I enjoy taking showers spanning multiple hours, and have noticed that I never get thirsty when in there. Clearly, sufficient amounts of water must be absorbed through the skin.
Is this principle applicable when going /out/?
Consider having an insulated water tank (a thermos, like one you keep coffee in) attached to each of your boots. The water would be body temperature so would not make you freeze, and it would also ensure you get hydrated enough when you're on long hikes. Drinking from a bottle would literally become unnecessary.
To make a simple implementation you could use one of those sport flasks with straws. Cut a hole in the boot, make the straw poke at the sole, and then fill the bottle. If the opening of the flask is fixed at the same height as the surface level, laws of physics will keep the water from overfilling

Good god you're retarded. Thirst mostly comes from a dry mouth. If the humidity is 100+% you're not going to get a dry mouth until severely dehydrated.

Skin breakdown on long hikes would be a thing.

No, it's cheap and probably sucks a little.
But it's also cheap, so who cares? Just enjoy it till it rips apart and buy something else.

If you're in the US, go to a National Forest and camp outside established grounds. It's called dispersed camping and it's free. As long as there isn't drought conditions and/or you aren't above a certain altitude you can also have a fire.

/out/ I need your help on finding the right flashlight.
There are tons and tons of flashlights out there but I don't know shit about anything that could help me pick one.
Do some of you experienced outdoor guys have any idea what's a 'good' flashlight?
It should be somewhat rugged
rather light
long lifetime (probably the only thing that really matters for me, i don't want no 2 hours battery lifetime)
medium sized
maybe different options like max lumen, low lumen and eco
im a cheap dude so I'd rather not pay over 100 bucks for a flashlight

I was think about starting a thread like this, but wasn't sure if it belonged on /out/ and didn't want to go full /k/ommando.
I have a handful of pellet guns, my one pistol is a cheap Daisy BB pistol that's around 400fps. If you really want to hunt with it, you gotta get a rifle that shoots pellets, at least 700fps.

The Bundy brothers have no intention of stewarding the land on Oregon or returning it to the original families. They intend to auction off the land in parcels and use the money to support Ammon's failing transportation company in Arizona.

You sound really unprepared
Got any money? Get a toque, some thick socks(2 pairs, one over your hands), and a cheap sleeping pad.
If your broke, just hangout in gas stations and the like and walk to a different one when you can handle it.
Try to be homeless somewhere else next time

All I know is that you need to stretch it real good, cook the animal's brain, I think with some water, then turn it into a juicy thing and "paint" the inner side of the skin
But im no expert
Try youtube
>>
>>662189
urine not water
>>
>>661912
Two main points:
1) Remove all the bits on the skin.
2) Coat with tannins (brains or acorn water)
I've heard of urine being used to soften the leather, but I don't know anything about the process. I've also heard of smoke tanning, but from what I've seen, it makes for a harder leather.
Please update if you find anything.
I was looking for a general boot advice thread by there was none so I am opening this.
I got a voucher for a 100€ plus now shops are on sale, and my local outdoor shop has the models on picture with the following prices:
Scarpa Ranger 129€
Merell Crestbound 129€
Columbia Excurion Mid LTR 130€
Anatom Q3 Braeriach 200€
If you have in mind that I have a 100€ voucher I might be paying between 29€ and 100€ for a pair of boots.
Now, I live in Ireland so I need something waterproof and I am looking for something with leather(bad experience with cheap fabric boots) and of quality that will last me years if properly taken care of.
From a starting point of view the Anatom look well constructed, but never heard of them. The others are famous brands, but look like if they put more shit on the boot than needed, as in extra patches of leather, extra stiching which will probably be the point were it breaks.
Any advice or experience with the listed boots

i have a pair of the Scarpa go up.
they are brilliant and Scarpa is a solid brand, so personally if pick the Scarpa but thats just because ive never ownedor held any of the other brands
>>
>>661279
Are those Scarpa whaterproof?
Thing with the ones on offer is that they are not waterproof, but as far as I understand you can make them waterproof with treatments over the leather.

Hey /out/ this is a thread to outline your favorite Fish to catch, your favorite bait to catch them with and your favorite go-to techniques. I'm a big fan of dragging a baby brush hog through ruffage and shelter to make the largemouth's instinct strike. wbu?

Spotted Gar fishing in a nutshell
> Live in South Florida
> Fish during Springtime
> Catch small lizards for bait
> Cut them in half
> Walk around lake looking for a gar
> Find one and cast in front of Gar
> Gar is almost guaranteed to bite
> Wait for Gar to swallow bait
> Net Gar when up close or it will get off hook
> Catch
> Take Picture
> Use pliers to unhook fish
> Release
Catching the Spotted Gar is fun as fuck I have no idea why people consider them trash fish. They are big and put up a good fight.

I love fishing for catfish. I use chicken livers. I'll add several shot weights and make an easy cast out, keep the bail open, and wait. All that's left is setting the hook once line starts to spool off.

Caught this bad boy Tuesday. Biggest fish of the day. 26 inches. Caught it on a plastic. Don't ever use bait

This is a quarantine thread for folks to post their simple or otherwise stupid questions to help clean up the board
Like a lot of other /in/fags I too have recently been struck with the desire to go /out/. By chance my Uncle invited me to go on a 5 day backpacking trip this summer at Pictured Rocks in Michigan. The temperatures of that area at that time of year ranges about 50-75F and supposedly it's a pretty moist/humid/rainy area; I hear cotton isn't too functional when water is applied but unfortunately just about every clothing item I own is cotton. Will I be fine with what the clothes I've got (will have a synthetic sleeping bag) or should I shell out for some decent gear?

Gear won't make you better. How do you think you'll fare with the physical part?
I'd get with an experienced backpacker, and pick their brain about a good lightweight setup.
I'm sure you'd rather be wet with energy than sweaty (still wet) and fatigued.
A rain proof shell should be part of any hike of any length.
Hope you have fun. I wish I had people in my life more motivated than me to get /out/

What kind of temperatures are you expecting?

Also, stupid question:
Are there any backpacks that hold two hydration bladders? I have a camelbak bag, but its only made to hold a single bladder.
