>>1314519Only growing what will actually be eaten...bell peppers and jalapenos
>>1313729Tradewind Fruit, Puckerbutt, and Baker Creek
>>1314540"master gardener" is a volunteer thing afaik, at least in my state, you're not really supposed to call yourself a "master gardener" except when you're volunteering with your county extension office's "master gardener" program.
>>1314519I'm growing just one hot pepper plant per season usually, that's enough for a non capsaicin junkie like me, just to spice things up a little here and there (dried and powdered), the rest are bell peppers. Can be used fresh for salads or filled with meat and cooked etc, but I also dry/powder those to enrich sauces, or coat chicken in etc
Hi, /out/.This is my first time on this specific board, so I hope my post isn't horrible. Anyway, I wanted to hear what some of you think about Vibram Fivefingers. Specifically, the Trek Ascent. Thanks for stopping by.
>>1311748had a pair years ago, went hiking with em, stubbed my pinky toe on every god damn rock that exists up there would not recc, they were cool for mile runs though, got my fastest time in em
>>1311748There are things more gay than this. Like regularly taking cocks up the ass if you're a guy, or marching in a gay pride parade with rainbow colored assless chaps.But no, seriously, wear 'em, hike in 'em. The rest of us need something to remind us that no matter how bad things get, we haven't devolved to the level of wearing glove foot meme shoes.
I had a pair if trek sports like 9 years ago fucking loved them wore them all the time till i burned a hole in both the soles after 2-3 years best shoes I've ever ownedBUT barefoot isn't for everyone you can and will fuck up your feet/knees if you do not naturally walk with the ball of your foot or someshit I forget what the "style" is called also these technically not for running on pavementoh also if you don't wear socks you will have to wash these things all the time because they will smell like an aids infected asshole
>>1312997One of the most underrated perks for working from home desu
I was on a hike on the Florida Trail, met a guy five miles from the nearest trailhead hiking barefoot. I had stopped for a break, he nodded on the way past and asked if I minded a couple minutes of company. Turned out to be a cool dude. Turns out he hikes barefoot all over the East coast, but otherwise had normal gear like anyone else. Said he always ends up with blisters from shoes and socks no matter how many different ones he tries, so just decided years ago to ditch them and has done just fine. Haven't tried it myself, but I would before trying on some foot-glove gay ass abomination like these.
Got my new Hammock today, pic related. Post pictures of your setup or things you've found online!
So I'm going camping tomorrow and rather than bring an underquilt I'm bringing a second hammock and an exceptionally cheap sleeping bag that I plan to hang immediately below my hammock and my actual sleeping bag. Thoughts on this setup as replacement to an underquilt? Both hammocks are the the same model
>>1314423sounds like it'll work but that's way more complicated than an underquilt †bh
>>1311118a gust swept in and blew it in my face. no i never had a hammock, but nice hammock. wait i might have a long time ago.
>>1314411Seems like a bulky version of a Luci light. Check them out when you're ready to upgrade, they are very nice... I use them in all my setups. The one in the picture is the Luci Candle I think, it's got that orange, candle light hue to it and there's a cute setting that has it flicker like one too. They've got all sorts, my favorite is the Lux.>>1314423Sounds silly. It could work in theory but you're going to have to put in a ton of work to make sure you're both not compressing the down AND having the bag right up against you. Summer time is the best time to test these sorta things out though, worst that could happen is you have a chilly night.
>>1312952>2T's Hammock Chairthat'd be perfect thanks! I'm from Europe though, so shipping would get quite expensive, but I'll try to find something similar!
Need help identifying if alive or dead just came across these cleaning out a house
>>1314066Well that's good. There aren't any hallucinogenic succulents, so I'm sure it's fine.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychoactive_cactus
Do peyote
not loooking to get high .... want to know if these will grow for decoration and not bringing home dead plants or mold idk
>>1314076yeah and none of them pictured resemble anything illegal/hallucinogenic. everything in the picture looks store bought or found (the moss) stop trying so hard.
