That headlamp is pretty great. I have been using flashlights like a poor person for way too long.

I have a pot and bowl that snug in on each other and have a cover that strings them up. I can fit a mini stove inside. /cosy/

My favourite piece of kit when I'm actually out is usually the stuff I wouldn't care to mention, but water tight compression sacks. Keeps everything tidy and dry (for as long as I can manage anyway).

>>668397
What mug is that?

50 are you fucking kidding me ? Should have just stayed home. what an asshole.

I generally just tip with a rip.

We're all above average. But John Denver was God-tier.

For that guy in the picture? A huge meme.

He's clearly in his back yard. He's batoning a piece of wood big enough to burn by itself once a fire is established. The piece he has chosen to baton could even be hardened since it looks like it's already been in a fire.

That fucking nigger even has a well used batoning baton.

I bet if you gave him shit for it he'd just be all like "Yeah well, I did it to test my gear. I want things like this to happen to me in my back yard, not out in the wilderness!"

Batoning is with a knife is something you do in an emergency or at most very VERY fucking occasionally for lulz. It shouldn't be a primary method.

An extreme meme.

Never in my life have I know or heard of a native or daily knife user that has ever batoned in his life.

I have never batoned in my life. It is not a necessity, even in an emergency, I dont know how one would need to baton for firewood.

I like how the backyard youtube survivalists baton just as a test of toughness that will make manufacturers come out with solid products, but I also miss knives that are thin and can actually cut well.

Arguably the worst part about batoning is that it conveys the idea that a knife with a hidden tang or a rat tail is automatically shit, when in fact it's not the case.

>About 85,000 people use the path every year
So you've got 230 people on it every day. Seems a bit over crowded to me.

I'm wandering the highlands in late February but making my own path.

I'm thinking of going in March, although the alternate route described in this link sounds pretty appealing: http://www.c8h10n4o2.org/walking/highland_highway/

>>669810
Why do you have to take a specific route? Just go walk.

How come masturbating isnt a sport?

>>665711
It's a sport if you sweat. That's the rule.

I would fap to that my friend.

So far I just own a 22lr Cz 455 thumbhole.
Got it mostly for plinking and some small game hunting down the line.

Pic related, not mine though.

Now I'm looking to invest in a beretta shotgun in 12GA and a Tikka T3 in .308.

1MB, 2048x1536px

Just my levers and pumps and still missing a few, Savage M99 in .308 and Marlin M1895 in .45-70 not present.

I have one shotgun for hunting. Rem 870 express super magnum. Want to get a rifle too eventually.

I gues on half the trips one latches on.

Last one that got me crawled in my butcrack and I had to ask a buddy to remove it. It was kinda awkward.

>>665571
Totally not gay.

Literally every fucking time, my dogs have spot on stuff so the ticks leave them alone but lucky me I get all the attention. Anyone got any suggestions to keep them off? DEET is fucking useless.

looks bretty good, interested

I bet there is a strong correlation between a board's level of autism/aspergers and the per capita patch sales. Or at least the variety of patches on offer.

I had 59 orders varying in amounts of patches per order but averaging something like 2 per order.

Patches are used for backpacks,caps and clothes anon's want to put them on. Some anon's collects them just for the sake of making a patch quilt to hang up somewhere in the house.

I have even seen some patches on gun straps ha ha!

The making and design of patches are submitted by Anons and I usually put a demo up in 3 day's to show them. If there is anything they don't like I make fixes and put it on the store.

It's a fun hobby I don't think it's got much to do with mental illness as you think. It's more board culture than anything else if you ask me.

Are you a native? If so, what county? If not, when and where will you be visiting?

Weren't you told in the OTHER Florida thread just yesterday to take up aligator wrestling or did you not use the catalog again?

I picked up the same shovel, pretty light.

Any advice on updating this old frame I have, the original hip belt and straps were trash.

I assume you're W of the rockies? We're about to get that same system here in a couple hours.

>>645973
> W of Rocks

Assuming is appropriate.

Dave C has a video on A.L.I.C.E. frame mods worth wacthing, I fuger frame doesn't matter. This one is longer than A.L.I.C.E. with a far better hip belt. I may look into better sholder straps after some mileage.

Drilling holes for eyebolts or installing cleats for lash points.

Adding various Maxpedition/Blackhawk type modular bags and pouches for custom carry.

I'm thinking pool noodle or foam pipe insulation to pad the frame for strapping on a rifle or such.

My main focus is adaptability of carrying firewood to milk crates to giant drybag, strapping on a shovel, axe, snowshoes and rifle to Stanley Packer tote or cooler.

Tags are still one it, but you see my direction.

With better sholder straps, it could go up to 75#s + and still be comfy for 25 miles.

>>645981
One last thhing, people are replacing shit A.L.I.C.E. straps and belts with MOLLE straps and belts ("Hellcat" mod I think), you might look to milsurp stores or ebay for those or google img mod. for ideas.

Either of these two will work, depending on what's available.

good idea kevin let him rest a huge post of chili on burning wood so people can gather around to watch its spill when then wood crumbles. i wouldnt even suggest stones unless you were 99% confident in how leveled and founded the stones were. OP surely you can google a rig for your pot, and bonus point if you can fit the whole rig into the pot itself

I was pretty hype for it but having seen it I honestly don't know if I liked it.
I understand not having the screen time for the southward journey, you have to make some concessions converting to a screenplay, but Iñárritu could have played out much more of the survival drama if he hadn't blown all his screen time on artsy shots of rivers and trees and dream sequences. In the screenplay they went with, Glass gets mauled by a bear and is more or less ambulatory within what feels like a few days, there's no sense of time or hardship with no doubt and it's kind of boring.
It's just fails so completely on the assumption the audience will immediately lose interest if you ever draw a scene or concept out long enough to say anything meaningful.
>so many elements of the book carelessly mashed to one another
>indians needing a hamfisted justification to kill white men
>that super awkward snowflake eating scene
>that no suspense in the horse chase / cliff scene because you already know what's going to happen, also it was literally the length you see in the trailer
>that stupid tauntaun smells worse on the inside scene
>that hollywood brawl and ending
>based "in part" on the novel by michael punke
I wish I could just enjoy it for the numerous beautiful shots and scenery but I just found it baffling that you could have so many things directors would give their nuts for and end up with this. It wasn't terrible, just sort of bland and nonsensical. Am I wrong?

>>661685
i agree with pretty much everything u said. it was beautifully realised but i wanted more of the survival part of the story - it left me feeling underwhelmed. i even watched it a second time to check i wasnt being overly critical.
i guess the book just doesnt translate well into a movie.

Punke did his survivalist research, that's for sure. Every single step of every single thing Glass did to make fires and traps, etc. etc. on his long trek back to civilization after getting mauled by a bear is in excruciating detail in the blandest prose possible.

If any book could benefit from visual shortcuts and a condensing of action & time, it's this one. Should have just stuck with the movie.

Total snorefest.
