all the best reviewed ones seem to be crazy expensive
>does anyone have experience with sleeping with alternatives to store bought sleeping bags?

>>1004325
this thing is used inside the sleeping bag, one review says it causes condensation so I'm not sure how useful it is.

No home brew sleeping bag will be as good as a proper sleeping bag.

you could:

>make a fire instead

>get a synthetic bag. the're only slightly larger and heavier, not even enough to care about. Ultralight fags have made it seem like its down or nothing but that's not the case

>worst case, get a super cheap motorhome sleeping bag. They're gigantic and heavy and horrible and not made for camping but they're sleeping bags and they're cheap.

Land is almost free in middle-of-nowhere Texas, or if you can actually secure a visa you can go die alone in the Australian outback for cheap as well.

In both cases land is cheap because there's no water, social/civil services, and it's not particularly arable so you'll have some big shit to figure out.

Buddy you're going to have to be more specific. Ask questions and I'll do my best to answer them.

Not sure about the plateau, but it must be pretty close to his cabin. That's gone, but with the info on web and some brown belt google-fu, you can find his parcel. Check before and after 1983 on the nearby USGS topographic maps.

Freight train conductor here, don't train hop. It's not pleasant to ride cars, you wont get anywhere interesting, and qualified trainmen get injured and killed hoping on/off moving equipment all the time. It's stupidly dangerous for the average joe.

Also, it's cringy as fuck:

Not to mention the hobo rape.

I figured that would be in the plus column for the average 4channer. How else are you going to lose your virginity?

>tourist trap
Yup.

Couple of really cool spots, but there's a lot of nothingness inbetween and it's all speed limit 45.
You'll be on those roads with hardleys and motorhomes.
Asians fucking errywhere.

Doing it on a motorcycle was nice, since I could easily get around the RVs and slow harleys.

One day through the park was enough for me. There's other cool shit to do/see/ride around (not in) the park.

>>1003143
When did you visit? Would I have better luck in May/September/October?

Mid-july.

Worked out with another event I was going to in that part of the country anyways, took a day to ride through the park.

Don't really think it matters what time of year though; if it's decent weather, expect a shitload of asians and tourists.

A pic of the Suunto

>>999221
>>999222
Get the Suunto.

You won't be disappointed. Battery life depends hugely on what functions you are using, and the GZ panels make up for it anyway. Also has much beefier nav functions than the Casio.

t. Someone who sells /out/ watches for a living

>>999224
Would it take long to charge with the GZ?

It would be my first smartwatch but I really can't get over how useful it would be out in the wilderness with the GPS and all... I already have the G-shock Mudmaster, but since I do a fair bit of fishing/spearfishing etc, I really would benefit from the depth/tide data which is why I was so interested in the gulfmaster.

I suggest trying dumpsters that aren't locked and have good food in them! Ie. Look harder you lout.

Sounds like you should get a second hobby: lockpicking

Try contacting your local homeless guild. They might be able to point you in the right direction, for a price.

I'm 18, male, bisexual, pagan and libertarian. If any of those are a problem, I'm warning you now kek. I don't really care who you are, as long as you're a chill person.

>male, bisexual, pagan and libertarian
You couldn't be more of a meme even if you tried. But if works for you then it's all good.

>>1006002
Lets just face it. Gulf coast states are pleb tier for hiking. May I suggest taking up dirtbiking instead

Why don't you figure out what those things go for and what the cost of production is, then you'll know how much you need to make/sell inorder to live the life you want.

>>1005678
I'm sure you could, but you'd have to market it correctly - that's how you can make a killing for price markups. Really taking advantage of the "organic, hand crafted, wild" etc tags are really popular right now. You might come to despise your demographic though as they'd almost all be hipsters, and you'd have to recognize that you'd be riding a trend. It's not something I think you'd make a great living off of, and it obviously won't the most secure of occupations, but if you're capable of finding, crafting, or processing something that can stand out from factory produced goods then you might be able to make it work.

>>1005678
Absolutely. But you will need to interact with people face-to-face. Sign up for farmer's market stalls, build a website, sell your wares at the markets, include a card to your website with every purchase.

Consider carving downed wood, finding shiny rocks, using shed antlers, etc.

yes, if you look at really old /out/ knives they were similar. don't go too crazy on the length.

There's plenty of better choices, but any blade is better than none I guess.
Thin flat ground blades like kitchen knives are great for slicing, but chip and break easier, especially when doing anything other than slicing.

>>1005233
Yes. She's cool and doesn't complain.

Also it's nice to fuck inside the tent at the end of a long day.

I did a thing

>>1004943
Idk the pattern looks different. Like the blue in green sunfish is usually more like squiggles and this is spots like crappie. I'm sure it's some hybrid lol.

>>1004947
Hybrids of sunfish are really common. Thats why i wouldnt bother figuring out what it is down to the DNA-sequences.

Unless you get something neat like a sunfish + bass hybrid
