I solo and cook mainly for dinner. Some times coco or warm oatmeal in the morning. I only bring a 1.1 liter msr stow away pot to cook in. In there I keep a small bowl, my stove, small fork, and cleaning stuff. It's a simple set up for quick simple meals.

For dinner I usually pick up those idahoian instant loaded mashed potatoes. 4 for 5 bucks. 1 package fills me up, since it's over 4 servings. And you only gotta boil one cup of water. Eat it right out of the pot so there's less clean up.

That's about it. Simple set up, quick clean up, light and doesn't take up much space.

I used to use a Stanley stainless cookpot I got at walmart for ~$15, it was okay, but a little small. I just got a GSI soloist (without the bag/sink) that I'm going to start using for ~$23.
If you just want to boil water for a mountain house meal I would suggest a Snow Peak or similar titanium cup/pot.

Depends where you live. Some of the more well hidden places in camping spots are usually found on rural fireman maps, because they have every stream and river noted which is what you want. If you really have no clue where to start you could talk to a park ranger near where you think you could camp. Where do you live exactly?

Live in maitland brah, inland. From what I can see, the nearest national parks that I could camp at are like 4 hours away, and even then there's shit like no using deadfall for fires.

There does seem to be small patches of bushland just off the highway, is it legal to just leg it out there?

>>793364

I'm in a similar position. I live in the heart of urban as fuck Rio and if I try to go to the green areas in-city I'm probably gonna get stabbed and get my shit stolen, so I'm thinking about going farther away.

Since I have 0 /out/ experience, I'm gonna try camping at the designated campgrounds in some national parks for a while before trying to tackle on-my-own trips. But I also don't know much about where to find areas or proper maps

I was assuming I'd figure it out as I went along, but I might as well get on the boat

Insufficient data for a meaningful answer.

>>793200
Looks a little thin? What do you intend to use it for?

>>793213
generally shaving down tinder, maybe gutting small fish (yes, I'm aware it's not "the right kind" of knife) and just having a sturdy fixed blade that's easily accessible when hiking/camping. I'm more just wondering if anyone knows about the durability of it.

>>793226
Also, I have small hands, so i'm thinking it's decent in terms of that

Why? you catch big kingfish and jacks with that

Couple Mora's, m8. Can never have enough. One of the better knives for being /out/ and battoning wood.

>>792650
I agree, but I already have a mora, great little knife.

>>792653
I mean I agree other than batoning, which I don't do. I have a folding saw that works well.

I covered this woman's face because it was obviously a dog walker that probably stumbled onto the carnage.

>>790675
So what's the update OP? Last I heard you'd notified the rangers, and set your game camera up. There was a false alarm where we were 100%-certain-without-a-doubt that the poachers tossed you into their burl sack and violated you back at their burl lair, but apparently that didn't happen, at least not exactly like that.

So what's crackin' down balltree way?

Also I forgot to set the date and time which is a rookie mistake.

But now it gets interesting.

>>790309
thanks for the link, but that map in your op is fucking retarded. it adds a bunch of shit that aren't national parks, and leaves off a bunch that are. i mean, glacier doesn't even have a tree, and they include some rosie the riveter place i've never even heard of?

>>790367
national monuments brah. under jurisdiction of the NPS

>>790468
a) map is clearly titled national PARKS
b) and you're wrong anyways

That guy is annoying but I can't fault his taste in knives.

I carry the 940-1 and it is far and away the best EDC knife I have ever used.

i would love to see a wood i can get lost in.
god damn i would pay good money for that experience.
here if throw a stone randomly it will hit something man made.

>>784234
Once got "lost" while "fishing" with a friend.

There was supposed to be this headwater near Covington, MI with good fishing but it had shitty access. It was a 30 min hike one way with giant constant up and down hills and heavy tree cover.

It really wasnt that bad looking back on it. We werent much more than an hour or two hike from 141 or 41. But I wanted to gtfo because the fishing wasnt good, the sun was setting, and my friend had drunk up all my water.

Luckily I wasnt an old lady so I still had my bearings. We picked a vector and followed it 30 min and popped out on an ATV trail 15 ft from our vehicle.

Wasnt techinically very lost but the dispair was tangible.

I hope she's happy that she'll live on as a meme

I have 3 lurchers that I use for deer hunting

>Folks down the street keep Jack Russell in their front yard sometimes.
>Barks his head off at me as I walk past. Every time.
>One day I see the front gate is open, he's out.
>He's walking towards me, is there going to be trouble?
>Approaches me as if to say "Hey, I know you m8." Naturally falls into heel beside me, walking home.

Norwegian elk hound, mixed with dunno what.

She is such a big baby, so lovable...which is good, cause the place she was rescued from was bad. Previous owner broke her leg, cracked her skull.

I find Helios is /out/ comfy-tier

looks like you can drive right up to a bad ass swimming hole.

considering la-crater lake is 13 hours each way i'd save that adventure for a longer block of time than 5 days.

Wolves don't really attack humans unless it's a very hungry winter and there is nothing else to eat. Even then they usually attack little kids or old people. Stray/feral dogs can be a problem, but often just yelling at them and pretending you are an invulnerable badass makes them back off.

Boars can be aggressive and unpredictable, but generally avoid people.

I wouldn't worry about boars/wolves, I would be slightly worried about feral dogs, but I doubt there are packs of them in polan. Get pepper spray just in case, climb a tree if a boar is upset about you, yell and spray if you meet feral dogs.

Thanks for the advice. Pepper spray is thankfully legal here unlike in the Emirate of Britain. Might pick some up on my next walk.

Head torch with enough batteries
Spare torch

Bug net and spray this time of year

>>793303
Pretty much this yea.

Some entertainment maybe. Deck of cards. Book. Harmonica. Something to keep you occupied unless your the kind of hiker who goes straight to bed and straight out as soon as you wake
