Absolutely not. Mine leaked after a couple of months, and are seriously falling apart after eight months. The sole is peeling off in four places, and the leather has a serious split.

I've also been boot shopping lately.
Lems have spoiled me and I can't find any boots with a decent toe box. Is there anything similar out there suited for walking with a somewhat heavy pack?

Because you went to the Catskills, not the Adirondacks.
Next time bring your ghillie suit, sneak into their campsite, and crawl into some Stacy's tent.

they cannot hurt you, only annoy the fuck out of you.
aside from ticks
but srsly, if you are not trying to chill welcome a spider crawling up your asshole because it doesn't fucking matter.
if you are relaxing than you need to chill else theyll start getting to you. Make a plan and make sure they fuck off
the other day I found a spider in my hair so I killed it
x6000000000
doesn't fucking matter cause you just jump in water and they go away. Stop being a lil bitch.
best case the hair spiders eat the other hair bugs.
plus bees are a non issue how do you ever give a fuck unless you stirred a nest
>>
>>1056361
wasps/hornets who actually exist to fuck you up, weird asss fuckin slimey shit that just lies on the ground and exists to die. even if I don't care about the bugs when I go out, I will eventually encounter one and my fear will be reawakened.

just a side note hornets (at least in many regions) are real bros.
for example the european hornet (also the dominant hornet in america) :
> they are way less aggressive the wasps, generally avoids conflict peaceful even around the nest
> they only sting as much poison as a bee, but its hurt bit more because of their bigger anatomy
> prefer to only sting to kill prey and defend hives
> they hunt pests like bugs, worms, WASPS, bees, grasshoppers, moths, locusts and katydids
> They are carnivorous but they can feed themselves with nectar and sugar-rich plant foods. Thus, they can often be found feeding on the sap of oak trees, rotting sweet fruits.
> only in fall they start targeting easter food sources like dumpsters etc.
> they forage more and don't crowd BBQs like wasps
> only nest for 1 year then the hive is abandoned
> their smell scares away other pests, wandering hives
>>1056354
learn what local stuff is good and bad, and what they do. while it will not help 100% it will limit the "fear of the unknown" , and how to deal with them if you meet them.

Dude can't sew for shit; does he only use commercial gear? lol.
I'm a novice camper building my gear up. My local surplus store sells ALICE packs for $30 and frames for $50. Is it a meme or is it really as good as it gets for the price?
The only complaint I've heard is comfort but I've also heard they're fine. Help me /out/

Meme, you can get much better for $80.

shop around, alice is shit for 80$. id buy if it was 30 for both
>>
>>1050913
They're awful. They are uncomfortable, heavy, and they carry the load awkwardly, away from your body.
For $80 get a used Kelty Redwing 50. Hell sometimes Amazon has them new for that much. Camelcamelcamel.com for a price tracker
Was just changing a wound dressing at home, couldn't find medical tape, used some electrical tape and as long as I make sure it's loose over the wound wow this seems pretty waterproof. What's in your medkit? /k/ommando milsurp usually includes trauma shit like airway needles that probably aren't needed. I don't /out/ much yet, I'm getting my gear together for that now. I do a lot of active shit in urbanland and get injured a lot; this is everything I can think of that I use to repair damage and keep going.
>generic sterile gauze
>sterile nonstick gauze pads for dressing
>hemostatic gauze
>alcohol wipes
>sterile sealed gloves

>small fine tweezers

>bentadine

Drugs:
>ibuprofen, acetaminophen
>asprin I guess in case heart shits out (have had a few accute tachycardia attacks lately)
>electrolyte tablets
>antihistamine, probably Benadryl as it's more fast acting for a dangerous reaction vs ceterizine et al which are more for longer term allergies (take one daily with my prescriptions b/c allergies)
>Epinephrine if I can get my hands on it
>antibiotics, presumably from compatible farm animals or sketchy pharmacies
>ketamine
Standard other camping supplies that will be useful:
>duct tape
>multi-tool
>knife
>water treatment chemicals
>cook gear for sterilizing water and tools
>needle and thread
I could see where a scalpel and syringe would come in handy, though multitool scissors and a sharp knife can get scalpel work done acceptably, if not roughly. Syringe for irrigation mostly. EMT scissors I've never needed when multitool or a good knife is handy, taking care with the latter. This could all be packed pretty compact with mini versions of stuff.

What are some really autistic products made by larger companies? I'll start with the SOG hand axe. Tang is sharp and protrudes from the handle scales, ergonomic shaping is uncomfortable, it has horrible balance and is way too heavy so you can't get any blade speed, and it has this straight razor fucking hollow grind. Couldn't get beyond two swings with it.

Schrade died years ago, 100% of employees laid off and all manufacturing sold and liquidated.
The name was eventually bought by a chinese factory that had already been making garbage for years (or decades) and now they sell a shit they unironically call "Schrade".
0/0 DO NOT SUPPORT. The Schrade family/legacy did their best and made their money entirely in the past, it's a phony chinese scam now. They didn't even buy the Schrade patents or designs, just the name. Fuck off.

Is there any smoked fish or meat that can be packed for 3 days without being in a sachet or can?
I know about beef jerky and stockfish but I'm looking for something you can eat more of and it only needs to be preserved or cured enough to keep for a few days.

looking at this one.

What gear does your /out/ setup lack?
>subpar tent, sleeping pad and sleeping bag.
It works so far for the type of climate where I /out/ but it's really poor for winter or colder climates.

A compression sack for my sleeping bag or any form of water resistant covering I can put my sleeping bag or bed mat in when I have it tied to the outside of my pack. Gonna fix that problem as soon as I can tho.

don't worry op, we're all clairvoyant and can provide you a reasonable answer without you providing any of that information.
fucking faggot.

If you plan to /out in wet/rainy areas do get something synthetic, not down.
>>
>>1057704
If it is for a hammock, the general consensus AFAIK is that you are better with a quilt and under quilt (I use a tent so I could be wrong). A sleeping bag will get compressed between you and the hammock and do a poor job insulating you.
You need to give more information as already said here to get any good recommendations >>1057732
I see Enlightened Equipment mentioned often in hammock threads. Seems like they make nice down with hammocks in mind, but I've never used one myself.

I have read that eclipses can have an effect and possibly trigger earthquakes.
Looking at the massive eclipse coming up in August, it seems to go over all the hot spots in the US.
What are the chance this causes everything to go off?

Ok, out. I need some advice.
I have recently inherited a significant amount of money. Enough to retire in style.
I want to live somewhere civilized with a mild but not hot climate and close to or in an area that offers great outdoor options.
I love water and mountains.
I was thinking about Lake Tahoe.
Is that a good or bad idea? I'm open to suggestions.
