Do you think 2 quarts will work?

>>829654
Nope. Double that, at least. More if hot weather or steep terrain.

>>829529
I could never get into ray mears should i give him another shot?

I've become more 'comfy' as i have aged.

>>829531
Well if you are going to, Wild Food is no survival show, it's a docco exploring food principles most of us have forgotten, I found it fascinating.

You watched Ed Staffords show?

Go with clearance stuff. I wear skate/bmx shoes around most of the time and I always stop by Zumiez and other similar stores in the mall to check out their clearance section when I'm nearby. I wear a size 13 so it's a little larger than most people and I can normally find a pair or two of $100 shoes for $60 that I like. Might be a little more difficult if you wear a size 10, but not impossible.

How can you justify owning $1,000 in shoes?

Just don't litter and 95% of people won't care or notice.

>>829523
It's the same with the weed smoking thing. As long as you aren't causing other problems, nobody will care. If anything, just tell the ranger you will go into withdrawls without it and he will have a seizing and dead alchoholic on his hands. Does he really want to deal with that?
>inb4 anon claims him and his 9 friends weren't causing any problems when park ranger came and wrote them all tickets and confiscated their keg at 3am

Pour a handle of Jack into an empty bottle of Liptons Ice Tea, bring Coke.

If its prohobited, avoid glass, or beer. Takes up room, lots of weight. Hard booze is your go to.

As someone who's always wanted to do at least part of the Pacific Crest Trail, how did you pack for this trip? Always concerned about overloading my pack with shit I'll end up not needing

I had a sprained knee after doing some high mile days right before the midpoint. I've taken 2.5 weeks off to let it get better, might see a physical therapist too. Probably going to skip up to Oregon once i return.

>>829298
Also sorry to hear that bro.

>>829268

>>I was planning to kill myself last night but then I figured why not do something amazing instead?

if you plan on killing yourself at some point during the trail just do it out of sight and put out your fire first.

>>829268
Dude i'd just go out west instead. The east is pretty shit for /out/ stuff.

>>829276
Plan on doing this one because the starting point is close

shit comes from butts

Hey yeti salesman plz give me a job or a rebate or something

>>829138

i'm asian, not originally from the south, drive an imported sedan, don't own any Columbia fishing shirts or Vineyard Vines oversized orange polos, and i don't have the shaggy Justin Bieber haircut.

so no, i'm not a Yeti consumer and definitely not in their sales department.

Most of the ugly stik combos in almost any store are decent for the money and they can be as cheap as around $35 or so for a spinning combo but as with anything in the lowest price ranges I would use it until you can afford something better or just get a few of the cheap ones and swap out so it slows wear and tear on the cheap reels they use for the combos.

>>829105
They will be shit at this price point. Sorry.
Save up and get an ugly stik elite or gx2. Pair that with a pflueger president reel. Will come in around $100 total.

Finding a group of folks that ice climb could be a start. If you are in an area with a lot of ice climbing in winter you can probably find rental boots/crampons.

Though to be honest, the best way is to hire a guide for a weekend. A guide would be better than others at teaching you the technique and could provide equipment.

Things to consider. Clothing is a key component. Ice climbing you'll yo-yo between really warm and really cold. When climbing you'll warm up, when hanging around you'll cool off. So dressing in layers and having a big puffy jacket that's easy to take on and off will help a lot. Pants that are trim around the ankles will help you with walking around. Crampons are tricky to learn to move around with.
Helmets are mandatory. Ice falls, it's part of the game. Make sure that your harness fits correctly with the additional layers on.

Basically this.

Lena lake in the Olympics is beautiful

>>829022
Oregonfag here, so not a lot of time in washington, but the olympic park is pretty nice. I went up to the hot springs, appleton pass, boulder lake, and they were all super beautiful. No dogs in the park though.

Mongolia is like an /out/ amusements park. You can do anything here in all sorts of climates. I went for eastern Mongolia because it is less traveled. Climbed some holy mountains, did some horse riding, visited some places that were important to Chinggis Khaan and learned to shoot a bow from a Mongolian master.

Traveling in Mongolia can be expensive though. To get anywhere you need a car, or a motorcycle if you're into that. I also couldn't find any decent maps here, so I was forced to get a guide for some parts. All these things cost a lot of money and locals just assume you're a rich tourist so they're hard to bargain down.
Also, the Mongolians revere nature as a deity, but they leave their trash everywhere. Most families live off the land but they don't practice leave no trace here.


Pic is my guide as were riding up to the top of Burkhan Khaldun, one of the Khentii Mountains in the Khentii Province of northeastern Mongolia. The mountain or its locality is believed to be the location of Genghis Khan's tomb. It is also the birthplace of one of his most successful generals, Subutai. The mountain is part of the 12,000 square kilometres (4,600 sq mi) Khan Khentii Strictly Protected Area established in 1992. It had strong religious significance before Genghis Khan made it a powerful landmark, but is considered the most sacred mountain in Mongolia since it was designated as sacred by Genghis Khan. It was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 4 July 2015 under the title "Great Burkhan Khaldun Mountain and its surrounding sacred landscape." Under a Presidential Decree of 1955 the worship of this mountain has been formalised and the mountain declared a national monument. Its ecosystem is complex with unique biodiversity with flora of the Central Asian steppe. It has 50 species of fauna and 253 species of birds.

>trying to visit every trig point/station in my state
so this is sort of like geocaching?
>some of you have also dealt with fences when walking and exploring.
Leave the gates as you found them is the rule

>>828530

What do you do when you get there, jack off on them? What's the fucking point?

>explicitly denied permission
What did they say exactly? How much of a jerk were you to be denied permission to walk around and look at shit?

Bumping once. Not a single one? Is there a better board for this?

1) Get a bud/old man to go diving every weekend even in shitty lakes if that's all you got.
2) Save your money. If you want to have any amount of experience or go any further, you need a couple 1000 easy. Sure you can skate by for a while on cheap shit but soon you will have to step it up if you want to go more than one trip a year.
3) DON'T STOP DIVING. Once you're out of the life it's hard getting back in. Other life shit comes up and you'll hang up your suit to dry once and it will forever collect dust. Serious. If you want to do dis for real, don't be a pussy and keep at it

I prefer this variety pack. Local, honed, something for everyone if you like beer. Never leave your cans laying around - you dips.
