So I live in the UK and I was camping inawoods.
Around sunset we heard various sounds which sounded like walking around but shrugged it off as an animal or something. But then we heard, several times noises which can only be described of something like a silverback gorilla, but much more resonant and deeper.
We got the hell out of that wounds ASAP.
Can anything within scientific reason describe what happened to me? It is very unlikely that any large animals were in the area, and the chances of people being there are even slimmer.
My only explaination is bigfoot.
>>801451
Well if you stay up to date with the H2 channel (and possibly /x/) then you will know that Bigfoot is actually an ET and can traverse galaxies, universes, and dimensions. So I see no reason why one wouldn't be in the UK even though they are most commonly seen in the PNW.
Unless you have something like we have in FL where exotic animals actually escape from zoos and homes, especially during hurricanes. The "Skunk Apes" were actually real apes that got loose from a zoo.
>>801451
>very unlikely that any large animals were in the area
No large animals. Must be mythical large animal. Right.
Do you have black bear? They make noises like pissed off gorilla. It's the OOH OOH OOH type of sound when they are trying to scare off someone. Les Straud said he heard what sounded like a gorilla once in a story and I 100% guarantee it was a bear.

Guys, what are some of your tried and true indoor methods to repel insects...without the use of insecticide?
>>800751
>i wanted to ask an indoor question on the outdoor board
I close the windows and doors, weatherize everything with caulking and Great Stuff expanding foam insulation. All baseboards, light fixtures, water pipes, electrical boxes, etc get the treatment. No ingress allowed. For gnats/vinegar flies I use a yeast trap. For normal flies I use fly strips. For crawling insects I use falling traps or sticky traps.
Next time ask >>>/diy/
Hi /out/,
Me n the lady friend are going to Denver in early August and are hoping to do three nights of backpacking while we're there. We're both Rocky Mountain noobs (thought I've got a fiar amount of backpacking experience). A friend from the area suggested we do the Thunder Lake to Lion Lake loop (pic related) in Rocky Mountain National Park, which seems pretty good for what we're looking for. It's about 16.5 miles which is shorter than I'd normally plan for 3 days but we're both east coasters and not used to the elevation of the...

What is behind this wave of suicidal behavior?
Should millennials need a permit to go /out/ to prevent them from clogging up the trails with their corpses? Do they not care about the environment?

Unless you're older than 34, you're likely a "millenial" too. Stop making this a generational thing, when cases like these are more or less examples of individual foolishness.
>>798811
But it is a generational thing (mostly the result of overprotective parenting and not enough unsupervised free time spent outdoors as kids, plus bullshit postmodern educational theory, that adds up to a lack of basic life skills).
>>798796
Millennials shouldn't be allowed outside at all without a handler.
Anyone ever worn Vibrams /out/?
I like the pair I wear to the gym, but am not sure how this style of footwear would hold up on hikes, even though they sell types geared for outdoors.
>>798087
depends on the kind of hike OP.
I take mine trail running through a wooded lowland area near my house. Sometimes I go barefoot. been thinking about making a pair of running sandals (pic related) when they give out
Personally I'd never take them hiking outside of something ultralight. Distance wise, I wouldn't trust them if I wanted to make serious miles.
Again, if you live someplace that's really rocky, thorny, or otherwise demanding protection, you might be better off with something...

Whats those boat?

>>798054
Some kinda Master Craft water skiing boat, the "rollbar" is for attaching the tow line and storing skies and boards.
>>798053
Water-skiing and wake-boarding boat. They usually cost 3x as much as you think. The one in the pic is probably like 80-100k new.
Post /out/ pictures that make you super comfy.

Thanks, thats flattering
Does anybody know what kind of creature will pop out of this egg? Found in the New Mexico desert close to ABQ
Closer look
none, now.
He's dead, Jim.
Probably a snake... or small bird.. but now.. a unique breakfast treat or Balut.
So when i'm out, how do i keep myself from getting stung to death by insects like ticks and mosquitoes?
DEET

Ive yet to find something that actually helps other than bug nets and more clothing
bug nets, deet n clothing are all the best way.
If you find yourself without these, making a smoky fire helps too, time/region/laws/ect permitting- toss greenish wood or punky wood along with leaves or w/e on top of your fire.
Probly not the best reason to pick up this habit, but smoking seems to cut down on them too. Not sure if while doing the act, it distracts you, or the small amount of smoke actually is enough or what but it's just a bullshit unsubstantiated feeling I have about it.
I figured this is probably the best place to ask this. I'm looking to use up my GI bill eventually. Does anyone know much about degrees in the forestry field? Is it a meme degree? Or will I be able to find a job somewhere eventually? I just want to dick around innawoods for a living
Volunteering at state or national parks is your friend. Have experience with the environment you want to work with. I'm starting my first seasonal work innawoods with a computer science degree, but plenty of volunteer experience.
Forestry degree cant hurt, except financially, but experience is the true true.
Go talk to your state forestry office see if they are offering any wildland fire fighting courses. It's a foot in the door back that up with forest technician papers n you may have a chance at landing something full time.

I very rarely burn, but sometimes my neck and nose etc. turn a bit red or purple indicating sunburn. However, I can never feel any of it. No burning, no sensitivity to touch or anything. Other people always complain about how their sunburns hurt so bad, even when they're barely visible, so how come I don't?

I'm going to be moving to Omaha from Hawaii for college I really like fishing and was wondering if anyone could give me any tips about what to get and where to go. I've been watching some videos about bass fishing and stuff to try and learn but I realize it's going to be a lot different then the salt water fishing I do here. Any suggestions?
>>802397
Yep lots of freshwater fishing folks in the general, ask there
>>802397
>we should only have 4 threads on /out/
I'm just gonna bump this for anon in hopes that another Hawaii anon sees it. The fishing thread is a lot of freshwater people, a couple NE anons, and a guy in Ohio who think he knows how to saltwater fish.
I figured this would be the best place to ask this.
My brother is letting me barrow his boat while he's out of the country to go fishing with my friend. I usually fish off a dock or off shore but I've only driven a boat once and that was 15 years ago when my uncle go so drunk he passed out so i drove the boat to shore. An i was only 13 then
I know how to drive and back a tandem axle trailer very well, so trailing it will be no problem. An i know my truck can pull it easily.
But what should i know about driving a boat?

just back the trailer in so the very end of the boat is lifting off the trailer and then get out and push it by hand off the roller. once its back far enough just hop in and start it up and bring it over to the dock and tie it up. then go park your truck and then just hop back in and you're off
>>802124
This. It's not that complicated.
Push it off by hand and if anything use some ropes to pull it over to the dock from the launch. Tie it up, go park the trailer, and do your thing.
Make sure you note where any drain plugs and shit are. Put them in before you drop it in the water and take them out when you get it back on the trailer.
>>802121
>>802126
Also one thing that doesn't always come naturally to people at first- boats don't turn well unless you give them power. So say you have an obstruction directly ahead of you. In a car, you would let off the throttle and turn the wheel while hitting the brakes. In a boat, you need to keep on the throttle while turning if you want the thing to turn well. If you completely let off the gas, the thing will just go straight.
And if you notice a lack...
