Archived threads in /out/ - Outdoors - 54. page

Outdoors people are often highly materialistic, which is sort of odd considering the reasons they claim to like the outdoors is to "get back to nature" and "simplicity".

Pick any hobby and you'll find gearheads. People like to buy things, have a deranged sense of brand loyalty and superiority for owning one item over another, and simply like to amass stuff.

I also think it is absurd, but I've seen it enough IRL to understand the psychology. The ultralight gearheads are the weirdest, obsessing over ounces as if they matter (or as if they are about to climb Mt. Everest and their life depends on it).

People are consumers, they'd been taught well. Gotta collect them all.

I assumed most people here are way over geared.

I use an old school bag to go /out/, come at me.

>>1065560
Gear = confidence

They're buying confidence.

I know, I know, it's pathetic.

It's cute when you limeys call it "wildcamping" when there is nothing wild at all about your tiny island

Yes.

But you'll suck a golf ball through a garden hose before you get a full 'drink' out of a fucking life straw.

>>1064961
Yes, just follow the directions

>>1064961
Fuck putting your face in the water to get a drink.

I have this exact filter and it's great.

/k/ is pretty terrible. I think the hunting threads are better off here. The venison is never as good when you take the deer with an RPG.

But we should send the majority of knoife threads to /k/ because that board is better at hosting that specific type of 'tism.

And the hobo fegs, if's like black people. The average poster wouldn't hate you quite so much if your community wasn't full of so many scumbags.

I also think hunting can be a lot more about /out/ than /k/. Like you said. We aren't blasting deer with 30rds of RIP ammo out of our FALs and SBRs.
Knife threads are relevant here as well but with the amount of meme bullshit that we deal with /k/ is definitely the better host for that. It seems like most people just want to post pocket jewelry anyway, and the edge geometry fags trigger me so hard. Also gibs me $12 orange kershaw pls.
I see what you mean about the bums, but our resident ones seem like pretty good people, unless you measure what makes a good person by the content of their bank accounts. I think they deserve better than they get. But at the same time I never post in the homeless thread or come to bat for them so I suppose I'm part of that problem.

>>1064886
>What would YOU like to see from /out/?
I second decreased shitposting, especially from the r9k/mgtow faggots (and enough with the unnecessary /pol/posting, too). Other than that, I think this is a comfy place to hang out. I do like the level of helpfulness I find here and on /diy/.

Trolling aside, forest fire is one way of nature regulating the forest. Forest in north america need to get burn down every now and then for forest rejuvenation to occur and artificially suppressing these natural cycle will only bite us back in the ass by way of forest fire of several magnitude bigger than when they are allowed to consume the forest naturally

>>1064456
If people took care of deadfall and picked up sticks and shit there wouldn't be as many fires.

>>1064460
In a forest tens of thousands of acres large? Good luck with that

>>1064400
Your pictures are gay.

And the bump limit is 310. At least wait til then

Anything is better than basic white cunts with no tits or ass holding meme fish that they didn't even reel in.

nearly every insect is edible if cooked properly, though i don't imagine any of them taste 'good'

"Mint-fed crickets will adopt a minty taste" ... and now, I'm craving crickets.

They appear to be, Anon. I don't know of any look-alikes. If there are any, I'm sure other anons will cover it

Go to a temp labor and get some work.

Sleep in a car or tent, get a gym membership to bath.

Get a labouring job. Fruit picking or shit kicker on a construction site.

What part of the country are you in? Make a plan to get somewhere you can live outside during winter, bums freeze to death all the time.
Get to a large town in a warm state and stand outside a Home Depot. If you're a white guy and don't look creepy as fuck you'll get hired over Mexicans all day (white people don't like having brown people see where they live). Be very vague if people ask about your life, don't creep them out.
If all else fails, panhandle. You can probably make $200-400/day in a large town, which comes out to $75K-$150K tax free.
Whatever you do, don't consider robbery. Everyone I know CCs and I won't hesitate to blast your guts open if you come at me.


Good Luck!

Nope

Why? Clothes are a useful fucking invention.

I have done it before and few things beat swimming naked in the ocean.
Haven't done in a while doe but there's a decent amount of people doing it daily in "my" beach. Unfortunately it's mostly old farts and not qt woman.

This hippie looks like a tool, but hes wearing something that looks like might breathe and protect from the sun. Anyone know of something actually designed for this purpose?

.

Tent is not optional nor for emergencies only. If you plan to live IN your can you have already lost, you must find ways to live OUT of your can.

I vandwelled for half a year and even with autistic hygiene and a cooler climates, the... smell of living in a can became permanent until I started sleeping outside as much as possible and airing my shit out. You fart so much during sleeping that that alone can stink shit up. Try and cook outside to

Good list but you left out the fucking van genius.

Get a job you fucking hippy!
