So I've been getting into hiking recently and would like to get further into it, however I experience knee joint pain whilst desending (specifically right knee). Do any of you know how to help alleviate this? Hiking shoes? Excercises? Or is it something that just gets better with experience?

Go see a doctor or physical therapist. There's no way we could possibly know what's causing pain in your specific situation.

I used to have this issue a lot but it kinda went away on its own a few years back. I don't recall doing anything specific about it, so I just suggest toughing it out.

Other anons might have a better idea though, don't take my word for it. Cheers.

Just re-read your post. Recently - there's the culprit. Give it time and don't stop hiking, like I said tough it out and you'll adjust as time goes. Your joints just aren't used to the stress.

I see guys with pic related on top of their hunting rifles walking around shooting ranges like they're going to shoot the moon. It's not just ugly. It's unnecessary. A magnification factor of about 6.5 is all that is needed for shooting animals out to 150 yards. If your quarry is further than that, there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to get closer. Trying to shoot further than that will only make your sight picture shaky. The human eye can only use an exit pupil of about 5 mm--7 mm at the most. What that means is that a 6.5 power scope will not benefit from having an objective lens bigger than 33 mm or 42 mm at the very most.

The larger the scope diameter the more light is let into the aperture an the brighter the image you see through it. This allows you to easily see on darker overcast days and your performance isn't affected.

The difference from a 30mm to a 100mm scope is quite a bit in reference to light.
>>
>>647624
>The larger the scope diameter the more light is let into the aperture
You are correct.
>an the brighter the image you see through it
You are incorrect. When the exit pupil (objective size divided by magnification power) is larger than about 5 to 7 mm, you reach a point of diminishing marginal returns. The pupil in your eye simply cannot grow bigger than that.

Didn't see one of these so i decided to make one.

So right now im looking for some advise on turning a shed that i use to store my sled and tractor into a living space within which i can sleep eat and basically function normally. It really isnt fair to call it a shed as its more of a bunkhouse with the rest of it being made of doors and other misalliances things. the section i want to live in has power and a breaker box with edison fuses so im not going to be without electricity. i already have a radio and tv set up in there since i mainly use the area when im working on my stuff or smoking. there is also lighting that is wired up and additional lighting i have installed so the area is well lit. my main concern is aside from the dirt floor and no insulation is that the rear roof has rotted through, i have place long logs or spare beams to hold up what remains and have tarped over the huge hole that is there. i can get attic insulation to place on the roof and walls and i have a space heater i can use but i would like to opt for a wood stove for additional heating and comfort. any help and advise would be very appreciated as my current living situation i really bad
pic related: thats about the area im working with just another half wider you could say

How cold is it going to get in your area?
>>

first up diy >>>/diy/ has lots of home construction and related skill make sure to ask there too.


other than that.
make it waterproof so it won't leak even when a storm hits
climate appropriate insulation
cost effective heating
but we need more info for that
>>
>>646072
go buy some tin and make you a tin roof. Get some insulation and/or expanding foam and fill all the holes so that it is airtight with no drafts. buy 2x4 and plywood and build a subfloor with insulation underneath. Put insulation on the walls and cover it with drywall or plywood. Drywall is less of a fire hazard. If you have trees nearby get a wood burning stove. Otherwise, get an electric heater to run off of your electricity so you don't freeze to death.
There ya go in order of importance. If you don't want to die then I suggest you start right away.

My fiance wants a multitool for Christmas and I want some second opinions on what to buy. I've had a leatherman in the past (old models) and have heard good things about the new wave. Opinions?

>>642715
Wave is good if they won't miss having an awl. It's also a great MT to use if they're into rebuilding/customization since so many parts from other leatherman tools fit into the frame.

Another good option is the surge. It's heavier and larger, but it has a few different tools, better scissors and the knives are longer. It comes with a blade exchanger that uses t-shank saw blades; comes in handy if you need a metal saw.

Overall, for unmodified, I like the surge better, but it is 4oz a heavier. I never found it to be an issue with belt carry but it's a deal breaker for some. But after all the changes I've made to the wave, it's the only one I carry now.
>>
>>642739
Seconded. I have a surge and love it, a wave would do just as well but i do appreciate the extra heftyness and blade length of the surge

>>

Either suggest it while they've had a few drinks or find people that are actually interested in that kind of thing. I've gone exploring with friends but they're not as interested in it as I am. I usually go alone because of this.

