Because we're totally not spending all our time inside on Facepunch!
Hiking, Camping, and the Outdoors!
Where to Hike
Use this link to find hiking areas near you.
Remember, hiking doesn't always need to be in areas designated solely for hiking, just go outside!
Don't trespass or you will get arrested.
Don't trespass or you will get shot (in some places).
Definitely do not engage in any illegal or underage consumption of prohibited substances while outside the safe, sheltered, seclusion of your own home.
Take Pictures
And share them here in this thread! I'll append some of my recent ones to the end of this OP.
We want to see everything.
We need to see nothing.
Here's a weird article on taking better hiking photos if you're into that kinda thing (?).
We don't need professional photos, pretend you're trying to convince viewers of how much fun the great outdoors can be.
This guy is a FP user and takes some sick ass shots.
Where to Shop
Bradagonia
Eagles Nest Outfitters (the best hammocks ever (can't go wrong with a double nest))
REI (West Coast)
Eastern Mountain Sports (East Coast)
Probably more
Why to be Outside
Science has probably proven that being outdoors improves anxiety, stress, and releases more dopamine into your system.
Being outdoors allows you to engage in other activities that do the same.
You can tell people you're an outdoors-man (or woman)
You see spectacular views from the small subtle movements of nature to the massive formations of land.
Really just give it a shot it's a lot of fun once you get into it.
Keeps you fit.
