I'm a fisherman and there are very few things I find more satisfying to me than the act of catching, killing, cleaning and eating some great food, especially when I can share it with my family.
This is some Yellowfin Bream that I caught and beer battered.
Trevally with lemon butter.
>>944733
I didn't catch it but I killed and ate a chicken. Was pretty delicious. Other than that, I caught many fishes. It's true, food always tastes the best if you catch it yourself, it's even better when you eat it in nature.
>>944733
for those of you that live off grid, what toilet setup do you have? outhouse, composting toilet, incinerating toilet, or septic? getting a septic tank installed sounds really pricey especially if you live in a remote area.

When money is no object
Not to be outdone...
How retarded would I be to buy this tent? I just think spending more than $100 on a tent would be a waste. Anything from Walmart worth getting?
This is one https://www.walmart.com/reviews/product/41737128?reviews_limit=10&reviewId=topid
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Ozark-Trail-10-x-9-Burgundy-Instant-Cabin-Sleeps-6/41474525>>947155
This is the other option. I like it because it is a bit bigger
as long as you don't have to carry it more than 100' it's fine. i have a ridiculous huge 2 room tent that probably weighs 30 lbs that i use for glamping.
My first tent a eureka i still have its 1w years old been around the country uaed everywhere and xosts around 600 dollars.
I still use it but more ofton than not i use a seek outside tipi for lighter weight camping.
Shit tents wear out break and are very heavy. As a starter tent sure but id save up or look at a decent second hand one mate
Hello /out/ just like many of you I too am a casual /out/isn't, hiking and camping on weekends and having a two week long trip once a year or so, my question is, how do you transition yourself into a more serious /out/ life? After hiking and camping what are some good activities to do?

Jesus Christ /out/, throw me a bone here.

Building a shieling and spending the summer out on the moor looking after the sheep.
Is or has anyone here worked as a fisheries observer? I received a degree in Fisheries Science and it seems like an ok /out/ job. What was it like, how was the pay, are there long term prospects or employment elsewhere or is it just a job to pad the resume. It seems that people do it for a while before it gets tiring. I would be working in the North Pacific.
>>946118
I worked on a weir on the Copper river in Alaska monitoring salmon. It was an unpaid internship for my F&W degree. It was awesome, apart from water sample collections I basically just fished all day
Good luck getting on of those jobs as they are all reserved for injuns if they are paid positions. You might be able to just volunteer your time
>>946118
If you don't report favorably towards the fishing industry, the fishermen will kill you
Lately I've been thinking about living in the wilderness, or at least trying it out for a month or two and seeing what it's like. I just have some major concerns about this proposal, the biggest being the threat posed by wild animals (bears mostly). I don't have the patience to get a gun permit (not murrican), and even if I had a rifle vs a bear, I don't think I'd stand much of a chance. Unless it was a .50 cal or something. So how can this threat be handled best? I imagine it can't be eliminated completely.
I live in the north (~60° N), and in particular I've been wondering about how to survive the winter. It must be possible somehow, since our ancestors seemed to manage, but I'm having some trouble figuring out the math. I tried searching for guides/something but couldn't find much. Even things that specifically mentioned winter survival didn't give much info on making a fire or getting a reliable source of food.
How would one manage to gather enough food? Ice fishing? Making bread out of crushed bark/roots or something? Hunting/trapping the few animals that are around? And what about fire with all the wetness and shit?
I guess I'm asking for any general tips on living/surviving in the wilderness, especially in the winter. Also it would be nice to hear how you guys deal with the threat of wild (predatory) animals.
>>946114
You must fear ticks and food poisoning, not bears.
>>946114
Lurk more, then ask your questions
We have this thread every week
>>946114
If you;
1. Have to ask these questions and;
2. Come to a Sudanese paddleboarding BBS to do so, then;
You will die.
>Wyoming Considers De Facto Prohibition On Solar And Wind Energy
What the fuck is wrong with some fucking people?
>>937976
Maybe they're tired of all the dead birds from wind turbines
>>937976
This is what happens when people don't vote, the corporations such as power companies get to make all the rules.
I'd take a single wellhead over a field of windmills any day of the week.
Solar has its place, but a replacement for megawatt plants is not it.
Treehuggers need to stay in california.
Do you ever feel the fear that someone is watching you with bad intent while you're alone in the woods?
>>936274
no the woods have a very low population density and black people don't live there
>>936274

>someone else watching you
By definition, such a thing cannot be.

You won't have time to die from fright.

