Mosquitoes hate DEET but they love NEET. Obviously the NEET in you is formidable..

Yeah, muzzies are a big problem not only /out/ in the woods but specially in bug cities. :/

Nope.

This anon doesn't know what they're talking about. It definitely happens although I have no idea how frequently. Where I am from loggers hardly ever use hand crews anymore its all done in processors. Other logging dangers include highly defective/damaged trees with unpredictable wood inside (known as widowmakers) and loggers with less experience (or when felling a tree with a lot of lean) there is a chance to barber chair the tree, which means some the wood fiber is still attached in the wrong pace, ie. not on the hingewood but near the outside of the tree. The causes wood to spring back at full force, often enough to strike and kill the sawyer.

It's a decent park. If you're up to it, Restoule is also a great one and it's just a bit further north.

Every park is kill bear park once I'm there.

I recommend Shasta and Lassen in the North. Beautiful mountains you can hike or drive, no permit needed.

Well, I make my own every spring. Pic very related. It's old czech tradition.

Bretty cool, any tips for hand carving one? Ive tried to make flutes in the past but have mostly failed.

Bike seats like that have been shown to cause impotence.
If you are a male and ride more than a few hours a month , you should look into it.

Don't come to the Midwest, our /out/ sucks. Fortunately Montana and Wyoming are not part of the Midwest and are pretty dank /out/ states.

Yes, and I do often. I am fortunate enough to have been able to recently purchase 18 acres in a very rural area several hours from where I live now. I have $12k leftover to build a small cabin this summer, which will be used as a weekend getaway and hunting cabin. There is no power there, so solar/generator will be needed. No cell signal either. I'm debating whether or not to make a youtube channel and detail all this. Anyone that has any tips or suggestions is more than welcome to comment.

That sounds nice. What you're doing would be more realistic for me. There's a good bit of cheap land here in Alabama but I want climate that is a bit colder.


I would want electricity and internet in my dream getaway. I don't want completed isolation but like 30-40 minutes to the nearest town via vehicle.

*preferably something that pays decently and maybe has benefits

>>1044763
Wildlife/game and fish law enforcement. Get a degree in wildlife management or some sort of recreation degree. It makes you more competitive, and you'll get paid more. The pay is decent and increases over time, and the incentives are usually pretty good. Truck, boat, four wheeler, and other things like that. You don't have to stress quite so much about writing stupid tickets to meet some quota, and you're outside most of the time. If you can get your foot into the federal side, they pay very well compared to most states.

Your best way to survive is to not do it. Surviving in the wilderness is NOT for the inexperienced. You need to practice and train for years before even attempting to survive for prolonged periods of time in the wild.

>>1043512
How long is your "prolonged period"
When are you starting?
What prior outdoor experience do you have?
What equipment do you have and how much money do you have to procure additional things?
Do you fully understand how stupid this idea is and how autistic you sound?

>>1043512
The fall and winter will kill you in the national parks in WA. Especially if you're inexperienced.

>Anyone know how to help this?
throw them away, buy different boots

>>1041820

But I just spent my entire annual boot budget on them

I got a similar problem with my malleoli, you could try keeping upper string little loose and using a different kind of socks

Become a bow hunter.

Imo you could get some pigs and feed the deers to your pigs

>>1040467
Tangentially related, you should read Deerskins into Buckskins. Worth the purchase price tenfold. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0965867242

Haven't watched a single episode but I saw a clip of s previous season and recognized a guy from bushkeker forums.

Pretty cool I guess.

Yeah I believe they pick youtubers, kinda like Forged in Fire. Then they get humiliated for not knowing what the hell they are doing outside their backyard.

Head to /s/ to download some material, if that's truly your plan.

Good Luck!

Wishing you luck, my friend.

Why would anyone carry a knife or a hatchet when you can instead bring a sword?

Yep. Trying to raise as much food as possible. Got a garden, some chickens, and a few months worth of food storage. Got a berkey water filter and some anti biotics. A few gallons of water stored, but a water collection system in the backyard for emergency only. A few guns for protecting the family. And I lI've in the rural parts of nc with a good community of like minded people.

Mainly I just like living in my own way and not being overly dependent on "the system". As long as you keep it sane and fun, it's healthy and smart. Just don't go full "doomsday"

>>1023796
Yep. Same as guy above me. Few months of food storage (rice/beans/wheat/canned goods) should last about 7 months. Trying to get a good crop garden going. I raise rabbits due to noise from chickens and they are actually great at fertilizing my yard in their rabbit hutch tractor. I got a smaller water filter than yours but also keep a gallon of bleach on hand to disinfect rapidly. Also, I have medical things and lots of hand sanitizer on deck should the water get stopped or infected.

>>1023814
Where did you buy the food storage from? What breed of rabbit?
