Ah, now I've got your attention MNHQ; I can almost here the klaxon sounding from here. Smile

I don't mean that F4J, I mean this one;

Goretex. There will be Goretex.

I need an app. I want to point this phone at random insects leaves trees etc. Then I want this phone ( that appears to do everything apart from make a decent cup of tea) to tell me what the leaf insect tree etc is.

Does anyone know of an app? If not if someone terribly clever makes one I will buy it!

Outdoorsy Shite (OS) is v good.. We just need a robust poo troll policy incase of wierdos, or QS Wink

AIBUqatada · 14/03/2012 07:49

Outdoorsy Stuff? [lame]

On the Beaten Track? (since the MN secretists have taken all the quieter routes)

QuintessentialyHollow · 14/03/2012 00:03

Actually. Os is not inventive enough. It has to encompass the outdoorsy spirit totally and be called QS.

Slubberdegullion · 14/03/2012 00:00

Wicking socks Olivia. Why would anyone want a non-wicking sock? That would be like going outdoors for pleasant stroll in verucca socks.

Outdoorsy Shite (the name) has to stay now. We're too well settled in with it now for it to be changed. And anyway it shortens to OS which still pleases me.

Other things we want to talk about is
Nature
Walks
Outdoor gear encompassing a whole shed load of gore-tex and fugly alternatives to the school run coat that actually keep you warm and dry and also have a map pocket.
Geo-caching
Energetic outdoor activities such as climbing, fell running, that thing when you run with your bike over your shoulder, paddling about in things.
Cafes that do a nice mug of tea and bacon butty when you have completed said outdoor activities.
Edible fungi
Non edible fungi
How to hide to spot stuff

Oh it just goes on and on.

And I BET there'll be no shit-storms on OS. Joy and health and warm-fuzzy feelings it will give back to the board. Just like the campers and knitters and those chicken people.

GrimmaTheNome · 13/03/2012 23:48

Oh yes, Quint's post qualifies.

That's the thing about Outdoorsy Shite. You know when you've stepped in the real thing.

(I don't dig holes for my dog but I have had to wipe his bottom occasionally. I imagine most people omit that step for their canine walking buddies)

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 13/03/2012 23:44

Grin well it is shite outdoors!

I could fit in well on this new topic, i spend most of my time outside shovelling shite!

QuintessentialyHollow · 13/03/2012 23:43

I had my FINEST moment on that thread.

I think my 10 steps for Wild Shitting should somehow be epitomized.

GrimmaTheNome · 13/03/2012 23:41

No, I think proper outdoorsy shite has to be from wild or farm animals.

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 13/03/2012 23:40

Would this qualify as outdoorsy shite? Hmm

GrimmaTheNome · 13/03/2012 23:03

this was my favourite (till the last couple of posts)

Wasn't 'Outdoorsy Shite' suggested by RowansMumsnet in the first place?

Northey · 13/03/2012 22:46

There are samples of the kind of thing in our polite and responsible sit in in World Cup 2010. It's generally things like outdoor clothing, interesting nature spots, favourite short walks with children or long distance paths. That sort of thing.

OliviaMumsnet · 13/03/2012 22:43

We don't give a toss about uncouthness, Grin I just wonder if other likeminded folk wouldn't know where to find you under your current proposed name.
What is it you want to talk about again? Non-wicking socks? What else???

Will also remind the powers that be about your request.
Grin

jaquelinehyde · 13/03/2012 22:41

Grin Oh please, please, please call it outdoorsy shite!

Northey · 13/03/2012 22:38

I think we are probably open to suggestions, if the uncouthness of Outdoorsy Shite is the only remaining barrier. Or we could even think of some ourselves, if it would help.

OliviaMumsnet · 13/03/2012 22:36

Ack, I have baby lambs here in Mumsnet's country outpost, don't try and make me melt with that one Grin

Do you have a proper name for these nonpuppetting socks topic?
Other than outdoorsy shite? HmmGrin

Northey · 13/03/2012 22:35

Cushioning too, to allow the user to accept blows with equanimity.

AIBUqatada · 13/03/2012 22:25

There might be sock puppetry if we can find puppeting socks that wick properly, to keep the user's true identity cool and dry on heated threads

There'll be no trolls or sock-puppetry here, we're very low maintenance.

Oh please MNHQ. We've proved we can look after a topic of our own and you won't be left feeding it and cleaning out for 8 years till it dies
