Body glide.

I usually carry 2 bars, one of which I mark with the word BALLS in red marker. This goes on, you guessed, my balls, ass, dick area. The other is used for the thighs and spots where my pack straps ride.

PTLSD
Post turtle life stress disorder

It might. They travel across land to lay eggs or find a more suitable aquatic habitat this time of year. I don't know if they know where they want to go or if it's just random. I usually find one or two coming to my pond this time of year.

>>764535
It's not too bad, they're pretty comfy in hot and humid weather. I've got a bunch of REI shirts that are similar that I use for /out/ings and for my /out/ related job doing field work

>>764535
Yeah you did good anon. No worries. They dry pretty fast and are lightweight and comfy

22 blank trip devices are better

the kind of people who camp a lot are also the kind of people who have guns.

fucking with people you don't know who are camping is a baaad idea

Sounds like pretty harmless suggestions, good on you bros

>>763821
Also in the PNW wondering what I can and cannot hit with my axe

You should be good as long as its your land or have the owners permission. Maybe unless you are in a suburb area or something.

>>763838
What about deadwood thats on state or federal land, fallen and not fallen? How will I ever collect sticks to burn while camping?

Dude just relax. Its just a painting job. I bet you do way more complex shit while out.

The only reason you're struggling is because you're so freakishly scared of doing a bad job. Scared makes people real fuckin stupid. Just relax and do it

they wanted me to take down hundreds of pounds of scaffolding. The guy right next to me told me to do x y and z or else i WILL get hurt. I'm so much weaker than everyone else, like a twig. No body strength.

>>763021
Dude I have had 5'3" mexican manlets about 125 pounds hump scaffolding all fucking day.
No one piece is over 50 pounds you retard.

Not in Kentucky, but some friends and I go "jello shot camping" every year. One year we didn't notice that the campground we went to had a no alcohol policy.

Cut to us unloading tons of jello shots out of the car and the camp hostess coming up.

"gee, you guys sure must love jello."
"Uh, yeah, Its pretty great."
"well, enjoy your stay!"

We also drank liquor, but put away the bottles in a camp box after pouring. Never had any issues. I honestly don't understand why alcohol is banned anywhere but religious camps or whatever. It does nothing that a properly enforced noise ordinance can't do.

>>762896
Yeah, that's what camping up here in Ohio is like. The policy is more of an excuse to kick rowdy people out of the campground than anything else. It just sounds like this one particular area has had some issues in the past of people actively and unnecessarily enforcing it and police being dicks about it.

I feel like we should be alright though, as long as we keep it discrete.

>>762786
You can get absolutely trashed off of your ass in Red River Gorge, also have lived in Kentucky for 30 years and I specifically do primitive camping and love to bring booze and other drugs. Never once encounted law enforcement. Kentucky is a safe haven for this exact style of outdoor fun. Dont be worried at all.

What fucking shithole country do you live in that decapitation traps are a real concern?

>>761001
There was a major problem with boobie traps all over texas for a really long time.

I see nothing wrong here. The only people affected would be those on loud motorized vehicles. It's for the best really.

TFW still haven't bought a gun
I really need to start saving

all my guns were free! they were stolen from german, italian, and japanese subhuman pigs and displayed proudly over the mantle :3

>>761015
Just start with a ceap gun from the pawn shop. You can probably get a 22 for 100 bucks. Or a shotgun for a little more.

To answer OP no I don't carry in national parks but i do always have a pistol in my truck. I respect their rules about carrying but I expect them to respect my castle doctrine rights inside my vehicle granted to me by the repub, er i mean state of Texas.

Zoomed in pic, not sideways.

jesus fuck that thing looks sinister. if i were ever to hike or camp especially in snake territ'ry i would definitely invest in a snakebite kit. from what i've seen there's a lot of misinformation and outdated information regarding snakebites, first aid, and venom suppression so you have to make sure you get a kit specifically for the region you're going to be in. hospitals, ranger stations, local police, etc are probably a good place to ask

>sauce: the amazon reviews on the Coghlan's snake bite kit is full of reviews by doctors, etc imploring people not to use that kit because it's outdated and contains obsolete treatment and information

>>760828
Yeah I was just reading about snake bit kits, never knew such things existed. I've seen a lot of snakes, mostly rattle snakes, but the coloring on this one threw me off.

Next day
>hike to next campsite
>someone is already set up but not currently there, 3 tents

>she's giving off a weird vibe
>the couple roams the campground checking the campsites
>the lady ends up coming back to bother me again
>"this must be number 3 because we checked all the others!"
>"uh, no it's number 1 sorry"
>"well, where does it say that?!"
>she's yelling now
>motion to the post where it's clearly painted and she rolls off again
>they figure out that #3 is the one with the tents already set up
>man comes asking me if I've seen the people camping there, answer no, point out that there's plenty of unclaimed sites all around
>"yeah but she wants the waterfront"
>jesus
>he goes back to her and I hear yelling
>the other campers show up
>four black people dressed very eccentric
>intercept them and warn them that there's a crazy lady over there and she wants their spot and to prepare themselves
>they make it clear they're not going to move
>great.
>try to relax and enjoy myself at my campsite
>yelling turns into screaming
>black people are making fun of the woman and laughing at her
>can't say I blame them but I wish they would just move their damn tents and resolve the situation peacefully
>park ranger arrives
>great, someone to resolve the situation

>"Mr. Anon? Yes we need our money"

That night

>black eccentrics start playing fucking music
>shitty LoZ dubstep remixes and trap music

>he asks about directions
>evidently the crazy bitch left something on the trail and he's going to go get it
>ponder for a moment why she would leave something on the trail important enough to go get at 10:30PM
>ponder for a moment why he would wait until now to go get it, if at all
>ponder for a moment what kind of Aphrodite ass pussy this bitch must have attached to her for him to put up with this shit
>black people still blasting shitty music
>go over to ask them politely to cut it off
>they're living stereotypes
>menthols, black and milds, and shitty malt liquor everywhere
>one of them is clearly tripping off some hippie drug
>ask them to cut it down
>they cut it off
>now scared that they're going to fuck with my shit while I'm asleep for fun or because they were too wasted
>they cut the music back on later
>running around everywhere in the dark, cackling like hyenas
>about to have a complete fucking come-apart
>midnight and I'm still awake to guard my shit but they show no signs of winding down
