Little nuggets of outdoor lore that others may or may not know.

Wash your hands before you do masturbating, dont want them woods AIDs infecting your dick.

In many cases, predators are easier to trick/trap than tasty prey animals. They arent used to being preyed upon and their 'attack and eat that' attitude makes them more predictable, easier to trap or kill.

always make sure your campfire is completely extinguished before leaving

Salt and peanut butter is bait for everything except fish

Should you dry the moss first? (and if so, how?)

Most moss I've come across has been slightly damp, and havent ever needed to try this

>>348955
When filling a container from a moving stream/river, point the container downstream rather than up.
Any floating debris will be washed around the opening rather than into it.

>>348982
This is terrible advice. What's downstream from your camp is upstream from someone else.

>>348981
I always find it dry, but your area is probably more humid. No idea how to to dry it other than leaving it out to dry, which is how you find it.

I think there is a miscommunication on moss types. there is that weird grey green moss that grows on some cedars and stuff. and the is the squishy greenstuff that will grow at the foot of trees

You mean lichen?

the faster, the higher (elevation) and the further away from pastures a stream is, the cleaner it is.

If you find moss on only one side of a tree, it's most likely north.

Streams just under melting ice contain microscopic parts of rock and will fuck your digestive system.

This kind of stream usually go to a small mountain lake. Due to the lack of other lifeforms, this water contain a huge quantity of bacteria.

After the lake, there is another stream. The water will be charged in oxygen and this kill the bacterias. This is the best place to get water.

If you've scraped your leg, you can use TP or paper towel to give yourself a harder scab to protect the wound. Once the bleeding's stopped and it's oozing the yellow stuff, put the TP on the wound and let it soak it up. Leave the wet TP on and let it dry.

Also, if you don't have a maul to split wood, but you don't want to get your hatchet (if you have one) stuck, carve a few hardwood wedges and use a big stick or a rock as a mallet. Use the hatchet to start a crack and the wedges will go in fine. Although you won't need to often, you can also use wedges to free a stuck tool.

Dryer lint makes for a great firestarter even in small amounts since it can catch from sparks fairly easily.

Even if the lighter is out of gas, bics come with huge flints which are still capable of lighting fires.

Pic or it didn't happened.

While I am pro bic, I doubt that you can light anything else than gas. Since it will take years before it run out of gas, and since you can carry a large pack with low weight penalty, this is not an issue anyway.

Pic related, it happen 100 time a day around the river. Deal with it.
You are made of dinosaur shit, deal with it too.

If I saw a guy shitting in the river, I'd be tempted to jump in there and drown the little shit.

>>349494
Not that guy, but I don't think you can have used bics all that much if you think they last for years. I just use them for starting fires/lighting candles and shit and usually need a new one every couple of months. Even still though, they're so cheap there's almost no reason not to toss 3 or 4 in your sack on any journey.

As for lighting with just the sparks, I haven't started a full fire that way, but have used them to set little pieces of paper on fire when bored with a used lighter. So it's at least possible.

>>349504

Pop the guard off them and shower sparks on your tinder. Works well enough and beats rubbing sticks.

>>349494

For trapping fish, its easy to set lines and weave baskets, but if the water is small and moving, its easier to stake it across a knee deep point and make a latticework dam. This holds all fish moving upstream at that point. A further mobile latticework can be constructed and moved upstream to herd fish into a greater density for easier catching.

>>349504
You light like 5 or 10 cigarette every day, plus the candles.

You can hunt at night with just a torch. If you have an intense beam, it can freeze an animal in its tracks. You can walk right up to a rabbit and club it with a bright enough lamp. The lamp can freeze deer long enough to shoot.
I recommend a cheap cree, make sure its zoomable and as high a lumen output as you can find.

always hunt walking against the wind, all animals smell better than you can.

build a fire that will go all night by building a small ramp for wood to trickle into the fire on. use only big logs or the fire will spread.

make char cloth innawoods naturally by using cat tails. dig a hole next to a fire, place the cat tails in there then place a small fire on top of it.

goats are the best bang for your buck animal you can take innawoods with you.

burdock(the plant with those annoying velcro like burrs) is highly edible. you can eat the large leaves like salad, boil the roots like potatoes, and the burrs can be used as a natural velcro as modern velcro was modeled after them.

desalinate water by boiling it into a metal tube, cover this tube with a damp cloth and periodically poor dirty cool water on it. this will turn the water vapor back into water which is desalinated.

use rubbing alcohol on your feet weeks before a long trek to harden them up and reduce blisters.

>>350692
>make char cloth innawoods naturally by using cat tails. dig a hole next to a fire, place the cat tails in there then place a small fire on top of it.

I prefer athletic tape over moleskin and duct.

Athletic tape can be used as a bandage/dressing directly over small wounds, it breathes. On top of that you can use it to treat sprains and support joints. Also athletic tape sticks to sweaty skin and won't fall off like duct tape will.

Medical tape works too, but it doesn't breathe so its not good as athletic tape for a band-aid replacement.

personally i just like how a full grown can carry 30 lbs of gear while eating most of its food/water on the way. most of its water comes from grass so it doesnt need to stop by streams constantly.

The bee venom is "apitoxin" and the stuff in it that is so powerful is "melittin" get it some research.>Melittin also exhibits potent anti-microbial activity. For example, melittin has been shown to exert "profound inhibitory effects" on Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria that causes lyme disease.[3] Melittin has also been shown to kill the yeast Candida albicans[4] and to suppress Mycoplasma hominis and Chlamydia trachomatis infections.[5][6][7]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melittinhttp://cid.oxfordjournals.org/content/25/Supplement_1/S48

>>352318

The whole point of the rocks is speed. The birds will escape the sticks in maybe 3 seconds. A hammock or net is going to take longer to throw and unfurl correctly.
Unless the net was staked above, ready to be dropped like a trap. But in that case, the stick forest isnt needed at all.

