Don't take the word of anyone that responds. If you aren't 1000% sure you know what something is and that it's safe to eat, it is to be considered toxic. Day one stuff, bro.

Well, it would help if we knew what you planned on using it for, dipshit.

Alcohol burner or gas burner?

>>1073978
Gas is safest, but can be difficult to get in some places. Alcohol/multifuel stoves are more prepper proof and will work in more ghetto conditions and in more places and you can run a multifuel with kerosene and gasoline and so on.

You can control the gas flame intensity but not alcohol/multifuel so if you plan to cook other than water, like simmer porridge at 25% intensity, or make that innawoods beef Wellington which would make Gordon proud, then gas is the way.

There is no universal answer. It depends on what you want and how you plan to use it, and where.

Of course, keep in mind the dual-use of ethanol as a recreation substance and sterilization/wound cleaning agent.

>>1078252
Dude, just camp in some mountainous region, nobody gives a shit.
Saved you 20k right there.

There's an enormous amount you aren't taking into account here.

Water. No idea how much this will cost. But to be safe, you want to assume that even if you have a source of water that runs with the land, it may become unsafe, so you may need a water truck to come out. Oh, and you'll probably have to get any water source tested every once in a while even if it does stay drinkable, so that'll cost some.

You're probably going to want a shelter so add more cost. And it will need maintenance. Add more cost.

Oh, and transportation. There's some things that you'll need from town, so you'll need some type of vehicle. Add gas, insurance, maintenance, etc. Yes, a pedal bike may do it unless you've got some heavy hauling or are injured.

But, that's all peanuts, in the grand scheme of things. Let's get on to the truly pricey items

Speaking of being injured, let's add in some cash for medical insurance in there. That can easily be thousands a year, even in countries with good systems in place. And it's pretty much guaranteed that this will go up as you get older, even if you don't develop any bad problems.

Also, over time, there will be inflation, so add about 3-4% of the cost to your entire budget each year, maybe even more. Your costs could triple or quadruple in that 40 year timeframe.

I'm not saying it's impossible, and I like the plan at it's face but you've gotta be real about things. I'd get on the ERE website and see how people do van/truck/tent living on the cheap. There's some more realistic numbers on there.

Also, just saving up the cash isn't going to do it. You have to get that cash working, which means becoming savvy with investing.

An alternative plan that has actually worked for a great many folks is this: Work the best paying job you can find, cut your expenses, buy the smallest home you need and pay it off, dump everything into an index fund, and you're done.

HTH

>even in countries with good systems in place.
In countries with good medical systems, medical insurance is normally zero

A Kelty Cosmic 0 series bag might be the closest thing within your price range thats going to reliable enough.

>>1077951
Surplus USGI modular sleep system. With both bags and the bivvy cover they're comfy to around -10*F and you'll get by down to around -25*F. Can be had as a complete system in okay shape for around $80 in good condition or around $60 in "fair" condition.

I recommended kelty to him as well. Good price to perf...can always add a liner in deep winter.

>>1078018
Great system, but bulky/heavy for backpacking.

Sorry for the bad English, not my first language

Its going to be hard to compete with major brands anon. Going head to head with major brands in terms of functionality wont do you any good. Try going the aesthetic route instead. Emulate traditional mountain clothing with modern technology.

>>1075386
Me and my pal were thinking about taking some of the design of more modern clothing and reduce the price a bit (by getting rid of some unnecessary features usually) but still keeping the quality up.

>I don't really see many situations where I'd need a knife.

Not trying to be a dick, but that would only imply you haven't spent enough time outdoors/hiking/camping/hunting/fishing/surviving.

>>1075086
I'm not particularly interested in hunting or fishing

>>1074711
Teach the boy how to build a fire then roast marshmallows. Fun for the whole senpai. Go on a hike and bang your wife in the woods.

>>1074712
Pretty good advice right here.

/out/ consensus on hunting, it is cool as long as you follow two rules:
1. you eat what you kill or at least wear its fur, trophy hunting is a sin!
2. you hunt butt naked and kill with your bare hands to honor the goddess. Handax is already cheating!

>>1072846
Get a .22LR and start with small game, like squirrels and rabbits. Try to make some friends with experienced hunters, knowledge of good locations and techniques is worth significantly more than gear.

Depending on where you live, turkey could also be a good starter hunt because all you need is a shotgun, camo clothes, and a call.

>>1072846

Two important things:

>Learn where the heart and lungs are in any animals you may have to/want to kill. Aim for the heart/lungs. Those are the most realistically hittable targets (brain shots are a fucking meme) that offer a guaranteed kill that results in a quick death.
>Use as much of the animal as you can. Hides for clothing/bags/etc, sinew for cordage, brains for tanning (almost every animal has enough brains to tan their own hide), bones for stock/tools/handles, organs for cooking/bait

Additional: Never panic if something big and prone to violence comes crashing at your ass, like a bear. Keep your cool and drill it in the heart/lungs if you can't scare it off.

This is pretty neat! How come we couldn't play in Summer? I thought we advanced...

/out/ indeed advanced, however a rather major event called The Cull occured were multiple teams (including /out/) with perceived low/no board interest were killed off for the greater good.
https://implyingrigged.info/wiki/Rigged_Wiki:News/The_Cull_Revisited

I have taken the task of reviving /out/ so they can play again in Autumn.

google is a better tool for finding this out

>>1068804
It's a nice subject to talk about, no?

only one universal #1 rule:
>in a price range that you're okay using it
after that it's up to you
