Can I train a goat to carry my stuff while hiking? Is this feasible or am I fooling myself?
It is a thing that people do. You have to make sure the trail you are hiking allows pack animals. It can get very expensive when you factor in the cost of the animal, vet bills, and food. I would rather invest my money in good ultralight backpacking gear.

Alpacas are a far better choice. They also make better companions/pets.

Pack goats are a thing. The ranch I elk hunt on uses them when packing big base camps in. They are really good on narrow trails, better than horses and burros.
You can rent them from High Unita to see if you like them.
GPS and Navigation General
>Devices
>Apps
>Maps
So what's the best way to have maps/navigation on a smartphone when out of cell service?
Will be for both hiking and off road motorbiking trips
Where do you get your maps?
Is .gpx the gold standard (for poor cunts)?
>>754053
I use the "geo tracker" app. I download .gpx routes from websites like "thewalkingenglishman" and use that when I'm out hiking. It doesn't require signal and instead works entirely off gps.
The only problem is battery life. I figure with a compass you could save some battery life and just use your GPS now and then to check you're on the right route.
Alternatively just buy a gps. They're purpose built and have better battery life.
>>754053
.gpx is the golden standard yeah. being out of cell service shouldn't matter for gps apps as they contact satellites not the phone network.
Random but I am planning an expedition this summer -- none of it is really .gpx logged (yet) what I am thinking of is using OS (ordnance survey) and IGN (french equivalent) online mapping and exporting expanded route maps as PDF or something to access on a kindle for the battery life. Obviously this means navigating by hand but should save a lot of space and money vs...

learn compass & map and do NOT rely on an electronic device that can fail, run out of charge, get wet and die, etc, etc etc.
Hey fags and fagettes
Anyone know of any noice spots near Aberdeen, Scotland? I'm planning a camping trip with some friends later this month and it will be our first time in this area. Wondered if anyone knows any little secret chill spots /out/ the countryside to camp. Preferably somewhere not much more than an hour away by bus, would be much appreciated.
this is a slow board, bumping is NOT required.
I am Scottish (not from Aberdeen), are you a Scot or a foreigner?
Being in aberdeen you are right next to the cairngorms where ive done my fair share of solo camping and hill walking. Would be longer than an hour to get to these spots, but they are very chill and isolated.
However, it has been a very late winter and even I am having doubts about a 5 day 9 munro challenge on rannoch moor planned for a fortnights time.
Was just north of loch lomand last week and had to call it a day and come off the hill due to blizzard conditions.
I can give you locations but they would take about 2 hours to get there, not including the walk in.

Yea i'm thinkin Cairngorms for sure if we don't find any closer, winter has been late but we're not planning on doing much walking once we're there besides to/from site, mostly smokin. If you know some good spots there, would be great thanks mate, are the cairngorms easy to get lost in? We probably wouldn't be looking to go somewhere too far off the path because...

Does anyone hunt with a bb gun? Got some crows in my yard that need to go and i have a bb gun that shoots .177 at 250 fps will that be enough to get them humanly or do i need something better? Pic related is my shit bb gun
if you want to scare them off/annoy them use your red ryder. if you want them dead get a Gamo break action pellet rifle and some decent pellets. Also shot placement, try for the head/neck/chest, sometimes a wing shot will deflect or just wound.
t. sKout
>>754003
I had that in NZ. Good "rifle". It vibrates in an unusual manner after each shot. The stock scope is dog shit. 8/10 would buy again.
>>754003
How much does this usually cost?
Apparently homeslice was afraid of not having enough fun. What would you bring on the show?
>>753830
>bring on the show?
Something that easily starts fires or a machete.
Also, I wouldn't go to Leishmaniasis sandfly territory, or other places with nasty diseases you're definitely going to catch. Not worth it.

So, what can /out/ teach me about dispersed camping? Planning on going to pic related with a friend this summer. Also, any other good places for dispersed camping in PA?
>>753752
bump, interested in dispersed camping as well
Wow this board is slower than I thought
Make sure you have a license or a hunting/fishing one at least.
That's how it is in VA at least. Look into the WMA's for your state too! Have fun!

Moin. Woher kommt ihr, wie alt seid ihr und was macht ihr so?
Ist /out/ in eurer Nähe möglich?
Was war eurer längster trip?
Was ist für diesen Sommer geplant ?
18/m/student hier.
In Essen und Umgebung gibt es einige Wälder und Felder. Für diesen Sommer ist min ein Querfeldeincamping geplant. 24-48 out. Irgendwo hin fahren, Querfeldein laufen und da campen
>>753188
Schwarzwald läuft, ist aber sehr zugebaut, will wieder nach Norwegen oder Kanada
Schwabe hier... Im Sommer in den Schwarzwald aber ansonsten sieht es mau aus. Wobei ich mittlerweile immer mehr drauf scheiße, in irgendwelche Wälder gehe und einfach mein Ding mache.
Zum Glück wurde ich noch nicht erschossen...
Deutschland ist einfach zu dicht besiedelt und die scheiß Politik meint wir würden aussterben. Mich kotzt das immer mehr an und ich überlege mich hier zu verpissen.
Is trophy hunting /out/ approved?
>>750836
Hunting just for trophies is kind of gay.
Very poor posing. Looks like the hunters are bumming the bears.
Yea boi

The American Geode team visited abandoned ghost town Centralia, PA to explore this old coal town that had been abandoned, demolished and condemned in the 1990s due to an underground coal mine fire raging since the early 1960s.
Here are more photos of Centralia, PA.

This might sound like a dumb one, but:
If a National Forest says I can only camp there for 14 days, does the 14 day limit "reset" if I move to another campground in the same National Forest?
>>738921
Rules are really more like guidelines.
But in any case AFAIK yes, the 14 day limit is for a single stationary camp. Mostly to keep people from setting up shanties and just living there. If you break camp and go somewhere else it resets.
>>738921
Yeah, you have to move like a mile and you can camp again
Should I just call the Ranger's office if I want to find out if it's legal for me to carry a firearm (long gun or pistol) while innapark without a permit?
It'd most likely be open carry, obviously

K, feel free to leave the thread then.
Decades ago, when you had nothing to do on the last day of the week, shops were closed and no entertaining sources were available, classifying your SUNDAYS as monotonous was the logical thing to do. What about today?
http://plugnstay.com/why-we-hate-mondays-and-find-sundays-so-boring/
>>755893
Every day is a Sunday if you decide to call out sick.
Or if you're a NEET.
Seriously though, by like 1pm on Sundays, I start to feel like shit. It sucks. Need more 3-day weekends so I have more than one day to actually enjoy myself. It's hard to even sleep in on Sundays since I have to be up at 4:30a on Monday morning.
