How you handle vision correction while /out/?

I'm badly nearsighted, I wear glasses at my desk job and contacts when I'm doing something more active.

That works fine for day trips but if I wanted to spend a few days camping, what's the best approach? Being blind in the middle of the woods is a horrifying thought.

>what's the best approach?

wear a blindfold for a year and heighten your other senses

Just put one of those little necklace type lanyards that attach to each arm of your frames so they don't fall off your face and break.

Might look nerdy/goofy but it's better than bringing all the shit to put your contacts in and out when /out/ while avoiding getting shit in your eye

Long story short I'm going to end up homeless for awhile and don't have money to stay at a hotel. How is stealth camping in Canada?

My plan is to stealth camp in the wilderness, hunt wild game for food and going back to town once in awhile for supplies. I don't plan on going near cities.

What i'm afraid of is getting mugged and confronting rangers. Has anyone done this before? How long will I last in the Canadian wilderness senpai i need to know before I start buying gear.

You're fucked. You obviously have no idea what you're doing or how to do it.
Just fucking get a job and live in a tent in the woods.
I see all sorts of lazy fucks around town bumming it. Maybe tthey earn enough to not need a job, but they sure as shit aren't "hunting wild game in the woods" and shit.
Get some min wage shit job, buy food, bum it in the woods or around town.
You're not going to last a week in the wilderness.

I just bought this bug bivy on ebay for $32. I'm going to match it up with my trekking poles and a nylon tarp if it rains. How did I do?

you did great...
at being a useless attention whore faggot

>>671856
The ideal thing would be a tarp desinged to cover your bivy directly.
It would need a door, obviously.... And maybe we could keep some additional space protected from rain too...
I wish something like this existed on the market...

I MYOG quite a bit. Almost always cheaper, always fit my needs better than commercial gear. Pic is my roll-top alcohol stove (coca-cola bottle). I've also done a cocoon hammock, hammock straps, several bike bags and I am currently dehydrating and vacuum-packing meals. Next up is Tyvek reflex rain pants and poncho. Will probably make a bivvy with this as well as a backup for my SOL Escape bivvy.

I made my own Jecklin Disk for field recording. Commerically sold ones cost three-hunnred dollars or more, and not only are they not fucking worth anything close to that, they also seem to have a number of limitations and design flaws. It's fucking ridiculous. Anyway, mine's not especially pretty looking but it sounds as beautiful as an adolescent orgasm. >:]

Trying to get all of your criteria in that price range is a bad idea, sorry. Post your local craigslist I think.

>>673186
I already looked up my local craigslist, full of overpriced beat up crap.

I'll probably go to performancebike, they are a cycling retailer near me. They might have on the floor deals, but from what i've seen online, there's roughly ~12-15 models in my under $500 price range on their website,

My main problem is I have no idea what's the difference between all of them since I really don't do bikes.

Heat up water on stove, use dish brush if you don't want to get wet or use waterproof gloves.
