Well, as the weather gets chillier, Racketman wanted to take one last opportunity to enjoy nature. He had a bunch of super hot chickadees lined up to come with, but they must've got lost. *small brains and all* lol haha lol
Consider this thread an all-in-one stop for your nature hike needs. Racketman knows it all! (Maybe we can get a mod to sticky?)
Anyways, the first thing you will want to do is find a nice clearing to set up your camp. Some people wait too long to set up camp and then it's too late. At first he was a bit confused - first time w/the new tent, but you know Racketman, he got it sorted for realz!
You must always be prepared to capture nature - or nature will capture you! Here we see Racketman breaking out his tripod and mini-SLR as he spots what he believes to be a Nile Crocodile from a distance:
Well, he was wrong (for once, lol) - it wasn't a Nile Croc, but it was the most beautiful leaf he had ever seen:

Here is an example of just eating what is around you:
