Weird price point, most scopes are either $100-200 or $1000+ I just have a bog standard nova refractor. I'm not huge into astronomy, I just know it's well built and good enough for me to see saturn with and only cost me $150

How is your view of Saturn? and at what magnification

i make wallet survival kits (for myself), no they arent a meme, they useful in everyday situations. compactness forces you to carry things you might not normally

also, the point is to make it yourself. buying them is a whole other realm

No, no one has ever had to survive out of an altoids kits. At most, people have needed a bandaid when their kid got a boo boo, or pretended to need to start a fire innawoods with tinder out of them.

All of the "thoughts" on what they should contain are 100% imagination from out of shape neckbeards squatting in their backyards.

let it get a patina and keep it (cutting up fruits like apples and nanas seems to work) . always wipe it dry when it gets whett, cooking oil helps as well.

>Best way to take care of carbon steel knives when /out/?

Patina
Wipe dry if wet
Don't go diving in the dead sea with it

That's how I do it

So once it develops a patina, it wont rust anymore? Also how about forced patinas, do those work the same way? I just saw those online, boiling vinegar and dunking the blade in for some time

Picked up the Plano A-Series Duffel. Not sure how many slim 3601 boxes I have in it now but I know it's fucking ridiculous. I'll have to snap some pictures later. It's first outing will be this weekend, weather permitting, and I can see how it fairs over the 3700 Guide Series Hydro-Flo. Only gripes so far is I would've liked to see a rubberized bottom or at least some kind of hardening and water prevention. Also the pockets are horizontally spacious and deep but kind of minimal. Would've been nice if they went asymmetric and put a tall pocket on one side or the other. I see the PALS webbing being put to use sooner than later.

Many states have license-free fishing days where anybody can go fishing over the course of a given day or even weekend. Some have license-free beaches, piers, etc year round. As a last resort some states even offer single-day three-day or weekly licenses which are often much cheaper than an annual license. Check your local DNR website for this info or give them a call about it.

I haven't been checked by DNR once this year. Last year I was checked at least three times. As another anon pointed out the chance of being checked is always there and the cost is much higher than the license if you're caught without one.

Yes, it would be the best for nature to let it sort things out itself, but that doesn't put meat in my freezer

>>1043915
I can respect people who hunt for food rather than trophies, but they are a small minority of hunters. For most people, it is far easier and cheaper to buy meat than to pay for the privilege of hunting on someone else's land.

Won't they get assraped once a Disney employee sees the footage, especially with their faces in it?

>>1043872
Yep

He also went to River Country, Body Wars, and Cranium command in his other videos. He's getting banned for life for sure.

People like this take the fun out of urbexing and just ruin it for everyone because video proof of someone getting there (at least on youtube for all the normies to see) will just make them bump up security now. Fuck these guys.

I wanted to check something that I was thinking about for a while, but had no time to put it to the test.
I was curious how a simple twine would do for tarp setup.
It's lighter, thinner, than paracord, and it's also piss-cheap and natural, meaning I can burn it in a fire or even burry when leaving the camp site, for me it was always frustrating how much time it takes to pack up, fucking with all the cords and shit.

Turned out, much to my own surprise, it's very good at the job - it's not only much less slippery & elastic, meaning it's easier to tighten, but it also is surprisingly strong.
I wanted to test how much pressure it can take till it brakes, pulled as strong as I could, and.... I ripped the tarp apart. And I'm not talking about those pussy ass, faggy "bushcrap" tarps, I use a regular, thick, 3m x 3m 260 grain tarpaulin.

So, it's twine for me from now on.
Just wanted to share.

Twine (jute/sisal/hemp) also has the benefit of biodegrading relatively quickly innawoods so it doesn't contribute to litter. Plus birds and squirrels absolutely fucking love that shit for their nests. I use twine around my camping spot and even left out for a couple days whatever strands are scattered about get pulled apart by the wildlife to make nests. Any twine strands left out over winter basically rot away by summer.

No, because they will see you with their headlamp. Why not just use a headlamp for hiking?

I'd be wary of using an air rifle in an urban setting. How urban are we talking?

This too. You don't want to eat anything that feeds off city floors

Good for festival camping. Bad for being drunk.

>>1042315
Piss bottles will help most of that, though proper diet and eating/drinking times can curb the need for bathroom use at night.

Way better than one of those foam mats that are both uncomfortable and take up more space

Go to a store and try some out if you can

Why bother when you can just sleep on the road?

Yeah, If you're a car camper. lol. Anyone who does anything other than groomed campsites needs something that doesn't become a pancake the second it touches a thorn or a stick or grain of sand.

If comfort is more important to you than reliability, you don't belong /out/.

If you want to fight the blair witch, you have to become the blair witch.

If some redneck want to rape you, you have to rape him instead

Lel you have nothing to prove to anyone, if you weren't enjoying yourself there's no shame packing up and leaving.

Who knows, maybe you dodged something fucked up.
