Well my 4t degee sleeping bag fit right in. In a compression sack. You could probably fit a real down bag in here. But no walmart brand bags. There are 2 hanging loops on the bottom but i am thinking my pad goes there.

I haven't de c decided if i am going tk take a full tent or a tarp. The main bad thing i see is no tent pole straps. But i could just strap them sideways woth my pad. Or whatever i use the under loops for.

It'll probably fall apart faster. I'd say get a decent one for $60 and have it last 15 years instead of buying a new $20 bag every other year

Shill your tv show someplace else, asshole

Nice, I really like the BK line, I have a BK-15 (pic related) I think the BK-2 is just a little stocky for my tastes, but it's pretty much unbreakable unless you are really trying. btw the Micarta handles are worth it, once they break in and wear down a bit they feel great.

Of course a lot of people here are going to complain about it being "way too heavy".

As for sharpening, how long we talking about camping? Unless you are like hiking for weeks, you really don't need to bring a sharpener with you, just a nice sharp edge to start.

I'm a sharpening junkie, so I use a Wicked Edge for normal knives, and I have other set ups for other things.

I would recommend the Spyderco Sharpmaker for starts, it's easy to learn, and very versatile, I still use mine with my Wicked Edge for serrations. It's not great for moving a lot of material though, it's strength is in maintaining a edge. If the knife is really dull or you need to re profile, you may want to get some oil stones and practice with those for the rough work.

I'll look into those sharpeners. I've never had any knives worth investing in sharpeners. Me and my gf are going on a 3 day hike in mountains and I'm going to be taking one solo this year. Also going to use the BK for my hunting and fishing. Just planning on getting more active outdoors in general now.

>>951018
Honestly learn to use a whetstone in my opinion. Not only then can you sharpen your outdoors knifes you'll be able to sharpen every one you own. You'll need to buy at least 2 (one medium and one fine grit) and watch some videos on how to sharpen with them. Not too difficult to learn and it's super satisfying being able to bring any knife you own to razor sharp.

Bears raid campsites

>>949952
Bears are irrelevant. You kiddos just think that everything should be handed to you, even to the point of stealing from honest, hardworking supporters of society.

Why don't you get a van and gym membership so you can shower like me?

>>936875
Summer come faster plz.

If you live in the outdoors and forage/hunt for food you're a survivalist/outdoorsman.

If you move around and don't have a permanent living place you're a traveler/tourist.

If you live in a fucking tent/dumpster/box in a city you are a homeless fucking bum vagrant trash and probably mentally ill. Get help.

Honestly wanna take my first trip outdoors overnight to clear my head. Besides food I wanna build my own shelter and be comfortable. I'm not a hard core prepper or anything but I would love to learn how to be comfortable should need arise.

>>958064
Depends on your desert. Here in the American Southwest I go coyote/FDE where there are big gaps between flora(cactus,sage,juniper), but lean towards woodland (w/ tan trousers) for denser environments.

>>958064
For being seen?
Reflective, (IR is better), blaze orange, neon green.

>>958113
Yea, I meant for being seen in a search and rescue situation.

Doesn't /out/ wear shades?

Go to the fucking store and buy some you fucking retard!

Why the fuck you you need your hand held bitch?

DOn't spend a big chuck on that on one pair. Instead get some Bomber's. I have a few Stinkbomb's and Mega Bombs I think. They float, which is great cause my /out/ is kayaking and boating and fishing.

c or f?

either way, sleeping bag + pad + clothing is how you keep warm, tent enters into it very little. "4 season" tents are primarily differentiated by being strong enough to not collapse under snow accumulation or strong wind, not extra insulation.

>tent enters into it very little
It protects from the wind, thus helps to keep the temperature inside higher.

yes, but proportionally to the warmth provided by sleeping bag + pad + clothing it is very little. which is why i said very little, and not not at all.

And before your very eyes

What place is this so I can read up in it?
