Youtube is a valuable recourse for beginners wanting to go /out/ You obviously know nothing and have nothing to contribute. Not sure what you're doing here.

Looks like I need to apply for a work visa

>>812688
You better do it before 2017

You could say I'm uh.. "familiar" with it. Hiking the ADKs in general also.

Hiking options close to Lake George aren't particularly numerous (5-6 various mountains around the lake) but several do all have incredible views if you are up for hiking a mountain.

Two that I've done multiple times each are Buck Mtn and Black Mtn on the Eastern Shore. They are pretty similar and about 2.5-3 mi up and back, somewhat challenging cardio-wise, and have the 2 best views of the lake. Buck looks across the southern basin right toward The Sagamore and is the better one imo. Black Mtn is slightly further up the lake and has a view of the Narrows (islands in lake mid section). Would highly recommend both. You will see a few sets up people up and back and maybe a dozen at the summit, but it's Lake George, hard to escape people in the summer. There are also some other trails around the bases of these two mountains that are non-mountain hikes or smaller mtn hikes but probably not much to see. Both Buck/Black Mtn areas are about a 40 min drive around the south end of the lake and back up. Make sure NOT to take rt 9L along the eastern shore like your GPS might tell you to. It's a dead end at a private road.

Prospect Mtn is the most touristy because it's right in Lake George and you can drive your car up ($10 toll).

The one difficult option would be the Tongue Mtn range midway up the lake. It's a mountain peninsula and there is a loop along the ridge and the shore that's 10+ mi round trip. The pic you posted is actually taken from somewhere along it.

That's pretty much it for hikes in the immediate LG area. The rest of the ADKs ranges from 1-5 hours away and has many hundreds of other choices, depends what you want. You might want to get a National Geographics Trail's Illustrated map of whatever area of the ADKs you want hike, includes Lake George.

High Peaks or bust. Lake George is a pretty comfy place to stay, though.

Thanks guys, I'll try to take those into consideration.

>>812405
there is a limited time you can stay on state or blm land, i think it is 30 days however state land may be closer to 20

In Michigan you just have to move your campsite an appreciable distance (like a half mile or so) after 3 weeks, idk how it works in WA though

>>812405
Dunno about the laws in Washington but in most places you're best bet is to get your own plot of land
Or relocate every week or so

Rig up solar panels, maybe a tiny windmill attached to a motor to charge batteries.

>>812202
Are solar panels an option? What about windmills? I'd imagine there would be plenty of ways to generate power on a boat.

>>812202
Being this stupid and not knowing about Solar panel chargers.

My potatoes have started to sprout flowers. how much longer should I have before harvest? I was thinking sometime next month. Zone 5b, planted about 2 weeks late I think, red potatoes.

Try going for days straight of MREs. Not only does it get bland but in my experience they can really block up your insides. For a few days its ok but not after a week straight.

packed 3 MREs for roskilde festival, tasted great. was easy as fuck and all the extra stuff in em
was great, Chili and macaroni was definately the best ones. would definately pack them again for /out/ activities, nice to have non-dehydrated food

My favorite MRE channel is the guy from New Zealand

They are blackberries. Delicious.

>>811381
How could you not know about blackberries being edible? Am I being baited?

Red and green ones aren't ripe

Black/purple ones are

Have fun

Booze ain't an option sadly. The medication I'm makes it so that all it takes is a sniff of something for me and I'm out cold

>>809505
So don't let them get bored. /out is a fucking infinite wonderland of shit for kids to do. Just make sure it's structured. Make everything a competition. Make them your helpers.

And then never ever ever let your kids be like they are.

As for the mother in law and ask that shit, you've dug your own grave, anon. The only way to avoid it is to put your foot down and say no to that stupid shit. Don't say you can't, that's pussy shit.

lmfao

I hope you realize you can't just dump apple seeds and expect them to grow.

and keep your shit trees out of public parks, no ones waiting for your shitty apples.

Do some research before you go ahead with your plan. If you just plant seeds you'll probably just end up with shitty apples no one wants.

>>808498
Thats not how planting apple trees works (if you want people to be able to eat them that is).

For example if you wanted a Granny Smith apple tree you cant just plant seeds from a Granny Smith apple. The apples you would get from that tree would most likely be nothing like Granny Smith apples.

You need to cut a branch from the apple tree you want, put it into rooting hormone and then plant that shit where you want.

also if you could give the name of the knot that would be great

Palomar for fishing hooks
Albright for merging 2 lengths of line
Arbor for pretty much everything else

When in doubt if you dont know knots, tie lots
