What's a good bow for shooting small animals and typical innawoods lollygagging
Martin makes a nice #45 recurve. I paid +-$225 6 years ago. I can get the model # after work if you need it, but I'm sure you can find 'em.
Bear makes several models 50# and up, but most are at least $300. Their Patriot longbow @#60 is my favorite of theirs that I own.
PSE used to sell a recurve in the #50-#60 range that was about $150. The pull stacks pretty bad, but it's useable.
If you're serious about this, learn to make your own arrows from shafts stock. If you're talking squirrel, rabbits, and birds, you're gonna lose alot of arrows, even if you hit what you intend to.

Bear Archery Warrior 3 is your best bet for small game and messing about. Amazon has them for $90 USD and they come with a lot of components for that price. My son kills squirrels with his steady.

Nevermind about the Martin. Guess I got it while the getting was good. Checked and they're $600 now.
Hey /out/ looking for a lightweight solo tent, currently got my eye on a six moons lunar solo, want something around the 6-700g mark, and that uses trekking pole(s). Cuben seems too expensive. Any recommendations?
$180 for that? Just use a fucken tarp ffs.
>>960883
Then I've got to have a bivy as well, and my bag won't be in the tent and will still get wet
Get a bivy and a small tarp dude. Cheap and just as lightweight.
Any /out/ trippers?

DMT is the only trip that is worth it because there isn't a bunch of bullshit that comes along with it.
>tfw all the regular trees are now Christmas trees all lit up and beautiful for 15min
Okay I live in the middle of Alberta, and it gets really cold. At least -20° to -30° Celsius.
Despite this fact what are some good winter camping tips, so I don't freeze myself frozen solid.
I was part of a failed winter camping adventure in Kananaskis, so I can give you a bit of advice of what not to do.
>If you're not experienced in winter camping, don't go alone, and preferably go with someone who knows a good amount about it already.
We were all experienced campers and hikers and we were in over our heads
>Check the weather report and prepare for the worst
We got caught in an unexpected snowstorm and temps dropped 15 or so degrees even though we did check.
>Leave early in the day if you're hiking in
The trails can be significantly worse than what you'd expect or are told.
>Bring water and high energy food
You'll burn a lot of calories in the cold and melting snow for water can get very old very quick.
>stay with your group and if things get hairy just know when to leave.
That's where my group really went wrong, we got over confident, got split up, and didn't acknowledge when it was time for us to go back because we were in real danger. The snowstorm was not on the weather report and we were not prepared for it, we should have turned back then, but we stubbornly decided that since we drove all the way out there we couldn't just abandon the trip.
Also just regular outdoorsmanship stuff like letting people know where you're going, how long you'll be gone, etc.

Thank very much, that's good advice.
>>965917
I honestly can't imagine being in snowstorm outside in a tent. Brrr. That just gives me chills thinking about it.
I'm hoping HPG get the Ute back in to stock soon (pic related). Any similar bags out there? I like the size, aesthetics (in b4 fag), and quality, particularly the straps and it's ability to compress a bit.
Also general backpack thread.
>>965708
Good thread, it's not like we have a backpack general with 150 replies going.
>>965714
pls no bully
Post your /out/ heroes, preferably real people.

How do you catch your food /out/?
I get a bunch of info graphics about hunting, trapping, and foraging and I look at them
and then I go the refrigerator and get some food
>>965406
I think that's the worst designed trigger I've ever seen.
>>965425
cool, got it from google, talk to them
Why don't you grow mushrooms /out/?
I've been foraging in my local woods for oyster and hen of the woods mushrooms for a couple of seasons. How do you grow a mushroom?
because i don't like to eat them
A very nice man in baja sur mexico just gave this herb to cure my horrible cough.
My cough is probably a bad cold but it could also be allergies.
I am to make a tea with this and drink it.
Will it kill me?
Anyone able to identify?
If its the source my allergies will i go into ana shock?
So many questions
>>965172
Take a leaf and rub it on your to see if you react.
Idk what it is tho.
>>965184
Damn, thats actually pretty good advice anon.
Thanks
>>965172
You'll probably be fine ingesting it as an herbal. Although, doing >>965184 may actually trigger an allergic reaction.
For myself, I can't get fresh mint leaves on me (crushed up and smeared) as it causes a reaction. Making it into a cup of herbal is just fine and there's no reaction.
I suggest taking it as prescribed. I don't know the name, but it looks familiar.

Have you seen this flag?
New thread here

Found the flag. If any of you lads wanna be e-famous and memespout to thousands of people, now's the chance.
Great weather for march 8th, what you say?
[spoiler]its like January all over again, except it isn't -20 outside but +1 -_-
>>964793
Snowing like a motherfucker here in washington state.
>>964793
That looks normal, that is how March should look.
Another 70 degree day again. 25 above average.
Hiking with scoliosis.
I have a mild S-curved spine and fine my neck and shoulders, middle back and lower back getting really tight/sore when I start to push it.
Anyone have any tips for how to carry rucksack, alleviate pain etc?
I did 19km the other day in snowy conditions and did fine except I started to feel the strain when I reached dry land and my spine had to absorb solid ground again on the descent.

Try not to walk on your heels

>>964172
I'm serious.
Try to walk like pic related
Just driving home
just standing outside
Just having a wank
Sorry no pics though

What about a gif or WebM?
I love the outdoors, but I'm not realistically going to be working anywhere other than an office as an engineer.
Most jobs outdoors are manual labor or skilled trades, what about more technical work?
Are there any truly /out/ STEM careers?
I'm in Uni for mechanical engineering, and I'm getting terrified that my life is going to become 9-5 at a desk and ~3 weekend camping trips a year until I die of obesity and bad posture
Depending on the direction you take it, Forestry can be a pretty technical career
>>963039
If you've already got all the math, physics and computer stuff down, you could easily switch to another major with more /out/ possibilities. What's an extra 28-40 semester hours when you've got the rest of your life ahead of you?
>>963039
Owning a land surveying company could definitely put you in the /out/ and the dough.