Get your ass to the store and get a package of the dry Lipton onion soup mix.
Toss the contents of one package in a crock pot. You better have a fucking crock pot faggot.
Remove silver skin and fat from the roast with a sharp knife, Toss in roast with some carrots, an onion and some celery.
Add enough water or beef broth to just cover the meat
Cook for 6-8 hours on low. Flip the roast once to keep the top from getting dry. Every time you lift the lid you let the heat out and it will take longer to cook. So one fucking time is sufficient.
Strain the broth and put broth in a sauce pan and boil that shit.
Dissolve two table spoons of corn starch in equal amount of warm water and add to boiling broth. Do it slow and stur that shit with a whisk to prevent lumps. Nobody likes lumpy gravy faggot. Once it returns to a boil the gravy is done. You might want to add some salt and pepper. Don't be a faggot and get the stone ground pepper. Since you are asking for recipes on 4chan I don't expect you to have a pepper mill.
Dice 5 medium potatoes and boil that shit in salted water, add a pad of butter to prevent a boil over,
If a fork goes in the potato easily that shit is done. Drain potatoes and add a 1/4 cup of milk and 3 pads of butter and a pinch of salt. Mash that shit like the slut she is.
Plate the roast, potatoes and the carrots. Top with gravy. I feed the onions, celery, cooked silver skin trimmings to the dog.
Invite a woman over, feed that shit too her. Impress the hell out of her. You can thank me later for helping you to get laid.

Well I've decided to do it. The only problem is I have zero climbing experience. I'm 24 and in very good shape and my job will allow me to fit expeditions in every 3 months or so. Will /out/ give me some advice so I can get an idea of what to expect? I'm headed to Colorado soon to start tackling 14ers.

When i was young my dad went on an expedition to Aconcagua and had to turn back before reaching the summit at a place where they could have done it within the day. That decision probably ended up saving one of his teammate's lives. If you try to go for it be careful and smart, its not hat important to reach the summit.

Does anyone have pros or cons against Teton Sports packs? I ended up buying an Explorer 4000, pic related. I just don't have the cash to get the Gregory I liked a lot. So i got on of these. I hear a lot about other brands, but not much about Teton. This will be a major upgrade to babbys first backpack in my next post.

This is the piece of crap we bought last year. It was good to start and do some hikes with, and did a short bit of the AT in the GSMNP in October using them. But now that I have more gear, and that Coleman ripped on me, it was time to upgrade. Maybe in a year or two I will spend a few hundred if I keep with backpacking. That Coleman was 45L compared to the 60L on the Teton. The hip strap is garbage, no padding at all. Maybe its good for a day pack, but was horrible for 4 days in the GSM.
>>
I'm excited to have a rain fly for the bag. A couple of outside pouches with water resistant zippers, actual hip belt with padding, actual foam padding on the back. Some say that the bottom pouch on the Explorer is small for some sleeping bags, but I know a lot of people dont stuff right, and i will be purchasing a bag that isn't a synthetic blend that is rated for 20F all year round. That's what we did all last year. So im not worried about that aspect.
>>
I have a teton and I dont really like it. I've also heard stories of people with this bag and it fails on them. A good brand to look at is Kelty. They are quality bags that are more affordable than Gregory.

A friend and I are thinking of getting into hunting (probably deer). He's pretty poor and I'm not too much better so I figure bows would be a smart choice. They're cheaper and seem like they'd be more fun and rewarding. So I've got a couple questions.

1. Does this seem like a terrible idea? I heard bows are bad for deer because the deer can run 1 or more miles after getting hit. Would that issue be significantly diminished if my friend and I both hit the same deer at the same time?

2. Any bow recommendations?

If you want a quality bow you're likely paying as much as you could get a decent rifle for. Look into rifle brands like savage, they make good stuff for not too much money. I don't know too much about bows, however, so no recommendations.

I think getting a shotgun would be a cheaper way to start hunting.
