Deadly geography thread?

>The gas spilled over the northern lip of the lake into a valley running roughly east-west from Cha to Subum, and then rushed down two valleys branching off it to the north, displacing all the air and suffocating some 1,700 people within 25 kilometres (16 mi) of the lake, mostly rural villagers, as well as 3,500 livestock.

well, Vesuvius has a pretty impressive body count

True, but in terms of mortality rate among mountaineer deaths, nothing tops Annapurna.

Why not shoot the cairns?

Awesome, ease of access camping in the Munds Mountain Wilderness. Just gotta hike in a few miles. You can park your vehicles at the trailhead.

Moras are a good knife, but they can run on the expensive side.
Depending on what you need and use it for, you can get away with getting something that isn't $600.
What do you intend to use it for?
Personally, I dont fancy them

well thanks for nothing /out/.

Yes, a good pair of binos will last you basically forever. If you're actually gonna use them, it's a good investment.

As long as you actually use them, good pair of nocks will last basically forever and if you take care of them they're worth their value.

>>627931
literally the same deal for 75$ nikons.

paying 200+ on binos is for shit like special prisims that remove chromatic abbertition which you really wont notice that much anyway

Look for it with your eyes

Do you have a cave sniffing dog?

52 acres isn't that big for exploration. Spend a day or two wandering around and you'll find it

I went searching twice but didn't find a single shroom

austria here, went on cow paddocks on about 700-900 meters above sea ground

Me and my brother (both into mycology, brother is an expert of identification imo) found a patch of land home to a ton of Banded Mottlegills in this grassy park where you'd often see rabbits and their shit. We'd come down every week to harvest and eat some together just to have a fun time. Alot of the vibrant visions and euthoric feelings were shared so we never felt alone... It's honestly been the best autumn I've ever had!

>>626899
They are not always in the ideal locations imo, ive found dozens in habitats that you wouldnt think produce!

>>626902
Sounds like great bonding time, taking some in the open is something ive been sketchy about but im glad you had a great time, they always make this time of year eventful!

>>626916
Thanks for your input trying to get my shit all dicked! Do you know anything about mushrooms or fungi in general? If not please remove yourself from the thread or exsistance.
All three you pointed out are unrelated to this so go find a hobby.

We already have about 7 knife threads. Delete this.

Op I will throw you a bone and get this thread rolling (or not, lel) with a bit of controversy.

Bark River, some people hate some people love, and some people think they know ore about knives/knife making then them.

Some people always talk about how they fucked up with heat threat and how their blades break, well Mike Stewart said in this video that they only had like 5 broken knives in the last 15 years. Also he praised their heat treatment, a lot.

What do you guys think, are the critics right or are they faggots who speak from their ass without knowing shit about knives other than listening to what some shill said in some sketchy YT video?

Said video

For me I think I want a Bark River knife now.

But behind the scenes, J.D. Long, a 54-year-old resident of the rural hamlet of Liberty, Kentucky, says the show's producers came onto his approximately 49-acre property after his sister, who lives there, explicitly told them they weren't welcome. Long was furious when his sister told him that the team had built the tree house at least partly out of lumber he says they logged on his land.

(One of Long's lawyers, Andrew Trimble, says he saw multiple tree stumps at the site during a survey—consistent, he said, with claims in the broadcast that the tree house was built using local materials.) Long told local police that he commissioned a survey and found that three-quarters of the new tree house along with a recreational zip line had been built on his property, near the boundary line he shares with his neighbor, Rodney D. Finn.

"They didn't cut just any tree," Long said. "Some of these trees they cut, they're not replaceable. They only grow in certain places. They grow in deep, dark hollows." Long, a landscaper and nurseryman by trade, says people tend to pay top dollar for this type of wood, which is prized in log cabin design.

Along with trespassing and cutting down his trees, people working for the show allegedly chipped away at the rock face of a waterfall—which Long says is also on his property—to make the concrete (in a scene that plays out in the actual broadcast), and then used that concrete to dam up one of his creeks.

But the most bizarre part of the incident, Long says, came in the middle of the night some months after filming had wrapped up—around November 20, 2014—when he woke to the sound of machinery. "My sister jumped out of bed, she was scared to death," he said. "It made this whizzing that sounded like the whole neighborhood was going to blow up." He called 911.

It turned out the whizzing was coming from a crane, Long said, which had arrived under the cover of darkness to tear down the tree house. Long says the remains of the tree house were then set on fire. "I mean, they could have set the whole mountain on fire, that's what got me," he said. "I was really aggravated."

Sheriff's Deputy Jamie Walters says he saw evidence of burned wood at the site of the tree house when he went to look, and he found debris in the creek, according to a police report he filed about the incident. In the same police report, Long's neighbor, Finn (whom Long is also suing), admitted to building the tree house that the production company had wanted for the episode. In court documents filed in his defense, Finn admitted to being an "associate" of Turtleman but denied the other allegations.

Finn did not respond to a voicemail left by Mother Jones, but in an interview with Walters last year, Finn said he had rented a crane and attempted to move the cabin after Long complained. Walters wrote, "He said when they tried to move the cabin it buckled in the center and came apart. Some of the cabin was salvaged but the remaining parts were burnt."

According to Walters, Finn said he admitted that he had "made a mistake when he constructed the cabin because he thought it was on his property." Long refused to accept $1,000 from Finn as an apology.

Animal Planet and Sharp Entertainment—the New York-based production company that makes the show—did not respond to repeat attempts to seek an interview for this article. Neither did attorneys Rebecca Schafer and Emily Newman, from the Louisville legal firm representing the bulk of the defendants. Schafer and Newman filed documents asking the court to dismiss the case in May and denied all the central allegations. The judge has yet to rule on that request.

In March, Long filed a suit against Animal Planet and its parent company, Discovery Communications, along with the show's production company, Sharp Entertainment, CORE Media Group (which owns Sharp), the cast of the show, and his neighbor Rodney D. Finn, who he says also trespassed and was involved in the construction and destruction of the tree house. Long has since been locked in the back-and-forth pre-trial exchange of documents between lawyers. No trial date has been set.

For his part, it seems Turtleman might need all the financial help he can get from the production company he has worked for since 2011. "People think I have a million dollars," he told the Post Standard, in March. "I got the famous part, but I haven't got the rich part figured out yet. I'm the poorest famous guy around. I only made $50,000 last year, and that's before taxes."

Call of the Wildman is still under investigation by the US Department of Agriculture, which is looking into multiple claims of animal mistreatment raised by Mother Jones' reporting last year: (video)

GoLite went bankrupt and I don't think they are coming back. Too bad because they made some top notch gear at good prices.

A Tarptent protrail is probably pretty close, but almost certainly heavier. Their stuff is well made and well thought out though.

I have spent some nights in a Seek Outside BT2 and can tell you that it fits the ultralight minimalist niche really well. Probably lighter than your GoLite and just as stout.

Last ditch would be to get hold of the Jimmy Tarps guy and see if he would make you a copy. He does good work and is still small enough to take custom orders, and be priced right.

>>634364
Go lite is coming back with a different name. I forget what but they emailed me to get the word out.

>>634385
Lot of good that email did them.
