Most topics related to the outdoors are fine. Write properly, behave politely, encourage a respectful community, and most importantly, GO OUTSIDE!! post your comfiest out pics and experiences please, I've been quarantined for over two months, I need it. I am a broke student and I will become homeless in around 2 weeks for the rest of the summer.
I was thinking then on doing a thru hike across Norway starting from Oslo area. To keep myself occupied, challenged and mantian some dignity.
I have these 2 weeks to prepare the route and get the equipment.
I need all the info I can gather before I'm homeless. From what equipment to buy (tent, sleeping bag, shoes, how to dry food, maybe a fishing rod, etc), how to plan my route (maybe from Oslo to Bergen? Or from south to North?, resupplies, etc), hear other homeless people experiences and tips.
I need you /out/bros

Feel free to post tobaccos (no weed allowed), pipes, collections, pics of favorite combos for going /out/, pics of what you're doing with your pipe and any questions you might have.
Want to get into smoking pipes without spending too much cash?
Get a Missouri Meerschaum Legend corncob pipe and a pouch of either Prince Albert, Carter Hall or Half and Half tobacco, available at most drugstores.
What you'll need: pipe, tobacco, lighter or matches, pipe cleaners, and either a regular old nail or a pipe tool (combination tamper, scoop, and small pick).
All of these together should run you less than $20.
Having trouble keeping your pipe lit? Fill it with less tobacco and smoke it slower than you think you need to, lightly tamping as needed when the smoke starts thinning out.
If you're still having trouble, try filling your pipe this way:

Talk about fishin Are baitcasters really worth the investment for bass fishing? I’ve used a spinning rod my whole life so I don’t know much Dear /out/, I come to you in my hour of need. I have just removed over 30 slugs from my beans and pepper beds. My crops have been decimated to say the least. How can i prevent these fuckers from attacking again. I grow in a fenced suburb backyard and animals are not an option. Lethal force is authorized.
Pic related its the same species as the slug. What is the farthest you've hiked in one day? >biking in the UK is fun they said
which was your best biking exp? Any tips for catching a fox with a havahart?

