Should I remove teeth, do this process, then put them back in? Or will the peroxide work it's way in?

Dutch ovens are pretty nice for cooking, but really heavy. Not sure why the length of trip matters but I sure wouldn't want to carry it in my pack.

Would it be worth it to use innawoods if you can't bring a sack of potatoes?

I am a big fan of external frame backpacks, but there are some pros and cons. An external is wonderful at distributing weight and makes carrying things a breeze. You can strap loads of shit onto it so you can easily become a human pack mule. The frame also keeps the pack away from your back so they breathe very well, which is a huge plus for someone like me who sweats a lot. They also have the "classic" look if that's your thing. They also aren't super popular nowadays compared to internals, so you can usually get them extremely cheap and in good condition if you go the used route. I have a Kelty Yukon that was in pretty much new condition that I bought for $30 on ebay.
However, they are not perfect, of course. They are very bulky, so they take up a lot of space, which is not ideal if you are going through areas with lots of low hanging branches or tight spaces. They also tend to load a little top heavy unless you are very careful with how you load things in the pack, so they are not very ideal for rock climbing or overly craggy terrain, as they can fuck with your balance a bit in those situations. But if you want to carry a lot of gear, they are wonderful, So I think they are nice if you are a hunter or if you are a backpacker/hiker (if you aren't part of the ultralight crowd).

Internal frame is lighter and more compact but if it breaks (which it can easily) you need to buy a complete new pack

External are a little heavier and bulkier but are cheap and easy to fix and more durable

In terms of how much you can carry internal frames especially expedition packs can carry more than you'll need, but with external frames you can strap a lot more to the outside of your pack making it more accessable

>>851283
That first sentence isn't true, a lot of internal frame packs can be repaired by either the manufacturer or a gear shop. If the frame breaks most manufacturers will send you a new one.

Externals are easier to repair DIY style, but to say you can't fix an internal pack is inaccurate.

having fun at a party

Was hiking my local stretch of the App. trail and walked across a few black baggies full of dog shit tied around tree branches.
>reeeeeeeeee etc.

I would mention it at a doctor's appointment first. I have tendinitis in my right knee from a football injury and to me it just doesn't seem like your boots cause it.

imo you can try go to a doctor but it's a waste of time with stuff like this. they are about as clueless as your average dog when it comes to these pains. stretch it more when it doesn't hurt and try working out on your calves get a feel for how many repetitions cause pain. you can try to decrease repetition and increase weight.

i fucked up my knees during a hike well it was 2 consecutive hikes and i did not rest enough between them. what fixed it for me was lifting weights doing squats with 200+ lbs. after a few weeks the pain stopped and never returned before that for years my leg could barely support my weight.

trial and error see what works. maybe new shoes will work. who knows?

>>851168
I have it from wearing boots when I was a paramedic, I have crippling pain and stiffness in my ankles every day that I wake up

Yeah bud. Mid SC/GA border here. Went /out/ to a nice wetland park and chilled for the day. Saw some cool birds, identified a few mushrooms; shit was dope.

I live in the middle of a city and have no car, so actually getting /out/ is rarer than I'd like.
I did go for a walk in the park though. Better than nothing, it almost feels like you aren't surrounded by streets in some places. Here's a shitty picture of a woodpecker in the same park from a while ago

>2kg for a bag AND tent
It's going to abrade like crazy and will only be good for 60+ degree weather.

Just get a hammock. Less than $100 and 2 pounds. Everyone swears by them except that Pepsifag

I used an REI quarter dome when I did a 5 day solo hike in Colorado, and it was super comfy. It was sturdy enough to survive a hailstorm pretty easily, and roomy enough to make things quite comfy. It's ~2 pounds, but it's about as minimalist as a solo tent gets.

I'm the gainesville/lake newnan anon

I went out a couple days ago and caught 4 crappie and a couple of bass. Thanks a lot to whoever recommended me the white powerbait grubs cause that's what I caught all the specs on.

Pic related got me 2 bass and another that pulled drag for a good 5-6 seconds and broke me off on underwater trees. Had to have been atleast 4-5 lbs. I think pepsi told me to try out finesse worms like two months ago and now I want more cause these things worked great.

Got another river smallmouth today. Also a 7" baby striper. It was an alright day of fishing.

newfriend here

are you not supposed to pass your line through a very small loop close to the rod handle? is that where you store your hook?

dont laugh pls

Get a job that gets you /out/ like ranger or lineman. Not sure about gf, but you could try going hiking in organized groups. You're bound to find a girl there sooner or later.

You don't. Prioritise one or the other. You can have both but there is only one priority.

>Choices

>>850489
Get an /out/ job, find an /out/ girl

>>850019
Yes it is, just wash them good and leave them to dry at room temperature for like a day or two (they should become yellowish), then you'll be able cook them.

Will there be mods or just vanilla with a few plugins?

>>850011
There's custom mods for board factions and alliances with chat channels, as well as block reinforcement. Older versions used the Factions plugin, but this one's a weird experiment. There's a few other things like anti-xray and other exploit fixes, but for the most part it's Vanilla.

so what is the point?
