Hello dogbert

I've heard it reckoned that medium dogs would be the ones to survive if humans disappeared.

>>1053759
wouldn't doubt it small and big dogs have been genetically raped over the years

Are you retarded or just new at batoning?

>>1075034
Neither. I never baton because it is not necessary. A knife is for cutting, not striking.

>>1075034
>new to batoning

Who the fuck practices batoning? It should only ever be used as a last last last resort because there's a high chance that you'll end up with no fire wood AND a broken knife...

Easy to say she was stupid, but she probably didn't even realize the possible danger.

Also, she got dehydrated before the children, which suggests there was another health problem, could be diabetes, could be a stiff drink the night before, could be a particularly spicy food a few days before.

I personally read those tales and am sad.

>she ran out of water
>The body was discovered on the north side of the Colorado River

What?!?!?!?!?
Sure you might get sick from drinking the water, but it is better than dying from dehydration and will buy you enough time to get help.

If she didn't then she 900000% deserved to die and it's a shame her kids didn't die too so they couldn't spread the COMPLETE AND TOTAL LACK OF THE ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE

>>1074111
Worst part is she was a medical doctor too.

Stihl or Husqvarna?

I forgot to say that the wood will mostly be oak, walnut and other hardwoods I still can't identify.

I hope you are practicing coppicing and pollarding for infinite firewood.

Just about any moderate length Stihl chainsaw will be perfect. If you are not familiar with chainsaws I recommend watching several youtube safety videos (by familiar mean 2 years of chainsaw use with training); even then a refresher is always good before the season starts. Death and disfigurement are good motivators on brushing up on safety.

Sounds comfy, hope you have fun.

Hello friend, welcome to the world of location recording!

I don't have any experience with smartphone mics myself, but there are at least a couple good brands out there that make them (thinking Rode specifially) so it's worth looking into. For your price range I would suggest starting with a handheld stereo recorder. Although you might not have the option to expand if you want to use it with mics someday (either a shotgun mic for collecting single sounds or a pair of mics for collecting stereo ambience).

For around $100 you should be able to get a Zoom H1 or a Tascam DR-05 or similar. Or you could get an XY stereo mic pair for your phone if you think that'll be worthwhile (I wouldn't though - for nature recordings it's best to use something you can leave alone for awhile). You'll also want to get a little tripor or something as well so you can place the recorder and walk away.

What types of recordings do you want to do? Ambience? Birds? Collecting Sound FX?

Thanks for the reply! I've looked into the Tascam DR-05 before and seems within my budget. Do you have any experience with it?

I'm mostly interested in longish recordings of the natural environment in places like fields or forests and streams in the Sierra Nevadas that I hope to visit this Summer. So yeah, bird calls, other animals, insects, running water etc. I want to do some field recordings so I can listen to and remember those places for the rest of the year when I'm stuck in an urban concrete hellhole.

And nice recordings, are those yours? What kind of setup do you have?

Use leaves pussy

>>1075776
I forgot to mention... desert hike. There were exactly zero suitable leaves for wiping ass on the trail I was on.

>>1075782
>inb4 use cactus

So many gear pics often omit TP. Maybe it would be shown if there were MSR Hiking TP at 35 USD for a roll of 50 sheet.

>>1074233
I have one of those. You have to continually feed it little sticks which means babysitting it and going off to refuel your stick pile if you run out.

Its much better to use solid fuel tabs imo.

I only ever use wood while out. A handful of twigs is enough for a big meal.

little stove like that should do fine. I got this but haven't tried it out.

Be a hero brother. Let us know how it goes.

No

Hope you're able to prove you're medically disabled or live in one the like 3 states that allows crossbow hunting for fucking anything

>>1075917
Not op and I'm kind of a newfag but I want to get /out/ more, can you hunt small game with it? If I don't have a hunting license and I kill some squrilles or something, how much trouble can I get in? (I live in Canada)

Honestly, you can get a decent compound bow for around that price, and a really good one for $300 more. This is before arrows, a release and a decent sight. Also stay away from store brands.

I was faced with the choice between getting a compound bow and crossbow, and I'm really glad I went the compound bow route. Much lighter, so you can spot and stalk, or hunt out of treestands/blinds. If you have to take a follow up shot because you missed and the animal didn't run off, you can take one in less than 10 seconds, as opposed to having to recock the crossbow after loading a bolt.

It's going to take a little time to get consistent though. It took me about 2 months to get good out to 40 yards, and I practiced 1-2 times a week.

Maybe dont leave shit lying around?

I'd want my raft to have sun protection at least. use plastic barrels instead of logs. And two by fours for the decking. One cubic foot of buoyancy is enough force to hold up 100 pounds. There is 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot. So a 55 gallon plastic barrel can float 735lbs (do include the barrels weight in your calculations.) 8 foot 2x4 weighs about 13 pounds.

So assuming you and your friend are 200lbs or under. That leaves you
335 pounds to build on. On a single 55gallon drum. Of course a single 55 is hard to build on and most go with say six, three on each side.. That leaves you rougly about 4010 pounds.

I'm not an engineer. But I build all sorts of boats and floaty things..

Rafts are easy to build and are unsinkable but they are slower than walking. Expect to cover 5 miles a day.
