Hello /out/, I need your help. I hope I don't break any boardrules/culture with this post.
I am completly new to going camping in the woods. I camped a few times with my dad at official camping spots but I never went into the woods on my own to spend a few nights there.
Can you recommend me some stuff (and brands) that I will need to spend a few nights in the woods somewhat comfortable.
Hunting food is out of question because I life in germany. Tents are a no go aswell, because that would break the law.
I hope you can give me some tips/pointers so I can become a sc/out/ aswell.

What kind of shelter are you allowed to have then?
The only real differences between 1 night and 3 are your food, water, and toiletry requirements. Depending on length you may need a filter, or you can pack in all your water. If you are walking anywhere I would bring some sort of water purification just in case something goes wrong. A sawyer, life straw, or iodine tablets can fulfill this. For long trips where I know I'm going to filter a lot of water I prefer a pump style with an adapter to fill my bladder through the drinking tube instead of removing it from my pack.
Stuff:
Sleeping bag (+pad if sleeping on ground)
Folding chair with arms and cup holder
flask+favorite spirit
dining set- fork, knife, bowl, and cup are all you NEED
cookset- portable stove, one small pot and coffee pot if you so desire
toilet paper, soap, toothbrush+paste, first aid kit
A cigar
A book
Flashlight (LED headlamp preferable for reading)
Fire making materials (ferro rod, lighter, tinder, firestarters, etc)
A knife
Extra rope
Extra socks and underwear

Thanks for the input.
when i just build a roof over me I won't get punished as hard as having a full tent build up.
Can you recommend any sleeping bags + pads?
Knife (the size and quality of which is down to personal preference)
Cordage
Pot
Cup
Lighter (ferro rod, etc; again, personal preference)
Hatchet (optional depending on the size and usefulness of your knife)
Whatever else you need/want.

>Tents
Why are they not allowed? Just on State land or private?
>>628314
Why bother with all that shit when you can just boil and drink nearly any water?
>>628321
In the free country of germany, you are not allowed to camp in the forest outside of camping sites. Not using a tent gets around that law, because technically you aren't camping. Its stupid.
>>628336
Building a shelter is fine, though?
>>628339
With a tarp, yes
>>628331
Maybe some people don't want to sit around for hours like a retard boiling gallons of water when a $15 product offers a solution

Camp stove or proper fire faggot. Much better than lugging around a load of other bullshit.
In welcher Region lebst du ?
Well, if you can't use a tenr, but CAN use a tarp, I'd say you have a fee options.
First, get a good tarp. I'd say a 12x12 would work for you. You can make many types of shelter with just 1 tarp.
For sleeping, I prefer a hammock. They're comfortable, and a great way to experience being /out/.
I'll list a few things, the basics that u personally would take /out/. Because I'm american, I'll just list what I know in usa $, since I don't know exactly what you'd have to pay in Germany.
-Kelty Noah's tarp 12x12, $55
-Grand Trunk ultralight hammock, $20
-atlas straps (suspension for hammock) $20
-20 degree sleeping bag, available anywhere, $50-$100
-closed cell foam sleeping pad $25
-morakniv companion knife $15
-sawyer mini water filter $20
-Stanley cook pot $15
-any flashlight/headlamp $5
-cordage/rope (to hang tarp) $10
-mountain house brand bag meals $6 each (I actually like them)
Keep in mind, this list isn't comprehensive, and not perfect, but if you had all of these things, you could be outside a few days very comfortable. You can add more as you go, or get nicer stuff. Most this stuff I list is cheap/entry level stuff. Awesome to see you trying to get /out/ more.

True. I like to stop hiking every two hours or so to boil more water

>camping=sitting around a fire boiling water
Sure thing twat
>>628296
Pic related Should give you a decent idea
>>629118
His idea of being /out/ revolves around boiling water. It's sad really when there are much better things to do
>>629067
There's also a lot of crap information in that picture.
>I don't use my sleeping bag's compression sack so it will stay lofty longer
Don't pack it up tight and store it loose like the manufacturer would recommend
>Boil water
instead of getting a filter that will cost $20
>dried hazelnut for stakes
instead of cheap aluminum/steel from wal-mart
>doesn't explain that wool keeps moisture away from your skin
>bringing bar soap
instead of flushable wipes
>trash bag groundsheet
instead of painter's plastic sheeting
>use a large plastic bag inside your backpack as water protection
Instead of compartmentalizing with ziploc freezer bags
>tarp
instead of a cheap tent that is much better suited for beginners
