Should get the maximum fine and mandatory ecology classes.

It's impossible and you couldn't hack it psychologically.

/thread.

>>765694
What is it impossible about it?
And you're assuming I can't hack with it psychologically, but I think you're wrong, so I'll ask you to operate under the assumption that I can do it.
Thank you, again.

It'd be easier to learn how to live with people, you'll be happier too.

San Rafael Swell. Dirt roads in and out. Very remote. Beautiful red rock desert canyons. Miles and miles of hiking and biking trails.

Thread bookmarked for interest. I pass through UT every now and again.

I spent a little time in Utah over a few trips. My fave spot was Capitol Reef. There was no one there when I went (I think it was late March), but I'm sure you could find those figures.

Can you archive it? Between the stupid popups, ads, and malware the site is trying to download I can't read the stupid article.

Donald pls

>>770881

I can archive it?
I don't know how to do this.

What's the bro science behind that allegation?

>>770576
Styrofoam is used on the space shuttle.

>>770577
But coolers use the same thing. It's just contained under plastic so it would last longer

Just use permethrin on whatever you're wearing.

>>770474
Apply a base layer of DEET. Also permethrin on your clothes, like >>770515 said.

thanks guys.

Aand i managed to post the picture upside down. Well, my bad!

Damnit. Do you have many of those structures over there? I assume you live in Finland?

Where in Finland do you live?

I'm thinking about moving to Finland.

Southern finland, and yes there are plenty of freely available laavus around. And they tend to be unoccupied for the trend of sleeping outdoors is declining imo. People just do day long powerwalks and cycling trips in spandex clothing.

You can just travel to finland, and still enjoy all the outdoors we have over here (thanks to the worlds best law, "jokamiehen oikeus", everymans right). In a nutshell, you're allowed to hike and camp temporarily wherever you want, even on private property.

Recommended!

Pls respond

REI Outlook 40 is nice. Not sure if they still make it or not. I'm sure they have something else that's equivalent to it.

>>770170
Sorry, it's Lookout 40, not Outlook.

>>769905
Yeah it's basically shit quality knock offs on 50% of the real deal, which is imo overpriced since in my experience they don't last half as long as the real brand equivalent. I'd rather buy even cheaper other off brands or milsurp shit for drinking trips. Only quechua stuff that is simple in design is worth its money, like ccf pads or cooking pots, microfiber towel, baselayers or maybe a tarp and stuff like that. Their other stuff is mostly over designed to look "technical" for the casuals, with too many components of poor quality, so its gonna fall apart if you plan on doing anything more serious than casual shit... for this reason casuals just love it, it really is a goldmine, the ikea of the sports stores. You can definitely they focus on casuals by the cut of their garments, it's designed for fat people, if you go past M you only get bigger in circumference and nothing in length, if you are +1,80 m and athletic built it is impossible to buy any pants or jacket there.

I have to add i do like some of the decathlon mountaineering brand "Simond". It's typically priced at 75% of mid range brand equivalent but the quality is basically the same in my experience.

>>769905
>>769921
Almost everything I've read says that Quechua stuff is decent. The few things I have from Decathlon are fine.

>>769905
Since it's hard as fuck to find decent /out/ stores here I by many things from Decathlon and can onlg say good things about them.

>10°c sleeping bag
Almost three years now and many trips, holding fine.

>Hiking shoes with their name brand goretex type
They've almost 200km on them, so far no problems whatsoever. Only a shoe lace almost gone because I burned it in a fire.

> 3 person tent
I go a nice deal on it and served me fine but it's only for car camping because it's too heavy. Last year it was under heavy rain and zero leaking.

>Lots of small miscellaneous small gear
They do well for the money.

>1.5l metal water bottle
The only thing I don't like and regret having bought it. The mouth it pretty small and it's quite heavy, then again was like 6€ so no harm done.

To resume
>Pros
>Cheap
>Good overall quality
>The store waranty works fine
>Free shiping and nice discounts on already low priced gear

>Cons
>Most of the clothes and some gear are not that good looking for those who prize looks as the most important thing when /out/.
>They replace any type of proprietary element with their name brand similar. So no goretex and similar stuff available.

In general 8/10. I'll keep buying their stuff.

Who keeps making this thread, and why?

Sheddies and kukris are of limited actual bush use unless you have lots of slashing and slicing to do (i.e. a jungle or clearing prickers and brambles from your leachfield). A kukri has a little more chopping power but even then it's not a great difference from a heavy sheddy. Why is it so hard to discern which tools are and aren't right for the job at hand? Fuksaik

>Why is it so hard to discern which tools are and aren't right for the job at hand?
Probably because you obviously have never used a kukri.

>>769672
you could do that with a sheddy as well, it doesn't mean it's the right tool for the jerb. they're still better at slashing than chopping.

also i'll have you know i'm a black belt in Bando and have had extensive training in combat with a kukri so I'm quite intimately familiar with them. i certainly wouldn't take it choppin' if i had a choice.

>>769401
A good 100% portland cement mixture and fiberglass reinforcement mixed in. You can make your own.

>>769415
Never done anything like that before, but I love the idea. Could you point me in the right direction for some diy advice?

Only Hedonists choose to kill animals, and they jsutify it through pure pleasure or terrorism à la ''if I do not eat meat I will die, I will Die !!!!''.
Those people are the lowest of the low. Picture is the ''argument'' that they create in order to feel good about themselves

>>769054
I would say there is more at work here than overpopulation, given that Zimbabwe is in dire financial straits and is trying to sell off its other wildlife because they can't afford to buy basic food needs for their people.

>>769068
That's been a big part of pro hunting arguments, the hunters bring in a lot of money to locals

With less hunters there is a lot less money for everyone around, a lot of these areas don't have a lot going for them in the way of revenue

Truly meditating or just enjoying the setting ?

I'm gonna go with the Sancy area, Auvergne, France

For the summer of 2008 I slept rough in the small high walled back garden of an empty house being sold in a village in England.

That was the most peaceful I've ever felt and I could sit for hours in the overgrown weeds and vines and the sun with nothing in particular on my mind.

I lived off the bins of the two pubs and one corner shop in the village and the garden had a tap. There was a little lean-to for firewood I slept under on a few pallets.

I would walk all day in the Devon countryside, even got into two local festivals and met people from the area, including an old hippie who lived in a caravan about 4 miles away with a huge grow-op, he helped me out with some amenities in exchange for help.

Man, that was probably the best time of my life...

>>770110
Actual meditation. During the post meditation reflection phase, the view helps though. That place is stunning.
>>770185
Would they have given you food if you asked?

Why would somebody photoshop a legit bed into a tent?

And to answer your question, 3000 gallons of lube to fill up your waterbed with.

How many watts is your generator? Summmer is here in full force so make sure your generator is capable of running the AC unit on full blast when you really need it.
