I'm not but I live in a very flat area

Hiking is a myth, the earth is FLAT

hill walking is fun
summitted 3 tallest mountains in my country over 2 days (its a small country with small mountains). camped overnight so exped sacks were around 15kg with tents/sleeping bag/stove/layers/field ration, lugged that around for ~40km for the round trip in rain and hail/snow in late winter temperatures. almost slid and fell off a cliff. imagine i actually died there haha i wish. scarred for life actually would almost die again/10

I hike all the time you fuck.

Bears.

I've spent hundreds of nights backpacking, both in the Rockies and the Appalachian Mountains, never once seen a bear. Mountain kitties are a different story.

nice

There's niggers in my forests, also natives and possibly jaguars.

read too many skinwalker greentexts on Jow Forums

I'm in Florida and we have a lot of great hiking areas, we even have the Florida Trail, but it's pretty fucking hard. I got a buddy on It right now.

Sup fellow floridanon! Bradford county reporting in

I'd carry a gun to shot that pussy nigger

What's it like being surrounded by fatties

Hiking definitely kills gains, especially overnights. It's just easy to get on a huge caloric deficit out there. But theres more to life than how big your muscles are, absolutely worth it IMO.

Only kills gains because it sound like you don't plan ahead.

Just pack more good

Food*

I backpacked for a month straight and didn’t lose that much in terms of muscle mass. Just lost a few pounds and gained it back pretty fast.

I dont feel like trying to pack and eat 5-6k cals per day on hikes, I just accept that i'll come back a pound or two lighter and make up for it back in civilization.
It's possible though.

Greetings fellow east TN Jow Forumsizen

excuses

Fucking new that view.
Did that ridge years back in the winter with old my Venturers/Scout crew- drove down from Canuck land- Amazing trip, underappreciated area

It's a real gem, I go up to the ADK nearly every weekend in the warmer months. I live in central NY and hardly anyone here knows that we've got this enormous park an hour or two away.

Fuck, its my literal dream to live in a cozy place at the base of the smokies.

Please tell me more.

>.t cincinnati fag that wants out

Id love to do it but i have no friends to hike with

country?

It doesn't, Hiking and backpacking are a great way for to escape from everyday worries and stresses, I go backpacking with a club from my University and it's a really good way to relax for a few days but at the same time still do something physically demanding.

Also, take your kids hiking, it's a good way to keep them active, I was a fat little fucker and never got taken outdoors and spent my childhood fat and in front of the computer playing Runescape and WoW browsing Funnyjunk, I have a baby brother now and I've taken him out hiking and he absolutely loves it, keeps them active and off the internet, lowering their chances of discovering Jow Forums

It doesn’t i like walking around in the wilderness sometimes because i feel bad ass but hiking is fucking boring.

you could've just said your cardio is trash

It doesn't, Florida is just too flat to enjoy hiking.

How can I start hiking lads? I don’t have a car and I need to save money so I can’t afford to buy tents and stuff like that right now

mad as shit

Also my parents are urbanites so I’ve never really hiked/camped in my life before

kings canyon?

> Not lifting to fight bears

Never gonna make it

I climbed a couple of mountains back when i was in highschool i havent got time to get out anymore

Not sure why but I can't really eat too much in the mountains.
During hike I feel no hunger for first 8 hours, after that bar of chocolate can prolong it to 12 hours. After a hike I basically don't feel like eating at all, even though I usually burned something of 2-3k calories with hiking only.
Accepting it as a way to get lean is best way to go imo.

That's not hard, just throw in a couple plates of chocolate in addition to your dried stuff and you're good. Even better if you can gather food while hiking.

Why wouldn't they be? Are they still teaching you over at stormfront that that's not possible?

wtf

As long as it's in the wilderness there's no reason not to hike in a flat area you silly bitch.

don't want to get jihad'd

Find a trail nearby and just walk, bring some water too. That's literally it, at least for shorter hikes in good weather.

No bears in the gym

Unless you count hairy homosexuals

Trail running is the majority of my cardio. Shits primal as fuck to run through the woods. I think I'm the singular Jow Forums poster in the western NC area.

it doesn't but we don't have mountains so i have to go on forest trails

This.
Also post more comfy /out/ pics.