must say, it's quite based Post your favourite knots! Anyone else planning on doing the long trail once the shelters reopen on June 15th? I'm probably going to go south bound starting on the 17th so I can still catch some of the snow on the ridges. I just got my new kayak and it’s so awesome been out fishing and I managed to already lose it.
Have looked EVERYWHERE, and i cannot find the right one.
The manufacturer website is sold out of course.
I am at my wits end, the kayak is uncontrollable without it. Any help would be would insanely appreciated
>Pic related is from the website Am I damned to coastal activities forever? Too much bad shit going on at the minute, post your latest /out/ pic and let's have a break from it all Assuming I have nothing in my rucksack to damage my sleeping bag what are the dissadvantages to forgoing my stuff sack? I wish the suburbs didn't replace this What do you make fire with? Has anyone here done this trail? Is it actually fun or is it too scary? What are some /out/ cars? Pic related is my Honda pilot. Pretty tough and reliable, which are what matters when using a car for outdoors Hello, i'm currently in search of infographics for SHTF/Survival/Tips/Tricks and misc things regarding self-sufficiency as well.
Anything goes as long as it's practical knowledge for survival and self-sufficiency
Years ago i used to think prepepers were just good at memeing so i lost my old folder. I'll post what i managed to gather from /pol/ yesterday because i thought you guys might contribute to a large sized collection as well which can be centralized and passed around too Show me some cool sporting arms. Fun guns for /out/ use only. No martial arms. Don't be basic. 
I lived the majority of my life in the Deep South. The most common /out/ activities in that part of the country are either hunting or fishing. Well into adulthood it was rare to have met someone who had never done either. Hiking, however, wasn’t nearly as popular.
I mean there are trails in Alabama, sure. Every knows the 330+ mile Pinhoti Trail. And if you hike in Louisiana you’re going to see some wildlife; it’s guaranteed. But backpacking as someone’s main focus for recreation during their free time is very rare in that part of the country.
A few years ago I moved to Portland for work (InB4 junkie liberal hobos; I know). In the PNW, you can’t throw a rock without hitting a hiking trail. I lived in a city of ~300k people, and the nearest REI was 7 hours away. Now if I want a pair of wool leggings I can say “let’s not go to that REI, let’s go to the good REI.” Really I could forgo them altogether and go to the Icebreaker outlet. The point is there are enough people hiking in this area to support numerous brick and mortar stores.
As such, “hiker” has become somewhat of an identity in this part of the country. It’s similar to “surfer” or “body builder.” Those labels are universally understood, and in this part of the country, the image of a hiker (if not the label) carries a similar meaning.
That’s why people LARP as hikers/outdoorsmen. It’s a West Coast influence where an identity has sprung up around a particular activity that isn’t as prevalent in the rest of the country. Maybe it’s people looking for an identity; who knows? But I’d only seen this attitude online until moving here. And they’re everywhere out here. You’d think with all of the people claiming to hike that the trails would be packed, but just a few miles from the trail head there isn’t anyone around. It’s very odd. I think it’s why so many people drive Subaru’s in Portland; they want to appear outdoorsy. Do any of you do this? How is it? Is astronomy /out/ approved?
I'm looking for some tips on how to navigate the night sky better. I thought it would be fairly easy to find stuff like the Ring Nebula in Lyra or the globular cluster in Hercules, but I see so many stars in my finder that I get confused. What is the superior multi-tool and why is it leatherman? It's that time of year! What have you guys found recently? Pic related might be oysters but I'm not sure. Found one of these fucks on my door frame waiting for me, probably because my dog isn't tasty enough for it, took the fucker and poped him like a pimple.
Now Im afraid there could be more in the house.
Is there a way avoid them without staying away from tall grass and the forest for the next 5 months? My friend wants to do an overnight backpacking trip out to a fishing lake and do mushrooms. Ive never done psychedelics before. What shod I bring and what should I expect? >be me

