When you go /out/ do you prefer a simple analog watch or a digital watch with a lot of features (stopwatch, barometer, etc.)
Also watch general, this is my every day beater. Going to put a leather strap on it soon.
Simple analog. I was thinking about dyeing the straps black since the green has faded.
>>950039
Analog watch, NATO strap. A rotating bezel is all the stopwatch I need for /out/ stuff.
Everyone here likes to be outside, but what exactly have you done to actively to preserve nature and the environment?
I regulary collect trash if I come by it, but of course it would be much better if I would not find any at all. I also helped planting trees for my local forester and from time to time I just bury some more exotic bushes and trees on the roadside.
(Note that "exotic" in this context only means I use those, that are not used as cash crops for the lack of a better word. They are not neophytes)

Controlling invaisive species!

It's fine if you don't want to do anything, but at least don't actively destroy just to be contrarian.
I can understand that my post might sound up tight assholey, but that might be because english is not my first language, so I might sound over self righteous. Sorry for that.
>>942907
Don't apologize. You're right and he's the asshole.
What water bottles do you peeps use? Is stainless steel the way to go?
>>938395

I don't do any real hardcore /out/ing so I don't really need the most durable gear

What exactly are the perimeters OP?
Anyway here's my thrown together long term self reliant build.
Can I waterproof cotton with pure beeswax?
I looked around on google and everybody says to mix wax with other shit. Would I be able to just rub a brick of beeswax on the cloth and melt it(?) And it would be good, or would it flake and crack or something?
Prolly gonna lose some insulating properties with that magic trick.
You're gonna be a giant hippie candle.
Why don't you try it on a small piece of cloth with a small peace of wax?
This summer I will be work as an intern for Utah Game and Fish in Vernal Utah. I was wondering if /out/ could help me find things to do on my free time while I'm there.
>>954207
That's great man! You've got your foot in the door. I passed up my chance with USFS right after college. Didn't want to move cause wife had 6 figure phamrep job. I don't regret being married; but I do feel like I sold out. What was your major, or do you even have to have a degree for that there?
>>954207
>Vernal
I hear meth is pretty great.
Know a bunch of guys that lived there (and evanston, rangely, rock springs), there's a reason they don't live there anymore.
>>954225
I'm a fisheries major but I'm just accepting a job internship there for the summer.
What is the best tarp for camping? It's only use will be for shade
>>954003
How does that even work? I thought your belt line was supposed to be under your gut. Her pants are basically around her belly button there, right?
>stop stare-raping me
That's not why we are staring.
>>954013
The worst part is these hose beasts actually say that shit, in a real world version of lumpy space voice.
>>954003
if youre only using if for shade then just get the cheapest tarp you can find at wal-mart. you didnt need to ask /out/ this question...
First time leading a group of friends (4-8 people) into the woods for a few days. We're hiking through some national parks in Utah and camping in state forests.
For the most part none of them have any extensive knowledge of the outdoors. What is the best way to set up a campsite and take care of this many people?
Also any general tips/stories about leading a group on a camping trip.
>>951858
>beer
everything else sorts itself out
Basic pack in pack out rules.
Establish where to shit and or piss in relation to the camp and streams.
Everything else will sort itself out as aforementioned

Poorfag /out/ist here, /out/ what do you think about Mora Robust? I watched a video from DBK. Is it that good?
your knife should be the first thing you splurge on
>>943257
Its a meme knife
>>943257
should be good but the basic companion is way more robustly built than you need.
I often run but I have a hard time to keep track of my progress. I am torn between buying a Garmin 230 or a 920xt.
Advice?
I have a 910XT, it's fine. Get the soft chest strap if you track your heart rate.
do you not have a smartphone? if so, just by an arm strap and download a free app that utilizes the built in accelerometer. If you don't have a smartphone....why the fuck not? I use the nike+ app for all my runs. 20 dollar arm strap + iphone bro.
>>954411
Yeah but it's clumsy and I can't watch all the info I need while running, especially for my pace
So are portable solar panels a meme or what? Are the panels that are small enough to fold up into a bag any good or do you need to go big with the panels before the generate enough power?
>>949874
You are doing something wrong, if you are carrying solar panels around.
>>949876
>4U
Judgemental asshole speaks for all.
No meme. I use to store in my main battery and charge from that after dark.
I have panels the size in OPs image.
I use it with an ankor battery.
Its pretty good

Last summer a guy was falling an oak, it was a big oak with low big branches which he didn't cut.
The wind started blowing and the oak sit on his bar while making the backcut so he sent his son to get another chainsaw to free the saw.
While he was waiting for the son the wind suddenly changed direction and the tree began falling, while it was falling it surprised the faller and grabbed him by the shoulder throwing him on the ground and he hit his head on the stump but in the meanwhile the tree fell on its branches, springed up and then came back down crushing the guy's head on the stump
Couple years ago a guy was falling a large beech in the snow and he couldn't see under the snow that its branches were twined with a pear there nearby, which was rotten. As the beech began falling it pulled on the rotten pear and it fell down on the guy's head killing him instantly
