Choose only one.

Of all places, this actually surprises me.

Cold-weather dirt bike or warm-weather snowmobile gloves work well for me.
Thin enough to maintain dexterity for most tasks, insulated enough to keep hands warm.
Usually have a pair of mechanix gloves with me, those are nice in the spring.

One pair of gloves isn't enough. Bring 3-4 pairs. Some days i'll soak two pairs in a day of riding.

Also recommend carrying a heavier set of insulated gloves, if it's cold enough to need gloves due to temps. Weatherman doesn't always get things right.

I Think U.S. Army repelling gloves are pretty badass. I have two pair. One fits fairly tight for tactility. The other pair are big enough to wear two wool liners underneath on each hand.

For cold water kayaking, I use a pair of Seirus Xtremes. They will fit under the big leather pair when high abrasion is an issue.

Work gloves from hardware store. Stop wasting your money.

>What do you people do in mountains?


Well, climb the fuckers, what else?
That is what they are there for, isn't it?

>>966921
we avoid self centered faggots who think that annoying the shit out of everyone within a 3 mile radius is acceptable because they think
>BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP
is the only thing to do while /out/

>Hike into mountains
>Set up camp
>bag a nearby peak
>take a chilly dip in an alpine lake
>relax in the sun
>Hang by the campfire with your buds or by yourself reading a book

Also climbing, and in some mountains you can ski well in to the summer.

Most of the bears in California are in San Francisco.

Best advice is to just get balls deep into it.

If you try to stay dry/comfortable/clean you will waste all your time and not make any money. Buy cheap LIGHT boots, I was an idiot and got big heavy indestructible boots, when guys with 30$ Wal-Mart boots were much more comfortable, and if they wore out they were still cheaper to buy another.

Get wet, go hard, and make up for it in booze day.

Things to bring for your first week, weed, gatorade, and comfort food snacks. The junkiest shit you can think of. You will want it.

Also, you WILL get bitten thousands of times a day by bugs. There is literally nothing you can do about it.

I wore a single oversized white dress shirt every day for 4 months, and washed it twice, it's the best thing you can wear for bugs and sun.

Definitely bring plenty of extra socks, you'll need em.

>>962680
I don't.

Nature is stimulating enough.

OK, fair enough. Well, if you've never tried to make old skool (like grandma's mom used to make) coffee with triple-boil when it's chilly and the Sun is rising, you're missing out. IMO.

Google it

Map and compass, learn how to use them, and tell people who don't want you to die where you are going

>>980031
Yeah I was planning on getting these later. I'm going to try camping near some family friends house so that if I run into a sticky situation I would be close to help. I'll probably do this until I get comfortable with camping.

OP again. I should probably add that the sleeping bag I have has plenty of insulation, but doesn't have any measures to keep out water or wind.

>>979451
is that a waterproof tarp ?
if so chances are its going to act like a vapor barrier. the sweat from sleeping will condense on the cold inside layer. and once wet it will start to lose heat faster. but might be fine so best to test it beforehand. to get an idea over 8 hour a normal person sweats around 200-400 ml. if its hot then ofc more. many commercial bivi bag are quite expensive for that reason as they are grotex or whatever.

>>979515
Thanks for the info. Yeah, it's a tarp.

I guess I'll give it a shot. If nothing else, I'll have something to keep my sleeping bag from getting wet if it rains and the tent's leaking.

I love my Danner Rivots and Tanicus's

>>979383
yes, Ive owned five pairs over the past twenty eight years.

>>979383
Ye from what I've heard. Saw somebody thanking someone for recommending them the other month. He said he's had them for five years and they don't hurt his feet at all on the job over long shifts.

At St Fred's, I joined the 121st Bedfordshire Boy Scout Troop.
Playing "chicken" with express trains was one of our favourite games - until the fateful day that Carraway didn't quite make it. His mangled body was identified by his woggle.

The Troop was full of surprises. There was Dregthorpe, for instance, who refused to wear the uniform, and could not be parted from his cuddly bunny, and Mc Goolie, whose legs were completely invisible.

I had a side view of it and I think it saw me or it could have saw me earlier and was checking me out. There was also snow on the ground and this thing was white.

I googled white monkeys and a picture of a gibbon came up. If you ignore the black monkey this is what it looked like, it had a black face. It also was almost in the exact same posture, as seen by me looking up at it, as this monkey is pictured. But I'm pretty sure it wasn't a Gibbon. It was real fast in the trees though.

Back in my grandma's day they had a circus train car derail and let loose about 20 monkeys. I can't remember if oragutang or those smaller ones, anyway, people claimed to see them for about 4-5 years after but after that nothing. We figured they'd starved or froze, this was in Louisiana btw, near Arkansas. I mean it happens, people have pet monnkeys that get loose, but they usually end up dying soon after or at least not mating. I couldn't see shit in that picture though OP.

I have 3 more pretty much the same with varying scratches.

>>978739
I actually like those because they remind me of the nalgenes used for experimental procedures in my old research lab.

Was it really 2 years ago the patch got started? Fuck me.

Gasifier stove will give you a hotter faster burning fire.
Also means it'll burn through wood a bit quicker
With any small wood stove you are going to have to babysit and continue feeding it

Pretty much do you want to collect a lot of small twigs then babysit it closely for a shorter amount of time or collect less twigs and babysit less closely for a longer cooking time?

I prefer just building a small campfire with thicker wood that doesn't need to be constantly attended to, but I also camp in places where that's not in reasonable

>>978361
Thats a good point about having to constantly restack. Ill probably just go with a regular one for now

What design are you referring to?

Weve been building a large tipi on the edge of our forest and the best building material to build up the walls after the wooden frame was a mixture of mud and straw mixed with a bit of water. holds it together really nicely and keeps it warm in the winter and cool in the summer. have the same ambition as you to live out away from society. been camping out there for a good 3 weeks now and its awesome. also when buying land the most important thing you'll need is running water like a river or waterfall etc
