Did I make a good choice for a general /out/door knife?
>>784867
can you sharpen it?
>>784867
Reppin da UK
>>784867
Sure, why not?
Full tang
It's got an edge
I'm sure it'll do everything a knife is supposed to do.
Can anyone ID this little guy? Found him while on a hike in NE Georgia.
looks like a snake
>>784689
I think that's a Northern Water Snake. Their colors vary a good deal, some have that red color like you see there.
>>784709
I looked on a few other forums and I got that reply. I think you're right. The red on some is much more noticeable than on this one.
Didn't know what board to ask but thought this one would be the most appropriate:
Can I bring this on a plane:

Opinions on Filson's new tent?

Somewhere out there real people buy this shit

>1000 dollarydoos
>weighs 20 lbs
Why not just bring a plastic garden shed with you? It's 1/10 of the price and weighs about the same.
>>783318
If you're going to ask for $1000 for that, you might as well ask for $3000.
I'm starting a bushcraft based YouTube channel. What kinda content do you want to see?
>>781104
less gear talk and shilling more getting shit done out in the woods.
what i want to see is something between dave canterbury and primitive technology. minimal gear good explanations but mostly just show how it's done.
item crafting, making shelters and necessities for long term survival (like making salt, sugar, clay, smoke meat, dry fruits).
>>781106
I intend to more outdoor stuff than gear stuff, I can't really afford to make gear videos again and again.
>>781110
sadly manufacturers send them out for free testing if you have enough followers.
What does /out/ do for fun at the end of the day at the campsite when camping solo. Music? Books? I prefer to practice sleight of hand or read.
>>778105
I read
>>778105
I practice Crouching Tiger Masturbation technique and Early Rising Monk Sleeping technique; in that order.
Burry the bodies I brought up
Any other cavers here?
I live in the southeast, so we don't have too many great caves. I love the ones we do have, though.
>>777708
Wait, what?
How far to the SE are we talking?
Cause I'm in Kentucky and we have hella caves (so does Tennessee)
>>777708
Ever find animals in the caves?
Old thread >>764886 is at 315 posts, making a new one.

What do you guys think about a Glock knife*
>>777442
What manufacturer is the fixed blade?
>>777457
Polish knifemaker Mariusz Przybyłowski, aka Tlim (www.tlim.net).
It's basically a drop point version of Ray Mears' woodlore (which is a spearpoint) - this style of knife is made all over by a lot of people.
>>777455
gun brand knives are generally a bad idea. Of all that I know, only HK uses a good manyfacturer (benchmade), but still - you want a knife, you're better off buying one made by a company that specialises in knives, not someone who will charge you for a gadget with your favourite gun logo tacked on.
Besides combad blades make rather unimpressive bushcraft knives. You'd do better with something that is scandi grind, or full flat grind, rather than saber grind, and has a good handle, and no guard to get in the way of things.
But if all you're going to do with it is cut sausages around the camp, stab canned food, and sharpen sticks to roast said sausages, it doesn't matter much what you use.
/mdg/ - Metal Detector General
Any one Experiences? Sweetest loot you reaped?
How do i get into this hobby? Best prize/quality ratio detectors? What can i expect to find in central europe ?
>>768293
I hate you beeping ass faggots.
I am trying to devise a plan to make you guys touch poo
I have 4 (or five? don't even know) metal detectors
I've found tons of gold and roman stuff
>>768439

No anon, no you haven't.
Damp moldy ass edition.
Vagabonds, Bums, Homeless, soon to be homeless or those thinking about it; ask questions and share tips itt.
>fellow DeadBeats
Do we need a pastebin with some basics? (Gear, etiquette, basic survival tips?)Websites with resources? If you have any good links, (allstays, hoboshoestring) let me know and I'll add them.
>those thinking about trying a variation of the life
Tell us a little about your situation and maybe where you're located, we'll try to give you some advice. The best advice is nothing though compared to experiencing it yourself, we all started somewhere and often it was diving in headfirst. If you're homeless or worried about becoming homeless and need guidance, perhaps we can direct you a little.
>people who are salty and feel the need to tell us
We're not here to discuss how to get out of the situations we're in or whether we should be in them at all.

I expected a vague response. Extremely typical of the emotionally under developed.
Only fresh pics please.

explain your setup, is it a daypack?
Op, get a metal drinking bottle they work better. Also what is in your first aid kit? I'd suggest expanding it a bit. I went into the woods thinking all would be fine with a basic kit and I broke my leg and I didn't have phone connection. So I had to crawl/walk out (took me what should of been a easy 4 hour hike over 18). Just saying more or less expand your bag a bit more and get some QuikClot that shit has saved my life a couple of times and also as stupid as it may sound bear spray if you dont have a firearm or cant own one (make sure its legal) and also a flare/smoke I wish I had one when I broke my leg because a rescue helicopter was called out for me but I couldn't signal it. ~Have Fun and Best of luck.
>>747636
Yes it is a daypack.
For cutting i use small folding knife. Fiskars saw and sometimes hatchet.
For cooking and water i have usa canteen with cup set as water container and pot, stainless steel cup for brewing, gas burner, nonstick frying pan (under the gas tank in pic).
As usual some cordage, drybag for clothes, some "in case" food, coffe, tea.
I use pot grippers for pan, pot, cup - one of my favourite accesories (mine iss trangia aluminium).
I carry cheap headlight for now because day trips while a lot of work.
In small bags i have some tent pegs, ferro rod, chicken stock, med kit, foldable spade (use a lot for getting fishing bait).
Gloves for general in case.
what cloaks does /out/ recommend? i want something wool and i'm a fan of the hospitallers, so i was considering buying this
do you guys even use cloaks? i hope so unless you're a dork
>>785301
I think it's a nice choice, OP. Too many people spend a lot of time on choosing the right dagger or obsessing over how much elvish rope to get, but they totally neglect the cloak.
Dont forget the 11 foot pole
>>785301
>open front
>everyone can see your mithral coat
it's like you WANT to get stapped in the face
Hey /out/, I'm hoping to get some walking boots for the first time (I've been using trainers until now but my gf and I want to start hiking more regularly, like once every few weekends). We do a combination of lowland forest and hill walking (no mountains just yet) and I'm after something cheap and fairly waterproof. I was thinking of getting some Karrimor Bodmins but wanted to see what you guys thought. I don't have bitch ankles but the balls of my feet start to hurt after a few miles of uphill/unstable terrain.
Also is there any other gear you'd consider essential? We try to travel light, I carry a backpack with food, water, jumpers and maybe a book as well as my camera.
>>785212
If you're staying on trails, sneakers are probably fine. Try it first and see if you need to spend the 100+ on boots. I wear trail runners.
>>785213
The boots are only £30 which is why I was asking. But if you think it's unnecessary I might leave it for now.