general discussion of wild plants, Hey guys, first time post here
Thought about putting this in /k/ but immediately decided that that wasn't the place for it.
I'm looking for a recommendations for a wooden longbow upwards of 60 pounds for my hunting trip to Wisconsin this upcoming season, but everything seems a bit suss.
I'm an experienced archer, but even after switching to a recurve for a few years after selling my compound, I still feel like I'm cheating.
Any help? CUT it out edition
There are always multiple threads up about machetes, hatchets, and knives at any given moment. Why not have a general for it? Now we do. This thread is for discussion and advice regarding cutting implements of every kind. Post yours, ask questions about, and discuss various different brands and types of cutlery. A thread for off grid/innawoods long term living.
I've been seriously looking into this for a while now and I'd like any advice.
Basic considerations and common solutions:
>Water
Rain collection and storage
Drill well (expensive)
>Internet
None
Cell signal booster
>Garbage
Reduce, reuse, recycle
Haul it out
Burn it
>Power
Solar
Hydro
Backup petrol generator
>Heat
Wood fireplace or stove
Propane
>Toilet
Compost solids
Urine to grey water dilution
>Socialization
Wife and kids >be me, fat as fuck
>discover that I actually really love hiking
>my mental state feels a lot better, and I enjoy using my body for something other than eating
>can't walk for too long though, because my fat thighs rub together
>even squeezes and rubs the very back of the skin of my ballsack, which is exceptionally unpleasant
>have to take every other day off and just walk like a cowboy with hip dysplasia so that my sore skin can recover
Is there a short term fix to this? I want to walk more every day. I'm trying to lose weight, but it's obviously a long term project. 
Going to be moving soon if this whole end of the world thing starts to get better
I work from home so employment is not an issue, the two places I am looking to move to are either Washington state seattle or tacoma, or move to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
I have lived on the west coast in the desert with nothing but sun my whole life, I love overcast weather and rain and I visit the northwest at least once a year, it would be great to move somewhere with as little sunlight and as much clouds/rain/ thunderstorms as possible so WA seems amazing
HOWEVER
I also LOVE tornadoes, ever since I saw my first one in the distance on a trip out to OKC a few years ago I have been enamored with them, now I don't plan on casing them down like a storm chaser however I would not mind it at all if I could every now and then drive out a few miles to see them in person again at a safe distance, it sounds like absolute heaven however from the looks of things OKC is pretty fucking dumpy and boring with nothing to speak of entertainment or food wise etc, it also seems to e a pretty sunny place
So if there is anyone here who lives in either area and could let me know the major or secret pros and cons to each area I would really appreciate it while I look into making my decision
Seattle is also mad expensive, more than OKC for sure but tacoma is pretty damn cheap and their crackhead problem is a lot less than it used to be Why is it so hard to find a simple stainles steel set of two saucpans, one lid, and one frying pan that all stack? What are your experiences hiking with women? Were they good, bad or neutral? Assuming you knew each other well, do you think hiking, fishing or other outdoor outing would be good for couples? Have you ever [spoiler] had sex [/spoiler] during an /out/ing?
What social, safety and hygenic concerns are important to keep in mind with woman hikers? Share your experiences here. Someone put me out of my fucking misery and recommend a hiking/walking boot without any vibram horseshit. It is the most slippery sole in existence and I've eaten shit just walking on smooth concrete in the rain.
Also boot thread.
Pic related: PU soled shoe with good grip but no longer being produced. Hey /out/!
Noticed quite a few threads going around regarding sailing/boating and topics related, so thought I'd try my hand at a General Thread. If it goes well, we'll try to keep them going throughout the season.
I for one just upgraded from my Catalina 22 to this Cape Dory 25. The full keel and wider beam make for a more stable boat for my usual sailing which is Singlehanding on Lake Erie.
If anyone has any questions about sailing/boat ownership, boat equipment, maintenance, or anything else related to being on the water, I'll check the thread a couple times a day and answer as best I can.
And yes powerboats are welcome. Never took getting an emergency food supply serious until now, I'm new to brands and what foods are best from packets. I'm going to buy some military MRE's because they are cheaper but I'm also looking into the emergency food buckets, the ones I looked at so far is ReadyHour, ReadyWise, and Augason Farms but not sure which one's taste the best or just last longer. I liked the ReadyHour meals better than the others. Anyone have experience with either of these companies? Indecisive at the moment and need some shilling I’m a noob at knife sharpening. Is something like pic related viable? How difficult is it to learn to use a whetstone? Thanks bros. Well my life just got flipped turned upside down so my current plan is to get a mobile home on my sisters property. She has nearly 20 acers out in the country but still close (30 min) to a couple big cities.
I can just pick a spot and go crazy. I know you can buy a giant shed from home depot but by the time you build it out might as well have just gotten a mobile home. Its out in the country so basically no regulations except I cant run a business without a license.
So I will be NEARLY off the grid. I can get electricity and water from her main house easily enough. There's no source of running water to make a turbine and too many trees for solar to be viable unless I wanna cut them all down.
So like I was saying, is it REALLY cheaper to buy some big shed/barn and build it out? I see decent looking new mobile homes start at 30k that's like the price of a nice car. Making this trip at the end of June. Just gona be me and my dog and my car. I plan on camping for 2 - 3 day periods along the way. Never driving more than 6-8 hours. Anyone familiar with the areas around this route? What are some cool spots to check out, explore, and camp at? I'm really looking to do dispersed camping to save some money so I can airbnb in each major city I go through to check that out too. Once I get to Austin, my family are gona fly over at the start of September and we're gona spend a week or so there, so I've just gota make it to Austin in that time frame. Then I'll continue on to the west coast. Climbing General #12

Dear /out/, can you identify what pants and boots link related is wearing? I've asked in the comments but all the spergniggers can do is type "lol she's hawt ;)". If anyone knows the pants or boots please share so I can cop.
Thanks in advance. Anyone going fishing today? With all the craziness of society ramping up and showing no signs of slowing down but rather accelerating I think that there are many like myself who wish to seek self sufficiency / rural retreat.
Ask questions, share advice, experiences in doing so or how you currently plan on going innawoods. what is the bare minimum combo of tools that a swiss army knife should have for it to be practical for (1) self-defense and (2) /out/door survival?

