I dunno but I heard the opaque (non see-through) ones are the most valuable in money terms. If you find any then try to sell it.

Where I live you can find amber on the beaches by the sea. Because amber is so light it is most likely to stay ashore if it's wrapped in/trapped by seaweed, that way the waves wont carry it to sea again.
So, go to your nearest beach after a very windy day, and turn over the seaweed you can find and you might be lucky.

Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna have some amazing specimens, the best in the world actually- well worth the trip.

whats your point?

>>854426
probably not a great idea. static ropes are really bad for descents/ climbing.

>>854513
Paracord isn't really static, it's nylon and has a minimum stretch requirement for when your parachute opens. It's a bad idea to descend with because the safe working load for a single strand is 55 lbs.

you only need to wash your underwear/carry spares.
surely you aren't going to be off the grid the entire 4 weeks.

get merino and wash in creeks and rivers, it wont stink and it dries fast enough

>>854416
I use my stock pot to wash clothing in. It is used for food prep, holding items while hiking, making soap, washing clothing, distilling water, etc.

Make sure the engine is solid. I if it fails or doesn't start when you need it you're funked and adrift. Use quality line not shit from Walmart. Keep a spare anchor as they can snag on the bottom and you have to cut it loose. I boats that die with a retractable keel are good so that you can go in shallow water

Thanks m80, I'll write this down before me and my cousin go check it out.

make sure to check every corner and crack. Make sure you either know how to fix it or get a person to value the price of to fix it. Make sure to check the ropes, chains, sails, and everything else is up to date and aokay. Last thing you want is to buy a piece of shit.
Ps: add some salty hoes to that boat and say ARR alot. Yarr. -Salty Pirate Out Yarr ar.

Cut it in 4ths and rub the innar part on the inside the crease of your elbow joint. Just need to do 5 or 6 passes. Not hard. And watch it for 10 minutes. Post if anything happens..

>inb4 trying to get op to kill himself.

Its to test if hes allergic to it before he goes off and sticks it in his mouth for a taste...

Also need more pictures of the leaves/branch. And bark.

Been around Cape Horn a couple of times, i usually sail out of Montevideo and head south to the Falklands.

Been riding an old fiberglass homemade, it´s basically an unlicensed copy of the Albin Vega. they are common as dirt around here.

Wait, did you mean commercial seafarer? As in merchant fleet?

>>853903

NC1 cox is level 1 commercial captain anon, doesn't have to be merchant fleet (commercial vessels under 12m); diveboats, day trippers, research vessels and the like

Sitting my aural exam in a few days and wondering how others found it

Nice reply though, I know shit-all about sailing, I work on diesel inboard vessels.

Got a job coming up next month though on a sailing cat - I did tell the bloke I dunno about sails, but he said he just needs a Cox. to drive

So i guess I'll learn about sails

What the fuck OP

don't get bird flu

Down isn't really all that expensive to buy. If you count the hours you've put in already, you're way way behind in terms of investment.

You've put in 40 hours already, and you estimate you're 1/3 done. That's 120 hours before you start to wash the down or even make the sleeping bag.

Putting synthetic insulation in the bottom of the sleeping bag serves no purpose. The synthetic will compress, while not as much as down, it still will lose insulation properties when compressed. You also will lose the advantage that down alone has, and thats packability.

Using a synthetic AND down in the same area poses a problem too. If you use a synthetic like Climashield, you can't make any baffles, which are required when using down. It's just more hassle than its worth.

Just use a properly insulated pad as insulation below you.

You CAN however make a top quilt, which many backpackers prefer anyways, since it saves weight and space.

If you've never made a DIY down sleeping bag before, they aren't that easy, but with average sewing skills you can get it done. I've made several synthetic quilts before which is easy, but I've never bothered making a down quilt because of the increase in difficulty.

Bring a notebook and make notes about wildlife,landmarks,gear load out ideas,etc. Maybe a few relaxing podcast if you still have problems sleeping. The more you sleep /out/ the more you will get use to it. Have fun!

that's such a cozy looking fire. let us know how your night out goes

>>853766
Bring a gun... Or bow. I feel like at least having a bow makes me feel just as almost as safe as a gun. There is logical logistical issues when it comes to a bow. Like not being able to fire 6 shots in rapid succession or being able to shoot through your tent easily. And it doesn't get caught on every low hanging branch you walk under.

Isn't that a bit monotonous, anon?

>>853694
I have done that before but I need to experience something more difficult but also not totally unsafe at the same time.

No it doesnt. Only shitlord autists on /out/ think that it does. Fuckin faggots.

>>853601
How are those issued tents?

>>853608

Heavy but comfy. Got this one as a souvenir from Momma Marine Corps. The multicam is pretty effective, too. I've had people be surprised when they walked up on me because they couldn't make it out from a distance. I think you can get them at surplus stores?

parasol mushroom (Macrolepiota procera)

tasty mushroom
fry the caps with some oil
the best ones are the young ones which are just starting to open
the domed ones are good for stuffed mushroom dishes
don't eat the stem it's not tasty

or maybe it's false parasol (Chlorophyllum molybdites) which will make you shit yourself to death

that's the fun of fungi! you never really know!
