Dunno about "camping and hiking" specifically, but my favorite book on foraging is called "stalking the wild asparagus" by euell gibbons. damn, this book has everything in it, and it will really spark a person's imagination concerning cooking and processing food with wild ingredients

Look up hiking sock liners, they apparently are amazing. Haven't tried them yet but thru hikers on the AT swear by them

Gel soles

Rub your feet with metho once a day for a week before your hike.

Very good question, bump for interest.
I think that would be pretty awesome, especially if people make some nice trails.
I have a similar situation with Cuba. /out/ there is pretty fucking nice (I went to Punto Turquino, and my family has a house next to the ocean and mountains.) It's a communist country though, and that fucking sucks.
I would definitely like to visit there again and just stay my entire time /out/ in the mountains. I may have a chance fairly soon.

My choice is small streams that are in connection with bigger rivers going down the sea. Usually light 3-10 grams test spinning or 5 wt fly rod is in use.

There's a fishing general. Plenty of anons there are interested in discussing trout fishing.

>I'll be in Switzerland for a few weeks. Who can recommend some good alps to hike?
AI could, but theres like several ten-thousand hikes. What are you looking for Dayhikes? Hut touring? Wild camping?
Here's a website with hike reports: http://www.hikr.org/region2.html and here is the Swiss topographic map and here's the SAC site which runs most of the mountain huts http://www.sac-cas.ch/
>Preferably something with a trail head near a train station and something that doesn't require technical gear.
Postauto bus will bring you pretty much everywhere. and back. Most alpine villages don't have a train station but use the bus. Hiking in September can be pretty, mind the weather and the hunting season tho. Yellow marked trails are easy walking, red trails are hiking and blue routes are technical ascent only.

That topo is very helpful thanks

Cant help at all but I've read that japanese people use yahoo or something else so probably why you can't find anything on google about it.

When I lived in Japan, I got /out/ on quite a few hikes in the Chiba area, so while I can't give you suggestions on Hakone, I have some overall pointers for hiking in Japan.

First, it's really hard to find info about Japanese hikes in English. Do you know Japanese? It helps to looks for ハイキングコース (Hiking Courses) in the area that you want.
Here's one for Hakone:
http://www.hakone.or.jp/hiking/

Looks like you chose a good spot for hiking since that website says there's 24 courses in the Hakone area. This should be a download link for the map for Hakone hikes: http://www.hakone.or.jp/hiking/pdf/hike.pdf

But just in case you haven't gone on any hikes so far in Japan, be prepared for much less maintained trails than ones in the US. A lot of the ones I went on were incredibly rockey, even becoming bouldering at times. Even the path up Mount Fuji! Though that led to an even more enjoyable experience desu

Oh also, transportation out there can be funky sometimes. If you happen to be using google maps, sometimes it's best to just have it lead you to the closest station. Once you chose a trail, try checking for independent shuttle buses to the trailhead.

Enjoy your time exploring!

I hear Mount Takao is also good for hiking and day trips out of Tokyo.

>any advice?
Yeah, leave the buggers alone. For you its urbex, for them its a big weird smelly racoon like bastard trying to destroy their home - guess who's gonna give up first
>tazer or mace
For a tazer you need physical contact, which might be really stupid unless you like rabies shots. Also try using mace in the open, much less 'enjoyable' in close quarters.
My guess is, the raccoons found a dirty old hole and made camp there, you wont find anything there of value..

Mini bat is my first choice for dispatch on the trapline. They die... ugly

There is a raccoon that hangs around my property keeping the cats away so I half buried the top of a dog igloo thing and covered it in dirt and debris. Now he's got a nice cave to live in.

No one watching it? Kinda neat as fuck.

Francesc d’Haene won ahead of Kilian Journet who finished second.

The livestream was useless. Can't wait for the RunSteep video on it though, the ones he made for Sonoma 50 and NFEC were amazing. Glad to see Jim "Show Up to Blow Up" Walmsley holding on to 5th.

Meh, it's not exactly the old faithful inn.

I have for a long time dreampt of going to go to Pendelton, South Carolina.

You could try trails on nature preserves. I have some family out there and they've said they like Botany Bay on Edisto Island

And if you get a kayak you open up a ton of possibilities for yourself. One of my cousins took me to a river where he regularly finds a ton of fossils and shark teeth. Not sure where it was but if that's your thing you could get recommendations about where to go from a fossil forum
