Bruh, just git a gud ferro rod. You can start fires and sharpen you're blade at the same time!

Are those mora's drop poinrs; How are straight back blades for batoning, skinning etc?

Yea, sure.

That's the drafting set with the compasses?

I guess not as strange as anon who found the clown nose deep innawoods.

Too bad nobody buys porn mags anymore because that was always the best back in the day when you would stumble upon some guy's porn stash that got dumped before his wife found it.

>>1004911
All abandonded and none worth stealing. I feel insulted you'd imply I was a thief. Good day to you, sir.

>>1004916
You are correct, that is the drafting set.

What else is to be expected from a zero content human?

I've got all kinds of content. Living out of a car for 2 years now. Any questions, ask away

>>1021184
Isn't your entire state sweet, foggy, huge forests? Isn't your entire state pretty much an /out/ backyard with a couple cities for pot smokers?

Lived in oregon for awhile and that sums it up perfectly.

>>1020194
dont live near big cities or tourist traps?

God damn youre a faggot, so are they but still you are a cocksucker

>>1020194
First of all, you are a massive faggot and probably just jealous of the hen other kids for having mommies who will go to REI with them.

To explain for the other people in the thread, though, REI is like other sporting goods stores that have indoor amusement parks. With its rock climbing wall REI is used by young mothers as a sort of daycare for their kids. Never go into a Scheels if you have one in your state. It's the same sort of thing; the one local to me has a fucking Ferris wheel inside it. It has nothing to do with sporting goods and everything to do with the "other shit" inside the store.

They're warm but bulky. Good for the cold and wet when a normal jacket would get soaked through and the insulation would collapse.

I am a fan.

MOD PCS smock (pertex and light fleece) for warmer weather.

Montane Extreme smock (pertex and pile) for colder weather.

I love the system. Completely windproof when zipped up, but easy to vent with side, pit, pocket and neck zips. Breathable but rapid drying.

I wore my PCS smock up Ben Nevis, down to 0c plus windchill, just over a merino base, and was happy as long as I kept moving.

It's not a layer that you take off.

The advice about wearing against your skin is golden. It maximises the wicking and the venting and thus increases the useable temp range.

I carry a poncho low land to layer when it REALLY buckets down,, and have been thinking about adding a lightweight hardshell to wear over it in the high country, but desu if you don't mind temporary wet/dampness it's not necessary.

Theres' not much love for P&P system here on /out/ because about 3/4 of the board don't go inna

I once found a geocache. There were plastic toys and coins inside this nice ammo can. I stole the can and buried the junk under some rocks

>>1015778
Geocaching would be cool if cool stuff were in it, but it's like the real world equivalent of opening a random chest in an RPG and finding a needle, 2 coins and some gears.

A lot

It depends on time of year and day plus how long and difficult your trip will be. You are going to sweat more than you ever thought you could. Make sure you replenish lost salt and get potassium

>>1021221
In the beginning I'm probably just gonna do a 2 day there and back either this spring but definitely will be attempting again in the summer.

Hadn't thought about salt replenishment though. Possibly will bring some beef jerky to snack on, one of my favorite hiking foods.

I wanna say bait. This time of year where I'm at you need five gallons a day if you're walking long distance and since you say two days you're gonna definitely need those five gallons

Maybe
What do you want them for?

Private property.

When you reach the age of 20, you'll realize that you can't really ever be a true hermit in the modern world, and when you reach the age of 26, you'll realize that you don't want to be one anyway. Best you can hope for is to buy some property with good coverage from your neighbors by means of hills or woods, set up a cabin or trailer on that, and live minimally, potentially as a tradesman doing jobs from home.

poke frowny faces in all the leaves on the ground at a popular campground.

its one of those things the next group might not really notice but when one of them do its pretty much the scariest thing i can think of, especially if the campground is remote

This is the stuff I am taking. I decided on a small 40 liter pack. I know that is small as fuck for a 30 day hike but I will be storing water, food, emt and small stuff on molle patches on the outside.

I don't plan on taking a GPS because the trail is very obvious and there are signs everywhere. I am taking my phone to call home every couple of days so if I really can't find the way I can use Google maps.

Like I mentioned in the OP I am a pretty fat dude and one of the main reasons I am doing this trip is to lose some weight. I don't plan on eating more than 3000 calories a day depending on how much I walk. Every other day I pas a small town where I should be able to stock up on some food.

Just to throw it out there, because I know questions are coming. I weigh 235 lbs (107 kg) and my condition is pretty bad. Some parts won't be easy, that's for sure. Atleast I have a full month to make it.

Just sharing a couple of sights on the trail to hopefully inspire some other Eurofags to do it. It's a very unknown trail but it looks very good and all the reviews are amazing.
