Is true adventure dead?

All I wanted to do was to explore the unknown and exotic lands with a rifle on my back and a journal in my pocket, just like the old guys did.

((They)) can't have well srmed men doing manly things, being inspiration for other men. Drink your sōy

Go to darkest Amazonia or the Congo. Be prepared to not come back.

The vast majority of caves are unexplored or mostly unexplored.
Grab a light and a gun and start checking one out... who knows what you'll find down there.

Jesus, go outside. There are a million places in the United States alone that would make the adventure of a lifetime. Learn to rappel, climb and traverse and the world is your oyster. You have to work hard to learn, and then you can do crazy stuff. Most will not spend the time, effort and money required for adventure, so you can go where others will not.

You can still do this. There are massive chunks of the US that are wild places that people have barely touched. This is without mentioning parts of Africa and South America. Just be wary of the shit that lives there. Strange things live in the wild places of the world.

Storytime thread?

Lol do you think the Amazon or Congo are well-charted or something? Swedish and German nu-males leave home to explore the Amazon on a canoe all the time. The only thing stopping you is you.

I wouldn't worry about it.

We are still discovering new species from these places. Science knows a fraction of what they claim too.

So long as you aren't on the meds when you go to enlist (and have been off the meds for a year beforehand) they'll take you

Actually we know 100% of what we claim to know. If it’s undiscovered, then its called unknown.
Jesus christ its a shame that idiots like you are everywhere that hate and fear academia, experimentation, and research.

Academia is liberal bullshit

>explore the unknown and exotic lands with a rifle on my back and a journal in my pocket, just like the old guys did.
Where did you get this idea? There was no kurtz, Lawrence of Arabia and Dr. Livingston were 2 in a billion and they were beholden to very careful alliances with natives.
You are yearning for a time that never was.

Is that Porco Rosso?

this desu. man up and do it op

>go for an "adventure" in woodland that has already been explored
What's the fucking point? You're just going to see a lot of trees and rocks. Adventurers in the 1*00s-early 1900s were actually learning new things about largely unexplored places and undocumented cultures.

Sure, gender studies is.
But I really don't see where you're getting the impression that documenting nature is political in any way.
Unless you're one of those anti-evolution folks. Then it makes perfect sense.

Yeah, you definitely don't go outdoors enough. There are dozens of canyons that have never been traveled through that I have marked, and those only took me about an hour to mark. So there is land to be the first through. There is so much in the outdoors that would simply kill you if you didn't have the knowledge regarding how to get past, that you should at least learn to cross impassible terrain. Once you have a solid idea on how to manuever through natural obstacles, then you can begin to see how much of the Earth is truly untouched. And if speaking to foreign cultures is what you're after, go to Africa, you'll learn why people tried to avoid it all throughout history.

No. Its not Porco Russo, it’s something totally different..

whole maps been revealed OP.
The scouting stage is over, now comes resource control and army building.

you can literally look that shit up on google earth.
except antarctica, but thats classified

Sorry dude, exploration is over, you were born in time to live Cyber Punk.

i'm planning on buying a cheap cargo plane once the next war kicks off, then doing some nice smuggling/arms trading/aid shipments once the initial salvos have been fired. i was reading about all these fly by night pilots that made a fortune flying in and out of afghan/iraq in the 00s on junky barely flyable airframes. it'll be a comfy mix of tailspin and apocalypse now. who's with me?

you don't actually want adventure
you just want to glory of being on one

Why take a gun? Skin Walkers dont live in caves silly.

And a gas monitor. Seriously, be fucking careful in caves, you might not fall but you could get deep into a chamber of pure methane and suffocate.

Sounds dope I'm down

Just travel around south East Asia or kyber pass you pussy

>But I really don't see where you're getting the impression that documenting nature is political in any way.
somehow my head generated the image of those fatfucks, that go halfnaked to the feminist parades hatting all men, been eaten by lionesses; while screaming they want to end the lion's patriarcate.
Based nature.

