Basically, I have been reading and taking notes on how to read the Earth from pic related and eventually I want to be able to survive for weeks or months on my own foraging edible plnts and mushrooms and just basically going off the grid. tristan Gooley (Author) Is the best expert Ive found so far on navigation. Please recommend other authors or creators (Youtube or other) that you think fit into this category. Also your experiences of Natural Navigation

The most important thing to remember is that foraging is both regionally and seasonally dependent. Nothing compares with just going out with a field guide and learning what's in your area throughout the year.
But here's a good starting point of easy to remember rules: http://notreallyasurvivalblog.blogspot.com/2017/08/basics-of-foraging.html

Thanks for the link, that reminds me of another forager blog that I found here:

just picked up this backpack as a day bag/bob for $50 at gander mountain bc they are going out of business. its a blackhawk 3 day assault pack. Anyone here have any experience with them? good deal or just meh
:(
>>1088132
>$50 day packs
ley may oh. how does someone fit three days in that bag without skipping out on the sleepingbag
>>1088147
i dunno man. when I was in the military we fell asleep anywhere. with or without a bag.
I went hiking in nasty heat and didnt bring enough water. Also it was further than I ussually hike.
Its two days later and all my muscles ache, especially my neck, shoulders, and pelvic muscles.I have also have a mild headache.
Its been almost 48 hours and I start college tomorrow. Is this from heat exhaustion?
Btw never once felt nauseas or had any stomach pain.
>>1088084
Sounds more like just plain old moderate dehydration.
Drink water and try to get a good night's sleep.
>>1088090
This and do some easy workouts. If you don't workout you will get sore after a previous day's hard work.
>>1088084
Hydrate, and don't forget some SALT and SUGAR. Salt for water regulation, sugar for quick energy. You basically have a hangover and now you fucking know to stay hydrated all the time.
Stretching and a couple of aspirin will help, as will a hot shower.
I'm looking for a knife like this one but I can't find any like it at all, help anon's
>>1088070
Just search for "Trench Knife"
Done.
Have fun killing the zombies.
>>1088070
Have you searched your local flea market?

Or Paki owned truck stop.
I live in an area where there is no hunting and the deer have no predators. While hiking I would constantly get within 10 feet of deer who I didn't notice. So I was walking and startled a mother with kids and Instead of running away it started stomping its foot and looked like it wsnted to charge.
The deer are new and invasive to the woods and I have no idea what to do. I three large stone towards the deer and it still didnt run.
I'm kinda of worried to hike in dutinf the rut now.
Pocket Slingshot?

Where about are you? I want to strangle me some doe's.
Man up and rape the deer until they die of internal injuries from your massive schlong

Can someone explain why fly fishing is more effective in catching trout in river? Im genuinely curious because i went to the river today with my spinner rod and caught zip, even though i had good bites.
>>1087090
because wild trout are autistic, and they genuinely only want to eat something that looks like what they have been eating up until that point. fly fishing lets you fish tiny "baits" that look like inverts which reside in your stream of choice.
>>1087090
>even though i had good bites.
>caught zip
wut? they hit your lure but no hookups?
need some charts of the upper potomac river..specifically the are around Brunswick MD...also general naval/waterways chart thread. https://www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/mcd/NOAAChartViewer.html this site is great.
Hello /out/
I was out fishing today and caught this weird ass thing , did I just find a new fish/thing?
>>1085842
Mutilated and desiccated stingray.
>>1085848
But it was alive
you caught a chupacabra
Sup /out/, /g/ autist here. I recently found out apricot and nectarine seeds weren't the shit that I couldn't eat but the things inside so I finally decided to extract the actual seeds. Can I make both species grow in the same pot?
Disappearing innawoods to shoot and camp for 4 days, don't know what to eat.
Taking my truck so I've got two Yetis with a Coleman propane stove with oven, skottle, cast iron skillets, and a Dutch oven.
What recipes are your go to?
(bonus for ingredients and directions, I'll copy to Word and make a /k/ cookbook)
>>1084355
beans and coffee
Take beans, rice, pastas, corn.
Also eggs, bacon, sauce or vege in a can.
Make any mix of thoses.
>>1084355
Dutch oven roasts turn out pretty well if you're feeding a few.
>3-4 pound rump roast, bonus points for venison
>2 Tbsp butter
>1lb baby carrots
>1/2lb celery, trimmed, stalks cut into quarters
>2 onions peeled and quartered
>4 cloves garlic peeled and smashed
>Fistful of thyme sprigs, tied tightly with butcher's twine
>4-ish bay leaves
>Salt and pepper
>12 oz. beer, preferably Newcastle or some other medium ale
Set the oven open over the coals and get it fairly hot. Add the carrots and stir it around for about 2 minutes. Add the onions, celery, garlic, and some salt and pepper and let the onions get a little color.
Meanwhile, season the roast generously with salt and pepper. Move the veggies to the edge of the dutch oven, throw the roast in the middle (fatty side up if using beef), add the beer, submerge the thyme and bay leaves. Seal her up and bury in the coals for about 6 hours or till it's fork tender.
You can serve it up as is or fish out the goods and add gravy mix to the liquid that's left. Normally I'm against gravy mix but it's acceptable when you're outdoors.
You can prep all the veggies and herbs ahead of time and put them in a single gallon ziplock bag in the cooler.
Feel free to post tobaccos (no weed allowed), pipes, collections, pics of favorite combos for going /out/, pics of what you're doing with your pipe and any questions you might have.
Want to get into smoking pipes without spending too much cash?
Get a Missouri Meerschaum Legend corncob pipe and a pouch of either Prince Albert, Carter Hall or Half and Half tobacco, available at most drugstores.
What you'll need: pipe, tobacco, lighter or matches, pipe cleaners, and either a regular old nail or a pipe tool (combination tamper, scoop, and small pick).
All of these together should run you less than $20.
Having trouble keeping your pipe lit? Fill it with less tobacco and smoke it slower than you think you need to, lightly tamping as needed when the smoke starts thinning out.
If you're still having trouble, try filling your pipe this way:

