Having been with people who lost the car keys in the lake I like it.

I found some glow in the dark zip pull tag on the ground at a camp sit. It's now on my key ring.

Seems like some sort of bedbug/cimicidae.

That looks like a carpet beetle. I occasionally see them on the floor in here.

Dave.

Where are you heading to in OR, matey? I'll be heading out to Portland in about a week or so. Got family out there.

What's the deal with this, anyway? I heard 30,000 people possibly, are they all crunchy sjw types or what? Seems like that many people would just trash the woods, with no infrastructure/organization.

>>1044496
Yeah mostly bearded blue hair types and and crazy eyed dudes ranting about carbon footprints. Steer clear

How does a person even fall on their face?

Huntingfag here, fell down a bank and broke my arm. Probably the worst thing that happened.

Does almost drowning at the beach as an infant count?

lads I'm very inexperienced in hiking and camping but I want to do it a bit more. Live in Essex but prepared to travel

has anyone got any good multi-day routes (ideally 2 days, camping overnight) that I could do as a beginner>

Northumberland here. Just finishing off the last of the wind blow from previous years and squaring away the estate pheasant pens before the birds are delivered in a few weeks. With all the dry weather we've actually been on watering(!) some of our roadside and additional ornamental standards. Watering trees right? In the UK. Fuck my arse.

Anyway, if anyone finds themselves up on the grouse moors soon, be vigilant for the chicks. It looks on point to be one of the first rock solid grouse seasons for a few years with the lack of late snow like we had last year but when you consider every bastard and his mother has a dog that they let run wild and are out walking just for "fitness" that could all change. Same for fires and barbecues, I know we have a lot of folks here who like that kind of thing myself included so I won't go all Saftey Sally but as a personal favour to me, if anybody doing that shit could just be as careful as possible that would be ace. Our countryside is delicate and you guys should give anybody you see acting like an arsehole a good telling off.

I took my girlfriend for her first go at clay shooting this weekend? Anybody else here into country sports or the like?

Bonsai is one of the few times I encourage using seeds. Try foraging pine seeds, they grow fast.

>Bonsai is one of the few times I encourage using seeds.
lol no

OP, how exactly are you doing this? And what species?

Try finding a great branch specimen and use the air-layering technique. You have to get your soil correct though.

Do you have any gardening experience, or are you jumping right into this? Probably overwatering and using dense soil.

>>1049750
Plant them in a big pot. You'll keep them in there for the first 5 years or so. Plant them in the ground before frost. I suggest taking a class. There's a lot to know. How much peat soil to use, when to transplant and how much roots to trim during, twisting off tips in the spring, what buds to keep, plant food, bending what branches, cutting certain exposed roots (secondaries) while leaving others (mains), bark putty, diff gauge wires, diff species require diff shit. Have fun. You may have these for decades.

I normally play a guy from YouTube called Boyce Avenue if I am camping with a group. He does almost entirely covers of pop songs, so most people in the group will be able to sing along to a lot of the songs, without there being trashy pop music actually on. If you like chill guitar with solo and occasionally duet vocals he is awesome.

Where do you live? Books on foraging will depend heavily on where you are. Plants that grow in the midwest will be very different from the southwest, for example. But either way, for foraging, I recommend having more than one guide, as oftentimes, some books will have slightly different (or even occasionally conflicting) information on different plants, so it's good to have more than one source so you can fill in holes in your knowledge. I live in the northern midwest and two that I use are Peterson's Edible Wild Plants: Eastern/Central North America as well as Nature's Garden by Samuel Thayer. The Peterson's guide is nice because it has a lot of entries, but Thayer's book is nice because, despite having less plants in it, it goes very in depth on use and gathering techniques, as well as good foraging practices for each one. However, I assume from your picture that you don't live in the midwest.

As far as shelter building and camp craft, books by Daniel S. Beard are pretty nice, but since they were written in the early 20th century designed for boy scouts, they can be a kind of dated compared to modern outdoorsman practices and cultural attitudes. But there is still some tasty info there, if you can read them discerningly.

I´ll just do as the sticky tells me, and bump from time to time.

What do you want to know specifically? I mean I never hiked that long, my top's 250km but my advice is pack light and take care of your feet. Really, take care of your feet. If you're a former milfag you probably are in decent shape so there's not much to it, at the end of the day is just walking.

>>1051537

I thought that, maybe someone has experience with north german/skandinavian terrain on this board, if there is some wierd stuff I am not used to for example. Maybe someone knows of regions to surely visit or not. Just general stuff really. Maybe also some "be sure to bring x, y and z on your journey cause this is some insider shit everyone who doesn´t visit /out/ forgets all the time.

>>>/asp/ is probably the right board.

Just bought a skateboard last week after not been skating for 15-20 years. Trying to learn ollie and keep balance...

They make it look so easy.

/asp/ was the right board until gook moot sent wwe there from /sp/ instead of to /tv/ and it became /woo/, now it's fucking trash

Unfortunately there is no good board for this, although slap forums aren't bad. If you want to step on the board go for it, the skate community tends to not be very judgemental of beginners as long as you keep out of the way and don't look like an ass (if you wear a bunch of high fashion shit and the board is an accessory, people will shit on you). If you want to catch up on skating right now, try reading jenkem mag or quartersnacks, they're sort of the most current publications. If it's been a long time since you've skated, you probably want a new setup. Plywood doesn't age well. Most people nowadays skate a board between 8.25-8.5". Don't fall for marketing bullshit, the rest of the stuff just get what you find for cheap. Thunder, Indy, Krux, theeve are all good trucks. Always get bones reds, expensive bearings aren't worth. Wheels, get something around 54mm, spitfire and bones are the main companies making popular wheels but you likely won't really have much of a preference as far as wheels go until you need to start sliding to land tricks. Most of all, don't skate above your comfort zone. I see tons of kids skating in traffic when they're not comfortable ollieing up the sidewalk. Sure the pros do it but they do tons of stuff you can't. Start out at a park or quiet street, once you can Ollie up a curb go to your local park. You progress as fast as you can conquer your fear. Most of all, have fun, Ive been skating for 10 years and still love it. One of the guys I skate with it started when he's was 13 and turns 43 next month.

In fairness, this thread devolved into faggots asking why we bring tractors and chainsaws on camping trips. The amount of "Is Hultafors any gud?" Questions was staggering when the main direction before that had been someone running a bar that was miles too big for their saw.

Anyway, north of England reporting.
