probably no big deal, but then again.
you might find yourself in way over your head.
photo was taken in the smokies some years ago.
without winter gear/know how would have been fatal.

*Most* of that stuff is gimmicky cheapo grade stuff, breaks easily or doesn't last long, but it's better than not having anything.

The folding saw or the sierra saw are both useable and work well.

The camp knife is also usable for the price.

The boy scout style cooking kit isn't too shabby either.

The saws are solid..the axe, not so much, the head is just as likely to fly off as the handle is to bend and break, an axe is not a tool you should have to baby to keep it working.

Basiclaly anything Coghlan's is fine if the price isn't "too good to be true". The cheap stuff is fine as well because there's no real financial loss either way.

Forced shitty meme is forced and shitty.

I'm a fan of military surplus myself. Sure, it's not as fancy as Fjallraven or other high-end brands, but it meets all of your criteria while remaining dirt cheap. People here tend to be pretty fond of Varusteleka, but I'm sure there's a plethora of other surplus stores in Europe that you could buy from as well.

thanks for the answer, do you know if those clothes make noise while wearing them?

actually nevermind, i start thinking that i have a reading disorder

I have a few times, as an experiment.
>is it tasty?
It's pretty bland, maybe a little on the sour side if you don't leach it long enough.
>worth the effort
To say you did it in the process of learning a survival skill sure. As a means of using it for routine consumption...eh. Personally if I were trying to do it in volume I'd simply throw the kernels in a food processor now that I did it once the "traditional" way.

MAKE A CAKE FOR THE SQUIRELS

>>1087343
Yeah, but it takes forever. You need to leach out the tannins for a couple of days after you've made it into a flour. Basically, that's just using several changes of water that it soaks in for a couple days. This removes the tannins, makes it less bitter, and renders it so you don't need a kidney transplant.

I recommend getting a grain grinder. Like a Corona/Victoria corn mill.

Most of the trains are old and shitty, often late, the people who work on the stations and in the trains usually don't speak English.

Uhhh doesn't seem like a bad tent.However,there are lighter alternatives around the same price (check out Alps Mountaineering).Not sure if weight is a biggie for you.All things considered,seems like a nice tent if you could get it for 117 USD

ALPs mountaineering lynx 2 man tent is better design and cheaper

Thanks for the suggestions!

Just buy a .22 lr if you want to hunt. Head to a range and practice shooting for awhile, take some safety classes 'n shit, then grab some permits an go ded another living being because you think it's fun.

>>1086199
NJ doesnt allow rifle hunting other than in specific cases.

We have Shotgun (with sights), black powder or bow hunting.

There are special seasons for rimfire and pellet hunting of varmet species and some on private property.


I have like 5 22lr rifles.

>>1086195
Get good in the pine barrens and you can track and kill anything anywhere, it's like European Extreme mode.

>>1086147
Yes, it is just perfect. Go ahead!

>>1086147
Unless you're planning a late fall or winter trip it might be a bit overkill, but nothing actually wrong with it.

I prefer Osprey out of the "budget" pack brands but the Keltys are fine.

>>1086185
sarcasm, r-right?
>>1086296
I'm going in two weeks. Personally I thought it would be pants on head retarded to wear this pack. Overkill to say the least. Money was the issue here-I would just wear this pack unless it's just kinda ridiculous-which I suspect it is. Probably worth it to spend the money and buy a backpack style day pack (I was looking at Osprey)

Peaceful poops guaranteed, with that kind of view

>>1086244
I don't see any rivers.

Different strokes for different folks. Personally I can't live without music when at home or walking or in the car but out on a hike I love the sounds of nature and think obscuring that is detrimental to my enjoyment. Also it stops you hearing things which might be important, like people or animals.

If you like hiking with music, do it. Other people prefer not to. Both approaches are fine.

>tips?
Research. Pray, if that's your thing. Good luck.

1st they probably aren't going to throw a new guy into the middle of no where by himself with a bunch of people who don't know shit either, i don't care how many times you have done something your first day on the job should be shadowing someone so you know how they expect things to be done, everyone does shit differently.

if they insist otherwise you should tell them you do not feel comfortable as you are used to the terrain and climate of Colorado not Minnesota and you would like someone more experienced to show you the ropes of the area, more then likely they will do that because you have already made it that far it and would take longer to fire you then hire a new guy.

also the best line i have ever used was "actually i don't know that but i can learn it real quick" shows them you're honest while not being a complete moron, just don't use it too much.

>>1086028
Did you lie about anything like avalanche certifications or wilderness first responder?
