So I've tried to make this thread in /x/ before but not a lot of those guys have really been /out/side that much. So I want to know your weird and scary experiences while trekking, camping etc. Not scared like when a bear clawed your scalp on your face kinda scared, I mean the supernatural type.

You can't really blame retards for acting retarded, OP.
Visiting Oregon in a few weeks. Are there any places that are a must see? Best places to hike? Flying into Portland and staying for about 5 days.
Multnoma falls for the tourist experience. Saddle mountain and Dog mountain are both nice hikes and depending on what kind of vehicle you have the logging roads off of 26 make for some great innawoods areas. When I lived there my favorite was N. Wolf Creek, the entrance is at mile marker 36 on Highway 26 about an hour west of Portland.
Places in Portland that are cool to visit are the Kennedy school and the portland city grill.

I was looking at Multnomah falls. But I'm not all for the touristy experience. Still have never seen a waterfall. I'm really looking for kind of mountainside hikes. Also was wondering if you could camp anywhere in the forests, or if you have to be at an actual camp site.
>>749410
>never seen a waterfall
Some people go apeshit over them
>camp anywhere in the forests
If it is national forest or BLM land, the answer is usually yes
/out/ how can I optimize sawyer's mini usage? I mean i don't lile to drink directly from the filter so I always do pic related, the problem is it takes a while and it takes a couple times to fill my 1.5l water bottle because sawyer's water bag it's a shit to fill. Does anyone knows some tips to take maximum performance from it?
While hiking keep a catheter inserted into your penis and use the pouch as a fill bag, this way you can fill it directly while hiking and not waste time. Just like astronauts!
>>749239
Apparently the platypus bags fit on the sawyer.
>>749239
How much will the Sawyer bag hold?
I might plan a trip to Greenland for next year to hike from village to village. However, I don't know anything about this country. Anyone has had any travel experiences in Greenland? How was it? Share the stories if you will.
Everything Greenland related is welcomed

It isn't as green as Iceland.

I lived in Nuuk from 1995 to 1999 (moved from there the day i turned 5), but I remember how it was and know general things about the country. So if you have any more specific questions, I can try to answer them.

Where do you live now? Denmark?
Hey guys, anyone know of places to camp in Michigan? I've googled of course but most places appear to get a lot of campers, and I'm looking for something a bit more...secluded?
Sorry if this is a little open ended, or broad. Even if you guys know of some places outside of Michigan but still in the surrounding states. Most of my friends are shut ins so they're of little help.
How secluded you want and how far do you want to drive? Where do you live? Pigeon River area is about as secluded as it gets in the Lower Peninsula. Huron Manistee National Forest is pretty good too, I spend a lot of time there. I don't know how you can't find something in Michigan, it's a paradise for camping. The whole UP is practically a campground
>>749078
the DNR has a map of parks and campgrounds
http://www.michigandnr.com/parksandtrails/#map-tab
>>749078
Well, if you want secluded, what could be better than an island in a lake on an island that's a national park in a lake? You'd probably need an amphibious vehicle to get there.

Any sc/out/ want a kydex sheath for a USMC Ka Bar? Dont need it anymore. Hate to just thow it away.
Feel free to post shit you would like to get rid of. Maybe some less fortunate sc/out/ could use it.
I would love to have that. I'm in Houston tx . USA. I have some small cans of gas for a those 3 prong stoves I have more use for.

Wild Australia with Ray Mears
>Not following frontierspeople's ways
>Not learning indigenous hunting and cooking techniques
>Whale watching from a tourist boat
I'm not sure I like this.
>>748881
What the fuck?! I like watch ray for the smug bastard making fire in 2 seconds from wet logs then cooking some local animal and saying its delicious every single time.
>>748881
He's so old now :(
Also fuck Australia. Take Mel Gibson back.
I'd watch a hundred hours of him whittling by a camp fire while exchanging stories with other old fucks from around the world.
But a travel show?

