Im gonna leave my life behind and live on the road/rails for the rest of my life. Im leaving right around july or august too, and my first destination is paris. Gonna panhandle there for a bit and then move down south to spain and into portugal. I heard theres a great hippie/hobo/tramp culture down there. After that i want to go to italy, and then east europe for the nature. After that i'll see where life takes me.

We could go together from paris to spain with a hobo if you like.

I'm gunna go to Wales (you can get Eurostar to London, underground to Paddington then go west to wales.) its the most beautiful country on this planet. I'm gunna climb Snowdon, and paddle on the wye, hopefully do some canyons and waterfalls too. Caerphylly castle is a must see, and I heard there's a sweet look out up behind it.

I'm living in northern spain,, camping laws are fucking shit here and if it wasn't for fishing I'd have An hero'd

there is 0 reason to attempt to learn something like this online. go take a class

Take a class, you won't know what stuff a video left out until you're halfway up.

I would but the only place to learn is 3.5 hours away.

I'm gonna be taking a huge trip in a few months and I'm gonna be using a gopro with a chest cam and a lot of batteries and recycling sd cards. That way I get to experience everything first hand, but still get to take everything with me.

ah the ae-1 program. a classic. I do some mild wildlife photography. sometimes camp setups and such or interesting things I come across. I rarely have done a self photo and none of my friends are really very good photographers.

>Taking pictures takes me out of the moment. It kinda feels inauthentic

I know the feeling. One thing that really helps is limiting (or limiting entirely) your "chimping".

That is - Taking a photo and immediately looking at the LCD screen. Inevitably this makes you disappointed and take another and the cycle repeats.

Learn about exposure, then disable automatic LCD reviewing in the menu. Makes it much mor enjoyable and "in the moment man" etc

Maybe tomorrow or the next day, depending...

All at 39g.

>>704104
> s/b 29.5g

Sorry.

>>704105
>Upon further review:

Units must be in ounces. Back from my doper dayz, 28+ grams ==1 ounce.

There is no way my new quilt is 1 oz!

Must be 29.5oz, a bit under 2lbs.

Again, sorry for the confusion, it is all on my end.

>>704030
just random things, i usualy write down things i want to try next time i go out so i dont forget, like
>try charring fungus
>look for chaga

>>703517
You saw beetle larvae, most likely chafers of some description. They were likely eating funguses or rotting root nodules near your tree and won't damage it. However, Beetles are crazy diverse and you could have just seen carrion beetle larvae that ate your very decayed snake.

How big were they?

smaller than an inch, but exactly like the larvae in the OP but the spots are white.

this is another one. Also, i found some small white mites in the soil. I took off the entire top layer of foliage and dug out all the clover roots,

Flecktarn.

Not enough games have flektarn in them.

military gear/surplus, biker gear, protective gear from various sports, civilian hunting clothes, stuff from the construction industry and usually found in hardware stores.
browse some online stores that sell these things, see what you find

Firehole Canyon on Flaming Gorge Reservoir in Wyoming. fishing equipment depends on time of year, you could either ice fishing, trolling or bank fishing.

Reel: Shimano Sienna 1000
Line: 10lb stren braid (probably respool with power pro soon)
Rig: topwater cicarda lure, natives where i live go crazy for them!

>>702986
Isn't that 10lb mono really big for that 1000?

And you should get on the Power Pro sooner rather than later. You will never go back.

A campfire

MSR pocketrocket seems to be popular

I'm a big fan of my Primus Yellowstone Classic. It's not the lightest or fanciest stove but it's rugged as fuck and cost $20.

As for cookware I prefer stainless steel. Not the lightest stuff, but again durable and affordable.

Hey man, I just watched it. I feel like it could have been condensed a bit, you visit the same spots a few times. Also you need a better mic and a way to prevent picking up all that noise.

I enjoyed it though, thanks for uploading it.

If you want to chop wood get a normal hatchet, these are not made for wood cutting.

How do you tell?

The straight wood handle. The way history has proven what these axes and tomahawks were for.

I'm a Wisconsin Native and I honestly can't say much about our state forests/parks but I can recommend some stuff with a bit more information. When are you taking the road trip? What is your time frame for the trip? Do you want to visit the regions in any particular order?

Another Wisconsin native here. Northern highlands are loaded with lakes if you like fishing, otherwise basically everywhere but the southeast corner is woodlands or very rural

Coming from a native, stay away from the southern half of the state, but if you have to kettle moraine and the lower Wisconsin River are alright. I guess you should probably go see the dells, but it's crawling with Chicagoans in the summer. Apostle Islands is definitely the most /out/ place here. Door county is nice too.
