When I was younger, I used to be /out/ all the time. The older I got, the less time it seemed I had. I now have a wife and 2 children. I really want to back into and get my family into being /out/ also. Any advice on where to start/good gear for day trips? I am in relatively good shape and live near the Smoky Mountains.

>>617850 Perfect age to get them into fishing. It makes life in general so much easier when you don't think things like worms and fish are "icky"

>>617850 They probably aren't into long-ass walks at that age. I like the fishing idea, gets them into nature but isn't too strenuous. If staring at the float gets boring they can have fun catching minnows and looking under rocks for bait.

Oh yes they went down the ocean, but not to the alleged "deepest point". Instead, they went a few hundred feet down. Notice how they never live broadcasted the descent?

How do you guys feel about these? I was thinking about getting some but they're kind of ugly and I don't think I really need them. Just curious on how you all feel.

Bean boots suck, don't get them unless your goal is to not get them dirty and want to look like a hipster

>>615229 The "." in between O and 8? It doesn't mean "the meaning 'period'", it just means that this combination (- - - .) doesn't have a meaning associated. it just means "another dit". The one between O and 9/0 similarly means "another dah". Same for the thing between U and 2.
Period, comma, @, ?, and / aren't shown in the tree diagram at all.

Chop the top and submerge in soil. I have never planted one and had it die.

>>614074 >I clearly had the wrong idea about this board. Good luck arguing about knives and paracord I guess. If you spent even two minutes looking through the catalog you'd have noticed the gardening thread, where its more appropiate and going to get a proper response.
I would suggest something like liriope - nice green foliage through year, sick purple colour in autumn. Low maintenance, cut back after flowering and thats about it.

pinapples are a stupid idea, try going to bunnings and asking for shade dwelling plants, they will have at least 2 rows of choices. as a fellow syd fag iv got a half an idea. i have a similar garden, hydranges are my personal favorite. the colour of the flowers and be changes from blue to whit to purple depending on the PH of the soil but if that a bit to far its all good, i sugest trying them and see how it goes, keep them watered for the first 3 days and then drop back to watering once every 2 or three days for a month or so and after that you wont have to worry about them at all. goodluck

Hey /out/ I have a little question for you, what's the worst that can happen to a person who is caught in a sandstorm with no protection?

i suppose if you didn't have glasses or weren't fully clothed your eyes and skin could get fucked up, but every sand storm i was ever in was in the army so i was fully covered wearing sunglasses.

Do you have to wear a respirator? I imagine inhaling that much sand would be bad.

>>617601 the ones i went through i sometimes put a scarf over my nose and mouth. that is the reason you see soldiers wear those haji scarfs. if it wasn't bad i didn't even use that.
the one in OPs pic looks pretty bad though. something like that we would probably seek shelter and wait. but thats from the outside. inside one of those things it can look alot different. pretty much like a super hazy day.

Eh, it's not that bad. Like being in a blizzard, except it's sand and dust instead of snow. Put on goggles and pull a scarf over your mouth and you barely even notice it.

Got a story from conscription, but it's from a the perspective of being the one who (unintentionally) scared some hikers.>late summer on a week long exercise in the woods in military training grounds (forested area) >set up camp in the middle of nowhere in the forest >me and another guy are appointed guard duty between 00-02 >pretty much means that you walk around for two hours and make sure that everything is okay >after half an hour or so, while being just outside the outer perimeter of the camp we spot a light source about 100 m away on the other side of a clearing in the forest >go to investigate >when we have about half the distance left we see a shadow that quickly moves toward the light source >as we come closer we see that it's a civilian looking tent with a light source lit up inside >call it in on the radio since there should not be any civilians there >deicide to make contact and ask them what they're doing there >as come up to the tent, standing just outside the entrance, about to ask if anyone is there/awake we hear a trembling voice saying "please leave us alone, we haven't seen or done anything, I promise"

>>617514 Awesome, do it! You should check out the C90 Aventures videos. They are well done and organized. I think it would also be neat to have a brief video about the planning you do prior to your trip.
A lot of people, including myself, would benefit from learning about the types of logistical problems you face and how you deal with them. Just an idea though.
