Not related but I felt like sharing.

I don't treat often. I carry iodine or a filter but usually opt to drink without using it. I think it's a combination of two things
1. Having a tolerance/proper gut biome to deal with the water.
2. Knowing what sources to drink from- it's hard to explain here, but you can tell most of the time if it's actually a spring or just a stream that went underground for a little bit.

Sawyer or boil. I've drank questionable water with both, and never had any issues.

The swampiest stuff I've downed I boil. Use it to make tea to hide the taste, add it directly to whatever meal I'm rehydrating, or boil then sawyer. Cleans up the taste really well.

It's hard to get past the mental barrier at first, but I don't even think twice about drinking boiled or filtered water out of the most stagnant of sources. Obviously find the freshest around, but you can only use what's available.

Tl;Dr go /out/ more.

>>1027313
It is. Just look out for skinwalkers.

idk about national parks but all parks i can think of prohibit sleeping in your car, camping in general in your car but i think it might be different for the nps

>>1027400
>prohibit sleeping your car

lmao no way

You stay in your urban cesspool is what you do

Well that was interesting.
I don't understand the appeal of hunting/fishing but more power to ya.

>>1027180
I plan to.
I just saw the /out/ banner on the new cross board banner thing and wondered what it was you all do.
Iv been here for years and never once visited /out/.

That's literally it though, a stronger heavier blade is more effective at chopping

>>1026838
Op on mobile. But what about bk2 or thinks like boker folders come to mind. Is it just for meme value?

>>1027531
My dad got me a bk2 for an engagement present a while ago. It's a pretty sweet knife in terms of it being just a huge chunk of steel, but that's about it. It has average quality steel, and holds an ok edge. It does chop and such very well, but it's so heavy you might as well just carry a small hatchet.

Not meme tier in my opinion, but not a knife that I would take hiking or camping all the time.

>tfw tackle warehouse says orders will be possibly delayed due to large order volume and down time from the holiday weekend

:'(

>>1026725
She is so happy about that fish her right eyebrow shifted over.

For those that do drop shot, do you vary the length of your drop or do ya'll tie it about the same every time?

Is there a functional difference between a dropshot rig and a splitshot rig?

Local and state laws are where to look, mostly.

>>1025963
Stop trying to kill your neighbors dog OP

>being literally to dumb to type in " your state + trapping laws / hunting laws private property" into google

buy hey no problem in mongolia pretty much everything is legal. your were asking a about mongolia right ? you didn't name a location. And your are asking on a mongolian horse leather tapestry forum, so we can only assume.

if you believe some of what is written on this board, gore-tex will never work and leaves you wetter than standing in the rain (according to them), some loons rant that they would rather be warm and wet wearing pile and pertex, yet nobody else seems to agree with them since no-one buys/wears it, eVent seems to have all but disappeared, neoshell is going the same way but both apparently work better than gore-tex but none of them actually work at all, but yet again nobody seems to be wearing wax/wool coats other than larping/wannabe bushmen that never go anywhere, but that's only because we all need to be 'woke' from the gore-tex conspiracy

and pretty much all fabrics become useless once the dwr wears out anyway since none of them will breathe once saturated on the outer layer which is why i re-proof everything every time i wash it... so take your pick

Yep, rucksacks destroy jackets too. There are lots of systems, including ventile, and paramo, but I'm interested in a pack away waterproof. The 2.5 and 3 layer pertex looks interesting. I'm more interested in breathability than absolute waterproofing

>>1025718
Also, with this lightweight gear you have to be OK with it only lasting a season or two.

And there's at least two P&P anons

Fuck me.. oh well. Roll with it.

>>1025243
Going to go crayfish hunting this year. My understanding is I just need a rocky creek and a bucket. Any advice?

>>1025254
Pretty much, yes. My advice would be: take some liquor for when it fails. It always fails, goddammit.

>skydiving
fuck, that's one sport i've intentionally not tried yet for fear it'd become another addiction and i'd spend a fuckload of money jumping out of airplanes for that rush. Not for lack of knowing people in that sport either.

Recently, it's when I raced x-games. That shit was way above my skill level. Filling out insurance/waivers/etc in the morning was fine, nothing out of the ordinary... when the groomers were pushing the snow around on the track, that's when I started getting nervous... "Oh fuck, what am I doing here..."

Did better than I thought I would, especially for as nervous as I was. Placed higher than a couple of pretty big names, which was exciting.
Definitely glad I did it.

There are better forums to share your sobriety with.

I go /out/ to get away from trainwrecks like you.

well that's sad. doubt they're gonna find em though. unless someone talks.

>>1020408

>White genocide is real
Why is /lol/ always right?

I work in horticulture if that counts.

>>1019275
No way. Me too. How much do you drink?

>>1019280
I used to drink two six packs on work nights and a slab (24 cans) on the weekend. Now I don't drink at all. Also I have to ask, where you from?

Kind of an /ORG/ or /OLG/ Over on O. That is Offroad general and overland general respectively. Org is usually kinder to newer people.

>>1014712
I had a built D1 Rover, 3", NATO wheels, dunlops, lockers, etc etc etc but outgrew it. Now I just run my /out/ings from a relatively stock k2500 suburban

>>1014712
More >>>/trv/ or >>>/o/ than >>>/out/ I think. I mean all you are doing is driving around.

Yeahhh... no

Tajikistan is currently a hot bed for Al-Qaeda associated groups, so have fun wandering around the lawless tribal areas with your bright blue northface jacket. I'll see you on Liveleak in 6 months.
