What if we had a meetup in Sedona ?
We could have a basecamp with an RV or two near a trail head then a more serious camp a few miles in.
It has been suggested that there is many a cairn to kick for those that are into that sort of thing...
>>631332
Bring firearms and local anon will disclose one of the nicest places for target shooting.

Awesome, ease of access camping in the Munds Mountain Wilderness. Just gotta hike in a few miles. You can park your vehicles at the trailhead.
New Camp Aesthetics niggas!

noice
thanks based alfie
What's the big deal? I get cairns to some extent, they look fucking dumb on the side of the trail. Geocaches on the other hand, when done correctly, are barely noticeable even when you're looking for them. Are you guys really so pretentious about being /out/ that you have to fuck up the fun of a child geocaching with his dad?
>>629227
making fun of, and kicking down cairns is just an edgy /out/ meme.
Normal people don't really give a shit.

wow, that looks really stupid.

I'm thinking of buying a mora. I have never owned a fixed blade, only a swiss army knife but its a bit messed up from using it to smash limpets off rocks.
What would be the best mora for general purpose outdoors? Or would a different knife altogether be better? everything suggests the moras are hard to beat but there are like 100 different models.
anyone?
>>628890
Moras are a good knife, but they can run on the expensive side.
Depending on what you need and use it for, you can get away with getting something that isn't $600.
What do you intend to use it for?
Personally, I dont fancy them
well thanks for nothing /out/.
Are binoculars worth spending more than $200?
Discuss.
Yes, a good pair of binos will last you basically forever. If you're actually gonna use them, it's a good investment.
As long as you actually use them, good pair of nocks will last basically forever and if you take care of them they're worth their value.
I own about 52 acres in southeast Tennessee and it's way out of the way. The property is almost entirely forest and I've known there's a cave somewhere on the property for a while now. Any ideas on how I could go about finding it?
Look for it with your eyes
>>627863
Do you have a cave sniffing dog?
52 acres isn't that big for exploration. Spend a day or two wandering around and you'll find it
Couldnt find no shroom thread on /out/.
Any pickers had any good find since were coming to the end of the season?
Also any trip stories? Theyre always good!
Picture related, my favourite looking finds from early oct!
I went searching twice but didn't find a single shroom
austria here, went on cow paddocks on about 700-900 meters above sea ground

Me and my brother (both into mycology, brother is an expert of identification imo) found a patch of land home to a ton of Banded Mottlegills in this grassy park where you'd often see rabbits and their shit. We'd come down every week to harvest and eat some together just to have a fun time. Alot of the vibrant visions and euthoric feelings were shared so we never felt alone... It's honestly been the best autumn I've ever had!
>>626899
They are not always in the ideal locations imo, ive found dozens in habitats that you wouldnt think produce!
>>626902
Sounds like great bonding time, taking some in the open is something ive been sketchy about but im glad you had a great time, they always make this time of year eventful!

The handles on that rc4 look great
Op I will throw you a bone and get this thread rolling (or not, lel) with a bit of controversy.
Bark River, some people hate some people love, and some people think they know ore about knives/knife making then them.
Some people always talk about how they fucked up with heat threat and how their blades break, well Mike Stewart said in this video that they only had like 5 broken knives in the last 15 years. Also he praised their heat treatment, a lot.

This Lawsuit Says Animal Planet Is Doing Some Really Insane Things
The beleaguered network's latest debacle involves some seriously shady antics in the woods.
A Kentucky farmer has accused Animal Planet of setting a fire, damming a creek, chopping down trees, and illegally trespassing and building structures on his property during the production of the reality TV show Call of the Wildman.
Scandal is all too familiar for viewers...

But behind the scenes, J.D. Long, a 54-year-old resident of the rural hamlet of Liberty, Kentucky, says the show's producers came onto his approximately 49-acre property after his sister, who lives there, explicitly told them they weren't welcome. Long was furious when his sister told him that the team had built the tree house at least partly out of lumber he says they logged on his land.
(One of Long's lawyers, Andrew Trimble, says he saw multiple tree stumps at the site during a survey—consistent,...

But the most bizarre part of the incident, Long says, came in the middle of the night some months after filming had wrapped up—around November 20, 2014—when he woke to the sound of machinery. "My sister jumped out of bed, she was scared to death," he said. "It made this whizzing that sounded like the whole neighborhood was going to blow up." He called 911.
It turned out the whizzing was coming from a crane, Long said, which had arrived under the cover of darkness to tear down the tree...

Animal Planet and Sharp Entertainment—the New York-based production company that makes the show—did not respond to repeat attempts to seek an interview for this article. Neither did attorneys Rebecca Schafer and Emily Newman, from the Louisville legal firm representing the bulk of the defendants. Schafer and Newman filed documents asking the court to dismiss the case in May and denied all the central allegations. The judge has yet to rule on that request.
In March, Long filed a suit against Animal Planet...

That is a true statement.
You're not wrong, OP

Hey, I've been borrowing my brothers golite nest tent for a while but will no longer be able to use it.
I have been looking for a while to replace it but golite no longer makes this tent, it's honestly the best tent I've ever used as far as weight saving while still being roomy.
Used it in Utah, was great to leave the tarp off and look at the stars, used it in New Zealand and kept me nice and dry.
So I'm looking for essentially the same tent if anyone has any suggestions, hell I'd buy it off one of you if you have one and dont want it anymore.

GoLite went bankrupt and I don't think they are coming back. Too bad because they made some top notch gear at good prices.
A Tarptent protrail is probably pretty close, but almost certainly heavier. Their stuff is well made and well thought out though.
I have spent some nights in a Seek Outside BT2 and can tell you that it fits the ultralight minimalist niche really well. Probably lighter than your GoLite and just as stout.
Last ditch would be to get hold of the Jimmy Tarps guy and see if he...

Go lite is coming back with a different name. I forget what but they emailed me to get the word out.

Lot of good that email did them.
I would like to enjoy the outdoors but I have autism. Do you think this will impede my ability to have fun outdoors? Are there outdoor groups for people with much autism?
>>634288
>Are there outdoor groups for people with much autism?
Either /out/ or /k/ would work.
>>634288
I don't know if there are groups (other than /out/, that is), but it certainly shouldn't impede things.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that a few studies suggested time spent out was actually beneficial for people with things like autism and ADD.
So go for it.
>>634288
>groups
I have a dose of the 'tism and relish the chance to be alone and mutter retarded shit to myself with no fear of judgment or observation.
I want to Solo Mt. Kilimanjaro. Advice me please. Death is not a concern

Thanks for the help, big guy ;)

Would you prefer to die before or after you reach the summit?
