"Oh yeah I love camping and hiking"> what do you mean, taking a backpack with me?> walking more then 1 km? On a trail? Pff too much workNever again, "i like hiking" just means walking on asphalt.

I'm looking for a good all around camp axe for fire wood maybe some tent pegs and also general cutting. Should I better look for a specific brand or anything will do just fine?

Last thread >>2797205>how to get startedPurchase a corn cob pipe (or a cheap briar pipe) and a pouch of Half and Half or Captain Black tobacco from a smoke shop or online. You will need a lighter or match, and something to tamp it with--a large nail works well if you don't have a pipe tool. Fill the pipe with tobacco, pack it down halfway, top it off, pack it down to 3/4, top it off again, pack gently and enjoy. Smoke slower than you think you need to, the tobacco tastes best when it is burning cool. Tamp and re-light as needed. If you still have trouble, try different methods on YouTube until you find one that works for you.>smoking a pipe will give you cancerOriginally the Surgeon General found that pipe and cigar smokers, following a careful study of the statistics (at a time when most adults smoked, so they had a good sample size), had insignificant death rate increases. Nowadays, tobacco is being legislated against while hard drugs are being legalized. Put two and two together. Tobacco is just another good thing under attack by the government.All tobacco users welcome. Stoners will be taken to Singapore and caned.
>>2840447Nah, they also do cherry tree and olive tree woodI still have not bought one of their briars but I am most likely going to purchase a cork or rusticated style briar in a few months
>>2840433>>2840438Well thanks for the suggestions, I did get a MM cob (>>2838314) and was a bit puzzled when the filter thingy part came off and then read a bunch of contradicting info on whether filters are a must or not. I've smoked it 3 times since I got it and clean it thoroughly before and after smoking, so I'm making sure no excess soot or dirt lumps or anything form, but I'm just wondering if the use/lack of use of filters significantly alter the taste or something. Especially since I don't wanna be changing that thing every few smokes.
>>2840663the type of filter you encountered was just a pass-through filter, so no real difference in taste would have been encounteredi like them since they cut down on tongue bite, keep the air passage of the bit dryer, constrain the airflow slightly, and also make the smoke a bit cooler tooi have a tobacco place near me that sells packs of the filters for cheap, so i always keep a supply of them
Now that's a pipe.
do peterson pipes seem to smoke slower to you guys?i just got one today, and this thing just keeps on giving
are rice picker hats unironically the strat for excessively hot and sunny excursions??(I'm white btw)
>>2840304No. Just dress like Lawrence of Arabia.
>>2840304>excessively hot and sunny excursions??>>2840319>Lawrence of Arabia.Good one. Or picrel.
>>2840304That's actually called a coolie hat, but calling a person a coolie is rayciss and people are likely to get confused and get mad about calling the hat by its correct name. They're great hats. The problem is they're a novelty in the US and therefore expensive. They should cost next to nothing.
>>2840712Makes me think there are people out there who wish Splatoon were real so they could have sex with woomiesMeanwhile I wish Splatoon were real so I could have well-made Inkline coolie hatsWe are not the same
>>2840331Dusty had the coolest outfit.
Thoughts on this brand? I'm getting the Recon model as a jack-of-all-trades outdoor knife (I'm forcing a patina on it).https://roganusa.com/
>>2840392are there some styles of wrap that are less prone to coming off vs more prone like the straight wrap in op
>>2840516i thought it was an aesthetic borrowed from traditional things that used twine to wrap around the grabby part but they also sealed the whole thing down
>>2840562Literally cut a block of wood, glue it to thr knife, drill 2-3 holes through the block and tang, beat in some metal dowells, then cut it and belt sand it to match the shape of the tang and your hand. Then oil it. Wah lah
>>2840301so many other companies can give you something of better quality for your money. not a total joke company, but i would turn my nose up.
>>2840376>temper it>without hardening it first
Do /out/ agree ?
>>2840887im a communist myself and i only drink milk or tea
>>2840571>Clean, safe and cheap energyThe horror! How will humanity ever survive such a calamity?>>2840559Depends on the use case, really. Or do you mean price-wise?
>>2840889Exactly.
>>2840930>CleanIts ok if china pollutes it's rivers
>>2840877They recognized they will be a major component of future energy supplySo now they use dumping prices to kill all competitors, then hike up prices and/or force countries (especially third world ones) into political concessions by threat of not delivering any more.
I want to go on a 4-5 day tent hike anywhere in the Alps. I’d like a place that’s not overcrowded and doesn’t require walking under cable cars or crossing busy streets.A day dedicated to a peak with some scrambling or easy climbing would be cool too.I'm not necessarily looking for concrete routes, but more so advice on how to plan a trip like this. I can't find anything that fits my requirements.I live in Switzerland, but ironically it seems like a terrible place for a multi day hike like this.
>>2840271Nah, there wouldn't be any point in going with someone more experienced (again) because it doesn't teach me how to plan the hike.
>>2840195if you are entirely unable to use a car how can you expect to hike somewhere without tons of roads and civilization everywhere. One of your requirements is a train or bus station lmao. Yes using MASS transport it will be hard to get away from the masses
>>2840280In Europe, the public transport network is much more developed than in the US. Just because some regional bus takes you to a place doesn't necessarily mean it's sprawling with tourists.Still, fair point.
>>2840195>it doesn't have a ton of tourists like the mont blanc region. You're not avoiding tourists in the Alps, especially if you go in summer and in a national park>it looks like anything interesting requires a car to reach.Iirc there are bus lines that run in the tourist season for the hikersYou should just call the local tourist office of wherever you wanna go desu, they'll know better than a random anon
>>2840131When i was a teen. With my friend. We just used to say how about we go to that peak and just point at it and do some 2200 meters peak in sneakers by not following the marked trail at climbing and downclimbing. Whe did 2 times of over 20 km trail each, ariving home half dead with bare meat in my shoes and almost tirsty to death.

