Myself, my brother and our friend will be doing the one can challenge in mid March or early April and I wanted to invite /out/ to join us.
The guidelines are simple. You can have one bladed tool such as a multi, an axe or a saw and whatever gear you can fit completely inside a 12oz or smaller container. Regular clothing, required medicines, and tobacco (because we aren't quitting) aren't restricted (but you can't use non-resricted items such as lighters brought specifically for cigarettes to also light fires). We'll also be packing additional gear including a med kit, bottled water and some food for emergencies, but of course the challenge is to not use them during the week that we'll be there. We also will be in separate areas and not sharing supplies or resources. We'll be doing the challenge in NF land near a stocked lake.
Obviously, this is the internet so people will probably cheat, but fuck them, they're only cheating themselves; this is an exercise to test skills and learn from mistakes.
Open discussion for gear ideas and whether you plan on doing the challenge yourself. If it generates interest, I'll report back and open a discussion on what worked and what gear was packed but not used, and how long we made it without tapping into the emergency gear.

Just friends. For military, you only got a knife and map. Plus, there's checkpoints, a time limit measured in days, and a team whose sole job it is to catch you, put you into a sack, and beat you. Did I mention the knife is the same knife that has been used for years and passed down from solider to solider? It is about as sharp as your shoe, which you don't have.

Fuck I hate this world... Anything men have *must* be opened up to women.. and now women who think they're men, or vice versa. How come we don't see any men in the WNBA? Or the LPGA? It's weird how men not bending over to accommodate women(to the detriment of the community or sport) is seen as sexist, but having men in those female spaces is also *problematic*. I'm not happy about trump probably ending up starting ww3, but I do appreciate just how triggered he got these idiots to feel.

Can we all agree that ultralight backpacking was a dumb fad, and we all fell for it? Let me critique some of the points illustrated by this infographic.
>breathable DWR bivy sack
Either use fully waterproof/breathable top or else use nothing and just choose an airy enough campsite. The DWR always wets out in moist conditions and it always sweats from the inside in humid conditions.
>lightweight quilt
Except it's not efficient at all to use a sleeping bag that lacks a hood and that lacks a zipper. The mummy bag is popular because it works.
>torso pad
Only makes any sense in the summer. Terrible idea in the fall, spring and winter, when you really need it. Your pack isn't comfortable and, especially if you take the ultralight meme to its extreme where you are using a totally fabric 5 ounce backpack, doesn't provide enough (or maybe any) insulation under your legs.
>bear spray
Terrible idea at night when you can't be sure of wind direction or when you might use it from inside your tent. Great way to suffer vision loss and uncontrollable sneezing/coughing. Just carry a gun.
>stuffsack for a pillow
The real question is what the hell do you have left over to put into it on cold nights, when you'll need to be wearing your jacket? It's a lot more comfortable to use an inflatable pillow. Exped makes a good one.
>sleeping on your back
Enjoy the sensation of choking in your sleep.

>>941121
I know how the concept of ultralight backpacking works. You design your system so there is overlap between your clothes and sleeping bag. With all your clothes on your body and your puffy jacket on your body, there is NOTHING left over to put in your stuffsack. Best you'll usually be able to do is your shoes and rain gear, but that isn't enough if you sleep on your side, which most people do.

cheeky little cunt should have been wearing polyester blend socks at least
Hey /out/, I wanted to get some opinions on a commuting situation.
Over the past couple months, I've been working on my health/fitness and have been calorie counting and going for runs.
I've been considering going to a gym (because it's hard to motivate myself to actually run). I've also been considering buying a bike to commute to and from work (about a 15 min bike ride one-way, all flat road) to help with exercise/fitness, however I'm from NZ and we're going to be going into the winter soon and I wouldn't like to arrive at work cold and wet. I don't have a license, but I could just take the bus.
The bus would be kind of annoying since they don't run that often here so I would sometimes arrive 20-30 mins early at work and have to wait 20-30 mins after work for a bus.
So do you guys reckon I should buy a bike and take the bus when the weather's bad, or should I not bother with a bike and just take the bus?
Pic related, the urban bike I'd probably buy.

That's what I do. I don't even mind bad weather much so much, as long as I'm able to get to work dry (dont care if I get wet going home because I can change).
Cold isn't really a problem because riding keeps you warm. I ride all winter in Toronto, Canada (not that we're getting much of a winter this year) unless it's below about -15F, or during a blizzard - and that mostly because of bad drivers, the snow itself is kind of fun.
Alternately, if it's a 15 minute bike ride it should be about an hour walk, if you don't feel like waiting for the bus.
>>
>>939366
True, riding will keep me warm. The bike in pic is an 'urban bike' (whatever that is), and doesn't have an amazing amount of grip, but I guess it doesn't full-on snow here, only some minimal snow/ice for a week in the winter.

So, I'm an oldfag nowhere near new to these boards but haven't been an /out/ist by any means, since this board's inception. It has become painfully obvious that there is a very "diverse" group here - people who have no small amount of enmity towards each other.
Some people rail against hunting and are branded "tree huggers". There is definitely a population of "gear queers" here. The /k/ommandos probably lurk moar, but still post here as well. Poorfags and neets abound in "Homeless General" and in endless supplies of "what's the cheapest X" threads. MGTOW are "organizing" (lel) here. Young people can't imagine "old" people here. "Old" people laugh at the angst of youngsters here. Farmers, arborists, off-gridders, preppers, hikers, fishermen, weekend warriors, climbers, cyclists, survivalists and a slew of others... they're all here (with many crossovers abundant I'm sure).
What are the factions of /out/?

nice bike, BUT
- rear rack will fail you after 3 months
- most used bottle cage will fail you in about 3 months
- position the back wheel lever towards the back so that it doesn't hook to branches
- your saddle seems to point up
- spray paint everything matte black so you can hide it better innawoods while you sleep
- get rid of that light below saddle, use your headlamp as backlight by attaching it to the back of your helmet
- those levers on your handlebar will fail you on the 10th time your bike will fall

That's not likely to happen if they're tight enough and with vertical dropouts it won't be catastrophic, but then again there's no reason not to. By the way it's called a "quick release".
>- your saddle seems to point up
Maybe he likes it like that. Some are designed that way and everyone's ass is different.
>- spray paint everything matte black so you can hide it better innawoods while you sleep
Wat? No, you do that to your beater commuter so nobody steals it when you lock it up on campus.
>- get rid of that light below saddle, use your headlamp as backlight by attaching it to the back of your helmet
then you turn invisible when you turn your head
>- those levers on your handlebar will fail you on the 10th time your bike will fall
no they won't, I have them on my 'cross bike.
