I can't answer your question about the Montreal Area, but I have a question for you. How's the hiking and wild camping in Romania? I know you have a lot of forests and mountains, but I was wondering if you can safely/secluded/legally camp in the wild as a tourist and travel around the countryside? Is it easy enough to travel from village to village and stock up on supplies as you go?

Cross the border and head to Adirondack State Park in NY

Pick one.
As it relates to safely camping, it does depend where you go, there are forests with bears and wolves which tend to kill tourists a lot, but if you find a friend in Romania he'll tell you what to avoid.
>supplies as you go
Every village I've been through has a general store and you'd be all right buying that stuff as long as you have the romanian currency. I would also recommend learning words like water: "apă", and all other supplies you know you'll need, otherwise the clerks might not understand what you're saying and get angry. If they do understand, they tend to ask for euro payments and raise the prices significantly, so watch out for that.
All that being said, I highly recommend you go, I have yet to see wild that free anywhere else in the world.

not very /out related/ but fun to yell along to though

>>1046502
I knew exactly what kind of music it was gonna be just because of the youtube photo, seems like great fun though.

Throw away mentality is errything wrong with modern day USA
Buy yourself a nice 50-100$ folder
If you can get something in not a cheap Chinese steel that's ideal
154cm isn't terrible ( I actually like how it sharpen) s30 isn't too bad , s35 is better

>>1046348
Also worth noting, look into brands that have good waruntee s and customer service
Despite things being made well little things may go wrong, and of you have a good company backing you you shouldn't have to worry about it

>>1046348
I threw out the first one since I kept it accidentally in the travel luggage at the aeroport. It taught me never to be careless with shit like that.

The other three I gave to other people as "first knives". They don't use them at all but keep them on them whenever they hike randomly. I try not to throw shit out. The other side is that I start hoarding stuff too which is a problem.


>>1046356
What about going on ebay to save 10-25% of the cost of the knives but not getting warranty?

>>1045513
Why not just ask them if you could hike there? They teach retards, they sound pretty nice.

>>1045584
idk m8, i'm kind of shy and maybe they gonna think i'm going to smoke marijuana or do drugs inside there

>>1045513
Veracruz is way too dangerous right now with the Jalisco thugs coming into te state

the drug gangs have clandestine training camps in the woods. if you go, be very careful of going into a 'campsite', you might end up in a LiveLeak video

fades come and go and in the age of internet memes get old really fast. so much content popping up in a short period of time gets repetitive.

>>1044952
Obambo isn't presidente.

>>1044952
Because this gay fad has grown stale and normies have a short attention span

No they don't. Even the retards here know it costs twice as much for something inferior

Did I hurt your feefees? Grow up kiddo

>>1043291
first time lurker here, I'm really interested in learning how to grown some food.

>>1043189
Trade them to friends, family, and neighbors for foods you are not growing.

>>1043260
Bonsai?

>>1043293
Make a list of foods you like, check the ingredients, research how to grow those plants, research what cultivars are best for your location, grow those cultivars.

I need some advice. Two days ago I was doing yard work which involved completely removing a twenty year old english ivy that grew ugly and unchecked. It turns out it formed some really nice trunks so having choice between discarding them right away and trying to do something interesting with them I pulled them from the ground as carefully as possible given the conditions (it grew in mostly sand and brick rubble somehow) and planted them in pots for now.
Due to the pruning 100% of the leaves are gone and roots had to be reduced significantly during harvesting. I planted them in much richer soil, on the second day fertilized with something that should encourage rooting and left it in a half shade under a large tree.
I don't expect much, wouldn't be surprised if they all died but from what I observed over the years english ivy is extremely resilient and grows like a weed essentially.
In about how long you think I should expect to see signs if they'll make it or not?

>>1043105
You pack each part of the tent separately, not as a big bulky bag. Only thing I'd accept is to put the poles on the outside. Everything should fit inside easily.

