Has any company ever made the transition from an outdoor themed apparel company to a semi-respectable manufacturer of actual performance gear (jackets,backpacks)?
I don't have the money to start designing and producing real gear, but I think I could try my luck at T-shirts and such. I would use this money to work my way up and become a respectable company, hopefully. I don't want to become just another "outdoors" company like Hippy Tree that just makes crap for college kids.
Any good examples?

>I don't want to become just another "outdoors" company like Hippy Tree that just makes crap for college kids.
But that's where the money is. Besides, the performance outdoors equipment market is pretty oversaturated.

Southern Utah, I think it was Salt Creek near/in Canyonlands NP.
Any recomendations on cheaper good hiking pants for snow? I'm losing weight so I don't need anything real fancy and I'm not doing anything hardcore.
>>660306
>Not fancy, cheap
Just wear what you have you hipster doofys
>>660306
I actually have the same pants in your pic OP, but they have suspendeders built in.... I use them for skiing.
They are awesome. Got them like 10 years ago on sale for like $20. Got a Marler ski jacket too for like $40... come to think of it, I got ski boots MSRP $800 for $125.... needless to say, that store went out of business. Everything was always on clearance seemed like.
They're good pants but I've never hiked in them. Only ski in them.
>>660306
I got a pair of Arcteryx drac pants. They are only 260 bucks. Great for snow once you put some long John silver's under it.
Does anyone know any trails or national parks in Europe that are viable to trek from the 19th to the 26th of march? (ie. does not require skiis, does not have 5 metres of snow everywhere).
>>659248
i dont believe you
>>659247
I can't tell for other countries but you'll find snow in most of interesting trails in France in March (Pyrénées, Alpes, Corse...).
>>659258
Thanks!
Hey /out/ I am in the millitary and need a good pair of boots for rucking with like 130ish lbs on my back.The boots have to be black and have a polishable surface.And well look like a millitary boot.What do you recomend?pic is the boots i was issued.
Use the gear you're issued and don't be a pussy.
Can someone help identify this plant? It's growing iny uncle's backyard.
>>657903
Also, sorry for it being sideways
A state/province, country, or even a continent would really be extremely useful...
That being said, it may be some type of sycamore.
>>658439
Those leaves are much too large to be a sycamore,unless there is some weird one I've never seen before.
But yeah,more info would be nice.
Only two things I know that have leaves that large off the top of my head are an empress tree(paulownia tomentosa),or an indian bean tree(catalpa erubescens)
Has anyone in /out/ seen a Bigfoot? What happened?
>>657541
I saw a big foot one time at the shoe store. It was huge and it stunk.
>>657564
Says you.
I'm going to spend about 6 weeks travelling the western US next may in pic related. How do I keep myself safe at night?
With a gun.
>>654669
I'll have a handgun and a rifle, but they won't help me if someone swings an axe through my tent into my face.
>>654670
So put some consideration into where you camp. Don't sleep in murderous hobo central.

Anyone have issues with wild animals while out?
Let me hear your stories, and see your pictures.
Pic related, This brave little mouse ran up my left pant leg. Attacking ferociously to the end, which was shortly after I took the picture. Never had a mouse attack before.
>playing paintball /out/side
>hiding in a thick bush
>chipmunk scurries in front of me
>literally touches my shoe as it runs past, not noticing me
>3 feet away it stops
>does 180
>runs back in front of me and stares me down
>it starts waging it's tail
I thought it was cute, but later found out that chipmunk...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Did he bite you? There's a chance he had rabies, which would have caused him to attack. Very few other reasons why a mouse would attack you. If he bit you at all, I'd have it checked out FOR SURE.
If you do get rabies, the death rate is nearly 100%.
>>645906
Thank you for your concern anon.
I caught it at the top of my boot under my pants. It did not make it to my skin and no bites received, It took me a minute to work it done my pant leg.
>be me
>trapped in Shitcago
>stuck here for at least another 2-3 years
How do I /out/ while I'm here? I lived in Colorado for over 2 years and now the whole midwest is a huge joke to me. As soon a I save enough money I'm getting climbing gym membership, and that's really all I can think of besides the forest preserves.
>>660290
Get up to Wisconsin, or go either out west towards the Mississsippi River or south like Carbondale for anything that resembles terrain and wildlife.
Check out Starved Rock or whatever the hell it's called. My sister went camping there a few years back and witnessed some dude jump off a cliff and kill himself.

Youre in the Great Lakes region and Cant find an /out/door activity?
Are you hurt or sick? Is something preventing you from thinking clearly?
>>660302
Well, name one place a day-trip distance from Chicago where there's /out/ stuff to do. I've looked into sailing but I'm pretty broke right now so it's off the table. Basically right now I have typical camping gear, and a small trad climbing rack along with mountaineering gear I've put together over the years.
Are these shoes good for hiking?
>>660436
you'll get the same answer you got on /k/
>>660448
/out/ will say no, but if you don't mind walking in them then it doesn't matter. Buy what works for you, not what the internet tells you to.
>>660448

Hy /out/, /k/ommando here.
Long story short, my wife bought me a dehydrator for christmas and now I'm making my first batch of beef jerky at the moment. Can we have a thread where we collect everything about Jerky like reciepes, tricks, times in the dehydrator and temperatures?!
>>654104
I want that jerky in my mouth.
>>654104
Make sure it gets over 165 degrees F at some point. Trim all visible fat, it goes bad. I like to soak mine in the fridge overnight in whatever flavor I want on it. Try teriyaki, then rolled in coarse ground black pepper. Picante sauce and tabasco work well, too. Sea salt and black pepper are surprisingly good.

Needing weather reports to survive is a fucking pussy move. A real man can deal with whatever the fuck arises.
>>655426
You don't need them to survive per say but if you know a fuck xbox hueg storm is coming why would you go out?
Being caught off guard is one thing but even then you should be prepared anyway when going out.
>>655426
right, but there's a difference between being able to deal with whatever happens and knowing to avoid it in the first place.
