Quality isn't what it used to be but it's still better than walmart stuff.
Armpit zips are good, no dangers

>>637223
My dad got me some as a present. They work good, but there are much better if you look for them. They're to clothes what glock is to guns: not cheap trash, not the best you can get either, but overall reliable and common.

>>637223
Pretty good stuff for the price.

I find if i follow these steps i am okay

Hang your food properly
Urinate and poop properly
Keep weapons nearby
Make sure to have decent preception score
Have proper watch set up with group travelling
Pray to RNGuses that you dont roll like shit and that your DM isn't out to get you

Fire

>>635754
So low possibility of detection, and if that fails you gotta use a weapon.

How likely is this to work against a bear though ?

>>635756
A fire? Wouldnt this attract attention like mad. Espeacially at night huh ?
Ive actually read a bunch of websites. Fire wont do shite.

Nothing too exciting, but the Old Squaw ducks are back in Toronto Harbour for the winter. I love the calls they make.

Pigeons were going nuts outside my window just now like there was a hawk around, but I don't see the hawk.

Here's a fuckin turkey that keeps appearing and reappearing around Harvard Yard, right in the middle of the city. Over the years it's been caught and removed but it (or one like it) keeps ocming back. Anyway I've been seeing it around a few times the last couple weeks. Vid is from 2014 but related.

I havent been birding in ages. Once you start mushroom hunting the birding falls to the wayside, you cant watch the canopy and the floor simultaneously

Mrs. Anon however, has almost 200 birds on her life list now I think

but that's inhumane anon

Hunting is literally the only form of entertainment in this godforsaken state.

PA game warden here. We have regulations to keep imbeciles away from weapons and such that if

>I am not sure where to start with getting my license

Then you probably have no business hunting or owning a weapon

>>640230
the tube is just to slip the rope on, slip on line, pull knot off, tighten knot

theyre garbage anyway, i just tie a mooring hitch in my line to hold floaters/ strike indicators on

The rigs that come with the bobbers are usually useless, but the bobbers themselves are top tier

Thanks

My dad is really into it

I do it once in a while, it's great exercise and a lot of fun.

Yeah I love it, Minnesota has a good skiing community so there are a lot of places that groom trails and rent skis. I rented for a year and then bought my own cheap pair of fischers, I will be training for a race up in Mora mn now that we finally got some snow.

I want to try skiing and camping but I really only have summer camping gear. I imagine you can cover much more ground than hiking.

>Find someone to take with you?
>Get used to it by sleeping close to your home ie: 100ft away?
>invite me?

Only way to get over the fear is to go do it. What part scares you?

Never had a bad experience solo.

Tell someone where you're going and when you'll expect to be back. Read up on stealth camping. Even when legitimately camping, I always use stealth and leave no trace principles if only to minimise my own impact, let alone attract unwanted attention from other humans.

gold has a poor electrical conductivitie so you can't use cheap detectors. you won't just get a signal. I am saving up money for a Imerator Xp with wireless headphones. seperate handheld pinpointer is also must have. Here in Europe the most interessting stuff is at max.30 cm deep. I have the habit of digging every signal since i have a secound hand whites and i am building up expierience in interpreting signals.

>gold has a poor electrical conductivitie
orly

i stated that fact so op doesn't think he can expect huge gold nuggets with a seben detector. The Detector in op's pic is a very good start for a rewarding hobby.

I've recently found this as well and it looks promising.

I just bring a lighter.

There is no "best way". And starting a fire with a fire steel is not difficult, depending on your tinder. Personally I carry matches, a lighter, and a fire steel because the weight and volume is not worth leaving behind. (and its not expensive to have all 3 either)

What's what?

How did it go the last two years?
Did you really give someone on 4chan your address?

Bumping for hope

Hey man
Winston-Salem area
totally down.
Where do we go from here ?

reminder bump

Honestly, my Columbia's from 2002 are still my best pair.

Look for fruit of the looms from the 80s. They are very well made.

I picked up 4 pairs of REI brand long underwear on clearance and they've held up quite well.
