Fuck traffic. Just trying to enjoy my Saturday afternoon fishin for an hour or two before it gets dark and they decide to completely shut down the highway because of a fuel truck on fire. Ended up getting delayed close to 2 hours after standing around in the 595 parking lot and only got half an hour of casting before it got dark.

Looks like lots of people participating in the Secret Santa already sent some gifts so hopefully we will see those by the end of the week. Dank memes via post.

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 and trout. Skid typed up a saltwater guide so enjoy the autism.

What kind of socks do you use during the winter while hiking or whatever you do when you're outdoors? Do you go double, so you always go double?

Hi /out/,

Circumstances now warrant that I live out of my truck, but the money that was once spent on rent is now available for equipment.

In addition to miscellaneous military surplus clothing, I have a Canada Goose Snow Mantra, CG Tundra Overalls, and Baffin Apex boots. I'm particularly concerned about the extremities (hands and feet) since they are most likely to succumb to frostbite, so any suggestions for boots and gloves would be helpful.

Thanks

I posted a while back here about that I'm going on a world journey, starting with a year in Asia. Last time I asked about gear and such, and now I've gotten that figured out, so let's talk about emotions.

I've been living a very normal life up until now. Work, study, friends, all that, and I'm basically giving it up for freedom. This will be quite the change for me, and I'm still not sure how I will hope up to it.

Since it's worthless to break down out in the middle of nowhere in a country where no one speaks your language, what's some advice you oldfags can give me? How do I stay sane through years of traveling and living onnaroad?

Newfag here, really nice board btw, I was wondering what are you guys' everyday outfit as /out/ers. Outside my hiking outfit, which is pretty forest-colored, my everyday clothes are really different as there are urban colored.. and god damn are grey and blue depressing colors !

So what is your everyday outfit ? do you have specific brands or site that provides forest/rural looks ? and what is your view on modern urban looks ?

I'm in the early stages of planning a canoe/trekking trip around the Casamance river. I've never done serious stuff in the tropics before; just day hikes in Hawaii. So I'm looking for practical tips from people who are used to the tropics -- any unexpected difficulties you may have run into?
I don't really know what questions to ask, but here are a few:
-What kind of pants would you recommend? I don't know what kind of performance to expect of my trousers.
-Footwear? I feel like I should wear something quick-dry that I can swim in in case my canoe capsizes
-What are some hacks for preventing mosquito bites? I'll be sleeping in a military-issue permethrin tent and lighting fires every evening. I don't want to use DDT, but am I a fool for betting my health on a bottle of eucalyptus oil?
-What about water-borne parasites? I read the wikipedia article for schistosomiasis a long time ago, and now I'm afraid to refresh my memory.
-How do I keep diarrhea from ruining all my plans?
I certainly won't be deep in the wilderness, but the environment still poses a lot of challenges.

Hey boys.

I'm going out tomorrow with a goal of making a friction fire for the first time ever.

My knowledge of different tree types are not very big, but I do know fast growing trees are good.

I come looking for help on picking my wood for tomorrow. Im located in Denmark.
