Looks like black chokeberries

>>908023
Are they usually 5mm wide?

>>908019
Are the leaves under your hand part of the same plant as the berries?

>>907961
Bump?

I liked mountain house beef stroganoff, lasagna, and the breakfast skillet (though that one is a bit of a mushy messs, still tasted good). I tried mountain house chili mac as well but the beans didn't rehydrate very well. I haven't tried the other brands.

Heather's Choice.

Not cheap but easily the best I have eaten.

Among the lower priced ones: Pack It Gourmet

>>907838
That's a plant alright.

You need some background understanding of botany terms and a good field guide, possibly a small field microscope, and a ruler to really identify plants. Its the same way you identify insects in the field.

Phone screencap of an example

I've worked for them at two different parks and have also worked for the forest service, ask away.

Also, inb4 the butthurt anti-government poster.

>>907826
How's the pay/difficulty?

>>907826
Any interesting stories you'd like to share?

What states did you work in?

Do you prefer working for NPS or Forestry Service? My ex works with the Forestry Service.

Nice. How you gonna generate money for the stuff you're not (yet) self-sufficient in?

>>907801
I have lived a monk-like lifestyle since graduating and working full-time at 21. The property was cheap since it's not designed for living in and has no heating / running water etc, so I had enough money left over to buy solar panels and so on. My uncle has a ton of tools since he's a carpenter and he travelled up there with me on two occasions since he thought it was a fun thing to do.

tldr: savings

As for making money, I have zero interest in doing that for at least a year. Maybe I'll have to return to the mainland and find a job at some point, but my intention is to detach myself as best I can from society for the next twelve months. There's a library in a town called Daliburgh so I'll cycle there if I feel the urge to shitpost or whatever.

Living the dream man, good luck!

>>907540
yeah

>>907540
Pretty vague question.

1. Look for a lease.
2. Look at the TPWD page and read about public lands.

>>907540
The entire fucking state. We have 4 million+ native deer and about 150k wild exotics roaming around.

How about regular food you fucking autist. Gas station sandwiches are you serious?

>gas station sandwiches

take a bible so you can beg for forgiveness for when those things rip through your ass

in all seriousness a fuck ton of water, more than you think. Rice cakes, energy bar, nuts are good

>>907338
Just get Cliff bars,Trail Mix, or dry food like rice and beans. I mean, don't get me wrong, I've had some great gas station food here and there but there's not point to intentionally giving yourself diarrhea while camping.

>>907352
Also yes, bring a lot of water. Don't bring Gatorade or sugary drinks.

oh, and the guy is apparently a zookeeper...kek

>not pepper spraying an off-leash roo

Fucking Aussies.

I would have used my knoife 2bh and stabbed the cunt.

>>907088
Instead of buying a new rod get some different lures. Buy some x rap long casts, they're better for surf rods since you can actually load them up.

http://www.rapala.com/rapala/lures/x-rap-saltwater-series/x-rapandreg-long-cast/X+Rap+Long+Cast.html

well $140 well spent on lures.

Tries soft plastics for the first time. Pretty nice. Definitely a lot more technique going into it than I'm used to.

But apparently the best cod catcher in my area swears by them. So gonna give em a good going this weekend.

Also, found a good option for flicking big lures. $160 Willsons Magnum. Much cheaper than the Venom and the local tackleshop owner reckons they'e grouse.

Crayfish heads for the dogs.

We ate the tails already. Didn't get a pick.

holmes, there's already a thread for knives, and most of the time people are talking about cheap ones anyway

>>907175
So whats your opinion on the thread subject?

>>907188
generally a hard pass

>>907096
Build a pit of rocks and keep it in a stream or lake

>>907103
Does that work to keep it liquid when it's below freezing? I've heard of doing that in the summer to keep it cool, but I guess it might work in the winter if the water hasn't frozen.

>>907104
I've never done it, but logic would seem to indicate that since the beer isn't moving in the bottle, it would freeze if the surrounding water is below 0 C

Im currently looking at this set up but i dont know if it is worth the 350 price tag or if it is a total ripoff. It has a 40 pould weight

>>907068
Where are you located OP? Because in Florida, I bow fish armored catfish in neighborhood canals with sharpened dowels and a shitty bow I got out of a garage sale.
Yeah, it's probably not what you're looking for but its still fun to do on weekends for <20$

>>907068
You could probably get a regular bow and just get specialized arrows. I'm getting the samik sage recurve for Christmas. I'm hoping to hunt big game.

>>907054
Organic no till related information is invaluable. Look up hugelkultur. Permies is a good forum with info you are looking for under the growies tab.

I went farming tomatoes and other vegetables with my grandparents. Didn't go as planned tho and now i'm on my own.

>>907054
If your relatives already run flower farms, why not ask them?

If you want a distributor, just Google to buy large quantity of flowers and contact the wholesaler about selling your stuff.

If you want to know about farming you don't need to go to uni, just get a book on the sub. Or better yet, get someone off of craiglist to teach you.

Just buy seeds and plant them, go to any wholesaler and sell your stuff.

Layer up motherfucker. Generally what you're looking for is part of a suit that costs 1000+ USD
Two puffy's a flannel and a shell plus a warm base layer might work and run for 500-700$ total depending on what brands and features you look for

>>906739
Not the answer I was hoping for.

But the answer I was expecting. Thanks man.

>>906741
id prefer layers over a big thick jacket

Darn Tough socks.

>>906553
Isn't that a webzone that sells various items, both non-US and US made?

>>906569
Now this looks great, I'll have to pickup a pair or two.
