Check Sabatia angularis

They have awesome warranties and membership programs but those benefits are built into their costs. Not sure if I would trust their bike mechanics.

They try to do everything so are not really good at anything IE they have a lot of breadth but not a lot of depth.
A lot of what they do is sell overpriced clothing to people who wear it shopping or dog walking
Their staff ranges from super knowledgeable to clueless.
They will try to sell you stuff that you don't want/need because it is overstocked

However, they are the only brick and mortar store of it's kind in my area so I go at least once a year.

Get the membership

I guess it wouldn't hurt to check em out. I'll probably tread with caution

Getting drunk is for college kids. I'm an adult.

Really? No one else here counting down the days to the open of the season?

If I make a prim tech bow and use it to hunt shit on my property will police give me shit because I don't have my hunters?

I've been pretty busy this summer and didn't think of hunting season. I guess I'm abut a month and a half to waterfowel season here. Thanks for the reminder.

I'l just start with a few of my favourite shots... and keep going if anyone cares or whatever.

>Tent
Clearly, you're going tent camping

>Sleeping bag
>Stuff you want to eat and drink, enough for two days
>Three gallons of water, one per day, one to put out fire
>Means of starting a fire, matches or a lighter will do
>A lightweight tinder, paper is an easy/cheap option
>Means of putting out fire, water to extinguish, shovel to smother with dirt
>Change of clothes + appropriate time of year jacket/coat
>Raincoat
>Hat, baseball cap works
>Flashlight
>Some kind of bug repellent, smoke can work but only for so long
>Sun screen
>Trashbags. Do not be THAT group.

All of this is to be packed for yourself (minus the tent, anyone could bring that), and should not be relied upon someone else to bring it for the group. Be sure that you're prepared in case everyone else fucks up.

If you're sticking to a groomed campsite you can reach from the road, that's really all you need. If you're going hiking, you SHOULD prepare by having more important essentials essentials: first aid kit, spare water, spare food, "survival" stuff like that. That's why most of those lists online are so long, is it is also preparing for the event of something going wrong. You SHOULD prepare for something to happen to you or one of your friends, but if it's a morning/overnight/evening trip it's "not as important."

As for tubing, water isn't my forte because I'm a pussy and hate/fear/respect open and moving water. I imagine a life vest is going to be legally required anywhere you go, so a life vest at least. Maybe water shoes that won't come off your feet? I'm no help here.

Also, check your areas' fire risk. A lot of places are having dry spells and are tinderboxes for wildfires. Build small fires, and keep an eye on your grill at all times.

This list is only what I could think of in a short amount of time. As a last note, tell someone you trust where you're going and for how long. It's a guarantee that someone will come looking for you if something happens.

Yay! Thank you

pretty much this although imo don't need a shovel
if you're bringing cooking oil, fyi olive oil has spf 15 to double as sunscreen

16 km per second is pretty fast...

I remember camping in the Norwegian winter when I was 12. Some days we got 24 hr complete night and other days 24 hr complete daylight.

Do you mean camping, faggot?

Ruger 10-22 takedown.

>>828001
I had one and it's a total piece of shit. It will only fire certain ammo, even then it jams every few shots. The sights are so bad you can't hit anything beyond 20ft. The only way to get better sights is with a scope but then you loose the ability to store it in its own stock, which is too fat and feels wierd.

>>828013
This. Or a Marlin Papoose if you can find one.

>>827988
Yeah mate. Depends on what but anything to knock down the fucking ridiculous prices we get over here.

count me in

This is a great idea because pretty much anything i find at a decent price ovetseas suddenly becomes about the same as overpriced gear here.

2 person tent

Or be a hammock fag

>>826877

better insulation or because of my size?

>>826880
Even regular sized people often find single person tents uncomfortable. And two normal people should get a 3-person. Hammock will be nice for the heat if you like that sort of thing.

Given the lack of /out/ women I'd imagine just going with any group of /out/ guys is gonna get freaky. Just a guess desu.

>>824307
I'm not trying to get freaky as much as like lets say listen to cheesy euro techno while we canoe.

>>824293
My friends and I aren't gay but we always mess around on our trips /out/.

You can have lightweight or you can have eggs. Personally on a three day hike I'll have a very heavy breakfast the first morning with corned beef hash and eggs, but there are decent freeze dried solutions also. Have fun!

>>821429
I hunt with a guy who assures me that if he doesn't have eggs for breakfast he will die. So I have watched him haul a dozen or so eggs up many mountains many times and he gets by ok.

There is no real need to refrigerate eggs. They'll last slightly longer if you do but there would be no detectable difference over a 3 day hike. My buddy eats them after a week in his pack and they've never put his guts in a bad way.

>>821429
Eggs don't need to be refrigerated at all, ever. They don't even last longer when refrigerated. You can keep them for weeks.
