I finally found the bastard

lol iktf

Sometimes I have to look for 10 minutes before I find it. The last one I found I left because it was covered in those wasp parasite pupae things all over it and it was no longer moving.

An hour or two away from the summit at this point. I only took a few photos of this hike but the cloud cover and fog made visibility absolutely brutal later on.

1 has my main backpacking gear (tools, and things I switch out of my kit, but am likely to use)

1 is like a junk drawer of my old/less likely to need gear

The other 3 are currently empty. And will likely fill up with more food.

Final product works great. Weight distribution is very solid with the slats on top, and can take direct pressure of standing on any point of the mattress without so much as a sound of shifting.

I have an oversized black blanket that Im going to drape between the mattress and slats, to cover what's actually underneath my bed. That's mostly just to keep friends/family/any visitors from asking what's in them, and I don't like wearing my tinfoil hat publicly.

Same thing I do every day. I take care of crops & animals, harvest, and preserve. I always have about 6 months worth of food. Though, this is life, not "prepping". Thus, it isn't a hobby.

the technique is called batining


you need a good fixed blade knife

you don't need much skill with a blade, and most people who baton don't have much skill
it's a meme here, lots of different opinions

Hey there anon!
1) That technique is called caning and should really only be done with a fixed blade knife(those are the kind that don't fold, thus the name)

2) Personally would use a knife witg a full tang handle(that is when the metal from the knife blade extendes to the handle in piece)

3) It doesn't require much in the way of blade skill though it can be tough on the blade. You're essentially using the knife in substitute of an ax(the stick in the picture shown is helping push the knife through that piece of unsplit wood) Which, in some cases, especially survival or super light backpacking, some folks may not want the extra poundage.

>Cigars are too hard to store in a backpack
WAT? Why?

Yep. I smoke a pipe innawoods. Generally I just bring an old beater pipe, a pouch of tobacco, a czech tool and some matches and I'm set.

Assuming you've never smoked a pipe before, get a corncob to start because in all likelihood you will ruin your first pipe, so hold off on buying a nice one until you learn how to smoke properly/decide it's for you. Watch some youtube videos and the like to learn how, and feel free to ask your local tobacconist or any of your pipe smoker friends any questions.

Suggestions for tobacco I have for starting out are pretty much anything made by dunhill, particularly Elizabethan Mixture, which was my very first pipe tobacco. It lights easily and is very mild. There is also a possibility that your tobacconist might have their own bulk blends of tobacco available, which I wholeheartedly suggest you try. It's a lot cheaper than buying tins and are a unique local experience. Plus, you can look at and smell what you get before buying it. They might even let you take a free sample. You can also order bulk tobacco online for very cheap as well. pipesandcigars.com is pretty good for this.

As for smoking a pipe outdoors, I guess just avoid smoking on really windy days as this can act like a bellows and make your pipe too hot, and if you do this enough you'll burn a hole in your pipe. Pipes are nice from a leave-no-tracer's point of view I suppose, since they hold all their ash, but whatever. Other than that, smoke away.

The home is at top the top of a very steep and long, overgrown driveway at the top of a hill. Here's the garage AT THE BOTTOM of the driveway.

Get a yard sale bike

I once put a motorcycle rear rotor and caliper (two piston) on the front tire of a bicycle... Stopped wayyy too good.

But assuming your not that extremely diy.. Best go with a super light frame and nice road tires to start out with.. Rim brakes are good for little kids (tho you should teach him to stuff his foot into his front tire to stop...)

Light frame, good road tires... And consider he cant keep up because hes got like 1/16th the potential energy then u or your wife...

I worked there on my first field job. That place is fucking unreal beautiful in fall. It was mostly pretty quiet. Lots and lots and lots of forest out there though. At least where I was close to lake superior.

Newfag to /out/ would I discuss land prices in Texas here?

Only if you own a sweet knoife

They should probably all be sent to a psych ward.

>how many years
Probably 10 max.

>Were the right? Wrong?
Wrong, and also idiots.

And I happen to agree that the Federal government owns too much land and generally oversteps the authority afforded to it by the Constitution, but occupying a wildlife refuge and spouting complete batshit gibberish conspiracy is not the way to advance that cause.

>inb4 /out/ gets mad their welfare land be taken away

At least Fry should. I listened to his YouTube broadcasts and he was definitely paranoid and delusional, and not in a "oh they just don't agree with me" sort of way. He reminded me a lot of a schizophrenic room mate I had and the scary shit he would say.
