I always see talk of "bear defense" guns being these giant revolvers. What a load of crap. My G19 is the best bear defense gun in the world. 9mm can easily penetrate the skull and vitals of almost any animal in the world, especially with flat nosed bullets to resist deflection. 15-33 rounds of 9mm from a gun you've trained with regularly for years directed at the head/neck area of a large animal with both speed and precision beats the Hell out of 6 44 magnums you can't even afford to shoot splattered randomly over the animal's silhouette from a gun with a shitty DA revolver trigger that's impossible to reload under stress and gives you a perforated eardrum with every shot. Then you also have mountain lions, which are very fast but not that hard to put down, and in some areas wolves which travel in packs and are also hard targets for these stupid bear revolvers. Glock wins. There's no conceivable situation in which a big revolver gives me any advantage over any animal compared to the G19 that I always carry. Worst case scenario is I just carry Buffalo Bore or Underwood +p+ ammo with cast bullets, or M1152.
>>2801777You're in grizzly and Kodiak territory so definitely get a heftier round. Also be sure to look at ballistic performance for different barrel lengths since that will impact overall muzzle energy
>>2801199My pistol gets almost as much muzzle energy as a 30-06 rifle and we barely even see black bears here.
>>2800862Just shut up faggot.
.22 short Derringer is the best.shoot your friend in the knee and run away.
>>280177710mm. All the fellas will laugh at you if you show up with 9mm.
I found some sky paws on a mountain road. Seems there is a skying type i wasn't aware of. Do you practice it? Is it common? Do you need a prepared trail for it or you go on wild snow?
What is i diy my old skies and boots with some nails or metal wire?
>>2798983>>2798993Also why are you there during night?Let me guess, due to higher animal activity in nightime you want to observe them? I do it to sometime but i use a 4x4 car.
>>2800857In Norway everywhere, basically, is public. Having a right to roam is a right every (white)human should have. There are a lot of groomed cross country tracks that are open to the public and free to use. If you want to go backcountry skiing, you just go into the backcountry. Simple as that. As long as you're 150m from a building and not on arable land (unless winter), you're gucci.
>>2800896>Why not using normal ski and boots?It can be quite tedious to bring multiple pairs of boots and skis. Although I don't understand your question. What are "normal" skis and boots? >>2800897>What if i diy my old skies and boots with some nails or metal wire?You can't be serious. If the skis have a wood core, you risk water ingress into the ski which results in rot. Also, nails and metal wire are downright dangerous. Imagine tumbling down the mountain with that attached to your skis or feet. If you have to ask that, you shouldn't go where it's that steep. >>2800902>Why are you there during nightBecause when I go to work, it's dark. When I get home, it's dark. On days where I can go skiing while it's light outside, the sun isn't up for long anyway.
>>2801196Is it feasible to learn on your own?
Planning on going backpacking and just making it a lifestyle. I'm 30 and have nothing to show for it. I have no future in society, my family hates me but I have to live in their house, can't find a job, no friends, and I have no interest in living the rest of my life like this. This is no life at all. I want to know everything I need to know and have to start off since this the first time I would do this. I barely have any money but I probably have enough to buy what I need. This is not a vacation though, i'm not going to spend on hotels and restaurants. The idea is to keep moving north and sleeping in a tent.I'm planning to take a bus to get out of the city and then just walk. If I "find" a bike to move faster, i'm taking it. The area i'm going to has a hot climate so no need for winter equipment I would say. If anyone could recommend a book or good yt channel about this it would be appreciated. I still have time to learn all this before I go. I was wondering if to start off it would a good idea to buy a bunch of MRE's? I really don't know how I could acquire food without hunting and I don't have anything to hunt with. Am I naive for thinking I can do this? Is it even possible?
Check out VagrantHoliday on YT. He doesn't make any more videos, but I like to think he's the epitome of frugality. If you do that shit, record it and post it, given you aren't a sperglord."Find" a bike. Just get a bike from Walmart or cover more ground through another medium. I'm guessing you don't have a car? Otherwise you'd sleep in that as you tour the country.If you want to "backpack forever", you'll need a way to sustain yourself, do you think BUYING MRE's is a way to sustain yourself?You are VERY naive for thinking about this without funds. Sounds like a quarter life crisis. You don't have skills, so you resort to the woods. Get a job, get your money up.
Food pantries bro. They're everywhere. Literally free food
>>2802094if you fucked up your life up to this point you will probably fuck up backpacking too and will most likely die by starvation
>>2802191South America?
>>2802094probably should find some sort of seasonal job so you know you'll have at least one way to make money.
That was a very good day...Do you have pics of you and your frens in the woods or outdoors? Or do you like to go to the woods with your frens?I do.>GANR

