Pick one or just stop the meme, I want to get off!

>>still pushing the 'Morabad' meme.

I wanna do the exact same thing. When are you planning it?

>>671320
Late April/early May, or in August. Not sure yet.

Am i retarded for wanting to hike Scotland in February.

Kind of a the wrong board. Most everyone here won't consider that really camping (including me)

May as well stay at a hotel and go on day trips... Especially if you're considering dropping that much coin to go on a three week trip.

>>665996
Well the point really is to get as far away from civilization as possible, and obviously that is incompatible with either staying in a hotel or hiking, because one cannot reasonably hike hundreds of miles from the nearest settlement.

Semi-serrated tonto folder.
Leather belt.
BIC lighter.
GPS maps on phone.
Emergency Jackson ($20 bill).

I honestly don't think I would ever find myself in a situation where I couldn't make do as long as I had those five things.

This thread makes me glad I'm a NEET. I can't imagine gathering all that crap up just to go to work.

My edc is wallet, phone and keys.

I occationally bring a multitool if I'm doing stuff and a flashlight cause winter is dark.

Don't torrent anything. Start by going on short range overnight camping trips and day hikes.

If you do what you're thinking of you're going to end up buying a tonne of shit and never using it.

I'm looking for an education, not a shopping list.

>I'm looking for an education
Then go /out/ as the other guy said.

To what end do you want that information? Just to masturbate to survival/bug out fantasies? Or do you actually want to get out?

what constitutes "cheap" to you?

>>666926
Preferably free, but anything under $500 really.

>>666928
>$500

Coyote call and Savage Axis in .223 Rem.

Tetons are breathtaking
Yellowstone is fantastic if you go in the back country and stay the fuck away from tourists
Laramie is also known as Laradise for a reason
Bighorn Mountains are amazing
Devils Tower is a sight to see and climb
Thermopolis has some nice hot springs

>>669203
I wanted to stay a night in laramie and then do a day hike in Medicine Bow forest/mountains. Is this is a tight spot?

I keep hearing about The Grand Tetons. Are Grizzlies a major concern if I go hiking there? Also, is it better than checking out maroon bells in Aspen, CO?

Fun fact: Wyoming is the tenth largest state but has the least number of people (<600,000)

Bowhunting is very demanding, and many people who try it aren't skilled enough marksmen to consistently make clean kills. If you're not confident you can kill cleanly, don't shoot. I assume you're in the states, so I have to ask why you don't hunt with a firearm of some sort to start out. Basic shotguns and muzzleloaders can be had for less than $200 and aren't hard to shoot accurately within their effective ranges.

The best advice I can offer is to scout hard before the season opens and have places you plan to hunt depending on the wind. If you can't set up permanent ladder stands, use a climbing stand.

Set up on heavily used deer trails away from roads.

Don't be afraid to use decoys, calls and scents to bring deer into range. You need them quite close. If you're hunting during the rut and don't have a quality estrus urine wick deployed, you're cheating yourself. Adjust your setup by the time of year. Before the rut, just use confidence decoys and plain urine. Try using a fawn bleat to bring in doe, if you're allowed to shoot them. During the rut, bring out the expensive estrus pee and adjust your setup to try and draw in rutting bucks.

More important than the setup, though, is scouting. You absolutely have to scout your spots when bow hunting.

What kind of terrain are we talking about?

>>671158
btw I killed a massive ten-point with one side broken off this afternoon. It's a crying shame he wasn't intact but I guess the antlers will have what they call character.

My best hunting story is the time my father shot a hog through the lungs with a .270 and it ran a half mile from where he shot it and died right in front of me. Crazy coincidence and he might not have found it otherwise because the blood trail was so spotty.

I've mostly hunted the American south and Namibia, so come at me with questions or requests related to that.

Dont shoot a deer with a .30-378.

>There's no palm trees in Portland
OP, where in Stumpville do you go exploring? Montgomery Ward industrial? FUCKING EXPLAIN YOURSELF.

>>668150
Which Portland?

>>668164
Oregon

Sorry for all the typos and repetitive words, didn't read it over.

>>667972
try don't fall in first place.

in this case i believe you really do hold your nose closed, as you could drown on your own shock. otherwise i have no experience.

I applied to Treeline Reforestation last season. I didn't get a job ;_;

Best of luck out there though.

>>666021
Just hear about this the other day, seems really fun. Am i just being naive?

>>666021
In america we just hire Mexicans to plant new trees. Those guys can do 5,000 in a day

Buy a chainsaw, much scarier and can process more wood.

DO some initial research and come back with some more specific questions, I mean fuck if you want something put in just a LITTLE effort, its not our prerogative to give you all the information you think you need.

>>664983
not true. its easy to assume OP believes that someone else has put legwork in and found a model of kukri that isnt all show. this is his research moron

at OP, the sog sogfari is a popular kukri for both its price and effectiveness

>tfw next cast after the big bass, I get a 14" bass on the same lure
>Starting to love this yellow Mepps #3 with the silver blade
>Snag it on a rock a couple casts later

I'm sad now. I have an excuse to go back to Bass Pro now. Or maybe I will order from their website. Better selection, I'm going to grab another yellow/silver in size 2 and 3 and possibly 4. I think I already have that color combo in 0 and maybe 1.

>>663903
Go for a swim bruh

>>670935
OP this is cool shit, but let's not be silly this doesn't look like Bumblefuck. That pathway/general area looks tread-upon as fuck. I'm guessing this is like 5mins from the road. Where is this? I wanna hike out there with you. We can eat mushies and pretend to swim around in the pool and then maybe just see what happens :3

>>670935
Build a skate park, they will come.

That's what I was gonna say.

Back in the day, my buddy and I found an abandoned pool. Spent a couple days draining the water out with buckets and cleaning it up, and then we shredded the gnar.

I thought about getting a pack but they seem awful expensive for something that I won't really need because I'm setting up a forward base. So I'll just get one of those camo duffel bags from gander mtn. But maybe i'll get a cheap alice pack or something. what are good packs in that price range?

I should also note that I'm from the northeastern united states of freedom.

>I don't waste all my money on rent
Do yourself a favor and find some friends or family to move in with. You won't be able to find a job when you smell like shit and are developing trench foot. You have enough money to rent a place for a few months anyway, what the fuck?
>hot tent
No such thing, you need a good sleeping bag.
>last a decade
lol not if you expect to make it your home for that long

Most people who go live in the woods take a hell of a lot longer to get back on their feet, if ever. Go stay at a homeless shelter and apply for jobs. Don't be a try hard anon, we believe in you. I believe in you.
