>thinking about getting a mountain bike, what kind do you have and what brand is best?


depends what you wanna do and how much you want to spend.
I used to dirt jump for years and BMX, broke my wrist so I gave up. BMX but now I am bored and want to get back in to mountain biking.


not really sure what you want but I live in Vancouver and want to start hitting the north shore and also want to do long trail riding, so I'm looking for a possibly all mountaim style bike.

I make these spoons.

>>856718
I have wanted to make spoons for some time. Do you pound them out and shape them yourself, or do you buy plain spoons and dress them up?

>>856726
I myself bash/twist whatever shape I want. Some are plain old spoons just painted some are twisted. Depends on the type of bait I am trying to fake. I found a slightly twisted bright yellow with red/blue mix works great. Different anon by the way

First of all, DO NOT ATTEMPT to weekend in a dessert without a combine harvester (see pic related), other than that, bring plenty of water obviously.

>>856651
Truth.

>What kind of firepower should i bring?
A decent knife. And by knife I mean a good pocket knife or at most a small fixed blade not some big ass tacticool wannabe combat knife.

>How much food and water should a bring?
Depends on what you will be doing and how long you're going to be out. Personally I usually go through around 3-4 liters a day when hiking in the desert. Depending on what food you plan on eating you may need more for cooking. If you're car camping and weight is no issue just buy a bunch of gallon jugs and you should be fine.

>What kind of gear will i need?
Tent, tarp, sleeping bag decent boots, Water bottles and/or bladders. Whatever Cooking gear you need to prepare your meal.

>Are there any safety precautions i should know?
Don't be a dumbass. Learn to recognize the symptoms of heatstroke and dehydration and what to do if you experience them.(Move to shade and sip( Not chug) water). Also find out ahead of time where you'll be able to refill on water.

He wasn't too cute once he tried to insert his mouth parts into my finger because he thought I was a tree, but up until then he was adorable.

Your pic related reminded me of what happens last Friday. These guys were chilling in my pool

>>856425
Op here, it feels so good Man, i feel like i'm gonna do it everyday now

>>856425
what did you do exactly?

>>856475
it' my first time going /out/ so don't shit on me for doing not much, but 10 km of bicycling in the woods/ crops

my aera is not flat also, lots of uphill and downhill

of course i expect doing much more, going for days and sleeping in the woods

You have to remember it was a way of life for these people to build stuff and work their asses off. They grew up building houses like this and they used their horses to help move the logs instead of their pals. Big hunks of dried pine also aren't that heavy.

I imagine that some of them would have family, some would have had horses or donkeys that they could use to haul things. And they were tough from living a life of labouring.

It's pretty impressive regardless. Look at those roof logs, imagine getting those in place. It would require a generous application of improvised levers and pulleys, I would think.

>>856188
Wood loses a shitload of weight once it is dry.

Would be heavy and hard work, but not impossibly by any means.

4Chan.

Look up the Maine hermit. He survived in the woods alone through petty theft, he would rob lake cabins and camps when they were empty.

bump
I would love to join you but I live in the UK and am tied down due to various complications.
Best of luck anon, it's an awesome thing you're doing, perhaps try asking on other outdoors/canadian/cancer trust websites and forums if you don't get a good enough response here.
Do you have a route planned out and enough money to make this happen? I'd love to do this sort of thing one day

>>856009

>get saltwater fishing advice from an autistic horse furry that goes saltwater fishing or from someone who makes every excuse possible to not go saltwater fishing

I'm gonna go with autismo on this one. Stop giving saltwater fishing advice if you don't go saltwater fishing.

>>855833
Shit, I told anon not to take advice from the stuff I wrote on pastebin and ask locally instead.

Who's prepping for fly fishing this fall? Just made these over the weekend.making some hare's ears next.

I need to work fast, spent too much time tying a full box of nymphs and leech patterns for my uncle.

Also just bought a new 8'6" 5 wt. 4 piece so I can put it in a backpack.

Planning to do a few overnight stays in NH, VT, western Mass and maybe upstate NY where my uncle lives.

shameful bump because I'm an eager man.

Dont bother buying a cot just get a air mat if you really wanted. Weighs less and is more compact compared to a cot. A cot is meant for semi perm camping ie longer then a month.

honestly op, get a decent rope hamac, these things are cheap as fuck and the rope can save your ass in a dire situation :) they fit everywhere! Carry a small tarp to put overhead and you have a waterproof shelter over ground level and its actually very confortable :D

Find some time and just go out you retard it's that simple

>>855562
Your lifestyle probably allows it, you just need to prioritize going out over being a social butterfly.

>>855562
>I work a busy job (that I enjoy)
Just from that statement I can tell you're in America, you're always 25 miles away from the perfect camping place, make sure to plan ahead, make a huge date out of going out, and try to do it every weekend.

Here is a pic of pond when its hydrated

Water dries up because it evaporates and forms because there's a depression there. You would have to dig really far down to even hit the water table and it wouldn't just spring forth and keep your pond filled.

Theres a pond about every 1/4 mile in my area.
Most were dug to water livestock in the old days.
Some are fed by springs and are full year round, some are seasonal like yours.
I have a small pond myself that fills up from water seeping out of the mountainside during the rainy season- but its been dry for months.

Its possible that you could hit an artesian well- that's a well that because of geology the water is pressurized and will come to the surface on its own once a pathway is drilled for it.
Most likely though you would just get a normal well- water level would be below the surface and need to pumped out.

Springs/artesian wells are common here in central Georgia, I would research your area to find out if its even common.

Cost would be a couple grand to drill it

Are you a pussy just give yourself an enema
