put mud in a jar and sell it for $1 and people will laugh at you.

put mud in a jar and sell it for $100 and people will climb over each other to smear it on their face.

Welcome to 2003

>>704698
have you found any shit your cache yet?

the ones without shit are my favorite to find, because I leave shit in them.

yes actual shit that comes out of my asshole.

>>704704
I thought I was the only one hahaha, the reactions on the app are priceless.

>>714504
if i had the money and other things in my life weren't as they are...
i would buy land somewhere in the adirondacks and homestead/go on long ass hunting trips in the state forests there.

>>714508
>adirondacks
fuck me i just looked it up and it beautiful! whats stopping you from doing it? I'm 20 and life didn't go the way i planned so fuck it im going to to serve in the military until i can afford it.

>>714514
not allowed to own a gun because of reasons. it really is beautiful there, i agree. i want to make that dream happen anyway. just minus the hunting part.

>>713357
Fishing is relatively cheap compared to most hobbies

>>713357
You don't need much money to be /out/, in fact, some of the most /out/ people I know haven't worked in years.

Imagine what your cost of living would be if you didn't have rent/mortgage, car payment, utility bills, insurance(s)... the list goes on. Carry your home on your back, and travel with the seasons.

>>713361
Psst... Hey pep... OP hasn't replied at all to a thread he started two hours ago.

Think he went fishing?

Better question, why do we find jewels and shiny things so appealing?

My theory is it comes from spotting ripe fruits and colorful berries being important to our evolutionary survival.

>>713697
Actually it's more along the lines of why some cultures value fat people... having the spare time to create and wear decoration is a status symbol.

>>713699
Yeah, like exhibiting all your surplus energy in the form of finely crafted rare things.
But I'm talking about the initial attraction to things that make them decorative in the first place, why are opals and volcanic glass and emeralds so cool?

>>713463
Not sure what your purpose is for bringing a hatchet so I won't hate too much but that's pretty much deadweight if you're doing any kind of backpacking bro. If you really want to bring it I would combine caribiners with cordage to make it easy to access.

>>713463
looks like a really fucking nice setup OP im jealous

>>713470
Hiking to campsite? I don't like taking many trips and I like keeping as hands free as possible? Splitting my wood for said campsite?

Not trying to sound like a dick, but I don't know why you WOULDN'T bring one?

>>713109
To reiterate, because the pic doesn't make it clear, how do I stop the tongue of my boot from drifting to the left after lacing? I only have this problem on my left boot.

>>713109
take more straighter steps would be my guess

>>713109
Maybe unlace it and move the tongue around, move it to center and tie em up tight? If it's been like that a while the leather has been accustomed to being that shape.

I don't carry one because I can find this almost anywhere I go.

>>712914
what? how? It's beautiful. I always thought that you had to buy that shit because you had to cut down trees in order to extract it.

>>712920
it is literally in all the shoulders of pine (where the branch meets the trunk)

This seller provides free samples on twitter. You can try to get one.

Waterproof (IPX7 rated) life-resistant shell designed for adventure ( Waterproof for up to 30 minutes and a depth of 1 meter)
65 ft. Bluetooth wireless range and 9 hr. battery life go as long as you can (Actual wireless range and battery life will vary with use, settings and environmental conditions)

I personally find it most relieving to use a geocache as my commode.

Some say its bad for your health, but hell what isn't these days?

>>713049
Depends on what I'm doing. If I'm hiking, drop-squat-bury. If I'm camping (NF, not parking lot camping) I'll build a pole seat between a couple trees so I can relax and let it flow.

>>713057

Geocache shitting is fucked up, but I still find it hilarious.

ok fishos, im really curious on this one.
post a pic of your current most favourite lure that seems to just work wonders in the waters you fish.

For me its the Savage Gear TPE shrimp (pic related).
This lure has never failed to catch fish. I can throw hardbodies, crankbaits or spinners and catch nothing, then use this and clean up on all species, freshwater or saltwater. SEQ fisherman here.

>>712752
I was really interested in that lure. Happy to hear it works that well, at least somewhere. How do you work it?
Ill post a pic later today of my best.
X-rap is hella awesome tho.

I am the luckiest. Soon I will be living the hermit life.

>Why the fuck can't they be cheap like houses here in Texas
Because they are actually desirable places to live unlike Texas.

But seriously, too many people in this country now and they all want the American Dream: house, land, 2.2 kids, and all that jazz. The dream is (or will be) over soon. It will just be unaffordable for most people.

I watched it happen where I grew up in the Midwest. Land prices have increased so much that the only people that can afford to buy are rich liberals from San Francisco and iinvestor with Chinese backers. And since the price is high, the land is becoming more fragmented as the baby boomers inherit properties and then attempt to cash out by selling off small portions - 5 acres, 10 acres (which are essentially useless sizes for most people by the way).

Its likely I will never be able to afford property where I grew up. And from what I can tell, that's happening everywhere. Something's gotta give eventually.

>>713693
Meh. I live in Texas and I do that already. I'd love to live in colorado for the weed thing, but I feel like we might get at least some reform in that area in the next 10 years.

70 days before the average last frost here but we've got a long stretch of above freezing temps forecasted (thanks global warming) so I threw some peas in a planter just hoping to get some sprouts going. If the ground thaws soon I'm going to be super hyped to get the hardy shit planted so early.
