Anyone know good places to go camping in Georgia? I don't want any bullshit RV places where they have showers and vending machines, I want a real outdoors experience

Look on google maps for big areas shaded green. Bonus points if it says "National Forest" so you can bring guns. Now look for little blue marks inside the green areas that say things like "Lake" or "River."
Now you're set. Just go to those places.

many photos of grizzlies show no hump. maybe it's more about the posture.

or maybe bears that dig a lot develop a large hump while bears that don't dig not.

I was on a hike lately. Had a strange thing happened, there was this couple, which kinda ignored, didn't say hi, just walked past in awkward silence, staring like I said smth out of this world. What kind of people go out and still stay assholes like that? You might say, oh, you look weird etc etc, not really. I was so glad I left my pc and hit this oldschool tough hike into mountains for three weeks, like I did back in times. There was this beautiful young jewish couple, we've been chatting for about an hour like we were friends since ages, but those guys kinda made me think. The rest of the time I was totally ignoring everyone I met. I watched them smiling to me, trying to start a chat, but was giving them cold stare, and watched their faces changing with dissapointment, I didn't give a fuck, even they were super nice and friendly. I really got that feeling, that when smth bad is done, it never fades away, it just passes over and over again from one to another. This whole thing wasn't that much about me, it was jut sad to realize that for some reason people prefer to be assholes, even in a beautifull wild place in the middle of nowhere. I started solo hiking sinse 15 and always thought there was some connection between same minded people going out, very friendly and open, probably those last few years I haven't been out things have changed.

Okay, /out/, I need some advice and to be called an idiot if need be.
I'm from Southern Ontario and have always wanted to see "the mountains". Southern Ontario is the flattest piece of land you'll ever see, the biggest hill in my area is literally an old garbage dump that was covered over.
So I've been planning a long camping/road trip out West to see the Rockies and I'd like to try my hand at dispersed camping (or off-site, wilderness, backcountry camping, whatever you want to call it). I've camped quite a few times before in Northern-ish Michigan (think centre of the mitten) so am not completely new and I'm not an out of shape fatty so I think I can handle it just fine physically. However, I am kinda scared shitless of bears, especially after reading about them. The idea of them entering my camp after night while I'm sleeping is particularly terrifying.
The place I had in mind to spend at least the first few days of my trip was Custer Gallatin Forest in Montana and apparently this area has both Grizzly and Black bears. Should I consider a different spot? Do you have any other, less bear prone suggestions that would still let me satiate my mountain boner? Or am I making too big a deal of it and will be okay if I follow the general bear advice and carry bear spray?
tl;dr first time dispersed camping, worried about bears, suggestions?

This is 150yr old stone culvert under the train tracks. Apparently my friend's grandfather used to go down here with his dad (friend's great grandfather) when he was a kid and he'd crawl through for fun. Heh, olde New England.
If you follow it downstream through the woods it cuts a surprisingly deep canyon (about 10' at most) on its way down to the river. As kids we'd hang around around in there in summer when it was dried-up and concealed by overgrowth, as we got older we started having Test Of Manhood competitions by climbing down into it in the middle of winter and seeing who could sit in the icy rapids the longest without going into a coma or being swept down into the river :3

Wasn't one in the Catalog and I had a question
I've got a decent hammock, tested it out when I was in Arapho and it was so damn relaxing. I want to take it with me and hammock camp for the first time this winter. I have a zero-degree rated bag, and plan on sleeping with my coat and all that on of course, so if I don't have an underquilt, would that work out just fine? I imagine a suitable setup would be
>Tarp (Also in the market for a good tarp, any suggestions?)
>Clothes
>Coat
>Mylar blanket
>Sleeping Bag
>Hammock

In winter, no. It's not enough. You'll need at least a mat under you.
>>
>>1032968
> and plan on sleeping with my coat and all that on of course, so if I don't have an underquilt, would that work out just fine?
no. any insulation compressed underneath your weight will be compromised. buy a ccf pad for all of 5 bucks and be done with it.
>mylar blanket
not effective in this application, and certainly not as a regular use item. moisture barrier also.
>>
>>1032968
You will never be as cold in all your life if you try winter hammock camping with a sleeping bag.
Insulation under you is absolutely 100% needed in a hammock. Sleeping bags only inslute the top of you. When you lay on the sleeping bag, your weight compresses the insulation. Insulation only works when it traps air, laying on it prevents that since your weight compresses the space where the air should have been trapped.
It's why underquilts exist.
You can also use a pad in a hammock, but they slide around alot, and aren't the easiest to stay on top of if you move around at all.
If you're winter camping you'll want a large tarp that can block most all of the wind. Or use a hammock sock with a smaller tarp.
Underground quilts has a tarp sale going on now. They're great tarps.
Best packs for a several day and night trip.

Depends what weather/gear you need. The most common advice is to get all the other gear first, and then buy something that fits it all.
Do you already know what size backpack you need?
Pic related is the backpack I'm currently eyeing
>>
I have an older Osprey Aether 70 (from 2009) that I've been using for years and am happy with.
It does have a lot of superflous straps and pockets that I never use though, and the weight feels too low (I prefer to feel the weight up on my back instead of down by my ass).
Padding is great and no pressure points or anything, very adaptable to different trips/purposes.
Hey /outties im going camping 10 days at the Rainbow Gathering in Oregon, anyone else going? any gear suggestions for extended stay?
if you havent heard of the gathering its like burning man but poor - everything is barter or free, no dollar bills and alcohol is discouraged.
my plan currently is :
> hammock about 12 feet up tree
> med kit
>knife, trench shovel
>dried food and oats
>lots of socks
>15 grams of dank nugs

So I caught this guy the other day. First Catfish of the summer for me. He's pretty decent size.
But I don't know what species this is. I know he's either a blue or a channel. But I didn't bother to check the anal fin when I caught him. And I can't see it very well in pic related. Anyone know what he might be?
Also, he had this strange cotton type substance on his skin. It looked like his flesh turned to cotton in some places. (On his head and a little on his tail), does anyone know what was wrong with him? Fungus? Idk. halp /out/

I know fuck all about fishing. Literally fucking nothing. I've done it once.
But a friend invited me and she gave me gave me a cheap 3m rod and a sabiki set and we went to the sea this weekend. We caught a few and I had a lot of fun just catching little fishies because I never did it before.
My main question is: if I'm trying sabiki fishing What do I need to be doing? I was casting like 10m from the dock, waiting 5 or ten minutes until bites and then reeling in. My friend was getting lots of bites and and took home a lot more, but we used the same bait. When I cast my bait for sabiki what do I need to do? We're both total novices. What should I do to make sure I do well?

Oh, yeah. I consult the other fucking thread for people new to fishing using sabiki.

I want to start climbing mountains, staring with simple trails on relatively small mountains and working my way up.
My first destination is Whistlers Mountain in Jasper, Canada, about four hours away.
Are there any things that a first timer should know? I've got good physical stamina and I hike regularly, but I've never tacked something with so much verticality.
As well, I've got a friend who wants to come with me, but hes in poor physical health and I'm not sure if he could do it. Would it be a bad decision to bring him with me?
Is scaling a mountain alone a bad idea?
Anyway, /mountain climbing general/
How many mountaineers are on this board?

Drink water.
Make a plan, but your goal at the end of the day is making it home safely.
The mountain will be there tomorrow.
Elevation can kick your ass. HAPE/HACE are not things to fuck around with. Listen to your body.
Drink more water.
