Corsica?

>>1049138
Hi op, I would recommend you to wait for september or May/June. August will be crowded as fuck I heard. One of the best hikes I heard also. Enjoy les refuges avec des bonnes pates du bon saucisson et du bon pinard.

>>1050373
Yeaaaahhhh
>>1050384
Not too fussed about crowds desu. I usually hike isolated routes solo so I am quite interested in walking something that has more people on it.

However, getting to Corsica is turning out to be more expensive than I thought so I am probably going to look at walk all or some of the GR11.

You split wood to make kindling so you can start a fire.

It is for entertainment purposes.

I never really bother with splitting wood down to kindling unless I'm making a base, normally there's enough dead standing branchs that I can get a fuck ton of kindling sized sticks.
I carry an axe anyways, batoning is fucking stupid.

Not spanish but hiked the GR trail that goes through Catalunya a few years ago. Did 7 days over one section and it was pretty boss. VERY quiet trails, as for wildlife - plenty of boar, also found some salamanders.

No problem with stealth wild camping, but please respect the fire ban and avoid solid fuels

>French way
It's the most popular one so expect a lot of people

>GR11
Didn't even know it existed, seems quite good from what I've seen online

>Can you camp along the trail?
It's illegal here in Spain, tho legislation changes from one autonomous community to other so check for the ones your gonna go through

>do any of these trails get to experience any decent "wilderness"
I wouldn't expect that from the french way at least

I have one of the smaller ones. They're efficient but not too hot. If you want to do serious cooking you need to foil the food, put it inside, and keep the fire burning on top

>>1043175
They are nice in that they are small. Putting out the fire can be a problem if you are done cooking and don't want to wait for the stove to burn out. As with all these types of stoves, the larger they are the better they perform for efficiency and BTUs for cooking. Meaning that you shouldn't try to boil a gallon of water on a small stove. Try boiling 2 cups of water instead.

I prefer rocket stoves.

I have one that I made. You can make them pretty easily from a coffee can. They don't last forever but when one breaks I can just build another.

>2 days
Really?
No one here has anything to say about chaga?

If you mix it with licorice root tea there's some sort of sensory synergy that tastes amazing. I'm in zone 6A in the southeast, friends find it regularly up on the Blue Ridge Parkway above 5000ft. I've never looked for it, but I do trade reishi for it occasionally.

>>1040720
Sadly there's no birch at my elevation. Jealous you have some within reach.

Ive heard reishi has some similar health benefits

I'll take a photo later

Bic, Zippo on occasion. wallet aint too hot, its prob not going to survive the year. bought a fenix rc-5, its still kicking, desu. need a new watch, any ideas? needs to be waterproof and durable but cheap. used to have a casio but it died on drop from my dresser one morning, still bummed out from that. would like a more tactical looking watch.

TL;DR- shit, need watch, any ideas?

Details on what you want to do. Otherwise I'll just tell you to get a kayak.

I want to get a GF but that will never happen. But when it comes to camping and hiking I like to hang out really cold places like Canada and the Northern USA.

How wind resistant is it?

What do you generally layer underneath? Thinking of a Black Diamond hoodie fleece like pic related.

Temps drop to 15 F apparently at night.

Best place to acquire gorka gear for stalkan?

First for the Midwest.

I'm pretty sure my state is WAY to far north for sea stripper to swim up here.

spoons just work

it has this spine thing called a "free flow system"
which keeps the bag lifted off my back for air flow or some shit, but all it fucking does is take up space in the fucking bag.

>>1053806
If you shop at Crappy Tire of course it's going to be shit, you'd probably be better off with a MEC bag for the price. That said, Woods made decent stuff at one point though so it might be all right. At least it's not World Famous or Misty Mountain or something like that.

I think the stitching is the main thing to worry about with lower end bags so bring a needle and some upholstery thread if you're worried. I usually bring some anyway just in case.

im inexperienced when it comes to bags,
is 40L standard?
in my bag so far i can fit a sweater, 5 shirts, a pair of thick jogging pants, 4 pairs of undies, 4 of socks, and a pair of shorts, plus a few small books, paper, pencils etc

I feel like there should be more room, but 5 shirts is getting excessive ig

im moving coasts and hitchhiking at the same time so im trying to minimalize without getting sentimental

Dough balls or "boilies", there are tons of recipes, the simplest is mixing bread with a little bit of peanut butter and water. Daytime is usually more productive, or at least less catfish biting.

>Steel leaders
This will spook the carp and why would you need one?
They have no teefus

>>1053793
Carp are greedy as hell, find a nice spot where you suspect carp may be feeding, or at least hanging out, and feed the water with plenty of bait to draw them in, anything oily will draw in the most, hemp seed works very well, then get your hook bait over your baited spot and wait. You could the use a second rod with light tackle to hunt the margines with a bit of dough, or even a flake of crust or dog biscuit on the surface if they are taking food off the top. I like to throw in a few floating dog biscuits every now and then to see if any come up to feed, and if they do then drop my bait where I last saw it feed and usually you will come up trumps

At Dr.Shrink's office.

You're supposed to use magnesium shavings to ignite the rubber.

I wish these whore youtube "survival" channels would quit popping up.

>>1050781
Emelie's channel is pretty comfy though.

She doesn't pretend to be en expert that "demonstrates" bushkek skills or does a lot of gear reviews.

She looks like a person that genuinely enjoys the outdoors.

nice blogpost

Why is there even a market for this kind of rubbish?

Is it a cultural thing?
