sell to every customer. if you get an up that doesn't buy then it's your fault, identify what you did wrong and don't do it again next time.

Carry less shit

>>1085085
thanks, this helps a lot.
I carry as little as possible, but enough for comfort to ensure I have a good time. But there are probably more things I have not thought of yet.

Buy light gear instead of heavy gear. How hard is that? Oh wait, you want heavy gear that is lighter. Good luck retard

Look at the Sun at high noon during a regular day, that is about the same amount of time you could look at the eclipse. You can probably sneak a quick glimpse without issue, but I would be willing to bet that damage will start to occur within single digit seconds of time. Doesn't seem like it's worth the risk, I would buy the glasses or go the store and get a replacement welding lense shade 12 or higher.

or if you think it will be faster to take the person afflicted with you, do that

tbqh you're far more likely to see and hear a rattlesnake before you're within striking distance. Try not to let it get to your head, it's the same thing as black bears, they are far more afraid of you than you are of them. They don't want to fight you. Just stay vigilant on your hike and make sure you get a good look around any rest spots / before you sit down. If you're really really worried, get a good radio and gps, and have the local ranger station's broadcasting frequency written and taped to the back of your radio.

Most people that are bitten by rattlesnakes do not die.
>It has been estimated that 7,000–8,000 people per year receive venomous bites in the United States, and about five of those people die.

Get some snake boots, protect your lower legs and you'll have much more peace of mind.

>>1082058
Its not only rattlesnakes but also cotton mouth and copper heads. Basically, the top 10 most dangerous snakes in the midwest call the national forest home. Ive read that timber rattlers have an interesting trait, in that they dont rattle or run when they sense you. They tend to say dead still and hope you think they are a stick.

The distance bothers me though. Im not leaving my wife in the forest after she was just bitten by one of the most deadly snakes in North America. Nor am I going to be able to carry her 10-20 miles to a ranger station in a time frame that ensures survival. I do know that slightly less than half snake bites are actually "dry" but I dont want to take that risk. I can not hike 15 miles in less than an hour. Nor can I hike 10 miles with a 130lbs person on my back in less than an hour. I know for a fact my wife cant drag me 196lb body 10 miles in less than an hour. Which leaves "tourniquet and hike"... that means 2 things. Either you lose the limb, or that the venom spreads even quicker with hearth rate. That is all just considering a rattlesnake and mentions nothing about the arguably deadlier cotton mouth and copper head.

Im still wondering why we couldnt have gone to Alaska, Canada, or Montana

definitly the companion. can't get better for the money. for me, the only downside is the size since i'm used to the glock fm 78.

I'm always afraid I'm that friend. I hike/walk fairly slow compared to other people and it makes me self-conscious.

I'd never lose or break other people's shit though

Pretty much, he exiled himself in a place he knew nothing about, and died from eating strange plants

Are you retarded? They pretended like he was Hawking and Ghandi all in one and he never even graduated high school

>>1080435
He got a college degree, what are you talking about?

>>1080179
Some of the economy topquilts from places like hammockgear are both affordable (~$120) and fucking awesome for 3-season camping. And yes, they work on ground pads as well as with hammocks.

>>1080179
that's an awesome picture.

Beautiful picture OP, is that the mountain from the movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"?

Shit's good on everything and you get to add the salt separately

How the hell are you going to use all those pockets comfortably, while wearing a pack?

>>1078696
Why do kids these days hate pockets? Do you cunts realize if you stopped being homos and get some pockets you might not need a backpack to go on a two mile hike. No you don't because you were all apparently raised by single moms who made you carry a purse

>>1078703
Yeah but I've got pockets in my pants too. So realistically I'd only need one or two pockets in my jacket.

>>1070799
I personally dislike hammocks exactly because I don't get a healthy sleep in them. If I can help it. I always rather sleep on the floor. That said, there are of course still pros and cons about it.

When you go camping even it's extended for weeks, sleeping daily in a hammock should do anything to your spine. Unless you're sensitive like me and your sleeping quality got worse and thus affects you through the day, of course.

I guess "longterm" as in months and in an off the grid kind off scenario you should rather look for a bed. You'd be needing a base camp anyway thus even building a bed (like) once wouldn't be too much.

>My hammock using friends told me that you're supposed to sleep in some specific way

Sleep like this

>>1070827
This.

Most people who use hammocks, use them incorrectly. If they're complaining about poor sleep it's like holding a knife by the blade and complaining that the manufacturer made it too dangerous.