Fuckin right, new thread!
I just mowed what passes for a lawn in rural Idaho when you dont really care about having one. Although wifey has been watering it and Im starting to think a little patch of soft grass with a bunch of planter beds might be nice.
Time for some navy roll. This is growing on me. Sweet and grassy at first, then rich and savory to finish, plus one roll isnt 'too much' tobacco at once. Would it be feasible to make these out of homegrown tobacco? What would you even do?
And has anyone tried cake tobacco? I want to grab a few and store some to age.
>>1079022
I would replace the half n half with a different pouch honestly. Have I ever tried it? No. But it just sounds kinda weak when you could at least have borkum riff or something. Iunno....
>>1079054
So hobos still hike freight trains?
>>1076554
There's some guys who do it on youtube, so I don't see why more people wouldn't at least be trying.
I know a guy that did this as a teen until his train was left in the middle of the desert for 3 days. He didn't have any water.
Eh... I wound up in NOPP for a week for trespassing. I wasn't being very smart about it though. I don't actually recommend it. Train tickets are cheap and just a scenic.
You lot would know the best bags to get which is why I'm asking here. Basically I need something with a lot of room for laptop, electronics, clothing, water bottle, books, pens, pencils etc. and want it to be a rectangle durable backpack that is waterproof, anti theft and ergonomic for my body.
Budget

for bags under 35L the answer is always burton.
i dont know how or why but burton backpacks last forever and have every feature you want. the lifetime warranty is also clutch
I know this has been discussed before but I can't find a appropriate thread for this topic so here we go
what's your opinion on water purification ?
I don't want to buy a pump right now so I'm interessted in additives.
should I just buy some chlorine or that silver ion stuff ?
I feel like the outdoor specific products are weirdly expansive where I live.
I'll be bikepacking for a week and would like to get water from local lakes and rivers in germany.
>>1090097
I suppose you could always buy/make an, "Alembic." Making one is as simple as adding a tube of your coffee pot and sticking it into you cup/water container.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alembic
>>1090119
that's actually a pretty cool idea !
but I forgot to mention that I won't have a stove with me.
>>1090097
Using chemicles to treat water in inland lakes is iffy at best. Especially if there a beavers or ducks present in which case there Are probably parasites In the water which won't be killed by chemical treatments.
I know you said you don't want to buy a filter but those are really your best option. I've used pretty much every style on the market and I can't recommend the hanging bag systems enough. They are the simplest to use, require the least amount of energy, relatively cheap, filter virtually everything, and they do not have any moving parts like hand pumps that might fail in the field. All the major filter brands have a hanging bag system and you can get a small one-two person one for $40-$60. Water purification is probably something you shouldn't skimp on.
It's a fine Saturday. Why aren't you innawoods right now?
Because I live innacity now :[
Good point though, OP
