Went out to Pisgah this weekend and it got me thinking. I'd like to thru hike a portion of the AT over the course of two weeks to a month with someone who is just as interested to make that happen. I can't do the whole thing but I'd like to begin chunking it out, starting from GA.
Has anyone here done it before, who could share some information on meeting others who would be interested? I do know I can meet plenty of others on the trail. If anyone is interested in giving it a shot, let me know because I'd like to start talking about it ASAP and get...

I'm a hot chick with low self-esteem and into cutting.
I'll go with you!

Wow! That sounds great!
good taste in Pisgah me friend. try the lower elevations in that Wilderness Area. some neat stuff.
So /out/, anyone else out there live in tents during the summer? Pic related is part of my setup in northern Minnesota, a mile from Lake Superior. This is the second year I've done this. AMA I guess.
Comfy af
Love the setup. What was the overall cost? How long do you stay out? What's your typical day like?
What the hell is in this state? Any good places to look around? Preferably on the Western side of the state.
The state is amazing but don't tell anyone.
North Central is the best part but there is cool /out/ stuff all over

Wheeler Peak is alright I guess, and the Taos ski valley. Taos proper is alright... Pretty hippy dippy though and too much adobe and turquoise.
My wife is from acoma Pueblo. We will be going there in august . I'll let you know then. Excited to explore some lava tubes
Hey whats the best material or design for camouflage, particularly in an urban area?

Does material really matter that much? And for urban? Wtf are you doing OP?
yeah OP where you at?
flecktarn, right?
I'm looking for a 2 person 3 season tent light enough to backpack with. What does /out/ recommend? Also, general tent thread.
just bought:

the other day. looks like quality and is lighter then average. Keep in mind though I'm 6'2 200lb /fit/ so I can muscle the thing. It's 7x7ft at 6.25 lbs
I bought a coleman Flatwoods II. 4 person. It is a little heavier at 9lbs, but it is really good in harsh weather. I was having 30mph gusts and rain and it stayed up and kept me dry. Also, it isn't too bad on the bank. Picked mine up for about 60 bucks.
im having a hard time as well,

Hi not sure exactly what I can do for this girl, I think it's a Peruvian torch I'm not sure but I rescued it from a friend where it was like behind his toaster where it would apparently get splashed from his sunk enough to keep it alivr. It was a tiny little cluster and I've had it now for 3 months and it's looking better. Any tips on splitting it or whether I should just keep it as is ? Also is it a Peruvian torch which I think it's some type of trich. I'm just impressed I brought it back from the condition it was, it was the most sad looking thing ever

O thanks bud, actually I have my home made cactus blend under I just put that on top that I mixed with some stuff to keep a squirrel from digging it up lol
>>808576
It's healthy but there's like 10 cacti coming from the central space and all connected they aren't individual plants so I wasn't sure how to separate them since the one is doing so well. I feel like I adopted a kid from Kenya or something by helping this. Actually I'm sure this makes me happier then saving a kid would

rofl this guy is a hugely popular IT instructional guy on youtube. I've watched his videos for a few years on programming.
This i gotta see...beautiful location to totally fail in
I wasn't sure where else to post this but I need some help.
I have some sunflowers growing in a large pot in my living room under a lamp near a window until they're big enough to survive outside on their own.
Problem is, something is killing them and I'm not sure what. I'm kind of new to planting stuff in general and I can't find anything specific online.
Basically whatever it is eats away at the stems and leaves, crazy fast. The leaves end up looking like they have some sort of spider-web film left on them after being wrecked but...

Give me a sec

Went biking this morning for the 4th, and saw this beautiful painting in the sky at the park. Thought you'd all enjoy it. Anyone else have good sunrise/sunset pics?

So fellas, I'm aTexan planning on doing some solo hiking up in rocky Mountain National park in late july/early August. I'm pretty much just used to trails down here, so I wanted to know if I needed to prepare for any wild game that far north. I'm totally fine with beer mace, but I wanted to make sure I didn't need to bring a firearm chambered in .45 lc before I went.
God forbid I look like a total animu autist with my 10 gallon hat and single action revolver if I don't have to.
Thanks for the input
>>808185
Rocky Mountain National park only has black bears. There are no grizzlies in Colorado
The only thing you have to fear from them is that they might steal your food
Firearms are prohibited in national parks.
Lame rule that I never understood.
So no matter where I look in regards to advice I never see information about things like visa's/border transit/legalities/etc.
Its all just "Top 10 things to pack" and useless things like that.
I dont even know where to start.
If I wanna backpack through Europe, working at small jobs along the way, do I need a work visa? Are they hard to get?
Is there a certain length of stay I am allowed in countries/regions? What if i want to stay longer?
Any help?
>>808172
just work on a tourist visa and be afraid of deportation
>>808172
The travel board is more your speed. Its where all the 'muh parents buy me everything' kiddos live. So they know these kinds of things.
>>808182
why would spoiled kids know these things, if they're spoiled then everything would be done for them.
Gday out,
Im looking for the best rain tarp on the market, i want the best size:weight ratio. Money isnt an issue, i keep using my issue hootchie to shelter myself when im out camping and id like to leave that reserved for work and instead get a seperate tarp for my innawoodsing.
Im not too sure where to begin looking so ive come to the experts.
>pic related its my current shelter
>>808152
Excelent performance from my Kelty Noah's Tarp 12.
Pic related withstood heavy thunderstorm with 1/4" hail this past weekend.
I love it.
>>808154
I am going to Sweden, and I want to hike. Can I get recommendations for what part to do, and what to do?
I have 2 weeks, but ideally I want to hike for around 5 days or so at most, as I have other stuff I want to do.
Sounds like you want to hike. Are you asking for permission?
>>808059
Check out the all trails app. Don't know if Sweden is on there, but it might be.
Can anyone recommend a trail in southern Sweden? Going there in the summer.
Is military surplus generally the best value/quality ratio available? Or are there certain items that should be bought elsewhere? Also post stories/pics of your cool secondhand/milsurp/eBay finds
>>808041
>Is military surplus generally the best value/quality ratio available?
Only if you're poor. You can cut with a sharp rock you'll find for free but we all buy knives.
Some mil surp is acceptable when on budget. Some isn't even that bad...
Most of it is sub par.
>>808041
Depends a lot on where you are. In the US there is lots of US gear, in sweden there is lots of sweet sweet swiss gear. Both cost more the farther you get from the point of origin.In the US you can get an Alice Pack used for $50-ish, new $90-ish.
>>808046
That's for activities where you actually carry the gear.
If you're just going camping or with limited weight, like day hikes, milsurp becomes a lot more acceptable.
