Hello OP,

For the pot I would go for a bigger size as I guess you will use it in your base camp (not carry it around all day). Then weight is not the primary concern. Having it little big bigger gives you versatility.

55L is what I have also. I envy my friend for his 65 as it looks more suitable to our climate and conditions (Finland).

Have fun!

Actually my concern with the pot is the price. These poyke pots are expensive af, I mean way too expensive for an iron pot (60$ for a 4L pot, I think, and up to 110$ for 6-7L pot)

Op get a military pot https://www.google.ca/search?q=military+cooking+pots+with+lid+frying+pan&espv=2&biw=1366&bih=643&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjqpq7ExsHNAhUUHmMKHVW8CdIQ_AUIBigB#imgrc=crtANCa8Pz0qDM%3A something like that one. I own it and I can cook a meal for 6+ people in it. Mine is a 8 liter thou

Yes, but it may take awhile. I've done it with cardboard, I made a pyramid of the charcoal and then stuffed some thin cardboard strips under the grate. For sticks you should probably get a little fire going then add the coal.

Yes, i use some paper and fatwood

Just use a fucking propane torch.
Why does /out/ have to make everything so complicated?

>>800444

Get a map? Even if the way itself isn't fully shown you should certainly be able to figure it out. If the trail itself has a map you jsut need to put it together with a regular region map and follow directions

Alternatively you could also ask people that live/work/go to said trail often.

Really, navigation is one of those things you need to figure out beforehand

>>800452
Yea. My concern is that it looks like I'll be a few miles off and need to arrange transportation. I dunno maybe I'll just pay for the damn taxi.

>>800459

You're going out hiking m8. Just walk the few miles and adjust your time properly. Make it part of the experience

Why don't you just live down by a river?

>>798337
>living in that van

Why not just get "pedophile rapist" tattooed on your forehead?

Etc is not very helpful, how do we know if you've missed anything

Check this thread out:
>>797315

However that's a list for the south of England, which is going to require less equipment than say, a five day trip in the Smoky Mountains. The equipment you require really depends on exactly what you intend to be doing. Do you have anything particular in mind?

why not use regular rat traps?

>>798347
Because opie is a hipster faggot

>put a small loop in one end of a brass wire (24 gauge works)
>run the tail of the wire through the loop
>now there is a larger loop
>set it up where rats travel. along fence edges is good
>secure tail of brass wire into the ground with a tent peg or something
>????
>realize that for bulk rat trapping, a baited seesaw over a deep bowl filled with ~3 inches of canola oil would be faster and easier

Can't really help you. My guess is that the sort of person who would write a book about their adventures in wilderness stupidity aren't the sort of people /out/ wants to read about. Or, if you actually do want to read about adventures in wilderness stupidity you can read "Into the wild". At least McCandless didn't suck cocks for heroin.

To anyone else reading the thread: the movie was fucking stupid as hell btw. Don't bother with it either.

Not a very long movie but I'd recomend 'The Road From Karakol'
Just a guy cycling through Kirgistan and climbing yet unclimbed mountains.

WHY

ooooooook....so basically what you're saying is you are retarded? Delete this shit thread

>>789297
stop sperging out over people stacking rocks dorkatron, it aint hurtin you

>>786489
where are you based m8

>>786495
Well he is using pounds as currency. My guess is the uk.

my general tent recommendations:
>2 person
not really that much more weight, you'll appreciate the extra room, and it's more versatile if you want to bring another person down the road
>free standing dome
you don't have to worry about trying to stake it in sandy or rocky soil, and they're much faster to set up when you're getting rained on
>2 doors
just a convenience/comfort thing if you ever have a second person

The slingshot rubber can also be used to make a polespear for spearfishing or hunting.

For those not familiar, you attach rubber to back of spear, then loop rubber around palm and grab spear near head. When you let go the head rockets forward; can be used to catch fish either in the water or from the surface, and the speed and force mean you can generally catch larger fish than with a regular spear. Larger fish it can't actually get through can sometimes be stunned long enough to catch too.

>>772820
Also forgot to add: the polespear can be good life after death for slingshot when the rubber starts to wear out, since the max you can stretch it is only limited by the rubber itself and the length of your spear so you can get a bit more power out of it whereas with the slingshot you are limited by arm length how far back you can pull it.

Nice idea, definitely a factor worth considering.

I did some brief research online, it seems most people so you can get a bit over 1000 shots with the right kind of band and if you take proper care of it. One guy mentioned that he got just over 1300 shots.

I got the impression though that the high power bands, most likely the type you would need to hunt something big like deer, wears out much quicker, somewhere in the 100-200 shot range.

I'm actually a bit disappointed by that, I thought they were more durable, but 1000 shots with good aim can still translate into a lot of food.

I also recall some slingshot designs are basically just a simple metal frame wrapped in something like paracord for the grip, so you can sneak in some extra ninja gear that way. When the band fails, the frame itself could also be repurposed for something else, but I can't think of anything right now.

I am about to go for 2 weeks out.

I will post review of out foods.
Couscous
Idahoan
Knorr
Ramen
Diy trail mixes
Dried goat milk
And more.

I will carry 2 weeks of food on my back and enjoy the pack getting lighter each day. I might place a ressuply cache at 60% of the through hike but I might not.

>>801153
>2 weeks of food
That's a lot of food tbqphfam

>>801157
Yah it's like 25-30 pounds but gets lighter erryday.

I wonder how much my turds will weigh once dehydrated ...... Best out food in my opinion is fresh fish fried or grilled. But from the store it's fackin summah sassage and cous cous or other similar boil only type foods
