I have always had this weird fascination with the idea of owning a shit ton of random land. I see that land in areas like Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada are dirt fucking cheap and I am tempted to just buy a few acres for the fuck of it. Tell me why I am retarded

>>1297250 You are going to get sold desert land that is impossible to access. There are deals just do your due diligence. Pull the plats/surveys from the assessors office. Identify the access easements. Visit the land in person. And remember that if no one has bought it while you were doing all this, you can take a day or two to decide.

>>1297250 Because you're wrong, at least with respect to New Mexico. Land on shitty ranches is still going for over 1k per acre unless you find some out of the ordinary deal where you're buying 1000+ acres.
Most of the land is desert, has no current or anticipated future utility service, is worthless for agriculture of any kind, and doesn't even have an interesting mountain backdrop. Even so, if you could find it for a couple hundred an acre, sure, why not buy ten acres, or a hundred? Protip: you can't.

>>1297250 If you find land in NM for less than $1000 an acre, you better figure out how you're going to land your helicopter on it. We have huge problems with easements and access out here. You might "own" a parcel and never be able to set foot on it because there's no existing road to it, and none of the neighbors want to give you access or sell you a lease on an easement. Usually happens because the person who owned it before you sold off their other parcel chunks in such a way that it fucked your access, so you have no legal recourse. You bought it like you found it, enjoy. My family owns a fair amount of land in NM going back three generations, mostly near water sources which is the only land to own. I have no fucking clue why anyone would buy land out here today. It's such a complete scam, or what you buy is literally like a piece of shitty desert.

look up old mining roads from the 60s and 70s that have been shut down and refurbish them into your own personal trails. that's what I've been doing to get away from the crowds. nobody else goes there because they are not in hiking books or websites. it's easier than carving a brand new trail because the terrain is already broken and flattened out. just make sure you don't make the entrance or beginning too obvious. I usually leave a good 400-500 yards of bushwacking before I put in any real machete work.

>>1296509 I can confirm this. Finland has lots of forest only if by forest you mean 20-40 years old pine- or spruce monoculture filled with ditches to have total control of the soil and water levels and cleansed of any impurities like animals, dead trees and any vegetation that is not the staple tree.
I would rather go for Russia any time.

>>1295699 Was just in Shenandoah a few weeks ago. Dark Hollow Falls is nice, but get there very early if you can, huge crowds.
Bearfence Mountain Trail is my favorite hike. There are two ways to do it-- one way has a rock scramble which is not great for beginners, and the other way is much easier, like less than three miles out and back.
Just driving through Shenandoah is great, watch for all the cyclists though

Hey /out/ been a while. I have a question about the identification of a tool. I was told it was for sharpening twigs and sticks to make tent spikes but I can't find it anywhere on Google. Thought maybe yall would be able to help.
Anonymous
>>1296017 Maybe a tool for tapering wooden pegs used in timber framing. They probably didn't have stupid things like huge pencils back in the early 1900's and I can't think of many uses for sharpened wooden sticks, other than tent stakes.

>>1294005 30 years old, and no. I used to be military and was in the best shape of my life, but that was a few years ago and I lived a pretty sedentary life since then, except for since about 2 months ago when I decided to get back into good physical condition and started hiking/exercising on the regular.
It's been bugging me for about 3 days now and it's getting frustrating because I really want to get back to training for this thru-hike but I'm afraid to take more than a two mile walk with no pack a day.

It's probably tendinitis. I had it.

Quoted By:
Btw tendinitis can take a couple of weeks to heal, and months/years if it goes to tendinosis stage, and you don't feel it worsening when it actually worsens, as in in that very second - it'll stop hurting during physical activity, then hurt even more next morning.

>>1293966 >achilles tendon AT injuries are serious. You likely have a minor tear. They ONLY remedy for this is rest, that is, stay off the foot. You may get buy with if you don't do ANYTHING even remotely strenuous and just walk, but it will take longer to heal and you run the risk of making it worse. My sister was a professional ballet dancer (in addition to being an avid runner and cyclist) and suffered an AT tear in a freak accident. It took a long time to recover and it ended her professional dancing career. It also hampered her running and cycling as she doesn't have full mobility in her foot and if she tries to force it, she runs the risk of tearing it again. Has pain and shin spilts. She's a yoga instructor now and makes pretty good money with her own studio (has some famous clients) but is was a serious impact on her life. As a side note, I have an achillis tendon from a cadaver in my knee replacing ACL and PCL from a knee dislocation that I suffered.

>>1293966 The achilles tendon is one of those human body parts that, if broken, will not ever heal back to a satisfactory state even with the help of science/medicine. I wouldn't risk never being able to walk the same way again. I would give it a week or so and then start back with light excersise and progress from there.
