I think it's fun to question whether this criminal mastermind ever had a wife at all. With all due respect.
>>2721933He is actually a wanted criminal though. Open container laws in Ontario and much of Canada expressly prohibit the carrying and consumption of "Step Two's" in public and unlicensed premises. Every Step Two he drinks on camera, in PUBLIC, is a fineable offence. And public intoxication may result in jail time and upto $5000 CAD in fines.Don't be a goof, eh. Camp at your home
>>2712977>>2713339I mean I get the twisted humor of it all, but the REAL villain is that J.F. Quebeqois weirdo who coldly abandoned his potato to freeze to death then get eaten up by wild animals. I believe they still don't have a body so the case is cold but I hope he gets what's coming to him.
>>2712959Only DUBS can stop him
Hello, I am looking to buy a bivy that I could sleep in and not worry about rain also one that I could get past airport security. I found pic related but that will likely not keep me dry, what worked for you?
>>2716651poncho. get a big full length one and practice setting it up with some cordage. I found one in a surplus store that has nylon tarp rivets in it and rolls up into itself no metal about 4 inches by 6 inches.
>>2717081you take a queen sized wool blanket, fold it in half, put it on top of a tarp, fold the tarp around the blanket and roll it up, cinch it up on the ends with some cordage and lash it to pack, motorcycle, the dog or the wife. any pack animal will do.
>>2717099I slept in a mummy bag for the first time in years and it was cold af out. woke up both my arms were asleep and I couldn't get out. alone. had to pee. finally after squirming around for 5 minutes getting some circulation going I got to the pins and needls phase, and I wish someone had been there to film it what a nightmare. finally got out just in time to not pee myself.
>>2717308you can check a firearm.
>>2716651i like the geertop ultralight, it was comfy
are there any places in europe where i can legally dig for fossils?
>>2723997Møns klint, still tons of ammonites, not gonna find the next T-Rex but still fun
>>2723836>legally>>2723996yup i'm Italian and know best the geology of the Po Basin
The key word here is dig.In places that >>2723996 mentioned, it’s legal to collect from the surface, but not actually dig, or chisel.
>>2723836Sure, plenty! You just need a degree, a license and a permit to do archeological studies in that particular place. Nobody wants a filthy hobbyist to damage anything actually valuable, that belongs in a museum - we don't cotton to amateurs around these parts.
>>2723836you can legally dig anything you want on your own property anon.well, the top 2cm of your property and anything of value must be surrendered to the authorities promptly
what is the point of these things? literally the worst of both worlds. I'd much rather be in the actual woods in my tent or be in actual suburbia in my comfy home. not an awful mishmash of the two. t. begrudging camper owner due to wife
>>2719604>what is the point of these thingsIt's not camping. It's a cottage. But one you can move around if you want to or have to.
>>2723989>>2723990>hurr durr they're the same, lookI was unaware that people got killed, skinned and eaten during medieval LARP gatherings. You'd think they'd be more popular.
>>2723703I highly doubt youre a land owner if you dont know what damage can be done by tourists in vans driving on it
>>2723762>if only he worked overtime instead of hunting and spending money on gear>that money could have gone to feed his family instead>why isnt he just miserable indoors, like me?You're on the wrong board, bubba.
>>2720290brudi, ich hab innerhalb des ruhrgebietes wildgecampt. das ist alles easy machbar. Sei einfach keine muschi.
What's up with Krauts, specially boomers, and their kitted out rigs?I'm in southern Europe and every time I go to the beach, no matter the time of the year, there's always many, many hundred thousand €€€ traveling/camping rigs there and 90% of the time they have German plates.As I post this there are a couple 100K vans, mercs sprinters I think, fully prepared for world travel and parked on a gravel road right up to the beach.
>>2720205>only americanslol so naive. overlanding is an european/colonist invention.there is direct land access to the entire european, asian and african continents from here and its been explored by cars since, well, the invention of the car. didnt really kick off until after ww2 and 70s was when it really started to be a thing.most of theese are doers, not posers, so they dont really post much online except from a few forums, and a whole lot of it is in their native language so it might not ever come up on your suggestions. germany, france, nordic, dutch, spain, italy, all of these basicly have their own section of internet that you barely see while they see all of yours.i might only be a norwegian but i have friends who have driven far into africa and asia, and i seen plates here from the same places. also the occational usa or canadian plates.
>>2722867>Being this much of a clueless flyover Do you have any idea on how much money boomers are sitting on right now?
>>2723691>only boomersyou would be suprised how many middle aged, even mid-late 20s can afford such here today.
