Hey
Have any of you done tree planting work up in Canada or United States? What did you think of your overall experience?
How does one get involved in this?
>>792888
I think there are planting agencies online that you can sign up to
Hey /out/, anyone here good with tomato plants? I don't know what exactly is going on with my plants but this definitely isn't right....
Another picture of a different tomato plant. All of my plants are doing this.. some much worse then others..
>>798237
do you have a better picture of the whole plant and the pot?
No clue but google told me this
Was in the Gila last weekend, this guy crapped out on me. Any recommendations for a water filter?
seen these for $20 dunno if i would trust it though
>>798108
Are you really surprised that your $20 chinkshit filter crapped out on you?
Anyhow, most folks seem to go with Sawyer filters these days. Fairly cheap and very small/light. Probably won't last as long as a MSR, but they're less than half both the price and the size.
Basically you fill one of the pouches it comes with with dirty water, then hook the pouch up to the filter and squeeze it. Clean water comes out the other end. Just make sure you don't ever use the dirty water pouch for clean water as it'll undoubtedly contaminate it.
Thinking about taking one with me on the app trail just got pic related. I'm hiking it durning the winter so the need for one will be greater
This bait?
>>798064
no not bait lol just wanted to start a convo on using kukris for survival
I don't really understand much about knives or blades in general, but shouldn't a kukri work much like any other knife with the exception you have to wield it in a different way due to the curvature of the blade?
I'd expect people are going to call bait because they think it's unecessary and you're just trying too hard. Good luck OP

Fuck guys I woke up freaking out.
>>797901
p scary
some pepper spray at the nose will fuck that sack of fur up, so consider carrying one. pretty sure its the best non lethal defense in case of bear. or anything else really, don't know about skinwalkers
bring this next time you go /out/
Hey /out/,
I'm a second year college student planning to graduate with a bachelor's degree of geology with a minor in physics.
What kind of jobs do you experienced /out/doorsmen have/know about, and are there any specific jobs you guys would recommend that allow me to be outside pretty often? I know this is a decision I need to make for myself and do some proper research, I just thought I'd ask here first.
We can turn this into an /out/ career thread general I guess
bachelors in Geology: enjoy your hobby of Geology
most geologists have post graduate degrees
>>797882
Yeah my professors have told us we will probably need to specialize eventually.
Do you know any specialized career paths (volcanology, hydrology, structural geology, whatever) that let me work outside at least a few times a month?
>>797889
Pretty sure if you're trained in petroleum or mineral exploration you'll have plenty of opportunity to work outside in the arse end of nowhere.
Bought my first camping stove as a first in a long line of gear to go on my first hiking trip.
What is the purpose of this thread?
>>797578
I hope you didnt pay more than 6usd for pic related. Have the same. Burned through my first gas canister with it. For that price its good deal. Just really need some windshield if its windy and a lid for pot. I use canteen cup as pot so i will have to make my own lid to boil faster
>>797578
Link?
What are some good places to buy /out/ clothing and the like online? thank you.
>>796941
REI Outlet. I buy loadable giftcards from Fry's and get money back on gas purchases. 100% return garrantee, 30-50% off retail priceing.
>>796941
the prospector is where I get all of my stuff

Most of my merino wear has come from the Sierra Trading Post.com. Patagonia have some good deals on their website, and twice a year have huge sales.
Sup /out/ can we have a campsite books thread going? Was thinking of buying pic related to take the next few trips this summer. Also thinking about getting a copy of the Revenant, might give it a try.
Any suggestions? What do you guys read at the camsite/ Innawoods?
I don't mean books on survival and bushcraft and technical stuff like that. Sometimes I just like a nice story.
Just got finished reading All the Pretty Horses at the beach. Pretty good stuff and I'm looking forward to the next two books of the border trilogy.

The weather
The trail
I've been challenged to walk a large portion of the south-coast of England.
I have some experience in camping, but that was only doing D of E, and all my equipment was awful because I was a poorfag.
Can anyone from /out/ tell me what equipment I need without breaking the bank too much, I expect to be travelling a few weeks (I do have enough money to stay in hotels every now and again, and with airBnB I don't have to be camping every night).
camping isn't necessary at all
all of the seaside towns/cities are so close to each other you can just eat/sleep in each one every lunch & night
For food I personally wouldn't spend a lot on expensive camping food. Because of all of the towns on the coast I'd say it would be a lot easier and cheaper to just buy food from supermarkets day-by-day.
>>796557
That's what I was planning, heading to tesco or whatever shop each day when I head through a town to pick up some food, or eating in a cheap cafe for lunch.
I was planning to carry about a days worth of food at any one time to for camping and keeping costs down as I dont want to fork out on eating in a cafe every lunch.
Cans on all day breakfast and shit is what I was planning, I have a little gas stove already that I could use.
>>796555
It would be quite expensive to pay for a room every night for a few weeks. I was planning on camping mostly in campsites along the way to keep my costs as low as possible, I now for a fast there are a fuck ton of camp sites on the south coast.
Hi, when I was in Nice (France), I saw this plant with flowers and a beautiful parfume. Can anyone tell me the name of this plant, please? :)
>>796269
Here you go
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasmine
>>797049
I don't think it's Jasmine because it had another parfume and it had only four petals
>>797089
>only four petals
You are right, sir. I stand corrected

