I found more stuff

This tackle is used when fishing with a float/bobber. It is used to allow the float to slide up your line until a preset depth is reached.

>>769016
those are bobber stoppers.

watch niggaz on a river, they explain them throuroughly

Eat garlic

If its for one of the jungle warfare schools run out there just take exactly what they put on the kitlist. They know best.

I have no idea why else you would be in Belize, but when I was there the Brits had a jungle warfare school that was considered one of the best (if not the best) in the world. We acquired most of our supplies locally, traders are set up to supply visiting soldiers and other lunatics wanting a jungle fix.

Do not visit Raoul's Rose Garden unless you want STDs.

Amazon has packs of cans, I think for 6oz off deeps woods it's $40 for 6 and $60 for 12.

I don't remember having to use much bug spray in the Belize jungles/hills. Some spots near the coast, though, were mosquito infested. It was mostly just very hot all the time, which I got used to after about the second day after sweating buckets on the first day.

They work great when you cant have a fire or can't be bothered only suggested though is dont plan making a fatty meal with it. Small amounts work great but cooking for multiply people dont plan on it. Also I tend to make my own its alot cheaper.

>just putting rocks around the stove as a way to put a pot over it.
yep that works fine. these things are bretty cool. keep in mind some of them are methanol or ethanol, and some are diethylene glycol. diethylene glycol is a lot more heat but it's whicked hard to find. they both work fine for what you're suggesting, but if you wanted to really fry some eggiwegs or breakfast saucies you'll want the diethylene glycol if you can find it. surprisingly the Sterno™ and other pupular brands tend to be (m)ethanol but the Coghlan's "Camp Heat" ones are diethylene glycol!

>>776911
If you have 2 beer cans you can make a better little stove that you can re use. I suppose technically you could fill empty those with methyl alcohol too.

Like the other guys said they are sufficient for boiling a liter of water but don't expect to make hamburger helper.

>>776739
Damn son, can you return it?

>>776799
I might be able to, I'm looking for the receipt but I wanna know what you guys think first.

>>776808
It's basically a tube. They clearly went for an alpine design but I can not understand why it doesn't have ice axe loops That red string seems weak. The compression straps are too short to be of any real use. Unless it was really cheap I wouldn't have buy it.

However, it's a 65 lt tube, so if you can fit your basic equipement in there with aprox 15 free lts (for food and whatever), it might do the trick

Hey OP can you pay my rent this month please

>>776416
Considering its a 120lt pack that will be used even by your grandsons, its not expensive. Ugly AF tho. I'd only get it if I'm planning to stay in the military for at least 20 years

AH it's Samson C01-anon! This new one is lovely. And yeah whereabouts again? Mid-south somewhere right?

Also we have a Field Recording General somewhere but it was stagnating anyway.

This is my newest one from a couple days ago... it sounds pretty nice but I have mixed feelings about it for my own reasons.

Here's some more OC, recorded between this post and that. Night time on the pond shown in the reposted webm in the OP. The photo used in the new webm is unrelated.

>AH it's Samson C01-anon!

Indeed. I repositioned it to the other side of the pond and aimed it differently. Much better results. Though, I had to remove what sounded like line noise. That may have been the netbook's fan, 8 feet away, but right behind the mic, instead of at the side like it should have been out of the mic's way.

>Also we have a Field Recording General

Oh sorry! Thought it died, but upon viewing my search field it seems I typo'd, "recodring". lol I also searched "deadcat" with no luck.

>>775726
I thought that small iron on patches exist.

call dead bird's customer service. i hear they have one of the best guarantees. or they might have a suggestion for diy repair.

>>775726
Patch it and get on with it

>>775146
tldr

You will die, and become the aquatic equivalent of Christopher McCandless.

>>775149
tl;dr, can two skinny scrubs row 8 miles into the Chesapeake Bay and back without dying

>>774973
Not really, no.

hmmm you are lucky OP I was just there a month ago. if you are not camping stay at jack huffs, it is the best and cheapest hotel in the area

my favorite trail in the smoky mountain was the chimney tops trail, it is pretty short but quite difficult because you have to scramble up a rock face.

also definitely climb mt leconte. there are several different trail and I reccomend trying them all because there is so much different cool things to see along each route.

have fun!

>>770815
Definitely check out the arts district in Gatlinburg. The crowd seems to stay downtown mostly.

If you stop by the welcome center at either end of town, they have a book with a list of some very good day hikes.

Chimney tops is beautiful even if you don't do the rock scramble at the end. My wife and I really like Rainbow Falls trail.

Charlie's Bunion of the AT

my girl and I visited back in March, absolutely stunning. backpacked off the AT

>>770787
Yeah its good

Would it be a noticeable improvement over a Mora? Not really, but it is cooler

Get a kabar or RTAK II instead

>>770787

Ontario makes solid products. The 498 is a good knife, not the "best" by any means for camping because of the rattail tang, but it works. I personally use the 498 marine combat as my camping knife. It's cheap enough that I can really use it and not worry about it and I just think kabars are damn cool.

>>770807

The Ontario is a bit cheaper than the Kabar brand knife, and has a superior phosphate coated blade opposed to the black painted kabar blade that really wears off easily.

1. Get a hammock instead, much better
2. You're not going to fall prey to lions, tigers, or bears. It ain't gon' happen.

>2. You're not going to fall prey to lions, tigers, or bears. It ain't gon' happen.
Oh my.

I looked at a hammock, but I don't think I'd find suitable trees. When I hiked, most was scrub, given it was off of logging roads. If I can find one that's less expensive, I'll pick it up. Choices are nice.

I do live in bear country and we get cougar sightings all the time. I prefer to be over cautious. I think having a bike beside me, with the oil and gas smell, would deter most wildlife anyways.

How would I choose the best site that will be disturbed the least by wildlife? What I've read online is common sense ones like, avoid close to water, flood zones, watch the weather and avoid single large trees.

>>769538
Try to stay off game trails, don't leave food around the camp, if you have any food then hang it in a tree away from where you plane to sleep.

Most animals don't like sudden noises, so you could set up a trip wire with some old cans with rocks in to scare animals when they trip it.

I've heard that it's a good idea to take a piss 20 yards upwind of where you intend to camp, this way the animals will smell it before they get to your camp and avoid it...... I have no fucking idea if this is true or not I just heard someone say it once, never tried it myself.

Try not to look delicious!
