For you, impossible

Iunno, i grew up in rural Oregon. Pretty used to cold and wet, just never had to live in it.
When was the last time you skated outdoors? On a natural or artificial surface?

I fully understand and agree that recreational bike riding is a healthy and practical thing to do. But why do adults look so awkward when they ride bikes?

We'll in that photo, the bike is way too small for him. His posture is shit and he looks like a noon because of it.

Anyone have any experiences camping in NJ during the off season?
My buddies and I want to hike the BATONA for a little bit during the beginning of January.
Now, it seems like this dude https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0xEZ4oSMfQ is able to just kinda camp where ever he needs to, but we just went back there for a walk last night and ran into a ranger who wouldn't believe we weren't up to shenanigans.
Are we gonna be able to camp for free if we move each night?
It's not just a money thing, it's not all that expensive, but I don't want...

Are you seriously asking if you will be arrested for camping at a campsite?
Hi!
I've never hiked the batona before, but I used to camp and 4wheel out there a bit.
About 2 years ago most of the campsites went to reserveamerica, which is a horrible company and they charge a ton of money. Also, the campsites are really not located conveniently for a hike. I'd say pack light and plan to stealth it out, people do it and get away. There are plenty of rangers up there though, so just be aware of that. I wouldn't set up camp until dusk.
I've camped there in December at the paid sites, and it can get cold, but not too...

Also, if you're willing to travel a little bit, Delaware Water Gap is top notch, but it gets much colder at night. You can camp on the AT there in the off season, it goes right through the national park or whatever.
Pic related, Delaware river 1 mile north of where the AT crosses over.
What's the best material for a base layer to keep warm, but at the same time won't make me sweat buckets? Is wool/merino wool still king, or is bamboo (or some other alternative) better?
>>647035
i'm pretty loyal to synthetic/polypro
Merino.
Best combo is these sexy net shirts. On its own it will keep you cool and wick moisture faster. Add a thicker layer and the net construction will help hold air = keep you warm.

This, no need to buy the expensive itchy woolen long john silvers.
Can we get an /out/ recommended reading thread?

Is Walden a meme?
Even though I'm almost 30 now I still read "The Hatchet" and "Brian's winter" at least once every couple years.
Hey /out/ does anyone know what kind of plant this is?
Sorry for sideways pic, dont know why it is
It's a triffid. Run for your life.

Do you like dogs, OP?
Might be a nice compromise.

dogs don't do anything for your empathetic needs
First of all, stop being a frogposter. Nobody likes frogposters.
I was invited to spend a few days in the woods by a friend and want to know if I should do it. It's a girl, so maybe we can skip the accusations of homosexuality right off. It's in NC near the mountains on private property, but I don't know if I should do it. I'd have to buy some supplies and it's kind of a spur of the moment thing. She mentioned hunting too, so I either buy camouflage or just not give a damn and just enjoy time with a girl and let the actual hunting go second. I planned on taking my rifle either way for protection, so there's that....

you're the one who brought up homosexuality. You almost seem disappointed it's a girl. Or is it a "girl"?
As to the gear, how about asking her? "Hey about the outdoors thing, what gear should I bring?"
Yeah sure do it it sounds fun

Stop yelling.
I posted on /k/, but also would like /out/'s opinion. Wanna start a website/blog /out/ related. Asking for input on what youd like to see or not see, and if any of you would even follow it.
I'd read it if it was mgtow related and someone other than you wrote it.
Id follow

So where have you been in Norway, what do you recommend and what is worth seeing?
Bumping for interest.
When I visit I don't get out of Oslo much. I've been in Folldal, which had beautiful landscapes but I couldn't tell you where to hike.

Question for British anons, I know you are supposed to bin that knife but are you still allowed to own an /out/knife? How do your basic camp craft, like say you have to cut some paracord do you use a sharp rock? Or take it into town to an approved cordage cutter?
you're allowed a fucking knife, you only get in trouble if you're seen with it in the middle of a town like a retard

Its happenig!
I am looking forward for your results here..
Merry Christmas! In Finland we get present today and I got underquilt for my hammoc. Pretty excited to go on my first winter hike after New year.
