is this real? whats the mystery about, which valley the fire is in and whether it requires initial attack?

With good insoles maybe but I fear for your feet regardless depending how far you go. Might want to waterproof them too.

Also have fun slipping in mud when it rains.

If you're going to get combat boots at least get something decent.

That has always been my dream, but life took me towards other paths :(

I worked with the Montana and Wyoming corps this summer working with the NPS. They seemed to have a good time, it's definitely a lot of work, but they get to see and do some pretty amazing things and you make some lifelong friends.

Haven't heard anything glaringly negative, but what I have heard vouches for >>673577 statements. If you can, time in the corp is perfect for sc/out/s.

I can answer any questions about American Conservation Experience (ACE) if anyone has any or are thinking about joining a Corp.

>bushcraft gear for "survival" stupid when your tools weigh more than the things you intend to make with them (bringing an axe, knife and saw to make a shelter instead of a tent/tarp/hammock)


The bushcraft mind set is that you carry the tools you need and not much else. What would happen if your tarp / tent fucked up? Its a more long term ideology.

>taking dogs on longer (multiple day) hikes is for wolfaboo faggots who want to act cool.
>taking survival food on trips shorter than 3 days is retarded.
>bringing a fuck huge bag of supplies with you for longer trips is still fucking retarded and means you're too stupid to survive, stay in your city environment pleb.
>bringing more than 3 multi purpose knifes.
>camping pillow and mattresses


and people who purposely go on hikes with great views just to take a fucking garbage mobile phone camera.

>>668745
you can take multi purpose tools or learn how to fucking use a knife instead of carrying a goddamn pickaxe and other worthless shit you won't be using anyway.

I went full autism and stitched together most of the stuff I have going on indoors right now, all pics from today
(s) means from seed, (p) from pruning, dates are when approx. the first ones sprouted or developed roots respectively, also added how long it took for that

Location is roughly 50°N 8°E

(1)-(9) are on an ENE-facing window at ~18-22°C,
(10)-(11) as well as 3rd pic of (1) under a grow light that runs 14h/day in the same room
(12)-(14) ENE-facing window at ~13-17°C
(15)-(16) SSE-facing window at ~15-18°C
(17)-(21) WSW-facing window at ~15°C

Now some comments
(1) Seeds pulled from a fresh fruit from a tree in Dalmatia, Croatia. Was surprised at the high germ rate, grow well generally but dunno what causes chlorosis in the ones under the grow light
(2) Seeds from store-brought fruit. Sprouted well but are slowly dying, barely any growth
(3) Almost all the cuttings grew roots quickly, slow-growing but steady since then, a few died to fungus gnats I believe
(6) Found the tomato seedlings pop up in a pot with garden soil I use to grow the watermelon seedling in, probably seeds that were left in the soil from summer
(7) This one is going slower than expected (but luckily so)

(continue...)

>>672935
(8) Stupid olive prunings I took in late September still show no roots. Added a willow stick from the garden because it apparently encourages root growth in other cuttings, but it only developped roots itself and is sprouting massively. Also added more privet cuttings 2 weeks ago (but I know they take forever), as well as a cypress one a few days ago, let's see how those will do
(9) Finally on my 3rd attempt I got pomegranate to sprout, maybe the seed scarcification I did this time and putting them on 30°C was the key
(10) Had to put them under grow light because they etiolated a lot so I had to prune them consistently before. The light seems to work, they're growing much more bushy now
(11) Only one out of the 5 or so seeds I put in the soil sprouted, slow going, also some chlorosis for whatever reason
(12) The 'nigra' variety is the only one which kept its naturally reddish leaves over all the months in the water glass before rooting, others dropped their green ones eventually but still grew roots
(14) The laggish growth has improved a bit since I wrapped alu foil around it to the room facing side and put in the colder room

(continue...)

I'd actually like an alpaca blanket. That sounds comfy.

>>667577
Yeah sure, been thinking about getting some wool fabric for a blanket, if you can offer a decent deal on good quality stuff I'd be in.

I wouldn't mind one. How much would so ell one for and what are the dimensions?

You have to be 18 to post on 4chan.

>>681138
Where do you live¿

I guess you don't and then realise your parents are smart people that don't want to hurt animals for no reason

sounds like you know this, but mineral rights are a serious fucking deal, so do your research before you step on someone's goes. claims are a matter of public record, but i don't know where to get them. start at the county building, maybe? they could probably at least tell you where you need to go to find out.

Look into getting a membership with the Gold Prospector's Association of America. Part of the benefit of membership is that have 100s of private claims across the country that members can access. An added benefit of membership is their mining guide publication that tells you about each claim, what to expect, and turn-by-turn directions. It also lists all the public places in the US you can prospect. You also get a periodic newspaper that updates you with newly added claims.

Here's the link about memberships:

wow op you are so rad!

Im too busy building them

Yes bring a fucking gun u idiot. Don't be one of those people we have to remind all the other lower 48 fags not to be like

Also bring a bug net, life straw, ham radio etc.
It's pretty warm up there in the summer so a floor mat and poncho liner will suffice

>gun
>unseful against animals that can't harm you
>not useful against animals that could harm you
whatever bro if you want to go shooting things just do it and embrace it for what it is, and don't search for justification

Having never owned one, I can see a bit of a sheen on yours, does the shaft have a varnish or lacquer on it?

cuts in five minutes. I better like the ones with the strap on the sheath though, they tend to keep better.

ive never owned a husqvarna axe myself i must say im pretty interested in it.

as far as i understand it it goes

Gransfors Bruks > Weterlings > hultafors >husqvarna

so husqvarna is at the bottom rung. dont get me wrong i love husqvarna i mean goddamn my husqvarna lawnmower has run without flaw almost 20 years now. but that doesnt mean the axes will be compareablr. especialy now that most of the factories are .... eeeeh what the heck this got waaay to confusing to write out, ive only owned gransfors(ignore Biltema) and hultafors (ignore Bahco) axes. how does a Husqvarna axe stand up?

for a beginner hte best gear is the comfiest gear. shops often have a point shere you can hang from/sit in the harness to tell if you hate it.

I'd recommend starting with bouldering as it is cheaper to start. You plan on gym climbing or actually being /out/?

I recently upgraded to pic related for a harness. I have a cheaper BD harness and it was way uncomfortable to hang in for any length of time. The DMM is a world of difference.

Here's some of my stuff from when I was first starting to collect gear. Not shown is a 70m Sterling rope, shoes, helmets, nuts, and some more alpine draws. I suppose I'm due to take another gear picture.

>>657885

Really should post pics of what's in the bag.

The bag itself, for those who haven't seen one. The strap can be unfurled and used as a waist belt or attached to the 'D rings' on top above the grab handle and used as a shoulder strap.
