go with the tent and enjoy the scenery and sense of accomplishment. Plus the savings

Girls love it when you invite them back to your tent in the middle of nowhere.

I'm about 6'3" and 180 lbs. Most of my weight is in my legs. My crew is doing the most rigorous course. I have basically all the eagle required ones except a partial in personal fitness and personal management.

I've used those, they work surprisingly well. Would recommend getting an adapter and a regular sawyer filter instead though so you can make a cheap but great gravity system.

>>954294
What is this? I can't find anything about a Sawyer mini that filters viruses.

>>954498
this is the new stuff that sawyer said it would release in this year's spring. It's a complement for your filter.

Any time you handle it, wear safety glasses. Learn to keep it away from everything that is metal.

Use a bag over it to prevent metal dust and shavings from clinging to it. If they do and you touch them, they tend to stab through your skin. Don't ever get yourself between the magnet and anything metal. Ever.

>>939186
You actually found a gayer hobby than metal detecting.
Impressive.

>>939186
I found some keys and some bolts. Only went once though. It was fun.

try to grow something that is expensive in the store that you can grow cheap enough, and try to sell to individuals you know and maybe even some restaurants or nursing homes.

dude the west is so different than the east. im pretty shitty on the east coast but the snow is so much better tin the west that i could be just 100 times more confident.

the blacks are more "serious" but because the snow is so much better its easier in the end.


brek is pretty resorty so its hard to die if you stay on the main parts of the resort. im sure there are some back bowls that are absurdly hard but i never went there.

>A fucking white male
Fuck I do hate these times. Nobody is forbidding anyone from going /out/ and they're free to do so, if they don't do it it's because they do not want.

Now, having (((them))) always complaining and forcing people upon us is tiresome.

>>940243
outdoor industry anon, not the outdoors itself.

>>940253
Sure but why does it matter? I feel like there's always something baiting western society with otherwise racial non issues.

This is the reason more and more people otherwise moderate are pushed further into one side.

>current year
>not wearing what works

doesn't matter if it's technical or traditional as long as it works for you. even cotton has it's place.

>>954501
You can use a cotton shirt as gauze to stuff your bleeding vagina, OP.

>>954511
"Technical" for this crowd is what "tactical" is for 13 years olds. Means nothing.

>>954516
Did you learn that from your mom? That would explain the smell of her fanny.

Well Bladeforums is always good. I honestly have a lot of fun on /k but I've only been there a few weeks. Honestly I learned most of what I know about knives through YouTube and my own expirence over the years... I've got quite the collection nowadays.

If you have any questions, fixed, folding, machetes, swords, sharpening, ect... I love to chat knives.

Pic related is my folders. Also have a bunch of fixed blades.

>People who ONLY fly fish are 100% old men who have trust funds backing them and pay guides to tie every tippet, line, hook on, etc etc and act superior because of it.
>Guys who only fly fish are basically the tweed wearing golfers of the ocean, lake, and river. They act like it's a sport but any sport you can weigh 300 pounds and be shuffled around in a cart or boat by a minority you pay for and drink booze while doing is not a sport. Fishing is a sport in the same way video games are a sport. They both just require knowledge and experience, not massive physical skill. No one is running sprints or getting tackled fishing. Maybe reeling in monster sharks is a workout but still. You will never do it enough to get in shape.
>The real issue is that guys who only fly fish talk about how much of challenge it is but it's really only a challenge because they can't cast well. If you can cast well its as easy as normal artificial fishing especially with the super well done fly and bait fish imitations they make these days. These people fly fishing 10 times a year and say it's hard because they never do it enough to actually become competent. Guys even tie on live bait and fly cast it and say they caught their permit on a fly rod. It's a joke.

How do I not suck when fishing with pic related? I never catch anything on them and I always get snagged on literally everything. Whats the technique? Why am I so retarded? Plz help.

>>954068
Put them under a bobber and pop the bobber towards you in a jigging motion. That's how I catch all my crappie.

Or cast them adjacent to cover and jig them away from the stuff you get hung up on. Fish will come grab them if they want them.

>Driven across the US several times

On the highway there are rest areas, although not as many as there used to be. You can sleep in your car in rest areas and even stealth camp in some rest areas too.
You can also camp in national forests and BLM land
Get a good map. You don't usually have to camp in campgrounds in a national forest or BLM land and these lands are often full of logging roads
Just pull of the road onto a logging road and look for a good place to camp
Always carry a couple of gallons of water in your vehicle
>Will people fuck with us?
That depends on you, and where you are, but generally the answer is no

>>952654
Take your time, don't spend a day in anza borrego national park when you could spend a while lifetime there.

I drove from Florida to Alaska. If you're in a bind there is an app that tells you which Walmart allows overnight parking. Then just park near the RV people. Before you think "fuck that!!" It's kinda nice waking up and using the restroom and getting breakfast.

Bic lighters might be easy to use, but with a good ferro rod you can sharpen you're knife and start fires at the same time!

Well, if you'd like to bring some friends along in case you need to engage in some good old fashioned cannibalism to survive, be my guest.

>>953845
And that's game.

Try again later op.

I still call bullshit no way he was in the ocean for that long. But it's still easier to fish then hunt with your bare hands in winter.

Self-defense is always a valid reason. Coyotes are usually categorized as varmints, anyway.

That law only applies if there wasn't just cause, otherwise every cop in town would be in jail.
