Wish I had some worthy input but im just anoother /out/ist who dreams of doing the same thing. What did you do/are you doing to pull this off financially?

Depending where you are Id recommend solar, water basin, and as much gardenng as you have the effort.

If you cant stand the heat you picked the wrong job. You will get used to it. Why not just take a cooler?

>>1071792
I've worked outside and I'll acclimatize to it, it's just really nice having a cool icy drink of water even halfway through the day. I'll get off of work before the hottest part of the day, but still.

Any coolers you recommend then?

Whichever ones fit you well and that you can afford.

You're good to go, OP. Go into the wild!

Ok lets do this.
First, Europe was not as poorly populated as you may think, for example France before the plague (1347) was densely populated and population levels have not been reached again until modern age.
Making fire with flint and stone, being exposed to bad weather with wool clothes only, crossing mountains, fording rivers, get low on provisions in unpopulated areas and having to deal with all kind of bugs likely are the biggest natural threats.
However humans pose a far more serious threat, robbers and highway man are common, theft and fraud are rampant, and as a stranger your word counts for nothing. Traveling alone is very dangerous at the time.
Your protagonist likely would have taken the ship whenever possible or followed established trade routes and streets and if he has any kind of brain, teamed up with other people.

Your dude would likely have used a traveling horse, suitable for long distance riding.

Anywhere outside Los Angeles. Not some dumb city hike. Preferably with at least (some) water like a creek or river. Shade and trees. Maybe somewhere in Angeles forest but most hikes they're seem kind of lame. I don't mind traveling

i did icehouse canyon to timber peak by mt. baldy a couple weeks ago. wasn't too bad. out and back, 9 miles round trip, 3300' gain, near a creek for the first 1/3, mostly in trees, tops out at a nice little 8300' peak, good views.

I have one but haven't found much use for it. The trick is not to bend it, hold it as taught as possible like a hacksaw blade.

Also useful as a hobo garrote

>>1068488
Yes they do work, but they're not ideal. It's just a space saving emergency tool really, i.e. it'll work in a pickle but you wouldn't use it by choice.

Never tried one but the idea of not having a free hand to steady what I'm cutting sounds bad. Might be better off getting a folding saw, like a silly or something

How did you get it on your balls?

Apply 91% rubbing alcohol on the affected area 3-5 times per day until the rash goes away.

You can use sand paper on the affected area post rubbing alcohol application if you truly wish to go nuclear on the rash.

I've had full body poison ivy before, had it for 3 weeks before I mentally broke down and went to the hospital. It was the worst case they had ever seen. I was blind for all 3 weeks as my eyes were completely swollen shut. You feel like you're in a full body cast. You can't move and you happen to breathe through your epidermis on a minor level so it's considerably stressful.

On the 3rd week, it became hard to breathe as it continued to spread into my lungs. I decided then to visit the hospital.

I was completely unrecognizable to my friends. They said I looked like an alien.

Yes, I know I'm an idiot for trying to tough out such a severe case of poison ivy.

How'd it happen? Weed whacked like 50 feet of poison ivy and the oils covered my entire body. I woke up in the middle of the night handicapped.

Ever since I adopted the 91% rubbing alcohol procedure with sand paper for extra stubborn cases I've pevented every bad reaction since that day.

I've had it on my balls like 30 times, you would be very surprised how often you touch your balls without thinking

I've been to Paris and Rome at night.

I spent 8 months in Sudan, supposedly training the Sudanese military in small-unit tactics. In reality I spent 8 months chasing baboons out of our tents and listening to a Sudanese colonel's excuses why his battalion had failed to show up AGAIN. 8 months and I spent less than 30 hours actually teaching anything.

FUCK THAT. You literally couldn't pay me to go back.

A few homemade fishing flies and lures. I have fishing "kits" using these. One for bass fishing, one for panfish, one for catfish, and one for anything.

Don't come here. It's full of kiwis

>>1065261
I won't, would never leave my country, just curious. Maybe one day I will visit it, tho.

come to oregon. same thing.

Look into osprey because either new or used they're guranteed for life. I have the Atmos 65 which is great. I tried the aether too but it sat too low on me (long legs, short torso). I would definitely not get a 70L if you're just starting because you'll put way too much shit in it. Start small and only do day hikes, one night, two nights.

strongly recommend going to a brick and mortar store to get sizing stuff checked for - it's usually pretty straightforward if you are a person of average build, but you never know. also, totally worth doing to compare packs in person because pictures can do an awful job of displaying what a pack is actually like. this doesn't mean you have to buy from that store, mind you

but yeah, Osprey is solid if you're only just getting started. also have the Atmos as a pack for bigger trips, and rather like it.

I like my Redwing.

I paid $65 for it. For that price it's amazing. I find it not that comfortable with 30lbs of gear, but I've since cut my pack weight to about 20lbs total with water and it carries much better.

It's built really well, no complaints about durability. I like that it's not just one big giant pouch like some baga... It actually has compartments for organizing stuff.

The carry handle on the back of the pack is awesome. Doesn't seem like you'd need it, but for lugging it around camp, or tossing it in your truck, that handle is nice. I also use it to stuff my jacket through when I get too hot, so it doubles as nice place to secure something.

Complaints? No hip belt pockets and the suspension is pretty simple. It's also not great at really heavy loads.

No love for cabins?

Thanks, I have a huge boner for A-frames for some reason.

I'd like to have one someday in the woods with a little vegetable garden
