The stone, if used correctly, should be sufficient. However, don't expect the BK2 to be as sharp as the Mora. I am given to understand it is more of a chopper.

If I were to hazard a guess, I would say that you lack the proper sharpening technique. I would recommend that you look up some instructional guides or videos online. Bladeforums are also pretty knowledgeable and have a few guides if you know how to find them.

Are you using water or oil as a lubricant while sharpening?

Also, remember to keep a consistent angle while sharpening. Keep your wrist straight and sharpen from the elbow instead.

Good luck!

I'm using water as my lubricant. I guess maybe I don't keep consistent angle? For Mora I leave the edge flat on the stone (like Ray Mears shows in his video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lm53mCOQTR8), with BK2 I have it lifted slightly, because I practically never see online pictures of BK2 with the black coating stripped, which leads me to suspect I shouldn't lie it flat on the stone. Should I ignore that and just lie the edge flat?

>>758619
IIRC sharpening angle on a BK2 is 23°
You can make an angle guide if you happen to have a circular saw
Or you can hold the knife on the stone at a 90° now angle ithalfway toward stone. Should be 45° now. Angle it halfway again it should be pretty close to 23°

I really love when stuff lines up like that, I feel like it's a sign that today is going to line up in a similar fashion when I see stuff like that. The world is just so cool.

>>758347
I doubt it was deliberate but I like it.

posted before i read link. moderately less aggravated, but skeptical. how high do they plan on cleaning? how much of a dent is 8800 lbs going to make?

not that it matters to me. i'll stick to my local 13-14k peaks, thanks.

I used to have a very romantic perception of Everest ever since I was a kid in grade school who read Into Thin Air and saw the imax film Everest. Then I started reading about the traffic jams, the garbage strewn everywhere, and the shit piles frozen all over the place. No matter where people go, they leave their mark, for better or for worse. There's a lot of other peaks out there to summit, with a lot less people on them.

Muscle is more dense than fat.

>>758245
Might be partially that reason; I have doubts that much muscle could be gained in that time. Though, I kind of started from nothing.

Remember when Spenny tried to gain weight by working out everyday? He lost

>>758250
It is more surprising that you have only gained that much in muscle mass. You may have trimmed off fat to balance it out though.

>research expedition
To where? Mars?
Do you mean doing field work?
Geology, biology, archaeology etc?

>>758174
Yea, field work or whatever.
Join along as a pair of hands even though I'm not educated in that stuff.

>>758176
>not educated in that stuff
Then why would they want you along?

Don't eat the brain fluid, or spinal fluid, and you should be okay, if the liver has white specks on it. don't eat the liver, some people throw out the meat all together, up to you desu.

Just cook it and make sure its cooked and its all fine, I mean if it has maggots in it then throw it away but thats common sense.

>>757524
Why would it have maggots if he's just shot it, anon is not going to be eating carrion.

OP,

- Wash your hands well
- Cook the meat thoroughly to avoid Tularemia
- Don't eat the offal

Realtalk, you'll probably die on account of that whole food thing.

There's a reason you don't see a lot of hunter gatherers these days.

Totally depends on the environment and what you're willing to do. Hunting? Fishing? What kind of supplies are you willing/able to start with.

One could easily stash a month worth of food somewhere then live there for the month.

What is your goal?

>>757317
Pretty much this.

Good luck maintaining a food source in the wild, hunting isn't as easy as it looks and growing food in the wild is uhhh pretty wild.

>>757250
Get one of those 5 gallon buckets from home depot or where the fuck ever and turn it into a makeshift emergency toilet.

>>757267
no, thats ridiculous. I need advice on what to eat or not eat beforehand ie mon-fri

>>757270
Smoke a couple cigs and drink a big coffee in the morning. Then give yourself an hour to drop a deuce before going to work.

I can't stand having to take a shit at work. It normally means a gas station or 7-11 bathroom. I will just prarie dog that motherfucker if possible.

>>757005
You could only hike trails that you can cover in one day this way, which usually suck
>won't even need tents
I think you are talking about sleeping in a car
Car camping is often done with tents, you park the car and set up a tent.

I did this all the time as a teen for river/stream fishing trips. Only it was my mom driving.

I like this technology.

I would rather have a self driving rv.
Get off work on Friday, go to bed in rv , wake up at the lake 400 miles away.

(and yes, I think that the poncho is most likely just a silly gimmick)

>>755988
Looks like shit

Would seriously consider buying, but it's a kickstarter so probably won't happen.

The number one thing I look for in kickstarters is the bios / qualifications of the management team.

>no insulation factor
>leaks over the course of a day

Summation = you are a retard.

Will get a leak the first night and then you are fucked.

also doubles as a brightly-colored body bag for easy recovery

OP here: I took this picture about 6 hours ago flying home from work.

Find it amazing that all of you environmental humpers are so possessed with all the shit you hear in the news; then hear it straight from the horses' mouth and just skim over it like some advertisement. That's really sad.

My child hood home burned down an hour ago or so, I don't live in the area anymore but my hometown is entirely evacuated now