My Salomon xa pro 3Ds are reaching the end of their lives. I’m happy with them so should I get another pair or is there something out there better? I hear the altra lone peak 4.5s have some comfort issues in the heel. What do you guys use. any australian /out/ers? what are your favourite trails/camping spots/beaches etc.? how are you doing in quarantine with campsites/reserves closed? Are you a conservationist or an environmentalist? Looking at cheaper alternatives to bass boats, and I'd like someone with experience to soothe my concerns before I make a decision. Namely, this is about simple aluminum hulls, with a simple motor on the back. Something like picrel. I just have questions. I'm afraid that with a flat john boat I'll get ravaged like a german schoolgirl by wind, but they seem to be cheap and readily available used. Also, can I even launch a boat like this (pic) from the beach?
Also, are these boats good for choppy and windy water? I know a basic aluminum hull should last decades, what should I look for when buying one used? Do I need to max out the power rating? What's the least expensive, but still reliable and safe option, since I'll also need gear, registration, etc. And insurance isn't required in my state, should I bother on something so small and simple? And boater education isnt required but is recommended, should I just do one of the free online prep classes?
Thanks. I need to get some kind of sun hat for sun/rain. Any solid brands? I've never had a hat with "breathable mesh." Does that stuff make any difference? My family is looking to move away from the city for obvious reasons. I am also absolutely tired of living in the city as-well. It's also the worst place to be when any kind of civil conflict erupts.
I've lived in the city all of my life, so I am just now looking into things like gardening, hunting, owning atleast a goat and some chickens, and generally efficiently living as Earth intends.
In your opinions Anons, what are some well-respected resources and possibly advice concerning this lifestyle change? Thanks Anons. going through a quarter life crisis
about to finish up my associates, was going to transfer out into some better private school and go for a philo/psych double major and go into detective work or something along those lines

Pic related. Just got some goodies from Townsend's last weekend. What's a cheap pair of quick drying trousers, £30 or less 
I need some help and/or advice concerning hammocks and related equipment. I've been looking around and checking reviews the last few days, but I'm at a loss what I need. I'm new to hiking in general, but I visited a relative when he stayed in Nepal and we walked for four days between guest houses, but it was fantastic just to enjoy the fresh air and not be holed up in a city. Some parts were pretty brutal for me, but I got through alright.
I'm going to go hike in my country during my vacation in a months time or so. The temperature during the nights is going to range around 8-12 degrees C (46-53 F) on avarage. I'm 183 cm (6') tall, and overweight at 105 kg (230 lbs). What setup should I look for? Should I buy a hammock, underquilt, inflatable mattress, sleeping bag, and a tarp? Or can/should I skip the underquilt or mattress? If I should only bring one then I assume the mattress would be the better choice for me since there are lean-to's and such along the many trails in my county. Would a sleeping bag still be essential if I decide to sleep in my merino wool clothes? I assume yes. What hammocks and related gear do you recommend? Inflatable mattress or a firm one? What tarp would be good? I've read good things about Warbonnet, and that they have good options for us fatsos. Price isn't that much of a factor if it means the gear is good and I can sleep well.
And yes, I'm new at hiking in general, but I grew up on the country side and miss being out in nature. Does anyone know where you can get free nautical charts to practice navigation etc?
I really don't want to wait 6 to 8 weeks for a $40 map to arrive that i am just going to make mistakes all over anyway. Tips on: How to clean yourself/prevent smelling like a hobo when /out/?

I moved here from Australia in April of last year and only just got my camping gear in order but now that it is I'm really keen to start. Unfortunately haven't bought a car yet but willing to rent one to get out of London. I was wondering what the deal with wild camping is and where some good spots to break in my gear would be.

