It would have been more exciting if she had a spear.
What do they do with the dead bears? Bear jerkey? Bearskin rugs?
I need a comrade to join me since my workbuddy can't come.
I will work near Munich soon and have the 11th and 12th of April for a tiny adventure.
My plan is to drive to Ohlstadt, park the car, go into the mountains, get up to Heimgarten, then maybe up to 1750 meters to Herzogstand, enjoy the sun going down, spend the night bivvy-style, see the sun coming up, and walk back. The way itself is about 10km each way with 1200 m difference in height.
The way will provide an epic view into the alps, but technically there will be no climbing or difficulty.
You need a good pair of shoes, warm clothing, a sleeping bag, sleeping mat and a tarp or bivvy bag and some rain protection. I can provide cooking material, food and money (there is a Berghütte on the way, but i'm not sure if it is open yet, if it is, food is on me).
I have a map, am well versed in orienteering and have extensive /out/-experience. The place where we will have our bivvy is near a Schutzhütte, just in case it starts raining.
You can drive with me if you come from Munich (i work near Fürstenfeldbruck and can pick you up Saturday morning) or we can meet in Ohlstadt or somewhere between.
Pic related, it's the view we can expect with some luck (minus the snow and the cold).
Anyone interested? Smaller groups are ok too.
I posted this on /trv/ and a dude answered, but he said he isn't fit.
I'm not exactly /fit/-material either, i work in an office and don't do any sports. That's why i have picked such an easy trek.
Last year i walked three weeks through the Harz mountains (Harzanon) and met a dude from 4chin (Clausthal-Anon) who showed me that you just walk into a gym, take a shower and waltz out, even tho you don't belong and don't fit into the gym-users-class either. We later sneaked to some old Nazi munition factory, a place where we where not supposed to be. The police told us to not enter the area, but we hopped over a fence in the dark. It was a nice thrill.
>>487573
Ah, what a shame.
I would be interested, but I have stuff to do in the evening on the 11th, so I don't think that would work out. And I don't know if I will have a car that day either.
>>487611
Also, some advice.
The 10km will be easy, but if you're not used to it, the 1200m can be quite a lot. However, even a unfit person can do it, just don't give up, and walk in a reasonable pace. Take breaks if you have to, and bring some snacks (cereal bars or whatever).
And check the weather before you go, the week before will be pretty cold with lots of precipitation. I doubt snow will stay in that area, but it doesn't hurt to check some webcams.
Bring Gaiters and waterproof shoes should there be too much snow.
so /out/ has been here for about two years
two years can be a long time
how many sc/out/s do you think have died in action so far
how many posts about their moras will never reach us ?
This is actually quite a nice idea.
If we know anyone that actually died whilst /out/, whether they were Sc/out/s or not, we could honour their names once a year at Easter.
>>493459
When a Sc/out/ dies we should carve their name into a Mora Classic handle and hammer it deep into a tree.
Didn't weird texan die?
Hey guys, Britbong here. A lot of us missed out on the first 50 patches that were generously sent out by the OP. So I've enquired about getting the same design, in sew-on format, made for a second run of patches.
If I order a batch of 50 patches that are 3" across, combined with domestic/international shipping it looks like they'll be £3.50 each.
Anyone interested? I don't want to drop £100 and be stuck with a load of patches. Of course, you can order more than one if you want, and each extra patch would be around £2.30 more as shipping was already included in the first £3.50 e.g 2 patches for £5.80.
I'm not looking into making money of this it's just I genuinely wanted a patch and I assume there will be others like me out there.
Input would be appreciated including thoughts about another design rather than pic related, shapes, sizes blah blah.
I missed the first 50 too. Definitely on board, OP.
I like the design. Have you considered using a site like Etsy for folks to order from?
>>484790
I'm looking at ways around Etsy+ Ebay fees now.
What'ya think, anons?

Sup /out/, just got back from a little hike and thought id share some pics.
Lets get an adventure photo thread goin.
Region is SE Arizona btw.
I ended up hiking up to an abandoned mine. How those miners got equipment like this up those steep ass trails is beyond me.
(Rain) Poncho's!
do you use them?
+protects you from wetness
+protects you from cold and wind
+provides you Camouflage
+provides you Camouflage for your backpack
+provides you a shelter / use it as tarp
>Ponchos are for pro's
i have a goretex jacket, it's kinda like a poncho i guess
>>488170
I got a sea to summit silnylon poncho. Weather protection, pack cover, and hammock tarp all in one. I think it weighs something like 8 oz.
Only downside is i look like Quasimodo while wearing it with backpack on.
Post God-Tier Forests
/r/ing locations with posts.
Pic is Cocobolo Nature Reserve in Panama. Not my picture, but I have been.
> Implying i don't have a whole folder filled with forest wallpapers
Asked /fit/ about this subject this morning and learned that this board exists, so:
Has anyone here ever go on any long distance hikes/walks (like a week or longer)? I'd like to do one in a year or two and am looking for tips and advice that isn't from an article. How was training for it? What do you wish you would've brought? Which trail is best?
Te Araroa (pic related) looks amazing, but I definitely wouldn't do that for my first time.
>all those fuckfaces wandering around the background
Disgusting
I thruhiked the PCT last year. Mostly solo. It was my third backpacking trip and first longer than 40 miles.
The best way to prepare physically is to walk uphill and downhill with your pack. But walking and running in general are good. The more physical prep you do the easier it is in the beginning. But your feet will probably hurt no matter what you do for the first couple of weeks.
I spent 4 months on the PCT. Its a good first trail because there is a lot of hiker infrastructure and great scenery (high sierras, goat rocks, north cascades). If you want to try a shorter trail, the long trail or Colorado trail are options.
