YOU
MURDERER

THAT WAS A FUCKING GOD DAMNED LIVING ORGANISM

THAT POOR CREATURE SPENT ITS WHOLE LIFE COLD AND AFRAID BUT IT FOUGHT ON EVERY DAY TO STAY ALIVE.

YOU RUINED EVERYTHING THAT BEAUTIFUL LIFEFORM EVER TRIED TO ME.

YOU RAPED IT FROM THE GROUND AND NOW ITS NOTHING. ITS ERASED. FORGOTTEN.

YOU. SICK. FUCKING. BEAST.

HOW DARE YOU TRESPASS ON THE WILL OF OTHER THINGS. WE ARE ALL EQUAL.

YOU CAN ONLY REVERSE THE DAMAGE YOUVE DONE BY SUICIDE.

Don't worry, it was humane

>>999265
I wouldn't say so, however I'm no expert.

General nettle plug:
It's nearing nettle season in Uk. Go pick fucktons. You get a delicious savoury treat when you Blanche it. You also get to meet loads of caterpillar friends. Get stung?: dockleaf is your bro: rub it all over the sting site.

Poach someones cattles, sell them off and use the proceeds to hire ruffians to form a gang an terrorize nearby towns for protection money. Watchout for Arizona rangers carrying big irons

Alternatively, tame Sandworms

I'm moving out to Zion from the Appalachians this coming year.

I hope I like it...

>>997333
Zion is fucking amazing. I'm at least happy that it's a shorter drive there than it was. I would prefer that over further south. Those hills and canyons are amazing for hiking.

I've heard Tea Tree oil and DEET works well. I just got bit and Im on antibiotics for Lyme disease. I'm going to have to try the tea tree and DEET soon and let you know

I think DEET works okay but I wouldn't trust garlic or tea tree oil much.

One time I had ticks crawling up my pant leg and I sprayed a line of OFF (DEET). They wouldn't cross it.

ticks don't really bother you. i had one try and crawl in my ear. he did in the wax barrier and i got him later(months)

>>992622
Is that a green sunfish? We have pumpkinseed sunfish here, they are very similar but a bit more colourful and smaller (pic). No one eats them, you generally just throw them back or use them as bait.
Fishing season opens tomorrow here, I plan to target brook trout and smallies, I will post pics itt tomorrow evening.

>>992622
Looks like a bream to me!

Totally.
But not with you.

This thread upsets me. I'd camp with you, OP.

>>992126
I'd camp with both of you. Ill even bring s'mores.

If it's clear and flowing quickly and you can get water from the middle of the channel 9.99/10 times you're going to be goddamned fine

if it has fish in it, good chance its at least moderately clean

if it's brown it's probably just clay, so you'll just want to filthy that with a towel

what you mainly want to look for is stagnation, dark or oily spots of water, a total lack of life, awful smell, etc

would you eat out of a trash can? just use common sense

>>997141
filter that with a towel* not filthy lol


also those lifestraws are totally awful and worthless you'll strain your neck muscles looking like a faggot trying to get 3 ounces of water

Filters have been around for decades and have been used by tens of thousands of hikers all over the backcountry. I've drunk fucking green insect water through a Sawyer and was fine. Please don't act like water in the backcountry is some unsolved issue. Filters work and are what people normally use. The lifestraw isn't a very good one though.

If you're going to be a ground dweller, why wouldn't you buy a 2 man tent with a small porch for under (or just over) 1Kg? More expensive, but better.

>>1000554
Could you link me? At least in the UK the closest thing I could find to that was a 1.8kg 2man but it was £100 while this is half the weight and only £45

Max I'm willing to spend really is £70 for a one man

I always have a 3 x 3m tarp with me, I use it as a sitting shelter, to keep my bag dry and to cook under using a fire hole

Yeah, sorry, not on that budget. I was talking about A LOT more expensive. For example the Terra Nova Solar Photon 2 is about 830g but retails @ £450. I got mine new for £220 so got a cracking deal. There are other superlight tents out there but they're all expensive.

If you have a tarp, I would just use that and ditch the bivvy to save even more weight. You could set it up in a tent configuration with two walking poles:

I always thought a bivvy would be claustrophobic as fuck.

Canadafag here. You can bring guns.

You can scare away a friggen black bear with a stick. Hell, I once told a black bear to fuck off and he did just that. They're more interested in tasty berries than humans anyway. The problem with bear spray is that it can mess you up just as bad as it can mess up the bear, especially if you're using the "Fog type". If you're spraying into the damn wind it's gonna act like seasoning for the bear. How about this, stay out of the bears business and it will stay out of yours. My biggest suggestion is to seal up all your food and keep your cooking quick and simple if you're in a high bear populated area. Bear spray/guns is your last option in all occasions, so be bear aware and avoid meeting one altogether and you will be far better off. Maybe put on one of those bear bells and walk through the forest cursing and singing acdc songs all day long.

I would recommend either a revolver chambered in .44 Remington Magnum or bigger, a 12 gauge shotgun loaded with slugs or 00 buck, or a rifle chambered in .30-06 or bigger.

you'd understand if you ever had your shoelaces tangled on a fixed speed bike's pedals

>>999322
i dont understand because i was not the retard that would forget to get his shoelaces tangled on the bike.

>>999324
So you don't understand basic mechanics and gearing until someone explains it to you as an adult. And as an adult you still don't understand why bikes aren't made with reverse gearing, but you have the audacity to call someone else retarded?

It's not a conspiracy, or paranormal. There's a shit load of evidence, and information available. Maybe you should watch the videos before jumping to conclusions.

That was a good watch, thanks op.
I bet most of them were just swallowed up by the earth. Ever seen the movie 127 hours? A mate of mine fell into a disused well almost 40 years ago and wasn't found for 3 days. Gotta be a nasty way to go. Initially knocked unconscious so unable to ask for help, then in your invisibility, left to dehydrate to death. Nice.

I love that show. You just have to understand not to do what he does, because it's really just him bragging about being a sas commando

Never been a big fan of Bear Grylls. He just comes off as the Gordon Ramsay of /out/; over the top and obnoxious. Good for a laugh, but gets stale pretty quickly. I've always been a bigger fan of this chubby Britbong when it comes to outdoors/survival shows.

Who doesn't enjoy a good old ficticious adventure every once in a while?

Tarp as a rain fly?

>>998316
Buy a tarp, just string it over and use your creativity to do it how you like it

Youll need rope.

Or you call the manufacturer and order a new rainfly.

That's a tent ya moron

>I am going to climb denali this year?
yes. is good
>I paid a $7500 deposit to reserve my spot.
you got good one? close to top? is good.

You have to pay to climb a mountain?

>>997638
Yeah, seriously, wtf?!
And a shit-ton, at that

>>997612
I have always wanted a boat and am considering buying one for the first time tomorrow. It's a 25' with cabin for about $6K. I would obviously have it surveyed before purchasing. It'll cost me an additional $2K for dockage and storage each year. Any other thoughts or advice?

You mean boatlet thread?

>>997617
How close to the ocean do you live? I honestly can't see the maintenance of an offshore boat being anywhere close to worth the costs unless you will be using it twice or more every month. A good charter outfit will put you on some great fish for about $600/day/person.
