I don't really have an interest in things that are that dangerous.

*tips mora*

I don't know about wool, but those lightweight poncho/shelter things are pretty neat.

Just get a goretex hardshell you autist

If you're selling them at cost and it's like $10 for a patch+shipping, I'm happy with the PayPal option. If I get burned for $10, no big deal.

At that point I was forced to make a decision, I didn't want to leave the poor thing there and it occurred to me that the dog might attack me if I tried smashing the surrounding building to free it.

I've been looking up small solar panels online lately and it seems the Anker 14W Dual-Port Solar Charger is a good choice. It's $60 though. I haven't bought it yet so can't provide any personal experience, but reviews look pretty good. Any panel as small as the one in your pic is barely going to be able to charge anything.

Here's a question for this thread.

I'm looking into getting a Fenix UC35 mainly because it has a micro USB charging port for an 18650 battery (which I have many as I vape). Just from my short reading around, it needs around 3.4v in order to charge. Are there any portable solar panels that put out around the 3.4v range anyone knows of? Or am I doing my math bass ackwards?

> its fun, but its dangerous
just like almost everything :D

i think it just depends how much risk you are willing to take. and how real that risk is. i think its quite safe but you should look up your national statics, but if you do it right and aren't a drunk farmer in a plane used twice a year for spraying pesticide. it should be fine like comrecial flight.
for example in my country many small planes have car engines (since they are developed on a far far higher budget) and they are really fucking relaible.

>>456914

>webm

Holy shit. What's the story behind this?

>>456921
looks like two small single engine planes crashing mid air, at least one of them carrying multiple skydivers

mid air crashes among small planes are lot more common than you might think

Lockpicks, smoke bombs, batarangs...

I currently have:
A magnesium block/ferrorod
A small, sharp folding knife
2 waterproof pillbottles stuffed with dryer lent (awesome tinder, pic related)
A thermal blanket
Fishing line, weights, hooks, power bait and some small lures.
Basic medication/bandages.

Where would you go from here?

>>461922
nylon tarp, water purification methods, mylar blanket, ligther, and as many ziplock bags i can fit in (crazy useful)

Anyone not familiar with /out/ would consider that patch to represent homosexuality.

My vote would be a patch with bear at the picnic table.

I like the idea but I get the feeling that /out/ has too many people who look down on anything tacticool or milsurp to get momentum for this.

>>461710
agreed

There was an article in backpacker about this once.

Some guy in either WA or OR would let you rent his goats for trailcamping. The author and a friend did it, and they said it was hell because goats are stubborn as fuck. One would only move if you sprayed him with a spraybottle full of water, even though the guy who owned the goats specifically said it was only to be used for punishment, not motivation. The author used it for motivation anyways. I always thought that was really shitty of him.

Here's the article:

Doesn't look stupid, you just have poor taste. Its placement isn't the best, forearm would be much better for trees or lengthy things.

>Did you guys order anything?

I'm actually gearing up to order things this week. I'm one week behind. I'll be getting colorful heirlooms and things like purple potatoes/sweet potatoes. Definitely many types of heirloom tomatoes this year from seed. My problem is that I have tons of seeds saved. I just need to sit down and take stock and plan things out.