I started out carrying about 14lbs of gear and ended my hike with 10-11lbs. The one thing I wish I had during the hike was a pair of cheap gloves to keep my hands warmer in the morning and at night in camp or getting water.
Gear choice has a lot of compromise. The only advice I'd really give is to not cheap out on your shelter, sleep system and pack. Getting lightweight, quality gear up front will save you hassle and money later.
Getting through a long hike comes down to dealing with being uncomfortable. Walking with lots of blisters or an injury, days of being soaked and cold, etc... You never know what the trail will throw at you.

Make sure to bring carabiners with you.
Well i've been living in Germany for quit some time. The Laws here are pretty straight foreward when it comes to knives. Police already took a very good knive from me because i could snap it open with one Hand. I walked back home- in frustration anger and tears- an fucked up another knife of mine so that Police can't take it with them if they stop me again.
What was ur worst Knife Fuckep?
>>478752
German No 2 reportin in.
I carry my Blades in the backpack... until I am outside a City/village.
I never would "fuck up" a knife only because of Policeslaves/law
>>478772
i think i hated the serrated edge and the 11 CM Law was clearly broken. so i trimmed it down to 9 und deleted the serrations. i deeply regret that i went full retard. -.-.
>>478752
german no.3 repotin in
welp that one fugged up knife
look at this pic the blade length is defined s the length to the parry guard. (red length)
you dont look at the cutting edge (yellow) and you dont subtract the bottom bit (green) just because its different.
it needs to be shorter then 12 cm or it will never be legal
most accurate summary i have seen in the past is >http://www.vivalranger.com/index.php/wissensdatenbank/outdoorrecht/96-outdoorrecht-teil-i-messer-machete-multitools
(this covers other out door legal stuff in the other sections)
but if you carry it in your bag you will almost never have any problems.
unless you cause suspicion that the knife could be use as weapon and not as a tool. if you look like a homeless guy at the train station at 3 am you might get fucked. if you are sharpening your stick to bbq some sausage at the baggersee no one will give a shit.
Whats your favorite /out/ reality show? Just started watching pic related and its pretty good
Dual survival.
Matt graham is a legend.
>Reality Show
>Good
>>488374
Is the only exception when Lundin and Canterbury were together.
>>488374
I would watch the new dual survival if I was into watching two guys bushcraft anal lube out of tree sap
Post your cook kits /out/.
This is mine at the moment. GSI Outdoors Pinnacle Soloist with a Home made hobo stove, windshield & 50ml hand sanitizer bottle for my fuel. This bottle holds enough fuel for 2 medium sized meals or one big cook. I have other bottles of various sizes depending on the duration of my trip /out/ & how many meals I need to cook. If I take more than 150ml of fuel then the bottle no longer packs into the kit.
With the bottle pictured full, it all weighs in at a shade over 14oz. You can keep your lightweight titanium kits. The non-stick coating on this set is worth the extra weight, which to be perfectly honest I wouldnt notice anyway. Clean up is a breeze.
i'll also post a picture of it packed.
>>488150
Packed.
I have the GSI Pinnacle Dualist, but I mainly bought it as a single person kit with the ability to drag my girlfriend outside and have the additional cookware when needed.
I wanted the 1.7L pot so I could boil that much more water in one go. Lastly, I can fit my mini stove (amazon $6.50 shipped), two isobutane canisters, small sponge, small dish soap and all the accessories inside the 1.7L pot which all fits in the stuff sack. The entire setup weighs around 25oz.
Though I do like the appeal of having a titanium mug and a titanium pot for myself, and just cooking everything over a fire rather than dragging a bunch of shit around.
>>488150
You have sponges but no soap?
I like to push boulders down steep hills and video it. Today I found an excellent candidate for pushing but this thing is heavy. How could I go about doing this? I tried pushing it with a large branch underneath but it didn't even budge.
I'm thinking maybe a jack but getting to the boulder is kinda difficult and carrying a jack might be tough, although if it came in pieces i could carry the parts one at a time.
Any ideas?
The first pic was below, this is above the rock.
And this is a side shot.
Also getting here is kinda hard. Not only is the climb kinda steep but it's through thick foliage and moss covered wet rocks/bedrock. Also you can see it's snowing so that also makes it slippery.
>>477483
Bring a few sections of 2×4 and a shovel to pry with. Figure it out from there.
Can we have a thread about scouting? I was never a scout. I'm just reading a little bit about the merit badges and the requirements of such.
This is the 1911 camping badge, for American Boy Scouts.
Here is 2015's Camping badge.
>>468727
Sure. It's a "outdoor organization" ran by discriminatory christian douche bags, which has gone from a "awesome outdoor experience" for wealthy white christian boys to... well. It's still only for white christian boys, but now the "awesome outdoor experience" is sadly lacking.
Anybody here ever grow smokable plants? No, I'm not talking about cannabis. Tobacco itself seems quite hard to grow, but other things like wild tobaccos, lobelia, coltsfoot, etc seem relatively simple.
I'm thinking about setting up a small garden with a few of these.
No?
:(
>>465652
fellow /o/ cunt here. /out/ is slow as fuck but that's what makes it good.
tobacco isn't that hard to grow, it's more the curing that people complain about
you could grow datura :^)
>>465753
>you could grow datura :^)
I don't really have an interest in things that are that dangerous.
is there any one piece of /out/ gear that is more versatile and important than a good woolen cloak?
>>463561
*tips mora*
I don't know about wool, but those lightweight poncho/shelter things are pretty neat.
Just get a goretex hardshell you autist
