It might. They travel across land to lay eggs or find a more suitable aquatic habitat this time of year. I don't know if they know where they want to go or if it's just random. I usually find one or two coming to my pond this time of year.
got four of these for $20 each on sierratradingpost

I'm going to be in Belize. will this be a bad choice for hot and humid weather since it's polyester? it says "advanced evaporation" and "sun protection"
should i just get some very lightweight cotton or linen shirts?
>>764535
It's not too bad, they're pretty comfy in hot and humid weather. I've got a bunch of REI shirts that are similar that I use for /out/ings and for my /out/ related job doing field work
>>764535
Yeah you did good anon. No worries. They dry pretty fast and are lightweight and comfy
I like doing most of my /out/ related things by myself for obvious reasons. For the most part I take my dog with me, but if I'm ever camping alone, how can I ensure that no one's gonna wonder upon my campsite and fuck with me when I'm sleeping?

the kind of people who camp a lot are also the kind of people who have guns.
fucking with people you don't know who are camping is a baaad idea
Sounds like pretty harmless suggestions, good on you bros
Can you harvest standing deadwood in the US?
I saw an episode where Ray Mears chops down a standing deadwood tree in Northern Scandinavia and turns them into skis. I live in the Pacific Northwest of the US and have no clue about logging regulations and what not, but there are some beautiful deadwood trees out here, some standing, some fallen but so thick that the core wood is still good.
Are there certain things that you can freely harvest in limited quantities without permits or something similar and what's the deal with wood?
>>763821
Also in the PNW wondering what I can and cannot hit with my axe
You should be good as long as its your land or have the owners permission. Maybe unless you are in a suburb area or something.
>>763838
What about deadwood thats on state or federal land, fallen and not fallen? How will I ever collect sticks to burn while camping?

Dude just relax. Its just a painting job. I bet you do way more complex shit while out.
The only reason you're struggling is because you're so freakishly scared of doing a bad job. Scared makes people real fuckin stupid. Just relax and do it

>The only reason you're struggling is because you're so freakishly scared of doing a bad job.
they wanted me to take down hundreds of pounds of scaffolding. The guy right next to me told me to do x y and z or else i WILL get hurt. I'm so much weaker than everyone else, like a twig. No body strength.

Dude I have had 5'3" mexican manlets about 125 pounds hump scaffolding all fucking day.
No one piece is over 50 pounds you retard.
I want to do a primitive camping trip with my buddies. There's this nice area in Daniel Boone National Park called Red River Gorge with a lot of cliffs and arches that allows you to camp just about anywhere in the area that seems ideal.
The catch, however, is their alcohol policy. While I expect just about any place we go to officially ban alcohol, I've seen on various forums online that the cops in that area tend to harass campers and enforce the law, fining people for simply sipping on a beer around the fire. That said, all of these horror stories seem to...

Not in Kentucky, but some friends and I go "jello shot camping" every year. One year we didn't notice that the campground we went to had a no alcohol policy.
Cut to us unloading tons of jello shots out of the car and the camp hostess coming up.
"gee, you guys sure must love jello."
"Uh, yeah, Its pretty great."
"well, enjoy your stay!"
We also drank liquor, but put away the bottles in a camp box after pouring. Never had any issues. I honestly don't...

Yeah, that's what camping up here in Ohio is like. The policy is more of an excuse to kick rowdy people out of the campground than anything else. It just sounds like this one particular area has had some issues in the past of people actively and unnecessarily enforcing it and police being dicks about it.
I feel like we should be alright though, as long as we keep it discrete.

You can get absolutely trashed off of your ass in Red River Gorge, also have lived in Kentucky for 30 years and I specifically do primitive camping and love to bring booze and other drugs. Never once encounted law enforcement. Kentucky is a safe haven for this exact style of outdoor fun. Dont be worried at all.
Please remember to pack wire cutters in case you come across decapitation traps while /out/. You could save someone's life.
>>760999
What fucking shithole country do you live in that decapitation traps are a real concern?
>>761001
There was a major problem with boobie traps all over texas for a really long time.
I see nothing wrong here. The only people affected would be those on loud motorized vehicles. It's for the best really.
Does anyone bring guns when they hide in national parks?
TFW still haven't bought a gun
I really need to start saving
>>761015
all my guns were free! they were stolen from german, italian, and japanese subhuman pigs and displayed proudly over the mantle :3
>>761015
Just start with a ceap gun from the pawn shop. You can probably get a 22 for 100 bucks. Or a shotgun for a little more.
To answer OP no I don't carry in national parks but i do always have a pistol in my truck. I respect their rules about carrying but I expect them to respect my castle doctrine rights inside my vehicle granted to me by the repub, er i mean state of Texas.

Why does my little brother always do better than me? Wtf?
Also random ass dude comes to this spot nobody fishes at and of course starts fishing right next to us. Please people, go down the shoreline a little bit.

The macgyver hooks.

Hey sc/out/s. Was out hiking today, saw this guy, pic related. What kind of snake is it? Also, what would be the best course of action if myself, someone I'm with, or my dog it bitten by a snake?
>>760823
Zoomed in pic, not sideways.
>>760823
jesus fuck that thing looks sinister. if i were ever to hike or camp especially in snake territ'ry i would definitely invest in a snakebite kit. from what i've seen there's a lot of misinformation and outdated information regarding snakebites, first aid, and venom suppression so you have to make sure you get a kit specifically for the region you're going to be in. hospitals, ranger stations, local police, etc are probably a good place to ask

Yeah I was just reading about snake bit kits, never knew such things existed. I've seen a lot of snakes, mostly rattle snakes, but the coloring on this one threw me off.
