A lot of people these days say sasquampches are a myth. These are usually a couple of dumb sexy hunks who went out with a couple of flashlights, looked around for an hour and forty five minutes, then went home when they found nothing and said squampsatches aren't real.
I'm here to tell you that's a bunch of horse hockey and I can prove it for a thousand dollars. These are five of the easiest steps for officially finding a confirmed sasquench for the science award.
1. Find a squempswotch

You said there were 5 steps. I only see 4. Where's step 5? What is step 5? Why did you exclude step 5?

Step five is in your heart
Stalker is a personal favourite of mine. Is 'Into the Wild' any good? Thinking of watching that tonight.
Gotta go with The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
Into the Wild is a pretty decent film. It's entertaining enough with some sappy dramatic parts here and there. Overall I'd recommend it.
Fucking stalker man. I need to watch that movie again.
>>622061
Stalker must be the most unpleasant movie I've ever watched.
Do you have an /out/ best friend? That one guy you always go hiking/hunting/fishing/whatever with?
Tell me about that guy.
>>632841
I have a good friend that I go hiking with. We share the interest of finishing all the 'famous' European trails.
The best part about it is knowing how your partner likes to hike. I've hiked with people that talked too much, people that took to many pictures, people that took too many breaks. Inexperienced people that forgot gear, etc.. It's annoying and kinda breaks the mood for me.
My bro and I just hike. There are no negative vibes. We don't talk that much, but there are no awkward...

Used to always go /out/ with my father.
Fishing. Hikig. Canoeing etc
Until he decided to stop talking to me
Now I mostly go /out / alone, and I have no issue with it,
Though while I'm only 19. I ice fish and sometimes go out saltwater fishing. With a hand full of guys who are all 65-85 years old. And I fit in just fine
>>633015
I can contribute physically. To what were. Doing. And. In return they help by giving me knowledge. It works great, I pull the sleds while ice fishing, and il help them move their deer stands. Etc. Even though I don't hunt
I found a strange rock at my school and it turned into dust when i touched it.

who else goes /out/ for some fungi? Im in western washington, just got these chantrelles and a lobster mushroom aka hypomyces
havent gotten much this season, besides lack of effort things have been kinda slow from the indian summer.
And for the other kind of fungi enthusiast heres some p. cyanescen that grow thick in the alder bark beds around my house
big ass chantrelle

>indian summer
I feel it. Compared to last year the season's been really slow to start and kinda underwhelming. Not gonna stop me, though...
Pic is last weekend's haul. Went with a small group of friends, everyone came back with about this much. Feels good to get out in the woods again.
Hey guys
I recently bought 3 camo tarps and maybe like 4m X 2m of camo netting, i have a tent thats in camo too and i was going to take a mate out this weekend to practice setting up a hidden campsite. Can /out/ give me any techniques, ideas, strategies, materials, other items it might be worth my while buying?
Thanks guys! - pic not relevant... just a pic

Stay out of hunting areas if you're going stealth. Hunters will sometimes shoot at any large moving object. Otherwise, just make sure everything is dark green or black. Set up after dark, tear down before light. Its not rocket surgery.
I've parked my bike five feet off the road, threw my tarp over it and layed out my bivy and haven't been spotted. People have really poor peripheral vision, unless there's movement. As long as you're still, you could probably be leaning against a fencepost...

dig into the ground a bit for natural weather cover, keep the tarp low, you dont really need a tent, insulate the ground with foliage

>Stay out of hunting areas if you're going stealth.
horrible advice, out of season, hunting areas are the best spots(in canada at least) for stealth camping.
very small plots(30-50 acres) are often unhunted an forgotten year round.
stay the fuck out of the large ones though, unless you know your spot well, youll probably find non hunters passing through who will snitch on you.
ive stealth camped a lot and hunting areas are the only ones ive found that have afforded...

Depends, are you a geocatcher or a geopooper?

Trespassing criminal. Not interested in feeding your illegal activity. Train hopping is dangerous, illegal, and you should not do it. Ever. Under any circumstances.
Is North Face actually worth anything (not even asking if they are worth the price they ask, they obviously aren't)? If I get their most expensive jacket or someshit will it actually be somehow better than a generic windbreaker with a generic felt jacket underneath?
By generic I mean walmart-tier.
>>629966
>will it actually be somehow better than a generic windbreaker with a generic felt jacket underneath?
i don't know, but i imagine that hyvent is more breathable then your generic windbreaker. I have pic related and pretty happy with it.
Yes, because it says Northface on it.
>>629966
Some counted things yes.
North Face is imo mid-tier at high tier prices.
Not the best, close to Columbia and Patagonia.
Arc'teryx and Fjällräven is where the meta is at, and Häglofs has some nice things too.
Wanting to have my first psychedelic experience in the forest with mushrooms. Any of you ever had this experience? Advice? Pros/cons? It would probably take place during a car camping trip.
Don't do it in the forest for your first time if you've never tripped, it can get over stimulating and that's worse than it sounds
>>628954
what this guy said. Especially if there's any chance of running into something that can eat you.
Go to an aquarium or a zoo or something. I live in Chattanooga so I just go to the Aquarium and stare at fish when I trip.
>cons?
Every tree looks like someone that will kill you.
After posting in the "mother of all patch threads" thread I decided to make my own version of the patch for ausfags /out/ there.
However all gumtree designs Ive come up wit,h are far too detailed for a patch, any ideas or can anyone help me out with the rest of this design?
Also what do you all think of my job on the kangaroo? not bad for an ms paint job.
Once the design is ready I'm going to get them made and sell them to any fellow ausfags who might be interested, but I'm getting ahead of myself.
make a spider one
>>620362
not that talented and would take forever.
however I'm really tired so I'll give it a crack in the morning. check back in 24hrs, if I haven't posted, it, check in 48hrs from now.
>>620361
Not an ausfag but I had an idea for changing the background trees to mount fuji and where the stars would be replaced with the rising sun pattern. Maybe for australia replace the treeline with ayers rock?
Questions that don't deserve their own thread
>Is a tomahawk useful when /out/ or are they pretty much just fedora axes?
Also, what's a good tomahawk to carry on the woods?
>>619645
A tomahawk is no more useful than a regular hatchet when /out/.
>>619651
Unless your collecting scalps
>>619656
Scalping wasn't usually done with tomahawks, it was done with knives. Tomahawks were for throwing and hand-to-hand combat.
Also, if it's sharp enough a regular hatchet will scalp just as well as a tomahawk.
Did you guys see this shit?

So after missing out on the first few patches I immediately clicked the 4chan advertised link for outpatches and got one! Apparently it took "too long" to ship so the dude gave me the red one free. 14 bucks total. Did I do good out? I'm just happy to finally have one :)
>>631703
Lol gay, you don't actually wear autism badges do you?
>>631704
does it look like they're being worn? I might put em on a pack or something, but for now I just really wanted to have one lol. The second was a pleasant surprise.
>>631703
imho they don't look as good as the others. I bought the pvc and sc/out/ patch from kommando store. I think the pvc was like 6$ (quality was excellent in the end) and the sc/out/ was $1.
In the end if you are happy with them though, that's the main thing. The thing is they aren't standardized. And also sometimes hard to come by.
Name your top one or two
Ok I will play.
Taos
Ouray
Towns? That's hard to pin down.
As a masshole I'll say Greenfield, MA just for Mt. Greylock.
Western massachusetts has some great hiking!