Hiking is GOAT, this is from the top of the devils staircase in Glencoe, Scotland.
In the summer I’m up exploring here most weekends, it’s a comfy life.

Scotland looks supremely comfy but I would miss the trees.
Hiking is top tier cardio plus top tier views.

I like hiking, only hiking that'd scare me is hiking in Morroco.

My photo was part of the West Highland Way trail - North of Glasgow to Fort William.
Skirts the east coast of Loch Lomond, several forests and obviously mountain regions.
I’ve met more Americans/leafs out in the middle of nowhere doing this trail than anywhere else. Highly recommend.

Shameful banter

Hiking is very easy to get into, you don't need to start with backpacking, start with dayhikes with just your school pack hitchhiking to trailheads and then go from there. Try to join a hiking club or your cities hiking Facebook group, having a friend to get you into hiking makes things a lot easier

>not mountaineering

Attached: JennayeDerge.jpg (1280x853, 1.25M)

Can you hunt out there?
I think I'm gonna go on a hog hunt

More of /an/ pic but it's most comfy of all.
During my first lone hike I've noticed this ant nest just near tourist route. It's been there for 10 years now. Each year there is meter of two of snow over it,and each year those little faggots make it out alive.
Nature finds a way

What makes you think I don’t love it?

I'm planning a to thru-hike the PCT this year so all my Jow Forums work is just training right now

I've been wanting to get into mountaineering but I don't have any mountaineering friends to show me the ropes and all the courses together cost almost 1000 dollars

What do if you encounter mountain kitty?

you won't encounter a mountain kitty

but if you do you have nothing to worry about, Cougars are ambush predators, if you see them just make yourself look big and make lots of noise, unless you're a 5'2 female or a kid they won't attack you 99% of the time, humans are just too big for cougars.

On the offchance it does attack you, just fight back

skin walkers and wendigos scare the shitouta me

Read Freedom of the Hills, watch some YouTube videos, find your balls, and go learn the basics solo. Mountaineering is the art and expression of freedom.

Why the fuck would I want to go to the woods? Human history is a 7000 year battle against the woods, fuck that shit.

Based trail running user. Southwest VA here. You been on the Appalachian trail? Or just random paths through the woods? Both are good shit.

No string father figure, raised by TV and the internet

Mostly random trails. But I do live very close to the Appalachian trail.

I'm planning to go hiking with my best friend next month around Morocco and it's mountains, alot of cardio gainz hopefully!

Use google to find the nearest trailhead. Put water and some kind of snack in a backpack. Walk or ride a bus to the trailhead. Easy.

>huff puff
>I bet I could lift this mountain, fucking dyels *pass out*

Encounter? Walk back to shelter, they will follow you if they are actually "hunting" you. Fight back if attacked. The only reason I saw a one is because me and my crew were retards and were hiking at dusk. (They hunt at dawn and dusk)

North GA App territory here, bout 20 minutes from one of the entrances to the trail. Surrounded by Blood Mountain, Yonah, Woody, Brasstown Bald

It's gay and boring and not efficient cardio in any respect.
You know how sprinters look so much better than endurance runners?
Well, hikers are the rank below endurance runners.
If you're under 40 and your greatest passion is walking alone watching at sceneries you have a severe low-test issue.

>No string father figure, raised by TV and the internet
False, Dad took me camping, that shit sucked. I was a boy scout for 5 years, hated everything except shooting and swimming. I'm an urbanite to my core, I can't help it.

I've heard of Brasstown bald. I went to high school in North GA.

Lumpkin or Forsyth?

fugg I can't wait to get into mountaineering. Been sport climbing for a few years now, gonna start to trad it up this summer. Hoping to feel comfortable going on 2week long mountaineering expeditions with my homies in a few summers, shit looks fun

Rabun gap. Faggy private school

This is the highest hill in my immediate vicinity. It's really not high enough to be considered a "hike".

But user, they're at the gym too!

Dude Cliff bars and honey stinger. Calorie bricks

I'd wait until you have the money for decent gear.
You can throw together a 10 essentials kit for pretty cheap but getting to any good (non normie) trails takes internal combustion.
Alternatively there's nothing preventing you from doing urban hiking, just walk instead of taking the train across the city.
