You don't need to bump your own thread. If it's not getting replies it's because it wasn't worthy of replies.

Northeasterner? Looks like Maine or NH, maybe some VT. What's your favorite activity? Hiker?
Mostly a dispersed camper here. Can you guess my state or region?

not as much as i wanted to, due to medical issues, only went canoeing 3 times, did harvest quite a lot of "rams" spring onion when they were in season, biked a few good trails with a few good friends, had a few good mushroom hunting trips in autumn, found some good shelters that me and my friends are planning on visiting come spring.
i dont really have any winter camping planned, mostly because it is likely to remain snowless, and camping in slushy mud just isnt fun at all.
looked into getting an electric motor for my canoe just for shits and giggles, so that might be the late winter-early spring project
oh, and i rarely take pictures, so...

I went outside so much this year that I stopped posting on here. I can't relate to most of this board anymore. i did a ton of traveling, did some /out/ school programs, got an /out/ job, and now I visit the board maybe a handful of times a year.

I apologize for it not being much. I’ve only started going /out/ recently. Not shown is that there’s at least more than one /out/ing each month. I also haven’t done much of what is considered true /out/ with national parks or forests or mountains, but I’ll get to that. I do live in Texas so options are limited

You have to change your activities with the seasons.
Jan-Apr - ski season - 2-3 weeks of cross country skiing, bird hunting on skis
End of Apr - trailrunning
Mai - weekend hikes, hammocking
June/Juli - summer break, chill at a cabin
August/September - hiking, live in tent for 1-2 months
September to January - hunting season
I hike for sport or do hunting or animal photography.

Not nearly as much as I’d like to. My wife had a heart attack due to a 95% blockage in her LAD. Inb4 fat; she’s normal (5’ 3”, 120lbs). It took everyone by surprise considering she was 39 years old. If we weren’t a 5 minutes drive from the hospital she would have died. So the past year was spent with her during recovery. Lots of stuff planned for the upcoming year though.
Hug your loved ones.

Here's mine, I admit there's some pretty big gaps, I did go /out/ in every month up to November but didn't have pictures to document. In November my daughter was born and since then the most /out/ we've done is a walk around the block.
A summary of the notable outings:
>February
Went on a quick package vacation to Cuba Varadero with my wife. Although most of the time was spent lying on the beach we did do an outing which included snorkeling, cave exploring, and a boat tour of the mangroves pictured.
>March
A quick hike at Plaisance National Park in Western Quebec; nothing too special, just a waterfall and some trails alongside but nice walk.
>May
A weekend trip to New York City which included exploring some really innovative urban parks including the Hi-Line, pictured, which is a former elevated railway converted to a linear park with considerable plantings.
>August
Honestly couldn't find much for the summer although we did a lot of walking and hiking; this is just a snapshot from a walk along the Ottawa River near where we live.
>September
Trip to Portugal; most of it was more urban / heritage than nature but we did spend some time at the beach which was a nice break from the crowds (Portugal is incredibly crowded during tourist season).
>October
Hiking in the Adirondacks. I'm a lazy fat fuck by my wife is athletic and LOVES mountain climbing so we went for a quick weekend trip. Weather was terrible; rainy, cold, and windy. Still got some good hikes in although I was miserable.

Unironically, go outside. Stop seeing winter as cold and depressing. Get yourself some warm clothes, some snowshoes, or some nice insulated hiking boots, and go outside. Start seeing winter as just another season to go outside and enjoy. You will feel better when you continuously go outside instead of letting it get to you.