With a 70 L pack, the poles should probably be fitting inside too, unless you've got some crazy gear requirements or bear cans.

>>1043105
>>1043114
It might also be helpful to post your entire gear list, maybe with pictures. Chances are you can leave some gear at home.

Heavy stuff at the bottom and priority stuff at easy access points and everything else in points that are more "storage".

Ultimately, pack and repack your pack with various amounts of gear like 100 times until you find out what you can really fit in your pack. The weight distribution only matters if you intend to set records or are terrified of sore muscles.

to a fire from scratch, you must first invent the universe.

>>1048752
Thank you.
You are right, if i burn down the whole area, it doesn't really matter as long as it can't be traced back to me

>>1048747
Sort of depends on how dry the area is. Just use your judgement, unless your judgement is shit.

This thread is pure autism.

>>1048317
I agree with the bird, though you some of you will definitely get pecked.
There is absolutely NO way you could take a chimp, or any small monkey. Those things are SOLID muscle and at best you could all kick it while it tears one of your friend's face off and maybe it would run away.
If you got into a fight with a black bear, it probably wouldn't flee because the only time it would fight you is in defense of its cubs. And it could kill all of you, hands down.
If you had a gun or a blade obviously it would be different but still someone is going to die.

>>1048337
With the ape section we said any smaller than a chimp in the thought of this, because for the most part we would have more weight than it (in the 2 bigger guys) they would try to almost pin it when other would target vitals like neck or eyes. Black bears are much smaller than you'd think so that's why we said we would have a chance with they same tactic of basically sacrificing one or two while others get eyes or other spots. We aren't looking for survival of everyone, just wondering if any of us would survive said fights. Any opinions on any big cats, wolf types, or other random African wildlife?

trapped a skinwalker in your chimney?

>>1048107
Did you have a fire going?
I wouldn't worry about it being an animal.

>can you eat them
yes
>should you eat them
i don't know

If they taste good you can eat them.

>>1048059
Jelly beans. Eat them.
Also where is the bush I need to know for reasons.

>>1047998
What /out/ experience do you have? I have a feeling if you are asking then you probably shouldn't attempt this on your own.

>>1047999

Ive been bushcrafting for the last 4 years and did serveral week long tours here in Germany, but only in spring and summer, so no snow at all. I know how I can survive in the wilderness, but I have never been out in the temperatures of the canadian winter

>>1048031
You're missing like $2k in gear and years of experience. Winter backpacking in Northern North America is no fucking joke.

>>1047832
The heartworm medicine I use on my dog supposedly kills ticks on contact, and I do a quick once-over with a curry comb when we get home.

It's never been a problem for me.

>>1047835
I think the medicine only kills once the tick bites. Sometimes they will drop off the dog before biting. Found a couple in my car and couch so far this season.

Are you in NE or somewhere else? Also what kind of fur/hair does your doggo have?

>>1047839
NW corner of MO. So kinda similar area depending on which side of NE you're on.

Yellow lab, so coarse, straight, decently long fur.

All the live ticks that've made it into my house I can say with 95% certainty came in either off me, or off my cat from my yard (his heartworm medicine doesn't kill ticks). I do find a fair number of dead ticks in my dog's bed or in the bed of my truck. Doggo doesn't ride in the cab with me, he goes in the truck bed under the camper shell.

You're car camping
There will be people around
There is always someone who is a bigger idiot than you
They will be making a mess, frying smelly shit, and generally being bear bait
Keep your shit clean, tidy, and odor free, and the bears will go to the idiot and leave you alone

>>1047502
>Bear Aware
I also would have accepted "Burr Awurr"

Yeah keep you stuff in your car, have some burr spray in the tent/on you when you hike. I don't think there's anything too comprehensive you need to do, just common sense precautions.

Keep all food and garbage far from camp, hang food. Eat far from camp. Every family member should have their own bear spray and know how to use it as well as understand bear behaviour. In heavily bear populated areas you can set up a portable electric bear fence.
