My wife is a 4/10 and she's always working and hates being out in the woods. But she's a doctor so I'm not mad about taking our 2 dogs and 4 year old out by myself.

Fuck off, hit whore

>>1025653
Fair enough.

Moron.

>>1025480

>the underside of my scrotum

Nice. That had to be fun to pull off.

Highest up my pants I've found one on is my thigh.

ive had two ticks on my balls
fuck ticks

i found a bird today and picked it up and now i think i have bird mites

Eh, some are alright some are trash. I feel the ones who started early and before the rest are the only ones worth it or that even get noticed. Same with any genre on YouTube. Unless you get one viral situation

>>1025088
Some are pretty good. Most are garbage "reviews" by people trying to push their amazon referral link.

I just do silent first person perspective dont care about ads or making money from views, just fun to record.

Also, they last much longer than conventional shoes.

>>1024082
Only for certain day hikes. I'd rather not drag my feet through brush full of ticks unprotected if I can help it. If it's going to be wide cleared paths then sandals are comfy.

NE please fix your tick problem.

>>1024082
Tevas are my backup to boots
One trip, my boot delaminated and I was glad to have them
Sandals are fine on the trail as long as it's not too rocky
Off trail, over talus, nofuckingway

Gas station

No-name Chinese bullshit, probably sold under a hundred different names. Those "nylon spacers" are cheap knife crap too, I'm afraid.

Don't bother trying to modify it, just buy a Kershaw.

dumb idea, it won't have air flow and thermaldynamics rometely similar to a campfire situation so it's a poor simulator to begin with, plus it's not designed to hold a roaring fire. if you're just trying to practice getting tinder to take a flame you can just do that on a brick.

>>1023385
I got no problem with tinder, but i need practice making long lasting, low maintenance fires. I could build another fire pit i guess

>>1023385
wouldn't opening the ash slots on the bottom and leaving the top off give it more than enough airflow?

I've had medically diagnosed Lyme disease twice, and I have all of the symptoms of chronic Lyme.

Got trichinosis from a bear fry. Nobody even fucking told me it was bear. Assholes.

Couldn't tell you the number of times I've had some intestinal bug or similar from drinking contaminated water (always either with treatment or from a commercial source that was supposed to be trustworthy). Just goes to show that anything other than boiling isn't foolproof.
>injury
Following my dad down a trail and a hawthorn branch had snagged on his pack. Naturally it ripped out and whipped me in the face, driving a ~4" hawthorn spine clear through my nose sideways. Still have the scar 22 years later, looks like a chicken pox scar. Missed my eye by less than an inch.

Why the fuck would anyone ever do this?

>>1023099
I do this, mainly for the advantages in durability, especially when you sleep outside day in and day out for years at a time

>>1023093
reenactors and history buffs tend to use wool blanket systems, but they will also tell you to not be stupid and try to use them in freezing conditions. learn the tenets of heat conservation

it's relatively heavy for a backpacking pack (5 lb 5 oz, iirc), but it fits me perfectly, has fantastic pockets, and its suspension kicks ass with heavy loads, which is important for me because i like to carry heavy ass climbing shit into the backcountry of the sierra. i tried it and an osprey xenith on back-to-back, and it wasn't even a contest for me.

just finished 'touching my father's soul' by tenzing norgay which was pretty amazing, starting on 'a man and his mountains' by norman croucher which seems to be more based on actual climbing and a story than the previous. recommend them both though

Thanks for the recommendation, will check it out.

Self inflating raft, grappling hook.

So yeah, the question is: how do I cross the river?

>>1022828
Don't have a raft. Was thinking about tying a rope over the river, putting the bicycle and backpack on it and guiding them to the other side while swimming myself.

I went to a park a few years ago and ended up getting stuck on a coaster for about 30 minutes on the lift hill. Had to end up climbing down the stairs.

How is this /out/ related?
