>>2837828>he didn't get a folding scythedo you even reap what you sow bro?
>>2837923I have the Tiki version.Between that, my k55k, and my jap knockoff of the douk douk (hirogakami or whatever they're called) I'm set for any pocket knife related emergency. I like my Tiki. Great for slicing sausage on the trail.
No skeletool KB/KBx gigachads?Opinels are gay as fuck.
>>2861807I have a skeletool, and the blade material is soft as fuck. I used it to cut some nylon webbing once and was so disappointed I threw it into a drawer.Dunno, maybe I got a bad one.My favorite folding knife is the lionsteel skinny.Tied with the mini adamas, but benchmade is so fucking overpriced I can't recommend it to anybody.
for me its old bear
Due to being a dwarf (5’8), my proximity to a major river known for having gold and spots to look for it, and the current gold prices I have decided to dwarfmax. Anyone here ever panned for gold? I’m not thinking of getting much to start for supplies just a mesh sifter a shovel and a pan. Anyone who pans for gold around here have any input for supplies or tricks?>don’t quit your dayjobI’m not
>finds $2 of gold flecks>GIGGLESQUEE I MADE IT>realizes some jeet will pay him pennies on the dollar for itcool have fun
>>2860725>Mucking about in the dirt for goldGoblin coded. It's only dwarf-worthy if you're digging into rock or at least earth.
>>2861766more like>find $2 of gold flecks.>don't own mineral rights for the property.>government seizes it when you try to sell it.
>>2861713I've got a Minelab SDC2300. Folds up to fit in a backpack, waterproof and piss easy to use. It's sensitive enough to pick up gold as small as half a rice grain but doesn't give false signals on anything except rocks that are almost pure iron. Only downsides are that it's not real ergonomic and there's no iron discrimination. Couple of mates have gold monster 1000s and they squawk and give off signals on every mineralized rock, especially when it's wet. They are great for finding the tiniest little flakes of gold in shallow, unmineralized soil but the amount of noise that they make kinda ruins the serenity for me.
>>2861804I've seen that one a lot on YouTube too. Unfortunately, it's a couple thousand dollars out of my price range.
Post your favorite /out/ patches. Also, how do you display any patches you don't have on a pack? I tried doing a board but I think I need more patches because it feels empty.
>>2856971torn between but what ends when the symbols shatter and operation hummingbird, what's yours?
>>2857797I often forget these things baked into my mind are first drawn by people not realizing how big there going to end up being, thank you for river shitter. I think of it randomly every once in awhile while at work or something and laugh.
>>2849939Did you take a COVID shot?
>>2849939If I'm committed to a patch, the first thing I do is remove the velcro/iron-on backing and rip out the interfacing fabric, always makes for a very supple and flexible patch that hugs tight to the fabric when you sew it on. It's like how the Bundeswehr does their flag patches thin and sewn compared to most other countries.
>>2861773heh you are most welcome. it;s funny how these things catch on. I think the accidental magic in it is the wetness, fluff, and mass of the shits. I don't know how I managed to get them just right but in retrospect they're captivating
Hello /out/ it's me again. Maybe it is time for another abandoned mine exploration thread. I have posted these for over a decade; this will be the last one. AMA. I'll answer what I can. I hope you enjoy.
how else would I get pics of underground workings?

