Anyway I'm going to pick Greg. He lives his life a loner and is from Canada. And like last year I predict no females will make it, and not being racist, but neither will the black guy.

And what kinda retard runs around on the wet ground with stumps and stuff carrying sharp tools.

i vote for the chick that was swimming naked. because naked ass.

Les Stroud had a tough time in Patagonia when Survivorman went there. Terrible weather, but I think he was a lot further south. damn near Antarctica.

the women seem a lot stronger this year in general skills.

after 3 seasons it's nice to hear people talking about PRESERVING their catch instead of living fish to fish.

Looks like we got our "I miss Barbara" guy out of the way early.

The forestry chick is a milf. 10/10 would do in the woods after 90 days of no bath.

You shouldn't be getting them, your shoes might not fit right or be tied right or you're wearing 2 socks or something.

Best you can do it drain it leaving the skin on, then cover it up with a blister pad or moleskin and try not to make it any worse. Uncover at night so it gets some air.

Or maybe you're not keeping your feet dry?

Didn't change my socks the whole day. Could this have done it?

Fjallraven are either water resistant or breathable, depending on if you used wax or not. The money is far better spent on softshell pants, rab or me or something. More water reistant, breathable, comfortable and lighter. You can prolly get two pairs for 300 dolaroos

Fjallraven pants are the most comfortable /out/ pants ive worn.
10/10 would recommend.

Their shorts are also super nice to wear during summer.

But they are very European in size and if you are a manlet i wouldnt reccomend.

If you are lucky like me and there is a fjallraven store nearby would reccomend you try them on first.

>>933402
Fuck off, softshells don't hold up to real use.
OP get a pair of fjällräven Barents Pro, and some trouser blousers to go with them. Literally best trousers you can get, and only run like 130€

I'm in alaska right now. I live in a very small village of about a hundred people in the middle of the state thats very far from the city, you have to take two planes to get here. I used to live in the largest city for a number of years in the south and I grew up in a small town of about 5000 people in the west. I've only visited as far north as Fairbanks once for a week. I've been to a lot of the surrounding places in the circles I drew on a map. Will you have a boat? A 4 wheeler? A truck? Are you just looking to rent from tourist companies? What are you trying to get into? Hunting? Fishing?

Batoning is a survival skill for when you don't have the right tool for the job
It's just been pushed in media and YouTube a lot for the last 10 years

I've only used it once when carving a hardwood branch into a bow, didn't use too much force and would not try to split a log with it

It's an Axes job desu

People are fucking morons. That's the only answer. Americans do it more because they've been subjected to bullshit youtube "survival" channels longer than anyone else online.

Complete ignorant lie.

Booze and weed are the most popular, but you know yourself and your friends the best

Don't put anything in your FAK you don't know how to use safely.
This goes for things (tourniquets, quik-clot, etc) and medications.

So get some training first, know how to properly stabilize and treat common injuries.

My riding FAK is pretty basic - couple different sizes of bandages, gauze, vetwrap, athletic tape, ibuprofen, aleve, bendaryl, alcohol wipes... trauma shears... nitrile gloves...

I've improvised a sling out of a motorcycle tire tube. Put your camelbak on the ground, a little pressure from your knee can easily flush out a wound.

I carry a sugary snack - fruit snacks or jello work well. If you're with a diabetic, that can come in handy.

Add in some common sense beforehand too. Don't do anything dumb that'd require the use of your FAK, but know accidents do happen.

>>932736
That's like saying you're buying your first vehicle and don't know what to get. You'll just get a lot of really strong opinions from people who have no idea what your personal and individual needs will be.

I personally go much lighter than most people are willing to. I carry a red handkerchief, ethanol, some painkillers and some anti-diarrhetics. Anything that won't kill me on the spot anyway can at least be mitigated long enough to get me to a hospital with just those four items, if not taken care of completely.

And now, the flood of "trained field medics" that will tell you you'll die if you don't carry a SAM splint and ten packs of Quick-Clot, and of course you need the training to use everything properly, so don't leave the house yet!

lol. Had I not reread that before hitting 'send', the timing would have been perfect.

Also, yeah... Benadryl isn't a bad idea; reduces everything from serious allergens to mosquito bites, I thought I was missing something.

Fuck off, thats no way to ask a question you fucking gay cunt

Regular leather work gloves.
For winter gloves, either leather work gloves with a liner glove underneath, or Black Diamond Dirt Bag.

What kind of gloves are those in the pic?

More /o/ or /asp/

Pavement bicycles are /n/. Pavement motorbikes are /o/. Dirt bikes and bike camping, with or without an engine, are /out/.

Prepare to work really hard for a really low income.

I was raised in a farm, the hardest things for our interns was the remote and lonely life with little confort and close to no money.

Loneliness is a big part of farming ppl's life, it can hit real hard. At that time if you dont have a plan B to get out of there it'll break you.

>>932303
Remote life sounds comfy to me personally and I'm used to having no money, it's not about the money for me, I just feel like I was built for that kind of work.

Though having a plan B is a good idea I might just jump in an never look back, there's nothing here for me in the first place, I see no reason to plan a return before I apprenticeship is done

me again.

Doing an aprenticeship is very good choice of yours and congratulations for it.

The main thing that stopped me from staying there and work is the little prospect for decent money that would insure a decent retirement.
Also, as a student I was dead broke, which taught me good lessons, but it would have been nice that my parents could pay at least the deposit for my place.

Quality of life is top notch, nature is a bitch when your a farmer, but a blessing when shit works well.

Best of luck with your plan.
