Useful for when you go to a beach or park or something. Would get fucked up first day in a forest.

I suppose you could put your clothes in it to stay dry. Or maybe your food. or use it as a pack liner.

Always prep your camp site. In this case, that'd be removing any problems before using this.

Anyone?

There's literally hundreds of reviews on the top sleeping bags by a quick wee little Google search. And there's already multiple gear/backpacking threads. Also this is a slow board. Give 24 hours before bumping.

That's the problem, too many reviews and half of them sound like shilling. Plus I'm not seeing a lot of reviews on polyfill bags in that temperature range except for big agnes.

Start with picnics on weekends. Tell him how cool it would be to grill something and maybe spend the night camping.

Baby steps and positive reinforcement do wonders. Hope it helps.

i do love to do bbq, i spent last week doing 6 diff marinades. thanks for tips.

He can have my gf and I'll take you.

Mine likes to over analyze and bring irrational fears into the mix. That's just how she justifies her stance on not liking the outdoors much. She won't camp because she's afraid of getting attacked by a bear or something. Sure it can happen. No doubt but the statistic of that actually happening is slim to none. Even if I told her it's impossible she still wouldn't go.

And just thinking about it she's not even a pleasure to be with in the woods. She complains non stop. I can't even enjoy watching leaves fall without her saying there's too much mud or I can't walk that fast.

It's just like bro. Shut the fuck up and enjoy the silence.

>an emerald necklace of natural spaces.
That fucking killed me.

But really, this weird dude is just promoting his town. His heart is in the right place but he is too neckbeardy to effectively communicate anything.

That's a faggot bow. Recurve bows are much better.

Friendly reminder to all to refrain from hunting with your bow until you are accurate and precise. Inhumane kills (or injury to animals) from unskilled/unprepared archers give us all a bad rep!

I hunt with a #40 recurve. I don't have the time or property to practice as much I'd like so I stick to Judo points and small game. Currently practicing 1-2 hours a week. Not nearly enough to hunt large game.

I'm thinking about trying wood cock and ruffed grouse this season since a hit pretty much anywhere with a Judo will do them in quickly. I've never bird hunted before. Any tips or advice? How important is camo/scent masking when bird hunting? Are there calls for grouse/woodcock or is the name of the game listening for them and tracking them down?

This is such a random and slow board to post this on. I wonder if anybody on /o/ could help you out. They may talk shit so just post a pic of a GTR or a pretty girl with the OP and you will be straight.

>>723730
Not him but HVAC isn't cars lol

You posted this thread on like 5 boards 2 weeks ago and got 100+ replies on all of them. Don't start this shitposting thread again.

Also, the company I booked with said that the problem most people have is altitude sickness. Is there anything I can do to prepare for that besides just bringing some meds?

>>723571
cardio. move slowly up the mountain. otherwise it's just up to your genetic predisposition to how you handle altitude.

>>723567
bumping for interest.
It's very high on my bucket list to go climb Mount Kilimanjaro one day (:
I'd be very interested to hear others experiences with this mountain or others.

>>723563
Make sure to uproot any remains of previous owners plants, especially potatoes
If it was previously owned, of course

>>723563

If you're planning to do regular (i.e. without a greenhouse) growing I'd advise for you to check the soil conditions and to see what kind of plants you can grow that will agree with your climate.
Cherry tomatoes, chillies and the like will almost certainly not survive a regular UK winter.
Personally I like growing stuff that's more or less local (like 'forgotten' vegetables) or easily adaptable to outside conditions.

>>723596
If that's the case we have enough money for a small greenhouse to put those plants in
We were told the soil conditions and it should be good for what we're planting

>>723306
i have all those pictured with the exception of the last one issued from the army

I wear them always when it cold. So comfy.

>>723306
i had them all. i wore them from texas to afghanistan. the fleece that i got never balded and was pretty fucking awesome except that if you snagged it hard the stitching would tear. i went through 3 of them by blowing out stitching jumping out of stuff. but they never balded. i had to give all the goretex shit back but i still have the long johns and the puffy grey.

Don't be an elitist douche bag that talks 24/7 pretending like you know everything. Let them make mistakes and learn on their own.

>>723264
Bring a lot of garbage bags, duct tape, and a shotgun. And the shovel, of course. Do a bit of spring cleaning for the world.

>>723280
I'd have accepted a shotgun, shovel, roll of carpet and a bag of quicklime, but Ok.

I'd go to a used outdoor store if you have one. I got a sweet 60L in the PNW for $35 bucks and consigned my old bag for the same price in the same building. Either that or ebay, newer bag technology really isn't so far advanced that I can justify to buy an expensive new bag.

Looks to me like it's a 3 man mountain tent.

>>722566
And not just any 3-man mountain tent. That there's the flame retardant nylon wall style.

>>722531

I knocked one up a couple of years ago when I was bored at my folks place, more as a proof of concept than anything.It took surprisingly little effort or skill to build, and worked shockingly well. it's still on my bookcase now


Something that I carry that others don't? hmmm britbong here so this is kinda tricky. I live on a small island so I normally have a handcaster on me to fish from the rocks with. I used to lug an 8" Jarvis walker one, but I've recently bought a little Yoyito one which is great as it's pocket sized and you can still get a good +50m cast. I've not seen anyone carry let alone using stuff like this in the UK

So it's

Or

Why not both?

I use this. Lightweight and works well. I'm a little skeptical of some of the parts inside; they don't look robust. Time will show if it's any good, but for now I'm really pleased with it.

Bucksaw seems less practical for collecting firewood on day hikes. But for anything else I think it's the best solution.

If you miss the 'true target' areas of the targets they get really pissed off. Be very careful to hit only the target section and try not to get nervous.

>>722077
So... Head shots only?

>>722077
Nah. The place that I am going to is okay with people hitting outside the target.
They say that there's kids there who shoot Genesis bows that can barely hit the main target. The workers never get mad.
