>national parks

They're all trashed by hikers and campers. Go to national forests instead. Less regulations. You aren't being spied on by rangers. You don't have that many hiker faggots trashing the place. Free to hunt. Good fishing.

>>900226
This. Also lots of hunting/fishing spots. In addition to that some states allow public use of timber land or tax forfeited land.

They're all great. Don't be autistic.

>you can go outside on your days off
That'll be cool for exactly 3 days

Also, it's fucking cold and there's no backing out, can't just skip work for a birthday.

>>919871
cool

I'm thinking about applying for an IT position. I'm a software developer, but their requirements are only high school degree, and I have a bachelors in applied science and I've been programming for 5 years. It's basically data entry and project management on base apparently


>>919873
Most jobs are during the summer, minimal staff during the winter. 24 hours of daylight, so no winter blues, and it can get to ~50 degrees F on a good day

>>919665
I'd also like to know. I live southwest of Houston and don't have a car, so my /out/ options are limited. You can only go to Brazos Bend so many times before it becomes excruciatingly boring.
Also, screw this weather. 80° on Xmas day is idiotic.

Nice Satan trips lol. I'm out in aggieland, so got some options out to the West, but Sam Houston is fairly large and just a bit to the East of here...

Wish it would fucking freeze or at least be cold, the other weekend was pretty nice when we had out 2 days of winter. I just want to go out in the woods, have a fire, wrap up in my cozy down bag and sleep in nice chilly night.

>>919674
For real; I just wanna be able to wear comfy winter clothes at least. I bike to work most days, so the hot weather is especially annoying when it's almost January and I still end up sweating buckets before I even start work.
I love Texas, but dang it, I've gotta leave this area as soon as I have the money to do so. Probably gonna move to Nashville and spend as much time as possible at stone door.

You can be high speed low drag as fuck without looking like a complete tard. Have in mind that velcro and morale patches give you tons of tard points.

Lots of fire.

>>919099
Wool blanket
Have a shelter. If no tent then do the classic lean and build a fire wall on the back side of your fire to direct more heat your way. The key here is to put in as much work as you can to have plenty of fire wood for the night.

>>919099
Make sure you have a liner and a blanket

The liner is very very important.

Silk if you are kinky or good linen

I live inna woods near jackman, unincorporated territory with 4 residents. I have about 46 acres, 3 cabins. Cost about 50K.

I just use a jeep to get to town for supplies or my 4 wheeler most of the year, winder i use a snow machine and sled to get stuff once a month or so.

Folks are mostly pretty simple, expect everyone to know who you are so don't be a scumbag.

>>919018
What do you do for work? I figured it would be simple, which is what I'm looking for, just want to be innawoods

Getting out of the military soon and want a place away from the city, living in and around Washington D.C. is so disconcerting. Every time I go in the city it gives me an on edge, bad feeling. It's surreal, like I'm in the twilight zone.

Doesn't matter. What matters is how good your sleeping bag is.

And pad! Even with a proper bag without a proper pad you will be cold!

Honda and Yamaha generators are more or less considered the best.

>Honda and Yamaha generators are more or less considered the best.
Correct, also the most expensive by a large margin. They are built well though.

>>918340
>Generac
Good value for the money IMO. I have an older iX2000, the newer iQ2000's run even quieter and are parallelable if you need more power than one can provide. A little more picky on carb tuning and fuel octane/quality than the hondamahas.

If you're /out/, consider a propane camp stove instead of electric appliances. Lighter, easier to deal with innawoods, and far more efficient.
If you're looking for a standby genset for the house, i'd size something at least 5kW.

Whatever you get needs maintenance - run it periodically, oil change and air filter cleaning at least yearly. Install an hour meter to track its runtime. It's not the same as utility power, let it warm up before you apply load, and let it run for a few minutes with no-load before you shut it down. The engine and electronics will thank you.

>If this cat can do it with zero gear, so can I.
lol no that cat was forged by billions of years of evolution to be the most prolific and ruthless killing machine on the planet that preys on the most fucking species ever.

you on the other hand have evolved to be part of a clan to work as part of a community. survival alone is not only insanely hard but also doesn't cover your needs mentally and socially.

I'm dutch and have lived in the Nederlands all my life. The best places are near Almere stad or Amsterdam zuidoost. Google it.

>>917108
Retard.

You could spend a visit to the Veluwe. Take the train to Nunspeet and walk through the forrest to the trainstation of Ermelo or Putten. Is around 30 km. (With a small loop)

Other places you could visit are de Utrechtse heuvel rug. De forrest around Hoenderloo, my favorite, watch out because at one moment I was suddenly walking on a shooting range of the dutch army. Or de forrest near Roosendaal, you've to walk to de Rucphense Heide.

Birds aren't that Important

Yeah, I imagine cats kill a few birds. In a densly populated area they might even have an impact on the population, but if the area is that densely populated we have probably reduced the natural bird predator population too, so I would bet that cats are only picking up the slack. Although human changes are quicker than "natural" ones, it's still just evolution and survival of the fittest. Humans are causing a mass extinction event, but the animals that adapt with us will fill the niches left by those that couldn't make it.

Learn to be quiet and still, become one with nature until nature forgets you're there. Learn to notice any movement or anything out of place. Find tracks follow them. Learn the land, learn where animals go, why, and at what times.


It will come with time.

>>916516
how long you stay still ?

There are different techniques for hunting different animals, but in any case you can't just stroll through a wood lot and expect to see things most of the time.

First off, and this is cool for non hunters as well, find a comfortable spot in the woods. A place you can sit perfectly still for a long time. Wear either camo or at least earth tone colors. Sit there and just wait, after about twenty or thirty minutes, the animals will forget you are there and start moving around again. The woods will come alive.

If you want to hunt ducks you need to find a pond or some place ducks like to go. If you want to hunt squirrels you need to find oak trees or other hardwoods where they live. If you are hunting pigeons you need to know where they roost, where they eat, and the flyway they use to get between.

Hunting is way more than just shooting, it is becoming in tune with the outdoors, the animals, and how it all works together.

You have to put one foot in front of the other.
