Moab is gonna be hoppin but its a fun time id check out the parties, meet some locals to show you the good spots

Im going to Cedar Park (near Zion I guess) and Moab this weekend. Huge motorcycle rally/camp on private land.

What should I expect?

>>774537

Expect engine noises.

Your picture reminds me of an inflatable alligator beach toy I once had that I used to ride in the surf until it popped a seam.

>>774278
burly knives have too much weight and momentum for cutting greenery. a thin machete wouldve been ideal. as for defending against gators. you dont. just accept death. they are literally just dinosaurs that cant be killed, or else they wouldve been by now

>>774576
not op but the kukri machete Is very thin and will work fine for light brush and wood, but expect to do some sharpening work on it

>>773223
Before attempting anything, test it. Put a tshirt and the jacket over and go into the shower for a couple minutes. Check if and where you got wet.

Now I would apply some seam sealer or give it a bath with nikwax. Or just leave it like that without trying to strip the lining because chances are you'll ruin it.

>>773244
thanks, but i think you're underestimating what i meant by "completely fucked". it's *completely* fucked-at least 15% of the polyurethane lining has already peeled off, leaving just the outer nylon layer, especially where it's really needed. like across the upper back and shoulders. a little seam sealer and waterproofing rehab won't accomplish much.

update bump

i put a small piece of duct tape on part of the exposed inside surface of the outer nylon layer. it's been there 24 hours, and a just pulled a corner up to check it out. it stuck well and hasn't left any residue. i think i'm going to leave it another 24, and if it still doesn't leave any residue i'm going to try rebuilding the polyurethane liner with duct tape. if i get it on okay i'm going to check the comfort (including with a loaded backpack) and if that goes okay i'll take it in the shower to see how it seals and how water affects the tape's adhesion to the nylon. if it fails comfort or water seal i'll pull the tape and remaining liner and give it a whirl as a windbreaker down at the beach. worst case scenario a garbage jacket is garbage and i'm just out a few bucks, best case scenario i get a decent (albiet ghetto rigged) outer layer, so perfect thing to experiment on.

Anyone else have strawberries? I'm trying to find out if I used too much fertilizer (nitrogen). If the yield is normally in June even for everbearing, shouldn't I be seeing a few pop out by now?

Fuck off

Crude, unnecessary, messy and dangerous.

No fun allowed.

I guess it's because it distrubs the landscape and people who light those up rarely clean their shits after they're done goofin around.

It can be real comfy tho

> turning it into a serious hobby?

Might wanna explain what exactly you're trying to do? Are you looking into longer hikes or multi-day hikes (trekking)?

It's not that hard. Just walk some. Next time you walk further.

>>774980
Dogs are really cool hiking companions. Selecting the right breed is everything though

>>774981
yeah pretty much that, longer hikes and hiking in general more often.

>>774867
I spent 10 years in the army most of it as a sapper. I have spent 0f nights in just that setup. It works.

If you realy want down just replace the mid level with a down sack. Or the smallest level if you can find a down sack that light.

But the whole system works. It kept me alive on many an afghani hilltop.

Do you sleep under a groundsheet or just in the bivy?

There is nothing better than falling asleep with water ticking on your tent/shelter.

Make a modest Fire with a place to sit dry and it will be cozy as fuck.

Lick her vaginor

>>774832
Lie to her and say weather will be perfect, pack her rain gear in your pack. If she dumps you then she wasn't worth it anyways.

Catfish will go for anything dead or alive if it is sitting on the bottom. Half a bluegill, chicken livers, nightcrawlers. But my favorite is probably pic related. Grab a jar of dip bait, not that dough bait that comes in balls. And then get the dip bait rigs for like $2 or $3.

Tie up the rig, put a stick through the little tube on the rig, and coat it in dip bait.

Peps you finally posted a girl I would wife in a heartbeat.

>I wonder why braid doesn't dig into itself on spinning reels like that.
It does on my reel with 12lb braid, but you won't notice on cast. I've just noticed if I'm letting it free spool to get the lure to the bottom it's sometimes dig into itself.


Also, does anyone else thing meme caster give you more feedback related to sensitivity? I feel like the do, but maybe it's in my head.

Somewhere up north preferably too
