Probably deep in the woods somewhere like the boundary waters. Winters would be harsh but there are plenty of large mammals and fish to survive off of. The summer would provide a ton of good foraging food and fish galore.

This is the biome I'm most experienced in which sways my opinion although I also wouldn't mind a Caribbean island. Less stuff to forage there but most of them are full of boars to eat and of course there's fishing.

Fuck your largemouth shit, put some salties in the thread pic.

i have one of those lures, how do I use it?

Go to a metsatoll show

But why

>>717389
Because England and real jobs are shit and boring?

Fuck I've always wanted to try that but the ferns in australia are all poisonous. As for what I've eaten it's probably only been dandelion and purslane.

Cattails, a bunch of flowers, licorice root, clover. Cattails are my favorite though. Mild and lightly crunchy. I'll also chew on willow bark if I'm out and about and have a nasty headache. Tastes gross but it works just fine.

Wild berries too. There's a bazillion different species where I live.

It did dude. What can I say to convince you? I can't prove it without giving you personal information

>>715457
Yes. It happens to me after everything intensely fun or calming too.
Like laughing with a good friend, spending a day being active and minding my own business..
then suddenly I am "back to reality."

This me. Makes me want to start a hobo general thread and never come home.

I hear it's fairly common for thru hikers to consider suicide. Spending so much time away from bullshit then having it thrust upon you from all directions is always hard.

Jumping, bitey sand fleas. The itching is unbearable. Also, sand everywhere. You and everything you love will be covered with sand at all times. When the wind blows you'll even have sand in your eyes. And rotting, desiccated sea life. Seaweed, ocean creatures all constantly rotting. The ocean is full of life and so is the sand. You will be surrounded at all times by things that are interested in eating you, living on or in you and things that are just plain disgusting. The ocean is great to visit, but eventually you're going to want to get the hell off the beach and get clean.

This will literally murder you after anything over 2 miles. Worst possible trekking bag you could have chosen.

I personally love the snuba concept. incorporate that to cheap, light, easy to use, retracting hose that dosn't tangle, You know, the holy grail.

What's the scale of this project? Would printing on Tyvek be an option?

>>718846
It's honestly rather small. Mostly for a handful of friends and myself. And if it goes much beyond that I run the risk of dealing with copyright issues since I don't own the material I'll be putting into this guide. Assuming I don't fuck up the formatting, I don't expect this to get anywhere near 50 pages per guide, and assuming everyone wants one it'll be 7 books total.

>>718846
>>718852
Oh, and considering I may have to add pages and/or reformat over time, it'd be better if I can print on standard paper and just swap the pages out of page protectors.

Don't you guys still use Gatorade bottles as toilets?

>>718722

no, there's like this absorbent gel stuff in a plastic bag with a built-in funnel you pee in.

Jet pilots post on 4chan? Whatta time to be alive! Also this bottle is cool, It's got a self sealing spout so you don't spray water on the controls and crash in a fiery inferno.

you want flick locks or tent/z pole style. get all the attachments when you buy the poles. i quite like my black diamond carbon z's.

get flick lock, twist lock is unreliable when it's wet (rain or snow). get snow baskets if you need them. aluminum poles are generally better if you're a heavier guy, i've heard reports of carbon ones breaking. i use carbon poles and have only broken one skiing, never while backpacking, but i'm not that heavy + ultralight.

>>719533
Snapped my carbon fiber ones just crossing a creek on the Continental divide. Just bend them the right way and pop

Honestly I really loved Wild, and it finally settled for me that my next grand adventure will be the Pacific Crest Trail in 2017

This is off-topic but what are some good /out/ related books? I'd ask /lit/ but they make fun of me.

>I'm a huge pleb.

>>717203
Well I'm a book pleb but if you haven't read hatchet and lord of the flies you need some help. I also very much enjoyed Z for Zachariah. I watched the movie after the book and it was terrible.