What does your backpacking kit look like & what are your favorite pieces of gear you have that are unusual or greatly increased your quality of life on the trail? This is my basic kit alot of the gear is 10 years old or more I have recently added a camp chair & a little bidet that goes on a water bottle. My favorite piece of gear is not pictures but it is a frybake pan which is basically a lightweight dutch oven I will be using it on my trip at the end of this month to roast a chicken & make stuffing.
>>2858015This is probably my single favorite piece of gear. Weighs almost nothing, takes up slightly more space than a pen, but it can turn a shitty night with damp wood and no/crappy fire into a comfortable time with your friends. It expands to about 24 inches, and it lets you blow pinstream air directly where you need it, even into the direct center of a fire, while being completely safe from heat and smoke. Damp wood? Fuck that, just light your kindling and force air over that bastard until the water boils off and the wood combusts. Then just keep blowing and you have a white-hot coalbase that instantly dries damp wood.
>titaniuim rice cooker>lifestraw>flextail pump
>>2859790Add a folding saw and a trowel to that.
you got windposted!
Do you wear a helmet when you are riding your bike? why or why not? i used to be heavy into road biking and going FAST in traffic to show off and get my adrenaline going so i always wore a helmet otherwise i felt extremely exposed, but now that im older i prefer to just cruise on the bike paths and take in the scenery and smell the fresh air, so i stopped wearing a helmet and just let the wind blow through my hair
what is it about americans and their borderline religious opposition to safety gears? i remember them being like this with car seatbelts too
Nope. It's one of the reasons that I decided not to get a motorcycle. Just wanna ride around and feel the wind in my hair. Helmets and pads are uncomfortable/sweaty and shit gets hot here
I wear a helmet 75% of the time, but it sucks there are so many dorks in the biking community.I remember a couple years ago I was just cruising an easy MTB trail at a slow pace stoned without a helmet and some fags made shitty comments and put me down while passing me
>>2861639>>2861639>while passing youDon't worry about what cowards too scared to actually confront you give a shit about. The equivalent to yelling 'get a job' at a homeless person while you're driving past them on your way to your wage slave job.
>>2860627I haven't hit my head yet :^)
africa is the most slept on /out/ing place. south africa is noob-tier, but also immensely beautiful.ethiopia is criminally underrated. it is an absolutely stunning country with one of the richest histories in the world.
>>2861782Africa isn't slept on. I think everyone agrees it has beautiful /out/. The problem is the people who occupy these places. I've seen trip reports from cool places there, but they all require hiring guides who travel with you carrying AK-47s.
>>2861782No it's not, you're just a fucking retard.

German anon here. Tomorrow, I will be heading to Decathlon to buy some hiking gear. I have never properly gone hiking before - at most, I have gone on 3-4 hour walks on forest trails. I will mainly be hiking in spring and autumn, and occasionally in summer, depending on the weather. Terrain wise, I will be mainly hiking in rather hilly areas with a few hundred meters of elevation, and more flat areas from time to time. I would also love to camp for a night or two while I'm at it, but if that's too much (budget wise), we can just stick with hiking gear for now.
lol nojust get cheap stuff, figure out what you want to invest more of your money into. Get a decent backpack 20-30l (osprey is great) and a decent pair of boots (Salomon, Merrel) and spend whatever is left on what's cheapest.
Check out this guy's channel. He had a couple of good videos about exactly that, including Decathlon gear.Obviously you can omit the camping equipment if you don't plan overnighters.https://youtu.be/j7OFiAtMfdQ?si=hPQSUhlK5NkG-qW5

How does this happen?Femanoid gets into an argument with a friend at a bar and storms out into a snowstorm with no coat or phone and dies. https://www.kake.com/home/missing-emporia-teacher-found-deceased-police-say/article_edb44dbf-62b6-4fc5-85f2-eed5fb1c62c2.htmlHow would you have survived /out/?

>>2859508KC fag reporting in. The prosecutor for that case is actually a client of mine. The dudes were doing poppers and passed out. The dude that lived had no idea they were back there because he passed out first.

Any of you guys know where I can get a modern crye-style combat shirt in Erbsenmuster? Or Eichenlaubmuster.As a lesser consolation a modern jacket or parka would also be acceptable.
>>2861750I bought it because I like the pattern, not for functionality. Here in northern AZ there is tons of granite, oak and ponderosa which make it a good pick for a regional camo. Obviously modern camo will out perform this. This pic is that same area as the camo on the granite picture.
>>2860965But would you say the same if it was full of z-tards?Don't get me wrong, it's full of NAFO retards and I agree with that (I'm as pro-Ukraine as it gets but still get called Vatnik by these morons). But most people complaining about it are just assmad that they can't relentlessly shill for the Russians in the same way.Tbf /k/ has been dead for years anyway, 2016 brought in an influx of idiots who know nothing about weapons but want to live out their LARP fantasies.>>2858452Suggesting Roman Kurmaz like everyone else in this thread.

