Got myself a bike that I'm preparing for a 5000 km trip. I haven't done anything so big, that's not to say I believe I'm ill prepared.

What are some things to consider when being on the road for a few weeks? Maybe I'm missing something?

Went out to Pisgah this weekend and it got me thinking. I'd like to thru hike a portion of the AT over the course of two weeks to a month with someone who is just as interested to make that happen. I can't do the whole thing but I'd like to begin chunking it out, starting from GA.

Has anyone here done it before, who could share some information on meeting others who would be interested? I do know I can meet plenty of others on the trail. If anyone is interested in giving it a shot, let me know because I'd like to start talking about it ASAP and get something planned for 2017.

So /out/, anyone else out there live in tents during the summer? Pic related is part of my setup in northern Minnesota, a mile from Lake Superior. This is the second year I've done this. AMA I guess.

Hi not sure exactly what I can do for this girl, I think it's a Peruvian torch I'm not sure but I rescued it from a friend where it was like behind his toaster where it would apparently get splashed from his sunk enough to keep it alivr. It was a tiny little cluster and I've had it now for 3 months and it's looking better. Any tips on splitting it or whether I should just keep it as is ? Also is it a Peruvian torch which I think it's some type of trich. I'm just impressed I brought it back from the condition it was, it was the most sad looking thing ever

Holy shit /out/ this guy I found on youtube.

>No survival experience
>Wants to see how long he can survive in the wild
>Has his friend drop him off at random stream in national forest
>Brings no map/gps or anything
>Only has tiny knife and shitty pot and chinese magnesium firestarter
>Wearing T-shirt and Jeans
>Tries to catch fish and ends up eating tiny minnows and failing at starting fire.

The best part is that im on episode 13 and he seems lost as fuck, obviously he somehow escapes but it seems like this guy could have easily died.

I wasn't sure where else to post this but I need some help.

I have some sunflowers growing in a large pot in my living room under a lamp near a window until they're big enough to survive outside on their own.

Problem is, something is killing them and I'm not sure what. I'm kind of new to planting stuff in general and I can't find anything specific online.

Basically whatever it is eats away at the stems and leaves, crazy fast. The leaves end up looking like they have some sort of spider-web film left on them after being wrecked but I see no bugs in the pot or anywhere in my house for that matter. It doesn't look like fungus either but obviously if I knew I wouldn't be here.

Anything helps. Here's a random nature gif.

Went biking this morning for the 4th, and saw this beautiful painting in the sky at the park. Thought you'd all enjoy it. Anyone else have good sunrise/sunset pics?

So fellas, I'm aTexan planning on doing some solo hiking up in rocky Mountain National park in late july/early August. I'm pretty much just used to trails down here, so I wanted to know if I needed to prepare for any wild game that far north. I'm totally fine with beer mace, but I wanted to make sure I didn't need to bring a firearm chambered in .45 lc before I went.

God forbid I look like a total animu autist with my 10 gallon hat and single action revolver if I don't have to.

Thanks for the input

So no matter where I look in regards to advice I never see information about things like visa's/border transit/legalities/etc.
Its all just "Top 10 things to pack" and useless things like that.

I dont even know where to start.
If I wanna backpack through Europe, working at small jobs along the way, do I need a work visa? Are they hard to get?

Is there a certain length of stay I am allowed in countries/regions? What if i want to stay longer?

Any help?