I have a very shallow stream running across the property. Would there be a downside to clearing the stream of brush, deepening it, and making the walls more steep? I want to make it look more aesthetic.
Other info: It's basically dry during the summer months.
>>946012
depending where you live there can be pretty strict rules regarding whettlands. It may be that you aren't allowed to alter or obstruct the stream because it supports an ecosystem further downstream that could be damaged if the stream becomes a shit.
>people get fined for this sort of thing regularly
>>946012
Dredging in a stream is quite illegal in many parts of the US. You could get fined by your town conservation commission, your state DEP or equivalent, or even by the Army Corps of Engineers.
Also, if you do make the banks steeper by dredging it out, they're going to become unstable and undercut unless you stabilize them properly. Learn about bank stabilization before you try this.
And don't tell anyone you're doing it.
I'm starting to notice my life runs in cycles. I usually spend 1/3 of my time unemployed and out traveling. And then the other 2/3 I work my ass off and get as much money as possible so I can quit my shitty job and go out again. I can't keep that up forever. Who's been through something like this and what did you end up doing?
>>946842
I jerk off alot. Like ALOT alot.
Also, my triple homocide probation really screws me at job interviews.
>>946842
That's essentially my schedule too, aside from the job-quitting.
I spend half to 3/4 of the year on some pretty intense contract work, save everything I earn, and then do something fun and cool the rest of the time. I've been able to take some really awesome long-term road/camping trips, and I've spent close to 3 years cumulative on extended trips out of the country. While it can be stressful sometimes trying to line up projects, I value my independence and my ability to set my own schedule too much to want to do something more consistent and boring.
Been doing it for almost 10 years now and have no intention of stopping anytime soon.

Nice blog
Hi /out/
I was wondering if any of you guys have any advice on growing miracle berries. I have been interested in growing these amazing plants for some time now. Only two problems
>I live in a 5b temperate zone
>I'm planning on using an indoor greenhouse
but I don't know what kind to buy
this is my first time posting, and this seems like the only board that was remotely related to botany. Any advice is welcome.
>>946840
From what I understand they're usually grown in Africa. I've gotten them in pill form before if you're only interested in the effect they have. But I'd imagine they would grow fine in a greenhouse, as long as it's big enough
>>946847
I'm more interested in growing them than just observing the affects. I was actually hoping of starting a small business out of it if it's successful enough.
>>946861
The only think I can think of is getting them adequate light and soil depth. Those are the two things stopping me from growing oranges inside
What's mandatory in a survival kit? For me:
-Firesteel
-Hooks and lines
-Wiresaw
-Suture kits (nursefag here)
>water, as much as possible
>food, as much as possible
>some form of shelter
all else is try hardy MUH LONG TERM SURHVIHVEL! bullshit, carry water, AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, remember 2 days without water and your as good as dead, but Ghandi lived without food for 21 days multiple times,
and then have shelter, easily errectable, minimal maintainance, stop TV inspired survival LARPING
>>946733
This is a troll post, right? Since hook and line literally is a suture kit. And, for the most part, someone requiring stitches aint walking out alive.
If i cant save your life with benadryl, asprin, or suppplies in my kit (2 peices of cloth and a stick make a very good tourniquoute) then rip in peace, nigga.
>>946747
You might not be able to save a life with a suture kit, but I can.
Is /out/ a fag that puts hooks on hats? You would want to get in a fishing emergency and not have a hook would you?
>>946706
Shit in your pic is absolute faggotry.
When I switch flies I'll put the one I just used in my hat to let it dry so that it doesn't get moisture in my fly box and rust the rest of my hooks. I don't walk around in public like that though.
>>946706
Why is this a thread?

Can any of you guys enlighten me on a good sleeping bag? I have most of everything else figured out for camping. But when it comes to sleeping gear I'm at a loss.
Like if it's -5 sleeping bag and 60 degrees will it be suffering warm. Or if it's a 50 degree bag and 20 will I hypothermia? Is there a good one do it all bag.
Also bivvy advice? Thanks in advance gentlemen.
>>946038
Enlightened Equipment Revelation, 850 DT, long, wide.
Bivy unknown, but S.O.L. could work.

Get a 40-30 degree bag and purchase a liner with it. Sea-to-Summit makes a good set up liners that will expand your bag up to 25 degrees if you need it to be a truer to 0 degree bag.
If the weather is above 50 degrees you can then use the lightweight liner as a summer bag.
I have a boulder creek 0 degree bag and I love it. I do not backpack though, I car camp. Its heavy as fuck, but it's warm enough for me. I sleep very cold and it keeps me warm for winter camping in northern az.
