Champagne corks are very good for drying flies; better than other corks because they have a built-in tie on point for lanyards.

Yeah that's kind of the point, I WANT them to murder the shit out of each other. I want to have a miniature riverbed in my living room, bloodthirsty food chain and all. Minimal assistance on my end keeping them alive.

You won't be able to have a self sustaining system in your house mang. You'd still have to feed them and replace the ones that get eaten.

amazing, i was just looking for this video myself and couldnt find it

im positive it was because it was a really poor show of cooking. eggs do this thing that defies logic where if you scramble them into a dish, they never cook throughly, and turn the dish into a sloppy egg mess. thats fine for congee or etc but not things like fried rice or "mountain man"-1 pot meals

he knew he fucked up when he looked at it, and tried giving it to the dog, who also didnt want it. its fine, everyone fucks up eggs

Dave cant help but lie to his viewers, Idk why anyone gives him support unless they enjoy stolen valor, bad ideas, animal cruelty, and manlets.

Use google maps on your cellphone. They have an offline option.

Accurate/reliable covers pretty much everything. Give the antenna clear view of the sky, anything manufactured in the last decade will be fine.

Garmin's pretty much "the standard" others are compared to. Also the most community-supported when it comes to maps and databases.

Most modern receivers can take mapsets.
Make sure you get a receiver with a µSD card slot - internal memory is usually quite limited.
I also suggest a color display - when you add maps and the data that comes with them, grayscale gets real hard to read.

There's sites with free maps - gpsfiledepot.com comes to mind. Check that out, if they have coverage of the areas you're interested in then give those maps a shot. Otherwise, the Garmin topo maps are pretty good. Some areas are hit-or-miss for coverage and quality.
I run the Garmin maps on my GPS - CityNav covers US/CA/MX, and Topo I have split into a couple different regions. With as much and as often as I travel, I like having a consistent quality map on the GPS.

Don't need the top-of-the-line GPS to get the basic features you're interested in. My old 76Cx does exactly what you're looking for.
eTrex is solid, capable, and affordable.
Oregon and Montana are on the higher-end, they're good.

Some smartphone apps aim to replace a GPS receiver, but of all the ones I've tried, I keep falling back on my 76Cx because of its form factor, durability, and mounting options.

I work in the woods (USFW ecologist) and I use a Garmin GPSmap 64st.

The "st" just means that it comes pre-loaded with topo. I wouldn't have gotten the topo if my work didn't pay for it because you can download it for free.

Its useful for marking waypoints and the "birds eye" is great. As accurate as I need it too.

I would stay away from touch screens. Seems great until you have to use gloves or slightly wet hands.

Where was your tent?

>>1090354
Campsite. Went for a dayhike.
Again, I shouldnt have left it, but fuck.
Not a trailer park campground. No water, no electric. Didnt expect this degenerate behavior.

>>1090359
It's usually other homeless in the area.

>>1090023
they don't reflect fire for sure

never made one but from what i hear, they're effective for trapping heat for your campsite.

They work, but are unnecessary assuming you've got appropriate clothing and sleeping gear. By all means have fun with it though.

Getting raped by hobos is gonna do that, yes.

>>1089506
I go walk down by the freights all the fucking time and rarely see hobos, and if I do they're drunk off their ass or sleeping. You're fucking retarded.

Dont know about ABC watches but I did buy ths twin sensor Casio some two years ago. Has a compass and a thermometer, mineral glass, 200m WR. pretty solid for $50.
I wouldnt consider getting a watch with a barometer/altimeter because the sensor can be sensitive to dust and water, plus the max WR on most ABC casios is 100m and I go diving often

Don't be cheap. Get a Protrek. It will save your life. Pic is not so expensive with triple sensor.

Protrek without solar charge costs around only $60 with full triple sensor.

archeology would be really boring if most people didn't.

Finally someone who understands.

No one wants to dig up modern shit.

Forgot to say, good travel/vagabond fiction would also be welcome. Books like The Beach, The Drifters, etc.
And please don't suggest I ask on /lit/, because they'll just call me a "pleb" and start moaning about "genre fiction".

>>1088894
Hatchet...if you don't mind kids books...also My Side of the Mountain

Jon krakauer's books are really good. Not fiction but written like novels.

You shouldn't run away, you can't outrun them anyway and may trigger their hunting instincts.

But the chance that those would have actually harmed you was very low.

If it's a shepard, then it's probably just trying to scare you back to the rest of the herd.

>cheap, quality
milsurp, your only chance.
forget about weight or storage ability.
Also, you are fucking retard, without telling where you go and what you plan doing there is no way to recommend you a certain type of tent or alternative solutions.

I know it's a meme scent that's bad for my health, but cedar carries a lot of /out/ nostalgia for me.
Still, I wish I could buy north Cascades wildflowers/trees in a bottle. I don't know of anyone that mass produces a wild range of outdoorsy scents.

I got bored and tried making pine tar but didn't know that I needed dry fatwood and instead just used green pine branches.

Turned out to make a wonderful smelling super thin liquid that was kinda like smokey pine. I still make some on occasion because it smells fucking amazing and keeps the bugs off.
