I think it's great for getting young kids interested in the /out/doors

Great activity not just for kids but for likeminded adults, who wish to gain outdoor skills. Even thoug it has drifted away from the way Baden Powell and Seton envisioned it, it still teaches cameraderie and overcoming adversity.

I put 12 years in as a youth and have been in as in adult since. It's a great way to get kids interested and to build build a network of outdoorsy friends. I go camping with a group of about 10 other eagle scouts on a regular basis.

all the people I have seen play this game just ride around town in their car. In what way possible could that be considered /out/?

No.
it's braveneworldish

Pokemons only spawn in cities and towns, not in places where no-one comes so no.

a good snowboardingbackpack is great the straps hold your bag. they normally have two cooler pockets and tons of ways to organize and quick access spots. plus water resistant

>>829672

this design looks really simple, if it isn't working the fix should come to you just by looking at it.

could also be bad luck.

Take some string and tie the bait in a way that it stays in the center of the cage? Like, suspended from two sides.

>>829672
The holes in the metal one are probably too large. I've had that problem with some that I made. You can use a bit of hardware cloth or metal screen to make the holes smaller and try it.

Suspending the bait using string also helps as >>829717 suggests. Just make a little bait bag from a plastic garlic bag.

Environmental management student here.

IMO the concept of community (with each other and with your environment) is key to people NOT fucking shit up.

Whether it's carbon scrubbing, picking up litter, using reusable shopping bags, buying a modern efficient car, or whatever, the actions require effort on the part of the person - and this is only done if the person thinks it's ''worth it''.

By feeling a link to the place you live (or to each other, or to the world, or whatever) you are more likely to place worth on those actions.

Basically we already have the resources, technology and manpower to 'fix' all our environmental problems. But the priority is on growth economy, generating profit and such like.

The only thing holding us back from changing anything is ourselves, our mentality towards it, the worth we place on it.

Of course its' not quite that simple because any advancements/changes we make must be viable within our society framework (namely, financially viable)

The psychology behind whether someone will recycle or whatever is the most important part.

Inertube is usually a bit bigger that's normal. When they inflate they pull the tire outward and seats the tire's bead into the wheel's bead-well

ok booboo here's what you do.

>inflate the new tube outside of the bike to get some form
it seems like you got the right size, I checked the link and you should have the right one.
Don't be afraid to let some air out to fit it in, but installing a tube with air is 500% easier than installing a dead one

>AVOID PINCH FLATS

>do you have the right valve
Presta or Schrader? It doesn't say anywhere on the site, just take the old tube with you and make sure you get the same valve.

>is your valve long enough?
this really only applies to Presta, the skinnier, all metal except the cap style valve.

>go on youtube and watch a few tutorials on how to install a tire
I could try to 'splain it all but the video probly does it better.

best of luck homie.

I did inflate it a bit when I got it around the wheel, and there was still some hanging off of it, I also have a bike pump compatible with both valves, the old valves are schrader and the one on the new inner tube was presta. Its too dark now so it'll probably have to wait til morning for me to get a decent picture of what the inner tube looks like around the tire, comparing it to the old one though, its definitely larger if I lie them side by side.

Why not get
>a charger or battery pack that does USB stuff
>a radio with AM/FM/WX
>a torch

then when you lose/break one device, you're not out all those devices.

I don't understand this "Put everything in one box" fad.
I have radios that do radio things really well.
I have a flashlight that does flashlight things really well.

Just seems like the sort of product you're looking for would be designed and marketed towards children wanting a toy and wannabe-tryhards.

>mfw my survival tool is b& in your country

>>827047
I get what your saying. But basically i just want a crank powered radio that can charge phones. The other stuff is more just a redundancy and handy as a back up.

The other stuff i already have.

The idea is you chuck it in the back of your 4wd and forget about it and you can use it as a back up for a back up.

In case something happens like a break down or some shit.

Also its convenient.

Are you in Mexico or something? Go to Utah or Colorado, being stuck in TX is one thing, actively travelling there to do outdoor activities is just a waste of time.

>>827023
I am in TX. Friend is visiting from out of state.

I visit CO a few times a year, so that's covered.

I'd say there is more to do in Big Bend. Guadalupe Mountain is nice and getting to the top gives you quite a view, but I think Big Bend is prettier. Both are going to be ass meltingly hot this time of year, just as a warning.

>pretty interesting from an /out/ perspective
Nope.gif
You want interesting? Go camping/hiking/etc for a week or more. Take a camera, shoot things (with the camera) that catch your attention. Post pics here when you get back. THAT'S pretty interesting from an /out/ perspective.

>>826951
bare ass is literally the cornerstone of human sex, and has been for perhaps a million or two years. gay or straight. that's why it's neat as a secondary observation. i guess tumblr asexuals wouldn't understand.

OH also, this is the /out/ board were outdoors topics are discussed and enjoyed, such as this particular show, and such.

thanks for playing

What are you using the tent for where this is a problem? Can't you just stay outside of the tent until it is darker or set up in the shade?

I just can"t imagine a scenario where you'd need to be hanging out in a tent under noon sun.

How are you planning to set up the tarp? Just throwing it over the tent or using it to cast a shadow on the tent? For the former you want a high albedo (white/metallic) and the latter you want high opacity (color won't matter).

>>826608
White, silver metallic will fade and be less effective over time. No need for any fancy stuff, if it's dry a bedsheet is your best bet.

>My tackle box is still overflowing with Dick's

Skid pls

i couldn't find any electrical tape nearby to back my reel so i used 3M VHB foam tape to back the 150 yards of 20 lb power pro braid.

so i'm noticing the action of my trick worms is completely different. i've got 15 lb mono and 15 lb fluoro to use for a leader to try and get back to the action i'm used to.

which line should i use for the leader, and how long should it be? what knot should i use? should you use different knots when tying mono to braid vs fluoro to braid?

i'll be googling this of course but i trust you guys will know.

I've been trying to catch some big cats lately and I'm just not sure how since I only bank fish. I caught this guy with a 5/0 circle hook on a Santee Cooper rig with cut bluegill but I was wondering if there were other/better rigs. Any tips?

Oregon is cool too tho

I'm from Missouri but I've been to Michigan a lot and gotta say the UP is pretty insane. The whole peninsula is lit. I think it deserves more than a 4, especially with Isle royale national park. A lot of my friends have ferried onto that island and backpacked it for a couple weeks

>>825786
That set of categories if pretty bias towards the west. For example lots of maine is private land. But it's all timber companies and lip balm magnates. And they don't care if you go on their land.
