The cryhard stuff isn't really happening. It's lighthearted. Buy a drone and some underpants.
>>1034131

>>1034137
>$900
>a lot of birthday money
/out/ really is full of hobos and poorfags.
>>1034158
You really get $900+ money in birthday money?
I work for a living and have steady pay, but the birthday money is like <100.. If you do better, cheers to you.
>>1034131
PTR 91.

Big boys normally don't get birthday presents aside from maybe a dinner and a blowjob. OP obviously is a spoiled child or manchild.
My parents give me the max non taxable gift every year at christmas, and it gets split into my ira and my savings, but they don't even fucking call me on my birthday. No self respecting man celebrates his birthday past the age of 25ish.
>>1034166
>You really get $900+ money in birthday money?
This is pretty standard in Jewish families.
>>1034185
>okay but seriously
you just have shit taste then eh anon
>>1034131
I remember when I was 9yo and told my parents to stop celebrating my birthday. I was pretty adamant about it and it took a few years, but they finally got the message.
>>1034189
give me a better list of /out/ bday presents, then, anon-kun
Also I want to use this money to travel before I go back to college this summer, how much gear do I really need to go camping? I'm from some Detroit suburbs so I was thinking about going up to the UP for a week or two
>>1034195
>going up to the UP for a week or two
backpack w/ 2x change of clothes, 3x socks, slippahz
sleeping bag
sleeping mat
mosquito net
fishing pole
water purification tablets
mess kit w/ stock pot
compass
matches
hatchet
knife
cooking oil, meats, beer, etc
12ga shotgun for bears, lions, criminals
honestly if you're going to a cabin place or a camp ground that lets you have a fire take some cast iron cookware as well and make steaks. get a fishing license. have a plan to do something to fill up your time. make friends. enjoy the summer.
>>1034190
now u don't get $900 dollary doos every year. Ya dun goofed anon.
>>1034131
Buy 45 shitty hammocks and use them in a disposable fashion.
>>1034180
>My parents give me the max non taxable gift every year at christmas
I want $14,000 for christmas
>>1034264
My parents are rich, and my grandma is loaded. But i don't spend it, it all goes to savings and retirement. My point is that they give me 0 for my birthday because functioning adults don't get birthday presents except maybe a meal from friends or a bjibber from the wife/gf.
>>1034131
a good, compact stove
camp cookware
nice rainsuit
a tent that isnt shitty
some boots
are you into guns? gun shit
some nice outdoor, quick-drying clothes
i wish i would get given fucking $900..
>>1034265
your family sounds cold
>>1034265
>I get 0

Hmmmmmmmmmm
Are you from Dearborn? Do you own a Koran?
>>1034187
>Jews
>Giving out money
Do you _need_ the he gear? Like really need it? Because an alternative would be to use the money to go /out/ing somewhere cool!
Go check out the hmg kits.
>>1034307
>>1034264
not that strange, same for me like >>1034265
i get a lot but also basically zero.
the reason is you can only gift a total of 400k € in 10 years tax free to your kids. 10 years or less gets inheritance tax if the giver dies.
so i get ownership stakes or other stuff like shares every year. or get signed as a partial owner to bank accounts. i own that stuff but cant use it until they die or a specific reasons like my kids education. Well i could just waste it on fast cars and booze. or sue my parents to sell their business to get my stake payed out. but who would do that.

To answer OP's question: look at your big three (tent, bag, and pack) to determine if an upgrade would make a big difference. After that maybe get some nice hiking pants, boots, or a new midlayer. Anything left over? Go somewhere cool and use your shit.
>>1034131
Spend it all in a Hilleberg tent.
Pay off debt or invest it.
>>1034265
Lol. I get a storebought birthday cupcake from my wife and a crayoned card from my daughter. I usually cook a steak dinner for the family. Thats the extent of my birthday.

