if this is something you want, you can buy a cheap piece of land and throw the trailer on it. You would have an easier time living out of your car/van.

$450/mo seems cheap. But considering you can get a good sized camper for <$20k that isn't a POS, I guess that is better than rent if you want a studio or 1Br somewhere worthwhile. It will be so much easier if you can find a park with utility hookups than trying to do it any other way, but your options may be slim if you are trying to stay in a certain area. I'm positive there are cheaper places though.

If you think $450/mo for rent is high, I have some bad news for you...

You could literally take a mortgage on 20 acres of land and pay less than 450 a month. A lot less.

There's not really too much good hiking, but canoeing/kayaking through the swamps and rivers of the area is pretty nice.

Kentucky is lit, where you from buddy? Richmond reporting.

I wish California had more places to swim in

Carving... with a saw?

Get yourself a crook knife, maybe an adze if you do a lot of big pieces.

And of course a comfortable knife with a thin blade profile (And relatively short 2-3'' works best IMO)

I quite like a wharncliffe profile too for detailed cuts.

tl;dr

get a mora no1 and a mora spoon knife

>>818523
Wowee, that pic is almost exactly my trio;

Gransfors Bruks Small Forest Axe
Fallknienvenenbsdn S1
Laplander

you can get some good deals with a laplander, i got one for £19 that came with a mora companion

Yes, a 20 and 30 watt pair of folding 3 panel arrays. The thing in your pic is a joke and a novelty. To even charge a smartphone reliably under average conditions you will need 5 watts of pv, minimum. Solar works like a dream but only if you have many times more wattage than it seems like you need on paper.

Were I live there's quite a few naturists every day on the beach and yes, always middle aged men. A decade ago was mostly women but nowadays I only see fags on the same spots. At least they go a bit further down or up the main beach were all the families and people that are dressed, but still sucks for people like me that like to run by the sea having to see them.

The women now you can see them topless in the same places as everyone else goes. No one really cares.

standard pet platic bottle is best unless you absolutelyneed something that you can boil water in (which you can't with a sigg, since it has a resin coating on the inside).

pet bottles are
-nearly free
-nearly indestructible, and completely drop proof
-as light as possible by design
-can be used for SODIS in emergencies
-collapsible to save space
-easily recyclable
-easily cleaned
-come in a huge range of shapes, sizes, and caps/openings to fit a wide range of needs

>>816646
a lot of this you're describing is exclusively for disposable bottles you'd buy 50 cent water in. i'm not after a collapsible bottle.

Prepare for dents.

I got a schwinn for 55 bucks marked down at walmart and ive ridden it as my main mode of transportation for 4 months so far without a single issue

Well the reason I am getting a new bike is because I have a hybrid right now that I bought from Dick's and the front inner tube popped. Bike snobs really look down on bikes you can buy from stores. But I don't know if that's just an ego thing, or if the materials are actually better for the more expensive bikes. I know they are lighter, but I care more about durability.

>>816570
Why not Just chance the tube?

Sorry no pics but I have done some whittling. I use Mora Companion and I'm happy with it.

Unless you consider it cheating, get another knife with only 2-3 cm blade for details. You can do things you can't do with a regular knife plus it's safer. A box cutter with snap off blades can be used as well, but it needs to have a lock with a screw.

If you don't have much experience, practice at home first. If you make a mistake you can hurt yourself very bad.

>I would love to hear about some insider products
In the Finnish army there's a tradition of whittling a thing called 'Leirikyrpä', a wooden cock. No one knows how, when or why the tradition got started. I still have mine as a keepsake.

I use a Sawyer mini. I'm not ded yet. Truly, a filter is overkill so long as you have fire and a metal container -- boil, cool, drink. That second step isn't really necessary, though.

Lifestraw a shit, clogs too fast among other reasons.

I filter with iodine tablets.

Easier.

I had a MSR miniworks EX and while it works quite well it is very large. I replaced it with a Sawyer Mini and a large Platypus bag for dirty water. The Sawyer is more awkward and time consuming, but much, much smaller. The small increase in time and work necessary to filter the same volume of water is worth the drastic reduction in size and weight in my opinion.

(not my photo; I gave my miniworks away so I can't take a comparison shot myself)

thers already a thread on this. seems like common practice on this board is to hide in the bushes and take pictures of them.

where you can grow stuff it's usually not a woods anymore as people went there cut the trees and grow stuff.

I'd probably say NZ
>temperate weather
>lots of animals with no natural predators, so unlimited hunting
>gun laws aren't too bad
>plenty of rivers and fish
>lots of wilderness

never been there though

>>815320
This doesn't sound too bad.

I would be down with some SE Asia island in the Pacific or Indian Ocean as long as you have lots of bug spray and it isn't too hot and humid. An untouched area or Bornero or some shit.

Nope. Give it a week or two and everyone will be burned out with it.

walking around the suburb with your phone isn't really /out/ is it? I don't think it works out innawoods, but I could be wrong

>>812733
The normies will go to parks, like i did today, and see the enormous amounts of Growlithes, then they will come for your woods. Normies with phones, droning about through trees, littering your woods and filling the air with vape smoke. This is the end for /out/ists.

>Any new predictions now?

Jose's getting seriously dunked in freezing water, right?
That prolly leaves Larry and David.

I'm leaning towards David winning this.

>Jose's kayak is starting to really pay off in fish

How? Is constantly complaining about food, and they only showed him catching one fish. How is twenty days building a kayak (which is cool as fuck) worth it for one fish? He only needed to go 1.5 miles for the place he wanted to find that salmon run, serious just bushwack man. Am I missing something?

>>810489

So glad Nicole didn't win, 1st because I think she can live without it just fine, 2nd because muppets here were so fucking sure she had won "ayy you dicks she obviously won check her tweeter blah blah" it almost fell as if it was the show's producers posting to throw dust in our eyes and add to the drama.

I can't believe Jose is still there, yeah I hope he falls in the cold drank and has to go. - sorry, nothing personal. He could easily win this, just cause he's so chill. But the boat is his Moby Dick and he is Ahab.

I really wanted Larry to win cause I like him and I think he could really use the money, and he'd put it to good use. He's really motivated out of need, and that will keep him going. I have a cool respect for him. But yeah, the loneliness and boredom seem to be taking its toll (remember this guy started working super young, yes it does make a difference)

However David IS crazy. I'm actually scared for him, this mofo might be dying of something and I can imagine him just singing through it and the production having to drag him out of there.
I could imagine him going cpt. Kurtz into the Heart of Darkness and disappear into the forest never to be seen again. So yeah, I think he wins, unfortunately.

I made a mistake getting into the show, I don't think I'll watch another season if they make it. History channel is really milking the drama and manipulating viewers, it feels like, I really distrust their editing. And even though I'm an /out/y guy obviously and like /out/y subjects, I think History channel doesn't have my kind of guy as target with this show. (I guess it's my problem; I'm more of a documentary kinda guy and not a reality show guy in the slightest), and of course I expect it only to get worse to attract more ratings.
