I was thinking of moving to Indiana or Kentucky, what are the opportunities four outdoorsmanship in these areas?
>Kentucky
>>629507
>four
Depends. Kentucky is beautiful. Anywhere in the Appalachians is beautiful. Kentucky also has a lot of well priced land. It's one place I've been considering moving.
I think it's potassium defiecncy but not for sure.
I know there's plenty of greemthumbs /out / there
>>629440
Fuck, *greenthumbs
>>629440
Looks like it is. Very common on the later stages if you're growing in soil.
Would need some details. What breed? Age? Height? Is the petiole f the leaf dark/reddish?
I'm sure you've seen pic related, though it's not very helpful since the colors are shit.
You think that you are alone in the woods, but you're not. I'm out there, watching you.
>>629414
I do this too.
You're hiking down a path and you see an able bodied adult human male walking towards you. The path is very narrow and only one person can path through. You have a concealed loaded gun. What do you do?
>>629264
Magdump?
>>629265
You magdump the hiker but now you have alerted a pack of wolves in the bushes and lost all possible element of surprise on them, they are going to attack you and your girlfriend, what do you do?
>>629269
wake up
Snagged this nice sunrise the other day outside Boston. Post your best sunrise/sunset pics!
North or south? Is this Duxbury?
Also idunno if this counts. It's not good because I did anything well, it's good because it was quite the weather.
>>629196
Believe it or not this is in Boston. Its at the Bell Isle Marsh reservation right behind Logan.
Nice time lapse btw those cloud formations are amazing

I love to Fish and you?

As a child I loved it!<3 You?
Looking for a versatile jacket for winter. I'd like something that I can wear at 40 degrees and be comfy, but able to layer and scale my comfort down to the single digits or lower.
I want something that is durable outdoors without making me look like an old Vietnam vet in some milsurp gear.
Any suggestions?
>>629108
What's your budget range?
>>629143
The cheaper the better, as I appreciate value. Less than $200 is good, an option under $100 would be a must buy for me.
>>629143
Be careful how you answer this.
General /out/ appreciation thread.
What are your favorite /out/ moments, activities, experiences?
>live in TN
>have about 26 acres of woodland, ponds, streams
>set up a fire next to one of the ponds, catch catfish, and cook them on the spot
the sound of sizzlin' fish and a good fire are two of my favorite things in the world

>What are your favorite /out/ moments, activities, experiences
Fucking my qt ex-fuckbuddy in the riverbank.
>kissing her with the water on our waist level and then procede to have sex in that rough sand
Fuck, even though she had an huge crush on me and I didn't feel the same way, I miss those moments.

This sounds amazing

What is that rifle? Is that a Sig? Are you Swiss?

Yes, sig 550 rifle
Like this?
So, I've noticed a common denominator among many video game heroes. Their shoes never seem to wear out; lava rock jumping, river wading, ocean swimming, ship sailing, and dragon slaying notwithstanding. Their boots are always doing their job, and not getting those pesky rips, or anything like that.
Now, I know this is all from a fantasy setting, but I want to know if such a make of boots exist. And if so, are they available for purchase?
Thoughts, /out/?
And just to clarify, I'm talking like, adventure quality boots. Foot armor you can wear on the daily and do just about anything in them, from climbing fences, to hiking up mountains, to running around in the woods, to hunting wild boar with a spear.