Isn't this preferrable to working a manual labour job with eastern europeans for 12 hour shifts just so you can afford to rent a shoebox flat or terraced house in an urbanised environment while your body and mind slowly degrades over time?

The only thing that would stop you would be a health problem or bear attack which required something more than OTC medication I've had my dog for 3 years and take her hiking/camping with me every time. Shes very obedient and friendly so I walk her off leash unless horses or other dogs are coming up on us. She likes to sniff at people as they pass, and I have never encountered anyone who didn't mind her going up to them. But the retards on this board bitching about unleashed dogs has made me paranoid. Have any other dog owners encountered this in real life or is it just a meme created by the fat angry larpers?

Feel free to post tobaccos (no weed allowed), pipes, collections, pics of favorite combos for going /out/, pics of what you're doing with your pipe and any questions you might have.
Want to get into smoking pipes without spending too much cash?
Get a Missouri Meerschaum Legend corncob pipe and a pouch of either Prince Albert, Carter Hall or Half and Half tobacco, available at most drugstores.
What you'll need: pipe, tobacco, lighter or matches, pipe cleaners, and either a regular old nail or a pipe tool (combination tamper, scoop, and small pick).
All of these together should run you less than $20.
Having trouble keeping your pipe lit? Fill it with less tobacco and smoke it slower than you think you need to, lightly tamping as needed when the smoke starts thinning out.
If you're still having trouble, try filling your pipe this way:

Is it possible to use a tentstove with the pipe outside the door or the airopening without burning this thing? I want something really fuckin bitchin for my dad and all he's actually used/ carried are small peanut and small stockman style pocket knives
Personally want 1 for myself too, as I really can't be whipping out a Spyderco at work. OK lads. I'm outside. Now what do I do? Hey /out/ just wondering what the fuck this tool is all about, it's not Sharp enough to cut paper or the string it came with, so I came here to figure out what it is. >Tent camping and fishing.
Not a lot of info on this subject.
Anyone ever road trip and camp BLM?
Are fishing licenses required?
Can I just pull off the side of the road and hike in?
July 20-27
California>Oregon>Idaho>Montana>Wyoming>Colorado. What whetstone do you recommend for AUS-8?
My only experiance with sharpening a knife is a second hand whetstone used with oil and a mystery steel chinese knife that I cant get to take an edge Is there a /out/ hiking GPS buying guide? I just want something that can help me be found in case of emergency Teach me how to stealth camp on private owned fields Anyone belong to the National Trust? Anyone else pack starter logs during backpacking trips? I generally do 3-day outings, and I bring two. They are excellent when it's wet out, and the peace of mind is nice since it's a great thing to have for an emergency. How do I do I deal with ticks for both humans and dogs? for some reason this year they've been everywhere this year and tweezers and a pain to use. Been looking at these "tick cards" that seem to claim to work well, should I get one of those or a tick hook? also does anyone know if tick prevention sprays work or if their just a scam? I've seen a few ultra sonic collars which are meant prevent dogs from getting them, but it seems like snake oil. also what clothing is good at preventing ticks? I've just been wearing tight trousers and washing my jacket after everytime I go /out/. Thanks anons! My dad had this fishing pole out back in a shed.i was trying to fix it up but I couldn’t find any info on the company. The kind is a “jasper spin” says e-glass construction. Company is “marado” it’s brand symbol is a golden m it has a aquamarine background to it. I'm looking for a warm winter coat, All the down ones I see aren't waterproof and the outer material is very weak against scrapes.
I like the coat in this video but it seems to be a discontinued rei one

What do you recommend? What if we started/ make a trending twitter hashtag called #orcalivesmatter you know what time it is
post your favorite hikes, complete with pictures and details
pic related is me hiking in the Hiawatha national park along the lake superior coast What does /out/ think about Japanese pull saws? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7bL61cSUpw My dog is very rugged and built for harsh terrain/extended hikes. I’m bringing him on his first multi-day hike a few days from now and thought getting pic related would be good for him to carry some of his gear. What’s the best brand for these? Are they worth it at all?
He’s 40 pounds btw Starting to think that our guy Ted is just a God in human clothes
Post Ted stuff Me and some friends who also hunt were talking and ended up getting to the topic of hunting on an empty stomach. Is that something common? I do it for my own autistic personal reason, but my friend said some shit about hunger “sharpening their senses”
Pic unrelated My thought is that it is either over watered or under fertilized. Any ideas? Thoughts on this trail? I want to hike it in late June, bugs are gonna suck, but it looks dope. Bought a used dhp truerec kayak with built in outriggers but now cannot seem to find replacement gaskets for the specific parts and their website is basically dormant. how screwed am I?