>>2802154i figured but still rather be a hermit than have brown frens sorry
>>2802155leave my brown frens alone reeeeee
if it's brown, flush it down
I jumpscared some teens in an abandoned compound at night like this.They were inside a room, i was outside. It was very darkThey screamed their lungs and ran so far awayThis is a reenactment of what i did:https://files.catbox.moe/vl5e3i.mov
>>2802175lol you almost got me, i opened it and my browser couldnt play it so i downloaded it while it was downloading i saw your post and then freaked out a bit and then it finished downloading so i figured i would just watch it anywaythen i realised the truth:if you dont reply to this post your mother will die in her sleep tomorrow
>>2802188
>>2802175Oh fuck not again
>>2802162who the fuck posts dolphin pussy on /out/?
>you have to buy trekking poles!>you need something lightweight!>if it's not collapsible it's garbage!counterpoint: just pick up a stick
>>2785161>has a bellI get it but you should live in a place that respects your right to self defense, even from cougars and bears. Get a gun.
>>2785162>he doesnt into geomancy
>>2785161I like your bear bell :)
>>2786319We must go deeper.
It's starting to get cold out, anons. Have any of you had a chance to get your hot tents and stoves out of storage for a cold weather camp yet? I took advantage of some early snow two weeks ago but it is now mostly gone. I was also out for Thanksgiving, it was cold but no snow.
>>2799232It just takes practice and knowing the knots to able to make quick, small adjustments to the guylines. If you can't make the knots or find them annoying to do with gloves/cold hands then get a couple of these that will fit your guyline rope and quit bitchin'.
>>2799250oh that little contraption appears to be just what I need. Thanks anon. I was doing loop aliens before but in blistering cold they are frustrating to work with.
>>2799230>>2799232>>2799250If you pulled tight enough and had good knots would you even need to use the middles? Could you get away with just the corners?
>>2801058Shared foundation load*A single anchor point or foundation is exponentially weaker than one that has multiple anchor points or foundation points.So if a gust of wind would rip up one corner, by sharing the resistance upon the two mid points you have exponentially created more stability.Those midpoints also share their load upon the furtherest corner points.
>>2791470Have same tent, but different stove. The fire died down about 4 hrs or so after I went to bed, so had to get up and restoke the fire. Thank god I got a cold weather bag today.It would have helped if I had turned the damper down low, but what can I say? I was just excited to try it out.Loving it so far. Got down in the upper 20s
These things are exploding in population. Why are they still protected? These are monstrosities early explorers feared more than cannibal natives. We had their populations down for a reason. Why are we welcoming back IRL monsters that literally want to eat us? We shouldn't be doing that until we have some sort of reliable technology where we can implant each one with a paralysis mechanism if it's close to a human and has the urge to attack. Hook up a bear nuerolink or some shit. But letting these things roam free is a hippie delusion. Wtf are we doing?
>>2739602Retard
>>2751808I sure hope so.
>>2739586>Stay in an urban hellhole if you don't like being in the same place as animals that can kill you.those places are full of niggers though
>>2739570YeahThey should spray some pesticide too, the bugs are annoyingAlso asphalt the trail and put some street lights, also put a Walmart and 7/11 somewhere along the way while they’re at it
>>2739570Retard
I want to raise chickens but my neighbour has pitbills that kill everything and I hate dogs I fucking swear.

I recently bought a used picrel and it's full of stickers and paintThe paint I don't mind, especially since it supposedly helps to keep algae away, but there's these unpainted letters (the previous owner probably used duct tape to paint over them) and I want to cover themIs there any product I can use to remove the stickers?And about those unpainted spots, do I just paint over them? What kind of ink do I use?
>>2798041just paint it over ideally with boat paint
wear life jacket

Used to yak all the time about 6 years ago. Bought one for me and the wife. Good times were had. No longer own them and only have a car (without rack) for transport. Really want to get a rugged inflatable tandem yak for fun and camping. Is the Sevylor Colorado 2-Person Inflatable Fishing Kayak model any good?
Is Camping With Steve /ourguy/?
>>2801938he is a serial murderer, how can anyone like him?
Eceleb threads belong on >>>/soc/ or reddit.
>>2802015Do tell
>>2802015that's why he's our guy
Went out to give my chickens some mackarel scraps and saw thisthankfully no chickens were harmed and the game warden took it awayhow can i deter hawks besides a giant net over my free-range area.
>>2800929its a silkie, they arent known for having pretty meat
>>2800930Take the turkey pill my guy.
>>2800930Sorry for your loss and subsequent teriyaki.
>>2800366that's horrible anon I'm sorryI literally cried after my favorite silkie got eaten by a racoon and I only had to see the aftermath. They're always such sweet birds : (
>>2800366RIP
dude
>>2798179>cougars are killing one deer for wolves to eat and then they'll kill another one for themselves to eat. >Also, in unusual fashion, now cougars are hanging out in packs because of the wolves. Holy fuck based alliance
>>2791851I saw an interview with him, he claims he thought the kittens were bobcats and was trying to get a video of them. Still retarded, but...
>>2793121What a retard.
>>2798179Wrong
>>2798578I sure couldn't.
>post pic of recent /out/ing>take turns guessing where anons pictures are from
>>2801908Yeah!
>>2801982And how do they expect to enforce that lmao
>>2802101That is in a far north region. Finland?
>>2802106Well you can easily be spotted once above treeline, I assume they watch for people climbing it and probably just wait for you to come back down to fine you. When I was out there like two weeks ago I ran into two rangers driving the logging logs, one was ticketing a guy for parking in the wrong place. There's not exactly a lot of ways to climb up there unless you take really long routes so they know where you would have to park in winter when most of the roads are closed.
Have you ever taken a gril /out/?
>>2793185Hey man, I just wanted to let you know that last summer 4 sweaty gamers who have literally never camped or hiked once in their lives did that trip with no issues.
>>2801659Banging your students is ethically fucked, dude. You're a groomer.
>>2801847Where do you think you are right now?
>>2780918MGTOW is a joke of a movement Same kind of energy as fat women with colored hair refusing to have sex because Trump won
>>2801847If my wife had still been my student, it would have been fucked for sure. I was her TA. I waited until final grades were posted, then emailed her. We emailed back and forth for a month before swapping numbers and ultimately dating. Students aren't forbidden for the rest of your life, just while you have power over them. No regrets.
