I ment a big spear, half as a joke, half as a traditional way to deal with bears.
So, canadian bears can be reliably reppeled by spray like mosquitoes? Interesting.

>>825069
Nobody gets eaten by bears I guess?

What a sketchy organization. I went on the WWOOF US website just to see what it takes to become a host. It isn't much.

>#1- Are you willing to donate $5-$50 to be published on our list of farms?
Yes
>#2- Are you a registered sex offender?
No
>Awesome! Post your contact info and we will send naive college kids to your home!
Seems legit.

I used a similar service when I was backpacking through Europe. I stayed on a self sufficient farm in Spain for a month and loved it. Also did some other stay in Turkey and Morocco.

The site I use is workaway.info - its amazing, hosts and workers have a profile and are rated/reviewed so at least you have some idea what your getting into.

Im planning on driving around Aus next year and will be utilising this site a lot. Already planning to help a guy build an eco-home out of mud bricks and bottles and stay at an off-grid farm in Tasmania.

Can't recommend the site enough and its like $20AUD to sign up.

my dude. I'm 45 minutes away from the Catskills. There's an abandoned resort up there that kinda looks like Chernobyl

Very underrated area. There really are some beautiful mountains and hiking in the Catskills.

>>823927
Hunted, hiked, and fished in the claryville area my whole life. Favorite summit is Graham. Have a cave I keep stocked on Blackbear that I use in deer season. Great area. Tunis pond trail and giant ledges are my recomended intro hikes

I've been foraging all summer

First in spring salmonberries.
Then red huckleberries, season is just now coming to a close.
Blackberries are coming into ripeness, they will produce all August long.

I freeze as much as I can and make jam out of it all at the end of the season. Every year's jam will be different.

The season is just getting started in my area (Ricky Mountains, zone 3).
Serviceberries are just starting, along with currents and gooseberries. Raspberries and salmon berries will be next, followed by apples, crabapples and chokecherries.
By the first week of October we get our first snow, and the rose hips are ready just before big snow sets in.

All in all, foraging season lasts from July-October.

>make, model or year of this boat..

I'd be surprised if there isn't a manufacturers I.D. plate somewhere, they're required by law.

>>823590
Hmm, maybe there is. Didn't see one, but where would it be located??

The only way to solve environmental problems is to import more people into western countries so they can consume more too until we are all brown and then we won't care about the environment anymore. Problem solved

I guess this won't stop until we cause severe environmental damages that'll make things too shitty for us.

Boycott doesn't change shits. People are growing indifferent to these issues and capitalism in general is ruining both mankind and the planet we live in.


As far as I can we're fucking doomed.

>>823401
The thing is, many so called environmentalists don't have good solutions either. Nuclear power, for example, is an environmental and economic win-win, but Greenpeace fear mongering pretty much killed our chances of having that. Now, we have to clear more habitat, and erect more factories to make space and materiel for solar and wind, or destroy thousands of acres of habitat for hydro plants, or continue burning precious petroleum for energy. It's a complete shitshow.

Also, overpopulation is almost exclusively a third world problem. Reducing their population without genocide is easier said than done.

Fact is, we need resources, and we need work to sustain an economy. Human nature is incompatible with a planned economy so that's not changing anytime soon. We can't just shut down every factory and expect automation or universal income to solve anything. We need to strike a balance with nature: utilizing resources and building factories enough to keep us employed and productive, but not so much that we absolutely rape the environment.

Good luck, mates. At least we have the Rockies and Alaska.

No gold in the Deschutes. Found a bit in Idaho City and Libby later on, nothing great though.

>>822842
Could you be any less specific OP?

>>822853
Well I want a knife that isn't too big, but too small either. Something with a blade under 4 inches and a good handle, and that I can use for bushcraft and EDC tasks at the same time.

Esee Isuzu or 3

Learn from the Novgorod, a circular ship is not a good idea

>>822274

The enterprise would disagree, but go on?
I think it looks a very stable little seat platform for lake fishing, imagine drifting along in that with a fly rod, casting all round

>>822256
Idk the guys in the fishing general have decent kayak knowledge so ask them also

Yes, especially if you use it several times a day during a hike as a sit pad. Just gets old rolling up the ridgerest

>>822183
This. The ridgerest can be a pain in the ass to pack and unpack. Its not that expensive anyways just do that shit

>>822130
the z-lite is super convenient. it takes literally seconds to pack and doesn't unroll. that's definitely underappreciated by lots of people. it's also nice to use as a knee pad or sit pad like>>822183 said.
get the z-pad. it's worth it
