Camping in Europe
>Cool nature... but that's all.
Camping in the rest of the world
>Cool nature but also the thrill of possibly being mauled by a bear/mountain lion/tiger/lion/wolves/hyenas/secret cartel smugglers is really making me feel alive!
If you have no dangerous animals the thrill just isn't there.
Imagine a 400 lbs wild boar rips open your femoral arteries with its tusks.
But that's about it with dangerous wildlife.
Eh. Y'all have the Eurasian lynx. I haven't heard of any human predation, but those suckers are big and hunt deer so *theoretically* it could kill a man. And some places got wolves. I always found a pack of wolves to be more unnerving than a single bear. Mountain lions though always keep me on my toes though.
yeah, but lynx are very shy. It's highly unlikely to encounter one.
about the wolves, at least in my region there aren't any. I'm from Germoney, here are some in the east, but just the hunters and farmers seem to have problems with them.
>big
They very rarely get any larger than 30 kg or about 65 lbs in burger units.
Extremely shy animals, I have seen tracks many times, but only seen the cat once.
Have actually seen wolverines more times, literally twice as many.
In my area we have lynxes, wolverines, brown bears, wolves and the most dangerous wildlife here, moose.
Lynx are not really any more dangerous than a feral cat. They're very skittish around humans.
Neither are dangerous. Feral dogs can be.
I carry
more worried about how many tweakers enjoy hiking
>Cool nature... but that's all.
That's where you're wrong. The green one's are DNS/visually confirmes to be wolves. This is 30 minutes outside Stockholm.
>Cool nature... but that's all.
That's where you're wrong. The green one's are DNA/visually confirmed to be lynx. This is 30 minutes outside Stockholm.
>Cool nature... but that's all.
That's where you're wrong. The green one's are DNA/visually confirmed to be bear. This is about an hours drive from Stockholm.
>the thrill just isn't there
Yes but you youtube thumbnail posters don't go outside anyways, so what difference does it make?
>there arent bears/boars/wolves/lynxes... in europe
>they were killed during the Great War in response to battlefield scavenging
There are... I'm talking mostly about west europe not the Carpathian and Russia, and the east euro plains.
I'm sorry but nations like Britain, France, and Germany just have no thrill dangerous animal wise.
>mericamutt never been to france
>not knowing they are still wolves in the mountains and forest
>not knowing that boars are more dangerous than the doggos because they would attack you with pure spite out of nowhere just because you exist.
Please anon..
You do not need bears or big felines to have a scary forest or any kind of ""thrill"".
Even a fox at night can frick your shit up if you have food and your alone.
+ having stuff like mountain lion isn't "making me feel alive" it just kills you. Not even for food, just because you were moving and it might have felt like playing with you.
Enjoy looking like shredded cheese after those cats pounced on your face
>Even a fox at night can frick your shit up if you have food and your alone.
lolno
A cornered fox would probably send you off for stitches, but they're like 30lb full grown
>t.one word answer
You've never had to face one of those frickers that entered your tent and don't know how to get out.
Yes, they will not KILL you, but you will get scars if you try anything imprudent.
Just like
said.
It's cute ! Won't want to touch it though. Don't you have an endemic specie of wild dogs in Australia ? Something like Coyote or Hyenas ? I was almost sure of that.
Got someone in my street who got a finger cut because a squirrel fall on top of them, and they tried to force the fricker off. Treerats are more dangerous than fricking sewer rats.
Lmao cute mouseguard friend
My skin is whiter than all the Black folk that'll frick your sisters and cousins mut.
>It's cute ! Won't want to touch it though. Don't you have an endemic specie of wild dogs in Australia ? Something like Coyote or Hyenas ? I was almost sure of that.
Dingoes are only a threat if you're a baby.
This guy gets it. You should see the squirrels here. Mean motherfrickers. As like to kill you as look at you.
FIAT NUX
The Algerian is afraid of ze fox
sadly there's nothing to moll you in Australia :[
*Maul
Down here it's more the unseen dangers.
Like the squawking c**t who keeps swooping you.
Australian wildlife is a meme, you have to be a complete fricking idiot to die from a snake or spider bite and it's just pure chance if a shark gets you. Besides that not much is actually a threat. Crocs perhaps if you up far north. But again that's because you're a fricking gronk who swims in front of signs that say this water is full of crocs
>secret cartel smugglers is really making me feel alive!
Yeah that's not a thrill at all. That's why you stay on trail in the Sierra Nevada.
Yeah I'm sure there are a lot of cartels 400 miles north of the border in buttfrick nowhere mountains. American larpers are so cringe.
