I am in northern forests, and use my knives primarily for wood working and a bit of food prep. I do not hunt.

I usually take either the Mora or BRK as my primary knife, paired with a hatchet and/or saw. If I take the khukri the axe stays at home but I'll take the F&F for small knife tasks.

I think I'd like to try a leuku style knife next, curious to see what a longer blade length (without retarded thick blade stock) and scandi grind together can accomplish .

>>1068665
Hey idiot you need more fucking knives, wtf are you gonna do when they get dull and you dont even have a spare?

Fuck, its like nobody ever plana ahead these days. I bet you're just a casual anyways and never use a blade until it gets dull and you have to throw it out.

>>1068665
Khukri´s are really good at chopping heads off chickens. holding the rabbit by its hind legs until it stops struggling and whacking it with the spine also good.

i really want to get my own khukri, only had the pleasure of using one that one time, tried buying the condor one but it didnt work out due to import.

he should have split this video into multiple shorter ones

what's the background of this dude? I don't rely enjoy his non stop rambling but I watched a couple videos and he seems knowledgeable.

The knife and leather sheath come in a nice cardboard Box with all the info required, and no papers or instructions were included. I think this is a relatively good idea since you should do your research before buying something, and also since I bought it from Ebay from a seller 'mundoregals2011' who are a legit distributor of Cudeman (Cudeman says that for their lifetime warranty, you should contact the seller you bought it from and I'm blatantly shilling mundoregals2011 because of their quick response time), the bill for the knife is on Paypal/debit card.

This is how it comes in the box.

The knife and sheath fit relatively well together, there isn’t any knifeplay, because the bolster fits perfectly in the sheath. The sheath itself is made out of quality leather, I can tell by the texture, the work on the leather and the smell of the leather itself. The red stitching on the leather go well together with the red lining on the micarta handles.

How feasible is this in reality? Would the salt in a man made lake gradually dissipate as time goes on? We gotta look into this.

>>1067499
Dude they didn't even start putting golf courses in the southwest until literally just a hundred years ago. Of course it's feasible.

If a natural lake, that means it's connected to its watershed and I bet having saltwater feeding into fresh is a bad idea. additionally since it will be fed freshwater from its tributaries and rainfall, keeping it saltwater would be hard.

If a reservoir with somehow all run-off blocked off, which is unlikely, good luck convincing the state to not utilize it as an actual reservoir for freshwater supply.

So it's not a problem of wasting water, the problem is first figuring out how to contain all this saltwater from damaging local wildlife.

..after that the problem is still wasting water for such a thing. Again, water is a valuable resource, and the only reason they build reservoirs to begin with is to keep a supply of freshwater, fisheries just happen to develop well in them.

Who even buys Crisco?

>what are some ways to make good money living away from the city?

A: Being a commuter.
B: Being a government subsidized industrial farmer.
C: Making good booze.
D: Pimp.
E: Drug dealer.
F: Doctor.
G: Lawyer.
H: Own a grocery store/fast food restaurant.

You know, the typical things. In the sticks, most of those are nearly the same in money making.

>>1066854

Carpentry, leatherworking, tailoring, bowmaking, farming/ranching, blacksmithing, making alcohol (fairly high initial investment to do legally but still very viable with out-of-pocket and loans) off the top of my head. Also possible is making doodads and trinkets then selling them locally at a shop or roadside + through an online shop. With some imagination and a can-do attitude the sky's the limit.

It's like you don't even /pie/.

How much do you use your phone? Is a spare battery not enough?

>>1066760
while using GPS and Maps on a phone can easyly exceed battery capacity, I'm more interessted in recharging a radio. no problem if you have a car (12V) but innawoods...

>>1066733

Anker is a brand with a good reputation. The idea is that you charge a battery by day and then charge your gear by night from the battery.

Problem being that these rigs aren't really ready for prime time. You'll stretch the life of your battery a bit but never keep up with what these devices demand. You'll do better investing the lbs in a bigger battery and charging in town every few days.

It's a great idea but the technology just isn't there yet.

Now, one scenario I haven't tried is turning off everything, especially the radios: Bluetooth, wifi, cell, and GPS. I mean, I keep wifi and Bluetooth off unless I'm using them, but /out/ is when you need GPS.

The Kindles have incredible battery life. Obviously, they don't do all that much compared to a smartphone but they might be efficient enough for solar to be viable.

Otherwise you'll have to do what the rest of us are doing: pack a battery, be sparing about your usage, and wait for the technology to get better.

Go do a section of it first, and see how you like it.

Read up on stoveless meals.

Read up on lightweight everything.

Get all the good guidebooks.

I know people will shit on it, but seriously look up Darwin onthetrail on youtube.

You don't need no advice, it's just walking wtf are you talking about? Be fit enough to endure it and you're set.
>prepping for the next year
Lmao, so it now you faggit.

>>1066530
The walking isn't the difficult part.

A thread died for this Sage in all fields.

MTB is very /out/ related so why couldn't you have a thread about it?
Just expect butthurt bushcrafters to pop up.

I like MTB. I don't ride as much as I'd like. I bought a new Diamondback like three years ago and have ridden it less than 8 times.

The sport gets more hate than it deserves. All the riders I know are conservationists to some extent and it's not like we're the ones cutting shortcuts down switchbacks through the brush...

If the blade actually has been heat treated, you can sharp it to shaving sharp. Depending on the steel, others will dull much quicker than others. The ones that stay sharper longer, usually need more time to sharpen.

One reason why I like 1095. Takes a edge pretty quick and holds it. Also like Aus8, vg10 too. Might pick up a 5160 blade.

>>1066296
I like stainless because the neat-clean autist in me has the idea of having one stainless knife for slaying monsters and filleting fish afterwards. Prolly why I splurge money on shit like expensive knives

i hike a lot. i mean day hikes and such. i must alomst every weekend spend time inawoods or onnamountain. I just wear long sleeves and tuck me trousers into the socks and wears lots of bug spray. and take shower as soon as I reach to home

>>1065627
>wear a hat to keep them out of your hair
>wear light-colored clothes, or at least pants (may have some benefit in repelling them, definitely makes it easier to see them on you)
>if you will be spending a lot of time in tall grass, use a DEET or Picaridin based bug spray around your ankles (either blouse your pants into your boots or pull your cuffs up and spray your socks with the bug spray)
>shower when you're done
>check yourself, including/especially around your asshole and balls and the backs of your knees.

Haven't seen it, what's retarded exactly?

>Meme axe
And a couple more memes that I'm certain that will trigger sc/out/s who watch it.

Every year in Idaho a dozen faggots from back east or local women wander down a trail and disappear or die of dehydration or drive off a cliff. It makes for good entertainment. Oh same thing happens when Idaho faggots go east or to California and get nogged.

google "dispersed camping"

short version:
>blm, national forest
okay 99% of the time if you're not blocking a road and >100' from water
>national parks, state parks
varies from park to park if it's allowed, and how far from established areas you have to get before camping

>>1065202

Thanks anon, the sticky linked to a website that called it "wild camping" and said it was illegal so I was a bit confused

Assuming you are not building bonfires and cutting down trees you probably won't be noticed.
