As of tomorrow I'll be living in a rustic Wisconsin cabin. It has a wood stove for heat, no running water, an outhouse, a tin roof. It does have electricity, but a very limited supply. I'm staying at least a year, maybe more.
What do I need to know? Who else has lived in a rustic, oldschool cabin?
(pic related -- not the cabin, but it looks similar.)

So I have enough electricity to run a router and a laptop, but not much else on the circuit.
And for some fucking crazy reason the local rural phone company offers up to 125Mbps internet to that location. I checked. I think the area is part of some rural broadband expansion program. So I have to shit outdoors and bathe in melted snow, but I can download Blu-ray quality movies in 6 minutes, lol.

Living the dream. I don't have experience long term cabin living, but try to sleep up high for heat gains at night. My friend's cabin has a loft bed and it probably gets 15 degrees hotter up there than I keep my house during the winter.
Also you picked a bad time to move in if you're not from the area. It's cold as shit for December right now and I think we're supposed to get a ton of snow dumped on us this weekend.

Why can't sudacas, chinks and slavs into proper gear?

Mexican here,sorry for the bad english
The commercial machetes are considered low to medium quality here but they are cheap, no matter if they break ,you can buy another
But everything depends on the quality you want and know where to find them
An example is that I buy a machete made by a blacksmith for about 20 dls, two months later, being in a tianguis (yard sale ?, I don't know how to say it in English) I buy a legitimus Collins in 3 dls, those machetes have a Reputation for being of good quality and is my favorite machete now
Tl; dr you should know what quality and where to find what you are looking for, and be lucky too, at least here

Hi /Out/, I recently bought a Flecktarn parka (good deal- $15) and I want to waterproof it. What do you suggest I use? I was considering waxing it, seeing as it's cheap I wouldn't care if it got messed up. What are the pros vs. cons of spray treatment/waxing/whatever?

#110-"$40 Wobble Stiks" Edition
Previous Thread:
>>910145
Thinking about buying an Ugly Stik for anything besides soaking bait? Here's why you shouldn't:
>1) Berkley Lightning Rod is $39 everywhere
>2) Berkley Lightning Rod Shock is $49 most places
>3) Berkley Lightning Rod Shock is $39 at Walmart
>4) Shimano Sellus is $59 with great varieties and actions for bass fishing and a good reel seat
>5) Fenwick Eagle is $49-$59 and has what we call "Action" and "Sensitivity"
>6) No. 8 Blackout is $79 and will make you feel like a respectable angler
>7) Other rods are offered in a variety of actions and weights to better fit your needs
>8) An Ugly Stik will still break when you slam the tip in your car door
>9) Fiberglass is for Corvettes, not casting lures
>10) Ugly Stiks weigh a ton compared to similar size graphite composite rods which means terrible balance and can make your arm tired without the proper fapping routine to build strength
Still waiting for help with the beginner guides on the Pastebin. I put a little saltwater one in there, but I want to do a river one possibly. Skid typed up a saltwater guide so enjoy the autism and CAbaymang just did a trout one.

Something I can pull about 40lbs of gear on a sled. Should I do it around my hips or my torso? If Torso, how would I wrap it around my bag (Kelty Redwing 50L)
Figured I'd just use some spare 550 paracord that I've got laying around.

Try and be smarter than the paracord and tie it to an A.L.I.C.E. frame with waist belt.

My parents told me they're getting me a new sleeping bag for christmas and asked me to figure out what I'd want. What I currently own is a costco hand-me-down rectangular bag like pic related, which I believe is rated for 40F. I get cold easily and would like something warmer, 20F or lower.
I live in California and generally stay in the state when camping. Don't often go camping in the winter but wouldn't mind it being an option. I only go backpacking once in a blue moon when my friends convince me, but it'd still be nice to have something that packs up small. I'm also somewhat tall (6' 1"), if that makes a difference.
My parents are paying but I'd still rather not go too high with the price. What would /out/ recommend?

>cold
god damn californians. I was visiting by LA a few weeks ago and it was 68 and sunny, no clouds, and everyone was wearing winter clothes and bitching about it being cold.
Come to Oregon, the valley will make you want to die because its so fucking rainy.
Also down fill will pack away better while being warm. Use straps and you can pack it tighter. Go to a fucking store for brands.
>t. OreOutist from Norcal
>>
>>911034
I'm actually from Norcal but moved down to LA because I'm such a bitch when it comes to the cold.
>>
>>911035
I forgive you, I'm just jelly of the sunlight. I love OR but the 8-9 months of rain can get depressing. We have a sunny day finally, cant plan for the shit though
Also electric socks can warm you up a lot more than most people realise. Food for thought.
Is fatbike riding in snow fun?
It's supposed to snow Saturday. I just ordered a $200 Walmart fatbike and it'll be available for pickup friday. I'm going to use it every time it snows this winter and then return it in 89 days.

They also sell this 29er with 3" wide wheels. Would this be more fun in snow or should I stick with the fat bike?
>>
>>910979
The fatbike is easier to ride in the snow or sand or anything unstable.
Overall I don't care for fatbiking. It is about the least fun way to get around in the snow and the terrain where it works very well at all is pretty limited.
>>
>>910985
Any recommendations for biking in snow? That's the overall goal, I'd like to do it with the most fun and disposable equipment possible as I've never tried it.

You know how scientists are always clamoring about how we know more about outer space than we do our own oceans?
Maybe there is a fucking reason for that.
1. The ocean sucks
2. Who wants to be around some faggy fish
3. Fuck salt
Let me explain something to you, /out/.
We never need to explore our fucking oceans because there's nothing cool down there.
So don't you go looking, because you're going to waste your time, my time and humanity's time.
I don't understand why anyone would wanna go check out that bullshit.
If you wanna get the same experience just go to the deep end of a pool or a pond and it's the same exact shit just deeper.
I repeat: There is nothing cool in our unexplored oceans and ain't nobody got time to find out.

It's the standard price, but the knife itself is awesome.
Please ask questions like this in one of the ~3 Knife threads, instead of opening a new one.

God, people!

>>910411
Why not just get the standard $15 one?
It still doesn't seem like a bad price for what you get, but at that price there is other stuff on the market you could check out. Best thing about the regular $15 Mora is that there is really nothing else in the price range that can compete with it.
