>A greater proportion of blacks are poor, and thus unable to afford taking time off from work, or able to travel long enough to spend significant amounts of time camping. Those blacks who are successful generally put a lot of time into their work, and may consider camping not worth the amount of effort it takes as a recreational activity
>There are fewer black people in North America than whites and the hispanics
>Blacks outside Dixie in the USA tend to live in urban areas, and urban dwellers are just unfamiliar/averse to camping
>Exclusion of blacks from children's oriented outdoor groups such as the boyscouts for a relatively long time prevented encouragement of an appreciation of the outdoors
>There are blacks who go out, you just don't notice them/don't got to the same places as them, and there are relatively few who do go camping due to aforementioned reasons
Lots of reasons why. It mainly just doesn't occur/appeal to them

>and is there a way for me to buy my own?
Yes. With money.

Join a yacht club.
Do a sailing course.
Get a good job and buy a boat or shmoose some old person for theirs.
And most importantly:
Google something for 5 seconds instead of making a thread. You wouldn't have even had to enter a capcha.

Cheeky bump

There are plenty of places and times when hammocks work just fine. You should probably also look into an underquilt or comparable.

With that said, there are also places and times when they are not the best option.

PROS:
>Out of the mud
>Fairly compact

NOT PROS:
>Really cold, so you need to invest in a good sleeping bag
>Not sideways rain proof
>Bugs
>Wetness
>Requires trees to use
>No space for gear, which means your rifle/rods will be out in the rain

Hammocks are handy, mainly for mud. But if you can use a tent then do so. I change between a tent and a hammock. I use it during the winter when the ground is permanently mud.

She makes good knife reviews

I wonder if she's a lesbian like so many other /out/ girls on YouTube.

Pic unrelated.

>>1047105
she looks like the leader of the canadian nazi party. fun fact: the canadian nazi leader is borderline autistic

why are they having to turn back?

not snowmelt but on a similar note... the PCT up here in Washington section J (by Snoqualmie) was covered by snow 5-6 miles in the other day, will be until mid-July or so. Tried an overnight trip yesterday but turned around and went home.

>>1045980
Snowpack got up to 200% in many places here this year. Summer heat is melting an enormous amount of snow and it's making trickles of water in previous years turn into dangerous swift creeks. Normal creeks you could wade through are turning into pic related.

I havent, but bump.

>>1040450
the problem is water and power. if you want either of those things, the little bit of extra cost to build an actual cabin is trivial.

If you want to run A/C on the cheap then get a diesel generator or make one yourself.
Run it on 95% used cooking oil, 5% kerosene.

nooouu i want stay alone. its more about light irony, fun. just a reason for posting stupid shit.

Absolutely works for socks and shirts but not in the way you stated. It just prevents me from feeling sweaty and having clothing stick to me when it's hot and humid out. I don't think it does much for actual temperature as evaporating sweat is how we cool ourselves, if the moisture is wicked away then that evaporation isn't cooling you as much.

It's more about the comfort in the heat and lack of blisters for socks.

I've never used it in long sleeves or layered between things because that's not what I wear when it's hot. But I can tell you from working construction in unfinished houses in the South Carolina summmer, they do keep you considerbly cooler, but that may just be because you don't have shirt stuck to you. they dramatically cut down on sweat, and feels alot nicer and more comfortable when you sweat. Although you will feel more grimy and dirty underneath, but its worth it. And they usually don't tarnish and rag up like normal cotten, and when you take them off and sling them in the hamper they don't stink like a old sweaty tee.
With that said, when I'm /out/ I go for a tee or a button up. I deal with the sweat, and enjoy being warmer at night. But I wouldn't say moister wicking would be a bad idea.
I mean they help, it's comfyer, but it's not a life changer or anything.

It absolutely does. The difference between a plain cotton t and a merino t is night and day in terms of staying cool.

Is it possible to create false geo tags? I've never used them, but understand what you are saying.

Say someone finds your local spot, could you put up images of the area with wrong coordinates #localspot? Maybe if people only have a 10% chance of picking the right coordinates they might stop trying?

Can you explain to a Luddite without a pocket computer how all this works?
And what are they tagging?
They can't be places too hard to get to, and they have to be places that they get reception, no?
Do people get some sort of karma or e-cred for doing this or is it pure attention whoring?

>>1049292
I'd imagine it's a mix of 3 people
1. Attention whores
2. Luddites who don't realize their phone/camera can store geodata which people can pull from an image file
3. People who genuinely think they are helping others by sharing nice places to go enjoy nature

If you are bringing bear spray, then Idk why you don't have a bear can. An oz of prevention (2lbs12oz in this case) is worth a pound of cure.

>the less you buy, the more expensive it gets [per unit]
how long did it take you to figure this out?

>>1048709
Still, I always see poor people out in the country who own their own land. How do they do it?

>>1048769
By not buying 56 acres. If you want to have a garden and a homekill and enough space to shoot shit then 5 acres is plenty.

There's not a pepe smug enough to show the satisfaction I'd have drinking cocoa while watching foriegners die a frosty death outside of the elevator, the privilege of which they paid multiple times more to have.

Literally who cares? It's a proven affordable pack that works, especially with mods.
People that make fun of that pack because it didnt cost $500+ are probably the same people that would make fun of your non-$500 designer shoes.

Don't camp near water. Do camp near the Storr so you can watch the sun rise over Applecross.
You can drink out of any stream.

>>1046890
Thanx m8

I won't actually be going to Skye but will be staying with some friends in Applecross so that'll be chill

>>1046890
>You can drink out of any stream.

if you want giardia

Skye isn't some magical land, there is organic matter, faecal matter, heavy metals, leeched organophosphates etc just like everywhere else dude.

You're golden anywhere north of Ullapool. Awesome coast.

I'd avoid skye desu, it's busy as it is but in July it's JUMPING.

Don't forget your bug net and bug spray.
