their's no comfortable way to fit more than one person in a hammock, whether it says "two person hammock" or not

>>1088909
So arguably the only downside to them. A moot point considering people could easily bring their own.

>>1088910
That isn't "arguably" a downside, it is a downside.

They also suck if there is much wind, you can't run a stove in one, can't reflect a fire into them while you sleep, and you have to be somewhere there is something to hang them from.

Hammocks are fine for some trips but their limitations mean they could never replace a tent for me.

Cold water swimming/ice swimming.

Helps adapt you to the cold long term. Good for your health also.

Raccoon roundworm controlling their brain before they die horribly.

>>1088520
They have a distorted relationship with animals due to Disney films and other anthropomorphizing nature documentaries. Since they face no physical or financial threat from these animals its basically a self fulfilling prophecy.

Dunno about morbidness but dusk is very nice indeed.

Have you noticed how perception of movement when walking seems to be faster during dusk?

>>1088338

Yawn

Oh did somebody say something?

Rice/oats/grits for carbs
Couple bottles of olive oil and lard for fats.
Rest should be dried meats for protein.

Congrats, you have enough food to survive for 8 months.

No, you won't be healthy. Yes, you will avoid danger/emergency-tier malnutrition or vitamin deficiency.

I sleep on the $20 blue CCF foam pad from Naturehike. It's basically a Thermarest Z-lite, but the foam degrades faster.

I wouldn't trust them for any critical gear like a tent though. I only use the CCF pad because they can't really fuck that up.

I've thought about buying gear from China but I am scared that they would break on me quickly. You can save a lot of money though.

>>1087812
Have a few things from Aliexpress.
I currently use a 3F UL Silnylon 1 person tent.
Its a Big Sky Wisp but half the price.

All the stitching is good. Everything is seam sealed.
Came with ground sheet and aluminium X shape pegs.

Its issues are inherent to the design and not the manufacture.

Just be nice to people anon. Learn as much as you can in your downtime. Have a good attitude and people will be good to you.

You don't work on comission, do you?

Just talk with customers a lot. Ask what has been working for them so you can reccommend shit to the next customer. And don't be afraid to admit when you don't know something, go find another associate. You will figure it out pretty quick.

I worked retail at a pet store for years in my late teens and early 20s and it didn't take long to become the guy customers ask for because I got good at bullshitting people.

Do not hunt with bows. Poking poor animals with arrows is inhumane. Poor fucking animals. Use a gun.

>>1087617
>>killing animals is inhumane
>>kill animals instead

You what mate?

>>1087602
I got the same deal at 350 USD and only 6 arrows. So you can at least feel good about that. Great bow tho. As a first time shooter I was hitting a tennis ball sized group at 20 yd so I'd say I'm pretty impressed with its ease of use and adjustments. Did everything myself except for tying on the peep which cost all but 7.50 at asspro.

It really depends on the lining. In an effort to find out what the coating is, I learned that these are actually 100% cotton blend.

>>1087458
mine isn't that, I just picked a random image. It has some type of golden lining.

>>1087458
... Should be fine then, I guess. Cotton's not harmful.

Congrats, you managed to scrape together $60, mom gave you a ride and loaned you $5 cuz you forgot about tax. Now you have a $60 backpack and are wondering if you should take it back
