Get refillable canisters

Also just make fires

Alternatively you could realize the most efficient food for camping requires no cooking or can be rehydrated with cold water.

Float your canisters in a bowl of water, that'll tell you how much is left in each one. Set aside your mostly empty cans and use them for 1-nighters, car camping or a hot lunch on a long day hike.

Or get a white gas stove like a whisperlite or Coleman Sportster. Or an alcohol stove.

Tablet stoves are bottom tier. Their output is weak, the tablets stink and they leave a nasty residue on your pots. If I had to choose between a tablet stove and cold food, I'd go cold food

FEMA has free online independent study courses that anyone can take (and be certified in). These courses are also worth college credit and cover a wide variety of /k/ related scenarios including radiological disasters as per OP's pic.

Gas powered, two stroke margarita blender for tailgating, you self-righteous fuck.

Now go turn up your AC.

>>1008247
I think you're missing the point...

I don't want to make a shit load of noise, or smell like a weed whacker.

Also, why would I have a blender when going /out/?
And how does solar make one self-righteous? I'm really not picking up what you're dropping man...

>>1008206
>>>/diy/ is really the correct board for this. After all, anything solar related will be outside so everyone using it will have that experience. But if you want to DIY a setup that is different and there's tons of people on /diy/ that do it.

I've been studying solar for so long I dream about it. If you really want to make a DIY system, I suggest doing it from scratch with second hand cells you can get on ebay for cheap. You'll need to solder them together and everything. There are lots of tutorials on youtube. As for a suitcase size 500watt system? You won't be able to hinge them together so they fit inside a suitcase. You can make each panel its own separate unit. Then merely plug them together. That way you can store them side-by-side in a suitcase and probably fit in 500watts worth of panels. It'll weigh a lot. Smaller wattage needs would fit into a suitcase size much easier and allow for hinges.

You will also need a battery array regardless. You need that buffer so that you don't kill the panels by trying to run high power items on them. Large motors like those in AC units have a massive inrush spike when they turn on which basically shorts out stuff like a solar panel and is extremely bad for the panels. Thus, you use a panel to solar charge controller to battery to inverter/converter to appliance.

Plant and edible identification in your local area.

Safe fire starting year round in your area.

Navigation/familiarity in your area.

Camping over nights then working to multiple nights /out/ in your area.

Once you've got that down, do it in somewhere /out/side your area.

You get better at all these things the more you do it. Your kit/pack will evolve for all situations the better equipped with experience you are.

there are none, just focus on what you like
it's 2017 you literally have an incomprehensible amount of information available at your fingertips.

>I'm not very competent with navigating by stars or sun, hunting or having many different type of knots on my tool box.
so then try taking a book out with you or read one and take notes on the stuff that stand out and bring the notes.


Anyone who tells you you need to know certain things to "master" being an "outist" when you are literally just trying to explore yourself and nature is egocentric. You will find your nirvana only by following your own path. People who try to impress their thoughts on you (like pack out trash) are narcissists or live in fear of people and society in general, ignore it. If you genuinely enjoy the outdoors you will find these things self evident.

For how much and what does it do?

>>1006257
>stop them from become fizzy
let them sit for a minute out of your pack before opening them
>recool them
camp near snow or a cold lake. pretty much the only options. better bet is bring a beer enjoyable warm.

i also recommend 16 oz cans and 7.0+ abv.

i stopped brining beer on hikes (the weight/reward ratio was off) but a few things i have learned-- dont buy the beer cold- buy warm beer. someone else can probably explain it but beer gets funky when its cold then warms then gets cold again. for me just putting them in a cooler and leaving some rope on the shore to pull them up worked pretty well for cooling them. but honestly sipping whiskey (which i don't even really like that much not camping) tastes amazing when /out/ and you get a lot more bang for your buck.

not enough light

it stretched out and became leggy

also too much water possibly.

very common with fucking everyone who wants to start seeds inside on a window sill without enough light. in all honesty get a grow light or a southern facing open sun room or attached green house if you want to start seeds inside that aren't retarded-leggy and long and almost dead

please listen to me i run a plant nursery and sell plants and seeds for a living

>>1006048

hey how'd you fall into that line of work? I'm sick of my sales job and I want to do something in ag, either greenhouse work or horticulture.

>>1006058
don't do it please

the pay is absolute shit, the schedule and hours are as bad as it gets, you deal with the public, it is basically sales, you learn to hate plants and become cold and empty inside

>>1005010
yes but i have none at the moment.
gf is much better artist than i of course.
