If this has been posted by the guys that run this site, I just want you to know I fuckin love your shit. The only problem is that I'm in Australia at the moment and getting anything at all shipped here is way too fucking expensive, but I'll be moving to England soon, and I'm planning on ordering a bunch of shit then.

Same leaf, but it fell off before I could take a better picture, so hopefully this helps.

Last picture. This is the rest of the plant, it seems like this other leaf will endure the same fate.

Is it deficient? Too much liquid feed? Maybe try another brand of liquid feed?

I'd lean towards low light and possibly overly wet soil from the pics. The top leaves look fine though. They will drop their bottom leaves first under stress and also after time if they're perfectly happy.

The 'inner self' is bullshit. It's just consciousness, ego and perception. All this stuff has a mystic cultural hippy filter over the top of it which makes it seem like crap. Makes me cringe how pretentious it is sometimes because the core is very important. Just take the time to sit in silence for a while and understand who you are and what your place is in this existence. Spirituality is not about shrooms and peyote and dancing around at festivals. Obfuscating your senses and fucking with your perception is the exact opposite of discovering who you are. Not saying you do this shit OP, I just know a lot of dumbass people who behave like this thinking they're so free and deep then end up miserable because their 'spirituality' was teaspoon shallow.

For my part I don't often feel safe and happy in my life but a few times I've spent walking through forests on my own or sitting quietly by a river I feel so at peace I cry and can't stop smiling. It's nice. I also like to think I know myself pretty well, which is important. I don't quite want to die right now, but I'm at peace with the idea of death. Being outside, growing plants, spending time with animals and making things are pretty much the only things that give me any comfort. That's about all that matters to me right now when it comes to 'discovering myself'.

Batteries

Surce: lolpro photographer

Oh yead, and dont buy a mirrorless, its a meme camera

I bring my EOS 6D with lenses everywhere I go. I take 3 batteries, it's enough for 1 months as long as you don't film or use the screen too much. Also, there's no pop up flash on it so it saves battery.

Mirrorless camera can be awesome (Sony a7 for exemple) but the battery is really (really) shitty compared to DSLR

Depending on your location, it could have been a...
Lion.
Grizzly.
Elephant.
Chupacabra.
Yeti.
Skinwalker.
Dropbear.
Hambeast.
Dinosaur.

The possibilities are endless.

Apparently someone has never been to Santa's village.

I always bring a bottle of vodka with me (not just for drinking)

I end up drinking a good portion of it before bed :P

I always take my trusty hammock and some weed when I go out for day hikes some times if its cold ill take a flask of some thing

Yes, mushrooms usually. They create the feel that is, for me, the best fit for a natural setting. LSD is a close second.

After thirteen years of smoking a pack or two of cigarettes every day and only being active when actually out, my heart is about ready to pop. I probably won't see it coming.

The wife has had bradycardia and syncope from low bp since we started dating. She had a pacemaker placed almost a year ago. It cut the frequency of her pass out spells in half, so hopefully we can do more backpacking. So all we do is rent campsites at a local lake 2-3 times each month during the summer. We both love camping. It is just we cannot be too remote. It is a less used area so we rarely see other campers. Otherwise she's in great health. We just can't be out in the middle of nowhere and have her hit the ground.

I smoke too, so..... sucks

you're being a pussy. just do it. don't break an ankle.

If it's only 56 miles AND one of your first long distance hikes, then you shouldn't be pushing yourself. Don't set a day goal, give yourself a solid 6 days just for comfort and go easy in the beginning. Any beginner can easily go 56 miles in 6 days given a minimal amount of physical preperation. Enjoy yourself! No need to rush or put unnecessary pressure!

I think you can do it. If you've already done overnight hikes, you already know that hiking with a heavy pack is not at all the same thing as hiking unencumbered.

But 14 miles a day with a pack is very do-able, as long as you don't pack like a retard. Make sure you keep it as light as possible, and pack more food than you think you need (like if you think you need 4 days food, bring 6), but make it light food.

Water is the other consideration. Does the route have plenty of water sources you can draw from? Check the maps ahead of time. If there's plenty of water, you're probably good to go.

No, I have to drive to my /out/ locations. Since I live in a small euro city with no /out/doors culture, if I did what you're saying people would start thinking I'm a weirdo if I did that alone. If I was doing that with a bunch of friends, which I've done before, it's just a picknick.
Sucks having to drive a few hundreads km to enjoy nature. Gladly I have a beach couple km away tho.

What country is this?

>>713015
I live within walking distance (four miles) of a preserve with a six mile trail, so a lot of times I'll grab some torts, summer sausage and cheese sticks and go walk most or all of it. It's not exactly my favorite place, since I can't have a camp, fire, fish or even pick berries, and I'm pretty sure I'm not even supposed to drink the water, but fuck them on that; there's no way I'm doing a 20 mile without refilling my water.

It's also a western US pine forest that got major fire damage last year. I've been trying to get down there at least twice a week to check for morels. I'll take my chances with the Feds to get my hands on some morels.

>Going to go live in the woods alone and with no real-world experience.
>What will I do?
Die, probably.

But it's beautiful there, so I may come watch you die. It'll be fun. For me.

Die or get molested by the Rainbow Family. Either way, better to stay indoors.

Who said I'm living in the woods? I'm living in a house in the same county. That's why i used the phrase "next to."

No. We buy plastic Fiskars axes
