Life jacket.

Beer holder.

And a case of beer

Playing music and making noise in general is one of the best things you can do when making camp to deter predatory animals from visiting.

Out approved/10

>celtic/instrumental master race here

I play guitar in a local park sometimes, either on a waterfall or ontop of a few different rocks by a lake. But I can't bring the thing out camping or something which s a shame.

Depends on what the music is

The Microphones and Mount Eerie are nice while innawoods

OP here. I'm looking for ideas on heating a truck camper top during the winter for camping.

Just run hose from exhaust into it'll keep you nice and toasty

German engineering

it's basically impossible to sanitize the hinge area of these blades. ...something to consider

>>827459
Can't you just dip the whole thing in boiling water or alcohol or something?

>>827459

op here, wow I never thought about that

are lockblades generally regarded as a bad hunting / cooking knife then?

>>825511

>get bored really fast
Only boring people get bored
Why are you so dull and uninteresting?

Loaded my Bonneville and took a trip from San Diego to Moab, Utah. Was an amazing time.

>tips
I like what I did:
-Cargo net over milsurp back on my banana seat
-strap additional gear via the backpack's straps THROUGH the cargo net.
-D-ring other shit to the bag's molle strips also through the cargo net.
-tank bag is a given
-Random milsurp pouch niggarigged to my handlebars.


>tips
-Make sure theres no metal shit on your gear that may chaffe and fuck up your moto's paint. eg: metal buttons or fasteners
-ZIP TIES
-Zip tie the fuck out of everything to hunker down your gear to the bike. Stops stuff from shifting around and being shitty. Buy a pack of 100 or more and go nuts.
-be a ziptie whore each time you reload the bike
-Do all scheduled maintenance early. (get your oil change/tire change done before the trip)
-bring lots of chain lube. You're gonna want a smooth ride.
-Riding through the hot ass desert, when taking a break at gas stations, throw your jacket and helmet in their ice chest outside.

>>825116
That sounds so damn cool. Any pics of the bike all packed up?

If you just got interested in /out/ you shouldn't spend too much on gear. Buy something cheap. If you find out you really like /out/ then only buy stuff that you really want/like.

Even for a dayhike think in advance, what you're going to do? What you're going to need? In addition to that you should have some basic 'surival gear' to get you out alive if everything goes wrong. That includes some sort of rain cover if you don't have a tent (a tarp), a way to start a fire (a bic lighter with esbit tablets or something) and a way to boil water for drinking (a metal container). Maybe insect repellent depending on where your going. You're on /k/ so you probably know how important a good knife is.

>what should I look for in a ruck
that it fits you. Everything else is a matter of preference.

>Light Infantry packs
>Infantry
Do as you like, but /out/ generally prefers gear made for out, not for war.

Look up "the 5 c's for survival"
Start small.

Survival in normal living conditions is really child's play, that's why there are things like the boy scouts.

Stay in your backyard for a day with a pen and paper. Write down what you need as it comes to you. I know it sounds stupid but nature will give you the answers.

10 mins in; hmm it's awfully hot, I should dress light
30 mins in; hmm it's awfully sunny I should bring a hat/shades
4 hours in; hmm I'm awfully hungry, I should bring snacks

I'm busting your balls a little but I'm not lying.

>>822895
If you're not in a hurry, why not lurk here a little
We have this thread every week

if where smart i would ask this on shroomery or something, but i cant remember my password.

>>820085
also is it true that if you lick it, and it does not "bite back" then its most likely not poisonous?

or can you feel nothing after licking it and it could still do harm?

>>820087
Nonononononononononono.

Bic Lighters and a ferro rod.

And as fat as finding dry kindling when it is wet you could learn how to feather sticks. It is a really useful trick even when it isn't wet.

Ignition source? Lighter or storm matches most of the time. I have a Flint and steel but mostly for emergencies.

Tinder? Birch bark works great, old man's beard, pine cones/needles if dry enough. If I'm bringing my own dryer lint or cotton balls with some vegetable oil. If it's just a backyard fire I like those little paraffin and sawdust nuggets you get at the hardware store.

>>819056
Cheap matches are my primary way to start fires. It's just quick and convenient.

Storm matches in case the weather is incredibly shitty.

I also carry 2 cheap lighters as a backup because shit weights nothing.

Backup ferro ferod, too.

>sugar
>palm oil
bleech
Why would I want carry any other liquid than water or alcohol?

>>828186
It's powder you dolt. And there's no palm oil in it.

I drink it a lot as a student, need to get one that's just add water for /out/ings, though. It's pretty useful, keeps you going for a while but most hot drinks do that.

Typically if I use a pillow at all it's my camelbak. Dual purpose.

>>827859
DESU if youre bike camping, just bring a regular pillow, unless you know its gonna get wet. then you can go to a fabric store, pick up some pillow material, and some light/ outdoor type fabric. its what I did, I don't like crunchy pillows.. or really plastic ones, always feel like I'm going to suffocate in my sleep.

HECK, if you don't have the skills, and are state side, paypal me the $ to cover the materials and shipping, and ill sew you up a nice one, with its own stuff sack.

>>827868
A regular pillow is pretty damn big. Space is a I don't have a ton of space. Or are you saying get a normal (throw?) pillow and a stuff sack?

A custom pillow might be a good idea. I'll experiment with the pillows I have in my house and a stuff sack.

oranges come from trees in the first place anon it's no big deal

>>827691
Bottles don't you stupid nigger. Neither do beer cans. STOP LEAVING THEM IN THE WOODS DAMN IT.

>>827694
ok that's fucking weird. i'm literally stashing crushed beer cans in the woods tonight because my landlord is a psycho and looks through the trash to make sure we don't have any "parties"

kek sorry brah

I've never been to Iceland to hike, but I have heard some stories about it (so feel free to shoot me down if I'm incorrect). Apprently you need to take into account that winds can be/ will be pretty strong, so make sure your tent is storm proof. Next, the Laugavegurinn trail is beautiful, but also potentially tough (due to weather) and more and more people are hiking it. The westfjords are very remote I heard, and you could use the bus on the one highway in Iceland to go there (or anywhere near the coast really). Finally, take a look at this site: http://www.northernadventures.co/
