Or if it's in your glove compartment when the police pull you over for speeding.

Merry Christmas! In Finland we get present today and I got underquilt for my hammoc. Pretty excited to go on my first winter hike after New year.

Britbong here, merry Christmas to all you glorious faggots. Hope you all have a great time.

The plan is to head to an outdoors midnight mass with the gf tonight, then off to my parents tomorrow morning.

>What do you use when you're only looking for about 20 m of rope
You use 35m
>tying harness from rope
If you hate comfort and want to tie it anew every time you want to use your rope, yeah sure.

>inexpensive rope and harness
Second hand, thrift stores, craiglist, ebay, season's end sales, etc
Although I wouldn't cheap out on rope and a harness if I were you.

And for your sake, I hope you know how to climb safely.

Sorry to crush your spirit, but this is literally "I'm going to kill myself by falling: the thread."

You should at a minimum go to your local rock gym and learn to belay. And yes, if you're going to be trusting a rope with your life, you should really get a harness. It's not the 3rd edition of Freedom any-more, harnesses have been widely accepted since the 80s.

Pic semi-related, it's what we don't do anymore.

are you going to be properly leading on it, or anchoring it from above and using it as an extra point of contact? that will affect whether you want dynamic (stretches up to 33%) or static (stretches <5%) rope. if you might fall more than 5-10 feet on it, go with dynamic to absorb the load, if the ropes going to be fixed and you won't fall more than a foot or two, get the one that stretches less so you aren't needlessly working extra.

either way, climbing gyms and shops and stores like rei sell climbing rope by the foot.

In pic related the first ones are the standard boots, the ones on the right are the ones used wintertime.

>>651762
Just use Lundhags, that's what the cool boys in K3 and I22/FO use

>>651765
Bit pricey though, looking like some try-hard spoiled cunt isn't exactly something I want to do.

op here

thanks

Just did an overnight on the Florida Trail. My ride fell through on me, so I doubled back from hidden pond to juniper instead of continuing though. Wish I had something to take pictures with.

South Alabama here. (20 mins away from border)

What places are good to go /out/ in Florida?

>>650302
I'd like to know too, I'm >>650297 and have only ever been on the Florida Trail.

Salami is non-perishable and cheaper than jerky

Most of us just eat hardtack, not because its cheap but because it tastes good and is authentic

The hike from summit takes about 7 hours round trip. Weather is looking only a bit chilly. 7 hour drive from Fort Worth.

>Guadalupe peak

Brace yourself for the wind--windiest place I've ever been.

Mother-in-law is in the hospital or I'd join you. I'm planning on doing it for my 50th birthday in 2018, but wouldn't mind going up early. Love that part of the country.

>don't skip McKittrick Canyon, it's beautiful

>>650772
Damn near, gf is being difficult.

Plus, have to work through the company shutdown and only get two four day weekends. Double time for the three days between, though, so...

May do. Have before.

No I wish

I spent last New Years out in the woods. It was magical

I was at a high point of elevation kind of like in OPs pic and when midnight hit fireworks went off everywhere in the city below me and i felt very alone.

i allways find homeless camps via towels put up to dry. so if ur trying to stay hidden dont do that

>>650407
K good advice actually, Thanks.

>>650398
make sure to look up the knife laws in your area and what excuses you can have for carrying weapons and shit as to avoid trouble with police just in case

I don't like watching this because it reminds me I'll never be as free and happy as them out trapping.

Pretty cool documentary. Looks like a tough but fulfilling life.

>You like living free with the government giving not a singe fuck about you?

Did you not watch it? The guy literally works for and is funded by the Russian federal government, dumb dumb.

No offence mate, but it's kind of grainy and a little boring. What did you hope to get out of this thread?

>>649787

Can you at least take the video. Put CG crap in it, like a monster roaring, screaming, gunshots, etc?

>>649798

We're getting closer...can we make it a nazi moose?

Just be yourself anon

Get one! I use mine to feed my family of four on three day backpacking adventures. The great thing is it doesn't use fossil fuels so thus is carbon neutral with no carbon footprint so it really pays for itself on the environment

Why should I convince you to do anything? Convince me.

>>652692
I love that area. I wouldn't be able to tell you any particular trails, but it doesn't really matter, that whole area is amazingly beautiful.

>>652695
Damn, that's just what I need.
