This guy is the craziest son of a bitch I've ever seen.

I admire him. I fear him. I want to have a beer with him. I want to have 30 beers with him. I want to ride across many places with him, so long as those pkaces aren't the fucking North Pole. That crazy bastard.

People call me crazy for the adventures I go on, this guy is so far beyond what I would ever consider doing.

The craziest thing is he goes with the flow the entire time and has no real set plan. The craziest part was him biking from Mexico to Argentina without knowing any Spanish when he got there. He was almost completely fluent by the time he got to Colombia. I'm wanting to plan a trip similar to his from Tuktayuktuk all the way to San Francisco while stopping to hit every National Park I can in the North west.

I added him on Facebook and he gave me some good advice, but most of the shit you need to know is all on his website. He's really fucking good at editing

what does he do for money/work?

If it doesn't say Diawa or Shimano on the side you dun goofed.

Can't go wrong with anything Shimano.

They code name all reels, spinning starts with S, casting with C.

A Calcutta would get you in the 30 lb range.

What are we fishing for?

Bump x2

Bump x3

Glastonbury Tor is the only vaguely /out/ place round those parts, it's mostly just farm land and market towns, Nearest genuinely good place is the Cornish coast or Dartmoor, although these places are still not really /out/ as you'll still bump into people or settlements every 5 minutes, but hey that's what it's like living in England.
Nice to see a good Britpost though, we don't get the attention we deserve on /out/.

Atlanta anon here. North Georgia along the Appalachians is gorgeous. Check out Blood Mountain in North GA, it has some pretty nice waterfall areas. I do multiple day hikes around there with my dad all the time. It's a little more well traveled by hikers because it's trail oriented, but my dad can't climb like he used to so we gotta make due.

Where do you start and where do you finish?

Dawson Forest, in Georgia. It used to be a US Air Force nuclear power research facility. There are still some cement structures and underground places to sneak into. It is a solid day hiking/urbex location.

Allergies, more than likely. Another distinct possibility is that your immune system is just weak as shit

could be cold air, could be high or low humidity, quite reasonably could be an electrolite imbalance

Did you sleep in a hammock? I find the way my hammock makes me lay. If I spend more then 2 hours in it. My throat and nose gets really dry and cold.. I also sleep on my back so. Ground level FTW.

Sorry m8, /out/ is for role-players, much like a fantasy football league. Ask any real questions about outdoors and they freeze like a deer in headlights. Sorry.

It wasn't always that way, but sadly that's a fair assessment of modern /out/.

>Anyone here climbed Triglav? I want to do it next summer but dont want to spend a bunch on guides.
Been at the base twice, couldn't do it twice. first time I fucked up my toe on the beach of lake bohin, second time it was heavy thunderstorms.
From what I have read and heard, as long as you stick to the easy routes, it's an average mountain. If you have some basic skills and stamina for mountaineering, you won't need a guide.
but if this is your first time heading /out/, Triglav is certainly of a caliber that can fuck you up if you don't know what you are doing.

In two days reached the morenas, and camped there, oppic. the altitude was 3800-4000m. It was very cold and silent there, felt like I was on another planet, so as I planned my challenge started when I reached the first glaciers. I was going to spend two or three days getting ready for the ascent. Two days passed, the night I was to leave my camp came but the freezing cold and wind mde me stay in the tent that midnight. The next morning I felt weak. I had no heat sourse and was drinking grey cold water from morenas, one candy and a few bread with canned fish two times per day. I was sure it's too much for this easy trip, ''those guys from Bonongton expedition on the Ogre haven't been eating for a week and still managed to climb on 7000, so stop whinning''. The nights became very cold long, almost endless, I was laying on the stones shaking hard from freezing cold, waiting for the first glimpses of dusk, just to realize something other than this endless cold dark still exists. With the first light I was falling into absolute delirium, I was seeing the weirdest dreams ever, they became so real and intense, It took me quite a time to come back to reality, which was frightening, there was nothing to make me feel safe or comfortable, so I preffered to stay lucid. Every night I struggled with my weakness and fear to make that burst and start ascent, it seemed my thoughts were still sleeping and not realizing the reality, so when I was making an enormous effort to open the one layer ice covered tent flap, the killing cold and darkness made me say to myself I'm freaking crazy, and I covered my head with icy jacket to keep the last warmth of my breath. On the seveth day I woke up at 3 pm and made a strong decision that today's gonna be the day, I tried to make some exersises to make the weakness go away, and to my surprise I couldn't raise my arms, it was funny at first, tried to pick up a stone and lift it up, barely stood up,

