Is this a better /out/tier map?
No, you've just lowered the standards.
>>769994
Not really.
Post yours though
>>769987
The map is shit. I live in NM, and there is a lot of /out/ stuff to do here. You just have to be willing to go off of the beaten path. Hell, even staying on the beaten path, we beat most states on /out/ stuff. We have 87 listed mountain ranges for fuck's sake.
So is Fjallraven actually good or is it overpriced fad gear? I can't imagine this would have good back comfort compared to more "modern" bags.
I don't know about their larger packs, but the kanken is overpriced hipster gear, there's no reason to have shitty straps like that except for fashion.
>>769700
It's mostly hipster tier shit. Check in how many srs expeditions their gear has being used. Don't fall for it.
As other's have said, it's a hipster meme.
What is the best backpack and why is it the Kelty Redcloud 110L?
Volume: 110 liters
Height: 35 inches
Length:19 inches
Width: 16 inches
Weight: 5 pounds 8 ounces
>>763607
Kelty is great.
Redcloud90 checking in
Other angle
The version I have.
You are dropped somewhere in the world with a backpack containing 4 of these items.
Assume you also have basic non-/out/ clothing and a passport or some other form of identification
Choose your items first and then roll for your drop point.

>10k cash
>camping pot
>flaregun or phone
The idea is to make it home, so I'd want to attract rescue at the earliest opportunity. The 10k and passport would be more than enough to get me home from almost anywhere in the world.
The problem here is also that there is a cold area that is basically a death sentence if you don't pick the cold weather clothing,...

How do I make the perfect rat poison from plants I can gather innawoods? I have rats in my house and it's illegal to sell poisons here, so I'm thinking of making my own from plants. What kind of plants are strong enough for this, how do I extract the poison and how do I preserve the stuff so it doesn't go rancid in the bait? I live in Scandinavia and I'm going to use local plants but can stretch myself to use garden plants if anons recommend them. Any /out/ or historical ideas on how to eradicate rats are also good.

>illegal to sell poisons here
This triggers me
Just use rat traps. Rat poison is terrible for using inside a home. The rats eat the poison, then crawl inside a wall somewhere and die. You'll smell dead animal for weeks, trust me.
Just use traps. They're effective, and there's no dead animal smell.
cut the bottoms off water bottles to make little water dishes. Fill those "dishes" with Anti-Freeze (its sweet with a bitter after-taste) and leave them around areas the rats are mostly in and wait awhile.
Eventually the rats dumb enough to drink it will get poisoned and die.
Watch out for your own pets though.
Go outside and see this on a tree. What the actual fuck is this
Slime mold or melted candle
>>783355
slime mold. of which ilk i am not sure. shit's fucksgusting
slime mold
What the fuck are these and why did I find 4 of them in the middle of my house? Outside my kitchen like in the middle if the hallway. What the fuck. Are these maggots?
some sort of insect larvae. look at the ceiling above where you found them. if there are little holes they're probably larval termites that fell out of a beam.
Maggots
>>783024
My ceiling is like 22 feet high. Took a flashlight to it and didn't see any holes.
Also checked my pantry and didn't see any either.
It is time to mourn the loss of this vibrant and free spirited maverick. Lost to the elements of such unforgiving woodlands as Maine we can only hope that in her final hours she found what she was looking for.
RIP
Gone but not forgotten

If you think this is camping you need to have your soul examined.

Memorial Day weekend is open, so hopefully everybody's fishing spots will be a bit more quiet. No more kids and fiestas at the lake.
Miami anon finally caught a fish. Pepsi finally caught a keeper. Skid is gonna kill himself towing a kayak. Mainebub is keeping his river spot.

How do you stop allergies
I have consumed half a bottle of allegra today
I have not slept in 2 days
I have been taking steaming hot showers every few hours
I still cannot breathe at all
I am minutes from blowing my face off with a shotgun
How do I stop this hell
Please
>>781177
For emergencies like this, take a benadryl and go to sleep.
Next, find an allergist. Stop taking allegra if it doesnt work. Allegra isn't an "as-needed" medication, it's a preventative. There is no reason to take more than one, ever.
I take zyrtec and nasacort, and use benadryl when things get crazy. Go to a doc and find out what works for you.
Adrenaline shots
Look into ranitidine. Its marketed as Zantac for stomach acid problems. It works by blocking H1 receptors (anti-histamines block H2) and works a treat for me when used with traditional 24 hour antihistamines.
Have eczema on my lower legs and feet as well as hayfever which it works for as well when I outbreaks out of season.
Also, you'll never get indigestion ;-)
Pro-tip, if you try it, discard the "never take more than 2 75mg pills in 24 hours" nonsense. I've researched this one (I'm 42 and no longer reckless with the shit I put...

Humblebraggers and adventurers of /out/, what is the single most impressive outdoor related thing that you have done?
Ive kayaked over a 40 ft waterfall
>>780519
Rode a 3-wheeler up a really steep hill and didn't die.
Riding a BMX bike down double black diamond trails in CO was a blast too, not sure if impressive at all but I was passing up hardcore MTB dudes a bunch.
can't do the really wild stuff because of a brith defect, but
>river rafting with some friends
>performed a rescue procedure from a gondola 80m/262ft above ground
>downhill 460m on devil bike (difficulty level hard)
>had a helicopter piloting lesson if that counts
>>780578
Flying a helicopter seems awesome
Or some expensive fighter jet. The ones that are horribly unstable at low speeds. A Cessna is one thing, but something that can knock you out from the G's has to be so much fun.
