kN:
http://rocknrescue.com/acatalog/R-N-R---Poseidon-Non-Locking-Aluminum-Carabiner-RC008.html#SID=456
31kN = ~7000lbs. 7000lbs/15 = ~470lbs.
Now THAT'S safe.
>>831067
My keychain biner is 8kN. Is this good enuff?
>>831226
Did you even read his post; you need to go home.
You need to multiple the amount of keys by the density of the oxygen 3 days prior to going outdoors to confirm if the carabiner can hold that many keys.
I personally would not buy any carabiner less than $500, you are just asking for shit quality.
You probably buy tarps under $1000 too.

Where to meet /out/ girls? I don't care if she's a poser who just wants to pad out her Instagram with a few photos of beautiful landscapes, as long as she'll enjoy coming on camping trips and doing /out/door activities.
Join a local club for your favorite /out/door activity. Since you're posting this here I'm guessing you won't have much luck their due to ratios and you're not the pick of the litter.
Just get on Tinder and if there is interest invite her to walk your most traveled paved trail.

Most /out/ people aren't born, they are made
Find someone cool, and introduce them to it
Anyone hunt for gemstones or other nice rocks around their area? I have a rock tumbler and polish up the nice ones I find
Right now I've been looking for agate here on the Quebec coast
Most I've found are fairly dull but two are very bright and clear
Found this just now
Nice peice of agate
>>810572
Just a bunch of shitty Obsidian
This is another small peice, most I've seen are around this size but much more opaque
post /out/ hats/headgear!
what are you wearing on your head for /out/?
spring, summer, autumn, winter?
I just bought this boss ass motherfucker. It was expensive but it's built like a tank and comfy as hell. It also comes with a lifetime wear and tear warranty and if you lose it they'll sell you another at half price.
>>827977
so, people told me to fuck off, did you get here because of that too?
What does /out/ think of climate change and how should we fix it?
>>823695
>how should we fix it
no fixing you fucktard!
we are in an ice age for one so it's not even a good idea global warming by man is beneficial to the entire biosphere.
earth periodically gets so hot that it almost becomes a desert planet and gets so cold that ice covers everything almost to the equatorial belt.
so man is stabilizing this shit. it's actually almost like terraforming quiet awesome.
>>823706
it seems like everything is fucking melting so I don't see how we're stabilizing it.
"fix" it?
the earth has been changing long before the existence of humans, and will continue to do so long after we're all dead

I almost went to the inlet last night to toss some squid and jerkbaits but it got too late. I guess that's progress, right? Maybe this weekend I will actually go get my line all salty but I do want to try and get more peacocks innalakea.

There is a park ranger cadet program in CA, but i need an associates to get in. My question is, what A.S. or A.A. would look best on my application.
I hope this is the best board. Working in the wilderness seems relevant.
Also, general advice about becoming or life as a park ranger?
I would imagine something like an AS in natural sciences or ecology would look good. What do you think you'll be doing as a park ranger?
>Working for the NPS
Dont do it m8.
A criminal Justice degree will put your resume at the top of the pile m8.

You are marooned on a remote island (Suwarrow ,for example) with only 4 of these items.
Shovel, machete, camping pot and a ferro rod.
>>818675
Recently deceased human, duct tape, the alcohol and the shovel
Clothing, pot, ferro rod, speedgook.
None of it is really needed, if we're talking Suwarrow, there are buildings on the island, and there are caretakers there most the year with 6 months of supplies.

Grand ol' party wants to log your forests and mine out your mountains.
How does this make you feel?
Red pill me on smoking weed while camping
Its cool.
You're in a situation where if something goes wrong you'll need a calm head and all your wits about you. Sure some people can handle their shit while high, but it's just another risk you have to be willing to take.
sitting in the bushes by park trash bin isn't "camping" OP
Do you think being /out/ back before civilization when humans were nomads was like being in a monster movie? Like I imagine a guy hiding behind some boulders trying to be really quiet as he watches a wolf off in the distance. Then he sees it sniffing the ground and he has an epiphany like "Of course! Their noses! That's how the track us! I have to warn the others!"
>>830387
no, humans moved in groups and raped just about any creature, nothing was foolish enough to attack men they had a deep ingrained fear of being mcbreakfast.
>>830387
humans are the worst
