I'll bite

When I was 15, after a childhood of being exposed to shit that ruined my trust of people, my girlfriend at the time, cheated on me with 12 guys varying in race and age, and she tried to coax me into suicide. Later that week, I went into the national forest by my house and decided I'd pack some stuff and go out, to die. I told my dad I was going for a day hike, and would be back in the evening. Then I left, halfway through though a pack of coyotes on the side I was going towards started following me and pushed me back. I ran and got lost, and for 18 hours, dragged myself on a gravel road until I got to a church. I borrowed the phone, drank lots of water, and called my father. An hour later he was there, and held me in a hug I knew was genuine, he told me how proud he was that I made it back.
That summer I got really involved in the outdoors, as I already loved it as a kid. Then I found you beautiful fuckers. I remeber coming out of interest and gojng to a mjsic thread where I found Tervahäät and my longtime favorite, Of Monsters and Men. I was introduced to a new form of the outdoors, and contributed $70 of my money to the 2015 /out/ secret santa. Bought a pulp fiction poster, gloves, a pipe, and some supposedly really good coffee. It felt amazing, got an MRE and a Zipoo too. Since then 4chan was my mentor in life. I loved you all, from /f/, /s/, /out/, /g/, and my beloved /k/.
Since the time I tried to kill myself I've become an avid outdoorsmen, did a summer volunteer job for the national forest service, did some firewatch, and have 23 solo overnight hikes under my belt, mountaineering, cleaning up trash left by others, helping keeping trails jn good conditon, teaching folks all the helpful stuff I know, and becoming the best I can be.

Tl:dr; Baww post about me trying to die and going to a chinese cartoon website when I was 14 saved me. I turned 18 last august, am going to UW next fall, and am going to try out for MARSOC.
Thank you.

Exposure to chemical agents like CS gas, punching you in the stomach, waterboarding (this was before such a term existed. They would basically shove a water bottle down your throat and spray you with a garden hose), blindfolding you and screaming in your ears for hours, making you dance with your arms up for hours to the tune of metallica & guns and roses; if you lowered your arms you got a lash with a leather belt... Yeah all that shit sucked.

>>874810
Doing it with a bunch of friends INFINITELY helps. When you're trading MRE goodies and telling fart jokes you forget about the biter cold. Embrace the suck. The first day they literally dropped us off in the rocky mountains with nothing but a bayonet and a pack of matches, between about 40 men, said "see you in a week" and drove off. Oh and at night they would occasionally launch attack with blank weapons that we had to escape and evade from. Fun shit.

I was never popular in the military, mostly because I was there for self betterment, and the rest was nationalistic hicks who wanted to learn how to kill middle eastern people. We were all volunteers.

So having 20 men around you who got along fine, but despised you for having some different mindset and political opinion, just enhanced the suck.

Once when I was six my dad took me to an entry level mud-hole of a lake to go fishing on the shore. I don't remember us catching anything, because it wasn't the highlight of the trip.

Left on a boulder while my Dad left back to the truck to get more poles and tackle, I sat and looked around, pretty unimpressed with the view. Dried shrubs, a muddy shore, thorns and thistles stuck to my socks. Though suddenly I heard a rustle of grass underneath the boulder I was sitting on. My eyes widened to slightly horrifying but magnificent sight of a snake that clearly beat me in length. Black and White stripes slowly glided along the the pebbled ground as drove my eyes up along it's length to it's head. Just a mean look, with a curved brow, and yellow reptilian eyes. Being only six, snakes were only refereed to me as being green or brown; but black and white?

I screamed and panicked, telling my Dad to hurry down to me and he too jumped at the sight of the creature, mentioning it's length was close to six feet. The snake however, payed no attention to my Dad, and probably didn't even noticed me, nor did it need too. He was the Kingsnake of this lake, the one spectacle that made me appreciate the mud-hole lake a little more.

California Kingsnakes are badasses.

Yeah I know it man. I spend half my life in Australia and half in New England USA. In NE we get 4 extreme seasons and it's great, but honestly it's pretty sweet to retreat to Aus for a couple years at a time too. Between the two it's really the best of both worlds. Pic is my camping spot here in New England throughout the seasons. It's neat.

Alright. Have some feels.