>>1314089almost all of the succulents look fine , the moss will bounce back. worst thing is that you end up with some dead plants which you might anyway even if they are alive right now
I know I’m a wimp but it seems like I never sleep well in a tent and by morning I’m pretty much ready to go home and sleep. I go day hiking and kayaking and encounter (black) bears and it’s all good but when it comes to sleeping I have a problem. I’ve only been using a cheap 1/2” foam sleep pad. Would something like the thermarest one help? What’s your secret to sleeping well in a tent
Well you could try and walk/work enough to be tired...If I just go out for a night or two nearby I might bring earplugs and have a cloth (t-shirt etc) over my eyes to sleep.
>>1310280stop camping with other people.Other people being around really throws off my entire camping experience and ruins everything.
Im like you, at first I couldnt sleep well, but I "replicate" de outdoors sleeping in my house, so i Know what i was getting wrong, first of all, I needed a pillow, so I purchase a inflable pillow, next I figured I usually sleep naked, but I cant sleep naked while out, so, i just take my underwear out while im sleeping out, now I sleep like a baby
I bought a no-tool quick inflatable mattress. It made sleeping 100% better, pads are awful and take up more room than the mattress I bought.
>>1310280>I’ve only been using a cheap 1/2” foam sleep pad.Get a nice inflatable one and a pillow.
I have a hammy down food dehydrator I got from my aunt this week.I am going to dry all the food I need for my summers /out/ activities.Boneless Chuck steaks are on sale for 2.99 per pound. Will this make good jerky?Also please share any and all tips for this unit.
Is it a good idea to make jerky with smoker and dehydrator?I only have acess to mesquite good, and it leaves such strong smoke flavor after 12 hours smoking the meat. So i was thinking to smoke the meat like 4-5 hours and then put it in a dehydrator
>>1313640It'll work. I'd probably smoke it last. But either way it'd work.
>>1313619yeah the fatty stuff is great. when the jerky is done I take the fatty ones and eat them straight away because they are a bit like warm soft beacon.>>1313597i agree with>>1313623 candle smoke is no good, many cheap candles are inpure and use petroleum products like paraffin. they also burn very incomplete and produce a lot of soots. better to use normal smoker methods
>>1311061>>1313597>>1313616>>1313619Pemmican is like 45% fat. That shit lasts forever
>>1313903well yeah, many parts of food don't spoil if at high concentration. but they will spoil when low or mixed. High sugar. alcohol, fat, acid, salt, spices, oils they all can be used to preserve stuff.just wine its will grow yeast while below ~12% but once above it will stop.so the conclusion that if pemmican might last, so will the lower fat of jerky will too is wrong. also, pemmican is traditionally stored sealed. because otherwise its hard to avoid the same problem of Rancidity, that is the complete or incomplete oxidation or hydrolysis of fats and oils when exposed to air, light, moisture or by bacterial action, resulting in unpleasant taste and odour.still great stuff though
Been practicing

>>1304727Bretty gud, now puts a condom overs it and sits on it for bestest results.

How do you pack your cloths? I just use the laundry burrito method.
>>1308644>tfw nudistHave fun with your heavy pack
>2016+2>Not ysing the outfit omelette
Just sorta stick em the fuck in there. For hiking in non-winter weather I take (including worn) 2 pairs underwear, 2 t shirts, 2 pairs socks, 1 pair pants, 1 wool shirt, 1 pair boots/sneakers, 1 rain jacket.
>>1313991Have fun with the insects
>>1308655>wearing underwear
I'm a registered forestry technician in CanadaAMA
>>1311207It pays less. But what are your expenses going to be while working?
>>1312128I tell them I count trees.What country are you in?
>>1307451In reality we had no choice but to settle thick along our border with you so that you couldn't keep pulling the same Israeli-tier bullshit you did in Texas, California, Oregon and Maine.

any skydivers amongst us?made a new compilation vid of some of my latestalso - airsports generalhttps://youtu.be/MQSyRqZKQhs
Only done a tandem, but I want to do the AFF so that's my goal for next year.
>>1314065Tried it for a while, it gets old fast (who the fuck cares about doing figures in the air) and people in my club were obnoxious.
