something like sage salt should be good.
dunno though if it's good for freshwater, but i guess you should do fine with it.

What restrictions? Stay out of parks and go to forests? No leash laws. Hunters and trappers welcome. No bullshit hiking trails for millennials. Great for fishing, hunting, and camping.

Restrictions? Top fucking kek this is freedomland faggot

If you dont experience the wilderness in america is just because you are a pussy

This, the amount of public wilderness in the US is twice the size of Germany and the only basic rules for most of it are pick up after yourself, don't harass others and move camp every two weeks(ish).

Some smaller sections have more specific rules (no campfires above "x" altitude, no fires during drought, pack out your poop, etc) but for the majority of land it's pretty loose.

what do you mean as a feild.engineer? one of the engineer faggots that comes out of the trailer once a week?

long johns and a flannel with khakis.

>>894543
Kind of, except we have to actually be outside and inspect things for a good portion of the day

My only problem is this gay dress code, i have plenty of cold weather shit from working before but now that I'm "management" or whatever the fuck, i can't wear it

>>894550
What are they gonna do, fire you for wearing the wrong jacket? Just wear your normal jacket, and if your boss complains politely tell him to deal with it.

I have two kinds of pants the regular cargos and the fleece lined fire hose, and i have an alaskan hardgear jacket or whatever

>>894422

Faggots will try to convince you otherwise but the reality is that their products are made of shit.

No. We're foregoing the Winter Ball in favor of Winter sports. I, for one, will be skiing. Others will be snowboarding, playing hockey, building snowmen, ice fishing, and more.

Tell you what, /vr/ - instead of going to Winter Ball, wanna rent a timeshare go tubing with us?

>>893104
Osprey packs are good. Size is really dependent on what works for you. REI has a pretty lenient return policy, so if it turns out you don't like the pack you can just return it.

I only recommend cuben/dyneema fiber packs. Look at Zpacks or Hyperlite Mountain Gear

Can you guys recommend a pack for doing the PCT? I tend to hike using my schoolbag, and I know it won't be suitable for such a long distance and time.

Nope. Died out. My second attemp.

Merino is definitely the way to go, don't know any brands for the UK tho, as I got mine in NZ

Darn tough wool socks. Don't know if they are available in UK but they are quality socks.

Get a steel knife. Doesn't have to be big or fancy, but get a fixed blade (no flip ups). Are you just going in a car and camping near it?

Also, don't forget a pad to put the sleeping bag on, I recommend the Therm-a-Rest Ridgerest, it's cheap and pretty good quality.

car camping, or backpacking?

either way, lose the tarp, and add sleeping pads to your list. a stove is nice to quickly heat water or cook food for breakfast

if backpacking get lighter cookware, and add some option to process water.

if car camping at a more popular park expect to have to make your reservations at least 2 months in advance, maybe even earlier.

>crank radio with usb charger to charge our phones just in case, has a flashlight built in
What the fuck?

Turn your damned phones off and put them in a waterproof bag in your pack. Radio isn't a bad idea. Weather report and music are always nice. Sounds like you're car camping so you can bring the kitchen sink if you want.

Coolers work fine. Pack them with frozen water bottles or drain the water of ice as it melts to keep it longer. I like frozen water bottles in combination with ice.

Missing anything obvious?
A stove.
Toilet paper/Hygiene items
A tarp to hang above your camp picnic table (nice when it's raining out)

I'd be down to try too, but initial investment puts me off. Also leaving all your shit on your bike when you're in the pub or in the shops.

I suppose if you're already a lightweight fag the transition wouldn't be too bad.

i think the point is to mostly stay on trails and camp not bar hop...
i see your point though. but thats not a reasn for me not to do it

>>887853
Seasamie sticks, pepitas, and mixed nuts are a pretty good snack.
Assorted vegetables cut and wrapped in foil, then placed by the edge of a cooking fire for a while.
Peanut butter and banana sandwiches.
Oats with whey powder, butterscotch chips, and pecans.

>best
>cheapest

Pick one.

But really, anywhere in Washington or Oregon is legit. West of the mountains is more wooded, East is more desert. Oregon's cheaper and they're both beautiful. The thing is, once you get out to the cheaper acreage it's rather lonely and there's not much to do.

>buy land
why buy when you can occupy it without consequences?

My Grandparents own a vacation cabin in Montana. It's 2 bed 1 bath 966 square foot cabin on 3.5 acres but it's surrounded by Nation Forest land. It's about a hour outside Helena.

Housing is shit in Montana though. They paid $240K for it a few years ago and now it's only worth like $160K. Real estate isn't appreciating. People are moving to the cities and suburbs.

I'd say pretty much anywhere in the northwest you can find a small cabin on land surrounding millions of acres of public forest. It'd be a good setup. Don't expect some McMansion or normal size house for $200K though. A 1 or 2 bed tiny cabin is about all you'll get. But you can live in it and expand when you're older. Also, keep in mind the job market. If I were wanting to move out in the middle of nowhere like that, I'd probably want to become a nurse or get a CDL. Being a nurse you can get a job anywhere. Same with CDL you can pick up a local delivery gig.

At least 40# to hunt. Get a compound bow for ease of use.

>>886174
i would, but compounds are much more expensive then the recurve ones (at least on my country)

I was thinking in getting pic related, it detaches in three parts. it is any good?

Looks like rubbish but can barely tell without the maker?
