Mainly fishing and hunting, I also do some gardening and camping/hiking occasionally. I've got a fishing trip planned for this Saturday with a friend of mine, we're going to take the boat out on a nearby lake that neither of us have fished before, should be a good time.

Idk why, but from the thumbnail it kinda looked like a used condom.

Also fishing.

Photo related stuff. Pic related

Huh, maybe. It's typically the kind of deal where the more shirts you order, the cheaper each one is, right? Dunno if I'd pay $30 to publicly declare myself an /out/ist.

So that's the thing--I can set the base price to be cheap, and then hope that enough gets ordered to bring the price down so I'm not selling at a loss. I've done the math and if there's over 100 orders placed, the base cost can be $13 per shirt, which is about as much as people have paid for a patch here.... Obviously if I set the base cost higher, to like $15, we don't have to wait for 100+ /out/ists to buy it...

forgot to add: $3.99 shipping to US, $12.50 all international (no shipping to Morocco, Algeria, Jordan nor Tunisia). Hence why I'm trying to keep shirt cost as minimal as it can be.

Well sword goes better aesthetically with my fedora and fingerless leather gloves.

Spear goes better with my wool cape and vibram five fingers.

My favourite of course is my thousand folded wakazashi as it's a good balance between size/weight and utility, you know for dealing with those pesky skin walkers.

>>714905
I use a machete to clear light brush innawoods sometimes, does that count as a "sword"?

>>714909

I carry a machete too for utility but sometimes autism out and role play with myself running through the woods attacking trees pretending they're people.

You caught the crab king he took your pot as tribute.

I have no dad as well and know nothing about the world, just like you. It becomes draining to figure out everything by yourself, because it takes a long time to understand things. Hopefully, with internet, you can speed up a bit thanks to tutorials.

Black people need to get off my /out/

Starting a 3-night loop near clingmans the following week, looks peachy. Sunday will get hairy but just wear layers and get lots of water protection for your gear and body. Keep a set of dry base layer just for sleeping in. You'll be fine. I'm jealous, I'd love to wake up to snow during my trip

>>714882
I have a 100L rain cover, a Marmot waterproof jacket and REI waterproof pants so I'm set in that regard. Should I stick to the GoreTex boots though, in your opinion?

>>714888
yea dude, sleep with them in your tent in case you weren't already planning on it. have fun. be aware though that the weather predictions are usually for the more populated areas. once one gets up on the mountains it can be considerably colder than predicted. jus sayin.

>>714673
there's some state land down there. google and dec.ny.gov is your friend.

>>714673
The tri-state border there apparently has some good semi-wild forests that you might want to check out.
If you want true isolation, you've gotta head upstate.

Check your local govt. My state's (AZ) game and fish has a GIS service with satellite/map/watershed etc. Info. Also CalTopo has several different map types and I used to make a personalized map for my last hunting trip

So you are telling me i have to read 300 reps of fucking shit nonsence to get answer to my question knowing there is none of them? So maybe make 5 threads one for knives one for man purses and garden and gay and shit....

>>714207
and never make any others ever again because thats all /out/ is about? knife generals n shit?

>>714091
Best? Probably the most expensive one.

I have a couple Abu Garcia memecasters. I think next will be a Daiwa Tatula. I have heard lots of good things about it and the prices aren't ridiculous.

>best reel
Megabass anything, steez, aldebaran, calcutta conquest
>best rod
Nrx, zbone, steez, pretty much any high end jdm shit

>>714129
Never heard of Megabass. Their shit sure is expensive.

Damn the Steez stuff looks nice though. Would definitely buy a Steez combo if I had an extra $1500 to spend on a rod and reel.

I'll bite.

Here's a Nalhus I made from a turkey thighbone to keep my sewing kit in.

>>714355
That's dope, yo. I might try this. Where do you get your rawhide?

>>714355
>Ebin.jpg

I have to make one. I'm going to make one.

Should be able to buy it online and print it out. It's how I get my fishing and hunting permits. Should be the same way

I went on the site and it looks like you can reserve up to the day you go.

they e-mail you the permit. you need to print and carry with you.

I highly recommend a trip in the Smokies, but
the A.T. during spring break is probably not the best time.
Permits were once mostly straightforward and free, but no longer. the park service has strong-armed a new policy into place in 2013 despite huge opposition from the local communities.

The Katadyn pocket (pic related) looks really high quality. They're like $400 though.

Most people get Lifestraws or Sawyer mini's

We had these at camp mowglis and I can honestly say you can suck water out of the ugliest and murkiest of puddles. Many a times wed hike up to a stream expecting it to be roaring, only to find it entirely depleted. These things saved entire trips.

If you know the area / flood patterns really well a life straw will be more than enough.

>>713519
>>713534
Thanks, I'll definitely check the Katadyn out.

There's such a thing as competitive tree climbing?? I would kick ass at that

>>713466
Nvm I just googled it. I was picturing like dirty white kids with dreads and bare feet seeing who could climb the highest. Not even close..

>>713466
Do it. I never work. I play in trees for a living and get paid pretty well.

I guess I can find some relevant links to post.

I used a Dremel to cut out sections of 3700 boxes so the bags fit better. Sharp razor blade would also work.

But that box has long since overflowed so I just throw them into the pocket of my bag now. I would just combine them into lesser bags but at least with PowerBait, the colors can bleed into eachother.

>>713172
be nice and decide to give them out to some anons who ant necessarily afford getting mtb if you dont use themm

>>713172
yeah, send them to me.

>>713154
I raised and bred Madagascar Hissing cockroaches (just one left, I sold most of the colony to pet stores), Mealworms, Flour Beetles (from mealworms), I even used to have a leech. And some leaf eating Stick Insects.

>>713154
Currently studying Entomology in grad school. I've bred crickets and hissing cockroaches before and I have experience pinning and butterfly wing spreading.

I think I might try my hand at breeding some tarantulas.

You'd find more anons with similar interests on /an/ OP, I don't think this thread really belongs here
