no. don't buy that.

An Old Hickory kitchen knife form Wal-Mart for the same price would be much better.

They have been taking neighbors dogs, cats and are considered a pest in my state.

This is why Europe is losing to scabby troglodytes.

Thanks for your invaluable contribution, i think i seen the light, anon. Seriously thank you so fucking much

There's a park up in Delray I think, just north of where Atlantic meets 441 and there are some paths and trails though there. Never really went down the paths since I just went there to fish in the canals but I think they wind around through the trees. Called Loxtahatchee Park I think.

There's also another Loxtahatchee Park or Preserve closer to Parkland/Deerfield. Take Hillsboro west until it ends at Loxtahatchee Rd and go west on Loxtahatchee until it ends. I think University goes thru to that road too. And then there is some shit at Everglades Holiday Park where Griffin Rd hits US-27 but idk about paths. Also the Sawgrass Expy and Commercial or Atlantic, there is a little parking lot and you get to some paths back there.

The two Loxtahatchees are def worth checking out. The one closer to Parkland and Deerfield is pretty easy to get to from the Sawgrass and I have walked down the one path maybe like a mile to get to this bridge and it keeps going. They rent kayaks at the one in Delray.

>>952281
Shit man thank you very much.

I feel so stupid, the Everglades has been in my backyard all these years and I've never taken the time to appreciate it. I just saw the trail by Sawgrass I may check those out.

There's also a ton of parks on Alligator Alley and Tamiami Trail that look juicy. Im going to try to hit up as much as I can before the wet season.

I appreciate your help. Are you from South Florida?

Not from here but I live here.

And yeah there are a couple areas to pull off along I-75 but never been out to them much.

Pic related is the Loxtahatchee Rd one in Parkland. You can go on Google Maps and see some pics of the area. Those few gravel paths are gated so you can't drive down them but you can walk forever down them.

That Loxtahatchee in Delray has some potential too. Went over there once to try and fish and I remember seeing a bunch of paths that branch off the main road going back into the trees n shit.

>who here uses trekking poles?
all the faggots who now can barely take 2 steps on a flat gravel city park trail without twisting an ankle

to use a crutch is to become reliant on a crutch. never start, or you'll never be able to go anywhere without them.

Do you know how much a car battery weighs?

There are a million decent bluetooth speakers these days and you could bring along a bunch of USB power packs if you wanted to I guess. But if you want to go full concert mode, just bring a small generator and some real speakers.

>>959714
This is a good one. If you want to save a few more bucks...I can recommend the Anker soundcore sport xl, waterproof, shockproof, dustproof, 15 hour battery life and you can charge other devices off of it.

>>956643
Your fucking keyring don't lost /out/, dumbass.

How will you be able to drive back to your two room shithole apt and thendrive to the trendy downtown microbrew?

>>956643
You don't but it looks cool and makes normies think you're an hardcore /out/ist.

>>956643
you mostly won't need a climbing rated Carabiner.

But other clips just give you the ability to clip stuff together, how is this a question?

Lol. Last game warden i met told me they do a basic training thing. And he gave me his card. Told me to sober up and apply.

Its 10am and im drunk. Sry texas. I want to serve you but i'm indisposed at the moment

I'm a (((Biological Science Technician))) and I get paid to hike, handle animals, spray invasive weeds, and whatever random bullshit they need done day to day.

Canuck here. I worked as a park ranger one summer between highschool. My job was to drive a truck around and walk trails and maintain them. If plots were messy I would clean them up. Pretty chill job took a lot of afternoon naps by the lake.

Also, it's a wetland plant that relies on ground water. Indicator of either ground water seepage or vernal pools. Check out the Wikipedia page for it. Interesting plant.

>>959922
To add to your mention of it being a wetland plant. The proper terminology is wetland obligate hydrophyte.

For camping just shelter and food really. Since you're from /k/ just add (you don't really have to) your handgun/rifle/whatever floats your boat and you're done.

For prepping it's pretty much the same shit, food and shelter. Natural disasters are the only thing that can really happen so don't over complicate it, full societal collapse it's never going to happen.

>>959628
ok, bring what you think you need. For a beginner I would start with:
> water
> food
> Rain jacket/pants or poncho
> sleeping bag
> sleeping mat
> shoes
> spare set of cloths
> swim wear

I skiped some items you already listed.

Use a ten inch bastard cut mill file to set the initial edge. Use an axe puck to take off the burr and keep it sharp.

>>959271
https://www.machetespecialists.com/buying-guide/sharpening-your-machete/

>>959276
This. Once you get the initial edge, take the puck and work in small circles up and down the blade.

Don't do that long stroke down the edge like the bad ass guy in that one movie did, even thought it makes a cool "shhhhhhhiiiiiiiiinnk" sound.

Some 3-in-1 oil will help the sharpening and keep the edge from rusting, too.

Cathedral Valley, Canyonlands, White Rim, Burr Trail, fuck there's so much /out/ in Utah to list. Zion/Arches/Bryce are disgustingly busy with foreign tourists though. Try to find Everett Ruess' dead body.

>>958600
Yeah I want to avoid tourists at all costs. Thanks for the info.

You're building a tabernacle, aren't you?

I'm assuming boots will get more pricy once spring rolls around. Should I bite the bullet or hold off for something else? There are no reviews on REI and the reviews are pretty mixed on Amazon (although I've never really trusted Amazon reviews)

>>958282
I'm not familiar with those but my entry level boot is the Merrell Moab. Yours appear to be within the same price range as the waterproof Moab.

I wore out a pair of Merrells in about two years of fairly consistent hiking (all weekend every weekend with some longer stints here and there). So, if you consider that moderate then they definitely held up.

How many miles are you looking at doing at a time? How often? What sort of terrain are you looking at hiking? Most often it's a good idea to get a cheap boot because you either won't use it very much or the terrain isn't challenging at all

>>958338
Thanks, I'll definitely check those out. I have some basic woods trails near me. I try to get out at least once a week and do a few miles. I also may be going out west in a few months with some friends.

We're definitely going to Red Rock Canyon outside of Vegas and we may swing down to Arizona (Flagstaff, Sedona, etc.)
