ITT: Times your /out/ing excursions have gone terribly, terribly wrong
Planned a trip on the AT. 4 days.
Week of the trip my boss offers OT.
I start working doubles. Work one the day before my trip.
Get home Im whooped. Crash and sleep 14 hrs.
At some point my friend called and asked if I was still going.
Me still asleep told him "no, I'm working tonight."
They leave without me.
I'm so messed when I wake up I go into work and they're like aren't you off for a week?
By the time I got my shit right my group was already a day ahead on the trail.
>visiting some mountain in Virginia about 10 years ago, can't even remember the name now
>stomach is cramping on the way up
>progressively getting worse as we reach the summit
>holy shit I can barely move
>cramp is so bad I start drinking from a stream (went through a gallon on the climb up, water subdued the pain a little) with no fucks given to disease or parasites
>have to turn around
>climb down was even worse, forced to take a knee every 20 feet
>am driven home by bf, takes 5 hours and the pain becomes unbearable
>have to go to emergency room
>gallbladder was about to burst
Essentially every time I go to VA something bad happens so now I avoid the state if possible.

Other than the time I drove a fence post through my thigh hunting?

>don't see shit-all the first day, the three of us combined shoot a total of 4 mallards and a random snow goose (limit is 6 ducks, 3 canadas, 5 snows/ross/specks combined, and 1 brant per person). Literally never even saw a brant
>dad's getting worse
>that night he spends most of the evening puking in the hotel bathroom
>I'm starting to feel sick too

>end up spending 5 days there waiting for him to recover enough to travel, get royally bitched out by work even though I let them know I had a medical emergency and would be back late ahead of time
Does /out/ know anything about pic related? they've got some pretty neat jackets, but I can't find much in the way of reviews.
>>1095815
Looks to be the sister "company" to Kastking.
This means it's low-end chinese junk sold exclusively through Amazon and Ebay.
>>1095823
I'm not saying this isn't the case, but I don't see the connection other than name. logos are pretty different, neither of their sites seem to mention one another, and shooterking is a UK/ europe based company while kastking is based out of new york according to their facebook page
>>1095832
Googling around shows 2 sporting goods stores in the UK selling a very small selection of their products, everything else is sold via amazon.co.uk. It's all made in China. All of the youtube "reviews" of their products are basically unboxing reviews, literally the first 3 I watched showed them taking it out of the wrapper then trying to tell me it will hold up to abuse. Also all of them had the Chinese Engrish accent which makes me think literal shill.
Kastking is incorporated through NY because it's cheap and easy to incorporate in NY. I have never seen their products sold in-store anywhere in the US, and only through a couple small mom and pop shops in the UK. Again, the large majority of it is sold on amazon.
I'm homeless starting tomorrow what do I do? I'm freaking out
Go to an homeless shelter, find a job, stay away from drugs, stop watching porn. Don't blow it, keep it simple, count your money.
>>1095224
>move to a new place
Get out of the city
Move to a small town
They need workers
Housing is cheaper
>look sharp
Use your spare change to do laundry
Shave your head and face
Shower at rest stops
>get a job
Take the bus
Save your money
>buy an apartment
The end
>>1095230
Never EVER live at a shelter OP
Any random bush in town is better to sleep in than a fucking shelter
I was curious as to what books you guys may have learned most from and your recommendations. Post your favorite survival book
as a krautfag i read one from a german author you probably don'T know.
but seriously. none of these authors re-invented the wheel. there are only so many ways to build a shed and only so many ways to start a fire.
what i'm saying: once you've read one survival book, you read them all. some goes with youtube videos
>>1096569
Yep, this.
However, if i had to make a recconmendation, perhaps the boy scout or eagle scout handbooks would suffice?
>>1095208
i keep an old boyscout handbook ontop of my toliet and browse it whenever im pooping. i assume i must be learned something through osmosis whenever i poop at home.
what's your favorite tony home design? do you have a tiny home? if so, what does your blueprint look like? I need to build one in the next two months (on wheels with a hitch). I have all the tools and resources I need. What are the ins and outs of this endeavour?
I like the ones that are at least 500 square feet.
I've been living in one with my family for the past year. AMA.
>>1094723
how big is the house?
>inb4 tiny
can you describe your installation?
I live on Long Island NY, looking to go cabin camping upstate this winter. I've done cabin camping outside of the state back in boy scouts but I'm unfamiliar with good places to do so in NY. I'd prefer rustic though I'm not against something with very basic electricity. Looking to have 4-6 people go with me if any anons have good recommendations, I'll also take some tips for newbies because a couple people going with me will be pretty new to camping.
>>1094328
Seconding this, two old college buddies and I are looking to rent a cabin for the weekend in the Adirondacks before/ after deer season.
In the same situation, can't find shit cause I'm lazy.
Former long islander here (H-Ton represent). Can't speak to formal campsites but there's some good spots to pitch a tent uninterrupted up by Carmel. Also if you don't mind driving far upstate, the park area northeast of Potsdam is pretty great, where nobody will bother you. Wish I could offer more help with specifics but it's been a while.
I was going to put this in /adv/ but I figured /out/ was a good start. I've been honestly thinking about checking out from this world and just going to live someplace uninhabited or sparsely occupied by people. I don't see anything as better right now, going to live out in the wilderness planting your foot down and saying this land is mine (or at least until the country I plant my foot down in decides to fuck with me for muh modern society reasons) I'm in the US by the way. Anyways yeah I've been honestly thinking about just packing up and getting a plane ticket or boat ride to Europe and just walk until I find a nice place to put my foot down (hopefully avoiding the Middle East) but hey isn't that part of the adventure. We only live once and I don't want to be a slave at some nine to five where I come home, eat, sleep, and, shit, then go to work for somebody at some job for what? To pay my rent and buy food to maintain the cycle, I don't see the worth in it honestly. I currently have no attachments to my life here in the states, I have family but they wouldn't miss me or I them. What do you guys think? I honestly just want to live my life exploring the world and reading books, and farming or possibly hunting, I feel people aren't given enough options in life. I honestly have no-one to legitimately discuss this with, my family are ragging Catholics, I respect their spiritually to that aspect they might get it, but I know they wouldn't understand where I'm coming from based off of other conversations due to their religion. The few friends I chose to have would agree with me but wouldn't actually take the leap into doing it. Pic related this man Radhanath Swami did what I'm thinking of doing and became a Buddhist monk I think, when we walked to the Himalayas. He was a US citizen, and changed his man this what I mentioned, I don't know why, probably part of his religion.