Actually more true than you might realize. Cartels set up way out in the middle of nowhere to farm. I read about some farms being found in America recently. Its not out of the question
This is just the most recent one I remember off the top of my head
https://www.nps.gov/deva/learn/news/dangerous-marijuana-grow-site-discovered-in-jail-canyon.htm
You'd hear a lot more about them if something was being done about it. 400 miles is nothing. They're much further north. In fact southern oregon is more popular for cartel grows than northern california because of the proximity of the interstate highway to prime growing areas.
>Be in SEA jungle
>Sleeping peacefully innajungle
>Wake up to cold rope slithering on ma legs
>A little jet black spoon noodle entered the tent from just a little opening on the tent zip
>Frozen in fear as the little venom injector tried to get some warmth from my soon to be cold body
>Resigned my fate and just close my eyes as any movement I make would just agitate the fanged rope
>Don't feel it anymore after a few minutes
>It slithered to the underside of my sleeping pad
>Use that moment to get out of the tent asap and get my torch
>Find a big branch to crush the little shit
>Get back to tent and lift the pad
>He's there starting to raise his spoony head
>Smack the motherfricker so many times until it stopped moving
>Throw the carcass outside
>Get back into the tent, this time double check if I fully close the zip
>Really bad sleep because still paranoid
>Gtfo from there in the morning
Never again doing wild camping in the jungle frick that shit, pic not related
just get an hammock bro
>If you have no dangerous animals the thrill just isn't there.
Do you need it to enjoy the outdoors?
Where was it?
the carcass outside
You could have made a nice curry with it.
Where do you have to warch out for wolves in South Europe?
Thanks anon, will keep that in mind when I'm heading for Norway next week.
your pic related is the only really dangerous animal in norway, wolfs and bears are more scared of you. mosk ox will absolutely curb stomp you should you come across one, friend of mine drives freight trains through their habitat and they charge a speeding locomotive head on no fricks given then die in an explosion of brains and guts. but their habitat is so small you neex to seek them out and even then they are hard to find.
>friend of mine drives freight trains through their habitat and they charge a speeding locomotive head on no fricks given then die in an explosion of brains and guts
thats not a elk lol wtf
No, that's an elk. The animal am*ricans call "an elk" is a wapiti.
nice dubs
It's not surprising since the British who colonized America had never seen an elk or reindeer before, so naming the first deer with big horns 'elk' was a somewhat normal reaction.
Can confirm, got spooked by a trio of wolves when working security at night on a construction site near the edge of the forest that's marked as dark green on this map. Motherfrickers move quiet as frick for their size, dogs(in everyday life at least) are much louder.
and bears
The Cantabrian bears are steadily increasing their territory, recently one was seen as far down as Portugal
I would much rather have megafauna as the threat where I live instead of going to pitch my tent and seeing the ground swarming with jack jumpers and funnelwebs. I prefer threats I can see instead of knowing that any random scrub could have redbellies just waiting to be stepped on.
The full list of deadly and you wish you were dead animals in southern Appalachia include. Bears, boars, small mountain cats, stags, high incidence of rabies lately so I'll include foxes and raccoons, copperheads, cottonmouths, water moccasins, black widows, brown recluse, hobo spiders, cartels, schizos, druggies, the indigenous serial killers, the Japanese giant wasp, leeches, geese, centipedes and millipedes, and wayward pitbulls.
cottonmouth/water moccasin are the same thing
I agree - Europe is in a sad state of affairs. The UK in particular is the laughing stock of PrepHoleists all across the world: lovers of nature living in the UK should consider moving, or, if easier, suicide. Never mind the Pakis.
Well they are a little late to the party but I think Brits should still head over to the states.
I'm from Southern Europe and when we go trekking or camping, while the risks to meet dangerous animals are very low, you still have to look out for boars and wolves.
What a noice summer's day. I reckon I'll go down the beautiful beach that looks like paradise and have a swim!
>nah frick you c**t it's time to die in agony, in more pain than you can ever possibly imagine.
oi moite. i heard you like choking on blood while you suffocate to death?
>Camping in Europe
>>Cool nature... but that's all
Good, it's practically counted as treason just for carrying a knife so I'm glad there's no predators because I can't carry anything to protect myself
The tourists keep wearing dinner bells for the bears. They smell like deet and sunscreen.
central european here, a bear literally killed a guy in front of his cabin last year
had several serious bear maulings this year and confrontation are literally a daily occurrence
Camping in Europe
>Cool nature... but that's all. Oh, never mind. The forest cops came up to my spot and are going to fine me because I didn’t sleep in one of the authorized spots that you have to pay for each night you stay.
>America and Europe are only places on earth
Frick outta here moron.
Only places worth something/
>tfw live in bear country
The most dangerous animals in NA dont like to go in the woods in the first place
all brown bears deserve the rope
You have bears in the Pyrenees
I always carry a 357 loaded with some hot fmj rounds. Good penetration will take down a large animal easily. Moved from a no guns area and it makes the biggest difference for confidence in the outdoors.
