Where the fuck do you find forests in England? It's literally a big flat farmland.

Near bignor roman villa is a good woodland. Walk straight to the end of the trail and there is a field with woodland at the end. Huge woodland with plenty of deer and animals, lots of old trees and firewood.

>>620396 Yup, around the lincoln area is where there is very little woodland. It used to be fens, now it's just shitty farmland.

The only place I can think of would be the wooded areas of dartmoor in the south. Then there's sherwood, the new forest, lots of the dales are covered in Ash forest in the lowlands and moorland on the tops, almost all of cumbria is intermittant moor and woodland, scotland has the pine wastes.

I thought this place might be better than /fa/ but what are some good rain jackets and what should I look for when buying one? Any specific brand, or material? It's been raining a bit in England lately so I would like your suggestions.

Any recommendations for a more active rain/wind proof jacket/shell?

Pants thread. Looking for /out/ pants for hiking/camping/casualwear. I have a pair of zip off convertible pants from Gander Mountain, guide series trailhead. They're very light and comfy enough to sleep in, but they kind of make me look like a /k/ommando for doing any thing other than hiking. Would like a pair of /out/pants that I could wear casually too. Something that fits like jeans, only is comfortable enough to hike in. Pic is Kuhl pants. They're expensive. Anyone have other options?

Duluth is a really nice company and their return policy is the best

All memes aside it's fine for most use, if you're hiking during the winter nylon or other water resistant pants that can also breathe are recommended with wool long johns and layering. Though as long as your upper body is well bundled and your feet well shod you could probably get by with just jeans, wouldn't be really comfortable, especially if you get wet but it would be possible.

You're on a trek of self discovery through the desert. You climb atop a pile of rocks to better gain a geographical and introspective bearing on your surroundings. You look back at the direction you came from to better understand where you're going and you see a wild sex moose peering over the rocks at you. What do you do?

Pic related it's the highest point of my tent. Why do bugs do this? Why do they collect there? There is nothing for them, no food no whatever else bugs need. Why not fly out the door to freedom?

So I know a lot of folks here have such nice things to say about brands like timberland, merrel, Solomon and Columbia. And it seems /k/'s favorite flavors are Bates, belville, and danners.... But what about all the other brand of hiking boots you see at places like Big5 and Sports authority. Bearpaw, Denali, itasca, and Hi-Tec are a few that I see for reasonable inexpensive prices. But what is /out/ experience with such brands? Any recommendations or horror stories. All I'm looking for is a waterproof, all black workshoe that could also be used comfortable trekking from work in a SHTF scenario. I want the shoe/boot that is reliable and worth the moneys. My limit is about $100 but I don't mind going over $20-$30

>>612651 most boots with a membrane will start letting in water after around 5000 steps. get some leather boots without insulation and keep them waxed, use with wool socks. light, dry enough with maintenance and relatively cheap. cheap fabric shoes will start falling apart within a year of daily use.

Hey out I recently bought a pair of Merrell waterpro maipo, they're really comfy with the exception of the heel which keeps rubbing my heel. Should I exchange it or just break it in? Also the lacing system looks flimsy should I swap it for moabs or will this last me 2years without breaking?
