You are an idiot.
Those campgrounds are made for them.
Buy a tent and get off the asphalt asshole

You went to a campground, You didn't go /out/. That's what pisses me off. Learn the difference. Going to your state park campgrounds and meme hiking trails isn't going /out/. Creating your own primitive shelter miles from any trails is being /out/. Climbing a mountain is being /out/. Going hunting in the freezing cold during Winter and eating game you kill while making a shelter is /out/.

Take your shit to /an/.

I was with you until the 2nd sentence but you started sperging out after that.


But yea op is fucking gay and a total state park glamper

yeah bought the annual park pass and got the 2nd year free, already been up in Banff and Yoho enough to justify the cost vs day passes

Hell yeah, recently bought a motorhome too that I'm fixing up

Why haven't you made it down to Norcal/SoOre? It's prime time to be making those connections

Where I'm from you stack wood in the winter when you've got tons of free time. Stacking in the fall doesn't give it enough time to age and you'll have a smokey winter

>>875501
Just a friendly reminder that if you had payed my plane ticket and married me to get me a green card I could be there with you, canning food and laying firewood.

No homo.

I use the nature brand stick, because who needs a spade when all youre gonna be using it for is a latrine.

I just bring a full-sized shovel with solid fiberglass handle.

gimme dat land

Not a surveyor and never will be but I'm a rod man for one a couple days a week. Back to surveying beside an old cemetery tomorrow, they used concrete plot markers for corners but I don't know how accurate they were set

That's gorgeous. What state?

Hi there!
I've bought from trekinn, and a lot of stuff from diveinn. They are a legit company, but be shure they have what you order in stock, or else you can be in for a long wait.

Once waited almost 2 months for a down sleeping bag...

-a friend of mine ordered a complete spearfishing kit, and they accidentetly packed a lot of extra stuff in his box :-)

>>874985
Thanks mate. Very appreciated your first hand experience. After taking a look they have a few products that I want to buy that are cheaper than here even with the shipping costs. Maybe I will give it a try.

Does anyone know if anyone there speaks English?

You can usually tell fly rod weight's by feel and thickness if not labeled otherwise

>This is not my guide to determine Rod Weight but it has worked for me. I also had existing fly line that I measured which made it easier

Materials Needed to Calculate Fly Rod Weight

measuring tape
clamp
paper clip
metal washers
accurate scale

Determining the Weight of a Fly Rod
1. Measure the entire rod, minus the grip, in inches. In other words, measure from the very top of the grip (not the butt end, but the other end) to the skinny end of the rod. Mark down the measurement and then divide by 10. For a rod measuring 90 inches from grip to tip, that would give a final number of 9. This represents 10% of the rod length, excluding grip.

2. Clamp the rod tightly to a table, putting the clamp on the cork grip and letting the rest of the rod extend out over the edge of the table. No part of the rod except the cork grip should touch the table.

3. Measure the distance between the very tip of the rod and the floor. Now subtract from that the figure derived in Step 1. Continuing with this example, if the rod tip is exactly 36 inches above the floor, subtracting 9 gives a new number of 25 inches.

4. Pry a paper clip partially open and hang it from the tip of the rod, then begin hanging washers on the paper clip until the rod tip bends down to the mark calculated in Step 3. For the rod in this example, one would add weight until the tip was exactly 25 inches from the floor.

5. Remove the paper clip from the rod and measure the weight of the the paper clip and all of the washers used in bending the rod. This weight must be in grams. Accurate scales can usually be found at grocery or hardware stores and post offices.

6. Divide the weight by the number from Step 1. If the paper clip and washers in our example weighed 30 grams, one would divide that by 9 to get roughly 3.3 grams per inch. This is called the stiffness ratio.

>>874715

7. Find the stiffness ratio and its corresponding line weight in the following chart, and you now know the weight of the rod. In the example used, the rod turns out to be an 8 weight and should be used with 8 weight line.

Stiffness Ratio: (grams/inch) .............Recommended Line Weight (Rod Weight)

1.4 - 1.6 = 3

1.6 - 1.9 = 4

1.0 - 2.2 = 5

2.2 - 2.6 = 6

2.6 - 3.0 = 7

3.0 - 3.5 = 8

3.5 - 4.15 = 9

4.15 – 5.0 = 10

5.0 - 5.9 = 11

While this method requires a little bit of work and some mathematics, it provides a simple way to pinpoint the exact weight of a fly rod. Armed with that information, a fly angler can then make an informed decision when purchasing a matching line.

>>873251
Depends, is it the red or green type?

I think the main issue would be water weight? If you took some powder with you and just re-hydrated that I don't think refrigeration is a problem. Just make sure you have some way to ensure water purification if you haven't already.
That said, apparently the stuff is not so great for the enjoyment of food. So obviously some snacks are a must.

Mr. Buddy Heater:

And a propane gas tank that you can fill for around 10 bucks.

You could also wrap your car (from the inside) with blankets or thermotec

Good luck nigger

>>872754
>>872757
Yeah and obviously don't forget to crack a window open so you won't die from the gas. The heater has a detector supposedly but don't take any chances

>>872757
Sounds good, that's that sorted.

>>872758
I was planning on keeping it cracked to decrease humidity anyway, so no worries about that.

Now for the food

meh he was the biggest faggot in the show.
and there were some big faggots so that says something.
he showed zero skills or practical work for the vast majority of the show.
he was stubborn that's got him the win and that the better players quit before him for various faggy reasons.

>biggest faggot in the show
The award for that goes to the fucking hipster. You know it, I know it, anyone who's seen the fucking show knows it. You saying otherwise makes me think maybe YOU'RE the hipster.

Skunker harassing my quails, I'm allowed to trap on private property
Also got a wild cat
This is using the 220 connibear

Ive been thinking about hunting and trapping.
Any noob advise?

>>867658
Find out if your state has a fur trappers' club and if said clubs put on a clinic weekend. They will likley administer your state'a trapping liscene test there. The sport is dying so most old hands are more than willing to teach a newcomer. Also trapperman.Com forums.

These things are the niggers of plants. So many I found in Florida

pl0nt is the worst I've ever known

>>865241
pro-tip you can actually eat these little fuckers seeds. remove the pokey outer bit to get to the seed.

I would say these are the worst, but jeans+boots they are just painful pulling off ur shit. whats worse is the spic of all florida plants. Opuntia humifusa. they jew you twice, big ass spines that burn like hell, and little bullshit hairs that come off when you touch the big ass spines bases...

3rd up the white trash of florida plants is the Smilax vine.
