I'm looking for some poncho in green, brown and white ( spring/summer, fall, winter ) I can stuff into a bug-out bag but I want them to be mil-spec or stronger. I don't know anything about reputable poncho brands tho so I'm just gonna use this post as a bump for your topic because I'm interested too.

>>730177
Thanks for the bump

>>730190
np, glad I could help.

These are not poncho but I found this website that makes wool, leather and knife products that might be of interest to you. Here is there wool-wear. http://www.gfredasbell.com/gfa_wool_clothing.php

>Is it possible to sleep outdoor, without a tent, tarp and sleeping bag?

Yes, but how many parasites do you want to pickup in your sleep?

>I want to become that hardcore man, similiar to the knights and warriors of medieval times, who sleep against a tree, and without a bonfire.

They were "hardcore" because they'd been doing shit like that since birth.

>Even dogs won't be able to smell my scent because I'm part of the forest.

It doesn't work that way.

>Is it possible?

Not really. You're too old. Your cup is already full.

Depends on the season.


in the summer here i was in shorts and a shirt innawoods and my sleeping bag was too hot for me.


you'd just need a wool blanket and be cosy, like they do in Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit.


in Winter if you really want to sleep without tarp or sleeping bag and you're sure it's not going to rain, get some leaves as insulation from the ground and have a wool blanket and very warm clothes and a very hot fire.

Sorry you've never been out. I certainly have and that is what I need for a week. If you can't do it, too bad.

Don't be a pussy
You don't need defensive weapons against animals in those places

>>734766
theirs no dangerous fauna in those places that i should worry aboot,eh? and europe as in eastern europe

Just do a little looking into primitive weaponcraft, self reliance is good anon.
Besides they're just animals, a pointy stick is good enough.

They were applauded for doing better than the men, somehow.

>>724961
It still haven't understood where the Mora knife showed up timeline wise.
First they only had Gerber "Bear Grylls" stuff, then suddenly they are sitting doing whatever and you can see a Mora sitting right there.

>Country (state if from USA)
USA, Virginia

>0/10 scale on quality of scenery
9/10. We got mountains, forests, farmland, the coast, etc.

>0/10 scale of /out/ availability (campgrounds, hiking trails, public forests, etc.)
>6/10. We got national forests and the AT through the western part of the state. But the rest of the state is pretty private.

>0/10 scale on quality of hunting
5/10. Pretty much deer is all there is besides small game. There's turkey and bear hunting but I've hardly seen any.

>0/10 scale on quality of fishing
9/10. We got the big rivers, lakes, the bay, and everything. Only thing were missing is salmon runs.

>0/10 scale on quality of off-roading
Can't comment.

>0/10 scale on quality of other activities (rock climbing, skiing, etc.)
Can't comment. We got a few ski parks but I've never been to them.

>Country (state if from USA)

7/10, live in a mid size town. 10 minutes driving and I'm at the country side. Pretty nice desu

Southwestern Australia

>0/10 scale on quality of scenery
6-7, mostly just flat farmland, but also a long hill range covered in natural forest, and some nice natural bushland and coast to explore

>0/10 scale of /out/ availability (campgrounds, hiking trails, public forests, etc.)
Probably 8-9/10. There is the famous Bibbulman Track that runs along here, although I haven't done it. Unless you go into the hills or down south, theres not alot of great scenery

>0/10 scale on quality of hunting
6/10
Kangaroos everywhere if you have the guns and license to shoot them. Wild hogs and rabbits too. Deer too in the hills, but rarer

>0/10 scale on quality of fishing
6/10, some good spots if you have a boat big enough to go out deep

>0/10 scale on quality of off-roading
Not sure, but I have alot of friends who do and they say its great

>0/10 scale on quality of other activities (rock climbing, skiing, etc.)
Not sure, but there's definitely no skiing

Took pic related while camping with my girlfriend a couple of weeks ago, just on the family farm

>Colorado
Ayy now there's more than one of us. Assuming that you're a native-born son and not some filthy flatland plebeian or Cuckifornia colonist, in which case fuck off we're full.

-5wt RLS+ combo and a new, better WF5F fly line from Cabelas
-Waders and boots from Frogg toggs; the waders are usually fine to order online unless you have an abnormal physiology (large/small feet, THANK YOU MR SKELTAL/morbid obesity, etc.) but you should really find a retailer for the boots. Luckily there are plenty of these in Colorado as well.
-Rubber net/vest/etc. wherever it's cheapest, but you should really try the vest on before buying it
-Leaders, flies, tippet and accessories from your local fly shop; there are a gorillion of them in Colorado and they know exactly what you need for where you want to fish and how and it's good to shop locally

You're also going to want someone to take you fishing. Everybody and their brother fly fishes in Colorado so it isn't hard to find someone (co-worker, family member, friend, etc.) willing to take you along and help you with the basics and fishing etiquette but it's considered polite to bring beer and/or lunch.

>>735783
There should be a hunting season for people who fish for salmonids with bait.

You can grow a lot of food on 5 acres

5 acres is easily enough to run a subsistence farm for one man (or even for a small family for that matter) unless the quality of the land is strip mine-tier bad.
That said, what's left is not going to be a huge amount to hunt on unless you live adjacent to public land.

>>735434
I live in an awful place for homesteading.

Here is probably the biggest tourist trap in Canada. All the available land is hundreds of thousands of dollars if you want more than an acre and even finding something outside of a subdivision full of cabins that rich faggots live in 2 weeks a year is difficult.

I'm going to end up moving fairly far away when I finish saving, sadly.

Down jacket + stuff sack = A comfy pillow and an emergency layer.

Personally I HATE inflating pillows. Not warm, not comfy, I like something I can squish my face into and will keep my head and neck warm.

any bag = pillowcase
anything soft = filling

>>731819
>Anyone have a cheap alternative that's actually comfortable?
1. Stuff spare clothes in stuff sack
2.????
3. PROFIT!!!!!

M.D. Here.


Clean it with fresh water (drinking water if you have it) or alcohol if you have it. Direct pressure to stop any bleeding. Keep it covered and clean, watch for signs of infection: redness, swelling, pain, hot to touch, fever etc.

Get it checked out by a professional if any of the above ASAP.

And try to put some triple antibiotic ointment in your pack (bacitracin et. al)

Stay safe while /out/
