I guzzle as much water as I can in my car in the parking lot or trail head, I bring a separate water bottle for that. But do you run or walk to fast and start sweating to much? I usually only bring my 3 liter water bag/backpack and carry a sawyer filter just in case. But then I don't live in a desert, I do it to save weight.

I generally just walk but after some reading I think it's mostly due to not hydrating the night before, anyways general hydration thread?

One of my favorite places to snoop around at night. Bring some beuhs, some food & water, and make a night of it.

Plastic, metal, and glass about pretty much your only options for vacuum packed stuff. I use glass mason jars for vacuum packing dehydrated stuff I make.

Boiling hotdogs in a condom? For the steam I guess.
The question he asked? Stories to tell around the camp fire.
I might try boiling them that way and have a friend test one.

>>807471
Make sure you use a flavored condom. Plain condoms taste gross

It's no Mora

But I guess if you're a Britcuck and can't own a locking blade or anything over 7cm, they get the job done.

I like em OK. Better knife ergonomics, can opener and scissors than Leatherman style multitools. I just wish I could find my MEC 20th anniversary special edition green Climber which I got on clearance for their 21st and took around the world with me (usually in my carry-on, such was life in the 1990s).

The ones with a saw are better than morals.

meh

If I had the money I would. Sounds like absolute paradise.

I would, in Alaska.

Nothing keeps people away like -40 F winters.

Plus Alaska is pretty much the /out/ promised land.

Killing yourself does seem like a reasonable option.

>Hey out! I watch netflix and it just showed me how much of a pussy i am!!!

>>793916
I take it you don't climb?

Aided versus free, rope or not, is not about how big of a pussy anyone is. They are different experiences.

Best lightweight and compact way to boil water? Titanium cup, surplus canteen, enamel mug, kleen kanteen/nalgene?

I know there was some controversy on /out/ about jetboil, whats the deal with that?

Best lightweight camp setup for staying in place for 30 days?

>>771001

Need some advice re sleeping mats.

Are 3/4 sized mats still comfortable, or will my legs get cold?

Setup will be: Hoochie (tarp) over the top, bivy bag (http://www.mountainwarehouse.com/au/bivvy-bag-p13634.aspx?cl=Khaki) to add some warmth to my 15 celcius sleeping bag and a sleeping mat.

There is one for sale for $60 (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Wanderer-Self-Inflating-Full-Length-Hiking-Mat-Boating-Camping-Fishing-/252388183838?hash=item3ac3820f1e:g:iGwAAOSw8vZXNVaj)

But if it doesn't make that much difference I could potentially get away a bit cheaper (and lighter) with this one: http://www.platatac.com/platatac-gonk-mat.html

The goal is that I want a system that is light and modular, so I can use it in summer but that it will also take me down to 0 degrees or thereabouts.

Cheers.

10 day rule.

If you are not bleeding, swelling up like a blueberry, or turning weird colors, wait 10 days to see if you get better. Most ailments pass and the body heals in the that amount of time. If you don't get better after 10 days, see a doctor.

He's probably just sick from the first contact of herpes you gave him during your homohike.

I went camping for the first time last year in the Canadian Rockies, and loved it. We went for a week, and the campsite had all the basic amenities (toilets, showers, etc). Furthermore, one of my group was a real /out/doorsman and basically just looked after the rest of us - he helped us pitch the tents, he started the fires, he did the cooking, he told us where and how to store our stuff, and so on. For the second half of the week we left, and I took over (making far more mistakes than him, but still getting a bit of experience).

Anyways, I loved that, and wanted to do it again in the UK. Trouble is, literally none of my friends are interested in it. We don't really have much of a camping culture here at all, and my friends just want to go on lad's holidays to Ayia Napa. So I thought what the hell, I'll try solo camping, could be fun. I plan to borrow equipment (most likely cheap/old) from relatives, drive out to one of these national parks, and spend 2-3 nights wild camping. I figure it could be fun to learn by experience. During the day, I'd spend my time hiking, and would certainly like to reach the peaks of Snowdon/Ben Nevis/Scafell Pike (using my running trainers probably, rather than hiking boots). However, when browsing WikiTravel I noticed a few warnings like 'Underestimating the terrain can be fatal. Make sure you know how to use a compass and read a map, and invest in good-quality hiking equipment'. Is that really necessary for somewhere that's relatively tame, like the UK? Would I be ok so long as I stayed within, say, 5 miles of my car?

All comments/advice greatly appreciated.

>five miles in
>Shit gear

I don't think you can carry your gear five miles.

> Compass and map

Completely unnecessary

>Good quality hiking equipment

Your shoes are probably fine, appropriate clothes are totally necessary, you ain't backpacking 5 miles with heavy tent, sleeping bag etc.

>>811134
Cont,.

Lay out all your gear and food and water and see how much it weighs (too much) and if it fits in your backpack (it doesn't)

If you can carry it, great. If not choose wisely or get lighter gear. If it's too heavy and you go for it anyway (you should) you can just burn all your shit gear on your last day and have a nice stroll back to your car.

Overall it seems like you are on the right track and solo isn't dangerous unless you are a retard. Have fun m8 lad fag smoker rent boy from Manchester innit

Bear, please

What is your favorite ice cream flavor?

>>811101
It's It's a black bear. Why would you be afraid of them. I bet you could get it run away with a loud dart noise.

>>811025
Do the chickens have large talons?

Why do you want it? How much would you buy?

>>811040
I raise a bunch of large fish/reptiles who eat a lot. Figure it'd be a cheap way to have a super varied good diet. Not enormous quantities or anything, would depend how much they wanted to get rid of. Maybe 20 pounds at a time? I could do more or less though depending.

>>810938
OK, OP here, the redness, if the leaf is still alive, is probably because of lack of chlorophyll. That much I remember.

>>810938
OP, crunch a leaf and smell it. It looks like wintergreen to me. If it is, then you can google that shit right up as to why it's red now. (i;m guessing it's too dry, cuz it sure is dry here...)

The red leaf is the queen leaf and all the rest are the worker leaves.
