Let's have an under appreciated gear thread guys. My most recent acquisition is pic related. The condor Garuda. 5" blade ~5.5" handle with micarta scales. I just got it in the mail and haven't had time to go use it much but I gotta say the ergos are a solid 10/10. Sheath sucks. But for a 5mm slab of full tang 1075 with micarta handles, a decent sheath is going to be worth the purchase. With a price point of around $50 I'm surprised this blade never got more attention.

Looks fine but if you haven't actually used it a lot, how do you know it is good?
Price-wise, you can get 3x Mora Companion MG for that price.

Make sure you test it by batoning a 12" log ok?
Hey /out/,
I am going on a 10 day hike through canyon country in a few weeks. I am a novice hiker and am in need of some new hiking boots. I have never invested in a descent pair before and am looking for something for this trip. Are there good, reliable hiking boots around $100?

Just start training your feet so you don't need to wear shoes at all
>>967751
>in a few weeks
how many miles are you going to be able to get in them to get used to them in between now and then? going out 10 days in brand new boots, especially as a beginner, is a terrible idea.
regardless, go to a store near you and try a bunch on. try them on in (and buy) proper socks, and size the boots a full size up from your normal size. hopefully the staff isn't completely useless.

I hate waiting on peppers to sprout. That's the one plant that takes forever for me. I may get a seed heat mat one day just for those.
Pretty flowers and methodically placed strings keep my demons at bay.

>Ill copy paste my original question so people actually see it since it was right at the end.
Hello first time posting here so sorry if this is a bunch of retarded questions or the wrong place.
Sorry if this is a wall but trying to be thorough.
I've been growing and separating an Aloe Vera plant for a year or 2 now, I started off with 1 medium sized one and I'm currently at 55 total plants.
I want to kick up their growth so I can get a few of the medium and smaller ones to the size where they too produce pups so I can get some exponential gain going and grow a fucking army. So far I've only really replaced all the soil of every plant with Miracle gro cactus mix. this really made them grow well.
Yesterday I bought a soil testing kit and tested some of the newish (few weeks old) soil of one of the plants to see what kind of nutrient balance the soil came with and pic related is the results of that and a PH test.
I was reading some aloe vera articles online and I came across a few that cited a university study showing that a 10-40-10 liquid fertilizer provided the best possible growth, and the Ph is best around 7 from what I gather, some places say 7.0-8.5
What can I do to ramp up production? My only goal is more pups, I couldn't care less about leaf size.
For some reason this particular one and it's offspring just fucking love to produce them, so I thought I would capitalize on it.
Any tips or advice would be appreciated, this is the only type of gardening I've ever really done.
Thank you for your help.
I haven't been on /out/ in over a year, tell me what I've missed.

Only difference is that lots more people have broken their knives from being retarded. Two years ago, it was mainly just a matter of lots of people being retarded and not (yet) knowing better.
Straya cunt here
Question One; Just about to start out hunting rabbits and after a good knife for skinning them. Options?
Preferably something on the not expensive side.
question two; For hunting wabbits, I'm thinking a .223, but maybe an air rifle. I've read anything under 800fps would be inhumane, and so would anything other than a headshot from air rifle.
Thoughts, opinions and experiences welcome.
Would ask /k/, but just consolidation.
40-50 bucks on amazon
Rabbits are easy to skin, you really don't even have to have a knife. You can just pull/tear the skin off.
I would recommend a .22 for shooting them. I think a 223 is overkill. I have no experience with air rifles
>>967248
A .22lr is the best for wabbits if you plan on having enough left of them to eat. You can buy a Mora knife cheap and they're fine for skinning. For such a thin skinned animal all you really need to do is cut the fur on the top of the back then pull it free or if you want to keep the fur cut off the head and peel the pelt off like a sock, it comes off rather easy either way, not much use of a blade is needed for them.
This is my gear list. It contains everything I bring (including the pants on my person) with me - if it's not not on the list it's not there hiding in my pocket.
If you have a suggestion on replacing an item on the list please post an ebay or amazon link.
I have crowdsourced this already from 20kg down to my target of 16 but maybe we can take it further.
There is no tent as I'm staying in hostels and bothies. I am hiking in Scotland. I leave every day and either come back to my hostel or move the next one. I do not sleep outside. If I come back I only take the daytrip portion.
Please don't worry about the upper part of the camera category. This is already the lightest possible combination of SLR+lenses unless you go mirrorless which I won't.
Thank you for your comments and suggestions!

>stain remover
>hand cream
Don't forget your douche and feminine wipes
>>966812
stain removed is 15grams and has saved me in the past once - I have only one set of clothes
hand cream is 20grams - I climb, I need to keep hands in good repair as they routinely take a beating and hand balm helps the skin heal
I'm sorry I'm not as badass as you expected

how about you go fuck yourself and do your own research instead of asking to be spoonfed
Does anyone have experience camping with one of these instead of a backpack? Ive noticed that I dont need a whole bunch to sustain myself outdoors so im trying to go the minimalist rout.
>>966311
Obviously I dont go camping with grenades but the idea of the load bearing harness is the main idea
>>966311
Should have the butt pack thing on it. Good for Nam themed airsoft.
>>966317
Definitely. Ideally, thats what my tent would be housed in. In case of rain

How did you end up being a bum? Is it by choice? Are you a drug addict?
Hey /out/, so I'm interested in getting into hiking out into the woods and camping, and I was planning to use MRE's as my primary food source, but I wanted to know what /out/ thinks of this. The reason I want to do this is because it's a lot lighter than humping a mess kit out innawoods, and I've never been a very good cook anyway. I don't plan on being out there for more than 1 or 2 nights, so I feel like it would be a good idea.
Thoughts?
Also, general /out/ food thread
What do you guys eat while /out/?
>not living offa the fatta the lan
>>965301
I'm not that experienced
You should learn to cook, it's a valuable life skill.
It's also more fun that just eating warm.stuff from a bag. There's lots of good books and websites on cooking /out/. Then you can start to learn to forage, fish, etc.
MREs and Mountain House bags are fine occasionally, or as a back up, but you should learn to feed yourself.
Don't just buy your way out of a problem.
Can we have a Dick appreciation thread?
Dick's has reasonable prices and for a large national chain I find their staff to be very knowledgeable.
You may pleasure yourself by sucking my cock. That would be dick appreciation in my book.

What does /out/ think?
Stove cooking for me because it's an instant controlled heat source with no smoke and very little area prep to begin cooking.
From a primal "call to your inner caveman" standpoint.. nothing beats cooking over a good camp fire.
I camp frequently in times/areas where fires are prohibited. Also, after a long, active day I normally want to just stuff my face and fall asleep, rather than taking the time to deal with a fire.
