looks pretty and falkniven have excellent quality, but too bulky/heavy for me.

ideally, you want a 2.5-3.2mm thick blade, not 4.5mm, even though a convex grind does a pretty good job. Also, quite pricy. DESU though, if you are going to spend that kind of money on a classy looking fixed blade, look here:

Usually, I'd be pushing lt wright, but damn, Joe makes some fine blades (and is an all round nice guy).

Looks a lot like the old western L66, which is still the all around best knife I have ever owned (and cheaper than that falkniven)

Haven't came to this board in almost 8 months and it's still a consumerist circle jerk with no real /out/ threads.

Will a metal detector pick it up?

I would doubt it - the iron isn't very concentrated (Fe2O3)

You so fucking lie.

Nice troll bait thread, let's see how this plays out?

Sure you did, little guy. Sure you did.

>>962807
Not a /k/ guy, but what .22 did you carry? Did it meet your expectations? What kind of ammo? Did you get enough to eat hunting and fishing?

A few mixed reviews on Amazon but I said fug it.

Ooooh, Mr money bags. Seriously though, I'm jelly. I keep an eye on Craig's list for arcteryx stuff. All I have is a waist bag, a mid layer fleece/polyester hoodie, a quarter zip pullover, and a few shirts. Paid maybe $100 total for all of it.

Also went with the chink sharkskin knock-off tad ranger jacket. $40 and works pretty well as a softshell (used it + cotton hoodie over winter, including days when it was -35° with windchill)

My last get was a MEC softshell. No pics cause I'm lazy. Bought 2nd hand, cause kecs current stuff is mostly Vietnamese made junk. One I got was made in Canada.

some people do .22 I guess a .223 would not be overkill.
what method will you use?
I've seen baited hooks, where it's pretty much point blank to the back of the head.
Maybe something with a standoff device. a muzzle device thingy in a rifle.
I've been wanting to go in texas for a while but idk where to start. txpw is kind of hard to navigate.

>Gator hunting tomorrow
Bull fucking shit. Gator tags are extremely hard to get. Anybody who can actually get tags for gators already has a gun for hunting.

Hey!! What about me!!

or are you not intending to take a dump when innawoods?

I suppose that you could use the super glue, sticky pad, reference books or other vital piece of equipment to wipe your ass.

No, man up.

>>961699
55F or higher = black flies and mosquitoes. Not even Alaska is safe.

>>961703
fucking hell. can we wipe these bastards out already? from what i've read, the animals that eat these don't rely solely on them, and GMO skeeters that can't reproduce are being used to wipe out malaria.

I started bouldering last autum and been indoors only. I can't wait to get outside and try climbing bouldering in the alps.

I have no specific goal, but one of my plans is spending a weekend at the Benediktenwand (pic related)

Killer weekend at rocktown GA.

working on a local V7 roof, the part I used to walk through is impossible for big body me, and the old crux is easy...would be nice to go hit up my V9 project at the Apache holy grounds, super sexy iron cross foot match

In the USA you have to register your hives. The best course of action is to look up your local bee keeper's association or like club. They are usually extremely helpful and can give/sell you second hand equipment.

>over 600 beekeepers in your area
http://www.alabamabeekeepers.com/

I think your location is just fine for bee keeping.

>>958249
I would suggest against getting a Flow to start. It's too expensive and if things don't go as you would like you're going to be out a lot more money than if you just went with cheaper conventional methods and then incorporated a Flow later when you were ready to expand.

I built my own boxes and let the bees make most of the comb. They do make "starter comb" that the bees can build on, which I cut into 1 to 2 inch strips and attached to the top of the frames to help get the bees started in the right direction.

As far as getting started in your area, there are often groups/clubs that meet every so often that you can go to and talk to people who have already established colonies and see what works for them and most people in the beekeeping community are more than willing to help new people out with advice and equipment.

>>958249
I have nothing to add to the convo, but as someone on the Gulf Coast in Alabama I wanted to say what up. I'm on the Eastern Shore side of Mobile Bay

so far on my baofengs I just get constant weather reports. If you find some other value (besides 2 way communication between friends) I'd be interested.
>Baofeng meme..What does /out/ use
But you're asking if there's a better radio?

>>955955
I just bought one for work because they shit all over most basic 80 channel UHF radios that cost twice the price and I cannot justify spending $250+ on a decent GME or Uniden radio like most of my coworkers do. There's a whole bunch of neat stuff you can access via CHIRP but I'm new to this so need to research. One thing I found neat (for me at least) is the ability to listen to the FM radio on it while still being able to talk and receive, great for when you are working by yourself. Of course there are better radios, but more than likely not feature wise for the price.

>>955940
>What does /out/ use for radios when outdoors?
BaoMeme UV-5R V2+
I use it for comms between friends when riding the dirtbikes, the FM radio when innawoods with the dogs, a police scanner when I'm home, NOAA during severe weather events, and the beacon light when walking my dogs at night. I love it!