I was a scout. I'm 23 now, 24 this month, and I got my eagle at 18. During my time in Scouts I made some fantastic memories. Most of the other Scouts in my troop were similar to me though we were all different ages. It was a smaller troop, only around 14 guys, and I don't think I'd want it to be any other way. I remember spending hours talking about vidya and LotR and Star Wars and Halo on our camping/canoeing/backpacking expiditions and It was always a good time.

My most memorable backpacking trip was one where we hit up a part of the Appilachian Trail known as Bartram Trail. It was a 20 mile trip and it sticks with me to this day. Well, a few months back one of my old fellow Scouts died of a heroine overdose. We weren't very close, but it just makes me sad. Just like all my scouting friends, we were all friends through scouting and didn't really interact much outside of it. When I remember him, I remember talking about Halo 2 and him making jokes about how all the forunners actually did was make boxes move to random points and conveyer belts that led to nowhere. It made me realize how much I missed the comradery that we all used to have. The conversations, the campfires, the stories, and the memories. That week-long trip we spent canoeing down the river and camping on the banks. The freezing fucking water in the springs for swimming merit badge. The old ass movies like Sargent York our Scoutmaster made us watch on movie night. The strong winds that made it difficult to set up camp between two mountain peaks. Gathering around an apple pie a fellow scout kept on top of his pack dusing a long hike. The rainy nights and waking up at 5:00 am to huddle by the campfire in the dark. Lashing together logs to make towers and climbing them. Those fucking amazing games of capture the flag. It was a good time to be a scout. And I miss my fellow scout and friend.

Don't worry buddy, I'm just now coming to terms with having a serious relationship. A few, but genuine relationships are better than lots of casual stuff. Be bold, and practice conversation, find a sense of humor that works for you, and be the best you that you can be. Life cant come to you, you have to come to life, and you'll do amazing.
I love you fellow anon, stay strong.

Boy Scouts is for kids and you age out at 18. If you're in a good troop though you'll have people sticking around to help as adult leaders. If you're in a god tier troop, your troop will have a venture crew you can join. Venturing goes to 21 and by then you're probably be ready to move on in life.

Not sure. She never really made it clear. It was along the lines of her not being 100% sure I was the one she wanted to be with. We hit a rough patch and I think it was a sign for her that it wasn't working out.
I don't mean to get all sappy here, but I loved her so much. It didn't take her very long though to find someone else to start dating again. The day I found that out just added insult to injury during my time of trouble.

well, didn't want to make any implications so i asked outright, but i was going to ask if she thought she can do better, and it seems she did, as is typically the case.

on the upside i guess at least she broke up with you instead of cheating on you before breaking up, but she probably cheated too, in all honestly.

i guess the real up side is that she's out of your life.
>>
>>877880
Well, I guess that is a part of it. There's an extensive background behind our relationship so to outright say that was why she left would only be half true. In no way am I defending her, there's just a lot of backstory. My original story is a tldr of what occurred within a year's time frame.

But like you said, maybe it was for the best that she left. It was just such shitty timing

My world view may not be a great world view, but it is not skewed. My worldview came about after years and years of living around many different types of people. Black culture however does NOT mix with white culture. It never has and never will.

Black culture is all about fortifying an image of glamour. They think that this involves treating women like garbage and white women like trophies. I have heard countless times of black men bragging about corrupting white girls and pissing off their fathers because they feel as if they are beating the white man. If this sounds horrible and racist, well....I'm sorry but black men are horrible and racist people. Talk to a black girl and they will tell you what it is is like and you will know why every race prefers white men. White women are the only ones who seek this self-flagellation by dating niggers.
I hate niggers and I will always hate niggers until their culture out-of-the-blue decides to stop holding sin as a standard to strive for.

I don't know if this will make you feel any better, but sometimes things happen that are out of your control. I wasn't there so I don't know the decisions you made, or the exact conditions, but it seems like it was a tragic accident. There are much, much worse ways to accidentally go than to fall off a mountain in the dark. It's infinitely better than a long cancer battle or Alzheimer's.

It'll hurt for a long time though. All I can say is, at some point you need to go out again, and to remember what was best about it.

I don't know if this will help, but I have a similar story. I don't feel like greentexting because it was too emotionally strong, so you anons have to suffer through paragraphs.

A few years ago when I was doing surveys in the middle of nowhere, one guy on the crew killed himself.

