The Aether is getting updated with the AG system. I heard this from a sales rep recently.

Good times, great oldies

I'd strictly separate those meant for emergencies and those meant for normal use. You don't want to come home from a hike having lost some piece of gear, then suddenly finding you need it.

>>888617
I know that they are separate things. I'm just seeing what variety of prepared packs people have laying around. From hiking to killing, fishing to shooting. Etc.

needs more water
1 gallon / day
3 gallons for 72 hours is bare minimum for a bob
anything less is criminally insane

With the bigger sneks, their skulls are so thick that it can be hard to get a knoife through it. So instead I just bash their head on the nearest curb and throw em in the bushes.

what, you gonna cut you bacon with scissors or an axe?

Now Pepsi has four trips. God you're such a faggot. I'm glad you post the same shit so often, so that way I can easily recognize your gay ass.

Good knives, good axes/hatchets, most cutting tools, maybe a backpack or some sort of hat, a VERY good jacket and that's about it really.

Big agnes gear, the warranty basically let's you use something till it breaks and get a new one.

I have a Vaughan carpenter's hatchet. I like it a lot because of the tempered hammer on the back and the fact that it has a narrow concave blade.

BUT it's not heavy, and they aren't great for real chopping. They're good for craft and woodwork (building shelters and relatively light duty bushcraft). I bought an Estwing eventually and that's much, much better at chopping down saplings and splitting up wood.

I still use the Vaughan though for the more light duty jobs or if I need a hatchet/hammer.

Assuming you're in Mearca you should look into a made in USA brand, like Estwing or Vaughan. Just sayin' though.

>>860083
I don't plan on using it for much more than some rough carving, and light bushcraft like you mentioned.
I've got an offer put on it on Ebay, just waiting on a response now

wha kind of wood is it?
>seal the ends with wax and let it dry for a few months
>ideally the bark would still be intakt for that
>on some woods you leave it on anyway
>cut it so the lower end is around 2,5cm diameter
>it should be about 20cm longer than you are tall
>some people get a metal tip (imo that looks bad, but your stick last waaaaaaaay longer)
>after drying it seal it weatherproof, I do everyday the first week, every other second week and once a week the last two


Pic related was improvised while I was already on the trail

Thanks mate! It's already dry, I believe. It's eucaliptus wood. I should waterproof it. It's ok if I use varnish for that? Or should I do use wax only?

if you plan on adding a metal tip, which I really recommend, make sure you add a rubber between wood and metal.

most of the fags on her are suburban white collar sissies that hardly go /out/ at all, just like the literal faggots on /fit/ doesn't even lift or the stormweenies on /pol/ aren't even politcally active etc etc.

Pfff I can survive inawoods with no gear for the rest of my life.

Use acrylic paint. If you want to go extra far, use a heavy lacqeur over it to seal the paint and preserve the wood.

>7lbs
You're better off getting a surplus ilbe pack at that weight and price. stay away from amazon chinkshit in general. You'll get a battle tested pack capable of carrying 100+ pounds plus modular rifle carrying. its way more versatile in general, I've carried an ar with the stock protected in the side pouch, it actually has a sleeve that runs along the side to carry a longgun but unless im bushwhacking I usually just use the compression straps on the side to secure it. Overall extremely comfy, if you're willing to take a few pounds in weight its 100% worth it.

I have never lived anywhere with mountains or good terrain so I feel ya. Colorado is my favorite place to vacation to since you can actually go there and do shit instead of just shopping and sitting on a beach.

At least I got out of IL I'm a stone's throw from the Atlantic Ocean and it is warm enough to enjoy the /out/doors all year.

Then move. I moved from Virginia to Utah a few years back. It's a cultural wasteland but damn is it pretty. Pic related: it's Interstate 70.

You can go back to whatever cuck subreddit you came from.

Theres no incentive to make this place into a safe haven for socially awkward retards.

The air of anonymity allows us to discuss topics without having to filter our thoughts.

Everyone loves to let their nuts hang low and bully the "I need my safespace" nerds.

OP im sure you will be schocked to know, there is one troll here who is probably the boss troll of a few different boards. He is the one who posts about shooting dogs, killing homeless people, x is better than y instigating bullshit. I know it is hard to believe that the majority of this boards shit posts are one dude but i promise you they are.
