Your regular backpack with a hunting sled.

An external frame that you can attach differently sized rucksacks to.

Duh?

You're going to literally just need a bare frame so you can hold any weight, and also change cubic capacity depending on needs.

I went on holiday and did a two day walk that was amazing, would definitely have loved to do more walking there. Pretty easy to get to on public transport, and has accommodation.

Oh wow, that's neat, I've actually read about that mountain, I will read through your post later today, it's good that I'm only hearing good things about Iceland, really excited to go there, the full length of that trail was 50km as I understand?

I'm new to this stuff, but I went exploring under a few bridges near me, and there were a few sketchy ass concrete tunnels I walked through too. Pic related is taken from the underpass nearby where you're meant to walk.

I'm still new to this, so it was a nice entry level spot.

Planning to go to some other , less boring, areas with some friends of mine in the next few weeks.

Apparently there's an abandoned facility near me that's pretty well traveled that looks terrifying at night. We're planning to break in an take pics.

I have a few stories from other short expeditions, but they're all lame as shit and either involve foxes being creepy or old white people trying to call the cops on me.

I'm in Syds and kinda interested in ErBexxing with any local anons. Nothing too crazy I can't get into any trouble with the law.

There's an old hospital and a catholic school I managed to look around a few years back, unfortunately they're both looked after by caretakers now.

Sweet

Pellet gun. Because fun.

>>958954
An actual gun because I'm not a fag.

>>958954

Personally I'd find an actual firearm to be the most satisfying out of those three. Although that in and of itself is still pretty vague.

Airsoft is a toy
Crossbows are boring, though very capable
Firearm is most capable, interesting mechanically, and you can always find a way of pushing your own limits and challenging yourself in terms of your marksmanship.

The best hiking in North Carolina is in the Appalachians north and west of Asheville, so you may have to drive a ways to do what you want to do.

I'm not as familiar with the rest of the state, but there may be something closer to you in Uwharrie National Forest or Bladen Lakes State Forest. The coast is supposed to be pretty nice too (if you're into coastal /out/ stuff), especially the Cape Hatteras/Pamlico Sound area.

>>958973
I'll definitely check out the coastal stuff. I'm pretty southwest

Feels fucking great.

sleeping bags only have one size? weird.

I would be interested but shipping and duties to canada will fuck over any kind of savings.

>>958182
Yeah King of the Manlets size

Where can you get a long sleeping bag lads

>>958182
Canada is the worst place in the world if you want to buy anything period.

>>957776
no. but having gone somewhere similar in geophysics field school I can recommend a light collared long sleeved shirt, 1.5x-2x the amount of water you think you'll need., and a wide brimmed hat. if there are snakes you should pay attention to where you're walking as they often sun themselves on paths. I'd guess flash floods might be a danger this time of year so watch out for slot canyons if there are any. bring your shoes in the tent with you so scorpions and tarantulas don't get in there (again just guessing from pictures). Me I'd go with light pants vs shorts. Hopefully the bump gets someone with actual experience to answer.

>>957776
yes, it's gorgeous. was there fore the climbing.
if you're camping out/overnighting you've gotta plan for freezing temps at night. it can dump rain (especially this season).
depending on where you go, trails can be easy if a bit steep. off-trail (like for accessing climbs and weirder features) can be anything from strenuous to precipitous.
be very careful of local plantlife- they're slow growers- but also wear long pants/sleeves. there are several kinds of prickers, the worst of which is a bush with tentacle/whiplike branches completely covered in backward-facing thorns; deeply unpleasant on exposed skin.

bring extra water, wear sunscreen, bugs aren't really a problem, keep your eyes on your feet for both lots of loose rock and possible snakes (I never saw any of the latter).
always wash your hands before eating if you grab cracks or ledges while scrambling around; there's packrat nests and piss everywhere and in addition to garden variety gross, can carry hantavirus.

the all you can eat breakfast buffet at the red rock hotel/casino is cheap and awesome if you're a few days in and low on calories. it's well outside the strip and close to the park so you don't even have to mess with vegas issues.

its just going to be a 1 mile hike or so. I have a 25oz steel water bottle I think I will take.

My prof recommended a peanut butter and jelly sandwich since those keep well while you hike. We are planning on stopping in a mountain town for BBQ on the way back to Bakersfield

Bump for interest.

I know what site your looking at, first time in the adks? Ive spent some time there, absolutely fantastic. When are you going?

>>957547
I grew up in upstate NY, so I've been to the Adirondacks a few times. I went through the Pharaoh Lake Wilderness once with scouts and loved it. Hopefully sometime in the next couple weeks.

>>957394
Somebody help this anon.

>>957394
I bought one of these used a few years back on CL. I've had 3 adults with gear n' beer (~650 lbs) for a 4 day trip and the thing was a tank. Didn't sit low in the water at all.

Stop being such a softcock, 15 miles isn't that far.

>>956751

Why would I want to trade foot pain for knee pain?

>>956598
Practice

>>956616
Lets assume I know literally nothing, including the minimum needed to practice.

Get a book, read the book, go to your local hiking trail, practice.

>>956342
Get a regular cheap hammock from Walmart and wear a coat or sweater, 40°F isn't very cold.

>>956349
This

If you're going for sexy time, I suggest a tent. If you want a hammock, go to walmart or academy.

Horseshit is good for those. Make compost dirt with your leftover organic foods etc. before spring starts, add some worms to speed up the process. If you want to, find out where your specific seed is from and then simulate the things that the dirt in it have around that place.

Move out west where they aren't a problem

>>956029
I cover my ankles and back of legs

>>956029
BO, beer, smoke, citrus fruits in your diet. That's what works for me.
