Boots - water resistant (if not completely water proof) with ankle support
Knife - an entry level folder is enough for now
Monopod - not as good as a trekking pole or tripod, but it serves both purposes

I'm assuming you already have a camera case, if you're just doing day hikes you shouldn't need something bigger than the average camera bag to carry extra lenses and water.

>>925491
A decent day pack. Comfortable pants and socks. Hydration bladder optional.

>>925491
Sounds like you're all set.
Unless you are actually having a problem that gear can fix, like shin splints from shitty shoes or too cold/hot/wet, buying gear won't make walking any more enjoyable.

Are you asking for /out/ themed books, or good books to read in the solitude of the woods?

Walden by Henry David Thoreau

Burning tires and standing in the smoke.

Thats how you get cancer dude.

>>925242
well, i have tried burning wet wood and grass, makes so much smoke that it actually keep the flies away for a second

>>925138
No, but it sounds like alot of fun. Have you OP?

>>925138
Yeah many times OP, mushrooms aren't fun in the city or indoors, and tripping in public during day light can make one nervous.

Doing that in two days. Never done anything stronger than pot before. What am I in for?

3500kcal to keep weight? Maybe in obese murica. Average person needs just 2500

I dare anyone to eat 6 kg of blueberries in 12 hours.

>>924991
Just 2500?
When working physically in a forest (making a camp/hunting) or when it's cold you need those calories.

>Male athletes who engage in vigorous physical activity, especially endurance sports, more than the average active man can require more than 3,000 calories per day.

All plastic leaches chemicals into the water. Some of those chemicals are more studied than others. The higher the heat the more it leaches. The water will eventually taste a bit like plastic.

>>923986
I've had these crack along a seam more than once. Not fun.

>>923986
Those things are like $30. so overpriced.

I had good success reusing the bag from the bagged wine. they are hella durable. Its a bitch to get the spout out, but they work well. sure, little of wine taste left over, but nothing to complain about

You know there is more to AZ than desert right? Im in the mountains. Theres plenty of squirrels, rabbits, deer and elk (not as much as the South). There just isnt any water.

>>923827
I figured. But how much variation is there? Within three hours, I can go to the beach, the mountains, swamps, heavy forests, rivers, etc.

Lived in AZ all my life. Typically you can get from desert (pic related, not OP's pic) to forest, to the one small area by the California border that has sand dunes like OP's pic in 3 hours for any particular stretch.

I just get a fork and spoon from my kitchen.

>>923703
This

Why spend money on basic shit like that to save an ounce and a minimal amount of space

Folding titanium spoon. But desu it's maximum autismo. But it fits inside my pot.

If I can't eat it with a spoon I make chopsticks or eat with my hands.

This post is pretty general, Anon.

Where are you going, when, and for how long? With how many other people? Campground or backcountry?

Is someone else taking care of all the food, or are you expected to bring along what you'll eat?

Right now, I'd seriously say just go to your local library. They'll probably have a couple books on camping that should get you the basic info.

>>922878

>going to a library instead of googling

ISHYGDDT

I'm guessing you got invited to go car camping. Let them know it's your first time, and ask what you'll need.

If they're going backpacking, let them know you'll pass, and then lurk here for a few months, spend another few months building a kit that fits your needs, and is appropriate for the group you're going with.
