I'm working my back off right now to travel for an extended period of time by the end of this summer in Europe. Right now I'm thinking of heading down to Spain. What are good places for hiking? I'm clueless and can't stand reading tourist websites the search results give me. Anything in Europe really goes, especially if it's in a cheap country. The reason why I'm thinking of Spain is because I'm stuck in UK for the time being and I actually want to have some sort of feeling of summer, even if it's scraps of hot weather down in September or October.

>>1518344 Northern Spain a best. Asturias, Cantabria are quite nice desu.

>>1518354 Any specific places you can recommend? Have you been down south? I was thinking of North, but I have an itch to see the south mostly for the weather.

>>1518374 What do you plan to do? As for southern Spain I have never been there but living on the peninsula I tell you that you better like hot weather, really hot. It's not hard to get 40°C days during September, it can be quite uncomfortable. If you like hiking you have the Pyrenees or the Cantabrian mountain range. The later has a larger population of brown bears, maybe it's something that might interest you.

Does anyone have any recommendations that are good for long distance running or long backpacking trips? I've heard Merrell Vapor Glove 3 are pretty good but I want opinions from the professionals.>inb4 fat heeled Adidas or Nike

I have two pairs: some trail running shoes from amazon and then a proper keen hiking boot. I very rarely wear the latter; it’s heavy and bulky. It only comes out during hikes with a lot of mud or rain. Pic related are my trail runners. Hiked well over 200 miles in these things along with a shit ton of miscellaneous running, walking, etc....

Should I look into a bass boat or something else to enjoy /out/
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>1513469 I agree, I've seen a few people are doing John boat conversions to be more like a bass boat. Mostly just putting a casting deck on the nose and some storage lockers. John boat's have next to no maintenance(depending on the extra crap tossed on it), and they are light enuff to toss in the bed of a truck so you can go on remote ponds or launch where there is no ramp.

I am afraid to disappoint you, but I froze af last night, my sleeping bag proven too shitty. My runny nose and sinuses got worse and I've got a suspicious cough. So I called it quits and took a ride back home.> don't ignore frost alerts and don't use shitty summer bags > need a bivy to protect a bag from condensation > 2 rides 130k each is NOT a good idea > pay attention to your bike fit, too long rich is bad for your shoulders > get bike-specific multi-tools > riding through suburbs sucks and should be avoided > bikepacking you will need a shower (I am thinking just ride into civilazed campgrounds for it, afaik nobody locks those showers. > don't forget sunscreen (I did) > if ATVs are allowed on the trail - avoid it, their wheels loosen gravel and make it barely passable for a bike

>>1517658 i guess you couldve rubbed mud on your body for sunblock if you were going to shower anyway.
it would also have just been funny to see a bikepacker that dirty.
more seriously, pine needle tea is a great cold remedy. high in vitamin c but more importantly, strong antimicrobial properties.

How do you like the alpine pot for cooking? How's the steel quality?

>>1517871 Lol. Though yes, pine needles are a source of vitamin C, once you got a bronchitis going - you better look for tussilago or thyme.
>>1517877 My "cooking" is usually instant mashes potatoes/oatmeal, but I love the pot as a container for fire kit and stove.
>>1517879 Good pack desu. I bought it last year for one-day trips with my lil one, but tgen it just became my everyday bag.

Part of me wants to plant them around the property as a phuk-yoo to trespassers but that would be pretty psychotic and also they would just spread and fuck the whole neighborhood

>>1517887 I knew it was a nutritious edible, basically a salad ingredient. Personally, I think it doesn't taste great. But the medicinal properties are interesting. Still, doesn't change the fact that it's one of the most severe invasives in the whole country.
>Hogweed I don't think I've seen one, but other carrot family invasives are certainly all over. Lot's of cow parsley, for instance, which is technically edible. Of course, a little stupid to eat because of multiple poisonous lookalikes.