I'm in a bit of a downer period at the moment, and thinking up ways of existing away from everything and everyone is how I'm coping. I, theoretically, have years to learn how to camp, hunt, the ins and outs of safe travel, and all that good stuff. Hell, I'm not even thinking of ending up homeless, as buying a patch of land miles from anywhere (maybe with a well) and sticking a tent down before building a hut is a possibilty. My biggest concern is rest. Every time I've ever been camping i've been uncomfortable as hell. Now, it was most likely inexperiance and youth, my standards for comfort have lowered in recent decades (I spent over a year living on a half-worn-through futon on a hardstone floor years back), but the one thing I really appreciate in life is climbing into warm sheets on a soft surface and going to sleep. Can we have a thread exploring the ins and outs of sleeping/resting gear, maintaining it, keeping it dry/drying it out and the frequency of doing so, ect? How different weather has an effect (Northern Scotland is my ideal, as there is fuckign no-one in sections of it, but tis rainy, damp as fuck, and cold much of the year)?
>>1313228Rented by the parent I care for, with no rights to keep doing so after/if she passes. I would be out the door within two weeks. Thankfully I have family and friends I can bunk with in the short term while I pick and buy the land. Having looked into tents and how damp they can get inside, and spent the night reading most of /out/, making drying them in winter a problem, I'd most likely actually build a big ass shed with a concrete base instead of a hut, insulate the walls, and call it a day. That way I can have an actual bed and fasten up a battery to an inverter for a heater and to charge my phone/tab.
>>1313347Why charge a phone in a place w/o cell service or WiFi?
>>1313439In theory most places do have some signal. Then again, maybe Scotland/Ireland have more black spots than I'm used to. But if you can get a signal at the least you can have a contract with data. Plus, kindle, music, ect.
>>1313466I don’t think you’ve been out remotely, I go an hour east from a major city, and the mountains have no coverage. The deserts have massive dead spots, the real word has more dead spots than coverage areas despite what cell providers commercials would have you believe
>>1314186I think we might be talking about different countries with vastly different distances between locations. For a start of I would need to travel probably a thousand or more miles to reach anything resembling a desert or a mountain. I'm in the UK, and in Scotland you can pretty much 'camp' where or whenever you want, as long as you want, as long as you don't do something retarded like camp on a village green. A lot of the land in Scotland and Ireland is extremely cheap because it's a decent drive from anything resembling a supermarket/big store, usually has no power lines for miles, no sewage or water pipes. Literally a chunk of land, a run down/ruined cottage that hasn't been changed since it was built in the ~1800s, and hopefully (it will be a requirment for me) a well for water.However, most of the UK, Scotland, or Ireland has mobile phone coverage, due to tower placement. It would be something I'd look into, as the internet is one thing I really want to have access to, even if I can't get tv or a phone landline. If I have to I'll compromise what I buy to make sure I'm in the vicinity of a tower.Plus, this is plans for the future, hopefully a decade or more away. I'm hoping there will be at least some improvements in a lot of these things before then.
Now this is camping.
>>1309546Those are always appealing to me.
>>1314147Theres not a legend for that that says anywhere dark doesnt allow. I was clicking around and thought that but wasnt sure. Guess ill go to nebraska or something

want to purchase a good value carbon blade for bushcraft, should i get something else than this knife?
>>1307401That would not be possible, considering the stainless not only has half the carbon content, but much of it is bound with the chromium.
>>1311387Not him, but have done the same. The german army victorinox knife has a high-quality saw on it that can take up to 4 inches of greeen wood. If you saw from both ends, that's enough for taking down a 9 inch tree. It's a great backup if you need to take down a tree that has to much deadwood in it to use the hatchet and you don't want to wlak back to camp to get a proper saw.
>>1307184finally decided to buy a fallkniven f1
>>1312113>stainless not only has half the carbon content, but much of it is bound with the chromiumdude>Carbon steel and stainless steel have the same basic ingredients of iron and carbon. Their main difference is alloy content—carbon steel has under 10.5 percent alloy content, while stainless steel must contain 10.5 percent chromium or more. That essential difference is what gives carbon steel and stainless steel their distinct physical characteristics.carbon content is roughly the same between steels stainless steels go up to 1.2% easily while high carbon steels start at 0.3%.you would be closest to the truth in that stainless generally have a higher chromium content.
>>1312373Have fun when its VG10(which is a great kitchen knife steel) chips. All the low end VG10 falknivens chip, because VG10 was designed to cut fish, in sushi kitchens.Also that knife isnt carbon steel.
