This is even cooler OP, and probably even more expensive

The old fuckers that rules the world behind the puppet states.
The sad fact is the only people who can afford these things, it's their toy. They literally have so much money they need to blow it on expensive toys like this to feel good about themselves. They play with it for a month then forget about it and move onto the next toy. Never finding anything that gives them a lasting sense of happiness.
What is objetively the most dngerous /out/ activity?
Off the top of my head some that seem the most dangerous are:
>open water sailing in the Drake Passage
>high altitude climbing
>free rock climbing
>underwater cave exploration

Big cat rape.
Almost no chance of survival.
>boating at night
>boating drunk
>boating drunk at night
statistically drunken waterfaring is one of the most dangerous activites you can do, outside of attempting suicide or other self-destructive behaviors

Besides Alaska, what's the best state to live in for that log cabin in the mountains, snowy winters, tons of game to hunt, lots of fishing, type of /out/ place to live?
I currently live on a farm in Texas and it's boring as fuck. I want some trees and mountains, game to hunt for food, fishing, etc.
It doesn't exist anymore for the plebs. The price of entry for that kind of a place is only attainable by the elite these days.
>>718980
Really? Because I can buy what I want here for less than $400K, excluding the mountains. And the hunting because hardly any public land here. Don't feel like paying to hunt on private land. I'm sure it doesn't cost much more to buy the same house in a more mountainous state. I'm not asking for hundreds or thousands of acres. Just 10-20 adjacent to a National Forest or Public Wilderness
>>718983
For idyllic "cabin in the mountains" you are talking Jackson, WY, Ketchum, ID, Big Sky,MT, etc. $1.0 million is a "starter home" for a "handy man." And it won't have any land. These are the places the movie stars and ultra rich have been buying since the 1980's.
Have you explored a cave, /out/? What was your experience like? inb4 mom's vagina jokes
I have camped in a cave network before. It was serene, echoey, drippy and there was this constant gentle current of air.
I was able to do so because it's a private cave on private land, you can't get away with this in federally owned caves or they'd be full of hobos.
I brought a kamprite tentcot to keep me up off the damp cave floor and to shield me from occasional water droplets from the ceiling. The temp was surprisingly comfy, I didn't need my jacket most of the time.
There's often a stream running down the cave, at least during some of the year, which is handy for carrying your piss away. I shit in a big ziplock bag and packed it out with me.
One really nice thing I thought to bring were chemically self-heating cans of coffee and soup. You turn a key, chemicals mix inside and it self boils right in the can. This let me have hot food down there. Can't make a fire for obvious reasons.

So this Summer I'll be working in Yellowstone National Park from May-August.
It's a full time job, but nothing special (kitchen/restaurant work).
>~35hr/week and 2-3 days off per week.
On the upside, I'm looking forward to some great climbing, trails, and back-country hiking.
I've never been to YNP though, so I'm curious if anyone has some trail suggestions or a "must do" list of other things to do/see while I'm there.
good luck
that's awesome OP! get book related. about half the people or more who die in accidents at jellystone are employees. it would be good to know what mistakes they made on their days off.
also are you a boy or a grill? i stayed there in early May when the place was completely empty and every girl who worked there wanted me to bone the shit out of her. receptionists, front desk clerks, waitresses. i couldn't get them offa my caulk.
>tfw homo and no boys anywhere
>>718762
Yeah, the first thing their HR department told me when I accepted the job was about employee deaths.
I'm a (single) guy, so I do plan to capitalize on that.
Spontaneously bought an eno doublenest hammock with my rei dividend.
Are hammocks just a meme or the comfiest way to enjoy the outdoors?
Comfiest, yes. Most expensive? Will be if you go too deep down the rabbit hole.
there is no such thing as meme

