Ozark Trail
Yeti
Rtic
Coleman?
What's the deal. I hear Ozark is decent for money and Yeti is overpriced. All perform generally the same, Anyone have direct experience owning any of these. What should I go with for car camping?
>not even mentioning Orion
Pleb.

Whatever you have? If you don't have one get a Styrofoam cooler until you figure things out.
Going on a trek for a week.
Rate my gear, suggestions are welcome.
tu feras attention les bougnoules adorent les Frosties
no way that's enough food.

OP is not going into the wilderness, he can buy food along the way
What do you eat when going /out/?
What do you think about MRE?
i like MRE´s but mostly cause im friends with a surplus store owner so i get discounts. and its fun not knowing exactly what your gonna get, and American candy is always an adventure
nice knowing you always got backup toilet paper too
>>1078248

What knife does /out/ prefer for camping/hiking/surviving
I personally think you can't go wrong with a good ole' USMC KA-BAR
>>1064035
Great choice. Don't let anyone on here disagree with you. They're all low IQ with minimal experience.
Great choice op.
The Silky Ono is my go to.
Very very sharp with good weight behind it, serves many, almost all knife/axe needs. Legit cross between a knife and hatchet. Silky makes great stuff.

Memes aside, I do like the look of white jackets. But holy shit this is expensive. Who's buying one?
You could definitely buy a similar jacket elsewhere for cheaper.
>>1087980
What about the DCF-WPB fabric with Dyneema® and eVent® materials technology?
Realize that several of those benjamins are going toward the name, USA made tag and techwear aesthetic. It won't perform 9 times better than a $50 jacket, if that's what you're thinking.

Do you guys keep fires going all night? Also how do you keep feeding small biomass into the furnace?
No need to keep the fire going all night, if you've got appropriate sleeping gear for whatever season you're /out/ in. Just seems like a waste of firewood to me.
>>1087198
Also how's that stove working out for you? It always seemed slightly memeish to me, but I don't have one, so what do I know.
>>1087197
No the fire danger is too great to leave it going all night. Would get massive tickets for doing that irresponsible shit.
>local forest is overgrown with underbrush
>public is critical of USFS for aggressive suppression tactics not letting lightning fires clear the understory
>USFS starts letting lightning fires burn as long as no structures are threatened
>public criticizes USFS for not immediately suppressing fires and causing towns to get hazy
What's the solution?
>>1086730
Cant even please all the people all the time
I say let's nature take its course. Current policy seems reasonable. Suppress human knucklehead fires and let lightening strike fires take their course.
Mechanically clear deadfall.
OR
Cut down forest, install shopping centers and housing complexes, automatic firebreak plus economic activity, everyone wins, right?
Duh, sell the land to a private citizen since the government is criminally inept
How is staying in a poncho shelter? I was thinking it would be neat to just carry a poncho and have my friend carry one too while backpacking then at night we can snap them together into a two man tent.
However one friend is trying to say I really should just get a hammock or carry a small 1 man tent instead, and that sleeping down in the grass really isn't worth it, because poncho shelters aren't sealed up so bugs and snakes can get in more easily.

Cramped and you'll be covered in bugs.
They also fare very poorly in any kind of wind.
>>1086685
>Cramped
I mean wouldn't any 1 or 2 person tent be cramped? The polish models are actually pretty roomy, they make a closed polygon and stake down at every corner too so they do decent in wind.
Hi /out/
im looking for good outdoor channels on yt
Give me the best channels out there about crafting, survival, wilderness, cultives, anything related.
No. Go away.
Wronglerstar
Now git.
>>1086188
You don't need to bump here.
I used to think that a large, heavy, useless object was the worst thing to take on a hike, but now I know it's diarrhea.
I pooped every mile for 7 miles.
I was behind the camera for pic related, so all in all 5/10 day.
Bad trail experiences thread I guess.

I buy fish amoxicillin online and bring it whenever I go /out/ now.
Loperamide is a good antidiarrheal.

Yes
Hi /out/
Any advice for camping at festivals?
I'll be camping for three nights. Already got the tent (two of us in a four person), sleeping bag and a mat.
Don't be an asshole and leave trash everywhere
>>1084751
Keep your valuables in your locked vehicle.
Bring alcohol even if you don't drink.
>>1084768
>Bring alcohol even if you don't drink.
Can you explain that thought?
I was planning on not drinking, as I get very bad hangovers and the thought of a three day hangover would ruin the festival for me.
The Great American Eclipse is one week away.
How will you be viewing it?
What gear do you think is best?
If traveling, what other /out/ stuff will you do near the path of totality?
Remember, the whole eclipse lasts an hour, but totality only lasts 0:02:30. Leave early to get there so you won't find yourself stuck in traffic when it happens.

I work at Grand Teton and it's all hands on deck that day. We'll be sacrificing tourists on a ritualistic alter so that the sun comes back to us.
You're welcome.
Literally no one cares about the eglibse
California fag here. I won't see nothing huh?