Zoomed around Boston Harbor for 8 hours yesterday and caught nothing but the pogies I was using for bait. Where the fuck are all the stripers and blues?
>>2840961Im not super familiar with the timing of east coast stripers and bluefish but isnt that still about a month out? Shouldnt you still be looking for flukes? If theyre anywhere id expect them to be well off shore

Exposure therapy? I was so tired by the second night of my hike it didn't matter as much but every little sound freaks me the fuck out. I'm a 28 year old 200 pound man, why does it scare me?
>>2839546>(at least what is known)kekekek
>>2840847>third night is spent awake listening to coyotes and their infernal screamingThis is the best. Little buggers have killed like one person ever but they keep other noises away.

What are some relatively easy 2500-3500 m mountains in Europe?
>>2840183>Where are you from?Poland>you should target mountains between 2000 and 2500 meters.I've already climbed Rysy (2499 m) which is the highest mountain in the country.Here's how it looks like https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dKWr3nDg1Oo&pp=ygUNcnlzeSBtb3VudGFpbg%3D%3D>>2840183>What exactly do you mean by 'easy'?I mean that if it's too steep to casually walk on two feet, there's always something to hold, like the chain on Rysy. My stamina is good but my balance is not so I need a good grip to feel safe.
>>2840036fock off we're full
>>2840211Slovenia has some decently sized mountains on the border to Italy. Be aware though that some of these are properly difficult, even the smaller ones. But in turn you won't have to deal with tourists in running shoes there, either.
>>2840036All mountains are easy in alps. They have well mantained paths. While in East Europe you often miss the track and get lost. I would go to Mountain Olimp in Grece. Has some nice subalpine fauna shape.

Is off-grid living a wealthy person's hobby? I can't live in an off-grid cabin full time because the code doesn't allow that, and I also would need a primary residential address. The only way to make it work off-grid is if you already have a real home.
>>2840774>I set my phone down for the night.Lol.>type out long winded ranting blog post.>come back a half hour later and post a second long winded ranting blog post even though nobody has replied to the first one, or even posted in the thread.Talk about some white knuckle seethe posting.>never refute any of the critiques about your shit setup being shit.What a fucking loser.And whats the point of leaving your thermometer in the sun? Are you that stupid you dont even know how they work?
>>2840682You come across as a complete faggot. The anon you're picking a fight with should run you over with his tractor.
>>2840888
>>2840776that thermometer picture isnt me. I live in the mountains, you are still just a retard on the internet.i'll check in again tomorrow morning to see... what I can inspire in the world.have fun till then, you fuckin retarded faggot
>>2840888I actually bought land, cleared it, built a cabin, installed a well, planted an orchard and can enjoy a hot shower at the end of the day.The other dumbfuck African Zulu tier caveman is larping as a survivalist but cant figure out how to move water.Brazilian favellas have better infrastructure than his home. Just think about that piece of reality for a moment.