Have you done your part in the fight against invasive species, /out/?
I spent all day Saturday removing Garlic Mustard from 43 acres of woodland.
Be sure to get it soon! It comes up early, another week or so and it'll be hidden by the native species.
>>748811
Do you do anything with it as far as food or flavoring?
I thought I read that some anon likes to eat it, but after reading the wikipedia article, it doesn't sound like people eat the plant on its own. Plus what the article said made it sound like the mature and flowering plants aren't really good for flavoring.
>>748825
Just feed it to pigs. It's pretty worthless.
>>748835
Reminds me, I really want to go boar hunting one day. With an M60 or something ridiculous. Chop em down.
Have you tried any recipes or even nibbled on the young garlic mustard? Does it seem appetizing at all?
Hey sc/out/s, how do I into deer hunting as a newbie? I've no hunting experience because my family are fairly anti-gun and you can't now hunt in Ireland but sod them, it's what I want to do, I just don't know how to do it
Also hunting general
Bow hunt*

Get 3 greyhounds and let them do the work

Really want to do the PCT next year. Need to know how much it will cost in total to do the PCT?
Also, I'll be coming from the UK to do it, so stuff like visas and flights will make it more. Anything else I'll need to come from UK?
Thanks guys

>>748435
Best advice I have for you is if you stop to resupply in Redding make sure you don't look like the gutter trash I try to run over every day.
how much gear do you already own?
how much do you hike?
what's the longest hike you've done?
what's the longest you've been /out/?
also, >>>/trv/ will probably be more help with flights and visas
Rock noob here, so I picked up this rock the other day and immediately thought that this is a flint rock, but it was not like any other flint I've ever seen. Are there any geologists here that can help me identify this rock, and tell me how valuable/rare is it. Rock was from Jordan btw. Thank you.
I finally did it guys. I planned my first hiking weekend in about a year from now. I'm pretty damn excited.
I wanted to ask you guys what do I need to know? What are the chances i'll be murdered?
Of course, i'll have all of the tools and I have some camping experience such as how to set up tent and how to build a fire.
I'll have a friend come with me but he never hiked before either. Any good spots to hike in upstate New York?
Pic somewhat related, it was my fishing trip down at delaware river.
>in about a year from now
you planned a year ahead for a weekend hike?
>>748136
I didn't make strict plans. More like an idea. I'm just excited and wanted to talk about it because i've never been on an outdoors trip before especially without my family.
why are you waiting a year?
Man, i listened to you guys and i watched season 1 of alone and the first episode of season 2. It was awesome. However, it has inspired me. I would love to test myself and see how long i could last with a select amount of items, except i would bring a rifle and maybe even a pistol with me. I think it would be really neat researching the type of semi permanent structure to build that could fend off wind and rain but sustain heat, hunting game, setting traps for small game marine life, and nets for salmon cod rockfish etc. I would have to bring books with me though, a lot of them...

Every day, man. Going to school in the city blows

i always laugh when people say they'd need something to keep them busy as if hunting and checking your traps and checking your fishing nets and collecting firewood and improving your shelter isn't too much work already
So, I have been traveling a bit in my shit suv. Saying I am lonely would be an understatement. Now, I hate people, so the best possible option would be to get a doggy companion for my travels and trips.
I do not really care what kind of dog it is, probs not too big because there is not much suv room. But, how happy can a dog be in that situation? Moving around all the time and occasionally sleeping in a slightly cramped car?
I really do love dogs, and I am sure a companion would make me a little happier. But is it an okay thing to do? Take an animal from a shelter...

Get a fucking job and an apartment or something, then get a dog.
>>747812
Shelters won't adopt out a dog unless you can provide a home address.
I would say as long as it isn't a large breed it should be fine. Stick to smaller breeds.
Also keep in mind while it will help with loneliness it will also help motivate you to be more active. Depression has a tendency to make people unmotivated and want to sleep a lot and with a dog you will have a reason to see to something else needs besides your own.
And finally while it may not be the ideal home setting for a small dog it's a damn sight better than sitting in a shelter awaiting it's fate.
