You think that you are alone in the woods, but you're not. I'm out there, watching you.

I do this too.
You're hiking down a path and you see an able bodied adult human male walking towards you. The path is very narrow and only one person can path through. You have a concealed loaded gun. What do you do?

Magdump?
>>629265
You magdump the hiker but now you have alerted a pack of wolves in the bushes and lost all possible element of surprise on them, they are going to attack you and your girlfriend, what do you do?

Snagged this nice sunrise the other day outside Boston. Post your best sunrise/sunset pics!
North or south? Is this Duxbury?
Also idunno if this counts. It's not good because I did anything well, it's good because it was quite the weather.
>>629196

As a child I loved it!<3 You?
Looking for a versatile jacket for winter. I'd like something that I can wear at 40 degrees and be comfy, but able to layer and scale my comfort down to the single digits or lower.
I want something that is durable outdoors without making me look like an old Vietnam vet in some milsurp gear.
Any suggestions?
>>629108
What's your budget range?
>>629143
The cheaper the better, as I appreciate value. Less than $200 is good, an option under $100 would be a must buy for me.
>>629143
Be careful how you answer this.
General /out/ appreciation thread.
What are your favorite /out/ moments, activities, experiences?
>live in TN
>have about 26 acres of woodland, ponds, streams
>set up a fire next to one of the ponds, catch catfish, and cook them on the spot
the sound of sizzlin' fish and a good fire are two of my favorite things in the world

>What are your favorite /out/ moments, activities, experiences
Fucking my qt ex-fuckbuddy in the riverbank.
>kissing her with the water on our waist level and then procede to have sex in that rough sand
Fuck, even though she had an huge crush on me and I didn't feel the same way, I miss those moments.

This sounds amazing
excursion military in the mountains, outdoor exercise and survival
What is that rifle? Is that a Sig? Are you Swiss?
>>628831
Yes, sig 550 rifle
Like this?
So, I've noticed a common denominator among many video game heroes. Their shoes never seem to wear out; lava rock jumping, river wading, ocean swimming, ship sailing, and dragon slaying notwithstanding. Their boots are always doing their job, and not getting those pesky rips, or anything like that.
Now, I know this is all from a fantasy setting, but I want to know if such a make of boots exist. And if so, are they available for purchase?
Thoughts, /out/?
And just to clarify, I'm talking like, adventure quality boots. Foot armor you can wear on the daily and do just about anything in them, from climbing fences, to hiking up mountains, to running around in the woods, to hunting wild boar with a spear.

Wow the basement must be a magical place
Morning, sc/out/s.
I'm planning a sort of national parks tour for the summer, where I'll be dispersed camping my lonesome way east to west across the States.
I'll be in bear and cougar and wolf territory, for the first real time ever (never encountered a grey wolf in Michigan)
So I was curious about defense, and how to properly protect myself.
Is avoidance the way to go? running into dangerous wildlife seems like something that can just happen, despite precautions.
I do own and would probably be taking my bolt .22, for small game and the...

You can carry rifles in all the national parks and I would highly advise. Wolves are becoming much more of a problem but not nearly as bad as mountain lions and bears.
So yes bring a rifle and maybe a backup pistol if you get stuck cornered in a tree or middle of the night. Practice shooting moving targets because these animals are very fast.
>>628772
Thanks, Anon.
Bump.
>>628758
Take a can of bear spray, it works on wolves for sure.
How does this patch signify geopooping?
It just looks like a geocatching patch.
What am I missing?
it's a reference to the original geo cache shitter thread.
the color implies biological contents, harmless contents is a joke that people put on their grocache boxes AFTER they shit in them... the geared out hiker signifies a sc/out/ who has been roaming all day and happened to come across a geocache, in which he shits in.
it's meant to be a subtle patch, and it does a good job. you'd only get it if you were in the first few geoshitter threads, knew the color code for biological material, or understood the significance of "harmless contents"...

>you'd only get it if you were in the first few geoshitter thread
I was in all of those threads, as I recall this was a joke by ONE anon that kinda fell flat on its face.
Since no one else had made a geoshitter patch, the patch guy went with this one.
It is too obscure.

Patch Anon here. I wanted to keep it low key. The only Mod I have though about for this patch is to make it the shape of a turd. Matching something like this.
Moving to Canada from UK in the new year, a large factor is better /out/.
But also either furthering or changing career.
Anyone packed up their lives and just went somewhere they thought was better?
Any tips on settling in to Canada and making /out/ buddies? Wife enjoys camping, but have to go easier when out with her.

Which province do you plan to go?

Bc first... Vancouver for the film work, but planning to travel about.

Your best bet to find /out/ friends is rural areas, there are plenty of them. Most people are pretty friendly, just strike up conversation when you find an area you wanna camp. Eventually you'll find someone with interest. Find some parties/bars and just mingle is what I'd recommend. For getting used to Canada, get used to the weather. It gets very cold in deep winter, BC is milder than where I am from but your still going to need a good winter jacket. I'd recommend checking out some snowboard/ski shops,...

Its fall and Christmas time will soon be upon us. Post some comfy fuckin out pictures and any plans or traditions that you have.
Plans are to fill my other deer tag and try out a few new recipes with the family.

/wg/ faggot
I spend the winter begging my friends to go winter cambin but I can never really get them to go. Once we went in April when it was still icey and crispy but it wasn't deep winter. We do however get drunk and wander around the train tracks and industrial areas, which is incredibly fun, and I always take pics.
Last winter was so snowy I got bored taking cold bleak snow pics so I went out and took a shot not of snow, but of "snowing". It was kinda neat, maybe not cozy idk.
Pic related: The skrama, a heavy knife mostly meant for chopping wood and similar things, but also usable as a common knife. The concept seems pretty similar to the kukri to me, and I was wondering what /out/ thinks about it. Which one is superior, forward curved or (almost) straight blade? What are the advantages and drawbacks?
Seems like a half decent design to me I would love to see one in person now
If you have a kukri on /out/ people will give you shit but if you have a skrama they will say
>oh shit, they're back in stock?
>>628417
I might have to forge one for Myself I like the look of it
I'm really not sure how to feel. On the one hand my state has thousands of free campspots but on the other they are so plentiful that we all feel OK about trashing them.
Do you shit right next to your campsite?
Looks like a homeless camp.
>>628407
Homeless/vagabond anon here. Actually in my experience its the inbetween people that do this. They're like the people camping one time a year, be it a hobo who goes up to the national forests or a family of 5 and the neighbors. They aren't there all the time and don't think about it plus when it comes time to do something with the trash they just toss it in a pile of collected litter before the highway assuming its fine. I mean, realistically every story is different, but we shouldn't give up our...
