This is why I proudly advocate the "being outdoors is fucking weak" platform. What the fuck is the point of being outdoors? You'll get sunburned, you'll get bug bites, you'll get mauled by bears, and you can't play Nintendo. Being outside is for animals only. Being inside is where it's at, and it's where civilized people stay.

I told this story to my wife and she didn't seem bothered by it at all. I think thats because she is one of those indoor civilized people.

I had a good balance of playing outdoors and staying inside to play Nintendo as a kid and I continue that today. When I look back on my childhood, the outdoor fun, the swimming in rivers, the camping, the cave exploring all stand high and above playing Nintendo. If my childhood was devoid of all outdoor experiences, I'd have probably turned into a serial murderer

Very much this.

Except replace rivers with beach and caves with building tree forts.

See Syd!

It isn't that bad, Woodzy has only been eaten by bears on 4 occasions.

That was in my stupid hippie phase where I thought I could peacefully coexist with bears for years and years and thought that one day they wouldn't just fucking eat me. Because they are bears.

Actually, that wasn't me at all.

I sincerely wish this thread would die so I could quit seeing it in this forum and quit being reminded that I outlived a 19 year old girl by not getting eaten alive by bears.

I actually did spend a decent amount of time outside as a kid, and it was fun. But as an adult, the outdoors have absolutely nothing to offer me. The only time I'd be inclined to be outside really is at some sort of house party or cookout, or at Disney World. Disney World is like a fixed version of outside with no bugs or bears and with plenty of shade.

Posted: Aug 22 2011 03:16 pm

disneyland has very little shade and too many people. but, it still is the happiest place on earth.

Posted: Aug 22 2011 03:19 pm

Yeah the outside isn't as much fun for me as an adult. I mean even as a kid I'd have to watch how long I was out anyway because I burn so easily even with sun screen on but now I have practically no reason to be outside with the exception of get-togethers and walking to classes. On the plus side if I do venture outdoors there are many portable electronics that allow me to play video games or read out there, and there are very few bears in Illinois, with the exception of the Chicago Bears and those ones are lame.

I've been to Disneyworld, and I'm positive that camping in the woods provides more shade. I'd also rather shit outside than in one of those disgusting public restrooms.

But anyways, bears. They eat people.

I'd like to point out that serial killers are more likely to be outdoorsy types. I mean, you need to hunt for victims, you need to know where you can kill people without their screams being heard, and you need to have a dumping ground. All of those things are much easier to do outdoors. Also, a good serial killer needs to be able to adapt quickly and camping and shit helps prepare you for that.

This thread got hilarious real fast.

bullshit. you dont need to be outdoorsy at all to be a killer. the only time you would ever venture out would be to acquire said victim. otherwise, you can kill him indoors & chop him up indoors. and if you play enough puzzle games and FPS, you automatically learn how to adapt to quickly changing environments.

What about Dahmer or Gacy or Holmes or Ramirez or Fish or BTK or Gein or that couple that Rope Burns was about? They certainly killed and hid or left the dead indoors, or at least in vans. Your're just focusing on the Bundy / Green River types, but really there's all sorts out there.

Back on topic I love taking trips to the woods, so relaxing. I'd hate being stuck out there though.

I walk around all the time. It relaxes my mind. I don't like the possibilty of getting beaten up though.

Finally! A way I can justify my ways of staying inside almost always whenever possible! Very Happy

At least bears won't try to rape you. Bigfoot doesn't give a fuck, he just sees your ass and wants it. Pretty much the same with the yeti, but only in snowy mountains. Just keep an emergency salmon in case a bear comes around, that should keep them away.

Ed Gein is attributed to killing maybe three people, and as such rarely fits the model of a serial killer. The multitude of bones and bodies found in his house were actually dug up from a nearby cemetery.

I've had the itch to go camping recently, and thankfully there aren't too many bears in FL.

But we do have Boars, and they are scary. When I was in Boyscouts I had one chase me and I had to climb up the little cement bathroom area and sit on top of it until it got bored and left. That thing had some angry looking tusks.

I've spent weeks out in the woods before and I must say, I've only killed people for food. In doors, it's for the sexual thrill... wait

Also on the bears, did they do ANYTHING to provoke them? I went to a area where bears were common and the rangers I talked to all said the same thing "If you see a bear, don't make any sudden movements, allow them to eat any food and don't try to be a hero and make noises." Then at night a damn bear and her cubs came up and stole or dinner rolls, jumped twenty feet into a tree and ate them. I've got pictures somewhere...

But then you'll smell like salmon, and the bear will eat you too.
