MCQ bushcraft is pretty good

>>888085

MCQBushcraft is godmode, most informative relaxing vids ever. Zeds Outdoors is great as well.

TA Outdoors is good if you're looking for something to watch while going to sleep or something.

Dave Canterburry's wildernessoutfitters channel is pretty good as well, but it's more for cabin life and not camping.

> Joe Robinet Bushcraft... dude just does stuff innawoods, thats all.

I randomly get aroused when I'm nude, so I don't do this

>How long would you have power?

power grids probably wont stay up without maintenence. all it would take is one small problem for the entire system to fail might want to get far away, upwind and upstream from any nuke plants, and upstream from any dams

>How long can you store gas/diesel before it becomes totally unusable?

a year or 2 if you use stabilizer, little bit longer if you know how to boost octane.

>How do you grow stuff when a lot of modern crops are bred to be sterile?

you go to your local garden store and find non GMO or heirloom seeds.

>How big of a problem would the sudden, sharp rise in animal populations worldwide be for you?

it wouldnt be a problem for anyone unless they are a complete and utter fucking retard

>>887421
>How long before you kill yourself?
why would I kill myself? sounds like my fondest dream.

also being the last human on earth is like being a lone kid in a candy store. you would have to actively fuck up to die in such a situation (basically unlimited canned food, gear, weapons, shelter etc pp)

From what I understand of bears, they have the advantage of speed, so DO NOT try to run from one.
I'm not too sure if looking big would help more than going up a tree.
If I found a bear. I'd try to look big while backing up to a tree to climb up.

>>876343
Trees are like an ez flight of stairs for bears

It's like going up a flight up stairs to escape a murderer... Won't do anything.

So the look big advice is good. but make sure it's a black bear. And don't be too aggressive and threaten them, just look like you don't want any of its shit

>meeting a bear innawoods is a single solution problem
what kind of bear?
what season?
how aggressive is it acting?
is it alone?
does it have cubs?
how big is it?
how big are you?
how far away is it?
has it seen you?

>tfw you're the only one on the trail, for the whole trail

feels surprisingly good

>tfw you tell yourself you go /out/ for the solitude
>tfw even innacity you spend the vast majority of your time alone in your apartment

>tfw just want a qt to go camping and sleep with outside

not another 5.11 jacket. Are these really that good or is there some kind of shill going on?

>>853780
I don't know, I thought this jacket was already out for some time?

Certainly not trying to shill, tell me your worst. Just trying to justify the 270 dollar pricetag. Don't wanna buy something that turns out to be a piece of shit for that price

>>853777
Is this any good ?

How about a job in the woods?

- Park ranger
- Biologist/botanist
- Forestry engineer
- Guide (if you like people)

Other than that, there's probably plenty of laws preventing you from hunting and trapping all year and whatever has a valuable fur...probably is on that list.

>>889776
everywhere? no

where you are? maybe

but is 4chins really your first port of call when it comes to finding out? srsly.

I'm thinking they're probably raccoons. If so, adopt one. Pet raccoons are badass.

It's a skinwalker. Be careful.

when I was a kid growing up
we had a coyote for a dog, it was crazy loyal but killed a bunch of our ducks so my dad took him for a one way ride to the hills.
we had a raccoon for a while but it would tear up the house and sit on top of our doors and grab your hair when you walked by. my dad taught it to do tricks like a dog. (sit rollover beg attack) It bit my granny pretty bad and my dad walked him to the river and tossed him. we never saw him again. my sister cried for like a week.

I say go get one anon. post pics of the pup.

Lets go down this in order.

>feasibility
Extremely difficult.

>Reeves County
Reeves County *is* in the Rio Grande basin, but only in the same sense that parts of Colorado are. The actual river is over a hundred miles away from the southmost tip of the county. The only water in Reeves County, aside from Balmorhea spring and its associated lake, is the Pecos River. The Pecos River is semi-okay up in New Mexico, but further south it becomes very, very alkaline and it actually shrinks in size as it passes through the desert.

>Groundwater
Only the western edge of the county has much, with Balmorhea, and that's pretty much all claimed. And you'd need an outlandish rainwater collection system to get enough because it only rains a few inches a year, on average. Long-term predictions for the region see it getting drier.

The county is mostly flat with a lot of creosote. There's little outcroppings of topography in spots, but not enough to really make groundwater possible. Agriculture out there is a bad idea. Pretty much all the land use these days comes from the oil/gas industry.

>>888824
You might be able to get enough water if you combine whatever scant groundwater you can find with whatever scant water you can condense from the air. You should play around with that before going all in and buying a plot, though.

Why would you choose this location? Especially if you're as unfamiliar with it as you are?

Go there and check it out.

Live in the countryside. Trust me, living in the city is shit when the SHTF.

Do obvious things like store Food, Water, Medical Supplies, Clothing, Lighters, etc.


Apart from that, learn hunting, farming, and homesteading skills, Learn how to blacksmith. Even learn how to make iron out of bog iron. Learn wild edibles. Learn how to build a cabin.

>living in a shithole that requires a firearms license

Ishygddt

As far as your question though, it will kill but not reliably and only if your shot placement is perfect. The majority of your shots will be wounds or stuns that will require you to Finnish off a wounded animal or worse it running off and suffering until it dies

Do yourself a favor and get a decent break action pellet gun and you will get clean h

>>884339
*clean humane kills

Daisy will kill birds but not squirrels and rabbits. You need a Sheridan pellet gun for dat.

I have a BaoFeng UV-5R meme radio and a Radioshack Pro-528 receiver. Meme radio is for camp-walkie type comms and FM radio receiver, Pro-528 is for scanning and trunked frequencies.

Neither are waterproof but I keep them in a waterproof Pelican container.

This one time in Kyrgyzstan (Manas AFB) it was about -20f and i radioed my patrol leader to come out and drive me to the nearest heated toilet because i had to drop a massive duece.

He was taking forever and i didnt want to shit in the guard shack and spend the rest of the shift smelling poo.

Anyways i gathered my courage and accepted the fact that i was going to have to shit in the plastic portapotty that was half buried in snow for like three months now. I bundled up and headed outside to dig the door loose.

I got inside and tried to hover my ass over the frosted seat. After awhile i accidentally lowered down onto the seat and my ass instantly froze to the seat of the porta john.

/out/ im going to level with you. Ive been shot at, taken frag from an IED, and may have even killed someone (know i atleast hit him). But ill tell you right now the scariest time of my career in SF was thinking "Holy shit im going to have to radio someone to bring hot water out to unfreeze my ass from this seat. What if they take pictures? What if i have to go to medical for frostbite on my ass cheeks? What if my wife hears about this? How long am i going to get made fun of for this?"

This was 8 fucking years ago and the most recent joke about it was two weeks ago.

Life as the guy whos ass froze to a porta potty.
