I hear that you can't eat Poptarts raw or you'll get sick.

>>1063509
I've never cooked a poptart in my life yuppie

little fly poop/carcus ain't gonna kill ya. I can't think of any real problems. Don't eat anything to old? Make sure you stored your food right and it's still good. If you use local water boil it our whatever.

>no compass
>no stick breaker
This spinner us absolutely useless

>>1063315

I have a compass...

What's a stick breaker?

>>1063316
But should I consider killing you first? I mean...nothing like a plan.

Disabled left hand and leg due to damaged spine after a fall.
Badly.

>>1063057
what happened?

>>1060798
Kennetrek or Scarpa. Smokejumpers are shit for non fire work. They are heavy as fuck and never quite stop blistering your feet if you walk miles in the woods every day. They are great boots, just not for cruising or marking.

>>1060798
Get a pair of white's bro

Just don't get the lace-to-toe smokejumpers. Those will fuck your feet up.

>in 14 foot tinny fishing out in the deep sea

>it swims around and under the boat for some time
>does some playful humpback stuff, then swims away

That's about it for me. Never experienced anything cool in the woods as a kid (or adult).

Oh, wait... good stories? No, that all happened when I grew up and started traveling full time. Life is good.

>About 9 years old. 1992, go inna woods with 12 yr old cousin behind house in Georgia.
>explore too far, too many turns, get too lost, get more lost.
>come across three dead dogs off a dirt road. someone had shot in head and had lined up in row. Freaked out. Started singing the chorus to "life is a highway" over and over to help keep ourselves calm.
>get scared, older cousin absolutely convinces me their are devil worshipers all around us nearby..
>come across white abandoned house that had been graffitied by kids probably. All boarded up. Did not break inside. Odd sets of planted bushes we thought were marijuana (it wasn't)
>came across a rocky hill my cousin convinces me is some kind of satan sacrifice alter. Their was light water running down the side, brown mud which he convinced me was old blood from previous sacrifice.
>he freaks himself out at this point.
More "life is a highway" singing commences.
Find our way out and onto a main road. Its totally dark. Make it to gas station and decide on the purchase of two tubes of "squeeze pop" as sustenance. Attendant was all smiles.
>Leave and go back on main road. Cousins parents eventually pick us up. Pissed.
Explain that they had already visited gas station and told attendant they were looking for us. He told us nothing.

My friend used to be pretty innawoods, fished and gardened for food in an innawoods shack (owned the property it was on) built out of discount lumber. Shit in a bucket filled with cat litter until finally got a toilet put in last year. Also no internet/cell service at this house, obviously.

Professionally, I've built a couple innawoods houses, well water/solar/battery bank type stuff. Not as far /out/ as this friend, though, people who go that far out generally don't hire other people to do their shit.

>>1058852
If you are going to do this get an electric bear fence.

Here is a good video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6bThnA9Tvg

I would definitely fortify it in some way though anon. And I would cook in a different spot.

>>1058867

Some of my experiences

>patrol leader stole my food often.

>Kids would frequently masturbate in the tent at night with other kids in it, including me. (I was 12 or 13 at the time and home schooled, so very sheltered).

Basically just high school / middle school in the woods. The adult supervision was pretty lacking, which would have been fine if the kids weren't such assholes.

Nah, its been safety cucked ever since the 80s. If you want to do out shit as a kid then ask your dad to do shit with you.

by your description the only rational choice is the hultafors hatchet

Dont buy a new axe, theyre overpriced to all fuck. Just look around at pawn shops and online for an old collins or sandvik head. Then make a handle for it, you can make it exactly how you want it and its a good excuse to buy some tools.

survival lilly is one ugly mutt why do so many fanboys fap over to her flat arse and chest when her chin is bigger than their dicks

Thats why these hussies do this shit.
They dont know dick about bushcraft/survival, but they sure as shit get half naked for YouTube views

>>1049649
could lose the couch. I doubt you'll find much use for it /out/ plus it will lighten your load out tremendously.

2/10 - I would scrap everything but the tent, petzl HL, and water bladder (potentially the cook set too but the photo is washed out and I can't see what it is).

Is there a reason you are bringing so much power, 2 clunky knives and an axe?

Your first aid bag is too big, you won't use most of the shit they put in those pre-assembled bags and a ziplock is better for storage.

Sleeping mat is meh. Not what I'd use.

The most important parts of your gear are missing (sleeping bag, backpack, shoes, stove)

>>1049649
You clearly have good individual gear, at least the cutting tools, grans, esee, fallkniven and all but your kit seems oddly off. Show us what you actually carry and not what you have. You're definitely not hiking with two full size knives, axe and no backpack lel.

Obviously you want a Gransfors replica viking axe.

In no ticular order: Fiskars, Estwing, Vaughan. Keep your price point rational.

silky ono

axes are shit, hatchets and cleavers are better

or what I really mean
you dont NEED an axe
you shouldnt be felling live trees, in which case, a hatchet or cleaver is pleeenty
