loratadine doesn't work well. Use cetirizine instead.

And here I am downloading 7.5" topos to the plotter for free when I could spend money on gearfag that runs on badderies!

So how's that ominous, potential emp working for you?

Does your mtn bike helmet have a gopro on top, too?

Biolite much yet?

>>654544
Why are you this mad?

Like I said, I know almost nothing about GPS units.

I just want something small and durable that I can use for brief hikes/shooting sessions in the woods so I can find my way back to my car. No multi-day outings or extreme hiking.

Sounds like one 7.5' topo would cover your ao. At least until you learn your way to and fri.

I do. I'd bring firearms for plinking, hunting, firearm testing (seeing how the gun preforms when dirt and crap gets into it) self defense is at the bottom of the list.

Usually I just bring my mossberg 590, bring couple hand fulls of bird, buck, rifled slugs. Nice being able to have dif loads, gives me more hunting options. Love fresh meat when camping.

If I am feeling the /k/ommando in me. Might bring my AR and chest rig.

If it is just hiking, I usually just have my glock 19 that is my conceal carry piece. In my area we have had hikers and campers mugged before. One guy got stabbed when he wouldn't give his shit.

There's really no reason not to bring bear spray, when you're hiking in bear country.

the reality is nothing will get you man
no one is out there waiting for you to go to sleep to fuck with you
that animal you heard outside your tent? it's just rummaging around doing normal animal shit, not out to get you
you just gotta get over it. i'm a hobo, when i started i was creeped out every once in a while, i'd just have to remind myself that I was the scary dude sleeping in the bushes that everyone else was afraid of.
also the best advice anyone can ever give you for living outside or just being chill at your camp, get a dog. nothing will ever surprise you again.

>>653638
It's scary no matter what. That's the point.

Really, by the time the night falls you should be so tuckered out, you don't give enough of a shit. You'll fall asleep in a boiler room with logs being unloaded next room if you're tired enough.

>>653638

Depending on where you live OP. If you got animals that could pose a danger, I.e. bears, cougars, moose, etc. Just practice not leaving food around, prepping your food a lil ways away from main camp, don't be a slob and leave trash around.

While you're up and about, don't be afraid to make some noises to alert animals that you're there. Most attacks is due to them getting startled.

Usually humans are not a problem, just like any thing else there is a what if situation. I've stumbled upon grow site twice in my life, on the 2nd one I had a grower shoot at me (called the cops asap, I let them knew what happen, as well as general location of the grow site.)

If you want, you can bring a fire arm for a piece of mind. Besides just having fun plinking, always nice have some sort of protection. Make sure that is your last line of defense, not just mag dump into any thing that scares you.

Now all the anti gun retards will say how guns are pointless. Those tend to be the no guns country ppl, ppl who are retarded, or ppl who live in a part of the world who has no predators.

I'm from Alaska, if you told any one here to go /out/ with out a gun, you'd prob be called a dumb ass. Even for fishing here...you're some times sharing part of the river with a bear. Though he doesn't care about you, he might come poking around for that fish. Moose are every where too, during mating season the males become ass holes, them charging / attacking ppl is not all that rare.

This is all advice, do what you want with it.

>>652812
Post no trespassing signs. That's a start.

>>652812
>While I can understand wanting to return to nature, can't you do it on marked trails and established campsites, or your own goddamn property?

Most of us do that. There are, however, always assholes that don't.

>>652812
You know how I know that never happened?

Answers you'll get on out include: Wool, merino wool, synthetics, down, fleece and space blankets (kek).

Wear layers, avoid cotton, invest in a couple sodium acetate or battery powered handwarmers.

Wtf kind of place doesn't have a cozy breakroom?

I'd quit that job and find a better one. Fuck that shit.

Get a hammock. Lots of threads here with good choices if you know how to read

It depends.

Can walk 25km in a day but I don't do it often. Usually more like 12-18 km because I goof around, rest an hour or two in the afternoon looking at the clouds etc. I frequently stop to work too (/p/ here) which takes a fair amount of time overall.

>>655384
Sometimes 14 miles other times to the mailbox.

any one that comes free with a case of beer, of course.

>>655172
But wouldn't you want the beer to stay cold as long as possible?

using a robin or just a bird is the best to start with.
i think theres quite some information about it with small birds, theres used to be taxidermy spot close to my home, but it was a temporary thing.

goodluck

Around here, there are a few little taxidermy shops and they seem to always have business. I think for a deer it's around 200 or 300 dollars. Maybe more. If I dabble into this stuff, I'll probably start with some kind of small bird but I'd like to be able to mount fish and deer eventually.

That coyote made me kek.

Where can I purchase a BuckBear?

>absolutely necessary that you work to make money for someone else, and collect a small percentage of that so that you can live

Do you even have a skill? If you are like most people you produce less at work than you get paid. You are a freeloader in life and you come here wanting us to do work for you, for free. You are a lowly parasite, your plan is unachievable because you can never scrape together $10,000 to get started on your failure. Your life is already over. Happy holidays faggot!

I work for a non-profit. We have a board of directors that are not paid. My boss makes about the same as I do. There's no one getting rich off me, and I help people for a living.

You don't have to work for a corporation that makes other people rich.

>>652515
I do have a skill. I can scrap together 10,000 dollars.
Absolutely necessary was a stretch.
>>652518
That's not really what I'm worried about; there are probably plenty of non profits and volunteering things I could do that would bring me fulfillment. I would like to try Americorp at some point in my life.

I just want to learn all that stuff and realize the dream at some point.

also general bugout bag advise would be appreciated

>>650627

You should ask /k/ they day dream about this shit all the time. /out/ version of bugging out, is more or less our normal /out/ gear, with just more food, water, some documents, some other crap.

There is no way to pursue your old hobby here.
You can pick some sage to make a sage stick bit not much more than that.

Even collecting dead firewood is frowned upon in many areas.
