Am I the only one that gets real bad chafing after I ejaculate? I usually only ever have sex (just kidding) or masturbate before I shower for said reason.

>Where to get water
I typically only go into forrest where there are water sources. Google Earth is your friend. I also keep water inside my vehicle in case I need it.

>charging
Those little battery banks might be an option or even a solar charger. Also your developed camp sites will have power hook ups but you will have to pay to stay there.

>wash dishes
Extra water in your car/water sources. I also like meals where I don't need to do dishes or using paper bowls then just burn when I'm done.

>dispersed camping
I really don't know what you mean here.

>water
yes to all. and almost all urban water (barring flukes like flint) is potable, so once you buy a bottle you can refill it in any mcdonalds or walmart bathroom

>laptop
ummm, charge it in your car also?

>washing dishes
wipe em out real well. hobo wash them in sinks. bigger problem is going to be washing you, desu.

>dispersed camping
pretty much totally legal in national forests and on blm land. but you usually need a permit to camp in national wilderness or national parks.

I know thanks are kinda pointless on an anonymous Colombian stained glass chatroom, but thank you for the advice.

On another note, is there a place to reference state laws (mostly pertaining to what firearms I can carry, travel with, use) where the language isn't so thick in legal-ese?

I've seen a swarm of hundreds of buzzards. Found porn in some remote places as well.

When I was like 8 years old my friend and I would congregate in this old shack in the woods behind our house. One day we stumbled upon two teenager dudes who had playboy magazines and offered to give them to us if we let them smoke weed in our clubhouse. At the end of the day we would just bury the magazines under some dirt then dig them back up the next day. Then after a couple of weeks of doing this we walked in and saw one of the guys blowing the either. We noped out of there and never returned.

Forgive me; I failed to see >>708015 when I made this thread.

It's ok

I just carry a pair of small fixed (8 power) Bushmaster binos; scouting out avenues and paths, and all that jazz. Looking for animals and noises I hear in the distance.

Definitely needed.

If I'm hunting, I'll use them to check out the game and what's beyond it if I have an open sighted firearm; if a scope, I'll use binos to look around the game animal to see if there's no one remotely nearby before I put the scope on it.

>>708599

Many years ago I was gifted a Tasco 516, it was utterly amazing. it had kickass optical clarity, a nice field of view and fair zoom ( comparable to a lot of binos I tried). after years of being dragged around the world part of the plastic body of the eyepiece focussing mechanism developed a fracture, which eventually split. it was a sad day when it finally broke, I'd been carrying it for a good 14 or so years, so the 516s were now out of production and like hen's teeth to source in the UK .

I tried a few others in attempt to replace it, stuff like the Brunton Echo,and Orion 10x25. I'll be honest they weren't even in the running. I kinda lost hope fora couple of years and gave up looking

Time passes...

As much as a fucking loathe Nutnfancy and his pretentious bullshit there are two absolute gems gear wise he's put me onto. one is the Victorinox Cadet.. the other is the Docter 21x8.

It wasn't cheap, I'll' be honest it was about £80. quality wise it's a beast, it surpasses the old 516 I had and blows every other monocular, and at least 75% of binos I've tried away.

I picked this up at a flea market for $5. Haven't had the chance to use it yet but I like the idea of being able to clamp stuff and use both hands for something.

the OHT looks pretty cool.

Doxens are shitty pets. They are one of the most aggressive breeds, constantly bark, and are expensive to take care of because of back issues. My Uncle had 2.

>>707095
You and I have had very different experiences with the breed then. I've only ( from memory ) seen a Badger-dog seen a badger-dog attack once: Yesterday when my four YO nephew stepped on one's paw and then tried to approach the dog after it had backed away to "lick its wound."

I won't deny that they can develop back problems and I'm open to other dog options as long as they are small dogs. it just so happens that these dogs are pure-blood, locally bred and affordable; my mother's neighbor bought a long-haired male RotL from them for under $400 and a female a few years before/after for the same price.