you are a retard
go outside.
Wow the basement must be a magical place
Morning, sc/out/s.
I'm planning a sort of national parks tour for the summer, where I'll be dispersed camping my lonesome way east to west across the States.
I'll be in bear and cougar and wolf territory, for the first real time ever (never encountered a grey wolf in Michigan)
So I was curious about defense, and how to properly protect myself.
Is avoidance the way to go? running into dangerous wildlife seems like something that can just happen, despite precautions.
I do own and would probably be taking my bolt .22, for small game and the like, but I dont think Ill be able to work da bolt and put down a brown bear if it really comes to it.
So I was thinking of getting a backpacking rifle, possibly the Kel Tec sub2000.
What are the laws pertaining to carrying rifles across state lines and into forests? Or, where can I find the answers to these questions?
Any advice welcomed
>>628758
You can carry rifles in all the national parks and I would highly advise. Wolves are becoming much more of a problem but not nearly as bad as mountain lions and bears.
So yes bring a rifle and maybe a backup pistol if you get stuck cornered in a tree or middle of the night. Practice shooting moving targets because these animals are very fast.
>>628772
Thanks, Anon.
Bump.
>>628758
Take a can of bear spray, it works on wolves for sure.
How does this patch signify geopooping?
It just looks like a geocatching patch.
What am I missing?
it's a reference to the original geo cache shitter thread.
the color implies biological contents, harmless contents is a joke that people put on their grocache boxes AFTER they shit in them... the geared out hiker signifies a sc/out/ who has been roaming all day and happened to come across a geocache, in which he shits in.
it's meant to be a subtle patch, and it does a good job. you'd only get it if you were in the first few geoshitter threads, knew the color code for biological material, or understood the significance of "harmless contents" within the grocache community. look up "poop or shit in geocache" on YouTube, it will become more clear.
>>628757
>you'd only get it if you were in the first few geoshitter thread
I was in all of those threads, as I recall this was a joke by ONE anon that kinda fell flat on its face.
Since no one else had made a geoshitter patch, the patch guy went with this one.
It is too obscure.
>>628738
Patch Anon here. I wanted to keep it low key. The only Mod I have though about for this patch is to make it the shape of a turd. Matching something like this.
Moving to Canada from UK in the new year, a large factor is better /out/.
But also either furthering or changing career.
Anyone packed up their lives and just went somewhere they thought was better?
Any tips on settling in to Canada and making /out/ buddies? Wife enjoys camping, but have to go easier when out with her.
>>628691
Which province do you plan to go?
>>628802
Bc first... Vancouver for the film work, but planning to travel about.
>>628691
Your best bet to find /out/ friends is rural areas, there are plenty of them. Most people are pretty friendly, just strike up conversation when you find an area you wanna camp. Eventually you'll find someone with interest. Find some parties/bars and just mingle is what I'd recommend. For getting used to Canada, get used to the weather. It gets very cold in deep winter, BC is milder than where I am from but your still going to need a good winter jacket. I'd recommend checking out some snowboard/ski shops, atmosphere or MEC.

What's the most dangerous situation you've ever been in while /out/? Can be anything from mountaineering to encountering bears or simply finding yourself lost...
I'm sure some of you guys have some good ones.
Let's make this entertaining. Real stories only please!

>Be skiing guide for blind people from time to time
>On top of a rather steep blue slope
>On our back, a rather steep black slope, that was basically a rocky cliff
>Nobody there. I wonder why.
>Suddenly a strong as fuck blizzard hits us. Freezing + snow + fog + really strong wind
>For every step forwards we go two steps back
>My blind buddy can't really perceive the inminent danger of being pushed backwrds into the cliff
>He's my responsibility, and I'm already having trouble not falling myself
>Ohfuckohfuckohfuck
>He falls off 1 meter from the edge.
>I tell him to lay low and crawl slowly but surely in my direction against the freezing wind, even with the skis on
>We manage to make it. We advanced 30 meters in 10 minutes due to the strong wind
In the end nothing happened, but we had to go down the blue slope me withoug seeing 2 meters in front of me. In this case the wind was on our favor, because it was so strong we could literally ski straight down without even turning and still go down slow.
Of course we laughed about it afterwards, and I told him how close to disaster we where.
Good times

I spend the winter begging my friends to go winter cambin but I can never really get them to go. Once we went in April when it was still icey and crispy but it wasn't deep winter. We do however get drunk and wander around the train tracks and industrial areas, which is incredibly fun, and I always take pics.
Last winter was so snowy I got bored taking cold bleak snow pics so I went out and took a shot not of snow, but of "snowing". It was kinda neat, maybe not cozy idk.
