Hatchets aren't the most versatile tool

Oh wew look I just did!

And FYI a 'forest' axe (or hand and a half as they're called here) > hatchet in versatility.

>>755124
Another hatchet lover here, forest axes require 2 hands making it less versatile ;)

C4 can cause dehydration pretty quick, so you'd need to bring extra water, especially if it's hot.
I find that the kick doesn't last very long, so unless this is a really intensive hike over rough terrain, it won't help much with endurance. My experience comes mostly from drinking a whole scoop at once for sports and lifting, but taking occasional drinks from a diluted solution may help.
TL;DR I've taken C4, but not while hiking. It probs won't work anyway.

I drink a big can of coconut water before I go. It was recommended to me for cramps, seems to work. I'd be interested in something also. Some days it seems like I can hike forever and sometimes not.

There's a reason that marathon runners don't do this. Pre-workout supplements are for shorter events, like doing 40 minutes of circuit training or a HIIT session. For longer events it's more important to keep your blood sugar and electrolytes up, as well as hydrating regularly.

It is a thing that people do. You have to make sure the trail you are hiking allows pack animals. It can get very expensive when you factor in the cost of the animal, vet bills, and food. I would rather invest my money in good ultralight backpacking gear.

>>754214
Alpacas are a far better choice. They also make better companions/pets.

>>754214
Pack goats are a thing. The ranch I elk hunt on uses them when packing big base camps in. They are really good on narrow trails, better than horses and burros.

You can rent them from High Unita to see if you like them.

I use the "geo tracker" app. I download .gpx routes from websites like "thewalkingenglishman" and use that when I'm out hiking. It doesn't require signal and instead works entirely off gps.

The only problem is battery life. I figure with a compass you could save some battery life and just use your GPS now and then to check you're on the right route.

Alternatively just buy a gps. They're purpose built and have better battery life.

>>754053
.gpx is the golden standard yeah. being out of cell service shouldn't matter for gps apps as they contact satellites not the phone network.

Random but I am planning an expedition this summer -- none of it is really .gpx logged (yet) what I am thinking of is using OS (ordnance survey) and IGN (french equivalent) online mapping and exporting expanded route maps as PDF or something to access on a kindle for the battery life. Obviously this means navigating by hand but should save a lot of space and money vs paper maps.

I am planning on using a dedicated GPS plotter to export the route as .gpx once I am done.

Thoughts?

>>754070
if possible try killing the wifi/bluetooth and phone signal (without killing the GPS) -- will improve battery life somewhat, but they are all powered by the same module (the main processor) in a phone, so it will still be less efficient than a dedicated unit.

>>754053
>best way
learn compass & map and do NOT rely on an electronic device that can fail, run out of charge, get wet and die, etc, etc etc.

this is a slow board, bumping is NOT required.

I am Scottish (not from Aberdeen), are you a Scot or a foreigner?

Being in aberdeen you are right next to the cairngorms where ive done my fair share of solo camping and hill walking. Would be longer than an hour to get to these spots, but they are very chill and isolated.
However, it has been a very late winter and even I am having doubts about a 5 day 9 munro challenge on rannoch moor planned for a fortnights time.
Was just north of loch lomand last week and had to call it a day and come off the hill due to blizzard conditions.
I can give you locations but they would take about 2 hours to get there, not including the walk in.

bump wasn't mine :S
I'm from Bristol, at Aberdeen Uni

>>754040
Yea i'm thinkin Cairngorms for sure if we don't find any closer, winter has been late but we're not planning on doing much walking once we're there besides to/from site, mostly smokin. If you know some good spots there, would be great thanks mate, are the cairngorms easy to get lost in? We probably wouldn't be looking to go somewhere too far off the path because we're all pretty much plebs atm as far as /out/ is concerned but somewhere secluded and remote for sure. Hope you're able to go thru with your challenge man.

if you want to scare them off/annoy them use your red ryder. if you want them dead get a Gamo break action pellet rifle and some decent pellets. Also shot placement, try for the head/neck/chest, sometimes a wing shot will deflect or just wound.

>>754003
I had that in NZ. Good "rifle". It vibrates in an unusual manner after each shot. The stock scope is dog shit. 8/10 would buy again.

>>754003
How much does this usually cost?

>>753830
>bring on the show?

Something that easily starts fires or a machete.

Also, I wouldn't go to Leishmaniasis sandfly territory, or other places with nasty diseases you're definitely going to catch. Not worth it.

bump, interested in dispersed camping as well

Wow this board is slower than I thought

Make sure you have a license or a hunting/fishing one at least.

That's how it is in VA at least. Look into the WMA's for your state too! Have fun!

18/m/student hier.

In Essen und Umgebung gibt es einige Wälder und Felder. Für diesen Sommer ist min ein Querfeldeincamping geplant. 24-48 out. Irgendwo hin fahren, Querfeldein laufen und da campen

>>753188
Schwarzwald läuft, ist aber sehr zugebaut, will wieder nach Norwegen oder Kanada

Schwabe hier... Im Sommer in den Schwarzwald aber ansonsten sieht es mau aus. Wobei ich mittlerweile immer mehr drauf scheiße, in irgendwelche Wälder gehe und einfach mein Ding mache.

Zum Glück wurde ich noch nicht erschossen...

Deutschland ist einfach zu dicht besiedelt und die scheiß Politik meint wir würden aussterben. Mich kotzt das immer mehr an und ich überlege mich hier zu verpissen.

Hunting just for trophies is kind of gay.

Very poor posing. Looks like the hunters are bumming the bears.

Yea boi

Rules are really more like guidelines.
But in any case AFAIK yes, the 14 day limit is for a single stationary camp. Mostly to keep people from setting up shanties and just living there. If you break camp and go somewhere else it resets.

>>738921
Yeah, you have to move like a mile and you can camp again

Should I just call the Ranger's office if I want to find out if it's legal for me to carry a firearm (long gun or pistol) while innapark without a permit?

It'd most likely be open carry, obviously

Stay away from multi tools, .22 rifles, paracord, wool clothing, hydration bags, handguns, crank radios, metal utensils, duct tape, sleeping bags, and bandannas?

wtf are you smoking man?