I felt myself like a ghost that couldn't interract with material world. Never mind, the night came, and I finally left my tent, first half an hour everything felt unreal and scary, the layer of snow made the planned path look unfamiliar, but I kept walking, when the dusk came I felt super uplifted and full of strength, the most difficult part of the route that I was thinking may appear too hard for me, was really easy and I passed it fast. Then the slope began, it was covered with snow, but the ice underneath was rock solid, crampons barely held on it, above the slope there was a range of high rocks, soon I heard a weird bullet like noise, that came from the stones falling as the sun heated the rocks above. When they started to fly by my feet like shadows, leaving carves in the snow, I felt very uncomfortable. By the end of traversing the slope my crampons got filled with wet snow, and on the next step I suddenly fell and started to slipp into the abyss very fast, I tried to scratch hold wih my bare hands on ice, rocks or anything, since I was sure it was the end,

but I felt sudden shocking pain, it was my habitual dislocation on the shoulder that poped out, I still was falling very fast, to the place I was looking every day, the glacier below the slope with vast open cravasses. Up to this day I don't know what stopped me, but I found myself on the same inclined slope, managed to get up shaking from adrenaline rush, with crazy force turned the shoulder into its place, one finger was turned weirdly, so my left hand got completely useless. I was disturbed, but after thinking about all the stuff I went through I continued my way towards peak, I could risk myself going back throught that stone shooting traverse, remembering the stories those stones can crash your knee, leg, head, that was scary. One crampon was gone after falling, I started to avoid ice\snow, and step only on rocks, they were covered with transparent ice but still felt safer than snow. I had a huge slope 60-70% inclined ahead of me, but it had a thin ridge of rocks along its side so I started to gain elevation. It took me very long time to rech the end of the slope, and at it's end it had vertical ice wall that i couldn't see from the distance, and it had a cravass right under the wall, so the wall was going deep into the ice. I looked down and nearly fainted, I climbed too high and couldn't go back, I would 100% fall when trying to climb down. So I had to cross the wall. The snow under the wall was very deep, the entire stick was buring into it, inclination reached became almost vertical, every step took 1-2 minutes, buring the stick tyed to my hand tightly, so if I fall it may hold me, I wasn't controlling the last steps and climbing the wall, I was totally aware of the consequences, and was too desperate to do anything else, so the last climb was on the edge, I remember I felt my body leaninig back, it was scary, the end was so close and easy, with some crazy body effort I managed to hold myself and overcame the wall,

You know, after actually reading the thread, it's very different from the title implied.

And why are the dudes who test outdoor tools on youtube always bold?

have you looked for verruca socks ? I don't think the sealskinz or berghaus ones I have would be ideal for swimming.

>>1073530
Could work, but I would probably need some shoes for protection and some kind of tape around the ankle.

The south (on this map)

Your map is shit. Cyprus is wrong and there's no corn in the sea.

The south/west virginia

Basically whatever positions you to leave Ohio the fastest

You just described a tarp you idiot.

$50: http://borahgear.com/tarps.html

Tarps sucks. Thats not a tent. When there's storm outside, everything gets wet.
Light means I dont want 12 person castle or 4 person tent with high of basketball player. Just tent I can pack and take with friend, but with high quality.