What are those two fish? In Australia we have two very similar species, the top one is like a grinner/Sargent Baker and the bottom one is very similar to our bream.
Dude with a lathe but no wood here. Maybe try turning some green wood and some live edge pieces for a change. But obviously, you aren't going to find such raw material at the Big Orange Retail Giant and the woodworker shops charge a pound of flesh for decent sized hardwood blanks. But I have a park/forest nearby. A deciduous, mature forest packed with red oak, sycamore, ash, maple, osage etc. Last time I came here I brought my Gransfors Bruk axe (because I need at least some reason to own it) and tried to take home some log sections but the tool proved to be totally unfit for purpose.
I need a good folding saw. It has to be big, but be able to fit in a backpack. It's gotta cut fast so I can cut down a tree, grab a piece of the midsection and dash home before park rangers notice. Any ideas?
>>719637
Fuck you.
>>719637
Aside from the obvious legal and moral problems you will be reminded of in posts to come...
I would use a laplander or a cable saw. Cable saw's aren't always extremely fast but they have the benefits of being extremely portable and flexible. I like them because they wrap around the wood and cut more surface area at a time.
The success with either will depend on how /fit/ you are but both are more stealthy than an axe.

Looks fun to play with when you're all stoned. Why would anybody tell you not to get it?

arguments were
>you will get bored really fast
>there is nothing more to discover and thats so false in poland one guy discovered 10 supernovas in 2 years so yeah
Can you legit see galaxies and nebulas and shit like that with these things?
I used to have (a really cheap) one as a kid and did get bored of it kinda fast since all i could see were slightly magnified white dots.

I even had to outfit my old boss with "high tech" shit so he could get wifi to do business while camping with his family while on vacation. So, he had a laptop with a USB wifi dongle fitted into a dish. He said it was the best vacation ever simply because he could get wifi.
I really don't get it at all. Can someone explain this to me? Is it just like all hobbies where the mediocre majority starts to shit it up when it becomes more accessible to them? At least I have the choice of moving to another location and don't need to hear "beep-bloop ding" shit at 2am.
>>711350
80% of th people you see camping, hiking, etc., don't even like it. In fact, most of them are first timers that are giving it a try because they see how cool the photos look or whatever other reason.
Phone gets turned off when I go out. Only piece of electronic gear that I use with frequency is my camera.
Biolite stove is unnecessary.
Solar chargers,, sure at a push could be useful for extended trips to recharge camera batteries and 18650s for my head torch.
>>711355
>most of them are first timers
Likely, I remember when I started to go /out/ by myself (used to hike a lot as a kid with my parents). I bought tons of gimmicks n shit, and was surprised that it was heavy to carry.
Still don't get it why people bring tablets or similar, for me the reason to go out is to disconnect a bit with society and connect a bit more with nature. Bringing electronics sees a bit counter intuitive to me.

Everyone knows that any outdoorsman worth his salt has a green wool beanie.
Post pictures and discuss green wool beanies.
Why are they so good? Why are they so perfect for the outdoors? Why is the green wool beanie the best item of outdoors clothing ever to be invented?
>le fags dont know about grean beanies
A real outdoorsman decides what the best headwear is for him personally.
>>711904
And the decision he inevitably makes is the fabled green beanie
For a long time my father has been asking me to go hunting with him but one thing has always stopped me: I lacked the money to buy or rent a firearm and take the necessary safety courses. This year I got a tax refund over $2000.00 and decided this would be the year I surprise him. His birthday is in August so I figure I'll take a picture of myself in hunting garb w/ the rifle I buy and write "we are hunting this year" on the back.
My problem is I know almost nothing about hunting, firearms, and being an outdoorsman. I don't know how to find rifle ranges to try before I buy in my area nor do I know how to find hunter safety classes/websites with legitimate information for state. I'm hoping you guys can educate me and anybody else who wants to hunt but knows nothing a little bit by answering our questions.
So to start things off, where would a Wisconsinite find legitimate and up-to-date information regarding hunting? What are some good entry-level hunting rifles to consider/why are they worth considering? I'm sure I'll have more questions after getting some answers and I'm hoping others with questions will ASK THEM HERE.
Thanks in advance.
