This.

We have a contaiment thread anyways you fuckin oogle

>Any recommendations?
yeah. post this in the kayak thread >>804267

disregard, i see you did.

What length
What type of waterbody are you using it for
Whats your price range
Sit in or sit on
Is it recreational, fishing, or otherwise

In the end the answer is find a cheap one that you can add your own hatches and whatnot to. Stock hatches are good but if you custom your shit you get exactly what you want

I work for the US Forest Service and basically the job of a forester is to manage the harvesting of timber. What that typically entails is going out into a stand and measuring and identifying mature trees to determine the amount of lumber and firewood you can get out of it. Then, after cutting, figuring out what you send where.

There's some math involved, so for example, say you were trying to figure out how much lumber you could get out of a certain stand of trees. You would randomly sample plots in the total area, identifying the trees above a certain diameter and recording their heights and DBH in each plot, plug that into a formula and multiply it by whatever is needing to be cut to come up with an estimate at how much wood you can get out of that area.

It's not all /out/ work, but there is some time in the field. As you move up, you tend to work less in the field and more in an office setting. As for job prospects wise, I don't know how it is in other countries, but in the states we are desperate for forresters and I see permanent jobs open up all the time (in contrast biology jobs tend to be on a seasonal basis).

The job of a Forrester is to not allow for timber sales, recreation, or other uses like repeaters, broadcast towers and microwave facilities. Kind of like being a cop, they won't arrest the criminals and have to lie, cheat and pamper foreign entities that want our resources. You are basically a rape enabler

>>812680
I should also qualify that there is a conservation, recreation, and sustainability aspect to it too. It's not all clear cutting like this overemotional faggot here >>812700 is apparently getting so butt hurt about.

reminding myself to do this.

had some death in my koi pond today, Not sure if it was a DO problem, or a nitrate/nitrite problem,
though on the plus side none of my bullhead died,

Any countries specifically?

>>811810
My bad. I'm in the United States. I've been looking at cities in Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Wyoming, & California.

Bend, OR if you've got the money.
Is there a term for the rei outdoor hipster type that drives a Subaru and always wears something by Patagonia? Cuz that's the whole town.

Just go outside man there's not much to it. What boats in your picture?

>>811690
Is that a pic you've taken?

Don't know what's the official definition of an adventurer, or what kind of stories they have on NG.

But I'd say, while you can do all the above you'll need to choose one or two of them as your main focus. Better start with one.
Start going and doing the common routes of that sport, you'll meet people along the way and hear recommendations from other places they've been. Go to some of these places.
Slowly do harder and harder routes.

At some point (maybe) you'll be good enough to look at the map/cliff/consult with locals/whatever and make try to make your own routes, new routes, easy ones.
Slowly increase in difficulty.

Along the way, after you choose a focus you'll get into the community of that sport, you'll be able to get better advice from them.

I imagine it's something like that, Most of the /out/ stories that make it to normie media is either about some brave rescue from a calamity that happened on the way, some speed... something done very quickly, or outright stupid life risking things like free climbing.

But I'm not big on trad media.

How much do one of those tents run ya?

I bought it used for $2400. New I think they are around 5 grand. Adventure Trailers is making a much nicer one now called the Tacoma Habitat that starts at $8500.

Dig one out once when digging a poop hole. Aye it on the field with rice

How do you recognize where a truffle is buried? For me digging takes quite a lot of time, especially if I'm going for 5-10 feet deep holes.

Why would I want to eat that shit

>>811013
>Do I need a stove?

No.

>What should I know about food to take?

Caloric density per ounce.

>Anything particular I should look to test out this weekend? Any suggestions or comments at all?

>the new plasma forged bolt from kryptic

A shotgun 12 gauge with 00 buck or a decent rifle 30/30 does well or bear spray. Thats about it and dont use that on a bear, shits inhumane.

This is relevant to my interests... Central Florida fag reporting in. As far as I know there is public camping there and you can shoot gunz if u feel like it

>>810081
FL here, look at a map to see property lines

There are a good amount of houses but they are usually clumped together, if you are not in one of those areas or the few exceptions you are free to camp anywhere

I understand shooting guns in the forest is frowned upon but I do not know the legal standing (exceptions are hunting and if you are at the shooting range)

The WMA brochure on myfwc.com for Ocala should give you a bit more information and even further if you look at their map of the area

Me andy friend camp out there a lot, we go disperse camping though which means you basically go where ever the fuck you want and camp. We have this hidden camping spot we discovered that we always go back to near a pond, its impossible to get to though unless you have 4WD and a lot of ground clearance so it's perfect because we're the only ones who can get back there, also the trail is super narrow and gets overgrown so it's impossible to spot unless you know where to look. We've camped there about 4-5 times in the past year and the camp site always looks the same when we comeback to it, down to the logs we left to sit on.

A Ticla Teahouse 3. Awesome roominess.

> inb4 eww, a campground

I love it, but I wouldn't want to carry it very far.

Ticla Teahouse 3, an awesome tent!

Is this a bait thread or is OP just autistic as fuck?

No offense to OP btw. It's hard to distinguish these days between false autism and intentional autism.

>hatchet
>day trip hunting
Why?
Hatchets are meme gear for survival tryhards who stay in the campground parking lot

>>809575


Because I have always been told a small light hatchet is useful? I was thinking with the right one I could process some game in the field easily.

I'm going to try to answer your post as best as possible. I'm a Northern Pennsylvania native and have plenty of experience hunting both "what" and "how" you are referring to.
First things first, if you are looking to go small game only, go for a 20ga. That will save on weight and felt recoil if nothing else. Carry a mix of small game load and slugs if you plan on hunting both (not sure what your seasons are like).
Assuming everything is for a day long hunt where you can return to camp...
>Gun+ammo+sling+ect.
You mentioned a 500, great choice for both styles of hunting. I personally own both a Mossy 500 and a Rem 870 clone and find they are fantastic for small and large game. It truly depends on the deal you can get when buying, as well as some small aesthetic/ergonomic details. A sling will certainly help for long hikes where you DON'T plan on shooting, forget about it otherwise.
>Some sort of game bag
Just buy a vest with one built into the back, it will be the best choice IMO.
>My hiking boots, goggles, knife(s), maybe a hatchet
Buy boots that fit your feet well and you have broken in already. Waterproof them! I like mink oil but there may be another method that you prefer.
I don't use goggles, that's really a matter of preference.
Any kind of SHARP folding knife will be absolutely necessary for field dressing game. Keep it on the small side, no need to get tactacticool here. Forget a hatchet.
> Backpack
Whatever is comfortable that meets your needs and doesn't look completely out of place. I have an old army BDU day pack that I use and it is more than enough.

Step one: don't buy shitty cheap canoes
Step two: grow stronger
Step three: learn proper lifting technique

>>809603

Asshat, its a nice canoe that wasn't cheap, I am strong, and I know how to lift things. It's simply too big and HAS NO PLACES TO GRIP for carrying solo.

So I'll repeat myself and say that what I am asking is should I remove the stock seats and center console and replace them with standard canoe seats?

Can you help or are you just going to be a douche?
