Your fellow man.

Texan here. Took my dog on a 3 mile hike shortly after noon. Poor girl couldn't do it. We've gone way farther than 3mi before, but with that Texas heat and humidity I had to carry her the last half mile. Not to mention we blazed through my water supply.

Not sure where you're from underestimating heat here is dangerous.

Just embrace the summer, anon. I fucking love that you can comfortably stay out all night adventuring if you want.

>>768527
Got a trip to Emerald Isle NC in a couple weeks. Any anons wanna give some advice? Been to the OBX have fished for Flounder, seatrout, and Red drums at the Oregon Inlet and the Jetty. Same tactics apply for bogue sound?
Im excited for some Saltwater. As a Kentucky cunt its only a once in awhile treat.

anyone here fish from docks and shore? If so any tips? we're kinda limited to the brush and how far we can cast. I'm not sure how to get an advantage out of it?

>>768534
get a kayak or canoe

>>768347
It's pretty beat up and the majority is privately owned, but good for an east coast state park

>>768347
Went backpacking there a few years ago. It's beautiful but the trails are definitely in pretty rough shape. Otherwise it's highly recommended for east coasters.

It looks fucking unreal on google earth, I guess I figured if it was so great you'd hear about it more.

As a denizen of the Pine Tree State, I pine for endless deciduous forest.

Same problem here, man. Glad I'm in Scandinavia, I'd prolly die in warmer places.

>>768292
Could be a number of issues. Are you properly hydrated? Poor physical shape? Overweight? Smoker? History of medical conditions or do you have any? How about your clothing? Breathable fabrics in extreme conditions can make or break you. Those all can be factors in why you're like that. Also if you work in an AC cooled building and you go out in to a 90+ degree area with high humidity it's a shock to your system. Keep yourself hydrated and make sure you rest enough so fatigue isn't an issue. If things persist to where it absolutely ruins your experience outside, see a doctor.

Hiking in warm weather sucks. Period.

How much was it?

>>767405
$45 but I paid $20 because I had a $25 gift card.

>>767407
You did great then. It's a little on the heavy side but you can't beat that for the money. Good ventilation, probably condensation won't be an issue, lots of space to put all your stuff inside.

My only advice is to be smart about the wind direction when fixing it. Think ahead since the wind changes during the day and night.

There's old beans on the pan

Grab lots of tiny sticks, about as much as you can fit in your hand do it 2 times. Grab slightly larger sticks about as much as you can fit in your hand, do it about 3 times, grab a bunch of finger whidth sticks about as much as would fit in your hand, do it for 4 more times, grab a bunch of slightly thicker sticks, grab about as much as you can fit in your hand, do it 3 more times. Have a bunch of fire wood that is dryish. Pile the sticks with the smallest at the bottom and so on, trow a match at it.
If your sticks don't catch they ate either wet or not small enough. The smaller ones should fit between these two [ ] and between these two [ ]

for one thing don't build your fire sideways

Went through about 16,000 of them during the early ones in Christchurch, New Zealand in 2010-2011. A couple at 7.1 and 7.3 each. Couple of hundred killed in the big one, but nothing compared to Fukishima.

Experienced a couple of 4s when I was in Japan.

I'd want to have:

Mobile phone,
Torch,
Book,
FAK,
Couple of bottles of water and snacks,
Emergency blanket,
Gloves

>>764262
I was in Japan for the 2011 earthquake. Came near to losing my family in the tsunami. Had to camp in my car for three days. Make two bags/backpacks, one for home and one for the car. The anon who posted in 764328 has a good list of things. I'd add something so that you can charge your mobile phone. We have solar chargers and battery packs for charging here in Japan. I'd also throw in a change of underwear if you can. And don't forget a small radio - you can get news without running your mobile battery down.

Lemon butter, with thyme and garlic, baked salmon, green beans, and broccoli and cheese rice

Tilapia fillet fried in butter seasoned with lemon pepper and breaded with Parmesan cheese. Then added some diced tomatoes and green chiles + paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and cumin to the pan and cooked until the liquid was gone.