>What's the best way to fend off a wolf that's stalking you? Bait it with a bear cub, of course.
>It sounds incredible, but that's exactly what Joanne Barnaby did when she got into a terrifying situation while out picking morel mushrooms near Fort Smith, N.W.T., last Friday.
>Barnaby and her friend Tammy Caudron headed out to an area burned by wildfires to spend an hour or two searching for the elusive morels. They soon became separated, leaving Barnaby alone with her loyal dog, Joey.
>Once her pail was full of mushrooms, she turned to head back toward her truck.
>"I heard this growl behind me. There was a long, tall, very, very skinny wolf. A black wolf. And his legs were spread and his hair was standing, and he was growling, and baring his teeth."
>Joey charged the animal, but the wolf stood its ground.
>"I don't think Joey expected that," Barnaby says. "I didn't want him hurt, of course, but I also knew that if the wolf got Joey, I'd be next."
>The wolf started pacing back and forth in the direction of the truck. Barnaby says it was forcing her to go farther east, away from the highway.
>"It took me a while to realize that he knew what he was doing. He was trying to wear me down. He was trying to separate Joey and I," she says.
>"I think he was weak. He didn't look healthy. He looked old to me ... I don't think he wanted to take us both on."
>What followed was a 12-hour hunt. The wolf continued to pursue Barnaby and Joey, as they were pushed farther from her truck.
>>795655
>"He was dogged. He was just determined," Barnaby says. "I was in trouble."
>Barnaby said she became dehydrated, her calves and thighs were aching, and there was another vicious attacker that was testing her mental strength.
>"I was going crazy with mosquitoes. There were zillions of mosquitoes."
>At about 4:30 a.m., Barnaby heard a loud noise. She quickly recognized it as a mother bear. Listening closely, trying to drown out the buzz of mosquitoes, sure enough she heard a cub respond from far away in the distance. The two bears had been separated.
>"I realized that there was a chance that the mother bear would tackle the wolf if she felt that the wolf was a threat," Barnaby explains.
>"So I made the choice of walking towards the cub."
>It worked. After walking about 20 minutes, Barnaby's dangerous plan paid off.
>"I heard this big crashing behind me and realized that the mama bear had attacked the wolf, or maybe the other way around, I don't know, but they were fighting and I could hear the wolf yelping and I could hear the mama bear growling and I could hear all this crashing and I just took off!"
>>795659
>Finally free of the wolf, Barnaby and Joey both "perked right up" when they saw a lake.
>"I had brought one can of beer with me. Silly choice," she laughs. "That little can of beer ended up saving my life."
>She drank can after can of water and finally took a break.
>"I started praying to not let the mosquitos drive me insane. Then I just started talking to people I love, some of whom are still with us, some of whom have passed.
>"As I talked to them and told them how much I loved them," Barnaby said, her voice breaking, "everything they mean to me, it energized me, and I was determined to see everybody again.
>"All night I had been making decisions of sorts, but this one was a decision to live and it was really powerful."
>When the pair finally climbed onto the highway Saturday morning, Barnaby saw vehicles parked on the road about a kilometre away.
>"I was like, 'OK, we're good. We're really good.'"
>A police truck, carrying a local RCMP officer and a Parks Canada worker, drove to Barnaby and Joey.
>"They both jumped out of the truck and we had big hugs, and of course they were full of questions, but they didn't have any bug spray for me! I couldn't believe it!" she laughs.
>Barnaby is still kicking herself for not bringing her gun into the bush, calling it a "huge mistake."
>"Don't do what I did. Don't go without your gun," she says. "Anything can happen.
>"If I had had that gun, it would've been a very short situation."

What's wrong with my bean plant, /out/?
If you're into the no pesticide/herbicide thing like I am, just put a plank so the slugs can crawl under it when the sun starts to shine, pick it up before the night and dispose of them.
Also, if you have plant fleas watered down medicinal alcohol does wonders, vinegar is bad because it fucks up the PH of the soil.
Same problem with my beans OP but I think I have snails not slugs. They eat the sprouts the plants don't even make it as far as yours. I bought 3 bean transplants and used those instead and it's working out great so far.
/out/ I have been watching this plant grow in a raised bed for sometime, however no one recalls planting anything in that spot. It is also different from the other plants (the rest are strawberry). Any ideas as to what it is? I thought it could've been an herb but I'm not sure. Pic related.
