>Liberal scum spotted.

Coyotes are varmint scum that kill chickens, cats and dogs and other farm animals.

Fuck em and fuck you.

Pretty comfy, but! I just blew apart two pairs in a year and a half. I had the steel trax and the direct attach.
Personally bro, I wouldn't buy em man. Put that money towards something else higher end. I wish I had.... I bought two pairs in a buy one get one half off and thought I was going to be a great deal. In the end I just shoulda bought one good pair of boots. Looking at Ariats and Danners now. Prolly going to save up and get some when I can.

Depends on what you want to do wirh them. As a everyday/work/trail boot they're great. I wouldn't go scrambling over granite tarns and back country scree fields with them, though.

Let me add to my post here that the ones in your picture... (I think they're the direct attach 6") are completely water proof up to the laces. I work in a bakery so I'm not scrambling over rocks all the time but I DO go out and do a fuck load of walking. I wore these bitches out.

just do it. go out, make camp and go to sleep. have a possible exit, replace gear and methods if they don't work.

awesome movie.

Another thing noobs are worried about is gear quality.
Tents for example; how cheap is too cheap?

This is my old milspec 12inch Bowie I had. Gave it away to friend when I bought myself a new one. The only pic I have left of the knife. Will post new one now.

This one is on Amazon for very cheap if you just like to have a big knife or whatever. I would recommend for first one until you decide to trade up for something more specific you like.

spell it correctly you dumb nigger

Your goals:

-augment your long term food supplies for the summer and coming winter
-finding a reliable method to travel fair distances (10km) and carry up to 25lb of goods
-having a consistent method of non-electric light
-a source of easily accepted currency with which to barter or purchase needed items
-possible short term methods of heating (or improved insulation) and water purification
-reliable method of protecting your property from looters (who are sometimes armed with guns but more commonly consist of 4-5 individuals with baseball bats, hammers, etc.)

You may travel up to the distance your vehicle could travel on a 3/4 full tank of gas and may bring any supplies you now have. You may also travel by any other method (bike, dog sled, hang glider or whatever) indefinitely far but either must be able to carry or obtain food to consistently sustain yourself. There is some safety in groups as robbers will be less likely to attack unless the reward is substantial and merits the risk.

Good Luck.

I drive a house through your tank, and Steal your shit. Become president, and restore power to the grid.

> don' know where to put it

Well of course you put the closed cell pad on the ground if you are in the hammock! Anything else would be counter-intuitive.

How do you survive this complex world?

i was gonna hike the TCT through like, 4 provinces. havent done much hiking before but im confident.

>>666345
The only real tip I could say about thru-hiking is that exploring off the trail, and side trails are more fun than thru-hiking primarily because there are less people. I am not a completist or a box-checker though

>>666345
Not really a thru-hiker since but last year in February I hiked 250km, the only tip I can give is pack light and watch out your feet. Your fucking feet.

Get a waffle long sleeve/thermal long sleeve shirt, a 3-5mm neoprene wetsuit jacket, and what ever hoodie you own on top for a hood and pockets.
I use this layer system and was outside replacing a heater core for about 8 hours at a time at around -10F with high humidity.

This jacket right here is the shit, family.
>take out liner, can wear comfortably up to 70f/21c
>with liner i've worn it comfortably down to -6f/-21c with nothing but an undershirt underneath, im sure i could go lower

if you add another small later of insulation under that i imagine you could wear it to -30c or even lower quite comfortably.

Try Helly Hansens line Helly Tech instead of meme fjallraven, cheaper and better. But also, if you want something truly good for that kind of weather you have to pay, no way around it. You can only evade paying too much.