No one will care when they need more bodies for a new war

Go hunt in Canada and Alaska.

Truth is you aren't drawn to adventure. There is lots to be had, you've just decided it's no fun since a map exists. Trust me when I say that it's all a lot more fun with maps.

>Actually we know 100% of what we claim to know
Considering that our understanding of the natural world is constantly changing as we find new ways to measure it, no we don't. Science makes mistakes.

>Jesus christ its a shame that idiots like you are everywhere that hate and fear academia, experimentation, and research.
No. I just hate the smugness and false sense of superiority of the faggots in academia that think their ideas are infallible truth. Science has replaced God in it's own way and in some fields has become politicised to a point that if you have a "wrong" opinion you are excommunicated. I've been in and around academia long enough to know it's full of jackasses.

Adventure is out there user. You just got to go.

ask /out/

EXACTLY what a skinwalker would say...

Will there be air pirates?

>NEVER get off the plane...

D'you WANT him to disappear and spend the rest of his days as some Muj's harem trap?

Maybe don't be a retard and crawl head first upside down?

yes

The mid-21st century race war is going to be the biggest adventure of our lives.

Can't take gun though. You'd have to be a retard not to take BARE MINIMUM a shotgun. The wildlife, natives, and potetial drug activity are all massive reasons yo be armed.

There's always the ocean, but lets be honest, nobody wants to go there, and with good reason.

even local authorities in shit-holes are more authoritarian with regard to firearm ownership these days, I expect.

gone are the days when 007 can pack his take-down rifle into his suitcase and hop on a plane drinking scotch and smoking cigars the whole way

It's a pitch black cave. It's easy to get disoriented. He may not have known he was upside-down. Also, he didn't know it was literally a dead end.

i'm in

Yeah? with what money am I gonna do that with? Yours?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Fairfax_(rower)

> he and his mother moved to Argentina where, aged thirteen, he left home to live in the jungle "like Tarzan", surviving by hunting and bartering skins with local peasants

>At the age of 20 Fairfax attempted "suicide-by-jaguar". He kept a revolver with him just in case he changed his mind which he did in the end and shot the jaguar and sold the skin. He was later apprenticed to a pirate and also briefly managed a mink farm

money is out there

Yes

Sometimes I wonder how hard it would *really* be for you to buy a black market gun in these countries that don't have functioning governments.

I'm positive you've never travelled anywhere outside the US. It's fun to dick around on the internet all day till you think you know other places but that doesn't give you the experience of doing it

Fear not user! I used to feel this way, but when you really look at it the world is still so wild in many ways.
The U.S. is still in some ways the wild west. You can grab a pistol, stuff it and run around plenty of places, seeing insane things.
Find an old mineshaft or anywhere with urban decay! Run about in thousands of miles of protected forests. National parks are a true treasure that are exclusive to America and you'd be a fool to not explore them.

t. freshwater rapedolphin

It's all fun and games until the CIA gives me a stinger.

that's very VERY frightening to me holy shit imagine being in this situation

I used to explore a lot when I lived in West Texas. There are tons of places I’ve been through that aren’t on any map that isn’t in the hands of the landowner. Honestly I think I’m just a diluted faggot from living in the city and being surrounded by people who have no interest in exploration.

Autism.

>rapedolphin
Aren't all dolphins rapedolphins?

Always wanted to do this. Ill bring the brown brown.

I have no problem with anything you mentioned other than Academia.
Burn it down and rebuild it with less commies pls

Hey guys, they say the carribean is having a resurgence of piracy. sounds pretty adventurous to me

My favorite pundit has said that the reason we have so much post-apocalyptic fiction these days is because "When a society has destroyed all adventure, the only adventure left to be found is in the destruction of that society."

Adventure is out there, but we're not encouraged to pursue it. You have to seize it for yourself.