>>2718760yesterday i saw one with a french plate, new one to me.
>>2723950Imo the French are better tourists, though in here it's mostly germ trash hogs. I loathe them.
>>2716283We didn't really have option.

Mount Mitchell in NC
I don't know about my city and I want to find good wild places to camp in, how do I find them? I don't want to go in places where many people go, I would love to have spaces for myself and my frens
>>2723892Don’t you guys have giant snakes that eat smol children and cattle?
>>2723905very very rare animal that is way to slow and not agressive, hardly ever someone will get caught by one of them, I would say it is nearly impossible it is easier to get a spider bite from a wolf spider or a brown spider but they're also not that common for you to get caught by one we have some giant spiders as well but they're not agressive towards humans and they stay in their webs so it is fine
>>2723892Holy crap. Brazil? How are the camping trails around you? Do you see a lot of wildlife?
>>2723914Not at all, this only happens some times of the year naturaly or near by some mining site as an "accident" because there is just to much beurocracy here and legislation is a complete nightmare when it comes to enviromentalism About the camping trails I don't know, I've only camped in two places so far, it was great and all but I wish to know more underground places to camp and get further from civilization a 2hour walk was the furthest I went to camp I don't live in the amazon so it is diferent, here I live in the "mata atlantica" it is amazon softcore
>>2723915If it’s public land, and you are comfortable doing this, you can just walk off trail.It’s slightly slower, and significantly more dangerous to go far (> 1 km) off trail, but you can just make your own route wherever you want.If some random valley looks cool and you want to walk down there and check it out and maybe camp there, then just walk down there and seeBring maps or download the full offline map on your phone. Read up on “Orienteering”, map reading and using a compass
now that the dust has settled, what EXACTLY did he do that was so wrong?
>>2722827>Only the politest of herbs as I don't feel this post helps the conversation along.You can't announce a sage, famalam
>>2722470>>2722900Wait I never heard about this part of the story. How does he factor in?
>>2722233He left too little margin for error. He was alone, he didn't have any plans to check in with anyone, he didn't know the area well enough, he didn't ford the river, he didn't preserve the meat successfully, he relied on food that was unproven in those conditions. There are more, and correcting any one of them might have changed the outcome. That said I still envy him.
>>2723853You can if you obfuscate it behind flowery language like I'm doing now. I hope you respected it by applying a sage of your own!
>>2723885>muh magic downdootlol
Can anyone suggest protection for someone is unable to have a firearm for protection for the subjects listed? I am considering a Byrna pepperball pistol. Would that be an improper choice? I already have bear spray and a horn. Would a Byrne be the icing on the cake more effective of both? ?https://byrna.com/products/le-kitAnd if not, are there any better alternatives?
>>2710521as someone who has shot many 12g powered paintball pistols..... counting on one in a life or death situation? lol nocap and ball revolver out of the question? Not legally guns.Bearspray before this byrna thing
>>2722358>unironically uses the word chimchim >calls other people a retard
>>2717549>thinking you'd have time to reload and aim a fucking musket while a bear is charging at youAt that point you're better off putting the musket in your mouth and blowing your own head off. At least then your death will be painless.
>>2722640kek, calm down chimchim.
>>2710578kek at the jannies removing posts all over the board and then letting blatantly illegal posts slide
Any of you guys like kites? Started with a $20 dragon kite from costco, had a lot of fun and then went to REI and bought a Prism Zenith 5 for like $50 and I've really been enjoying it. I bought the Synapse 140 from the same brand, a dual-line parafoil, but that has been giving me a bit of trouble and I've only gotten it in the air a couple times; I'll likely need to wait for a better wind day to get a hang of that one. Also any kite recommendations or tips? What brands should I look at?
>>2723757>I just ordered a Zenith myselfHope you enjoy it anon! It's been an absolute joy every time I've gotten out with it. It's a kite that really just wants to fly, lots and lots of fun. Going to head to a different beach tonight and try to fly, and we're going to try and buy their Jazz 2.0 on the way. Hoping the wind will be steady enough to get it or the synapse 140 in the air and see if we can get a hang of the dual line stuff.
One time I saw some guys at the park with a kite that was big enough to pick up the guy flying it just off the ground and make him "fly" like 10-15m at a time. What would he have been using? Was it probably just a sail kite meant to be used with a board on water, or is land sail kiting like that a real thing?
