I want to go /out/ but I don't have any friends and I don't know anything about anything. I feel like if I went hiking or camping I wouldn't be able to appreciate nature and I'd get bored or eaten by insects.
If I had an /out/ buddy could they show me the greatness of the outdoors? How would I meet an /out/ pal

Do you have any friends that you could go on a camping trip with? Maybe a few friends would like the idea. Get a tent, cooler of beer, some hot dogs, few sleeping bags, and hit up a campground.find a hiking trail for during the day, camp at night, have a few beers. Might spark their interests.
If you're in college look for social groups, they often have outdoor clubs.
Check out online forums, often there will be local area subforums with meetups, group camping trips, ect.
Go to church? Maybe start an outdoor group there if you're involved in church.
Have a girlfriend? Maybe she could like hiking. If not, start online dating, find a girl. Problem solved.
Any camping/sporting goods stores around? Ones run by local people? Go there, often they will be aware of outdoor clubs/groups.

Don't have any friends, not in college, don't go to church. I would take my girlfriend /out/ but I want to know what I'm doing first. Was hoping to find an /out/ friendo who could show me the ropes
Volunteer for a trail work party, meet /out/ people and make friends.

#1 Are you capable of walking ?
#2 Can you pick out clothing with respect to temperature and precipitation ?
If you answered yes to both these questions you are capable of going out! Yes it really is that simple. You aren't going on expedition, you are simply walking on roads/paths/trails, I am sure you can handle it.

you do realize that 4chan is sketchier than craigslist right?
i don't think i would meet up with anyone i met on 4chan unless it's in a very public place and i can carry a gun.

You don't need friends to go /out/. I used the time while belong alone when /out/, to study plants and mushrooms. Nice to bring less food when I go /out/ and know t of can find tasty edibles.

I've meet prob close to 30 ppl from 4chan, from a mixture of /k/ and /soc/ meet ups. Craiglist has been a lot creepier.

how many dicks you had to suck at these meets?
did you get aids?

> charlie sheen is not on 4chan
>>636883
how did you learn which ones were edible by only researching them?
Just learn the basics on your own.
>how to build a fire
>how to pitch a tent
>how to use a compass
>how to read a map
>how to protect food from bears if that is an issue where you live
The rest is just learn as you go. Take longer and longer hikes. Start with day hikes on trails, then do some over night stuff, then do some multi-day stuff. Start with trail hiking and once you get comfortable that you know what you are doing move on to some more cross country stuff.

Try joining a tour group or some shit.

What's this badge/picture? I see it posted here a bit
>>634944
You still have options. No reason why you and your girl can't learn together. You really don't need to know how to do anything to sleep in a tent at a campground.
>>636887
None. Maybe if /fit/ showed up I might. Just cause I suck a dick, doesn't mean I don't have body standards.
No homo.