One night it was storming but we'd lucked into a roof over our heads and internet access and as I walked out from checking my email in the office he walked in. I was the last person to see him alive. He got a breakup email from his girlfriend, went out to the kitchen and got drunk, and then took a rope and hung himself from the rafters. We found him the next morning. I've always wondered if there was anything I could have said to him other then the simple "Good night" that I did say.

The storm that night washed out the road above us, so after we called in what happened, no one was able to get to us for three days. There was an outbuilding nearby that was secure enough to not have mice and that bigger wildlife couldn't break into, so we put him there while we waited. No one felt like talking for most of that time. Several people on the crew quit and left once they could. No one that was left wanted to broach the subject of it.

Eventually his family came out to see us. They wanted us to know that it wasn't our fault and we had a memorial service with candles and a fire. We were better after that, but we struggled until the season was done, and I still question it.

My world view may not be a great world view, but it is not skewed. My worldview came about after years and years of living around many different types of people. White culture however does NOT mix with any culture. It never has and never will.

White culture is all about fortifying an image of glamour. They think that this involves treating women like garbage and Non-white women like trophies. I have heard countless times of White men bragging about corrupting little foriegn girls and pissing off their fathers because they feel as if they are beating the black man. If this sounds horrible and racist, well....I'm sorry but white men are horrible and racist people. Talk to a white girl and they will tell you what it is is like and you will know why every race prefers non-white (and know why whites are going extinct in the near future) men. Black women are the only ones who seek this self-flagellation by dating crackers.
I hate crackers and I will always hate crackers until their culture out-of-the-blue decides to stop holding sin as a standard to strive for. (indian genocide, jewish genocide, black slavery, opium trade)

White people are blood thirsty mongrols

I know that feel bro. My dad lived away in New Zealand after my parents separated following the death of my brother. My mum always used to tell me stories about him in the military, then salvage and paua diving, sailing, hiking and bringing beat-up vehicles back to life. I never really got the chance to know him, I joined the ADF out of school and was fairly consumed in it all when I found out he only had a few weeks left due to an aggressive cancer.

All I really have left are the stories of Homeric proportions of him. Massive sharks, stuck on a mountain in a snowstorm, living on a boat as a family for 2 years before I was born. It initially didn't hit me as hard as you would have thought but my life was a slow crash and burn after that point. 2.5 years later and I'm still picking up the pieces.

Have my NZ passport and citizenship application in the works now, really keen to explore the fiordland.

Homeless thread attracts the wrong attention with its name when, truly, it's the nomad thread. We need more genuine travelers in there. That said, Imo having a cash stash defeats the purpose of the lifestyle. Dirty broke, beautiful and free is accessible RIGHT NOW. You just ditch your stuff and go, take advantage of the world around you and your freedom, no purchase necessary.

And don't put up with mean whores just for companionship. If they turn out to be mean, shame them and post puctures! Die cunts.

Yeah the mic is kill. I cleaned the contact pins and it seemed to help but the problem is intermittent at best, so I can't trust it out inna field. It had been packed in silica gel for several weeks so it can't be moisture either, guess after a couple years of being out in the elements the capsule is finally fried.

BUT i replaced them with nicer mics! The last pair was quite good but these new ones are much better, about 10dB less noise and better overall response. They are sensitive to humidity though so I gotta be careful with them '~'

Here's a recording with them though, they're so nice and clear. Just a plane going by sort of far away. (also it was a very windy so all the "sssssshhhhh" you're hearing isn't mic noise, it's the wind in the leaves).

Ohhh that -10 and -20 pads are sweet! I take you using omni capsules with your setup? Thats why you use your sponge rig to block bleed? Gonna have a listen now to your recording now.

I would recommend getting anti static bags for your mics and a grounder bracelet when you out and about again. I started using them and you wont believe the amount of static you can build up especially in tents and other out gear type of synthetic materials. I have a strong suspicion that might have spiked your mic. You remember any static pricks whilst setting up last time you recorded?

the mics that died had been in storage and I hooked them up here at home, so not likely. The stuff stays packed away in foam inside plastic cases so it doesn't get staticky. certainly didn't remember any static sparks.

the mics, cables, power, etc definitely aren't stored "loose" in fabric by any means.

and yeah I almost always use them in omni mode with the Jecklin disk. sometimes i toss the cardioid caps on if i have a good reason, or record ORTF or something. the last (now malfunctioning) set of mics had a very exaggerated low end (in omni mode) and no filters, so I always had to record low, filter the low end out later, and then normalize. it usually worked well but could end up being a little noisy. also with no filters on those mics any deep rumble (thunder, etc) would clip the audio really quickly (even down at like 5Hz or 10Hz). these new mics have about 10dB less noise and don't have the crazy low frequency response, plus they have filters and pads, so it's much more fun.

now, if i wanted to hear any very distant rumbling I would try the old mics because they're so sensitive in the low end, but really any natural/tranparent recording would be with the new mics.

