Holy shit this guy is a genius. Can't wait to see what that giant mud thing is being used for.

Highlight of the week for me, familia

>camping in Scotland
>forestry commision rangers, one dude with dredds and one landwhale in a shitty old 4x4 meet us on the hike down
>we all reek of smoke and two of us are have axes visable about our person
>Exchange small talk
>"They're perfectly fine to wild camp here as long as there are no fires or vehicles right landwhale?"
>"Right hippy guy... Have you lads been having a fire?"
>pokerfaceactivated.png
>"No, we actually just like to carve wood! See!"
>show her our shitty hand whittled spoons and the little wooden Mjolnir made of birch burl on my pack
>exchange awkward talk about how that's a bit creepy but still ok as long as we're not felling trees
>they drive off and we leave

Such is life in the UK.

Remember Anon. Physical proof of your excuse to be doing something you shouldn't trumps everything else, no matter how ballsy or unlikely. If you dangle it in front of their faces, they'll believe.

-pocketable waterproof jacket
-shemagh, beanie, gloves
Throw in a jacket and/or extra layers for colder times

>>817632
How warm or cold does it get in New Zealand? Is it mountainous, hilly, or generally flat?

>>817691
Terrain varies widely but all of the above essentially. Outside winter 0celcius might be the coldest and up to 35ish in summer if you're lucky. Fair amount of rain can occur anytime outside summer really

PB and Tortillas

>>796550
Vermicelli & a tube of tomato paste (not a can) - Vermicelli cooks in 4-5 minutes, and a tube of paste will be thicker and more concentrated than a can, and has less trash to haul out. Make sure you also have a little plastic bottle of olive oil (easy to find a small plastic bottle at a dollar store). You can also bring a baggie of dry parmesan and spices.

Kraft Mac & Cheese - Ditch the box and put the noodles in a ziplock. Put the sauce in another ziplock with a teaspoon of skim milk powder. Use olive oil instead of butter. Plenty of other pasta side options as well.

Uncle Ben's Ready Rice - It's already cooked so all you have to do is boil the entire pouch for a bit. Make sure to tear a corner first. Don't use this as a staple because it's not particularly calorie dense. Chicken flavor with Tabasco is great.

Instant oatmeal. Brown sugar flavor is best because it's got more calories. Takes 2-3 packets to make a meal. You can also switch it up by using instant steel cut oats with brown sugar, cinnamon, and raisins. Very filling, very calorie dense.

Idahoan Instant Mashed Potatoes. Really filling, and warms you right up. Kinda salty though, and you might want to break one package down into two meals using snack-sized ziplocks. You can also consider adding skim milk powder.

Individual foil packets of tuna, chicken salad, or chicken breast chunks if you can get it. There's also "Libby's Seasoned Beef Crumbles" which is an alleged ground beef packet that requires no refrigeration. All kinds of stuff you can do with these, like hamburger helper or trail tacos. Just open a corner of the packet and stick it in boiling water to warm it up. Might want to try it at home first because it might not agree with you.

Other things to experiment with would be smoked cheeses like gouda, and dry salami. Both should be stable enough to bring with you on the trail without refrigeration, but I personally haven't tried it.

If you don't want to cook, make nutella sandwiches with white flour tortillas. Nutella keeps for a month or so after opening with no refrigeration, and tortillas will keep for a week or more. Also GORP. GORP GORP GORP. If there's a bulk store nearby you can make your own for reasonably cheap.

>~150g spaghetti of choice
>one bag of powdered """"carbonara"""" sauce
>powdered milk for ~2.5dl water
>some coriander or whatever you want

1. Boil the spaghetti for it's required duration minus 2 minutes
2. Pour out all but ~2.5dl of water
3. Add both powders and coriander
4. Stir until it thickens
5. ????????
7. PROFIT

One meal will set you back about a dollar fifty. Alternatively you go full Viet Cong mode and just bring a bag rice.

You could go full meme tacticool and get one of the large Cobra buckles.

Could you please post a pic of the buckle and how its connected to your ruck?

Because - perhaps - its possible for you to abandon plastic and go the metal way, puic related.

>>834832

They work okay, especially if you're trying to cut something you don't have good access to.... like a stump or tree under a few feet of snow, that your snowmobile's hung up on.

I typically prefer a folding saw. The coghlans ones are cheap enough I don't care if I lose/break it.

Drive north into the UP in Michigan and hit Pictured Rocks. That's an awesome trail but pretty far. Where you're at, there are tons of shorter trail in southwest Michigan. I would bet there are things in Wisconsin too but I've never hiked there. How far are you willing to drive?

Nutsedge has edible corms on its roots you can harvest. The false one doesn't.

Went down Nantahala once

Never done unguided tho

Hell yeah I've been rafting. If you find a good guide outfit, you'll have a blast. If not, it's still fun. But a good river guide well take you down the dangerous chutes, flip you when it's fun, then share beers and stories at the fire afterwards. I've done the New and Gauley rivers in WV, I highly recommend them both, but the Gauley is only open for rafting for about a month each year. The Gauley is supposedly the roughest river east of the Mississippi, and I can attest to that. Don't be afraid when you flip, it's all part of the fun. I started going in college, been down the rivers about a dozen times now, have never regretted going on a trip. Do some rafting anons!

rafting is fun but you need to do it with fun people.
its one of those things that starts feeling less wild the more you do it. unless you take it upon yourself to make it fun and have a good time.

Own two. One's the USGI modular system bivy(pic related), one's the OR Alpine. Have more experience w/ the OR. AMA

For the record, I also have two tents but most frequently use a tarp.

Should I take protein powder to just put in everything?

If you're doing a lot of activity and need calorie dense food just get peanutbutter.
