It means several progressive climbs, then a suicidal dash to the summit, hang out on top for like ten minutes then race back down before you fucking die.

It's also a logistical nightmare and the poor fucks that volunteer/funded to play doctor watch people die all the time for being reckless. There's simply way too many fucking people up there and they spend the majority of their time not climbing to the top

Using a hammock while /out/ is one of the best things I've done for overall enjoyability since I started hiking.

I've been using a Hennessy Expedition A-sym for the past few years, and it's been serving me well. Had a squirrel chew some of the mosquito netting on my last trip of the summer though, and I need to patch it this winter. Knew a guy who had used his hennesy for over 10k miles of trips, they're good quality, if a little more mainstream.

My only problem with my hammock is the A-sym fly, it works but there have been nights when I've wished for a 6 point fly so I could have 4 pegs, and therefore less rain blowing up inside my hammock and getting me wet. That can be avoided by making sure your fly is set up properly (and weighted: protip, a full nalgene with a beaner makes a GREAT weight for a corner of your fly!) but a 6 point would allow me to be less diligent about setup.

Pic related: best picture I've taken of my hammock.

/out/ is probably completely fucking dead but I honestly don't know where else to ask this. You guys know your shit.

I was planning on getting myself pic related (Taipen takedown bow) as it is cheap but it also seems decent. I want to start doing bow hunting and general archery but I'm not sure what equipment to start off with. I don't want to spend two thousand dollars on a tactikool compound bow and there are very sexy looking recurves out there. I just want to know if any sc/out/s who have experience in archery and bows in general can recommend me some decent first time bows which won't leave me broke.

Also…

>What arrows to buy?

>What to look out for when hunting

>general rules and shit (I know the laws and I have land I'm legally allowed to hunt on. But any advice in general would be apreciated)

>What draw weight for babby's first bow? I have a lot of upper body strength and I know I'll only get stronger over time but I don't want to fuck up and buy something way too heavy to pull. (As if recurves are that heavy, but just a thought.)

General tips welcome too.

 No.1154

Recurve bows are great for starting out as they are generally lighter and easier to pull, and you may be able to use one to hunt small game (water fowl, rabbits, maybe even turkey). If you decide to hunt larger animals, you'd probably need to move up to a compound bow or something with a greater draw weight.

Standard hunting arrows are good for most situations, but just get practice arrows when you're first learning the bow. Check out guillotine arrows if you want to hunt large birds like turkey.

As far as rules go, I'm not too sure. I assume it would be the same as regular hunting (only during season, no killing females, etc.) but you may want to verify.


 No.1155

At least in Denmark rules for bow hunting are very strict, and you have to get sort of an extended hunting permit too.

What kind of camouflage or patterns do you wear when innawoods?

My favorite pants are a pair of BDU Three-Color Desert used in the 90s, I have maybe three pairs of varying fading and wear. It don't really feel like I'm "experiencing the outdoors" unless I'm wearing some form of camo or earthly tones, I think blue jeans are a sin outside of the city or suburbia. Thoughts?

Im considering moving to a rural, farming-friendly area.

My idea is to buy a container house, but im not sure how to properly handle this.

are C.H. able to get running water and electricity installed?

Are there any problems with such a house in such a place?

 No.1148

The only thing preventing you from getting utilities ran into a steel box is your own ability to run said utilities.

As long as you know basic plumbing/electrical nobody can tell you what you can do in that regard.

If you're planning on running pipes into your house though remember to make sure the ground your container's placed on is higher elevation than your septic tank if you plan on putting a shitter in there. For shower/sink drainage I shouldn't have to tell you this but… ROUT IT TO A FUCKING GARDEN.

So help me god faggot if you don't use that greywater to grow delicious cucumbers I'll fucking knife a kitten.


 No.1149

>>1148

Another thing I'd recommend since you're living in a tiny metal box: Don't bother with on-grid electricity. Setting up a solar bank is easy AF and you probably won't be using that much electricity since your heating/lighting requirements will be minimal.

I only had $400 to set up my solar shit and I'm still living pretty comfy. It's enough to run my computer during the day and well into the night before I have to run my gen. (That being said my fridge is gas powered and I handwash my clothes so my power requirements are next to nothing.)

If you had like $2000 you could probably live with more electrical power than you'd ever need assuming you're not running heavy equipment or anything, And even then that's what generators are for.

My dad has a Tree Walker Coonhound, but I've been her primary caretaker for the last year and a half, and she answers to my commands more than my dad's so she may as well be my dog. She's about seven years old now, but she never got a lot of run time under my dad's care. She stays on a separate property from where we live, and I let her out to run for about an hour or two every day. She's well trained, but she's always spooled up and ready to go, so I give her a little wiggle room depending on the day.

I've taken her with me on my last two trips kayaking on Lake Jocassee. I was worried she wouldn't handle herself on a kayak very well, but turned the forward cockpit into a kind of sling that she could hang in, and she absolutely loved it. Slept in her sling during the trip, ran along the banks and swam when we stepped off. She even managed to catch a squirrel on the first trip, which I skinned and let her eat because I was proud of her. Glad she didn't get sick from it.

She's a good dog.

That's me right now. I'm in Maine, the woods here is great and it hurts not to be out in it more. I'm too poor to drive anywhere, I'm busting my ass working and saving every penny for college.

Only been camping once this summer and it was fucking car camping, I embarrassed myself badly in front of my friends when I didn't account for the bad drainage of the gravel lot we were on and ended up with a flooded tent

It's been the opposite for me. City kid that moved out into the middle of nowhere for school. First semester was absolutely horrible for me. Now after a full year up here and then coming back, I've gotten used to it and have been trying to pick up on some more bushcraft skills to use while camping.

I live in suburbia. Almost every day I wait to get off work just go to the local 800+ acre park. Winter means I can barely go for an hour run with the dog before nightfall. But weekends are nice to do an extended day hike 10 mile loop. You'll never mistake where you are for true /out/, but if you go a few miles into the trails, you never see any people. I'd probably go crazy without that release and it is probably the main thing that keeps me staying working in this city.

Usually the pad is placed under the person sleeping.

The main benifit of using a pad is that it insulates the body better than a sleeping bag alone, as it doesnt compress and lose the ability to isolate your body.

Hey /out/

I'm a student living in Melbourne Australia. I'm in my final year of high school and I've been looking to the future. I've decided that I don't want to go to University straight away (if at all) and I want to do a sort of money burning Supertramp, into the wild adventure thing. I probably won't burn my money but I do want to disappear for a bit, see where the road takes me.

I was wondering if you guys had any tips/tricks for backpacking/being homeless.
