Alls I know is if you beekeep, bears will come. So take whatever prep and precautions seriously. Every beehive in my town was wrecked by bears last summer. It was actually kind of a big deal

>>707927
Bear sightings are few and far between where I am.

Aussie invention so you don't have to open the hive to harvest. Fucking genius.

Columbia omniproof Jacket

100% waterproof and pretty breathable while being plenty cheap vs competitors. I have 2 and one of them is for cycling and is never leaked. Highly recommend m8

You would be amazed at what you find there sometimes for REALLY cheap. It's totally random and I've snagged some great stuff. If you like helly, I see that there all the time.

I like to wear a keffiyeh to scare little kids and Trump supporters passing by with their camp group.

Can you not just spray some silicon-based waterproofing shit on there?

Tincloth is just Filson's marketing name for their heavy weight waxed cotton.

Cons are it is heavy and has to be replenished at least every year if you wear the garment much. Also it isn't 'waterproof' and not even as water resistant as modern membranes like goretex. Even in a middling rain, mist gets through.

Pros are that the water resisting properties are part of the fabric rather than a distinct membrane (like goretex). This means a garment can be composed of a single layer that isn't a laminate. It also means that the water resistant layer of garment can be much more durable.

The only pieces of waxed canvas I still own are upland hunting gear. A jacket, bibs, and a vest. I can plow my way through the brambliest thicket with no concerns for my semi-water resistant clothing or skin being shredded.

learn to check catalog and ask in a relevant thread instead of making a new one

Alright how long do you think I could hitchhike in Europe for with about 200 euros

I already have the equipment

Probably for a pretty good amount of time if you are willing to work on farms and shit to make some cash/get free food.

Well my dream is make lodsa of dosh and buy a large property and make a comfy large house there. Probably in the mountains.

>>710302

You can buy a nice house in Washington on 10-20 acres surrounded by National Forest to also /out/ on for less than $500K. But I could buy 30-50 acres for less than $75K, build a small house for another $50K, and have more land to own. Which I figure won't make a difference if I'm surrounded by National Forests. But at least I can do what I want without a babysitter. Plenty of privacy to raise chickens, grow pot, shoot what I want, etc.

>Which I figure won't make a difference if I'm surrounded by National Forests.
And then one day a hippy was seen wandering in the forest next to Anon's land... And the next day two more. By July 4th there were thousands. Most obvious example of why I'd rather own the land.

Make sweet table tops.

Also talk to >>>/diy/, they know their shit.

Get it out of the rain and into a place you can season it for a few years. You may want to wax the cut ends to help prevent water loss at a high rate, which would split it. Also, >>>/diy/

Normally like the 3rd time I trip over something or after I lose something important and can't find it.

Anthough this normally just applies to fishing for me. When I set a rod in the grass and can't find it for 20min, it's about time to call it a night.

if you poo in the river, you wont need to wipe, the river will wash your backside as you find pleasant relief in the movement of your bowels.

>best shit ever

I really enjoy some nice scenery when following natures call.

There was a fall family trip last year and we had some bad chilli. For e reason there was a 2 bowled shitter with no divider and me and my sisters stomachs were really fucked up so we ended up putting our backs together and shitting in unison. Our asses were touching for like 15 minutes.

I start with a Rapala Jointed Shad Rap.
Casts far, good depth and can be retrieved with different speeds. My favorite crankbait overall - you can catch everything from small perch to big northern pikes with this lure.

>>707329

Check the catalog page before starting a new thread;

>>707140

original rapala
mepps
williams spoons
jigs
hooks
misc crankbaits
bucktails

really depends what you fish though, I do mixed species but if i fished just pie itd be trebel hooks, spoons and cranks, for walters it would be cranks and jigs, bass hooks and jigs, ect ect

figure out what is around you and google what they bite and how to work what they bite


also unless you exclusively fish from a boat, fuck actual tackle boxes like the one in your OP. Get a cheap (or expensive whatever) backpack and fill it with plano boxes. plus then you can fit more essential shit in easily like food water and tools you may need

>>707267
Anyone? Please?

I live in the central valley, Not much i can say to help you. Anywhere in Cali is pretty unique and cool

a) it's sc/out/s, not /out/ists

c) hwy 1 or 101?

>what are some /out/ approved eyewear

Just wear normal glasses, you gear fag.

>>709468
m-muh gear...

>hating on BCGs
It's like you don't want cheap, durable, frames with a wide field of view.

To answer your question though, I think there's high-impact rated prescription glasses. Although most of them look gay as hell,

Bumping for interest. I'm searching for one for urban exploring and just hiking as i moved to making videos of my travels than the boring old hundreds of photos.
Also whats the best mounting for action cameras in your opinion? I think having it in front of your chest would be the most practical but might the arms be in the way or something like that?

>>709420
I bought a cheap chinese cam that had the same quality as my phone sony ericcson w300i had like 10 years ago... Ordered a head mount which i still have (camera sold tho) and from youtube i can tell head is better... Especially for fishing (my main reason) ... Any experiemced helping helpers here?

>>709397

>I would use them as sleeping pad.

That's retarded because they would provide zero insulation from the ground.

I actually just started phasing out my UCP with the OCP (modified multicam) ACUs. Shits pretty great for work but I'd never wear it backpacking or camping

>>707212
But as far as my favorite for effectiveness; PenCott Greenzone for lush areas, Multicam/OCP for transitional, and Multicam Arid for desert environments

>>707202

Shit-tier.

>You look autistic in front of others

>You are almost invisible if you need rescue

I wear bright colors when climbing or camping outdoors, and while I agree bright, neon-like colors are tiresome, I still prefer plain natural colors to cammo.

Great for the army not so great for civilian use
