How to get?

By becoming comfortable with being alone
Join a trail crew
wow, pointless comments made by doushbags--shocking truly.
Go back to reddlt.
How’s it pointless to say that
>I don’t have anyone to go with
Might just be an excuse. being alone in the wild is a great feeling.
There are three options.
>MeetUp
There’s either a local one or a regional one. Look into it. It’s literally made for what you’re looking for.
>Facebook groups
Again, there are probably local outdoor groups in your area. Try the nearest city as well (for instance search “Chicago outdoors” even though there are no outdoors in Chicago and the city is an hour away).
>volunteer groups
I’ve run into a few. It’s worth a shot, and also gives you a thing to do on a weekend. It’s fun to pitch in.
That’s endemic of PrepHole and literally the opposite of what you’ll find on Reddit.
Craigslist
Mycological societies
Bird watchers
Local Farmers markets
There are nature walks where I live given by permaculture farmers.
The pointless comments are usually made by reddlt tourists. They say stupid shit and get downvoated and blocked--making leddlt an echo chamber hellhole. They then come here and post all the shit that got them banned from reddlt in the first place.
Craigslist is a terrible idea. Everyone associates it with weirdos and freaks, so that’s what you’ll find. Everything else you mentioned is on Facebook.
>implying
>Everyone
Why do people with mental disorders pretend to represent groups of people. Get help anon.
>t. has multiple ads on CL trying to buy "lightly used toenail clippings"
Frick you motherfricker, those are necessary reagents for witchcraft and hard to find willing doners for. My prices are reasonable.
He's not wrong. That's what people associated Craigslist with back when it was relevant 10-20 years ago
>you didn't tell me how to make friends bloo bloo bloo
Download grindr since you're going to be gay
>doushbags
It's dütchbags you stupid frenchgay.
>pointless comments made by doushbags
it's DEUTSCHBAG, homosexual
A lack of company is not what is keeping you from going outdoors.
Came here to make this thread, guess I might as well bump this one
just go hit the trail and bump into someone, if they're not robbing you chances are you're gonna be friends. the majority of people you'll meet on the trail are not PrepHoleners, I'm 90% guarantee you that they WILL try to strike up a conversation without you even have to do anything
literally just get the frick out and touch grass etc
>friends
where are you?
drop burner.
That's not the point of this thread and you know it.
that's literally how i solved it though, i met guys off PrepHole. made some of the best friends i've ever had.
sounds risky
Life is all about risk, anon. Now let's get together.
yeah because no one's ever been killed at random in the street or by people they met at a bar or beaten for stupid reasons by a stranger they passed on a bridge, or killed by a bear on a trail. facebook and tinder are totally safe guys, the girls there will never steal your money and there is no risk.
you are a fricking coward fricking kys you fudding little shit monger. the only person at risk are idiots like you with no balls.
>killed by a bear on a trail.
Bears have nothing on me. Those bears are b***hes
Anons are more likely to be deranged psychos than tinder Stacys though
Right, just look at the person you responded to. Is that someone that I would like to ever meet in the outdoors?
Hence why I posted
in another thread about "gatekeeping". I would post my hikes on Facebook boomer groups before I ever posted them here. At least they're mostly level-headed, friendly people unlike
and most people on this board that's only good for laughing at imbeciles who post outrageously stupid shit.
To add to my last post, PrepHole has radically changed for the worse since the pandemic. This board had better discussions with far less hostility before 2020. Back then I had no problem listing my contact info and location on an PrepHole usermap that was posted here. I wouldn't even consider doing that now.
What does this have to do with going outside?
Try following the discussion before posting next time. We were talking about meeting people on PrepHole and I mentioned how it's no longer a good idea because the userbase is worse than it was before the pandemic
He won't learn to follow the discussion if you spoon-feed him, anon.
Pre-2020, my posts about umbrellas brought up curiosity or intrigue. I made one about a week ago specifically about how comfy they are in the rain and it was immediately met with scorn and negativity. That attitude turns me off to meeting up anyone from here.
If any of you lives near Edinburg and has a car, or know how to best get to Aviemore, I'll hike Macdui and Cairn Gorm with you next week. Must bring your own equipment.
>Must bring your own equipment.
i have only done this once before, safety not guaranteed.
>how did you solve it?
literally with PrepHole.
met my best mates from here.
>I've still never forgiven you for tracking and locating Raoul Moat
What's PrepHole's deal with Moat?
first time I hear his name mentioned here
I feel like I should get the second one but I don’t
volunteer at a search and rescue
I live in Sweden which has heaps of cool out places but I just fricking hate hiking with other people. I don't want to die alone with no friends though. What do I do?
Volunteer at a summer camp/winter camp.
Work with kids every now and then and you might find a Padawan to train.
Do a Breivik. Then play an exciting game of hide and seek with yiur new playmates. Don't surrender and you won't die alone.
I met one of my good friends on a riverbank
Here's an important question to ask yourself: are you capable of being a friend to someone else?
for example I saw a good friend today, I helped him when he was going through a divorce and he has recently quit weed, with my encouragement, and he is a changed man who has improved himself massively. He's helped me out in the past too and we are both able to talk and communicate despite him being from continental europe. We share some interests, like the outdoors and gardening.
I've spent years learning to overcome my social inability and now i am capable of, and enjoy, socializing normally. one of my favourite questions is simple "what does that mean to YOU?" opens up interesting dialogue options, kek
I’m in this weird spot where I have friends I care about that could use me around but they are in disparate cities and are not good influences on me. I have to choose whether to be around them at my own expense and if so which ones because I can’t choose to be near all of them.
>are not good influences on me
then choose not to be around them ???? simple as. you will be happier.
>Hey man, haven't seen you for a while, do you want to do a hike? I'm keen for <BLAH BLAH 10 MILES EZ ROUTE> on the 28th of Jan or the 3rd of Feb if you're around
WOW SO DIFFICULT
Also if you're an ausgay in melb then drop contact details and I'll take you somewhere on the vline if you have gumtree-tier gear and promise not to arserape or stab me.
Ironically check FB. Lots of groups from hiking and camping, mountain biking, overlanding.
I got other people to talk me by helping them when they need on things like directions or helping them climb a rock, but first you need to muster the courage and experience to go to places alone.
You need to go outside.
>how to get PrepHole friends in your area
You mean how to get someone to take you PrepHole? Just go yourself. My guess is you’re too young or poor.
Well, you start by giving me your bank account details and social security number.
