Rain is going to be your biggest difficulty.

Staying warm in dry weather isn't too hard - just pack some insulation and you're good. I have hiked/camped in -25C without real difficulty. The hardest thing sub-zero is keeping water available (melting snow/ice), and it's pretty hard to start fires with wood/tinder in those temps so having gas helps.

If it is wet wet AND cold, then you're going to have the problem that wet makes you colder, and nothing that gets wet will ever dry. Basically, expect to have enough spare clothes to keep replacing them as they get wet. If you are out for 5 days, you probably want at least 5 pairs of socks, etc. If you really trust your jacket / pants, carry fewer shirts.

Always keep a completely seperate set of clothes dry for sleeping in - you need much more warmth when sleeping than when up and active and even something that is half-wet will be much colder.

hiked it recently. not bad make sure you have a good insulation layer and your set. especially if you heat a water bottle up and toss it in the bag with ya. if you have xcountry skis you can cut off a lot of slogging through wet slurpee snow for almost 14 k going up to tusk or panarama. if yur just around the lake just stay dry and if its pouring its sometimes good to split a 3-4 man tent load amongst you and huddle for warmth. tiny fold up umbrellas and/or a single use (the trip counts as one) Poncho are super useful for keeping you/gear/friends gear dry

Just go. What's your problem?

You're going to have to expand, young one. What do you want to do?

i want to go innawoods and never come back.

All I can tell you is to dedicate a few weeks to deleting and erasing all your social media, your credit cards, and other means of identification.

If you are truly serious about this, consider reading a book or doing some research on the internet.

What have you been catching most of your bass on recently?

Idk, they started moving a little bit more lately so I have been getting them on shit besides Texas rigs. I think the last time I was out on Sunday, the largemouth hit the Mepps and peacock grabbed that 1/8oz chatterbait. And the weekend before that I got a nice lil largemouth on an X-Rap. I think pic related was last week and can't remember if he took the chatterbait or what.

>>888968

I don't car camp but I also don't thruhike camp. I hoofcamp. As such I'm able to lug fresh foods and a campfire grate with me and it makes for delicious roast beast. When I do long hikes I just bring some dry Knorr pasta and shit like that to cook up with my Stanley pot.

It depends. "Just" a mess kit also requires firewood, while a propane stove just needs propane and the stove. When I have room I do prefer a campfire, though. Can't beat the taste of hardwood smoke IMO.

Any outdoor store will sell a good-enough mess kit and an extra pot and pan.

Be real faggot, you ain't gonna do shit.

Why do you feel threatened by hikers and bushcrafters? Are you a fag that needs a "manly" activity to make you feel better about yourself?

>>886619
I do 2 of those on a regular basis.

>>886623
Just because you walk from your house to the car doesn't mean you should post about it on /out/ because it was Outdoors. Please carry your nature walk posts over to /an/.

Nothing about manly vs unmanly. It just doesn't belong on here.

Hey bby

>>885620
Sodium isn't a big deal if you're actually moving and sweating. Those Mountain House meals are just kinda overpriced. Have you tried Soylent™?

>*Soylent™ is also overpriced for what it actually is

>>885622
OP isn't going to be actually moving and sweating otherwise he wouldn't need to take that garbage with him.

Get a job with the government making up science and killing prosperity.

High pay, great bennies and perks plus you get to pretend like you care about the environment while you destroy it. Good times

>>885604
That's a pretty broad dismissal of an entire field of study

>>885735
It is, but dems da facts boi. Forget to mention it but having to phoney the science will kill your soul

OP you are in the nubile pre-gearfaggotry stage. It's an exciting time, but it can be confusing. Here's my personal breakdown of the way forward:
1. Become self-aware of desire to partake in a hobby.
2. Lightly involve yourself via forums, friends, etc.
3. Start breaking down the gear you need, separate needs from wants, immediate vs. "someday" purchases.
4. Begin buying gear, get all into it, but don't waste money.
5. You have the gear, the long-term interest and investment, you've been reading and understanding the hobby more and more, time to put this shit to use.
6. Go /out/ and learn the rest by doing.

~~ALTERNATE PATH~~
1. Take your bookbag and blanket and go /out/ and learn completely by making mistakes and trial and error.

wait for the rain to stop

Thank you for not frogposting. It isn't difficult to get started:

1) Put on socks, then shoes
2) Open door
3) go outside

It's a good idea to tell your mom where you're going and when you'll be back, and you might want to bring some water and a jacket.

The first few times, bring a watch so you know when to turn around. Once you level up you can walk til it gets dark, sleep where you are, then walk back in the morning.

I think smashing hipster typewriters and record players should be a thing. Sort of like smashing cairns.

square piron because pic related.

I have the exact same one. Xxl, same colour and all that shit. It's honestly the warmest coziest thing i've ever slept in. You'll be good for -15°C. A couple problems. It's massive. When they deliver it to you, you look at the size and go "is this a joke?" then you go out and buy an xl size compression sack cuz that's the only size that'll fit the bag (trust me you'll need one for this bad boy). It's still massive. You have to strap it to the top or bottom of your pack. Also it weighs like 8-10lbs. Again, i fucking love this bag but good lord is it bulky.

I use quilts, bags suck. Enlightened equipment makes great quilts

>>889102
>8lbs
you don't plan to trek with this monster right?
