was that guys last words really "fuck, fuck"?

>>752

It means several progressive climbs, then a suicidal dash to the summit, hang out on top for like ten minutes then race back down before you fucking die.

It's also a logistical nightmare and the poor fucks that volunteer/funded to play doctor watch people die all the time for being reckless. There's simply way too many fucking people up there and they spend the majority of their time not climbing to the top

I see what you're saying but I disagree with this sort of complaint. Of course you're not breaking new ground in a global sense, but as a personal challenge, it's still a pretty tough mountain and I can see how it would be a challenge/achievement you would look forward to in your own climbing career.

For instance, most weightlifters never even come close to the world records, but there's still significance in beating your own personal record. But that is a very personal experience, since only you are there to appreciate the many crucial variables, so beating a PR isn't something you can really brag about to others since who knows if you're lying or "cheated". Unless you actually enter a standardized competition, that is. Sounds like a lot of rich Everest climbers do "cheat" in many ways though.

Also Jesus Christ the camp in that video is fucking crowded. Looks like they've streamlined the hell out of it.

Try some longer /out/ excursions first. What is the longest you've been alone innawoods? How old are you? What skills do you have and lack that would allow you to live that way?

I've only camped for 3-4 days max. Im great with a bow, and decent with rifles. I guess that running out of food or getting injured would be the biggest issue because I know how to make shelter/fire/gain resources.

take small steps, no need to rush.

6k is nothing aim at 50k and in the meantime try to reduce how you depend on society

for example spend one night a week innawoods, then gradually increase

>>1392

if you have to ask you're not ready

go camping for longer stints

>>1394

dont rush, enjoy yourself

eventually you can camp out indefinitly

>6k

Are you out of your mind boy? Unless you're gonna have steady income while "innawoods", you'll crawl back home dead broke in a year tops. Much earlier, and with significant debt, if you have a major emergency (injury or car breakdown).

Anyway, if you need to ask even such basic questions on here, what will you do when you do bug out? Hope your phone gets reception?

just what I needed to see after climbing a tree to about the same height as that boy and feeling a bitty overcome with paralysing fear.

>today on life in a high trust homogenous white society

inb4 they are forced to accept a refugee somalinigger and he stabs half the kids to death

It seems very nice though. But I'm very surprised that injuries are not more common.

>110 degrees outside

>my car's steering wheel is so hot it burns my hands

>went camping and almost got a heatstroke from lying down in the tent, 90F inside

>normal hiking only possible from midnight to early morning

>i'm a late sleeper so my hikes might as well be trips through the sahara

Fuck Texas. One day I'll get the fuck out of here… Hella jelly of you OP.

i don't know how to fish, any pointers?

posisbly with minimal equipment

i assume sink, hook, floater and line wrapped around a stick can work, is this correct?

how do I recognize spots that are good for fishing, considering fishermen are very DUN SPOIL MUH SIKRET KLUB about the places where they find fish

Brim and catfish. It may be expensive, but beef jerky will draw catfish from all over. Best bait I've ever used and doesn't slip off the hook easily.

>>1348

I've fished with string and sticks before; whatever it takes to get the fish where you are.

Which is why he said I love snow, not all people should love snow.

>>1195

>not all people should love snow

>implying

>>1331

All /out/doorsmen should love snow. Seasonal change makes it possible for a landscape to offer different vistas throughout the year and rewards frequent hikes.

>>1350

To be honest, I prefer going out in the rain. A lot of fauna only comes out during rainy days like amphibians.

Dumb question, but important: how do you remain hydrated while avoiding giardia?

>>1191

>preparing for winter

fermented food. make holes in the ground, cover them in clay and fire the clay. if you have salt or vinegar you can safely pickle food. you can make vinegar in the same type of hole. the salt or acid prevents pathogens from growing while the lactobacillis develops and starts to secret its own acidic defences. good pickles still have lacto in them and will tingle on your tongue. a little bit of mold on the top can be skimmed off. if it smells rotten or has mold inside you did something wrong and you should throw it out.

you can pickle/ferment almost any kind of food you find in the wild. dandelion greens, fiddleheads, bird's eggs, meats, etc. the important part is keeping a low temperature, so dig a hole in the shade and cover it once you're done. this way the fermentation will happen over months instead of days.

many roots can just be sun dried and will keep indefinitely. to be healthy in the winter you should eat meat and fat. as far as scurvy goes, remember that uncooked meat is high in vitamin C. meat can be cut into very thin strips, dried by sun/fire and pounded into powder between two hides. this powder should then be mixed with rendered fat and perhaps a few dried+powdered berries to make pemmican. to get the lard, boil meat scraps and bones for some time and scrape the layer off the top once it cools. put the pemmican in an animal hide and seal it with sap or wax. there should be too much fat for anaerobic bacteria to develop. as usual, if it tastes and smells bad/rotten, it is.

a steady diet of what they now call probiotics will make it harder for food pathogens to hurt you: competing bacteria kills other microbes and if every surface of your gut is covered in probiotics there's no room for parasites to attach themselves without being genocided by your right wing bacterial colonies. it's like having tiny cossacks inside your body, ready to kill communists in whatever parasitic form they appear. you may already know that the bacteria in your gut talks to you by secreting hormones to affect your mood and regulate your diet.

>>1332

Boil your water or use chlorine tablets.

>>1343

Well/spring water can still harbor giardia cysts.

Something you should also mention is meeting nutritional requirements. Our immune system is regulated by zinc. Deficiencies in copper, iron, selenium, magnesium, B vitamins, vitamin A and vitamin E can also impact immune system functioning for the worse. Baker's yeast or torula yeast is a good source for most of these. You can also drink unfiltered beers, but this will impact B vitamin absorption.

I was expecting /indoors/. What the fug.

I know this is old, but did you pay for it using Paypal?

If you did you can get Paypal to refund you directly by launching an investigation.

I ordered from the now-defunct outpatches.tictail.com store. This one seems to be well-liked on 4/out/. Sadly, they don't have any patches specific to my state, although it's neat that those exist now.

Have any of you ever tried growing rhubarbs from seed? I have always propagated them from rhizomes in the past, but last year I let it go to seed to see what would happen. Now I have a ton of seeds and no idea what to do with them.

Yes.

Assuming you will be in North America, I would hit those for sure. Seeing the everglades might round it out, but I'm not really sure what goes on down there.
