Its really not that bad. Check out /r/almosthomeless and /r/homeless

I think that people who are about to be homeless come here looking for outdoors advice. It's not that they browse /out/ and then end up homeless.

>>665357
This x1000. If any one them had experience /out/ they would probably not be asking us how to go /out/. They might be asking more urban specific questions but not 'how do I survive the winter?'

Why not check out one of the three backpack threads we already have, anon?

I got the daylight backpack from Tom bihn for my get home bag. I know it's not as tactical as other bags, but I hear the aeronaut is a great bag. Durable as fuck too, especially if you get the dyneema bag if you're willing to put up with the fucking stripes.

I'm from Belfast and me and my mates always go up the Mourne Mountains. They're pretty good, but you're not really far from civ most of the time.

I've been considering going up to Donegal to see what the craic is up there with camping and stuff.

Now, we usually drink cow's milk, which is fine and dandy. Cow's milk is great tasting and nutritious. But one more advantage of powdered milk is that it can also be sourced from a different source. This is where my photo comes in. Powdered breast milk substitutes are very common in most supermarkets and it got me thinking. Wouldn't breast milk be a better choice than cow milk? Breast milk is made for humans to drink. Our bodies are already suited to turning breast milk into fuel, so wouldn't this be a GOAT /out/ drink? You can throw a can in your pack and have access to nature's bounty at any moment. Dissolve the powder in any cup or thermos and you've got a healthy, nutritious power drink ready to go.

Any thoughts, /out/? Has anyone tried this stuff before? I have a few samples that I found in my mailbox. It seems like a great idea, I just want to get a taste test before I buy a whole can for my B.O.B.

I've taken powdered milk into the back country. It works fine. I've mainly used it for the Knorr (formerly Lipton) noodle mixes which gives a nice, hearty meal. I usually portion it out into zip-top snack bags. Its worth it if you have the ounces to spare - and space is more of a concern than anything (it is quite light for the volume).

Haven't heard that song in a while. I think for me it's gotta be Heard Them Stirring, by the one and only Fleet Foxes.

Here's the one without the number.

Let me get this straight.
You are planning on sleeping in your car and want advice on how to make it warmer?

It's a car. You can bring sleeping bags, blankets, woolies, PJs, hats, mittens, union suits, hot water bottles, etc.

People don't actually hunt mountain lions right?

I do have a wedge but I don't carry it with me. I've never really needed to split wood outside of home use. I can see where it would be a good carry while /out/ if you know you're going to need a lot of lumber for fires. Mine always gives me great uniform splits, and you can use absolutely anything to drive it. Never let me down once. Tip: its best to leave it dull , that way the split goes with the grain. I have seen people sharpen their splitting wedge, but this allows the wedge to cut its own path and you end up working against the grain of the wood creating a LOT of friction.

I have several wedges of different sizes, not sure what material they are but they are heavy

Ampco Safety Tools flange wedge

I give it five stars, works great. Though I don't end up needing it much... when i do its a life-saver.
Is wedge-ing really a thing?

pic related, from amazon.. sorry I don't have pictures of my wedge just floating around.

I guess if I were alpine day hiking and didn't have a tent with me it MIGHT be useful. Seems like dead weight for 99% of /out/ use.

>>671267
I'll have a tent, but if the weather suddenly changes, i might not be able to get it set up.

why not just use the storm shelter as a tent?

Bump for interest. Not a pro but I love climbing trees, ever since I was a kid. Have pruned the trees at home and at my parents place.

Current student here, just passed my basic tree inspection certificate. Not too keen on going on to becoming a straight up tree surgeon.Looking more over to the ranger side.

Also, is it worth going on to study university level abroiculture?

Any advice from Arborists would be appreciated.

Coincidentially, I own a Xenith 105

The deuter ACT lite is a little cheaper while still boasting good quality. Maybe check out granite gear, their stuff can be a little less expensive. Otherwise I don't know of many other quality brands making a 70L cheaper than that. Or just get something on sale...

>>667231
Check out Kelty or Alpine Designs.

Stay away from Jansport, they make good bookbags but their trail packs went to shit after VF outdoor bought them.

Also, check the clearance sales at sites like REI Outlet, Sierra Trading, Moose jaw, etc. It's off season so retailers will be clearing out inventory to make room for new spring models.

Where about do you live?
Check if you're going to have to follow building code etc

Budget?
Any carpentry experience?

small solar panel will not be able to support the refrigerator. The power usage on them in pretty insane.

Oklahoma, we already checked, no permits. As for the budget, I have no idea.
