Whats your opinion of breeding oxen for draft power over Clydesdale horses?

Also whats the best tasting pig breed with the largest litters? Large whites?

you could probably manage it if you have a shitfuckton of pockets and some serious dosh to throw at a sleep system that packs down small enough to fit.

My wallet, I can survive.

Coat converts to tent, sleeping bag, etc.

This generation is caught in its delusions of techno-utopianism and transhumanism. They believe nature is to be superseded by robots and that Earth's destiny is to become a world ecumene, a universal city where all the ecology is destroyed to make way for asphalt and concrete.

These 'people' then go out on internet forums and pretend to act how they think environmentalists act like in order to drive people away from environmentalist causes through Poe's Law. They believe that their virtual reality and their pleasure machines and their electronic waifus will make nature superfluous to all, therefore, nature is unnecessary to all.

I've been using sandbox wildernesses since Morrowind in order to escape being snowed in during shitty winters.

Morrowind
Oblivion
Skyrim
Firewatch
Arma II
The Long Dark (ironic I know)

However, the past 3 years there's not been any winters and I've not been playing those types of games. It was 75F today and I was out gardening and moving a truck load of manure. I drove with the windows down the entire time. Great day for being outdoors. Normally there's 4 feet of snow and -15F temps right now.

Most humans are all about efficiency and selfishness. This is a literal result of Jewish capitalist propaganda. Consume & Obey.

One more thing.

>muh gym & fitness tho

Fuck you. You aren't fit. You aren't shit. Do you think you stand a goddamn chance against people who live in smaller villages who literally run 30 miles for fun, barefoot? Who work like mules all day just to survive?

Also, what a fucking waste of time and money the gym is. What a counterproductive and counterintuitive way to be "fit". You waste most of your day working a sedentary, unfulfilling job, and then you pay someone money to undo the damage that the job just did to your body by not being active? What the actual fuck. Why not just go work on a fucking farm and learn how to grow your own food if you aren't actually just lazy and a coward? This is why the fitness/wildernessy trend is such bullshit. I hope it dies soon or evolves into actual change. Downscaling. Less lazyness. More manual labor. Smaller, tighter-knit communities. We don't have to get rid of technology or drive fucking electric cars. Just change shit. Jesus.

Dude, I think you summed it up. I'm pretty worried about the VR craze. Shit's going downhill fast.

none of them are terrible, but slo's probably the least best. though it does have the ocean, so if you like surfing, kayaking, or diving it gets a bump over denver. but it has shitty food and is going to be a social ghost town when school's not in session. you can get from sf to yosemite on public transportation if you don't have a car.

having spent time in the city and /out/ around all 4 i'd probably rank them
>sf
>seattle
>denver
>slo
but really those first 3 could be put in any order

>>956398
FWIW i'd be well outside of SF (sunnyvale) but I assume the public transit point still stands?

>>956401
yeah, though it may take an extra leg. google "yarts". fwiw sunnyvale is boring, but at least it's in proximity to fun places. no car in the bay area isn't ideal, but you can make it work.

>>956101
Skinwalkers.

Like the one standing behind that guy in the distance.

>>956182
I'll do a few on cryptids but the skinwalker meme isn't really a thing where I am. I could do videos on haunted places, ghosts, yowies or areas with ufo sightings.

Make sure you shill your cancerous videos here.

It'll wear off eventually, but it'll last for a while.

I don't see this working too well
You might keep the skeeters off of your tarp by doing it, but you want to keep the skeeters off of you

>>955832
You will need to wrap yourself with it.

How is the foliage and the space between the trees over there?
For tips? Mark your hideout on your map.
Hide it with dead leaves and Moss. Never break off stuff to use it as camo. And use the environment, dont build to high.
Don't make an open fire, dig a fire pit and dont do it next to your hideout.

Honestly, there is nothing more fun than running around the woods with a sword... It's not practical though, at lest for bushcrafting. I normally have a swordchete on me though just for the fun of it. Currently I have a Cold Steel Cutlass Machete and a Cold Steel Chines War Sword Machete.

I just bought one of these yesterday, I'll post about it when I get it. It's a Schrade Brush Sword, I'm excited because it's more sword and machete. Also looking into getting the Condor Naval Cutlass and Hanwei Banshee at some point, they are pretty much actual swords that could be used at some effect on brush.

I think what he does is really impressive. Not anything impossible, but probably difficult to do without a lot of time and training.

>inb4 salty /out/ists

>>956035
He makes some cool youtube videos. Sitting around in the woods making stuff is what some people like to do outside. I prefer to hike, climb, and paddle. Way more impressed by people like Andrew Skurka and Heather Anderson.

>getting away from civilization
>building civilization from the beginning of time onward
Totally different concepts. He's just a few videos away from building a Walmart and destroying a small local economy that he built a few videos prior.

What's your height, weight, and age?

If you're good at packing and choosing foods, you can get around 9 days in 10 pounds of food.

You should be more worried about water, you will never be able to carry more than 3-4 days.

My bad I was talkin to the QT Venezuelan grill for like half an hour while she was feeding me experimental espresso drinks.

Dem crazy eyes
Still no toofgirl though

alright

looking to buy a surf rod , for use with lures mostly
topwater plugs, poppers as well as other jerkbaits, and bucktails
but may also use it for soaking bait
stripers bluefish and soaking baits for small sharks, skates etc

id like something 9 ft , ( i could do 8 or 10 ft as well but ideally 9 ft)
id like a pretty quick action
most lures id be throwing will be 1-3 ounces with the occational heavier or lighter lure probably down to 1/2 an ounce or up to ounces
though i will probably get a second lighter rod for the lighter stuff

also probably going to buy a new reel, very well may end up with a spinfisher 6500
unless i get other suggestions on great reels

if i can keep the price under $200 that would be good

If they don't feel like they're gonna work after 10 miles, I stand in a warm bath with them, and wear them around the yard and house till they dry. If this doesn't work, I try to take them back (not being comfortable and making blisters is a manufacturing defect).

If none of that works, I give them away, make them into slides, or salvage the leather.

Take them back. You should have done that after the first hike. Geez just get some trail runners people do the AT in autism shoes

Try trail runners. I haven't had any feet issues since switching

I was climbing around in the Tinajas Atlas mountains and found a piece of Native pottery. It wasn't much but it was cool to see and think about the history. I just left it there.

Hooked into an Abu Garcia rod and reel combo fishing off of Ship Island. Best catch of the day. It was a shark convention. The reel was starting to corrode, but I disassembled it, lubed and smoothed things out.

I've found at least a half dozen knives over the years, but I've lost nearly as many. Profit???

>could easily derail into shit youve lost while /out/ thread

no gear unfortunately, just lots of dental work. Need it done so I can live on a trail for 6 months without a toothache

Paying down debt so I can take more time off.

Its a fleece type that you often see in the thicker range of fleece's. I dont know the specific term for it but from Danish we roughly call it fiber-fur
