>Anyone getting ready for the season? Bought a tent and started making some diy led panels for light.

I'm pretty pumped. Last year was awful, lake only froze for a few days. Have previously had 2+ foot of ice by March. The longterm forecast for this winter is colder than average.

Considering a shanty since the wind/cold is unbearable without it. Also need a new rod.

pic related, ice-out in April 2015 I think.

Is that Montana?

I don't hate modern life. Even if I did buy some /out/ off the grid land and cabin, I would still want a cell phone and internet.

My dream is to live in the Rockies with a job where I have plenty of free time to enjoy fishing, hunting, hiking, etc. I don't specifically have dreams to "live off the land" but being self sufficient is desirable, learning how to hunt and clean game, learning how to farm, learning how to work on my own truck, 4wheeler, lawn mower, etc., learning how to repair and renovate my own home, etc.. I'd try to hunt for most of my meat and grow potatoes and stuff, but I'd still consume and be part of modern society.

>>876778
In other words, I would like to implement /out/ and /diy/ as much as I can into my life, without being a complete autist about it.

>>876778
I like this, and have had the same dream for a while. There's advantages to both kinds of life, why not try to maximize both of them? For so many people it's all or nothing, fucking instagram generation.

>>876545
No, it is the most autistic.

>>876545
You fags fucked up /pol/ with this sort of shit posting.

my personal preferences:
>free standing dome
then you don't have to worry about staking in rocky or sandy terrain
>2 person
only a pound or two heavier than 1 person, the extra room is nice even if you're solo, and provides flexibility for going with a second person
>2 doors
very nice with a second person

Cuben fiber zpacks tents are great. I have a solong 6 by lightheart gear, you set it up with trekking poles, love it.

If I'm going anywhere with trees I'm bringing my hammock. Super light and easy setup also 10x more comfy.

Anyone from California?
What's the fine for "Attempting to Snag Salmon"?
My dad's an amateur fisher and one of his friends took him to the Nimbus Dam in Sacramento. He says he wasn't trying to snag he just did a hard pull so the hook gets attached on the fish's mouth.

>>875967
Was he ticketed?

>>875683
I have a similar problem to you, my friend d, but not quite the same. I have troubles cleaning what I kill. There's something about taking a whole animal and turning it into parts unnerves me. I'm trying to work through it, but it's taking a while because I don't get to hunt much.
Normally, when I take a shor, I don't feel much of anything other than a rush of excitement about seeing something. The killing is the easiest part for me. I shoot a lot, though, so pulling a trigger is kind of second nature to me. Do you shoot a lot? If you got more comfortable with sgooting, it might help break down some of the barrier.

>>875683

Go write your blog else where, stop being such a massive faggot. While you're at it, you should tell your dad that his son is gone, was replaced with a worthless woman.

hunting is barbaric and archaeic. its sad you need to take the life of an animal to bond with your dad and feel like men. truly sad & pathetic

why do you feel weird about killing animals?

probably because you dont need to do it, jackass.

this isnt the 1700s

One of my friends back in high school was mowing his yard and one of those fell out of a tree and landed on him and it fucked him up.

>>879280
They're fucking awful. Run as fast as you can in the other direction if you see one.

I'm just curious as to what the fuck they are.

location would be helpful

>I have about 200 dollars to buy supplies
RIP in peace. How much are you going to save for when you end up completely fucked and need a bus ticket or plane ride home? Do you have a home? Or is this "journey" a way of glorifying your homelessness

Ok.

>>878680
At least start out in the south. Winter is coming, and even if you had a 0 degree sleeping bag, you sound ill-prepared.

Is the stem hollow?

Chef knife? Only in car camping.
Filet knives are more standard for de-boning fish are more frequently used.
Most frequently however would be whatever bush knife you're carrying.

>>878115
If it's an Old Hickory butcher knife, very.

An 8" stainless Santoku, ehhh...

Uh, sure

Good for filleting and slicing stuff

>>878183

>Old Hickory Butcher

My nigger

Probably the best value around

My father was a pretty big /out/ist, and I recall him having one like 30+ years ago.

>>878105
>Some sort of fad?
yes.

the implication is that they're so outdoorsy, handy and artistic they made it themself, but the only people who are going to believe it are people want to believe it to have an excuse to suck their dick, either figuratively or literally.

not to say there aren't people who could make one, but i would be utterly shocked if even 1 person out of 1000 who carried one made it.

this is probably a cultural thing, I'm from scandinavia so for me it's just a pretty common and traditional cup, my grandfather liked to carve these things
so it's not a fad to me

you can of course by these pre made in the store if you want

Lofty's SAS Survival Guide is pretty good. It's a bit big to carry around with you for emergencies as it's more of a reference. Not every day you're going to need desert survival right after winter survival, or know how to deliver a child. I don't think it's got much about growing food but it's got a lot about foraging.

>>877783
>SHTF situation
>growing food

One does not "grow food" in a SHTF situation. You do that long after it is over. The best you can hope for is growing sprouts since that only takes a few days.

>>877804

Yeah I know, but ideally I'd like to survive long after the initial fan-hitting.

Also I'd like to know what arrows specifically some experienced users would suggest given my setup. I appreciate any constructive input, just trying to learn more.

Pic related, that's it. Note I only fired a few of those 30/50 arrows before realizing they were not ideal for the bow. No, they did not cause any Bow damage doing so.

>>877754
you should have the same arrow weight and spine on both platforms to train for hunting;
also at least one broadhead for training and tuning purposes

a too low grain per pound value can damage your bow because the lighter the arrow, the more energy will go into the limbs

do you know the minimum GPP for your bow?

I do not as I purchased it used and the digital manual available online does not offer this information.

Pick one.

hahaha no

not even close
>minority of anime good
getting there
>miniscule 1% of anime decent/straight up good
That's the spot.

If you've never encountered good anime, then Mushi-shi is a good place to start. It's comfy as shit with lots of Japanese folklore and nature shots.

i've been hiking in the hardangervidda for a few days. its a huge national park with a lot of possibilities. i started in eidfjord and went up to vivelid - hadlaskar - harteigen (cool mountain, be sure to check it out) - torehutten - stavali and finally came down in kinsarvik. but there are a lot of other routes too - including one that will end at the trolltunga (by taking a different route from torehutten)

Hey they actually look pretty darn good for phone photography.

This is a picture from the Kjerag hike I did two weeks ago. I got really lucky with perfect weather and no line waiting to take a picture of the bolder itself (I've heard the wait can be up to an hour on a busy day).