>>1034714
got a r value of around 5.5 can be cut into any shape and will last decades. with a good shape for your use you can probably half the weight.
its got only 5% more weight the the thermarest zlite sol if you use the same area. but also it has a tiny bit better r value.
only downside is the permanent bulky volume.
>>1034141
This is an 18+ cartoon board
>>1034131
Buy one or both of these and let us know how they work. I'd like to see a typical /out/ posters take on these things, and not the usual ultralighter's ultralighter review of the shit.
>It was good but weights a 10^-3 gram too much.
I mean if you have money to burn do it
>>1034432
This is such a weird fucking list. Ditch the axe, power bank, watch, first aid kit (just bring some disinfectant gauze, medical tape, and butterfly closures), and who the hell lists vaccinations in a shopping list unless you're traveling to a different part of the world?
>>1035191
not a pack list just a general idea list.
also the US is big enough to have different vaccinations in different regions. they are expensive so some people (idiots ) don't do them. CDC stats show 20% of people in the US don't have
one for tetanus. even less for tick-borne encephalitis hardly anyone has rabies.(that one makes sense as its so rare in the first world)
>>1034770
I have tried it, it is not worth it in any aspect IMO. i got a relatively cheap 600 gram mat now, which is much more insulated and comfortable in a catagory those super light weights never new existed.
It can't really be bought outside northern europe, but for those interested anyway, pic related. (the new model as an included drybag that double as a pump, instead of the pump pictured, which i have)
>>1035197
>hardly anyone has rabies
The rarity of the disease is less of a factor than around 20% of the population being severely allergic to it. Same shit with tetanus.
And even if you're not allergic it hurts like hell, has to be redone every 5 years, and has the potential for severe side effects that can last the rest of your life.
>>1035330
>20%
lol what ? stop pulling number out of you ass. This is like antivacs levels of retardation.
CDC stats have it at 1 in 1000 000 for serius side effects including allergic reactions.
just look at the VAERS ( Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) data
even 20 years ago the cases where down at 40 per 1 000 000
>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12922107
and here you have the data for 65 or older even their weak bodies had so little issues there were only 250 cases 30% with note of inappropriate use.
>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21920404
>Rabies has to be redone every 5 years
no. it has a high retention rate of neutralizing antibodies at 10 years it at 98% most people who don't have high risk contact will never need one again. studies with veterinary student show that with very good data.

>>1035364
>1 in a million
Explain how, in a nation of 320,000,000 people, I personally know over 200 people who have had serious allergic reactions to the rabies vaccine within the last 15 years, and over 1000 people who have had some form of adverse side effect from it. 95% of the batch of us that got vaccinated at the same time had an immediate adverse reaction, 2 people went into anaphylactic shock on the spot, and 12 needed overnight hospitalization.
>inb4 the vaccine the military uses is somehow different than what's commercially available
The US military re-vaccinates for Rabies every 5 years, military animal handlers get re-vacc'd yearly.
>>1035364
>talking about rabies
>links TDAP
nigga...
>Want cheap but nicely made net tent I was online
>Decide to be responsible and wait for first paycheck of new job to buy it instead of getting it immediately
>It's now SOLD OUT
FUUUUUUK. Now my options are getting the cheapshit chinese-slavelabor version of it for dirt cheap and it will break after the first outing, or buying the overpriced brand version that's ultralightâ„¢ for three-times more than the tent I wanted and basically the same. I'm never being responsible again fuck this shit.
Okay now that I've blog posted, I dunno what you want, what do you think you need? You have a good backpack? Hammock quilt? You could buy yourself a super nice tent and sleeping pad with 900 diddly dollerinos.
>>1035742
The us army only does rabies after you get bit. Mainly bacause its a giant 9 inch long needle that goes in through your belly button.
>>1035742
I'm impressed that you personally know >1200 people
>>1035743
>TDAP
Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis combination vaccine true its not pure Tetanus but by all means a bigger cocktail sould increase adverse reactions. TDaP was licensed in the 50s and because there so little side effects spilt vaccines are rare and so is the data for them.
and the guy claimed
>around 20% of the population being severely allergic to it.[rabies] Same shit with tetanus.
>Same shit with tetanus.
if you wan only rabies look at
https://www.cdc.gov/rabies/specific_groups/doctors/adverse_reaction.html
it list the data for a types of rabies vaccines but data is pretty much the same.
to quote:
>"1.1 million doses of PCEC were distributed (from 1997 to 2005) and 331 reports describing adverse events following PCEC administration were received by VAERS." " (e.g., pain at the injection site, redness, swelling, induration) among 60-89.5% of recipients. Most local reactions were mild and resolved spontaneously within a few days. Local pain at the injection site was the most frequently reported adverse reaction occurring in 21-77% of vaccinees. Mild systemic reactions (e.g., fever, headache, dizziness, gastrointestinal symptoms) were reported in 6.8-55.6% of recipients."
>>1035773
no big needle needed if its preemptive rabies, 2 months ahead of exposure to risk. its 4 doses normal vaccine injection of a few ml, they feel like normal muscle soreness for a few days. got it for nepal 2 years ago.