Must just be old souls then RIP. You can always use your remaining mic for MONO/LFE source if I where you. Especially if it give you more low's.

You have a good procedures for recording still haven't listened to track go have listen tomorrow.

Transparent is good friend what mics did you get? I want to buy a Senheisser MKH50 next year but it's gonna hurt.

Got allot a gear but always need more stuff...

Fuck m8 the MKH mics are the best! I would kill for a pair of omni and cardiod caps but the expense is off the hook... so it'll be awhile.

And yeah those old mics have spent a couple years out in the elements getting ambient recordings and they were cheep (MXL 603s) so I'm ok with their demise. I'm still keeping them of course.

The new mics are the Studio Projects C4 matched pair. It's as much as I can spend on "outdoors" mics that are apt to get damaged eventually. However they're even more sensitive to yumidity than the others it seems, so I'll have to be careful with them. They dry-out quick though and people aren't reporting any lingering problems.

I also really want a decent recorder with decent preamps. Looking at the Zoom F4 or maybe the Tascam DR-70D. Right now I'm using a handheld Tascam recorder with external preamps. The results are great but it makes the setup more complicated.

>mics>phantom power>external preamps>recorder

What recorder do you use?

ALSO that recording is just a test the other day when it was windy and a plane flew over. It's too cold now to catch any real wildlife but I might try for coyotes or something.

I got two MKH 416's and I love them. Got them for dirt cheap second hand. Got 2 for the price of one basically. MKH50 2nd hand are rare especially at a good deal.

Post me a recording with your new ones would like to hear a raw mono track. Will pull it into Cubase this side.

I'm a big fan of the recorder mixer/preamp combo because of the line level output into the recorder. This gives you way more headroom. I owned a H4n(till car drove over it...long story) and currently have a H6 for stereo atmos recordings. I still find these recorders a bit lacking as stand alone units especially at mic level input signals.

Do you use XLR to XLR or XLR to 1/4inch Jack unbalanced from preamp to your recorder?

F4 looks dam good! I have buyers remorse because I bought H6 just before the F4 launched. Would still use external preamp with it though.

Pic related is my main setup doing a studio shoot Recorder is SD633.

Oooh Sound Devices! I would love one someday. As for my preamps into the Tascam DR-40, I use Fetheads with are inline phantom powered XLR>XLR preamps. They give me about 22dB of clean gain so I barely have to use any gain on the Tascam at all. It's as good as it gets until I can get the F4. The Fetheads are great because they're designed for dynamic/ribbon mics and only need phantom, so they have many uses which justified me buying them.

I don't have any good/raw recordings with the new mics except what I posted above, it's almost winter so there's no wildlife to record so I haven't really gotten/kept any recordings. Also just today I packed them up and shipped them back for an exchange because one of the hypercardioid capsules rumbles like a mofo. It might be a week or something before I get the replacement set. Come Jan I'll be in Aus recording the rain forests and shit!

I had just got fired from my 3rd job in a year (wasn't properly trained, rushed us all to the jobsite, and on this particular day safety checks weren't done for 2nd shift so three of us got canned on the spot) and this was my drive home. Just signed a 1yr lease for a new house near the field with my gf and 2yr old son. We'd only been there two weeks and then this. So it was a weird shitty drive. The truck ended-up getting repossessed btw.

Looking at the photo I felt a sense of longing. I'm sorry things have been so difficult for you. It's been a difficult year for me as well though admittedly I haven't suffered as many pitfalls. That scene gives me /out/ feels though.

The everything's fucked so I'm just going to slow down and take some time to not think about anything and maybe grab a beer and a cigarette and enjoy the sky and the cold air.

sounds like a good idea. not enough people pause to think and enjoy the little things. actually, a lot of people don't even seem capable. most of my friends haven't appreciated a sunset or autumn foliage or wildflowers, etc etc in years it seems. i do that shit every day. keep on keepin' on anon
