my only bear story is spotting a mama black bear trying to take a nap on a fallen tree trunk while her cubs were doing their very best not to let her

Preserving natural areas is without question the single best thing that the USA has ever and will ever accomplish.

:yeah:

on this note does anyone know a good org I can donate to or volunteer for to help the national parks

like I paid for a socal adventure pass even though they're apparently not supposed to sell them anymore but if the money goes to helping socal national forests then I am glad to pay it

got any sevens posted:

is there a thread around for hiking advice? like what to pack, how much water to bring, etc?

i did an overnight last september by Leavenworth, crossed on the pacific crest trail for some of it, and it was gorgeous but also got below freezing overnight, even in a thick sleeping bag in my tent and wearing clothes and gloves and thick socks I was still shivering until I got out my emergency blanket too. and I had two water bottles plus a gallon in hand and I barely used the gallon despite hiking 15 miles up and down hills that second day. I wouldve stayed another night to have more time to enjoy the scenery but I didnt want to suffer the cold again so rushed back to my car.
i also saw a fresh bear print in the mud in one spot, but had no bear mace so I kept a brisk pace to gtfo of that area asap.

Hiking & Backpacking thread right here