First for fuck pike. Did I just fall for the Bivi bag meme?
Tried out my new alpkit hunka last weekend which is supposed to be mega breathable but I still woke up with damp patches on my down sleeping bag :(
I love everything else about it, it’s mega light, packs down tiny, fast to setup and you can set it up pretty much anywhere and it’s low profile for stealth camping, but if it’s going to give me a damp sleeping bag each time I use it then it renders itself unusable.
Did I do something wrong? Do I need to get a more expensive one? Or does anyone have any recommendations for something that is a good replacement and won’t leave me with a damp bag? I’m thinking I might try out a tarp and groundsheet next but that’s less ideal for what I want. what video games does /out/ play when theyre not out? since its summer i spend more time inside because i hate the heat. ive been playing the long dark and wonder if theres any similar comfy outdoor games like it. Are these iron?
I found it in gravel of the road More infographs like pic related?
Thinking about buying a bunch of land in Montana and starting a cult. Would like some pro-tips on how to forge a self-sufficient community. I've recently taught myself how to start a fire with this method. And I'm wondering if there is any point in learning the hand drill method.
I've been able to get an ember from Aspen, juniper, and spruce. have any of you folks ever been to a rainbow gathering and I don't mean jesse jackson or lgbqrst https://www.welcomehome.org So I'm pretty handy and try to make my own /out/ shit whenever possible. Now I'm looking into making my own general /out/ clothes. So what is the best material to sew my own general use outdoors clothing? Mainly shirt and pants/shorts. Or in other words what's the best material to wear /out/? what is a good bushcraft campsite for longer stays and revisits? what is the best way to arrange rocks for a good campfire? https://www.strawpoll.me/20206174 >he doesn't forge his own tent stakes
have fun with your ultralight bent tinshit toothpick 
Hey guys, I'm trying my hand at growing some American Giant sunflowers and think I might be off to a bad start.... My soil is good and I've spaced them 11 inches apart, but I put three seeds per hole, I have small sprouts that just started coming up today, and in some spots I see three of them (I'm assuming the ones that I don't will just come in later)
One of my questions is even though I plan to thin them once the sprouts are three or four inches tall, will this tripple group planting come back to bite me in the butt? Also I know that birds and squirrels and such are known pest, but I live in a suburb of Dallas and dont know how worried I should be about them. I dont mind them eating the seeds because I dont plan on doing any harvesting, but will they eventually kill my plants if I dont do anything about it?
It's really just the planting arrangement I've done, thinning, and pest that I'm worried about. They're in good soil, and are getting a ton of sunlight, but how worried should I be about the other things mentioned above? Thanks in advance for any information and help! Are any regulars on this board into scuba? I'm storing/borrowing a boat from a uncle for a year and want to get in to it this summer. What kind of certifications do I need before applying for an open water course? pic unrelated
can any experienced farmers help?
So i wanted to start gardening, but im not sure what i can grow given the soil. i want to grow things that will take in the ground without me having to go buy special soil/mulch and build a gardening box
the ground is pretty much clay, floods so much during rain its almost like a rice paddy and cracks in the dry months. My neighbors up the ways have corn fields but i dont know how they grow so much and without a circle irrigation setup
i live in central texas near austin btw. Is there any berries/vegetables I can grow on my apartment balcony? It's facing north so I only get a few hours of sunlight each day How dangerous are caves? How do you get into cave exploring? Anybody have spelunking stories to share? P: 0 other user on this page
