Boil to kill bacteria and viruses, filter to remove harmful substances such as heavy metals and other toxins.

Activated carbon is one of the best filter mediums.

I believe you mean "media" lol

What about iodine?

Gonna be humid as fuck, where abouts in japan are you going?

Should be okay to hike wherever as long as it's not somebody's property (wouldn't worry about this too much, people in JP don't own acres of land like in the states or parts of Europe so its pretty obvious if you end up in someones garden or a farmers field) or it seems destructive in some way

Again depending on where you go, take some bear bells

>>Gonna be humid as fuck, where abouts in japan are you going?

I'm heading for Hokkaido, so it won't be too humid I reckon. There will be more bears though, so I'll make sure to procure some bear bells.

japan is very big on ordnung so I can't imagine doing anything not explicitly condoned on the trail rules/etc being very well received

A tent

>>1063130
There is no such thing as a 2 person hammock.

Go ahead and try to sleep 2 people in a hammock, at first it's not bad.

A few hours later, time and gravity have pushed you both together at the lowest point of the hammock into ine sweaty lump of human meat. It's awful.

Your question is way too open ended. Where are you going? What temps are expected? What tarp are you using, what are you using for insulation, how tall are you, do you need bug protection, do you side sleep or on your back?

Or just buy an ENO like I'm sure someone will reccomend, because spending twice as much on an inferior product sounds like fun.

>>1063130
I use a Grand Trunk UL, but that isn't for everyone. If you need a setup all in one, the Hennessy Hammock is apparently pretty great

Also like >>1063173 said two people in a hammock is not that fun and ENO is pretty bad imo because of price. Why spend that much when you can do it for cheaper AND have better product?

Depends how long you're /out/ and where

maybe an anti-diarrheal, otherwise that's all you need (barring special cases like personally prescribed epipens, inhalers, etc.).

>inb4 quickclot shills show up
direct pressure and elevation will be just fine.

>>1061851
Asshole, it's bad form to /thread your own post.

>>1055838
Well, probably 80% of states have great hiking in one part or another. I'm partial to New Hampshire, Maine and Massachusetts, but I am from New ENgland orginally.

buy a set /repair set and replace them. or you can DIY some but its gonna cost more time and might suck if you dont have the skills. straps are sold online google says 2 20 € in my country.

>>1054612
hey you actually did use my quote
anyway, padding to shoulder straps? I just wrap duct tape around if I really need it, but I wouldnt buy a pack that had bad straps

I don't like truffles, rain, the Snoqualamie Pass, or Starbucks, and pigs are best used for bacon.

>>1068867
I will add 'it is not Texas' to that list.

If you're not a 57 year old Italian/French farmer or a 24 year old "documentary filmmaker" who hasn't made a single film you have no business even thinking about going truffle hunting.

A life straw if you're into gadgets
Or a Mora Companion!!!

I you don't have one yet these are handy if you use camelbacks. Just don't let it freeze.

Regardless if you find a put you seem to be ignoring the cost of living for the pig. If you cant afford the pig then you probably cannot afford to raise it. Pigs can also get very very large.

>>1068303
Pigs don't cost anything. You can buy yourself a wiener pig for $50 and that'd be the best way to get started. If feed starts to hurt your wallet, just eat him. Do not buy a female. They won't stop screaming once they hit puberty.
The downside to truffle pigs as opposed to truffle dogs is that pigs are greedy animals, and will have no incentive to find truffles if you don't immediately reward him with truffles or something as good.
I'm assuming you have experience teaching dogs to track and you live in an area rich enough with truffles to make this worth it.

This has the makings of the greatest /out/ thread ever.

The triangle stones that come with the Sharpmaker are good.

I've also heard of people using rods made from "pyrex".
I forget the name of the material but it's what they make Pyrex out of.


DMT or EZE LAP make diamond coated sharpening steels in fine grits.
Might be a good alternative.

just spend the money you dweeb

I actually have an eze lap pocket diamond rod, thats around 600 grit. I was actually wanting to get the ceramic rod to use in conjunction with it, since most are saying the white ceramic is normally 1000-1200 grit, black ceramic is listed at 2000-2200 grit...but that is a little overkill for me.

>>1068142
That's why I am asking, I don't really wanna spend 40 bucks if the 4 dollar rod does the same thing...especially since ceramic is pretty easy to break and I'll be using it mostly outside. I wouldn't have any issue spending a little more if it was going to stay in my knife block in the kitchen.

I live in BC, I will use them when I'm hiking, hunting, and just going innawoods. Distances can get pretty far, but I would like magnification, my shitty bushnells are fixed magnification

>>1068095
I have never owned any super expensive binos...but my buddy had some Steiners, they were pretty damn nice. Hopefully someone can give you some better advice.

But why

Do you want deserts for 1000 miles of fields for 1000 miles?

This is where I don't post the national trails in my state that are beautiful and not crowded.

>>1063166
Sorry, but the Gulf coast is a fucking swamp. Go up to Appalachia if you want to go camping.

William Bankhead national forest up north of Tuscaloosa is pretty nice

I'm in middle Delaware, any tips for around here? Don't mind driving a couple hours. I want to be able to start a controlled campfire, although it's not a deal breaker. And I'd like enough seclusion to light up.