If you have better recommendations feel free to share.

>>707090
If you want a small /out/ dog, get a terrier of some kind. Rat Terrier, Jack Russel or Border Terriers are all GOAT.

If you want a tracking dog, you need a scenthound though, and not many of them are small http://www.mans-best-friend.org.uk/scenthounds.htm

Irony

high country in yosemite and sequoia will still be snowy. specifically in yosemite, glacier point and tuolumne will be unaccessible except on xc skis or snowshoes. half dome cables will be down, so if that was on your ticklist i'd remove it (barring you having the gear and experience to get up there without the stairs). the valley floor will probably be clear of snow. temps could be anywhere from 40-70, weather could be sunny or rainy. but just come prepared and it'll be great- you'll beat the mosquitos, heat, and majority of the tourists, and the falls will be going big.

>>707053
it's going to be that snowy? damn.

do you know if there are any other scenic trails other than the half dome and glacier around yosemite?

Much thanks

I'm not going to name a full list for you because you can Google that but here's what I recommend.

Don't be lazy when setting up camp. Bears are very dangerous. Just because you haven't seen one doesn't mean they aren't nearby. Hand your shit up high on a tree branch. Pick up all your trash. Leaving it in the fire pit before you leave is lazy and stupid.

Wear Nylon underwear, shirts, and pants. Wear a thin pair of dress socks under your hiking socks to prevent blisters. Bring a pair of sandals or crocs to wear at camp to let your feet breathe or for crossing small streams. Bring an extra pair of socks and underwear for each day, and a backup pair of pants and shirt to wear while your other is drying after being washed or get's torn/damaged. I used to only pack socks and underwear until one trip my button broke off of my pants and I couldn't find it in the leaves. Was a shitty hike afterwards.

Pack a little bit more food than you think. You never know how hungry a hard hike may make you feel or may run into somebody needing food. Also, don't waste your money on MREs or expensive Mountain House shit. You're either going to get constipated or diarrhea. Just pack some smoked meat, trail mix, homemade protein/breakfast bars, etc. And bring some of those powdered Gatorade packets for your water.

For comfort, bring anti-chafe balm, lip balm, bug spray, itch cream, sun screen, sun glasses, mouthwash, toothbrush, dental floss, etc.

For fun, I always bring a cheap MP3 player that runs off of AA batteries, a handheld solitaire game, and a book.

Good tents are always a bit pricey. It's a mix of expensive fabrics, good fabrication, good engineering, and of course outdoor- and brand bonus making it expensive. Try around a bit and look what kind of things you want to do with it.

If you want one that can stand elements use one that doesn't have large steep walls that can catch winds, and find one that has tent poles that cross each other.

I have a Wechsel Pathfinder Zero G, I know many people hate on Wechsel-Tents but I'm happy with this one.

90% of hikers I run into are harmless hipsters carrying their 30lbs of Mountain House and Starbucks coffee grounds talking about how beautiful the scenery is. Cut your fucking dreadlocks off white boy.

>>706203
That still leaves 10% of deranged psychos. Also how can you be upset at people enjoying scenery. Lastly, I started balding two years ago at the distinguished age of 17.

There's already an active thread about solo hiking

I started day hiking with a Jansport school backpack. Just get a cheap REI day pack.

>>706187
>Teton oasis
$40? Looks like an alright daypack to me, go for it.

Hit a few thrift stores man. I got an old hydration pack that I love for $3 without the bladder. Been using it for about 5 years... The chest strap broke, so I might be looking for a new one soon. I was just in Target today glancing at some cheap packs and they have some like that for $30 or so, but they felt pretty cheap. If you have a Cabelas near you, they have the Bargain Cave which always seems to have some decent packs with a slight malfunction (at least at mine)

Also, Craigslist. I bought a nice Kelty backpack for $15 from some guy on Craigslist who was moving. I'd start with thrift stores first though.
