i lost track of him sometime around all his skwautch nonsense a couple years ago

He's still doing new episodes of survivor man.

>>661433
I've always seen him as a businessman. He does what his audience wants. Can't say I'm disappointed, but I wish he did the thing that made him a celebrity. The bigfoot series was bullshit.

>He's still doing new episodes of survivor man.
I hope he is.

>these are actual concerns in USA, along with bumping into ghetto thugs or trigger happy autists

>>654693
So you're here to tell me that no one in the world outside of the US illegally produces drugs?

>>654727
Nope, just you and Columbia

>>660616
America is pretty big so if you don't want to hitchhike, the bike is a better bet than feet, though people have walked it. Our very own Tourfat biked it with no preperation, and so can you.

>What do?
Go for a weekend trip, then a week, get a feel for what it's like, and it won't be as scary.

You may find you don't if you are in control of it.

>Tourfat

Yep and there was also bamboo bike bro and postie bro in Aus.

>>660644

No, I get motion sickness whether I am driving or not. Had a learner's permit thinking the same thing and no, still sick.

Have fun getting murdered by a cult and/or the military.

Could this be fertile ground for a MGTOW mancamp?

Aquaponics creates excellent plant growth in a limited amount of space. But you live in a sunny, warm country with plenty of farmland. So whatever you grow will probably cost more than your competition so what's your angle? You need to figure that out first before you start delving into what grow-lights or aquaponics system you should buy.

What kinds of specialty produce can you grow that isn't being covered by the market already, but yet has enough demand that you can sell everything you produce?

Are there ethnic minorities of substantial population from say, China, who miss specialty ingredients like Chinese Watercress (Ipomoea aquatica)?

You need to figure that out first and do all the math before you get started, or least start out small as a side business and try to grow it slowly.

dont listen to this idiot

just read up man
if you cant understand the material then find better material

>>665538
Not green. You know how plants look green to us? That's because they reflect green light. Stick with red, warm white, cool white, blue. Do research wavelengths, see what works best for photosynthesis (general ranges as well as individual plant preferences).

>>665544 has some good points.

>>665547 too, except his first sentence.

>>659138
What backpack?

I think you're supposed to reverse google image his pic or read the name of the pic. The few seconds OP saved not typing it out will add years of happiness to his/her life.

you are me... that's just weird your trip is almost pretty close ish to mine, I also live in WI but was planning more for the summer

anyroad, here are the things that that im doing :

West Yellowstone and Big Sky mt. Montana

Bob Marshall Wilderness - longer ~ 2 day hike to the top and back of prairie reef I was there it was epic

kayaking in Seattle, Lopez island

Six Rivers National Forest

some trails near Boulder CO and the Arapaho National Forest

and finally the Pawnee National Grassland

I was also at the badlands cool but not worth a whole day in my opinion half day at best but when i was there it was super hot and that's not really my preferred temp it will probably be better when/if you are there in the spring

>>665456
Last year I went to South Dakota Badlands/Black Hills combo. Black Hills was a lot cooler than badlands.

What's at pawnee national grassland?

I love listening to bands like Agalloch when /out/, really gives you that lonely forest feel and makes you appreciate the woods, really changes the experience for me. Also Empyrium.

Awww shit is it time? Love me some music threads.

I like pussy, never kept me from doing what I wanted.

Why forego, why not both?

>>650795
Hike the AT, there's pussy in every town along the way that knows you're just passing through and they love the idea of the strong, self-sufficient man.

Like most of you have a choice.

Go ahead and pretend you are "foregoing" women so you can spend more time squatting in the neighborhood park, or being fat under a tarp.

It's more out than most jobs, but it's not at all being close to nature.

Prepare to have your world turned upside down with the politics of the fire service. It's the most disheartening experience of my life. The system is so broken, and inefficient it's a literal waste of tax payer money.

Did 3 seasons, one as a captain, and had to report a guy for swimming while we were on the clock. He got fired on the spot.

It's boring as shit, and the work is pretty demanding in waves. Also you don't get to choose your company, and that makes or breaks the job.

Have fun your first year. Don't lose sight that your position is being happy to be on a big red truck. Then get out before it taints you.

>>664201
Damn son you sound bitter as coffee.
Really bummed me out.

I just wanted to chop trees and throw flares into the woods

>>664201
damn, what agency/park/forest did you work for? All the fire guys I know love their job. Also...wouldn't swimming on the clock, you know, be highly discouraged?

Most of fire seems not to mind doing PT and tool maintenance when they're not on actually on a fire.

If you live anywhere with true 4 seasons you will find out pretty quickly why you dont want a "four season" tent

4 season tents are heavy and bulky

Where are you going op? Extreme alpine adventures or Limeyand?

>>658482
4 season tents are designed for "all four seasons," so you would be able to use it in the summer too. It's a nylon cave that protects you from the elements, not much can go wrong. The main disadvantage would be the weight. Winter tents need to deal with snow-loading on the side walls and potentially the roof, so they are built extra strong, which results in extra weight and bulk.

Another, not so obvious, disadvantage is that winter tents are often made to minimize ventilation - if there's a constant breeze coming into your tent in the winter, it will chill you faster than if the inside were more protected from the elements. At the opposite end of the spectrum, summer and 3-season tents are made to maximize ventilation, and there's a reason for this: internal condensation.

The inside of a tent is always going to be warmer and more humid than the cool night air outside. That means that condensation builds up on the inside of your tent through the night. This is water that can become significant and drip down onto your sleeping bag, and which, at the extreme, could be a danger to your safety. The less ventilated design of a winter tent is a compromise, even in the winter. Trust me, you WANT lots of mesh to be used in the inner walls of your tent in order to maximize ventilation as much as possible. Staying dry at night is paramount in wilderness safety, even in the summer.

Considering that winter tents are also more expensive, I really wouldn't get one as my only tent. You can use a 3-season tent in the winter if it's not snowing hard, and if it does snow hard, you just get out of the tent periodically to brush off snow. Most of your camping will be in non-snowy conditions, though. To contrast, your 4-season tent will be heavy and balmy the majority of the time you're in it, with the extra strength only paying off maybe once or twice every few years, unless you are a serious alpine camper, in which case you wouldn't be asking here.

Feel free to bitch as well, get all those frustrations out anons

Bitching general

>>650849
Maybe you should be less of a bitch and learn how to change tactics.

Fishing isn't just sitting in the same spot with the same bait hoping to get the same fish.

It takes skill and understanding that's why its called fishing not catching.

On a side note got skunked today but it happens so no worry.

>>650857
So are you saying that fish bite the same in cold water as they do in warm?

Also how is throwing smelly bait that I know they love a tactic that needs changing?

>>665141
You should start with a decent pair of binoculars (I have 7x50s) and a star chart app for your phone, to learn your way around the sky. Then think about getting a telescope.

Wiggy?

The highest quality tent you can get is a used coleman off craigslist. These fucking idiots think you should buy an expensive tent are idiots man! Most of the time I just use this tarp I got from harbor freight and since I never needed anything else these faggots who are sitting iside on facebook sure as hell dont/

A nice black label Hilliberg is advised.