That seems nice, where did this man do this?
I'll give this a bump and see what happens

Talk about fishin
>>1093995
Anyone get those monthly LTBs? Are they worth it?
>>1094000
Never worth it full price.
>>1093882
People who fish a lot tend to buy good shit, no matter their income level, because they know it matters.
They've seen what happens if they don't, and most people aren't into watching money burn.
The poors just buy their good shit less often.
>>1093886
Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Use about twice as much salt as you think you need.
In a skillet, put 1/2tbsp oil and 1/2tbsp butter in the bottom; get it hot and smoking. Put filets in meat side down for 1 to 1-1/2 minutes, then flip and finish up skin side down. They are done when the rib bones easily pop out of the meat when you run your spatula along them.
Remove from pan immediately and serve. They will be insanely good.

>this guy again
Because wild caught is twice as good as farmed and wild populations can sustain small scale harvest just fine. We've been over this.
Besides, WANTING to eat wild caught fish isn't poverty-tier, HAVING to is.
He doesn't HAVE to, he WANTS TO, because it really does taste so much better.
The occasional meal from even quite contaminated waters is just fine. And most waters aren't even that contaminated anymore. 40+ years of clean water legislation and holding polluting businesses financially liable for cleanup has really done wonders for water quality.
Also,
>7.5lb pike
>rare as hen's teeth
Pick one.
A healthy watershed with northern pike will often have populations of fish well over 10lbs. Taking a 7.5lb pike is like taking a 4lb bass-it's not the end of the world.
Help! Long story short, I saved about 100 tadpoles from a pool cover in july. I put them in a big black garbage can with some sticks rocks and leaves. Some are starting to get legs, but fall is around the corner and im wondering when these lil shits are gona be frogs or toads and hop away? I recently read that some frogs hibernate deep in the mud of ponds over the winter.....So do i have to store this make shift tadpole home over winter? If it freezes will they die. Any advice would be helpful.
Find a pond and dump the tadpoles in it.
>>1093904
very difficult to diferentiate if you don't know the species exactly...but following a more or less common rule, frog ones don't get bigger than the tip of your middle finger, and toad ones can become a lot bigger, sometimes even thumb-tip size
I'm planning on spending 10-14 days in the Adirondacks in October backpacking. Recommendations on where to start?
>>1092582
High peaks is an option. I'm planning a Mount Marcy summit in late October, you could probably bag most of the 46 high peaks if you wanted to in 10-14 days.
>>1092585
Where are you planning on starting?
I'm interested in doing a few peaks but I'd like to spend more time in the valleys. Hoping to see a moose.
>>1092588
was going to take the Van Hoevenberg Trail from the adk loj, I'm a total novice as far as mountains go so I figured it'd be a decent but doable challenge.
I hear Colden, Gothics and Cascade are great too, but I'm new to the area so I'm no expert. I'm gonna give those a try before it gets too cold to do it without costly gear.
I don't think you'll have any luck with moose, though. There's only a couple hundred in the whole state, afaik.

Being bored during high school read The Lonesome Gods multiple times. Went on a hike and took off from there.

Why the FUCK is /out/ gear so expensive, lads?
>>1095625
I'm going to guess, few buyers, intermittent sales, good quality for the most part (it becomes fairly obvious fairly quickly if something is of bad quality when you smash it against rocks all day).
>>1095625
Because people who don't use it bought it for looks.
>>1095625
buy once cry once.
Going to be heading out on the Long Trail some time this month. I am going to avoid all but the main path, but I might take up to 5 detours depending on how cool things on the others are.
What should I absolutely bring?
I am definitely bringing a tent, my phone, nutrition bars, and a good few bottles of water.
I don't really feel like wasting money on lodging, hot meals, or showers (unless they're those 50 cent ones and not out of my way).
Should add that I can easily clear 20 miles in around 3-5 hours depending on the terrain, and am going to shoot for clearing at least 30 miles a day.
I'll have time to tell you tomorrow.
>>1095323
Bring 2hu lewds.
Do you have much experience and how many other people are you going with?
