I don't actually have it yet honestly my dad has it and hasn't given it to me since he's up north
Recently bought one of these cooksets after a friend recommended it
Thoughts? Anyone have any experience with them?
Also /out/ cooking thread I guess
good and effective. pretty nice size when its all put together
i personally prefer cooking kits where the stove connects directly to the fuel. less evaporation, and no need to worry about refilling the fuel pot. yours is probably better for long term trips however
>>1045597
>canister stoves
you're being scammed, my friend.
>kerosene
>white gas
>motherfucking gasoline
>>1045597
The annoying thing about gas bottles is I can never really tell how full it is. Yes you can feel the weight of it but I'm paranoid about running out of gas and I always end up packing another bottle

I got 3 weeks of time to travel Europe and want to get as much culture as possible.
thats my current list
Madrid: Prado, Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Centro de Arte Reina Sofia
Paris: Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, Musée de l’Orangerie
London: British museum, Wallace collection, V&A
Amsterdam: Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Rembrandt Museum
Vienna: Hofburg, Albertina, Palais Liechtenstein
Florence: Galerie Uffizi, Piazza de' Pitti, Accademia di Belle Arti, Stibbert Museum
Rome: Vatican Museums, Galleria Borghese, Palazzo Colonna
any comments? did I miss something?
>>1044776
>Galerie Uffizi
The Uffizi are stupidly huge, you need a minimum of 3h to wander around and most of the art is from the 14th to the 16th century which means you'll find a thousand different version of Virgin Mary. Go to the Cappelle Medicee insteqd, it's a spectacular monumental chapel (basically a church inside another church) built by the Medici family.
Also you really need to take a look at the Fori Imperiali (a well preserved Roman district) and at the Vittoriano though you'll definetly see the latter stand out against the roofs.
Have fun, Europe is the best continent to live in atm

Any suggestions? Anybody want?
Holy drat she a qt

I'll take it off your hands
/out/ I need a knife.
I'm an infanteer so I need something thats mainly a tool but push comes to shove maybe put it in someone (in the unlikely event I don't have a bayonet but whatever). I would ask /k/ but they just scream KABAR at me so I thought you'd be better
Do you live in the UK?

Okay so what will you be doing with it? Cutting what?
Budget?
White mushroom (Porcini) in June
https://youtu.be/xhIJl6t1rkY
Is there a website that's region specific which shows the optimal times to begin searching for specific types of wild mushrooms?
Any ID on these? (Newfag)
>>1042003
Ooooh, I love a good funky porcini
Are scout as elite in other counties as they are here?
>Learn to tie five different knots blindfolded
>Learn how to build a variety of sculptures
>Learn navigation ex triangling, how to use a compass and etc
>Taught first aid and rescue techics
>Learn how to communicate via radio
>Always sleep in tents
>>1039691
Denmark here, I did most of that.
Not the sculptures thing, that sounds a little... eh... feminine...
>>1039691
American scouts don't do the blindfolds or radios. Sculpture is an optional merit badge, but pretty much all of the art badges are bullshit.
>>1039691
They are as elite as a catholic choir boy.
True question. Do you think the ability to survive naturally, in the wild, as an adult human being, is under-rated or over-rated in terms of difficulty?
Some points to get the conversation started:
- On the one hand you have the intense amount of physical activity required to establish yourself - make a decent shelter, find a good spot, etc.
- On the other hand every other animal is significantly less intelligent than you are and yet they managed to find a way to survive just fine, without even fire.
Are we over rating how difficult survival is because we live in the bubble of civil society?
Or are we forgetting just how extremely hard of a life it really is to survive on our own, because we've built up this wonderful civil society?
I'm hoping to hear opinions on both sides of the aisle.
It depends on your knowledge of a specific area.
If you want to live, you need to eat, and if you want to eat, you need to know the local animals.
It isn't a general skill that you can apply to any place.
>>1036884
>It depends on your knowledge of a specific area.
This. If you cut me lose in the area I live I'd be fine, but if you dropped me in southern Utah I'd probably die in an hour.
I think it's largely a wish fulfillment fantasy.
99% of people won't need any of that skillset in their lives and you'd be far better off spending the time working a second job, buying and selling thrift store items, teaching piano on the side, or other similar gigs.
What's a good and light 1-man tent? Is the Hilleberg ones the cream of the crop?
Which tents are generally /out/ approved?
Wild Country Zephyros 1. Costs a fraction of the Hilleberg but weighs the same. Done me proud so far.
What's the word on Terra Nova's tents?
Let's talk gear, again.
Planning on taking this on a month-long hiking trip through Scotland. Some pieces of pine, bbq-starters and a regular Zippo. I also bought this fire granulate but after fucking around with it today it didn't seem special.
Any experiences with this shit?
>>1035208
For hiking, I'd sooner take a bic lighter. They're not as sexy, but Zippo lighters have no valve system, so your fuel will evaporate over time. That's not an issue with bic.
>>1035220
Cheers to that, I'll take one or two bics. Thanks for educating me.
Feel free to post tobaccos (no weed allowed), pipes, collections, pics of favorite combos for going /out/, pics of what you're doing with your pipe and any questions you might have.
Want to get into smoking pipes without spending too much cash?
Get a Missouri Meerschaum Legend corncob pipe and a pouch of either Prince Albert, Carter Hall or Half and Half tobacco, available at most drugstores.
Accessories needed: pipe, tobacco, lighter or matches, pipe cleaners, and either a regular old nail or a pipe tool (combination tamper, scoop, and small pick).
All of these together should run you less than $20.
Having trouble keeping your pipe lit? Pack it looser and smoke it slower than you think you need to, lightly tamping as needed when the smoke starts thinning out.
If you're still having trouble, try packing using the Frank Method, detailed here:

OP I couldn't agree more but what does that have to do with honeysuckle
>>1030660
Honeysuckle smells godly and you can use the blooms to make a country wine.

Could you recommend a recipe?
What are the creepiest experiences that you guys have had inawoods?
>inb4 >>>/x/
I was stalked by a black burr for several hours while cambin. I was all alone, and it kept approaching my camp. I would make noise and shine my lights at it, and it would slowly walk away. An hour later or so it would come back from a different direction, and repeat. By 2am it kept coming back and I wanted to go to bed, so I had to pack up and bug-out in the middle of the night. Left my hammock and a bunch of other stuff behind, but grabbed my pack, had both my lights on full, hatchet in hand, and I ditched all the way back home through the spoopy dark woods. Went all the way back the next day to collect my stuff.
Was actually pretty unnerving.
Also, >>>/x/
>>1020364
Yea, that definitely sounds unnerving.
I don't think this belongs on /x/, it doesn't have to be paranormal. Your story isn't, but it's creepy.
>>1020368
I know m80 I was just being cheeky and joshin' with ya
I found a bunch of these and want to know what they are so i can check their nutrition and if theyre edible
They look like Yaupon Hollies, which are poisonous.
As a general rule of thumb
>10% of white and yellow berries are edible; 50% of red berries are edible; 90% of blue, black, or purple berries are edible, and 99% of aggregated berries are edible.
