Def not that shit gerber.

Dunno why they'd make a pummel that's made to hit shit with, not attack it to the tang.

Also shit tang.
Shit steel.
Crap serrations.

Sheath is kinds though.

Go get yourself a schrade, becker, esee, even Sog. Just stay away from Gerber, unless it is their shit from like 80s and really early 90s. Those ones are decent.

Survival knives are for tryhard children who fantasize about non-existent survival situations because they have no control over their pathetic lives

santa's going to have some logistic problems this year.

>>848451

Do most bolts have some universal current?... or are some strikes more powerful than others? Cause it doesn't make sense that one bolt can kill multiple living things close to the size of a human, but not kill some humans.

I'm not a scientist, but I imagine so....like with static shocks

apart from topsy, I don't think edison ever did experiments electrocuting animals to see how much juice it took to kill them

I kinda hope Tracy goes a long way, just to break the stereotype. Kinda the same way Sam did.

>>846389
>I'm surprised Sam lasted that long, he really became a man out there.


Sam location was literally someone's backyard. Everyone else was a reasonable distance from other humans.

What that? Should eat?

Climbing rope tends to be a bit stiffer than shitty camping rope due to the way it's designed. The extra stiffness provides a tiny bit of extra resistance when sliding through a rappel device. I'm doubtful that this is really the deciding factor here though. More likely you've just underestimated the amount you need to pull down when locking off. That said, get actual climbing rope when you do this.

Looks like a chanterelle, if it is it's edible

>>852796
>>852803
Yeah prob a chanterelle. But dig it up, spore print it, and make sure you check the boxes. This shroom has a look a like that's poisonous.

See here: http://mushroom-collecting.com/mushroomchanterelle.html

>>852796
>What that? Should eat?
I'm just going to start replying in the affirmative every time I see one of these threads. There are threads for identification of edible things already up, check the catalog and use those instead of making a new thread every time you have a question. Board culture, learn it.

Uh oh, forgot links!

(I also use Open Cycle Map for finding cycle routes): http://www.opencyclemap.org/
Walk4life (for free OS maps): http://www.walk4life.info/find-a-walk

had a nice map downloader that could scrape images from various places and make some huge aerial views...forgot the name

still looking for suggestions for offline gps apps for saving points of interest

I use map marker to mark down cool locations i want to remember. I dont use trails so i dont use a trail mapper. I work at a state library and have access to our rare book and map room and sometimes find old mining and logging camps to explore

This is what it looked like a few months ago

If the little whitish things on the leaves are little dusty specks rather than hairs its some kind of lambs quarter. Lambs quarter has been grown as a food for a long time though not so much these days. Tastes kinda like spinach (use/cook it the same way) and is very good for you.

It the leaves are hairy don't eat it. Don't know what it is but i know to leave it alone.

There are these tiny identification manuals you can take with you in forests.

Please do not make yourself go through a slow, agonizing death caused by liver/kidney failure, again, caused by eating the wrong mushrooms.

Be smart, be safe!

It looks like part of the Russula family.
Where did you pick it? What type of forest?
If it was near a beech tree, really don't eat it.
If you are in north america and it wasn't near a beech tree it is probably Russula rugulosa, which is edible.
You shouldn't eat it though.

Always eat the unidentified mushrooms so that the kids won't. Must protect the children of tomorrow

If you live near the coast you can probably rent some different kayaks to get an idea of what you want before you buy. Also some marine shops have tryout days so you can demo various different boats. That's better than getting advice on the internets, since we don't know the local water conditions and the kind of stuff you intend to do.

Flatwater paddling is really easy to get started, just look up some basic paddle strokes on youtube. Whitewater and surf can make it pretty tricky.

You can transport with tie down straps and pool noodles if you need to.

Get one like pic related if you are a beginner, especially if you want to take it out on the ocean eventually. These sit-on-top types have a lot of advantages.
>never have to bail them out
>tough plastic material
>you wont get caught inside if it overturns
>easy to modify
>storage compartment on the inside
>if you're in the ocean the surf wont endanger your kayak
>lots of work space for fishing and gear
The aren't a traditional boat by any means, and they do leave you a little exposed to the sun and whatnot, but overall they are pretty good.

What bike do you have?

>>851408
And you are leaving soon? This route is perfect; biking in the snow is an absolute joy. So you have that to look forward to before you freeze to death.

Plus ego trips are always a good idea. Friends and family are such losers.
