SOL's emergency bivvy is garbage. It will not only reflect the fire's heat AWAY from you, but it doesn't breathe, so you'll wake up drenched. Using their Escape bivvy will fix the condensation issue, but you'll still have some problems with reflectivity.

A much better solution, especially since you're not planning on carrying a ground pad, would be to build a trench fire as soon as you know you'll be stuck, bury it when you're ready to crash out and just sleep directly on top of that, using the poncho as a groundcloth and the blanket as a blanket or a low A-frame. The ground will stay warm all night.

Or do pic related and not worry about having to set anything up.

A 2L Camekbak, dirtybag+filter, PVC fishing spindle+tackle, 2K calories worth of MRE PB and a bedroll consisting of CCF pad, SOL Escape bivvy, Thermolite Extreme liner and a cut of PVC tarp as a ground pad. Basically, enough gear to last you for months if you can fish and forage.

I have a roll-top Sprite bottle burner. It's sturdy enough to stand on and simpler in design than most of the rest. I'm not a huge fan of the fact that the flames are mostly around the outside though, and I'd never use anything like OP's pic that requires an additional stand. Probably the best design I've ever seen is by far the simplest, the SuperCat. SuperCat burns on the inside of the container, so it blocks wind, heats the center of your pot instead of the sides, while acting as it's own stand, is the lightest of any of the stoves. It also doesn't have any special mechanisms, so if it bends it can be bent back, and there's nothing to get clogged. Even with all of that in mind, most people won't use a SuperCat, because a 75 cent tin can with holes in it doesn't look cool enough for them.

Position yourself next to a riptide, all fish orient themselves according to currents, and a riptide is easy to spot, just look for the foam headed out to sea.

I like to use a sliding casting bubble for distance with a swivel tied 20 feet up the line as a stop to let the bait drop into the strike zone. Squid is usually my goto bait, though anchovies work too. Even mussels can be used with good results if you're by a rocky point.

>>940750
Wade out about chest deep cast as far as you can and then walk back to the beach and wait

>Targeting yellowtail tonight.
>surf fishing

Are you guy that made the other baja posts? I'm the guy that responded about spots in that thread.
Are you on the pacific side or the cortez side?

The main baitfish in baja is the sardina. find a bait that mimics the sardina. look for the local pangeros and buy a few baits from them. then try to match your lure selection to the baits you just bought. match the size and color, they both vary throughout the year. right now my guess is olive backs/brown backs, silver white belly.

I use a variety of soft swimbaits, krocs, deadly dicks, pencil poppers, needlefish, loud swimmers, cast-a-bubble and fly, badonkadonks, plastic grubs, soft jerkbaits, hard jerkbaits, bucktails, skip baits and waxwings in the surf in baja. those are my goto baits there.

I highly doubt you will catch a yellowtail
(jurel - seriola lalandi dorsalis) from the surf. try deeper water pinnacles & rises. yoyo, dropper loop baits and vertical jig them this time of the year. (from a panga)

sierra will eat most things shiny and moving fast. as will jacks, bonito, snappers, needlefish and ladyfish. Fish a heavy leader they arent shy.

roosterfish will eat poppers no problem.

toss lures over rocky points and boulder fields cabrilla will smash your lures. button your drag and try to haul them in before they cut you off in the rocks. they are really fun to catch and eat. also always look for structure. buy a pound of market shrimp and use for bait and tipping lures.

what side are you on? what area are you at in bc? fish the golden hours. have fun bro!
I'll be down there for the month in march

Florida.

>who dat?

Ah, the sister from Gladiator. Check me?

Stay out unless you want to die.
If you do not stay out, treat it like spelunking. Three lights, homing chain, rescue beacon, partners, etc.

Ive done some mine engineering. These aren't a shaft straight to a big room full of Sinbad's treasure.
Think of a gravel pit. Oil stains, piles of toxic byproducts, scrap metal and cables as thick as your wrist, rotting corrugated metal pipe.,
The ones I've been in are just big enough to drive an off road dump truck though, and arranged like urban grid streets, spreading over a hundred square miles.

Not worth the risk. Nothing romantic about it.

First time? Above is all you need for several days, you'll be fine.

>fight nature

lol. Nature is not an entity. It doesn't give a shit if you are on top of a mountain or not. You can't 'conquer' it. Are you really going to take a week long hike as your first outing? Assuming this isn't just bait, you have a lot to learn.

>>940061
Taken a few trips out before, but never to this extent.

Nature may not care, but I do. Tired of the city and being at home, just want the outdoors as far away from the sprawl as possible.

>>939956
4lbs. Okay, now what?

>>939961
Now we hike 16 hours every day, blowing through camps where backpackers with heavy loads stop for the day because they're tired. They ask, hey join us, come camp with us. We're like lol no, we aren't tired because our packs are light, we have 35 more miles to easily pound out

>>939966
Oh, I see... You've never actually done this before.

I'm going fishing, see you later.

I can jerk off to completion unnoticed in almost any scenario

Absolutely I am.
The Etool has been essentially for long term wilderness survival, not to mention Standard Issue for every major conflict since before The Revolution

The ETool is great. A multi purpose, light weight tool that doesnt take up much space. Theyre durable, and do some pretty important shit. I like having a trowel sized digging tool to acompany my ETool.

Squat behind a large rock and release the floodgates

in the woods or if its a park I usually hold it till their restrooms unless its night time.

Look man I'm all for fighting the long nosed men that lurk in the shadows, but when it comes to medicine it simply is much more efficient to use pills. Obviously something manufactured to do a certain thing is going to be superior to something that just happens to have some of what you need. That said, I'm sure that plant does do what it's supposed to. And if you'd rather have weaker medicine than pay many shekels, it's not a bad idea.

>>939119
But don't you think the goal of the pharma industry is not to heal you but to make sure you stay ill so you keep using their product for the rest of your life?

>>939093
The question is, what is the active ingredient? Can you get it purified in a pill? Is there any evidence other than "gran says it works"? (To be fair, my gran swore by spiced whiskey for anything that ailed you. Then again, I think she had a drinking problem). A lot of traditional medicine doesn't do much more than a placebo (which can be rather effective. You'd be amazed at how much the placebo effect can impact the outcome of a disease). If scientists find that the stuff doesn't do better than sugar pills, they will usually write it off and move on.
Also, unless you are harvesting the stuff yourself, you are paying for it. More likely than not, they guys who are telling you the pharm industry are scamming you are the guys selling you dried tree bits at a ridiculous mark up. Its up to you who you want to believe, but pharm puts a bit more effort into trying to make something that works.

As for big pharma; yeah, you are going to run into quality issues here and there, but they really don't have to game the system to that extent. Curing you makes you live longer, which in turn, increases your chances of developing more miladies. Besides, there are always new cases developing each day. Scamming on things other than pain meds isn't shrewd.
