Nah.
That's shitty man. Why don't you start a petition with some really good literature advocating the preservation of said land? Talk to people about it. Even though your intentions are solely for yourself it's also a benefit for the wildlife.
Be active about it if it bothers you this much.
Anyone here has thoughts on the Soylent? It seems a good way to economize time and space on the back pack.
You do not metabilize liquids the same way you do with solid food. You will not get anywhere close to the same level of nutrients.

I'd have to test it out at home first to see that it didn't give me the shits
Revisited the abandoned Carolin Gold Mine in southern British Columbia last weekend and completed exploring all 10 kilometers of tunnels and caverns within the mountain, took about 7 hours total (on foot). Dumping photos, most of them taken by me over the last year of visits, some historical photos I've found online, and some good photos taken by others who have explored the site.
This is a general abandoned mines thread, feel free to post about mines near you.

Arriving at the mill Saturday afternoon.
>>767785
The mine was only fully operational between 1982 and 1984, eventually closing down due to a variety of factors, mostly market related. The property was eventually purchased by New Carolin Gold Corp but has never re-entered operation, although the organisation does survey the site on an annual basis and is actively involved in researching the land. The mine is about ~8 kilometers up a logging road that wraps around the mountain only secured by a single gate that is open year round except for the days that New Carolin...

Ok guys I need some help and I think this is the right board. I need to acquire some land as far from civilization as possible in central/eastern Kentucky. What's the first step? I don't need more tha 10 acres.
Check craigslist.
Also try claiming squatter's rights.

Good luck with that.
Anyone climbed Mt. Rainier? I'm going in August and I'm pretty exited.
>>788860
I plan on climbing it in the next couple years
Doing the wonderland trail near the end of september, hoping I don't get rained out
>>788868
I signed up for the Kautz route so we'll see how it is.
>>788860
Damn that's beautiful.
Can anyone help me identify this bug? I haven't seen to have found a reliable source.
>>788602
Assassin bug
>>788602

What do you guys use to deal with pic related when you're innawoods? Tips and tricks for dealing with bugs of all shapes and sizes, particularly black flies and ticks which are going to be a problem for me soon.

Do you guys know of any parks/preserves/hiking areas/wilderness where you can go out and not encounter people on the east coast? Where you can hike/camp and not have to constantly see man-made stuff?
Bonus points if it's near the mid-atlantic region.
>>788103
Can you give a bit of background on that photo?
What mountain is that?
>>788116,
Gee, i wish there was, like, an internet search engine where you can reverse search images
>>788103
the best spots are well-kept secrets. try the southern appalachians, although there is some good stuff in New Hampshire/Vermont.
It's all few and far between. youll have to live somewhere for a few years to actually find the good spots where a Google search turns up almost nothing but the occasional article on a wordpress blog.
I'm going out tonight and spraying some wasp nests. I was told to do it at night. How am I suppose to see. What if they wake up and fuck my shit up? How do I do this?
You don;t have to do it at night. Someone was probably suggesting that cuz they slow down a bit as it cools down.
You could try waking up at 5:00 and hitting them.
>>787432
this. much better than doing it just after dark. you want it cold as possible.
OP do it in the morning just around or before sunrise like these good anons have said.
Also, do you have a GoPro or similar? Or even just a point-and-shoot that takes video? You should setup on a tripod or something and record video of the whole thing. In cast it gets... interesting
A team of mountaineers became lost and stranded after important cairns along their trail were demolished by self-centered wannabe backpackers. Luckily they had a wood burning USB charger on hand and were able to call of rescue, but backpackers really need to be more responsible
>>786923
>wood burning USB charger
Obvious bait. No one actually uses those.
why do backpackers hate mountaineers bros?
They got lost because of hipsters building a shitton of cairns and confusing them to take wrong turns and join their ancestors early.
That's it. It is settled. The best knife on the planet is the Ontario Ranger TFI. With the Ontario RTAK II as a close second followed by the RAT-7.

Want a comfortable handle? Tough luck bitch.

>>785675
The handle is a goddamn orgasm to hold fuck you
>>785677
It's a blocky shitty handle. Slightly better than a handle made of legos.
Could /out/ recommend me a kukri for work use?

I use a BK2 for everything

What are good 8" boots to check out?
I'm starting an internship as a national forest river ranger and need some boots to wear. I have no experience with them so have just been looking. I've heard good things about Justin's and wolverines, what does /out/ suggest?
Get 10 inch you god damned idiot
>>785106
I suggest you look at individual boot reviews. Wolverines have some real pieces of shit that I hated working with for just a day. I personally like Columbia, but I don't wear 8 inch boots just for hiking.
I would suggest testing your first pair of boots.
Considering they should be light, yet gripful.
Go down with the price, maybe around 100$?
Then invest in some good footrub & merano working socks. Working in Boots can be a real torment, so take care of your feet!
>image related
the Irish Setter 8", may be a little too hefty in price. I would even consider it being it too professional.
Hello /out/,
I posted this to /n/ but I figure the true home for this thread is here.
I want to talk canoes. Where do you canoe, what kind of boat do you have, what trips do you take?
I have I have basic fiberglass canoe with no tumblehome and a fairly flat bottom. It's an old design but a new canoe, 14' long. I mostly solo paddle in the oceanic Bay of Nova Scotia on which I live.
So come talk canoes; kayakers also welcome but be sure to try to spell very carefully, so the rest of us can understand you.
>>784730
Note: I'm not Australian. I don't know what happened here.
Nobody here is into canoes or kayaks?
>>784951
yeah but board is very slow.
