Is it worth getting a machete like this?
39 posts and 7 images submitted.
>>
>>637953
Yes. If you are the prop casting director in the next Rambo movie production.

If, No, then I would say don't buy anon. Your money could be spent on so much more, like a haircut, and stylish clothes that will help you get laid the next time you're visiting the milkbar.

Hey /out/ wanna rate my gear?
Ive taken it on a couple overnights, but I want input to what I could adjust to make my pack a bit better. A few things I am going to add from the experience I had on the over nights.
-even though I live in FL I still need some kind of insulation in my hammock. I'm thinking an under quilt or some type of blanket. I'd rather just bring my picnic blanket cause it's one side fleece and the other is waterproof.
-Yo-Yo mechanical fishers and speedhooks.
-Gaiters.
-Maybe a Firebox but I'm still on the fence on this one.
Not pictured:
Rothco Waterbottle Carrier
Stanley Headlamp 3xaaa

I'm not going to list this kit in any particular order:
- IFAK (R.A.T. Maxpedition Wallet)
- Tool Kit (Ferrorod-Lighter-Lighting-Whistle-Riteinrain-Watch-Boker Oilpen-Sharpie-Compass-DC4-Thermometer)
- Tarp in Drybag
- Maxpedition Rollypolly Extreme Backpack
- Gtg Fatboy (Once I break camp I like to go light when I'm hunting/fishing)
- Woolrich Safari hat
- GSI SS cup
- Merino gloves
- 3 emergency ration rice packs
- Blue Desert Hydration system for SS Guyot Nalgene
- Nalgene Guyot SS 38oz.
- Guyot SS 32 oz.
- Frogg Toggs Light Poncho wrapped in Bungicord
- Grand Trunk Ultralight Hammock
- Rope
- Two Point Sling
- Bahco Folding Saw
- Bk16 in leather pocket sheath
- Bk14 & Flashlight in leather pocket sheath

I plan on buying a Ruger GP100 in .357 and a Ruger 77/357 for woods use. This is in February. At the same time I'm going to buy a Vepr in 7.62x54r but this will be too heavy for anything more than 3 day trips.

I want to go somewhere much warmer than where I currently am (Denver CO), find a place where I can set up a isolated bum camp close to town and preferably next to a body or stream of clean water warm enough to bathe in. There must also not be hordes of asshole homeless men descended from Cro Magnon who will rape and rob me. It must also be a natural area with a dark sky for star gazing. Then I went to get a job in said town, save up money, and live there until it starts to get warm up north again.

I need recommendations, most importantly where to go, secondly on how to do this (I have a tent but would prefer to build some kind of structure, I plan on getting a bicycle, etc).

This is the homeless hitchhiker/bicycle rider who goes by tourthin if you remember.

My girlfriend just ate a knife tip full of Pine resin.

Is she going to die?

She should be OK.

Almost certainly not
>>
>>635373
Pine sugar actually used to be a common sweetener for native Americans, and the needles were frequently used as a source of vitamin C. Pine pulp is still used in food today as a filler/fibre source. Pine nuts are used in salads, and have a buttery/minty flavor. Pine pollen can be used as a flour substitute. Pine is completely edible.

Unless she's allergic, in which case yeah, she'll probably die.

Does /out/ like rock/mineral/gem hounding and going into old mines? Been out here in New Mexico since friday and I am absolutely loving it out here. Went to the Kelly Mine today and went down a bunch of tunnels, climbed some cable and shit into a very large room with some nice quartz(hard to get to) and a few bats.

I like rocks, but I don't like the idea of dying in a forgotten mine shaft.
>>
>>635107

I wouldn't reccomend going solo, and there's usually information out there on what's stable and what's not if you talk to locals and/or the gem/mineral society of the area.

I've always had the pleasure of having great guides, but I would imagine even a solo trip up to a horizontal shaft to get at something near some sunlight, ontop of getting a beautiful hike, would be well worth it.

Thought I'd share this with /out/.

Was at Kohls today (dept store in USA for those down under, across the pond, or south of the border). Found a packable down jacket, Heat Keep brand, for $50.

650 goose down fill, very light, and packs to about the size of a grapefruit or less.

It's not an amazing jacket as far as jackets go, but I've never seen a packable real goose down jacket for less than $150. Picked one up, will go in my pack, take up very little space or weight, and should work well.

Nice find.

I'm gonna do it /out/, I'm going to become Chris Mcandless 3.0 this winter. No, you can't talk me out of it. This is a decision I must take, and it is my own fate.

Give me advice on what to wear so I don't die of hypothermia. Temperatures will reach -7 F in the wilderness where I'll be.

A few days ago, I actually revisited the Clothcraft Clothing Factory, the first building I ever explored in Cleveland. I didn't get any pictures that visit, but I did shoot a decent YouTube video. Earlier this summer, I got to visit an entire abandoned neighborhood in Pittsburgh with about 20 abandoned houses.

Hey /out/, I am looking for a good backpack I can use for school and also for day hikes. Any recommendations?

Give those details and the board might help you better. Or tear you apart because it's not what they like. Depending on who's lurking both might happen.

>price range
anything
>style
something that doesn't look autistic carrying around school.
>length of trip
I said day hike enough room to carry school books and or food/gear for a day hike.

I can recommend http://www.amazon.co.uk/G4Free-Military-Tactical-Backpack-Rucksack/dp/B011IBE44M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1447708820&sr=8-1&keywords=g4free
Good space, big for a good EDC if thats what you like. Can carry food, sleeping system and shit like that for 1-2-3 days. Good space for books, pc you name it. If more space needed be there is molle. Also it's cheapish.
It does not have a hip belt (for more hiking style), and if molle is not your style this is not what you want.

Is there such a thing as a natural hot spring where the water is actually tea? Such as like a normal hot spring feeds off into a waterfall but in the fall dead leaves get stuck in the streams path causing the water at the bottom of the tiny waterfall to be tea?

I have tried googling it but got nothing.

It seems like something that would be possible, although absurd.

I've been in hot springs with tons of organic matter in them.
They were full of tannins and alkaloids.
I wouldn't call it tea though

They're mostly an invasive species around here, and the state encourages people to harvest them (as well as bullfrogs). This is easy-mode fishing; you can literally catch them by hand with a bit of practice. Anyone else a crawdad fan?

dude I watched an awesome video of a guy catching crawfish with a "trash" fish he caught.

he speared a fish close to the river bank, cut it up and put it in shallow water, and picked up the crawfish as they moved towards the hunk of flesh.
>>
>>639644
If the crawfish population is dense (true of a lot of smaller streams), you don't even need to bait them; you can just pick one, get behind it, drop a rock in front of it, then use your hands to catch it as it reflexively scoots backward. Then you just toss it in a bucket with a bit of water in it. Repeat again and again as much as you want.

Washington's regs are a smidge heavier, it seems.

I used to catch them for giggles when I was a kid, in AZ. Never really thought about them since, and now that my interest is piqued the season is over. Curses.

Is a Wilderness first Responder course worth the money?
I can afford this course, but not EMT courses.
It seems like a camping trip with some medical instruction?
I would like anyones input before i spend hard earned cash.

It's worth the money if you plan on getting a job where you'll get paid more to have WFR training. If not, then it probably isn't worth the money.

If you are strapped for cash you should just buy a book on first aid and learn that way.
