I'm working towards it. My dad is retiring in a couple of years and they want to move and leave me the house and land.

It's exactly half an acre and already has a well for water.

>>886279
My parents were into it. I only lived the life style until I was 9 (father passed away, we had to move to town) it was amazing from what I can recall, we still have the land and all in the family.

You want the garden area fenced so you can let the chickens roam, but not be crapping on the backyard or patio- or running out the front driveway.
They'll eat caterpillars grasshoppers and such that would damage crops- no need for pesticides and lower feed costs.
Beehives are strictly based on surrounding area.
They'll travel up to 5+ miles a day to forrage. But if you're in the middle of a pine forest, there will be nothing for them to eat and the colony will be in poor health- just a single hive can have 50,000 bees easily, that would require 5 acres of flowers (whether that's weeds, wildflowers, fruit trees etc).

I read Blood Meridian (again) during my last weekend trip. Something about it feels appropriate.

>>913435
Look at heated clothing. A vest or something might be good or maybe gloves.

>cotton for cold weather
Dear god why?

>>913435
Strongly recommend a good set of long johns, wool or synthetic (LL Bean makes a wool union suit with a thin cotton lining that's very warm and comfy, would highly recommend). A nice wool knit cap would be good too. If you wanna get him a good pair of work mittens on the cheap, Kinko axeman gloves are god-tier comfy.

>>913446
I was told long johns or thermal bottoms but I didnt know where to start brand wise. Someone else mentioned LL Bean and possible military surplus ones.

Salted beef is not jerky. even just sticking meat in a bunch of salt isn't salted meat. Jerky is meat that has been (optionally) marinated, and dried. In order to make salt meat, you need to go through multiple steps of brining and aging. if you wanna go super cheap, get a box fan and a bunch of cheap home radiator filters, put your cuts of meat in the ridges of the filters, and stack them on top of the box fan with the air blowing through them. Technique based Alton Brown.

>>912878
Not likely; I've never heard of that being done successfully. You'd definitely end up having to change the salt a few times if it worked at all.

I'd start by soaking the strips in brine overnight and then smoke it over a hardwood fire until it was done. It can be stored for quite a while in dry salt, as long as there isn't thick marbling.

Dont know about the bow but to cure meat you have to hold it in salt for some time and then smoke it to get that flavour. You can just cut it in small strips - salt as fuck and hang it in warm, ventilated area to dry but make sure no flies get to it. Same goes for fish... Smell really bad but tasye good with beer

is it humbolt? go to humbolt and do fisheries.

Instead of attanding college take out the maximum student loans you can then buy 128 shipping containers and weld them together into a shitpost.

>>912730
yes, that is actually my major.

No. But the old standby, hookers and blow is always in season.

>>912672
£50 limit though, can you imagine the quality of blow and the attractiveness of the hooker I'd get with that?

Chemical heater packets. Keep the batteries in one insulated container with a single packet. Change out the packet when needed.

>>912428
Insulate them and put them together with your thermos, boiled water etc.

whats this called,?

>>912413
That's a hitch bro. Specifically a cow knot or some shit.

Look, tie a bowline to fixed objects because it's always easy to untie. When running a line around an object such as a tent stake loop or branch,run your line through the loop, then tie a hitch exactly like your picture. Slide it up and down to tension the line, the friction will keep it from sliding back down.

Knee pads, elbow pads, head lamp, whistle, bandana, spare head lamp, helmet, pee bottle.

Keep in mind some caves are actually illegal to venture into because of bats. But for spelunking it's good to bring plenty of light sources. Specifically, a small handheld flashlight, a bigger, more powerful handheld, a hardhat with a mounted light, extra batteries for all, and a bunch of glow sticks. Use the glow sticks to mark your path back, since it is really easy to get lost in a cave. knee and elbow pads are nice, and a good pair of hard-knuckle gloves. First aid kit, of course, and a length of rope for emergencies. DO NOT climb or rappel unless you have the proper training and equipment, plus someone to belay. That also, bring someone with you. Caves can be dangerous as fuck, and you need someone to retrieve your corpse.

cool i have all of those things, should i expect to be confronted by an animal though?

>Implying I go fishing
Yeah right, cunt

>>912303
I guess OP wasn't talking to you then you fucking retarded faggot. But thanks for the bump.

>>912291
There is a fishing general thread, try there.

>>912291
In the pastebin in the OP of the fishin thread, there is a fly guide but it was written by Skid so might be completely useless

If you want something more economical and philosophical, Walden. If you want adventure, the rest of Gary Paulsen's hatchet series is pretty aight. Liver-eating Johnson is fucking brutal, it's the inspiration for the movie Jeremiah Johnson.

>>912286
>pass the liver

And I have a hardbound, first edition.

With out reading the source material, the liver scene with Johnson and del Gue in the movie is so subtle it's imperceptible.

Highly recommended.

I love this series along with the My Side of The Mountain books by Jean Craighead George.
