If you can get something better (I.E. a modern handgun) - do it. If not, than bp can be good for scaring of animals, signaling and so on, although .31 cal is quite weak for most uses. .36 navy is generally considered the equivalent of 380 acp, which is the minimum recommended caliber for self defense. .31 will be weaker than that. Also BP revolvers are fairly unreliable - caps can jam up the action, not fire, misfire, chainfire... Generally if you live in a country where you can carry a better weapon - do it. If not - it looks mean, makes noise, can injure and potentially kill someone, and you can crack a skull with a good pistol whip.

how weak we talking here? Could I at least kill a person with it at 10-15 yards?

>>661249
It will kill him alright, but most likely in the hospital, after a day or two of bleeding out and giving false reports about how you attacked him. Adrenalin works wonders and it is possible that a person will still have time to hurt you, even after being shot. That happens with a lot of modern handguns even in good calibers. Also self defense against people will most likely happen in 1-3 yards. And typically it takes 2-3 shots to stop a person (if he does not get scared away by the sight of the weapon.) For that scenario you need not only a good caliber, but quick follow up shots. So single action only revolver with an unreliable mechanism is not very suitable.

Stuck between these 2 bags for both a male and female.
Condor is $180, no frame (can get one though for around $50/$80 with straps), 50L, loads of MOLLE for gear.
Deuter is $240, has an aluminium internal frame, 50L +10L extention, though only has 2 external loops for gear.

Which shuld I go with? I'm hoping to get 5+ years from the bag.

Poppies are real easy to grow. Scatter seeds early and they germinate quickly. I never bother to thin mine, Just let them go. When they flower it is great. You can collect the seeds or dump them on the ground for next year. They're kinda like pepper shakers I say. Also, you can collect the seeds for cooking.

Try growing tobacco. I'm gonna get some seeds soon and give it a try.

First and foremost I'd like to give you an early welcome to this beautiful state.

>Cool things I shouldn't miss
Oquirrh Mountains
Antelope Island
Provo Canyon
San Rafael Swell
Goblin Valley
Kennecott Copper Mine (not exactly /out/)
calf creek falls
Dog Lake

>Items to bring/things to remember
it gets cold at night all year
rural people will not hesitate to rob you
above is especially true if you're dark/metropolitan
not everyone is Mormon
watch out for snakes, bobcats and bears depending on location
police are strict out here, more so in rural environments
check the weather and don't die in a flash flood
national parks are good for sightseeing but find elsewhere to camp
natives are trash people, don't talk to them.

Have fun in this great state anon

>>656647

Thanks, this is exactly the info I was looking for, I appreciate it!

When you say that rural people will not hesitate to rob me, does that mean like at gunpoint and steal all my money or plunder my camp/break my car windows when I'm not around?

>>656755
That other guy is a Nigger and he projects his raping, robbing, thieving murder culture on whites. You will never meet nicer people in the world than Mormons or utahans

OP this is why I always keep a fresh roll of pasta in my pack. Always good to find pasta themed to suit the occasion - urbex pasta for urbex nights, halloween pasta for autumn, return-from-the-grave pasta when there's been a recent passing, winter pasta for winter camping, etc.

I have artifact hunted on some land in Florida, where they were known to be.

We dug a hole, a big hole. and then you stand in this hole and use a shovel to expose the side of the hole, and look for arrowhead or spear heads sticking out the side. we found several, taking turns in the hole, and drinking beer. you need to be careful, because your shovel will break the tip off the arrowheads pretty easy.

my brother in law found a beautiful spear head.

Probably the same reason humans still have a tail bone.
Protip for the uneducated here: evolution is a process, not a result.

So in the Future Pigs will be Tailless?

>>659588
They'll have some sort of vestigial tail, but in the case of domestic pigs, evolution is a controlled process, so much like dogs, they'll have whatever traits we breed for. Or Monsanto will step in and they'll just be a huge slab of bacon with a mouth.

Make sure to bring toilet paper.

And get your traveler's diarrhea and cholera vaccination. You should already have your hep shots.

Bump. Fellow shut-in anon who wants to get /out/ more.

Go for short walks at a local park as often as you can. Start planning longer hikes or day hikes and go from there. Camp sites or car camping could be a decent way to learn how to pitch camp, light a fire, etc. Looking up gear lists and that sort of thing helped me plan my first backpacking trip, but you certainly learn the most from your mistakes.

anybody ever grown milkweed before? I want to plant some native varieties in my backyard, starting from seed

I'm considering building a garden in my backyard, just a simple square design probably. It will be used for tomatoes, green onions, cucumbers, and other similar things. Maybe something for growing chili's too. Any suggestions are welcome.

I do ceremony, I don't talk to white people about it and I don't think western notions of "nature" and humanities place in it aligns with my understanding of it.

That being said I find other people feeling at one or connected to things valid and I'm not here to squash that.

>>643642
Could you clarify some more, though? I'm not that white, y'know.

>>643656
Prefer not to, anyway I will say there are many plastic shamans around and outsiders should be privy of those willing to sell you traditions so you can feel "one with nature"
