Not sure but I've heard it a few times. Many old native cultures use it in a similar way. Even the Catholics use it if you've ever been to a catholic funeral you'll see it.
1) incense is a hold over from.previous religions
2) it was basically a way to physically impose whatever god being worshipped on the congregation. A good smell vs the earthly mass of flesh.
3) animals hate our sounds and smells.
>bugs are repelled by the smoke >larger animals/predators smell the smoke and avoid you
anything related to the supernatural/paranormal is up to your own sensibilities
Is there an alternative to cigarettes/nicotine stuff? I hate ticks, but I'm not willing to get an addiction to that shit.

Down here in Zambia. Some people believe smoking indoors chases evil Spirit away especially weed smoke. So it kinda a thing when you move into a new how to smoke in every room and around the perimeter.
I think everything angers him. He got called out for not going outside, and he started spouting nonsense about trannies, women, zoomers. He hasn't actually managed to address the fact that he doesn't go outside, on a board dedicated to the outdoors.

Sage for the woo woo injuns too. Smoke is near universal.

That's what I figured it was. I've never read his books because they seem like lazy marketing gimmicks. This meme seems kind of half-assed too.
that's it. i dont know anything else it would just be conjecture. im going to struggle to explain but it's a sense i get whenever i spend more than 7 days out there alone. idk the parts of my brain which control senses that are usually passively waiting for ques which only exist in human society, passively listening for voices, thinking about what to say to people, looking for human figures, reading body language, are stripped away and i am now part of nature, my brain enters a more calm state where i think more clearly and can sit thinking about absolutely nothing just blankness and i am left with a deep sense that this place is inhabited by unseen being it's like i can feel them, it doesnt always happen but in some areas i get it quite strongly. i havent ever seen anything and would prefer not to

Rule #1 of s/kPrepHole safety is flushing your antiphsycotics down the toilet
I mean... that's why they made the meme in the first place. After COVID I don't think the majority of this board actually goes outside. The average post here seems to confirm my suspicions. I think nu-out definitely believes in that kind of stuff because they never go outside and actually see how nature is.
I have been out pretty much 9months out of a year for the last 5 years for work and spending time alone and with rural folk kinda starts making you a little superstitious.
I feel more alive in the woods, even if it's not that remote. As long as everything that shouldn't be there is out of sight. Just breathing feels fantastic. Listening to the wind through the tops of the trees and letting my focus soften so I can see all of the motion of the branches and leaves around me. It's not necessarily a peaceful feeling, but a very raw and real feeling, that just being in the wilderness has some importance. I feel like I'm vibrating, like I am where I should be.
If I died the riverbeds and rotting leaves would smell the same, the wind would sound the same, and that's good. I don't think that I was meant to be around people as much as I am. I don't think that the human animal was meant to have as much free time as we do nowadays. Few of us are truly at home there, in the woods, how can we be, we're aliens from our modern world, and our brains know it.
That anxiety is just straight up fear of the unknown. The first time I heard a fox scream in the middle of the woods, I thought that someone was being murdered, I was jacked up, my heart was pounding. It sounded like it was coming from all around me. Do we know everything that's out there? I don't know. I don't even know for sure that it *was* a fox, but I know it was real. I know that in that moment I was alive.
An hour later a deer walked up. That tense moment when you *know* that it wasn't just the wind in the leaves, that there is something moving out there, a couple steps at a time. Deer are always scared, female deer especially. I was about 50 yards away in a permanent blind with a double layer of screen and just lifting my rifle that half foot up, painstakingly slow, and she bolted. I wasn't trying to take a shot at that deer, since it was out of season, but I still got that feeling. That quiet steely focus I get when I'm hunting. It's why I love it really. That unnerving feeling of being watched is like that, it's an ancient feeling.
Sometimes I larp on nu-out.
>Sometimes
You keep saying that self flagging phrase in all the threads. YWNBARW
You gave a good try, but we all know you don't go outside.
>spoilers
And you probably never will.
obsessing over phantom troons doesn't make you any less defective, schizoids are just another form of degeneracy and go in the same oven as the rest.
smoke protects how?

you mean like incense sticks? don't think they smoke with their mouth

Mosquitoes and other biting insects don't like nicotine
Is there an alternative to cigarettes/nicotine stuff? I hate ticks, but I'm not willing to get an addiction to that shit.
You get ticks by brushing against branches and leaves, smoke wont do anything
With that attitude you have already lost.
Keep an open mind.
Go out and sit somewhere and make a fire.
It reveals the presence of invisible forces, so they fear it

Damn Zambian anon? How's the PrepHole there?
Stop asking questions, just play along with the "woods are le scary and I'm dark and mysterious" larp
Nah. You are still here
If you say so. Without people like you I'd not have free time and money forever.
>sunshine angers the skizo
kek, I'm older than your parents kiddo.

I posted my outside right after going outside.
Is me stupid. Defeated.
No lmao.

Explain this picrel, I am missing context on whatever this is about. Is this just a collection of missing 411 nonsense
I don't get it
>Is this just a collection of missing 411 nonsense

Do any of you guys actually believe things from the OP pic?
there are quite a few actual skizos here, but most of the chatter is maladaptive daydreaming, /in/cels engaging in shared fantasy.
after spending 30 days alone in the mountains I believe in all sorts of weird shit
Such as? Share with us
that there are things which exist in remote untouched areas that we do not understand
Ok go on, it won't bite you while you're at your computer anon
that's it. i dont know anything else it would just be conjecture. im going to struggle to explain but it's a sense i get whenever i spend more than 7 days out there alone. idk the parts of my brain which control senses that are usually passively waiting for ques which only exist in human society, passively listening for voices, thinking about what to say to people, looking for human figures, reading body language, are stripped away and i am now part of nature, my brain enters a more calm state where i think more clearly and can sit thinking about absolutely nothing just blankness and i am left with a deep sense that this place is inhabited by unseen being it's like i can feel them, it doesnt always happen but in some areas i get it quite strongly. i havent ever seen anything and would prefer not to

i just find it fun to pretend that skinwalkers etc etc stuff exist but i dont actually believe that it does exist
funny, skinwalker-like beings is one of the only out "supernatural" things that I do believe
I imagine that op's pic is related to these ones
