There's some outdoorsy songs on this. Similar to Simon and Garfunkel.
Biz Markie is the best for any occasion
I want to work at a ski resort in my country (America) over the winter, since I have a seasonal job at a summer camp lined up already for next year and can run them back to back. I have about $1500 cash saved up for whatever I might need (gear, rent, food, plane ticket, etc) and an interview on tuesday.
What should I expect as a liftie that won't be told to me before I get there? All I know is the hours are long, you're not making a ton of $, and there's no real flexibility in your schedule.
I'm used to just buying rentals and not giving any thought to my own equipment, but should I buy some of my own skis to beat up for a season? They're required to have, in some form, and I'm not entirely sure how seasonal rentals would work for that long.
what is /ouf/?

Do you already have the clothes?
If you're considering that as a permanent job (for many years) I recommend specialized gear, like modern carving-like skis and slope boots.
Getting your own stuff will be more affordable in the long run.
I'm a guide for blind people in mein country from time to time, so I carry my own gear, more focused towards ski touring, which is what I like the most in my free time, but I ALWAYS rent skis if the person I'm guiding has to rent them, so as to have the same kind of ski.
Down the road I guess I'll buy a pair of those short as fuck skis for freestyle and jumps, that are well suited to go slow with a newb, and I already have 6" skis from the early 90's that are completely straight to go fast like a demon.
If you're not convinced just lurk around the station, more so if there's a town near it. Many people sell second hand skis there for a more than reasonable price

You mean like long john silvers? How do I keep them from touching my anus?
Anyone here live on Long Island? Is it worth going to the Muttontown Preserve to visit the ruins of King Zog's Palace? Has anyone here went there and found it?
Im on LI. I didnt know about this place... but I'd like to see it.
Joining the Air Force and my job will have me in a plane so I get to go through this, can anyone tell me what to expect or what your experience was like?

Cool man, I'm a SERE specialist at Fairchild. Maybe I'll be teaching you.
Hey folks. I live in australia and I have started doing overnight through to 3 day hikes.
I have a ordered a simple Vango blade 100 tent until I get a feel for what I am after, as I am a novice. I was wondering, once i receive the tent and find out exactly how long the tent pole is overall, can I purchase a tent pole that comes in smaller sections? It packs down to a decent size, much smaller than the one I have now but it could be a lot smaller with shorter sectioned pole.
Cheers
You could consider getting trekking poles. Those are light, will pack down and many tents are intended for use with them.
Look you retard they aren't going to sell a small tent with really long poles.
You sound like a worrywart. Chill brah and get your shit together before ordering more gear.
>>629674
When I do a search for that all I get is hiking poles. It seems like it would be pretty easy to just get replacement poles and cut/string them myself. Can i do that without compromising the integrity of the tent if I make the sections shorter then they usually are?
I have seen a lot of different things here called gimmicks. What do you think are some real gimmicks?
dude thats bad ass I want one

>I have seen a lot of different things here called gimmicks.
It's a common phrased used by people who sit in their parents basement in attempt to elevate themselves by putting down things they can't afford, due to things like their parents not giving them much of an allowance.
Hey /out/
I am hoping someone can help me with a question. I am wanting to join my local ESAR (Explorer Search and Rescue) program, but i have a few black marks on my record. I know they do a background check through the department of emergency management, what i was told anyway by the local organization leader anyway. The way it was described to me in my orientation was "if you have ever been in the back of a cop car, for anything other than a ride along, you wont get in". That seems a bit outrageous to me, but how much truth is there too it? I really want to join, but i dont want to waste my weekends and money if im going to get denied.
Thanks for the help sirs/maddams.

Nobody regrets "experimentation", sexual or otherwise, until they want a real job.
Then it's all, "Holding me accountable for muh past is just, like, stupid, man."...
Or, "What do you mean I need an education? That's just like, stupid, man!"...
Who was that Seator that got busted in an airpot for slliciting homo blowjobs in the Men's room, because an undercover cop baited him with toilet paper stuck to his shoe under a wall in a stall?
Pled guilty, then had lawyer change plea! Kept his job, even after the humiliation of soliciting homo blowjobs in public!
Who the fuck even knew that was a "signal" unless you already knew it?
But op ain't no Senator's son, he wasn't born with the silver spoon in his mouth.
Sorry op, get a lawyer to make it go away. That's how it's done. /x/ has a good thread on how justice is a meme. Learn more there.

By getting a bike. Or you could just enjoy the sounds around you ffs. I'll never understand why people always have to have shitty music being pumped into themselves continuously.

Answer this truly, could you have lasted more days than this man? In the same location, same state, with the same supplies, could you have lived indefinitely off the land? What would you have done differently than he? Would you have stopped at the bus too? Would you have kept going?
The issue with that is I wouldn't do it like him. He is a total retard.
The question is akin to asking someone with no-to-limited flight experience if they could have done a better job landing a plane than some aviation fuck up. I probably couldn't do much worse than Mccandless, but I probably wouldn't do very well either. That's because I haven't done anything to learn survival techniques in Alaska because it's a situation I'm not going to put myself in.
To answer you're question, I would have stopped well before finding the bus. In fact, I'd have stopped before double majoring in the liberal arts.
Poor dumb bastard looks like a god damned skeleton in that picture.
I would have done better IF I decided to do that. But I won't decide to do it. And the only reason I would do better is because I would save up money and make extensive preparations for such a journey.

Got a Staffordshire Terrier mix from a local pet adoption the other day but I can't pick him up till he is fixed.
Will mainly be at a nice big house, but my intention is to take him outdoors on hikes and on trips to a family cabin.
Anyone else have a staffy? How do they do outdoors?
Any tips for taking a pet outdoors?

dogs that are muscular and dense tire / overheat / gas out more quickly so you shouldn't make him run a lot. long walks should be fine if not in intense heat. since dogs can't sweat and mostly lose heat panting, if very hot you might wet his fur and give him water regularly.
also beware of gunfags they will fill justified shooting your big scary dog if it looks at them.

Greatest /out/ist ever or common bogan?
>>631553
Ausfag here.
Even I think he was a common bogan.
>>631553
he's not much of an /out/ist either way. possibly an /an/(whateverthefucktheycallthemselves).
mostly he was /tv/ though. he was a showman and a personality. his enthusiasm and passion for animals and nature was admirable, and he did the most good with his talents anyone ever could. he was a good man and doesn't deserve to be made fun of.
Hey /out/ I took a shit the other day in the woods, and it was very awkward. Do yall have any positions to optimize the process?
>>631444
Find a fallen tree, let your ass hang off one side, makes it easy enough. Also, learn to squat, it is healthier for your intestines.
>>631444
Squat over the nearest geocache.
Hahaha, when I shit I nearly went on my hiking boots, lol one of the guys tried to shit in hay and his hands fell thru and got hay up his asshole
Hey /out/, found this while innawoods yesterday. Thought you guys might enjoy it. Took everything I had not to kick it down
damn phone posts sideways
>>631153
I find that if you look at the tiny thumbnail when choosing a pic you can see if it's sideways, sometimes. Then I go into the photo and turn it around. Or you can always take the pic in sideways mode.

>sideways mode.
I can't remember what they call it. Landscape?

>>629360

>>629360
Four wool shirts and a wool jackets should keep you just fine.
And fleece pants and underwear.
