A blurry picture of a sage/report bug. Sadly not that uncommon.

That's what happens when you go too long without washing your rug. The rest of the swarm will awaken within a week, so I'd recommend you abandon ship.

Yup, take a laptop up to the top of the mountain where the tower is, plug into the router and go from there.

Backhaul radios are just glorified wifi.

Of course I do outdoor wifi, how else would I sage shitty thread while deep in the national forest?

I prefer indoor camping.

I use a microfiber towel, which come in sizes S-XXL, from Decathalon, for under a tenner. It packs up smaller than a cotton hand towel and dries my entire body.

Muslin is cotton, so have fun with it taking ages to dry

>>1026071
Yeah and muslins are just a bunch of terrorists anyway.

>>1026069
Packtowel make great towels, they really aren't that expensive and pack down small and are light. They also dry super fast which is key. They only reason I would use one over muslin sheets is the drying time.

all i can say is the person that made that image and its accompaniments doesnt go outside. i mean how could they, if they have have the ability and time to do all that. how the fuck do you even put subtitles on a video?

People do it. It's nothing new either, the earliest written article about batoning, was in 1920.

Less shit than most carry now.

It was just bulkier.

>>1035745
we'd carry anything from 60-95 lbs, and that would last us anything from a week to a month depending how light we pack.

a lot of us would cache food on the way out if we were coming back the same way. That lightens the load a bit.

>>1035745
Honestly looks like about the same weight I carry on long trips. Things just look heavier because being compact wasn't really a necessary demand for gear makers.
These days, compact gear is a #1 selling point.

>>1033991

>>1034164

Then don't.

I actually just got the idea to maybe start climbing or something, but it seems awfully dangerous, I'd definitely find a way to fuck up and break my spine or something. I'm probably too fat either way and would just look fucking ridiculous if any stranger happened to see me doing it.

Fuck you OP
You are a gigantic yeasty vagina

>>1031704
The marlin spike hitch is a typical knot.

If you have short fixed loops on your hammock and then use long tree straps you just put the hitch down the strap at the desired length.

I just use sturdy chunks of branches for the spikes / toggles.

Just buy the Atlas straps you cheap bastard

>>1031728
The atlas straps work but they're really heavy, and overpriced.

If you want daisy chain straps, just buy cheap knockoff ones.

Cinch buckles, or whoopie slings are lighter and about the same price.

Because you'll go crazy from isolation in the unlikely event that you don't starve to death first

Trespassing and private land are huge problems. Lack of experience is another. Inconsistent food, possibility of disease, and lack of modern materials for cleaning, prepping, and safely consuming the animals you hunt are also problems. Getting good, clean water and safe plants to consume is also pretty hard. Overall, maintaining a healthy diet is the biggest problem for you; private land can be circumvented by finding a large enough area for you to have a dedicated living space and hunting ground, and a lack of experience will be overcome in time and with some practice and research in dealing with predators and the issue of safe food.

I wouldn't recommend it, but there are plenty of experiences you can read about in case you decide you want to.

>>1031649
through-out history entire communities have starved to death and that's with them all knowing what they are doing

so go ahead and try it if you want to die

midges, get a head net.
also, ground can be very deep and wet, you might need wellies.

>>1028570
What about the East of Scotland? The location isn't definite yet. I hear the East doesn't have so many midges.

Never been Glencoe way myself, though all of the West coast is pretty great. I do hear that normies enjoy going there to trash the place, with beer bottles and cheap camping gear, since it is a well known glen. Perhaps a place a little bit more of the beaen path would be more enjoyable.

With regards the to your second question yes there are midges and clegs when the wind dies down. One trick is to leave your arms uncovered that way fewer midges go for your more sensitive face, also it is easier to brush the midges of your arms.

Does anybody wear underwear like this anymore?

Merino underwear you can wear for days but will only last a couple of months.

I just wear cheep kmart trunks. They're cumpfy as hell, zero chaffing, and they even sell a set organised by days, which is helpful.

>>1027586
I've never had issues with my balls flopping around when running? Is it a common issue?

I do wear boxer-briefs though.
