I've done that when training for longer hikes. Helps get your body ready for carrying weight while hiking

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack
i like to wear cotton tees to outdoor activities to troll people and because they are cheap and comfortable and as long as its not too cold, not dangerous

Agreed, and anyone who gives anything but kudos to someone who's out hiking is loving retarded.

Every time I go out anywhere I see a group of friends dressed in immaculate probably never before used synthetic garb with trekking poles and other useless crap standing around talking about their hiking apps on their phones, in almost same place doing the same thing after I've reached the end and turned back. Is this the right thread to make fun of them?


ok I admit it I hate them mainly because I don't have friends. they're still stupid though

Not the most exciting hike, but when I went up mount fuji I did it in jeans and a sweatshirt, the warmest clothes I had after being in hot places for the last few months, compared to all the Japanese who were up there in their full climbing suits with oxygen tanks and ice axes. There was hardly even any snow!

Max Deet - uhh you know that Deet is a scam right? Why don't you carry this bottle next to the little furnace, lamp and batteries so you blow yourself up in the middle of no where from the flammability. Amateur hour and it's the first drat thing.

Aqua-Tainer. Nice, nothing like blue plastic to help the sun turn the molecules of your water into basically poison that makes your balls shrink.

Head Net - this makes you look like kermit the frog you idiot. Just buy a loving hat... Gods sake.

Okay... You really think Mace is going to stop a bear. Let me guess, your going to unpackage the mace and have the werewithal to spray the bear in the eyes in the oh by the way bears run about twice as fast as humans when their hungry. loving moron... All you'll do is get your head knocked clean off by massive brutal bear paws.

Oh goody, a seemingly empty package that says "Stuff" on it. I definitely want "Stuff" with me when I'm planning to hike across a country. Are you serious right now?

Field and Stream bag - wow nice tiny loving bright red bag so the bears, wolves and wild bison can see you a mile off. But wait, there's more - this loving idiot forgot to put all his stupid trash in the bag.

Bath wipes - what are you a baby.

Umbrella - *funny gif of a man who tried to get the mace out of his tiny red bag but oops he grabbed the umbrella and opened it and managed to stun the bear for a few seconds from sheer stupidity and confusion. Oh wait, this gif isn't funny, because this 'man' is our illustrious hero who just got his rear end destroyed by a God drat california brown bear*

Good thing you brought the soap though.

Are those those gimmick water shoes. Are you going to a freaking swimming pool, or a cross country hike you embarrassing gently caress head! God drat... Nice green bag for a large salami from the deli. Must be one of those assholes with a murder fantasy so he buys a gun, except you bought Bear Spray and a big rear end salami in a thin green bag.
