Did someone say worth the weight?

>>626228
Won't really be good for anything but splitting small, dry logs into kindling.

Expecting my gransfors bruks small forest axe to come in today. Will post follow up

>paying more than an average car for a snow motorcycle
>buying a specialty vehicle only usable for four months of a year for 26k

>>625956
yeah it's a bit expensive but people seem to really like them. hope it's worth it but i've never been on one so we'll see what happens once the snow flies.

I may be a poorfag but I think beater snowmobiles are GOAT

Birch bark

>>625544
>very wet conditions.
Find dry kindling. Cedars, spruce, and young pines all have sources of dry kindling. Worst case scenario cedar has waterproof bark. If the cedars are soaked through then start looking for deadfall. This is dead branches that are still in the air, either attached to the tree or otherwise suspended and not in direct contact with the ground.

>>625553
Deadfall the size of your thumb or slightly larger should be dry on the inside and easy to access without a gigantic knife/axe/hatchet. Same for the cedar if it's available. Also any kind of wax covered fire starter (cardboard egg crate filled with sawdust soaked in parafin, etc) would be helpful here.

most running water is fine to drink without purification. rainwater is also okay, but usually not as tasty. avoid still or murky water, or anything with dead stuff in it.

Jesus Christ just get yourself a lifestraw or a Sawyer filter. $20 or less

Any water that isn't directly from a spring is suspect. Even fast flowing water could have a dead animal rotting in it just a few hundred meters upstream. Straw water filters are cheap and weigh practically nothing. Lifestraws are the most common but are a bit bulky if you're an ultra-lightweight camper. There are smaller models from other companies that fit in your pocket. I'd carry 2 just in case one breaks. If you use a metal container to carry your water in you can just boil it.

This is more of a /k/ thing... but don't let me stop you.

How do you lock your house anon?

Oh how I long to knock over all his creations while he watches.
When he walks up to me to complain , I will throw him to the ground.

eh, the intentional delicacy of those cairns makes them inherently transient. i know the edgelords will be hear soon to scream about smashing them, but these particular cairns don't bug me at all.

pic of an anon's cairn that also didn't bug me. i find it's archaic aesthetic appealling.

/out/ would shit themselves to death if they ever ran across Andy Goldworthy

>shitty mora
Stopped reading there. Moras ain't shit.

>>623912
By shitty Mora, i just meant the cheapest Mora i could find. I like the knife a lot. Didn't mean to offend.

>>623914
No worries, I don't like people unreasonably shitting on it. Yes soak the stone for a bit.

This guy is a pretty good youtuber.
Puts good effort into video production, informative as fuck, some people can't get past his accent but I don't mind it. Also has a sweet /out/ job.

watch his shit, guarantee you will learn something.

Wranglerstar and BushcraftBarton!!! Best guys ever!!!

>>623629
MCQ is good and i watch lots of his stuff, but i wish he would be a bit more succinct.

the thing that sets Alfie apart, for me, is that he doesn't continue to fucking waffle after he's made he's point. it's so rare in the survival/bushcraft video community. maybe the rest of them just love the sound of their own voices or something.

I shoot a matthews mq1, beautiful bow. Don't really care that it's on the older end, just needed a new peep and someday I'll put a whisker biscuit on it. It's out in my wife's car or I'd take a pic.

She shoots a PSE something or other, got it for her for my birthday. She loves archery a lot more than going to the range which is understandable.

We both really want recurves but funds are limited, so we stick with what we have. I've heard the Sammick sage is a great way to start but if you're experienced you've got more info than I do.

>>622991
thanks anon -- I know it's odd for someone with experience like me to ask for recommendations but I don't really have a means to hands-on test a bow up here (upper peninsula MI university, no wheels to drive anywhere)

>>623001
I understand, I'm a troll relocated to another great white state, just on the border of canada, so im not close to too much civilization either. If I had more knowledge I'd love to give suggestions.

What type of use will it get?

>>620378
Just walking to places. I don't do any adventurous stuff,

>>620381
Then get whatever, /fa/ will probably give you better advice. Goretex and similar breathable fabrics are good, but the only reason to pay for them is if you will be exercising in them.

I'd recommend something similar to the Marmot Precip which is just light fabric with a polyurethane coating on the inside. Absolutely waterproof and fairly cheap.

>>619815

Rub yourself in bacon fat and limp like you have a broken foot. They'll come right to you.

i have a Companion for food/slicing and a Robust for hard work

>>615400
I'm tempted to get it, if only to be part of the meme.

I know nothing about Moras, though.

I bought a mora. On sale at local shop for 11$. Though why the hell not. The only thing they can do well is process food and feather stick smaller stuff. They are hyped by hipsters and trail fags

I also hate how mora fags claim weight then next sentence tell you should have a axe and laplander. A single big knife tho? Na to much weight.

>>608787
All of that gear looks really shiny and new, have you ever used any of it?

25% or so sees regular use. The whole kit occasionally gets carried around with this air rifle for exercise purposes when bird hunting.

>>608787
Are those occy straps/bungee cords? Something like a petzl elite might be a good addition. What is that little pair of things above the orange spool?
