Are you that guy who's still trying to make a MGTOW commune in "colorado/new mexico?" You might want to get a bit farther along with that before making patches.

>>601769
Not the same guy but much more culture needs to be build before an actual 3D community can come together. I my estimation even real planning stages for such an endeavor is at least a year away.

I think the patch should be his head, iconic beanie and all.

you'd be surprised how little you actually need bro.
Heres some bare essentials
-Water container (SS or Ti)
-Water filter
-lighter( or firesteel if you wanna seem edgy)
-hatchet or small forest axe( brand is up 2u)
you have MREs
-tarp (getting cold outside so duct tape a emergency blanket on it)
hammock or tent? up2u
-100ft or cordage
basicly it....beside your firearm w/ 2 extra spare mags and maybe a 50rd box.

>>602410
100ft or cordage? what do you mean by that? and why.

yeah i got four 15 round magazines of some hot 10 mm loads. I dont even have bears in my area, and im well equip for even that.

I have no filter at the moment, but i have a few excellent contains for the occasion. Also something for boiling water/cooking in.

No hatchet at the moment, but for a one day one night excursion i think i wont need it right?

10mm. safety: always off.

Wait, let me put an add blocker on before I check out your viral marketing

What a scrub. He doesn't even Mora.

>>595238
Fucking based. I would have added a window though.

I wish I could find a good source of clay in my area to do that.

Possible: Yes
Good idea: No

>>606697
It's only for a month or two until I save up rent money

>>606697
What about a large canvas tent like the surplus army ones pitched on a wooden deck/base with a wood burning stove?

>>605224
A bad one. Go for commercial bags.

> buy medium ALICE pack w/frame

I do not understand your confusion?

>>605230
I was wondering the specific bag in the picture.

>>605228
Is it bad? Ok so would you think this is good:

You made a great choice helle are high quality knives

>>580377

Helle are good, that knife will last forever as long as you don't do anything silly with it. Keep it safe or use it hard, either way it's a good choice.

this is a huge feel for me. There no place to go to that's a true "adventure"

Bump for interest. I have a similar idea for an abandoned factory near me.

Are those barrels north of the red circle stacked in a precarious way, such as to create a deployable blockade?

>>601078
>Unused for barely a year

I'd wait a little longer, friend.

>>604051
No because it's far from me and all the good shit is gone by 6 am...

I'm not a member. What do you have to d to become one?
How much could I get a sleeping bag and other gear for?
Any tips?

>>604093
to become a member you pay 20 bucks. it pays for itself very quickly. a few years ago i bought a bike there that pretty much only they were offering. one of my favorite bikes and they gave me back like 100 dolarydoos because i was a memeber. also, i just bought a new rain jacket there last week and i got a 20 dollar gift card because i was a member. didn't even think about the garage sale, it was rei brand i bet it would be 40% off tomorrow.

all in all, it is a box store. but it is one of the best box stores that exists.

You can get an inflatable kayak for cheaper, if that floats your boat.

buy it if you are interested in kayaking. 100 bones is pretty good for a yak, and really if it floats it will do just fine. dont forget that you'll more than likely have to drop around 50 on a paddle though

and for another 100 you can add a few rod holders and maybe an anchor trolley, and itlt look and feel like a $500 one (if fishing is your gig), which is what i did with one i got from costco

i have a 10 footer that tracks just fine, but that also has alot to do with your paddling technique which will get better as you go. yours seems to have a similar hull which makes the big difference other than length, and like you said alot is gained through portability with a shorter one

for 100 you really cant go wrong though

>>597488
I do, but I kayak off the coast - bay and ocean. Generally speaking, longer yaks are for seas and shorter ones are for lakes and rivers.

$100 is great for any yak, but I'd be skeptical of the quality. Still, it should be a great learner platform. Make sure you get proper-sized paddles and a PFD.

>>597695
All kinds , dirty hippies, cut throat organ harvestors, crooked rangers, trail trolls, devil worshippers, etc.

and the bums

Mostly human.

Some skinwalkers.

Maybe a few Aliens, odd bigfoot or two.

But, mostly humans. You know the type, right?

>>606615
No, Sven saw. Break your tinder, chump.

>>606615
>mfw I just got the 6 sven saws (vintage, still in package, american made) I picked up at a thrift shop in Missouri this summer for next to nothing each, in the mail
>looking at a pile of sven saws

wut do?

>>606653
Ebay that shit or sell it to me.

>>605895
Not from the UK, but I keep hearing about Dartmoor.

>>605994

There have been 2 UK /out/ meetups in Dartmoor and it is a pretty great place. It's HUGE, it's legal to wildcamp there (this isn't much of a problem though really) and it's beautiful.

My favourites would be Dartmoor, S. Wales Valleys and The Gower.

Scotland

I have a few questions about scopes and photography if you or any other anons wouldn't mind answering them.

First of all, is a telescope (either reflector or refractor) truly required or would a decent sized (80mm) spotting scope work? Also do you do any astrophotography? If so, what equipment do you use?

I have an 8" dob I used to use a lot. I still use it fro time to time, but with the combination of increasing light pollution and Accutane damaging my night vision, I don't take it out much. I've seen the Orion Nebula, Andromeda Galaxy, and Whirlpool Galaxy and a couple star clusters. I wish I could get out to dark sky sites with my mortarscope, I'd love to see more galaxy definition than a faint smudge. Regardless, it's still fun.

I really like the ring nebula, m57.

Funnily enough I found the exact same thermos in a thrift shop/Salvos, fuck these things are GOAT, mine's been accidentally ran over and only got a scratch from it. The amount of brand new/rarely used shit people donate to these stores are ridiculous.

I never buy anything at a thrift shop that I eat off/out of. I realize this is just my personal hangup really, but I assume everything in a thrift shop has been pooped-in and cummed-on at least fourteen times.

>>609005
a few months ago I got a thermarest prolite for $7. As far as I could tell, it was brand new.
The only problem with the thermos was it was dirty as shit inside. Some hot water and dish soap shaken around in it and it was good to go.

I also found merrel moab mids in my size that were also almost new for $10.
