Idk how big you are but I'd probably go with a 3 person tent. I'm 6'2 so fitting into a 2 person tent with the gf wasn't the most comfortable

>>678516
Im 6 feet ~176 pounds and my gf is ~100 pounds and 5 feet 2.

But thanks I might pick a 3 person tent for the extra storage

>>678512
Look into Hileberg (expensive but top notch), Bergans, Helly Hansen, Helsport (not expensive but awesome quality).

I have that same hammock!

Shamless self bump to the fun fact (in case you all forgot) that in 2004, text messaging still used T9, Twitter didn't exist, and Facebook was still called; TheFacebook.

>Why is that so cringeworthy nowadays?
it isn't

btw: are you aware of the solar superstorm which missed earth in 2012?

>>677423
>it isn't
Going to have to say you're a little biased based on the fact that you're on /out/.

Most people consider preppers or even people that have BOBs to be crazy, or in the least, nuts.

>are you aware of the solar superstorm which missed earth in 2012?

No I wasn't! I am currently researching now.

PS: Still OP here, even if the poster count went up.
I had to reset my browser since the captcha wasn't loading.

He obviously teaches some pretty dangerous stuff like jumping off cliffs and climbing rather than walking around. It's entertainment.

He is pretty cool guy and tv show is good entertainment, some things are pretty funny and he cheats, but its ok to me.

Get fucked, faggot

>>673890
Most you can bodyslam into unconsciousness, but if you see a polar bear just fucking run.

On a lighter note, don't stand under a bear that's about to get tranquilized by rangers, my dad worked as one for a bit and saw a colleague get a faceful of shit. Must've been pretty hilarious desu, the guy quit a few days later.

Not op.
Cool, I will check out these videos when I get the chance. Best of luck with adding more content, I will definitely be checking this out in the future for more content.

Whats your routine when stumbling upon (and researching) an interesting place?
Here's what i do most of the times:

>Step 1: Basic Internet search
Checking whats to find about it on Google and Google Earth/Maps. The downloaded version of Google Earth offers the option to use old satellite maps wich shows some places in better conditions, or with less trees wich sometimes opens the view to parts that were hidden before. Sometimes pictures made by other explorers are aviable, giving a good look at what will await me.

>Step 2: A first look
If the place isnt that far away and/or the info found is blurry, i take a first sneak peek without any exploration gear and without entering the place itself.
>Isnt this a waste of time?
Satellite maps and pictures on the internet can be horribly outdated sometimes. Ive found enough places demolished and overbuilt by houses while the maps still showed the old buildings. For me it is a bigger waste of time to go there, carrying all my stuff with me and finding nothing in the end.

I often just walk around the Place in some distance while keeping my movements legal and unsuspicious (walking on official paths or streets). This is helpful to find new entrance possibilities or to check if my old planned routes are still in a good condition.

>Step 3: Preparations
With the info collected i finally plan from where i enter the building and where i will probably leave it. Having some extra escape routes in case of angry owners or shady residents is also recommended.

saw this for sale, kinda want

What is the Mora of /out/ cars?

>>660672
No such thing. If you buy low price cars and beat the shit out of them without taking any care of them over and over again, then you'd either be a fucking idiot or you bought them with daddy's money.

>>685651
1st for day-drinking busch light and shitposting in fishing threads

>woooo

>>685667
Sounds nice. Except for the Busch Light. Get on some heavy duty Natural Ice.

Bass Pro has some big "Spring Fishing" deal and I guess tomorrow if you are a rewards member, you can get the sale prices early. But there aren't any good deals on rods or reels unless it is store brand. 25% off Spider Wire, sales on some lures, and then some random rebates but I hate rebates. I'm never going to take the time to fill them out and mail them.

>Get on some heavy duty Natural Ice.

natty ice was what everyone around here drank in high school at the pasture parties.

My dad and my best friend's dad both drink busch and I always raid their beer fridges when I'm in town so I've gotten acclimated to the taste but busch light has slightly fewer calories, gotta get that summer bod for reeling in the qt's while fishing shirtless in a 40 year old, objectively ugly boat while I'm out on the lake this year.

>>679102
Idk senpai, I'm American, I don't have these problems.

>>679102
not everyone lives in an area that permits funs. Also, ammo runs out. Obviously you should get a gun and ammo if you can, but I can see why people focus on weapons that can't run out of ammo.

>>679107
This.

Of course it doesn't make having a gun a bad idea, as long as you're not an idiot, which 9/10 Americans are blithering fucking idiots and more likely to shoot themselves or someone they love than anyone or anything that is an actual threat.

The downsides of guns in a shtf situation are myriad - ammo being the primary one - it's heavy and should shit really hit the fan, would be difficult to acquire more. Having lots of guns and lots of ammo stockpiled only makes sense if you have a small army to man your stockpile because you only have two hands. Depending on the scenario you may have to bug out and guess where all the ammo, gun stockpile and shit loads of "survival" food and supplies goes when you do.

Cool

Sorry, I don't buy gear just to own it and think it is cool, but I really go /out/doors and use it.

Don't limit yourself to the names I mentioned. Who do you really like/dislike watching on YT? I personally like https://www.youtube.com/user/BlackOwlOutdoors, they do a bit of everything. They even have a pretty 2-part episode on making firestarters at home.

"Welcome to Black Owl Outdoors official YouTube page. We shoot all of our HD videos in the great outdoors and our topics vary with our interests. We do bushcraft type stuff. We talk about plants. We talk about rocks. We talk about water. We talk about animals. We talk about places..."

But nowdays manny of the channels are you too much towards to gear reviews and shilling. Companies sends them lots of free money just so them can post a video at new gear on ytb. A big chanel is a win-win situation.
We're talking about people with 30k, 50k, 100k, 200k 300k subscribers. You can live out of YouTube revenue.

>mrw i put too much DEET cream on my face

>>684733
DEET is probably the best option, another would be wearing long sleeves and pants. I have a few long sleeve shirts that are very light. UV 30 proof and help keep unwanted bugs off of you.

>>684512
I think that freeze dried actually tastes better than canned plus freeze dried doesn't require you to dirty up a kettle to prepare it or a dish to serve it in. There's no cleanup required cuz you heat it and eat it from the pouch it comes in...

>>684512
Because you don't carry the water, you find it /out/
However, I usually stick to cheaper stuff from the regular grocery store

Here the lastest one. I cant use conibears, because the cats my get into them.. So, I have to live traps. The sheriff comes and picks up the cats & takes them to the shelter. This cat is still here until Monday when the shelter opens back up.

so, if I catch a possum or raccoon, I gotta deal with it myself..

I cant simply put the dirty/stinky/shit covered cage in my car and take them someone and turn them loose to be someone elses problem..

and animal control doesn't want them; and they tear up my stuff so I cant let them loose here.