>>2723839Power kite of some kind I'd guess. Something like thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MucH-Twnychttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlwH8NldMw8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeztcqfpKogSimilar but different to what you'd see for kitesurfing. you can use these things to pull you on buggys and shit
>>2723839If you're talking about wing thingies rather than the more common power kite as per >>2723886there are a few different kinds. the kind with rigid struts has been around for quite a while and was/is most commonly used with ice skates.
>>2723917>>2723839starting around 2019 there have been inflatable strut and hybrid designs that are used for hydrofoil surfing and other boardsports. they are pretty cool because more beginner friendly than huge power kites and windsurfing sails, and more suitable for surfing ocean waves; at any time you can simply let go with one hand and the wing will hover in ground-effect.you can't really just "fly" along the ground, but you can catch a little bit of air with a good running start or a slope-soaring situation.
I don't know why I never thought about it but "rugged smartphones" are objectively better than a conventional smartphone, it's more or less what you expect from a smartphone at the end of the day. An intelligent machine that helps you overcome most situations, instead of simply having the glass broken due to falling out of the pants of a 6' tall person. I'm just preparing myself for what's coming, and I don't feel safe having a Samsung or Apple phone. A 400 euro/dollar "rugged" smartphone can hold battery for up to 1 week or more with little use in cases of emergency. Times are a bit complicated and difficult, so I appeal to you to start thinking about what you do in cases of emergency. The smartphone is the most important "item" that the average person brings and with some type of distraction is only capable of getting damaged, falling into mud, water, getting broken, etc.What do you think of "rugged" smartphones and if you happen to have any. do you recommend them?
>>2721742Still seething about GPSs eh?
>>2716018>cErTiFiEd PrOtEcTiOnkek
>>2716003Gay
I don't larp pretending I magically woke up hundreds of miles from civilization with the bare essentials in my head so a normal smartphone with a case is fine for me.
>>2716003https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CG7hNEsMUMI used to own a "Kingkong" phone.Promo was a dude smashing walnuts and throwing it down the stairs, absolutely sold me.Worked well enough as a phone, went through quite a bit of abuse with nary a scratch.It died eventually, and the new "Kingkong" phones were just generic slates using the name with none of the protection the og was sold on.
I got bit by a fucking tick in april.

>>2718619>expecting to get into a gunfight>limiting your firepower and ammunition for internet pointsHardcore.
>>2723627It's not disrespectful to walk about in nature.
>>2718612Respect it. Some land owner withdrew his easement on a very small section of a trail I'm through-hiking in the next few weeks and the only detour is a 14 MILE rural road walk. That shit is just too annoying to risk putting other people through. I'd risk trespassing through but it's a small and exposed enough section that it would be super easy to catch me in the act.

Planning on a backpacking trip with friends next month for a total of 5 days. We will be on an island with no amenities and we are only allowed a backpack on the ferry ride (aka no coolers, rollers etc). I have never done backpacking before only car camping. Food is the most concerning thing to me, I have a limited diet so I cannot eat fruits, nuts/seeds, most vegetables, and anything with high fiber. Which leaves me very little options.should I just be packing a dozen freeze-dried meals? I will be with a group of 8 people but they are not likely to share food, only supplies
Just-add-water pasta meals sound like they'll help. There are backpacking meal providers superior to Mountain House. MH constipates me.Can you eat oats? If so, buy them and apportion a half cup to one cup in freezer bags together with a spoonful of dried milk (Judee's is a good brand), sugar and flavorants like cinnamon. That's breakfast.You won't cook for lunch. Buy or make wheat tortillas and bring a jar of nut butter or a brick of cheese.
>>2720270>I cannot eat fruits, nuts/seeds, most vegetables, and anything with high fiberwhat the fuck do you have bruh
>>2723775crohns, i had my large intestine removed and have a poop bag on my stomach
>>2722897I share this guy's problem with Mountain House. They back me up horribly until they don't, then I have 3-5 minutes to dig a hole and drop my pants before it all exits my system as a stream of liquid shit. This once hit me when I was hiking up a mountain and two miles from the nearest dirt. Make sure you test any freeze dried meal before you commit to it in the backcountry. You can also prepare your own dried meals using ingredients that can be readily bought from Amazon or grocery stores. This might be more expensive than the brand name stuff unless you get into backpacking (my first batch buy for multiple portions of three recipes ended up being around $100 bucks all in). Self-made meals also tend to be more calorie dense and have more macros for less sodium in my experience, all while being less bulky if you keep them in sandwich baggies and boil them in your pot. Andrew Skurka's website is an amazing resource for this.
>>2720270Cans of tuna, rice, pasta, protein bars, and bring a couple bags of gummy worms or the like - you'll be craving those after a day or two
