Freshwater is more scenic but salt fishing is much better

Good job being a humorless asshole

Putting you're dirty ass clothes in the bag. Although I never really cared. I used my military bag system every single day for a year twice and washed them every other month.

You need a two bag system. And use them together when it gets cold.

>>813379
Is the need to layer or the bag or will the layer around yourself provide enough warmth if wearing the proper clothes.

>>813386
If you add clothes it can add a little warmth. Yea I used to use my basic bag down to the 40s in my acus. But we had 30 guys to snuggle up with if necessary. I would be careful if going out alone with a basic bag yhat will barely get you by.

But once you get down what is comfortable with each bag then you only need to bring both in winter. Buy 2 bags or a set. Being able to use different bags is great.

You can find seeds online easy. But if you want to find something in your area that will for sure survive contact your local Master Gardener or ask around at a farmers market if you have one. Someone might be willing to sell you some seeds. BTW, Potatoes grow great in vertical drums. If done well a 50 lb drum can produce 40 lbs of potatoes.

You do realize this was to start a general discussion on the subject of square foot gardening? I see post everyday about hiking and fishing that are repetitive. This subject after a search did not come up.
>>813097
I have tried local farmers and growers I know sadly most are very tight lipped around here. I was just hoping for suggestions of new variety to try as the options are endless. Potatoes are what I will be planting this weekend actually. Last year I got about 95lbs out of 4' of space.

>just got [thing], is it any good?
Why don't you ask if it's good before you buy it you dumb sack of shit

Upper-mid tier stainless, perfectly good if the heat treatment is done properly and it's a well made knife.

boker tree brand makes a good knife.

I own a Boker EDC boot knife that while it is too heavy, is a durable, good knife

>>812667
carry a knife
use the pointy end.

You need a gun. A big one. Remember that these people are out there...

Do you live in the area? I'm in Mapleton.

I'd probably do the same as you desu. Snakes just aren't worth fucking with.

Fucking weird, i was at the glasshouse mountains too today

Hiked up Mt Ngungun, was great

Im Brisbane boy and have a lot of experience with local wildlife through my adventures in the bush.

Firstly yeah it was likely a brown snake but could have been a coastal taipan which look kinda similar but with a more pronounced brow. One good one to identify browns because their colour varies is to see if they have orange splotches on their belly (obviously this isnt often easily accessible unless you catch it first)

To be honest as a lover and owner of reptiles i feel like people really dont get snakes and get caught up in unreasonable fear. Whilst they are poisonous and browns are known to stay and fight on occasion instead of fleeing they really arnt a threat unless you do actually make contact with them ie stepping on them.

For example, last christmas holidays i was sitting in a little sand bend in a creek enjoying the peace when i started hearing rustling coming from around the bend of the creek. Sure enough a two meter brown comes round the bank. Im sitting cross legged and just thrilled to see it (currently with the impression it would just slide past at a 3 meter distance) but it ends up leaving the bank and goes onto the sand straight towards me. When it was half a meter away i decide i dont want to risk it getting closer and then suddenly realizing im alive and it panicking so i stood up. It just looked up at me and did a u-turn back up into the bank.

Snakes really arnt bad creatures, just dont tread on them and you will be fine. However just stopping loudly will scare them with the vibrations you create as that is one of their main ways of sensing threats.

Bump. I wanna know more /out/ stuff to do in this state too

Lots in the Adirondacks, which is unfortunately 5 hrs from B-lo.There are probably some OK hiking places in the Western fingerlakes. Look into Letchworth. Not that familiar with that far West though otherwise.

>>812414
Letchworth is very beautiful but due to the tourism hardly /out/ at all. There's plenty of trails around the finger lakes but of course no mountain views like the ADK has.

I'm going to look up the company but it felt like quality. I'm going to clean it up a bit but I'd have to look into how to do that as I have no idea on the subject either. I've always kept my cast iron beautiful

One time I was in afghanistan for a year and hiked for miles each day wearing almost 100 pounds of gear going up and down mountains, through wadis and over walls.

Glacier is great, but walking across snow fields isn't all that crazy. Was this meant to be tongue in cheek?

The ones suspended across the side of the mountains take ages to cross and are sketchy if you are ill prepared and lack proper gear like crampons and poles or an axe like I was

I also collect elderflower and elderberries. I make liqueur from the flowers, the berries go into beer.

>>811483
How do you make the beer?

Are you 7? Just go climb a fucking tree!

Be careful climbing a tree.
You can fall and really hurt yourself.

Did you watch the video you posted?

as far as keeping leeches off your body wholesale I'm not sure, but I do know that proper deployment of an anti-tick condom will keep leeches off your dick and out of your bladder.

>>810137
I like to pull them off of me and put them in a bucket full of water, sometimes I like to fill a bathtub and take a bath with them. It is a spiritual and sexual feeling to feel them suck and wriggle against me. It is there I see that all life is connected.
