i wear a Husqvarna helmet with 3M Peltor Optime III muffs and a Peltor visor.

>>1003388
Well i hope you don't work with a chainsaw then

I guess this is a "tacticool" slingshot.
Honestly with some training any slingshot can be used to hunt small game frome a short distance.

Lake Baikal

>>1000437
This infa 100%
When I was in Moscow my taxi driver was from Baikal, couldn't shut up about how awesome the fishing is there. I also recommend Karelia but definitely not in the winter.

>>998610
I don't know, but I do know that that's a nice fish.

>>998610
I never learned to fly fish, never had any interest in doing so. I use a spinrod and rooster tails on trout streams and manage just fine.

>>998729
Very relevant contribution.

>>998610
No.

If he is part chihuahua he will probably hate any kind of cold and be pretty intolerant to cold. My dog hardly will leave my porch if it's below freezing. He's not a chihuahua, he's a French bulldog, but that single layer short cost really isn't good for cold. A lot of dogs like yours with the lighter coat just so not tolerate any cold at all.

With him being so small, he's probably do fine sleeping in your sleeping bag, as long as he likes it.

No need, slow board. I've got all of The Librarian's stuff (I'm sure he'll be by with a link for you eventually, 6-8gb download), along with topo maps of my area and the foxfire books. All of this is on a micro sd card in a phone in my pack. I've also got an Anker solar panel, and a generic battery pack which will be upgraded eventually. Installed on the phone are the apps Backcountry Navigator and Useful Knots, along with Adobe Reader for the PDFs.

>>994717
did you just say you can download wikipedia with 100 gb?

He lives in a house in rural France with his wife and kids. He's trying to do permaculture on his property, so he can grow his own food and not deplete the land.

i think he's awesome

He's great. It sucks that the laws of France dictate what he can say on his YouTube channel. He got fined thousands for speaking out by "Advocating for violence against minorities" or some BS like that.

Depends on the season and conditions. Light weight nylon for 40-45F and above. Wool for 40 F and below. Also synthetic long john bottoms paired with either material depending on temps.

I've never gone hunting for animals, but I did used to work in a slaughterhouse/ meat packing place until recently. My main job was to be quality control, but I did kill one of the older sheep we had (just to see how I would feel about killing).

I slit its throat with an incredibly sharp knife while it was stunned. The blood kinda flew into my face and down my hands. It was a very dissociative experience. Looking something in the eye and ending it. Then consoling it.

After everything was over I honestly felt very present. Like I appreciated my life more for some reason. I don't think I'd ever do it again, but it was an eye opening experience.

Later I told my gf about it and she was weirdly turned on. We both fucked and the sex was amazing. I have no idea why.

I swear I'm not a freak

Never had an issue with it. Hunted since I was 12 (now 30) also put down several family pets. My biggest problem with hunting is having to haul the near back...The taking of the life, gutting and cutting it up, none if that bothers me at all.

Given I work at a hospital, just last week I walked into the morgue to get some paper work, the people there forgot to flip on the "Procedure in progress" light, so I ended up seeing a seven to ten yr old who was laying on the exam table, with her chest all split open for the autopsy. I felt more from that on so many levels, than I ever had from hunting.

I didn't feel anything the first time due to the adrenaline rush.
If you are there to hunt, your mind is prepared for the job.

Unlike anon above who walked into a completely unexpected situation.


The only thing that felt weird after my first hunt is how warm the body was.
I'm used to meat being cold.

I did this for seven months. Shit was amazing as hell and I'd do it again.

Make sure to keep all your valuables in your car, specially when you go into town. If you got a tent you can easily pack and take with you, I'd do that too, cause people might steal your crap (Some one stoled my tent, I was only gone for 2 hours)

I have random camping gear I got years ago because I was thinking about vagabonding, including a tent, cooking equipment, etc. Did you just pay daily at camp sites, reserve a monthly space, or get a forest pass and camp at random spots in the woods?

>>1003911
Not that guy but I did something similar for 5 weeks. I found a decent spot like 3ish miles from a trailhead on the AT with no restrictions on parking overnight and did that for a bit before I eventually got my shit together and found an apartment.

Wasn't exactly inna woods and I showered/washed my clothes in the shower at a gym in town, but as far as being homeless goes, things could have been worse.

There was a lean to and a semi-functioning well at the camp site so some nights I didn't even bother breaking out the tent if it was already getting dark when I got there. Water filters are handy little gadgets.

Just like how you learn everything else in life, cunt, watch and learn, cunt.

Let's pretend his passion was Nascar driving...

Christopher McCandless sets off, from California in an old car he rebuilt himself (he replaced the fenders and painted it), on a trip to the Daytona 500. He only gets across the state line when he runs out of fuel because he forgot to fill it up. Instead of simply walking to the nearest gas station or flagging down help he decides to push his car over an embankment and set it on fire. He then proceeds to walk on foot to the nearest car lot (which happens to be in Mexico for some reason, mostly because he burned up his map in the car and he's been taking backroads.) He finds an old bicycle in a garbage dump and uses that.

He finally gets to the car lot and buys a fixer-upper for $50. Before leaving the car lot he has to change a tire, which he replaces with the solid rubber donut. He buys fuel and heads off to the Daytona 500 again. Only he's heading deeper into Mexico and eventually ends up broken down in front of, "Autodromo Internacional de la Jolla" due to no water in the radiator. The engine block has seized up. Luckily, there's a race about to start. Christopher...er "Alexander Superspeeder", who changed his name, pays the $125 entry fee for the race.

Unfortunately, Alexander Superspeeder doesn't have a race car. He does however have an old bicycle still. He uses the bicycle to race. He makes it only 3 laps before he is too tired to steer straight and veers off into a race car and is killed.

Some Jew picks up his story and writes a book about his life and how he followed his dreams. Another Jew makes a movie about it. Armchair racers around the world adore him.

The End.
