Kek

Haven't made a FAK yet but do you have any recommendations for one in a desert environment?

This is what our coyotes look like

Those are big ears on that thing anon, looks like the ones on a german Shepard, same narrow looking face.

>Those are big ears on that thing anon,
That's what got me. Wolves here hunt mainly by smell and sight so they don't really need big ears. Coyote's in our area use their ears when hunting small things like mice and voles. I just can't state how 100% positive I am it wasn't someones dog. I'm off work on Fridays so nobody really goes into the woods during the daytime because they work.

>>669618
i am not.

It's just another knife.

>>669792
well you better get ready.

ready for what might be the most memable piece of /out/ gear of 2016.

ready for thread after thread musing the amazing increase in utility delivered by the full tang.

ready for photos of full tang moras in pristine, showroom new condition, alongside assertions that they could be batoned through a granite boulder, serve as a springboard for felling, replce the entire grandsfors catalog, slice bologna, and the like.

get ready.

What I'd do is bring you think you'd need and wing it. If you forgot something you need, try to make it. Making things would add some fun and experience anyways.

Bring a notepad and paper and try to keep track of what you used and how much. If you used something once, or never used it, consider not bringing it for next time (unless it's something like a first aid kit. You catch my drift?)

Depending on your environment, you may not need things that others would. Watch for things such as weather conditions, wildlife and plants (not too big an issue with plants).

Worst case, you can always head on home. Just be safe and let someone know where you are going and how long you plan to be gone for. If able, even try to check in once or twice in the week.

>>669871
Stagnant water are not safe. I recomand a mix of boiling and filtering.

You are going to learn how to dig if you want to do the same. I am not joking. Diging a mouse hole is one thing, digging a shelter that can house a hand of people for days, with a roof that cannot be seen is something else.

Do you even know how to build a roof over you head without leaving axed trees?

>>669871
I think of something. Why don't you make stealth camping instead? The fells will be real.

>>675647
A comb and paper comes to mind.

Be advised I camp alone, so ymmv.

>>675647
Have you tried the skin flute?

Why would you get a liquid fuel stove for short trips? Is it high altitude? Low temperature?

>>669769
It's hard to get butane canisters where I live.

Been using a whisperlite for 20 years
I didn't know they still made them

It's pretty easy to use and clean if it gets clogged.
The weak link is the pump. I carry a spare on long trips

yikes... you sound like a super beta faggot dude.

This is not going to work, you'll make an ass of yourself and leave with your tail between your legs full of regret like a bitch.

>>679034
Holy shit. Looks like some people missed out on the rules growing up.
Rule #1- don't be "That Guy"
You will become "That Guy who tries to break up a relationship to get with a girl because, dick stiff"
Don't ever be "That Guy"

>>679036
>super beta faggot dude.
Protip: I'm not

>This is not going to work
Maybe, but I'll try it anyway

>you'll make an ass of yourself and leave with your tail between your legs full of regret like a bitch.
No, I don't

Now post ideas or gtfo

>asking other people what you'll learn about yourself

could you get any more pathetic op?

>>674612
I'm asking others for their personal experiences

You'll come back a happier more serene version of yourself. That always seems to happen to me when I go camping.

I'd suggest taking a copy of The Sand County Alamanc by Aldo Leopold and reading it while you're out there if you're interested in /out/ philosophy

Sup nod and walk past

I always say hi, and never travel with people. I want to be nice, but I want to be alone. Most other people do too. In the rare and horrifying case that someone on the trail is lonely and desperately searching for a friend (like old people in line at the grocery store) you don't want to give them much opportunity to engage with you and start a conversation, otherwise yer fukt. Smile, glance at them quickly with a quick greeting, look down and keep moving.

Just a "hello" and DAS IT MANE.

I get pretty autistic with strangers. I prefer to stop and let them pass or avoid them altogether.

Only on crowded places I may exchange some words, but only with old men.

If they have dogs I am playful with them though. Dogs are master race and the only strangers I welcome

We are experts on lowering cars here on /out/. First you'll need to sell your car. Then you'll need to go outside.

Lift weights, get swole, bout the only thing I can do with my shit genetics.

I go to the gym, i like doing an incline on the treadmill and elliptical.

Ive got a woods microlite rated at 40 F.
I usually just use a fleece liner with it in the winter. Have slept comfortably down to 23F with this setup. Been thinking about picking a Kelty Cosmic Down 0 degree bag. Any anons have experience with this bag? I mostly due long distance hikes so weight is sort of an issue. If it wasnt I would probably just get a modular sleep system but 12 fucking pounds is too much for a bag.

My winter setup is a Western Mountaineering Ultralight. It's rated to 20 degrees F, but I've slept in it comfortably down to around 0 degrees F using a silk liner.

Anybody have any suggestions for an affordable 30-40 deg rated bag? I want to start backpacking and all I have is the bulky crap one I used as a kid. I don't have a ton of money, but I can save if I have to.

I picked them up but noticed wolf hair and little spots of what looked like blood next to them. Trappers

I followed footprints for about a half mile into the woods when I came across a trap line marker. I left them a present.

Best bit of the story is that they neither need nor use their blades nor go /out/, the just post pics of shiny blades in mint conditions, and what they could do with them if ever...
Knifefags are the bottom tier residents of /out/, right on par with the /k/ spillover

>>675058
/out/ is just /k/ light, that's why all the /k/ stuff like guns knives and patches get so much attention

>>675056
just learn to live with it and post in a way that you deem suitable. there will always be knife threads and if the effect they have is making people who post useful stuff here leave (or just constantly bitch about knife threads) then that won't help matters.

the only person you can control in this situation is yourself, so in short, deal with it.
