What's your favorite /out/ smell? Me? I like how sagebrush smells after a rain.
fertile dirt, conifer trees, campfires
smellsgoodman
Petrichor, especially when I make it myself by peeing on the lawn
>inb4 fresh shit in a geocache
my favorite is some plant that thrives at about 5000' on the eastern aspects of the western sierra. still haven't been able to single out what it is, but i kind of enjoy the mystery.
I like how deers smell. They smell like real freedom.

Still something about that kinda gross ocean smell early in the morning or real late at night when the wind is calm and it is 70F but humid as hell.
Dirt, light rain, the wind through the trees when it's warm, all underneath wood smoke.
Nothing comes close
2-stroke oil and race gas... sorry kids.

I love me some wild chives in the spring

Fresh shit in a geocache
the smell of Danube
The smell of the Chickahominy River.

Pull your god damn pants up you wannabe nigger
>>723756

The smell of cooking meat over fire. mmmmhhmmmm.
Apart from that the smell of salt on the wind.
>>723760
He is right its damn right silly behavior.
>>723578
Sweet fern.
The high Sonoran after it rains.
>>723578
After a long day of hiking, I love the smell of my evening flatulance gently seeping out my sleeping bag while I'm falling asleep in my tent under the stars.
Tent farts. Especially when they come from my woman
>>723756
Alfie is 10x the outdoorsman you'll ever be, even with air maxes and canned Stella
>>723578
the smell of nothing when youre up on a snowy mountain
i love skiing
>>725287
But also looks 10x a faggot, so it evens out.
>>723578
I love sagebrush too.
>>723578
Cow poo
>>723578
Redwoods during and right after a rain. Couple that with a small fire and that is pretty much close to perfect.
>>723578
copper
>>723578
Leafy or mossy forest in the evening, with cooking fire smell in the slight distance.
>>727836

>>723668
toys 4 BIG boys!!!
Fuck nature :^)
Vroom Vroom!
Fresh burnt gunpowder on a cold morning

Sagebrush is fucking gay
The smell of cool clean air after a ferocious downpour. It's like heaven for the nostrils.
>>723668
At least it's not a dirtbike aka fuck-everyone-else-I'm-having-fun-mobile
California eucalyptus trees mixed with ocean coast breeze
The Northern White Cedar

>smell right after a heavy rain
>freshly cut trees, sawdust
Cedar. Eucaplytus on a warm day is also pretty nice.
I also enjoy the smell of cow shit (when it's not overwhelming), but that's more from the association of smelling it while I was doing things I liked.
>>723578
That indescribable smell/sensation in your nose during a heavy snowfall, bonus points for being in a coniferous forest, that muffling silence enhances the experience.
Peeling back a little bark on a Ponderosa tree.
There is vanillin under there which is the active ingredient in vanilla extracts.
>>723578
Cows.
The combination of the cow, cut grass, silage, and cowshit. It just smells like outdoors to me when it floats around on the wind.
Up close, it's not so good.
This spot I used to play paintball at. Anice and mustardseed? I drive by there from time to time and it still smells that way.
>>723578
The smell of burning fatwood.
>>723578
I don't have much outdoors experience but
>Pine Trees
>>723578
The smell of my feet after a long day on the trail. Smells like buttered popcorn mixed with toejam, and even though it's disgusting, I've come to associate the smell with a welcome rest after a long day.
Pine Smoke, or the butterscotch smell of freshly mowed creeping charlie.
>>730745
Purple Kool Aid
>>723578
A cedar swamp after a downpour. An area with wintergreen is also nice after a rain.
The smell of red pine is also nostalgic to me, brings back memories of my grandparents.
>>731454
what's a cedar swamp and where can i find one?
>>731456
Deer love them when the weather gets nasty. I hunted one a few years back and ended up lost, got to into following a trail and didn't pay enough attention. Nearly spent the night out there in late December.
As for finding one, depends where you live. I've got several around me. Most will have trees that are only ~15-20 feet tall or so, real gnarly footing, usually moss covered roots with water underneath. You'll break an ankle or leg of you aren't careful.

hmm i think i hoke through some areas like that last summer. my woods has some areas almost like that but not quite. cool shit tho. i live in an area that a few hundred years ago used to be known as "cedar meadow". now there are some large stands of cedar forest still there but it's all different now of course.
pic is a portion of it where it's really swampy. there's a crude snowmobile trail that goes through, which makes for an even cruder mountain bike trail. it does smell piney af tho, but the muddy areas are pretty stanky
The smell of sagebrush and bentonite in the Pierre shale. The smell always reminds me of long days and mosasaurs
dried pine
Humus
>>723803
Sweet fern on a dry summer day is nice.
>Being amidst a cherry bloom so thick you can smell it in the air.
Creostoe bush after rain. Best aroma i know of
>>727836
Get out of here skinwalker

Burning spruce bough, resin

Eucalpytus bush on fire that fills your neighbourhood with smoke

I love the fall, going down to the Manistee River in October, the smell of the leaves and the smell of salmon in the river
