The sticky is surprisingly helpful if you look into it. There are also some great bushcraft books out there, I peronally love Mors Kochanski's Bush Craft.

Other than that the best thing to do is watch loads of youtube videos. I can't recommend any in particular, but there are some really good ones. After a while your interests will develop and you'll find your niche, which makes it much easier to find resources because it's more specific

What about milsurp bushcraft?

Bring a dog. They are far better companions than humans. 2 humans vs 1 bear don't mean shit. You'll both be dead. But bears hardly ever attack dogs and dogs run them off pretty effectively. My 11 year old dachshund can scare off a 800lb mama bear.

Anyone know of a decent leather belt pouch? Somewhat like OP's pic.

I'm gonna pick up one of these, looks like it could have potential:

I'm too fucking fat to wear a belt kit.

Rack is much better. Get fenders too while you're at it. I like these baskets a lot on my city bike, though a backpack might not fit:

Don't go to the school if you decide to do HVAC or electrical. A lot of companies will send you to school for free, and tradesmen usually laugh at the no skill dipshits coming out of those places. Just look at that dumb fag in your pic.

Are you trying to travel for work and do any /out/ type shit on the job?

This one dude I know who runs a nightclub used to be an underwater welder. He was telling me it is like $150/hr while you are down there. Got to work in the Caribbean a lot. Sounded awesome.

Auto mechanics are really under appreciated a underpaid so I wouldn't do that. My dad did HVAC for his whole life and that was actually decent. But he took the initiative to learn stuff and try to sell big accounts (think high-rises in Chicago) and he was making $40+ an hour with as much overtime as he could possibly want. He showed me some $3000+ paychecks. And since he was always trying to learn new systems and keep up with the newest technology, most of his work since the late 90s was all on computers. He rarely had to crawl around in basements and do shitty work.

Electrician would be decent too. A buddy is doing that now, had to apprentice for a minute but as soon as he went full whatever they call it and got down with the union, they were paying well.

I saw a black man in the woods before. I knew he was scared as hell. I told him where the closest road was and gave him my KFC coupon so he wouldn't rob me.

I was camping with 3 friends.
We got bored and agreed that we were only allowed to use gestures to communicate for one hour. Went scouting the area with one friend.
Found a tree stump covered in slugs. The stump was near completely covered with their slime.
Near the stump was the fattest slug I have ever seen, it almost looked like a turd. We went deeper and build some spears and were generally sperging out. I gathered some tinder and found a clearing. I stepped on to it and saw a majestic stag striking a hollywood like pose, having his front right hoof in the air while standing diagonally towards me.
I was fascinated. It jumped away and I walked around. 1 minute later there was a fox with thick pale fur walking away from me and then turning his head to me. I looked at it for 3 seconds and then it ran away.

That was one of the best days in my life.

They are designed just to help the pupper on tight spots, not to carry them like groceries. Besides, you'll both get tired walking a couple kms with the guy allways changing hands.

If you are going to take him with you in a long hike (which you know you shouldn't), just take it slow.

I know a lot of trainers who use the Ruffwear DoubleBack harness for helicopter/high angle work, and the Webmaster for less technical areas. You're better off sticking to short excursions and easy trails, though. 80lbs is a lot to haul around, there's a good chance that you might both be injured if you stumble at the end of a long hike.

First of all make the house comfy and cozy, so after your days of work, when you come back, you feel well. Don't let the house go out of control, the organization of stuff and works comes from the house outwards.
Next, you should set up a workshop, an area, which doesn't really have to be big, enough for a bench, a few boxes/drawers. Don't worry about instruments too much, just buy them as you need them, and son't be too cheap, so you wouldn't have to replace them too often.
As for livestock, look, for what is either the cheapest to purchase in your general area, it's good for starters and then get some more diverse livestock, start selling goods in town markets after a while.
Just a thought.

Great advice, I hear the home comforts thing. I've bought my ma a woodburning rayburn for cooking and hw/central heating, since all they're rich in is wood, I thought it was a good investment, and makes the place that much more cozy.

Workshop, right, I've been clearing out one of the outbuildings for a shed, theres tools a-plenty in there, and I'm using the busted up but functional back porch for seedlings.