I understand a net could have a higher catch rate, but its that much more difficult to deploy correctly.

>Should you dry the moss first?

If you know what club moss looks like, collect the spore pods and dry them in a bag for a few days. You're left with the spores which is called lycopodium powder. It's amazing stuff. 110% waterproof, natural lubricant , and can be used as a flash powder that won't burn your skin or start secondary fires. It's not very useful innawoods but it makes for some great party tricks.

You can build an oven using a hole lined with fire heated stones. Place food in center, add more stones and green foliage to prevent soil from getting at it, then bury it. Dig it up in a couple of hours for your roast

wtf is wrong with u? if ur innawoods you wanna stay under a tree, for the same reason to have a fire under a tree.

you're somewhat protected from the elements (rain/snow/wind) , it helps trap the heat from the fire, and the smoke will repel most insects from said shelter.

as long as you're not camping under a dead christmas tree you'll be fine.

Bullshit. you stay the warmest by lighting the fire as close to the tree as possible. For even better results make sure it's a conifer with lots of those little sap blisters on it.

Sing old show tunes and musical numbers, but replace key words with "bear". Bears are so sensitive to puns that hearing "Some Bear Over the Rainbow" will cause them to commit swift suicide.

Seriously, if it's a black bear, hang everything with an odor where he can't reach it. If he still comes around, make an assload of noise and chase him while throwing things at him. 99.999% of black bears run away from people.

You can make storage containers from birch bark

Cattails have a white part near the roots that can be eaten raw and is full of starch. Simply pull them up to harvest. As they are so abundant you can usually get a good meal. All white parts of the plant can be eaten.
Whilst the white parts can be eaten raw, its probably safer to cook it as you'll be pulling them from untreated water.

The small young ones are like bland tasting baby carrots but once they get much
more then finger length, they become stringy and need preparation.

>>357204
This.
The young ones taste vaguely like cucumber to me.
Mature ones are best sliced up and boiled into a soup.
In an emergency you can chew on them and swallow the juice to get out as much of the good stuff as you can and then spit out the wad of stringy crap you're left with.

I am lichen this thread.

You can pick honeysuckle flowers, nip off the green stem part and suck the base of the petals to get the nectar. They're sweet and pleasant, not always a great deal of nectar per flower but they usually grow in abundance, and they're much nicer tasting than most things you can find or gather, and bitches are always impressed by it.
Easy to get them to suck elsewhere namsayin?

A paper cup filled with water will not burn below the waterline when placed in a fire. The water will boil instead.

Uk outers, in late autumn, often as late as beginning of november here, you can harvest magic mushrooms.

Look anywhere you find long grass for little broan mushrooms.
The features you need to know are: nipple capped, stem lighter or the same colour as cap, and gills darker than the stem and cap.

That's how you identify the common liberty cap. Where you find one, you can find dozens in manu cases.

Spread them on a sheet of newspaper to dry. 30 fresh liberty caps is a good dose, but when dried they can be weighed for accuracy.

>water hemlock
There is a terrifying amount on roadsides around the ditches that fill up with water, this year here in Delaware. I ride a bike and try not to let it even come close to touching my leg.

>>358971
Are you sure it's hemlock? It's actually fairly rare these days as far as I know because so many people kill it. But cow parsnip and hogweed look very similar and are more common. Even still, you're wise to avoid it either way. Misidentifying hemlock is a one time mistake and even some otherwise benign hogweeds have a light activated sap that can cause sever dermatitis as well.

>if you want to break your neck, climbing a tree at night is your best bet

Turn an old cast iron or steel cooking pot into a tar/charcoal maker. Drill a hole in the bottom, this allows tar to runoff. It helps if this is off to the side of the bottom, so a fire can be built around the rest of the pot.

Fill the pot with freshly cut pine, pack as many chips and pieces in as you can. Now put the lid on, adding earth or clay round the rim to help keep it sealed. Have your pot on a slightly raised platform, with a small cal inder the hole in the bottom to collect tar.

Light a fire under and around the rest of the pot. The wood will turn to charcoal which can be collected later, and you will also collect pine resin tar which has waterproofing and sticking properties, as well as being a good fuel by itself for torches and such.

>> Son, I think if such things existed I would have heard of them

truly chuckleworthy

>>359450
Do it with a paint can or similar and put it inside another, larger container to collect the tar before you start cooking it.
Birch also works well for this and can be used as liquid smoke for seasoning food.

Isn't birch tar AKA birch oil? The stuff they use for making birch beer?

Also this device sounds an awful lot like a wood gasifier. Is there any difference between a gasifier and charcoal maker?

Never heard of birch beer but birch wine is made from the sap you get from tapping the trees in late Feb/early March. It's clear and high in sugar. You can reduce it down to make syrup which is good in baking.
Birch tar is made by cooking birch bark or twigs/woodchips ina sealed environment and collecting the run off. It's brownish black like treacle when warm and pretty stiff when cold. Add powdered charcoal to it and it makes a pretty hard glue. A drop or two in a shot of whiskey is a nice addition to marinades.

I don't know much about gasifiers but I think it's a similar method. You're just harnessing the gases released by cooking the wood rather than letting them escape to the atmosphere.

He's not trolling, every part of the cattail is edible. The top is edible while it is younger, before it becomes white and fluffy inside.

>>360942
Also burning a cattail will produce a stench that will not come out of clothing.

while it's all well and good for people who know what they are doing to get mushies ( which are awesome) it's pretty dangerous for the average joe to do. Mushrooms are next level poisonous, if you get the wrong type.
