A map and compass so that you know for sure which way to hike to salvation once you run out of noodles and start to starve.

>>947855
Oh yeah forgot to mention, definitely have a map and compass lol.

Boil the hell out of everything, you don't want to have worms sneaking around in your intestinals.

It deepens upon the calibre.

The Surge would be for every day carry (I dont mind the weight) and the SRK would just be used occasionally when camping / hunting / killing a chicken at my mother-in-laws house

Multitool bro.
It's better!

Thanks, I was leaning towards the MT. I bought a Swisstool RS off Amazon on Monday and it didn't lock up, so I exchanged it. Got a replacement one on today, same problem, sent it back. Decided to look around at other options, but I think the Surge was always in my future...

Thank you for that!

>>949133
Also, does this topic constitute as "outdoors" ?

>>949135
Some fags think Urbex is /out/, I don't.

But thanks for asking.

>>949146
Yes it counts plz read the sticky newfriend.

Traps, snares, hunting, fishing, foraging...

Care to be more specific?

Just to be nice, I'll give you a freebie. No picture, I'm on my phone. The Squirrel Pole.

Get yourself a long branch or small sapling. Lean it up against a large tree where you have seen squirrels (oak trees most likely). About a 45 degree angle. Set your snares along the pole, about every 8" should do.

Wait. Check your pole every 8-12 hours. If you did it even remotely correct, you should have one. If you did everything right, and Mr. Coyote hasn't gotten to it first, you should have 3-4. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you might get a small coon or possum.

Low effort design makes it worth the nutrition you get out of a tree rat or two, and a coon or possum would actually be a net positive.

>>949110
Many thanks

Learn your local greenery, you will find more plant food then any other.

>>949110
Not op but any live snare traps? My state has weird trapping laws.

There's no mortar being used in either the fire ring nor the patio. Probably just rock dust/mud between the stones in the ground. Look carefully at the cobbles -- see how each one has at least one point of contact with every rock surrounding it? That's what you'll need to do to keep it all falling apart over time. It's actually harder than a motherfucker.
Seems like logs are a better solution for seating, but you could build a drystone wall to sit on if you had your heart set on it.
Just watch a few drystone masonry videos on youtube.
As for your last question, depends on the type of rock in your area. If it's granite, odds are good you can find a lot of nice slabs like in that pic.

Holy shit anon this is exactly what i was looking for, thanks a bunch for the advice

I live in Colorado (pic related) im not sure if the rocks are granite, im a noob when it comes to the geology

>>948910
Fuck me, careful where you strike a match in that area, anon.

Are they breaking any laws?

If not the problem is with the state regs and limits.

>>948088
A lot of asians who fish don't give a fuck about bag limits. Same with mexicans. Seems to be a 3rd world thing...

>inb4 china isn't third world.
If your country cannot supply clean fresh water to at least 90% of its population. Its third world.

Yeah they are in the country illegaly, they are illegally harvesting and they are illegally exporting

The first decision to make is compound vs trad. Trad will be cheaper initially but it'll take much longer to reach a hunting standard of accuracy and consistency. Compound will conversely cost more but be easier to reach standard and (provided you're good enough) will let you hunt at longer ranges.

If you're shooting trad and hunting deer you're more or less limited to fixed two-blade heads. Compound gives you a few more options (mechanicals, hybrids, fixed 3- and 4-blade heads) - all of them work and are basically trade offs in cutting diameter, penetration and ease of tuning for flight against one another.

Birds and small game can be shot with broadheads, but there're a range of small game heads and blunts out there designed to kill by transferring energy (rather than cutting) and to get snarled up in grass/turf rather than getting lost on a pass-through or a miss.

Shooting fish needs a bowfishing rig - a fibreglass arrow with a harpoon point with a line spooling off a reel that attaches at the bow's stabiliser bushing.

Arrow choice will depend on trad vs compound. Carbons are great for either. Conventional wisdom is that for trad hunting you want to build an arrow weighing 10-12 grains per pound of draw weight (some shoot up to 15gpp) and for compound anywhere 5-10gpp that achieve the desired combination of speed and momentum (7gpp is pretty common).

>>944779

If you go compound, I'd get a 60# peak weight compound with an IBO of 320+ fps, get it set up at a pro shop and get it tuned to shoot standard diameter carbon weighing 400-440 grains. The simplest set-up would be a whisker biscuit, a fixed multi-pin sight (4 or 5) and your choice of 8" stabiliser.

As to specific bow, pick is going to be informed by what you like and what you can afford. Being a newer model and more expensive in compound bows does tend to translate to performance.

>>944779
what is the difference between a compound and a recurve bow? After searching for a bit, I thought about getting this one: https://www.amazon.com/Samick-Sage-Takedown-Recurve-Bow/dp/B00IRBZPTU/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

Call your representatives and put pressure on them.

Used to go camping with girlfriend in the mountains north of town during summer. If the road was clear, we'd get out and bang on the hood of the car..in the road..on a fence..whatever was there.
that was like summer of 2002...fast forward to now and daughter is in 8th grade...MFW

>>941927
is she single?

>>941927
mfw when my gf doesn't like innawoods but is perfect in every other way.
At least I got her to agree to go.

always thought it was a euro brand. but really good. love my infinity dry rope.

>>934353
You see them in the skiing and climbing communities. I've got a pair of side zip rain pants and an 8.7 rope from them I like a lot. Wife has a Mammut climbing harness she likes too.

Self Bump.

I had compassion for your poor me story, until you waited _5_ minutes to bump.

>>949120
Saw the thread was on the bottom of catalog and didn't want it to die out. But I realized now that I have filtered the most replied threads to show first and the less on bottom, so yeah, it was not on purpuse.

Carry on..

Malmö has fun city parts with lots of wild animals to watch. Don't get close tho, they are dangerous

I want to do kungsleden but it takes a month

>>946936
A kinda bad time to do that, it will still be wet and snowy in the /out/ parts of scandinavia, especially the fells. The best place would probably be the fyordiest parts of southern Norway, so look that up.
