I could write a river guide but Itd be biased because I fish on a boat and realize not everybody here has a boat.

So I'm in Austin visiting a friend and I decided to fish some of these little creeks. I was pressed for time so i didn't get to fish for very long but I still managed to get one.

I use that same bag for tackle

I have a basic set of Flexcut carving knives, and that + sandpaper are the only tools I use at the moment. I have a set of small gouges but they came from the store with terrible edges on them and I need to learn how to sharpen them properly before I can see doing anything with them.

I carve all sorts of wood as I am still learning its attributes. I've tried cedar, alder, birch, maple, hemlock, fir, basswood, and elm so far. The hardwoods are my favorite.

I've only been carving for about a year, producing mainly Christmas ornaments as I am planning on selling them at a local craft fair next weekend. Due to the fact that I am still learning, I have been sanding and painting my work because I'm not able to carve enough detail yet.

Apologies for not having any pictures to post at this moment. I will try to come back later with some.

Some questions for posters to answer:

What tools do you use?
What woods do you prefer to work with?
What sorts of things do you carve?
How did you pick up the hobby?

And, of course, post some pics of your work!

That´s the happiest electrical socket i have ever seen.

There's a ton of shipping on them, hell if your country isn't landlocked I guarantee that a boat from it has come up the St. Lawrence. I live at the western most tip of Lake Superior and the possibilities of doing /out/ activities is pretty much endless. Canoeing, fishing, sailing, even surfing.

>>895387
Do they freeze over in the winter?

I'm in NJ and don't know much about them either. I know people that go to Ontario for some monster lake trout but we mostly just go to the shore for water related sports.

"woah they can afford some good shit"


Seriously though OP if you got the excessive money to burn, Arc'Teryx is breddy good

I have one of their rain jackets and a couple pairs of their pants and they're some pretty tough stuff and were well worth the money

What can I say, it's unfortunate that people are spending more than necessary, and $5,000 dollars is a lot of money.
>inb4 richfags
you don't get richer by throwing money out the window

My average hunting load out is probably around that. Rifle plus scope alone is 2 grand.

My hiking/camping set up probably 2500 without the clothes I'd wear.

Life is expensive, get over it.

Killing an animal, skinning and tanning it's hide, and fashioning a cloak out of the furs.

That one milsurp jacket they have at your local milsurp store. Is that what you wanted to hear?

No, try again

come to NZ brah

>>890299
I thought NZ was free of every kind of dangerous animal? Or is it just snakes?

They are really only dangerous if you have dogs with you. They might come to your camp and dig around looking for food but other than that not much to worry about.

I knife hunt them every year and it's always a good time.

For those of you who don't know, in an apocalypse, gold will be the most likely currency as it is extremely rare and cannot be replicated.

I would prefer to carry a few bars if I had the money.

>>871842
Also because paper money becomes worthless if the institution (government) guaranteeing its value collapses, while gold is physical and eternal (barring nuclear transmutation).

You may have heard the story about Niels Bohr and the Nobel prize medals in solution.

>>871842
It will also devalue heavily as its gonna turn into the next common currency

Catches bigunz.

how do you train them not to mangle the birds?

>>898546
A knife too, but im looking at the active threads now

>>898546
if you don't know if you will like it, I would advise against buying all that shit. you can borrow a tent or buy a cheap one and try it out in a state park.

something you didn't mention was sleeping bag. if you are doing this in winter in wisconsin you will probably need a good sleeping bag.

>>898548
>>898546
What I should have said is that I'm going to use much of this for camping with friendos as well.

So I'll hold off on buying a one man tent, but I still need a knife, axe, multitool, firestarter, water bottle, boots, shovel, and 30L+ backpack.

I'm taking stock of the gear I have right now, and I'll post that soon. I have at least two sub-freezing sleeping bags, but I was thinking of getting something less bulky.

You should introduce wild MGTOWs and see how they fare with the partridges

>>898532
The partridges would overpower the MGTOWs and run them off. MGTOWs are notoriously bad at life, otherwise they'd be functional members of society instead of the whiny little kissless faggots they are.

>>898524

I strongly urge you to not introduce non-native species. Reintroducing exterpated species would be really cool but the chance that they would fare well is slim. Odds are that the things that originally drove them away are still there.

I did that except i started by throwing all the bullshit out and never made myself a part of it.

Living /out/ is better than living /in/
Everyone on /k/ is right wing as fuck (or at least shitposts that way) and if you dont share the dream of working your life away to buy more expensive bullshit then you are a whiny liberal cuck bleeding out the vagina about whatever is wrong in your life. Cure it with more funz they say, worship the god emporer because elections only matter as far as gun rights. You should look at the nuggetfest pics before taking /k/s advice on anything.

Fuck all that. Go get some land and live how you want

23 and I feel all too similar. life is too precious and short to not do what makes you happy. ive come to the conclusion that people are going to think I'm crazy for possibly throwing away a "successful" career to live the /out/ life I live. but I am damn happy with it, fuck what others think. It's never too late to change up your lifestyle.

Nope, do not share.

You mean the Danube?

Actually, regardless of the river - if you're traveling from Vienne, Austria to the Black Sea you're in for a multi-week excursion. I mean just based on Google Maps I'm seeing it's ~500 miles from Vienne to the Black Sea if you travel a straight line, but this river winds and turns all over the place so your trip will be significantly longer than 500 miles.

You'd also be traveling across country boarders. I don't pay attention to world affairs so I don't know how kindly your neighboring countries will take to a foreign city boy.

Sorry, anon - based on your lack of experience and your self-declared "City Boy" status it doesn't look like this is feasible for you at this time.

>>897899
well i would never go under serbia.
the people down there are actually worse than gypsies.

>>897918
i guess it's called Danube. It's roughly 1000 miles and I'm guessing it might take me about 8 weeks.

I'm a German citizen so there wouldn't be many difficulties with visas and stuff in those countries.

Usually do Skyline Divide and Explore around Mt. Baker for day hike's. Anyone with experience with these brands? Willing to spend up to 255$

>>897808
I live in your neck of the woods and I use arcteryx for my rain jacket. Have the alpha fl which is more expensive, but any of those should be fine.

>>897909
would you say your's is thicc enough for a stand-alone jacket? i'll also keep a thin layer too if needed

>>897763
I find a ziplock with some wet wipes for the nether region goes a long way in staying fresh and clean.

Did a long distance hike in Scotland this summer. We had degradable soap with us (pic related) and washed our heads and armpits in streams every now and then and when the weather was decent we washed more thoroughly. Sometimes we washed our clothing in the streams and let it dry hanging from our backpacks.

Other than that having baselayer clothing made from wool really helps reduce the odor!

Campsuds my dude

Looks like a wasp with some food (another bug)

I bet it's gonna take it to its nest and shove it in there with its hatchlings.

>>897734

I think that's a horsefly.

Robber fly OP. it eats bugs, doesnt bother people. They are ugly bros, they will eat flies and small wasps and shit just let him chill
