maybe you could put advertisements at tractor supply or hardware stores

Same way I cope with living in LA surrounded by leftist morons who claim to be for conserving the environment, but live in this urban trashed jungle. You leave or deal with it. Right now I'm dealing with it until I can get my shit together and leave.

Hawaii is the worst. Fuckin tourists, fuckin expensive, fuckin overdeveloped.

You're a stone's throw away from PA my man, just find a trail and set aside a day, or even more if you can, to go and do your thing

Capacity and fit should always be the top things.

Does it hold all your stuff and is it comfortable to wear when fully loaded. Any other features are pointless if those two criteria aren't met.


You'd think that would be a no-brainer, but working as an /out/fitter for several years I saw many people intent on buying gear that was just wrong for them because it had some neat feature they were hyper-focused on.

Back mesh is nice when it's hot. The downside is that it acts as a cheese grater, even slight motion will just extract fuzz out of your polarfleece. It's often simple to fix though with various ways.

Good fit is priceless. Good ergonomics in general, can tighten/loosen easily, essy access to a bigger pocket (useful for fast changes of layered clothing), a bit of waterproofing does not hurt but is not a killer feature (just drybag all the things)

help I also need a backpack but I don't know what to get. I need something I can put a lot of stuff in that won't be too expensive. I want one that I can attach a sleeping bag to the outside without having to lash it on with paracord if they make any like that.

Can confirm. Kernow is gorgeous and populated solely by angry pirate-accent midgets, rich retirees and their cute daughters and dogs. Vibrant Diversity has yet to blow up any of our beautiful cathedrals, or the numerous Neolithic villages, King Arthur's Castle and the mining stations. A Somalian rapist coke gang was arrested in Exeter the other day.

Annex Cornwall from Britistan.

Seriously yanks, it's worth coming to Kernow if you're in Ëngleland. Whole villages of happy whites, Mediterranean summers, gorgeous coastal hikes, great archeology, beautiful landscapes, and everyone native speaks like a friendly Captain Blackbeard

Watch some clips from Poldark, it has some great on set locations from Cornwall. I've seen them filming a few times whilst /out/ - the dude playing Poldark rode past me on a horse once a couple years ago.

They're generally weaker actions than a regular linerlock/framelock/memelock and you're eventually going to wear the spring out.

They're also at best no faster than an assisted and at worst, slower.

>calling that a switchblade
AAAAAAA

>>1088202

>blade opens via spring action through the press of a button

Yup, that's a switchblade

I have never been there but seems a nice trip, anon. Godspeed

>If you want to know anything more of my plans just ask
Solo trip? How many km?

>>1084803
Yeah i'm gonna be alone and its gonna wind up being something over 2000 km
Pleas tell me anything i might need to know, i'll be dealing with a lot of different weathers and all type of circumstances

>>1084803
>>1084807
2000 km to the north that is, from there i'll still have to take finland on

>>1084531
90% white

>>1084579
I agree. The state's high percentage of minorities relative to neighbors like Iowa and North Dakota makes it a much more fun, safe and welcoming place to be /out/.

>>1084531
>no people
>good craft beer and at least one decent local whiskey
>almost as much /out/ potential as Wyoming, but without the super dense tourist season around Yellowstone/Jackson/the Bighorns

I carry this one. It's mostly based on the swedish armys guidelines for survival in the swedish wilds.

Title is "Your forest manual"

>>1080064
Does it have an English edition? "Your forest manual" is too obscure for direct search but I'd like to find a .pdf

>>1080071
Not that i know of.
This is the book: http://www.bokus.com/bok/9789187397424/din-skogshandbok/

Had my quads ache up really bad to the point of moving at a half walking speed pace near the end of an all day uphill climb and had to turn around near the summit. I've gotten better at preventing it but I can't figure out what causes it exactly.

My observations is that it occurs usually on a carbohydrate-heavy trip. Usual trip food for me is rice w/ soy or spaghetti w/ sauce and various "hiking" snacks like trail mix. My previous trip I've expanded past the carbs a fair amount trying to prevent these aches and seemed successful. I brought along dried bananas/mangoes and crackers and salami in addition to the rice/spaghetti.

The aches did stop and I could walk all day long, was I missing vitamins (provided by banana/mango) or was it something like protein/fat in the salami I was missing? Or is it just dehydration?

I've had to bail on a few because of shitty conditions, like slide/avalanche danger.

I've never tapped out for physical reasons, but then I'm not into hardcore mountaineering. I'm an unashamed weekend peak bagger.

I have 3 pair duluth pants and a vest. Theyre pretty great, hold up well and are way more comfortable than stuff like Carhartt. My first pair of pants ive had for 6 years and they are good and thrashed. Ive kept them alive with patches, cant stand to lose them they have been great pants and gone with me everywhere. I think it was primarily UV damage that did them in. They always held up great living inna, but about a couple steps further than sun bleaching and they started to rip. The vest has been fucking great. Most people arent into vests but ive never found one better than my duluth vest. My fleece lined fire hose pants are the shit, they are essential in my winter gear. I dont have experience with their shirts or underwear, just the fire hose pants and vest. Ive lived outside for years wearing this stuff, so if you have specific questions i will try and answer.

Sweet, thanks for the detailed response.

I'm looking at buying the firehose work pants, the firehose jacket, their flannel, and a couple of henleys..

Do you find it annoying having to un-velcro your pocket every time you go to grab your wallet from your butt pocket?

Are you able to move freely in them? Seems like firehose material would be restricting..

Can you wear them in the summer, or are they too hot?

My dad wears a lot of their shit. If they manufactured in the States I'd be all over it.