Not bad really.

What's wrong with my pepper? Some of the leaves have spots like this and the tips of most leaves are broken or brown

They make mouth guards/pieces that are more effective than CPAPs, cheaper, safer, no noise, portable.
I don't really get sleep apnea. I guess I die (ie stop breathing) pretty much every night according to my wife but I sleep really well, wake up without an alarm between 5-7 every day, am active, really have no issues other than I snore a fuckton and stop breathing until I suffocate myself enough to wake up and repeat process, and run on sentences. I'm really good at those.

I think you might want to get a medical professional's opinion on that if you have not done so already...

>>762463
RRT and RPSGT here.
You do not die, whoever told you this is fucking stupid. Would you say you die just because you hold your breath?
You are right about the mouth pieces though. DO NOT get some gimmicky piece of shit you have seen on an infomercial (breatheright, sure sleep, zzypah, etc.). They will not correct OSA. They are for the treatment of snoring. Snoring =/= OSA. You can go to an AASM certified dentist or orthodontist to be fitted for a mandibular advancement device. Once you get used to wearing the device you will never use a cpap again.
There is also a surgery you can have called the UPPP (google it). If the surgery is a success it can correct your OSA.
If you have a mild or moderate case of OSA alot of time sleeping position will help while /out/. Sleep on your side or at an incline. Hammocks are GOAT for sleeping at an incline and alleviating OSA symptoms.
If you are truly not fat then you should seriously look into the UPPP surgery. If you are overweight just do what you can to lose the weight. Weight reduction is the number 1 thing you can do to improve OSA.
Hope this helps anons.

Wish I kept my REI receipt so I could try out different sleeping bags.

Oh well, my current one is OK and compresses really well.

Well, I have a Browning™ Yellowstone mummy bag. It's rated for 20ºF, although I wouldn't try to use it that cold without a pad or underquilt. I've been quite comfy in it on cots, in my hammock, and on the ground but if it's gonna be below like 30-40 you need an under layer for sure. I was hard-up for a new sleebin bag on short notice and went to my local redneck shop and they had this, so I bought it for about $90. My friends have MASSIVE ~10lb beasts that are impossible to carry, so I'm pretty happy with my 3lb bag. The thing I really love about it is just how cumpfy it is. It's just the most amazing soft nylon that it just lulls you to sleep. Even when the bag is freezing cold when you climb in, it still feels so nice and inviting. I call it my warm horsecunt and it doesn't disappoint!

If I start doing long hikes and become an ultralight fagét I'll have to leave it behind but that's not really what I'm into.

>>761227
Sounds and looks comfy, Anon. Does it pack well?

I've got a UA running shirt and a Nike dri-fit running shirt.

The UA shirt seems to acquire and retain stains much more easily than the Nike. It also started to pill up where it rubs against backpack straps much earlier than the Nike.

When is this balding cunt gonna die already? He pretends to be an outdoorsman yet he doesnt do shit and he contributes to the nutnfancy groupthink of "big knives r gud durrr"

Who is this faggot?

I haven't been camping in this state for over a year and tonight is my perfect camping night but I cannot build up the courage to go out anywhere for fear of harassment from nosy people or rangers.

>>761016
Sucks to be you. Beach camping is my favorite. Here in Texas it is legal to camp on any beach not inside a city limit for free at any rate time. I really don't know why more bums don't do it. I drive down to the coast and fish all the time and just sleep in the bed of my truck. Ocean, stars, fresh fish, fire pit in the sand, and enough beer to kill a horse.

>>761040
I am often jealous of the Texan levels of freedom you enjoy. Australia very bad for going out and doing things. Literally everything is strictly regulated and policed. Think of any activity that isn't sitting inside watching Masterchef and paying taxes, and I will show you 50 different laws to fuck your shit up.
