No suggestions from me, but I plan to drive through Jefferson National Forest (they're often grouped together) tomorrow and camp there one night instead of checking into a hotel. I'm not familiar with the area but am currently planning to just trek a few hundred yards into Mountain Lake Wilderness southeast of Kire, VA to camp.

OP if there's somewhere you want checked out give me a recommendation and if it's not too far off-course I could take some pics.

>>922384
va here, it gets cold as shit in NOVA which is where GWNF is, so dress warm

Backcountry camping in GeeDub is great, but you're not supposed to do dispersed camping, except for in designated areas. People will report you and rangers are on tight lookout 24/7. Usually if you're off trail a few hundred meters you can get away with a few nights to a few weeks, depending on traffic, but just be careful. Don't want a ticket. Go visit humpback while you're there. It's beautiful (pic related) avd Old Rag if you get the chance (keep one of the opaque blue crystals that carpet the trail).

started playing for real then begain spoofing my location using an android emulator on my laptop. the same company later made pokemon go. ingress is far better though.

>>922276
That sucks

I started playing it seriously about a year ago, no regrets so far, me and GF enjoying the shit out of it

It uses too much data.

>>921893
no, but the misuse of words like advancement is leading to your own destruction

>>921893

Of course it causes a threat, but you need to do a cost-benefit analysis. Would you rather have computers, or 80% of the world covered in grassland?

Are you expecting me to say computers? I thought this was /out/.

Yes, humanity is reaching fantastic points in prosperity and progress in comparison to its entire history. It is very likely that population will steady, energy production will transform, and we will eventually travel to different planets to escape the inevitable consumption of our planet. Spending the rest of our days on some rock orbiting a red dwarf. But doesn't this sound familiar to you? We're fucking cancer, man. Nothing we have done has ever benefited anything else other than us, and nothing we plan to do will either. Even if we get our shit together we're only in it to stay above water, pushing down the heads of other creatures to stay afloat and take one more worthless gasp.

So yeah, I'd rather have grasslands than computers.
>But you're on one right now aren't you?
Technically yes, a phone. I am a hypocrite in the sense that I haven't already abandoned society to live completely liberated, but I am domesticated. I'm currently trying to fix that.

>>921770
Yeah bro looks hella warm!
Where can I get one?

>>921770
Looks okay. But I personally find lots of stitching to take away from the "wind" breaking effect.. Also I hate being a walking billboard. Those BS lables on the chest better be easy to seam rip off other wise I wouldn't get it.

>>921770
Get a real milsurp one

I've done some haphazard bullshit car winter camping, and there's not much to it except pack a lot more food and warm clothes and shit to burn than you expect.

I'm going out for my first full up winter time backpacking trip in a few weeks. I've been hiking towards the end of fall and the beginning of spring, but never this.

It's going to be in the Shenandoahs so it won't be anything like what you did (no sleds, probly get to 10F at the lowest extreme at night, 40f days) Still excited though.

>>921756
nice, its a pretty fun experience, alot more work than normal camping. What are you doing for shelter?

>>921762
Not sure yet. I might take my REI two man tent, maybe just take my whole US army modular sleep system (would probly supplement the bivy sack with a poncho/tarp). Suggestions? I don't really have or want to spend the $$ on a four season tent.

>use the techniques from Primitive Technology

>profit

I'm not really seeing a lot of elements in the design that aren't scalable.

>>921583
Primitive makes horrible chucksheds. Uses like the most spindly fucking saplings as stucture to hold up the heavy ass roofs he puts on. Death traps really... Plus he doesn't debark anything.

>>921574
You just have to experiment roof styles and designs.. They are the hardest part. The structure is easy if you over engineer everything you cannot be wrong.

>>921583
Maybe building what amounts to adjoining shacks, keeping the main structural bits isolated in case one fails. Assuming theres no hvac or electicity.

>What do you guys think?

>>921414
The toilet rings work well but keep in mind that useing just wax on leather can dry it out and make it brittle. If you realy need them to be water proof and are to cheap to get a wax oil blend go for it. If just want to shine them up then use some olive oil to keep them in good condition.

I'm a coyote shooter/ trapper
AMA

Bo-line
Figure eight (and variations)
Clove hitch

You can do most any utility with these. Source? Firefighter for 7 years, and these are the only ones I've ever used or needed in the field.

Some people go all out and learn 60 different knots, but they're most certainly not faster at making the three I listed, and their application serves the same purpose.

Truckers hitch

>>920685
clove hitch, bowline, overhand , butterfly knot

>>920584
Burton is like that and from what I hear so is llbean. I don't take adavantage of it but I do reach out to them to get upgraded zippers and laces. One time had them replace an old backpack with a new one but Honestly they probably get more out of the relationship than I do.

Guilt free, baby!

Don't feel bad because they jew you out several times so they can be able to do that.

You could paint it camo for manliness.

I have bought fake Yeti's direct from china and they are exactly the same thing. You forget the ones sold in the US are made in china to begin with. In some cases it'll be off the same machines.

Check the youtube review/ tests.
The walmart one for 9 bucks performs exactly like the one from yeti.
They are made in the same factory but one is over 50 bucks

Literally the embodiment of 90% of this board's frequenters.

Landscaper/grounds keeper would be the easiest to find. Maybe farm hand if you're in a rural area. Those jobs are hard work though.

A conservation officer or a park ranger are pretty /out/ in terms of jobs.

>>920049
>suddenly very pertinent
Implying no current job. Do you have any experience?

>>920115
>park ranger

Great suggestion! Everybody with no education or experience should apply!

Maybe Forest Service Law Enforcement takes neets, also?
