Hey /out/,
I'm deciding to grow some plants in my backyard that are interesting yet somewhat difficult to grow. Would you guys recommend Opium Poppy and Foxglove? I have a bunch more plants I want answers from but I'm just asking ab out these 2 right now.

Poppies are real easy to grow. Scatter seeds early and they germinate quickly. I never bother to thin mine, Just let them go. When they flower it is great. You can collect the seeds or dump them on the ground for next year. They're kinda like pepper shakers I say. Also, you can collect the seeds for cooking.
Try growing tobacco. I'm gonna get some seeds soon and give it a try.

If you do, where the hell can I buy good quality split rings in the 21st century?

I hike an out of the way forest service trail and today when I was hiking on it I came across this. It's 2 trees between 2 1/2 to 3 feet wide each. I only carry a Cold Steel Kukri (good for stuff up to 1 foot wide), Coghlans cheap small pruning saw, and a survival saw that is a chainsaw chain between 2 nylon straps.
No way I'm going to get through these with my normal stuff. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe just build a little bridge and wait until next year when the forest Service will come take care of it?

Hey /out/,
In the beginning of May I want to take a 2-week trip to Utah to spend a couple days in the 5 national parks there (Arches, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon, & Zion).
My plan is to drive there and camp somewhere near the parks, then drive in each day and do some hiking before driving out and finding a new campsite.
I planned a couple days at each park, plus a couple 'free days' in case I want to stay somewhere a little longer.
I have all the car-camping gear, clothing, and so on. Plan to eat normal camping-style food,...

Thanks, this is exactly the info I was looking for, I appreciate it!
When you say that rural people will not hesitate to rob me, does that mean like at gunpoint and steal all my money or plunder my camp/break my car windows when I'm not around?
>>656755
That other guy is a Nigger and he projects his raping, robbing, thieving murder culture on whites. You will never meet nicer people in the world than Mormons or utahans
Can /out/ recommend any good camping games or past-times to do with friends?
3 of us are going winter camping, and I'd just like to keep things from getting stale after we build the obligatory snow cave
bb gun and beer, plink empty cans
If Billy suggests you play "hide the pickle", don't fucking do it. Ask me how I know.
OP this is why I always keep a fresh roll of pasta in my pack. Always good to find pasta themed to suit the occasion - urbex pasta for urbex nights, halloween pasta for autumn, return-from-the-grave pasta when there's been a recent passing, winter pasta for winter camping, etc.
Draw me a knife that:
looks nice, in your opinion
or
is practical for a stated reason
or
will sell well for some reason
I'll pick one, make it and post it to you if you give a good drawing and reasoning.
TL;DR design a knife you would like to be made.

Going arrowhead hunting for the first time tomorrow. Any tips or advice? Pic unrelated
look down
>>660902
Oh shoot. I didn't try that, thanks anon
I have artifact hunted on some land in Florida, where they were known to be.
We dug a hole, a big hole. and then you stand in this hole and use a shovel to expose the side of the hole, and look for arrowhead or spear heads sticking out the side. we found several, taking turns in the hole, and drinking beer. you need to be careful, because your shovel will break the tip off the arrowheads pretty easy.
my brother in law found a beautiful spear head.
Why do pigs have tails? They're too short and curly to be useful for anything.
> can't swat flies like a cow or horse
> not useful for balance like a cheetah or greyhound
>>659561
Probably the same reason humans still have a tail bone.
Protip for the uneducated here: evolution is a process, not a result.
So in the Future Pigs will be Tailless?
>>659588
They'll have some sort of vestigial tail, but in the case of domestic pigs, evolution is a controlled process, so much like dogs, they'll have whatever traits we breed for. Or Monsanto will step in and they'll just be a huge slab of bacon with a mouth.
Hello /out/
I'm gonna backpack and travel through India in about 2 weeks, I'm gonna buy a 60-70 liter backpack. What should I fill it with? Recommand me some useful gear from your experience preferably In India.
Btw ducks from a ducks store in Amsterdam.

Make sure to bring toilet paper.
And get your traveler's diarrhea and cholera vaccination. You should already have your hep shots.

How does a shut-in gamer like myself begin to learn the ways of /out/?
I'm tired of repeating the same process of school, vidya, eat like shit, gym, sleep. Want to get into hiking/camping. Any good sites/vids to better verse myself? Read most of the sticky now just need to find a starting point
Bump. Fellow shut-in anon who wants to get /out/ more.
Go for short walks at a local park as often as you can. Start planning longer hikes or day hikes and go from there. Camp sites or car camping could be a decent way to learn how to pitch camp, light a fire, etc. Looking up gear lists and that sort of thing helped me plan my first backpacking trip, but you certainly learn the most from your mistakes.

What does /out/ think of Survival Lilly? She seems to know her shit and her videos are pretty interesting. She hunts, builds shelters, and has legit bushcrafting skills. All I'm saying is that any woman who carries a cold steel SRK into the woods is alright with me.
Also, hot chicks inna woods general.

anybody ever grown milkweed before? I want to plant some native varieties in my backyard, starting from seed
I'm considering building a garden in my backyard, just a simple square design probably. It will be used for tomatoes, green onions, cucumbers, and other similar things. Maybe something for growing chili's too. Any suggestions are welcome.
Howdydoo, lads. Love ya' all.
It's no secret that outdoor activities are incredibly beneficial for the body, mind and spirit. Does it bring my fellow sc/outs/ to a better connection with whichever deities or lack thereof they worship? What religion do you follow, if any?
This isn't some kind of edgy 'muh mother naturr' thread, neither is it a place for theists and atheists to shit on each other, please take that stuff elsewhere.
I do ceremony, I don't talk to white people about it and I don't think western notions of "nature" and humanities place in it aligns with my understanding of it.
That being said I find other people feeling at one or connected to things valid and I'm not here to squash that.
>>643642
Could you clarify some more, though? I'm not that white, y'know.
>>643656
Prefer not to, anyway I will say there are many plastic shamans around and outsiders should be privy of those willing to sell you traditions so you can feel "one with nature"
Carp fishing thread. Post anything Carpy and we can discuss. I'm a British carp angler by the way. Picture is my set up.
Aussie fisher here. Carp are fucking pests, only place they belong is on a rock, dying.
Locally, they've destroyed all the cod habitat, and pretty much killed off wild trout. Fucking little cunts they are..
when i see carp i sharpen a stick
spear them
and toss them into the bushes
nasty fucks that muddy the water, taste like battery acid, and kill off all the other fish
it's illegal in my state to to not kill a carp after hooking it
>>661022
Interesting. My fishing buddie's uncle lives in Australia. Says you can be fined if caught with them.