Was he retarded? or free?
>>2836984i don't see any seething, just calling him the retard that he is
>>2836984>50 years ago?he died in 92
>>2860921zoomies can't comprehend time before they existed, 1998 and the big bang, and everything in between is a single moment to them.
A bit late to the party, but most /out/ fags think he's retarded because they think they would do better than him without realizing how much they see themselves in his story. His death was truly pitiful due to how much of it was preventable/avoidable. At the end of the day he lived out the last half of his life in a hedonistic adventure. He was both retarded and free, which is what /out/ wants for themselves.
>>2830740The mountains are not softened nor troubled, and a few dead men's thoughts have the same temper. Chris lived and died for himself and himself alone. Retarded, yes, but free
>RINJANI MOUNTAIN AREA, WEST NUSA TENGGARA, INDONESIA – JUNE, 2025 Hiking trip ended tragically for 26-year-old Brazilian tourist Juliana Marins. On June 21, she set out on the “Cemara Tunggal” trail with five other people. Likely due to fatigue and the slippery terrain, she lost her balance and fell approximately 500–650 feet (150–200 meters) down a steep, rocky slope. She survived the fall but landed in an area her companions couldn’t reach. They had to contact the national park authorities to launch a rescue operation.Rescue efforts began immediately after the alert, but the search was hampered by poor weather conditions, thick fog, and extremely rugged terrain. She was eventually found on June 24 at the bottom of a ravine, another 1,600 feet (500 meters) below. Sadly, nature was unforgiving – she was found dead. It’s believed she tried to find help on her own after waiting for some time but fell from another slope, this time fatally.
>>2861070>you literally can't beat that.).yes i can, i am literally posting this message while free solo-ing up the north face of the rheasilvia crater central peak on the asteroid vesta whos height of 22km edges out your pitiful mount olympus's 21.9km.

>>2858653Shes wearing sneakers and jeans!>Likely due to fatigue and the slippery terrain, she lost her balance and fell No she was most likely trying to take a selfie with the mountain view in the background like a retarded roastie.
Me and my friend thought its funny to paint fresh panties and hook it on a fence in a corner barley any one goes to
>>2860631This seems like a good way to get stabbed.
>>2860664i've heard old hunters used to tie used bloody tampons to trees and shit, something about the smell and the pheromones are supposed to attract deer.
I bought a used backpack and inside I found girls panties and a piece of rope.
>>2861415one day we caught 8 ball raul twice
>>2860600My friends and I would "liberate" shopping carts by sending them back into the woods that surrounded the grocery store. You'd run full tilt with the cart and launch it as far as you could, as deep as you couldidk why but it felt good, not rebellious or stupid or anything, genuinely freeing
How do you go about cooking /out/? What's the minimal gear needed to cook something you can call complex? What's the most complex dish you've prepared?
>>2860694Air dry, but I also live in god's country with little humidity. I also bring a general purpose rag.>>2860737I make other /out/ meals with couscous, like one with sausage and green beans and tomatoes, but for that dish I much prefer orzo.
>>2860525somebody needs to photoshop this with fast food or gamerslop junk food.
i always like to make curry rice using canned corned beef as my protein desu. and i mainly use my gsi pot and stove to cook but at campsites i can just cook over the fire. it's real comfy.
>>2860525>What's the minimal gear needed to cook something you can call complex?a pot and a frying pan. I used to use take the full Trangia 27 kit on trips all the time. >What's the most complex dish you've prepared?I can cook anything part from baked goods. having 2 pots or a frypan and pot is good as you can cook a side dish and a main, and not some one pot slopa.

I've just made my first winter summit. In fact it was only a bit over 300 m above see level but I think we all know that hills with unstable steep slopes are scarier than 1000 m mountains with nice trails
>>2861734Good stuff. Best time of year for puttering about in the hills and woods imo
