>Not gonna be bringing a tent.
you're going to need a bivvy bag or something to keep the scorpions and snakes off you.

New mexico is huge.
What part are you heading to ?
I can tell you about the north rio grande corridor and thats about it.

>>1044934
No specific part, just planning to roam the west for a week, do some hikes and see some sights.

>>1044917

I've lived in New Mexico for the past 24 years. Was in Jersey before I came here. Trust me OP. If you are coming that far, go a few more hundred miles and spend your time anywhere in Southern Utah. New Mexico can be cool, but Utah is so much better.

Leaving for Scotland in 4 days. Got myself some Meindl Sienas.

Very nice shoes, very wide nose which is perfect for my ogre feet.

Stop being a cunt and give some actual feedback tho.

Sounds like you're just a compulsive loser in general. Have you considered suicide?

I like solitary hikes but having a friend to accompany you is great because the time passes by quicker.

is Patagonia stuff good? Yes.
Can you get the same thing from a different company at a cheaper price? Absolutely.

Check out Condor. Not sure what their MSRP is but I used to work at a milsurp store that sold their fleeces for like $35

>>1045154
This is the truth. I'm at a place now and I bought a fleece army coat for 30 bucks, no doubt it'll be 60 in the winter though

The thing to remember about companies like Patagonia, Marmot, etc is that they make really great technical gear, but the profit margin on that gear is smaller than the profit margin on t-shirts, fleeces, trucker hats, etc. The more over priced swag they sell, the less they have to charge for their top end gear.

That being said, buy the fleece you want. My best fleece ever was Old Navy. Hell, every Goodwill in America has racks of fleece jackets for dirt cheap.

Life jacket, firewood, weed

wind shelter

a coffin.

I often try more challenging routes and more dangerous approaches on my outings because I believe it feels better once you've completed it and you have achieved something greater.

That being said, when I'm with other people I will always make sure they understand the risks and will ask if they want to or not. And if I'm in a situation where if a problem arose I'd be in even bigger trouble, then I may proceed cautiously.

Photo of the tang (weight at about six ounces)

isn't 65Mn a kind of spring steel? at least thats what i get from my german database and online like http://www.totalmateria.com/subgroup.aspx?LN=EN&id1=30337&db=S

anyways it should be fine with non abuse use.

i myself tend to avoid stainless or most rustproof alloys as rust is basically a non issue besides looks. unless you do a lot of watersport your only lose a few microns a year. and you get better properties for the same cost.

>>1041428
Yeah its said to be something of the like of spring steel, also thas why its coated so it doesnt show imperfections n shit. Also for 30$ I wont lose much.

It'll work

I've used a 119 (similar knife) for the tasks you mention without problems. Fishing too, and the 420HC holds up well to corrosion.

Whats you opinion on the Buck Selkirk? Seems like a nice full tang knife with (probably easily swapped) mycarta handles. Ive only found out about it today, and it has a thicker blade for batoning as well. Seriously considering it..

>>1040594

Looks ok. More bushcraftey with the broader blade, wide tang and fire steel, but it'd work the same for tasks outside of hunting/food and tent pegs/kindling.

Same steel. 420HC is decent enough.

If you want a more multipurpose knife, it'd probably be better.

On the other end, a Buck 110 folder would also work for nearly everything, with a hatchet for splitting timber.

If you have to ask; you won't be one

Even if you acquire the capital to join; you'll just be nouveau riche

I have been twice at the Trolltunga.
You don't really need any advice, just wear good hiking boots, have raincoat with, pretty much a lot of food (Trolltunga hike takes about 8-10 hours). One bottle of water is enough for both of you - there are plenty of creeks with clean fresh mountain water.

>>1044680
and remember to take some warm cloth with you - up in the mountains it can be really cold compare to the ground temperature. During my hike last year it was only +8/+10 degrees

>>1044682
trolltunga... be prepared to stand in line for an hour after hiking for 4 just to take the same photo thousands of tourist have taken before... you same applies to all those places
