you ask, mother nature provides. pic related.

leaves are big and soft, grow on big bushes so lots to use without really hurting the bush, and foliage is nice and thick so provides a good modesty screen you can duck behind even if you're near a trail.

maybe i'll bring some emergency tp with me if i'm hiking in winter, thanks, --also gonna look up poison ivy to be on the safe side

Bring a little shovel with you when you go hiking (one of those gardening little ones is perfect). When you want to go you make sure you are away from water sources, dig a 6 inches hole with your shovel and let yourself go within said hole in the dirt. Now you wipe your bumbum with toilet paper, and either put it in the same hole in the ground, or put it into a ziploc bag and carry it with you to throw it into a trash can when you find one back in civilization. You now take your shovel and cover the hole, and make it look as close as it gets to how it was before you did your business. I wouldn't recommend you to go around ripping leaves because they might get your private parts in trouble. A lot of people use baby wipes instead of toilet paper but they won't degrade as toilet paper does. If you use them make sure to bring them back with you. And don't forget to lick your fingers after the whole process as it helps to kill any bacteria that you could have remaining in your hands.

Literally every time I go /out/. Just yesterday I went swimming in a creek that feeds straight into a river after 4" of rain. Shit was like 8' deep before the rain.

Whatever you say. Snakes aren't even that much of a problem.

Enjoy all the insects and detritus on your taint.

It's not too hard to do. I used to skateboard a lot, so I think that helped a lot.

It's kind of boring though, I always wanted to go faster or for it to be more like surfing.
Lots of places rent them. Get a group and try it out.

it's mellow and fun (if the water's flat). i've done it a couple times in kona and near santa cruz. they're real quiet, and you just cruise along, so animals aren't scared of you. generally better view than a kayak because you can stand, but if you get tired of standing you can sit.

check the local weather patterns though-trying to paddle one of those fuckers against even a slight headwind sucks ass.

once you get some experience (or like biffing into water more than i do) you can surf them.

>>751472
it's fun. i used to do it all the time. perhaps we invented it, because i had never heard of it before. back in the late 90s i was galveston county beach patrol. that is beach lifeguards. we had huge 10 foot foam boards for rescues, but they were pretty much just super bouyant longboards. so half of our work out sessions just dissolved into us surfing tiny galveston waves. and we had sea kayaks as well of course, so when we started surfing the kayaks came out. and yea, i can remember back in like '97 we were using kayak paddles on these foam longboards. but we were just a bunch of kids getting paid to work out and be lifegaurds.

i sure as fuck would not buy a paddleboard settup. the water has to be super calm. and kayaking is more fun for going places. and surfing is more fun for waves.

A shit, unless you are in the lower 48

i know he is much more impressive than he portrays, but the character he assumes for his channel is hard to respect. i find myself battling whether to trust anything he says. because he sees fit to undermine his word on common occasion, even though he has shown plenty to allow me to believe that he is far above average when it comes to his capacity for his work.

perhaps trying to come across more as a fun, family guy is what lets him adopt such a dubious and seemingly naive character, but whatever it is, i think its more hindering than welcoming. his boy scout face is enough to accomplish it anyway

Nope, not this week's end. Still too shitty up north for fun hiking/camping. Once the leaves come-in it'll be better. Only thing I have to do this weekend is go out to my secret monument in the woods and plant some trees to help hide/landscape it. :^3

Oo What general area?

Would you recommend that sleeping pad over an inflatable one? I've thought about getting one but they seem so bulky even if their lightweight.

You likely won't make your money back.

I do. I don't have a claim though but I do stay away from people who do.

>>750363
Are you insane? You don't think there's $350 worth in 20 acres? Granted it's a matter of finding it but I bet in Oregon that isn't too difficult.

OP, how long is claim good? Lifetime rights as normal claim or....?

There's no such thing as /out/ approved anything, everybody has different favorites and ways of doing things.

Find the things that you like and fit your needs.

~18k

but i expect i'll never get past 14.5k. i have shitloads to play on nearby (pic related), and i'd rather do a bunch of short adventures than a couple huge one.

>>747614
All of them

>>747468
Yes. I only know one person who's owned one, and he was definitely the stereotypical gun-nut autistic prepper. Getting one of these and not living in a rainforest is like getting a semper fi tattoo and not being in the marines.

I think it's ok to keep one in the toolshed if you work your own land, or as a regular EDC in the jungle, but if you're just a normal camper it's pretty fedora-tier.

>>747468
Yes

Can anyone recommend me a nice inexpensive sharpener that I can buy at an outdoors store?

>>746913
I'm not sure if you'll find it at an outdoors store but the lansky guided sharpener isn't too expensive and it works pretty well

>>746927
this

also, get a cheap combo/fine stone and practice stroking back and forth manually...once you get into the rhythm it isn't that hard

You goof'd!

saws can't split, axes can.
saws can fell a tree but so can axes or even a knife if you attach a substantial lanyard and use that as a handle while swinging the knife (but keep a finger or two on the bottom of the knife handle).

>>745269
Fair enough. Any decent brands I should be looking at?

Don't listen to this lanyard cuck, and
don't buy everything at once. Get a knife and go have fun. when you need a bigger fire, get an axe. Spend less time here and more time there.
