Buy a bottle of liquid fuel and pour it in... Honestly I suggest you read the manual and probably watch a few videos of your new stove being used just in case you do something silly.

>>668287
pretty sure those stoves can run on almost *anything, it just has to be pressurized

> where do I fill it?
There should be a cap on the top that comes off and has a hole to the inside. Fill thru hole.

I can see it happening.

Is there a reason it has to be wool?

Even a cheap synthetic sleeping bag is as good as or better than a woolen blanket in every way.
>warmth to weight
>warmth to volume
>ease of care
>durability
>drying time
>warmth while wet
>cost
>availability

I don't mean to be "that guy"... but sleeping bags are pretty much universally used over woolen blankets by hikers, hunters, backpackers, and even militaries for a reason.

>>666551
It's for the inside of the sleeping bag. It's getting Colder and I need to add a layer.

>>666538
European style rothco is 90% wool and $35 on Amazon. I use mine all the time inside and out.

If you're wanting something better then look into Golden Dawn blankets on ebay. They are copies of Hudson bay blankets.

Also keep in mind a wool blanket will not keep you as warm as a good sleeping bag and it will weigh more.

The pros is wool is great in wet conditions and you'll get all the hott hippie bushcraft babes.

If the weather isn't terrible and you have a fire, it's amazing. Also, I like to add it on top of my sleeping bag when it's really cold as a layer of protection from sparks from the fire.

I doubt you will meet banditos. As for everything else, make a plan, tell someone when you're supposed to be back and share that plan with them. If you don't make it time, have the person contact emergency services.

Really that's the big one. So many people could possibly be saved if they just let someone know where they were going.

I have traveles couple of times in the desert. I know it, I know what its like, how much water I gonna need. I'll print the exact route I'll be traveling but yet I find it a bit scary to be alone in this endless nothing. I guess I will start with 1 day hikes then move to sleeping out too.

Trees falling silently.

Human trafficing. Young girls, really young...

OP here, also any urbex bros in dublin can give advice?

I'm not from that area of Ireland but you may enjoy the area around glenmalure and the Wicklow mountains in general. To my knowledge the rest of that entire area is just boring flat farmland. You could also have a look at the Cooley mountains further up the coast about an hour from Dublin, and the Ring of Gullion just across the border in Co Armagh (about ~1.5 hrs from Dublin).

This is for camping because I don't know anything about photography.

Wicklow Mountains are the only decent range of mountains in Ireland.

In general everything in Ireland has an owner, so the Natural Parks might have a length of 10 km max from one side to the other. Don't expect 100 of kilometers in each direction like in the US....

Same exact problem, man, except I've moved across the river to Canada lately. Are you looking for novel flavor, or just a wildly exotic plant? If you just want something to look at, the Japanese fiber banana works in certain parts of Michigan. Actually, according to the USDA PLANTS database, figs grow wild in Macomb County, so that might be something to look at, too.

What part of Michigan are you in? Microclimates from cities and lakes can make a big difference for what you can grow outdoors, and you might be surprised at what you can do. I know someone in Fort Wayne (where winters are sometimes harder than Detroit) who grew kiwi fruit.

>>660557>>660332

I'm in NY Zone 7, Kiwiberries grow incredibly well, but they take like 4 years to get any fruit from. as long as you keep them trellised, trimmed and watered, you get an incredible amount of fruit, they are tough, last year was the coldest winter we've had in a long while, hitting zero or below zero a few times, it didn't seem to bother the plant in the slightest.

>>660557
Flavor, mostly. I'm trying to eat healthy, and the best way to encourage myself to do so is having plenty of tasty, nutritious things around to eat. So, plants that can offer delicious fruits just lying around growing by a sunny window or a short walk to the backyard is a great way to keep me from driving to the local gas station for snacks. Also, they add flavor to the healthy dishes I cook up.

>>667488
Find one that doesn't bark or shit and you're good to go.

My out girl.

>>666356
Bring a book or a porn mag. both helps. Bring an mp3 with your favorites. A bit of Scotch is also a good idea.

>>666356
I have these thoughts too, but trust me when you're actually out there miles from anything, you kind of learn to get on with it. First night is always the worst though.

>>666356
Pack a .45 ACP and rest easy.

>>664694
> ignore the first faggot that says "Into the Wild"!

>>664698
Exactly what I mean when I say I'm realizing all I've seen/read is just meme bullshit, I want to learn about something useful and that I can use rather than stuff that I might need if I'm the only survior of a plane crash in the Andes

>>664701
I think you're better off crashing in the Andes with a soccer team on board.

But that may just be me.

Concur with everything here, except the alcohol stove thing which varies. During "extreme" fire danger they are outright banned. They're generally too fussy and dangerous in dry areas. Kick it over and spill flaming liquid all over your shoe, fun (a trail name is born).

In addition, ditch boots, get trail runners. Left is the #1 shoe on the PCT for the past five years or so. "Wild" Danner boots are too heavy and uncomfortable. Solar charger is gonna be in the mail after the first 100 miles, just get an Anker battery and charge in town. You'll probably need a puffy insulating layer for the Sierra.

>>667361
jetpack seems to be the easiest way

Went out for some early morning fishin'. They aren't biting for shit today tho. It has been cloudy and raining the past couple days, woulda been good fishing weather if I didn't work. Today it is calm and getting sunny.

>>667011
