Looking for /out/ book discussion and recs. I just started Sand County Almanac, and recently finished pic related. American books preferred, but everything welcome.

>>2875327Not my problem.
>>2875357maybe I should add I simply use picrel to spray on shoes and jackets and soak my socks, pants and hammock suspension (not the tree straps) in it. Idc. It's a trade off and I choose the cancer and titty growth accelerator over lyme and encephalitis.
Forget about Lyme... worry about Alpha Gal.
No but seriously, why cant i just buy a cabin and live there instead of a normal house?Its cheaper, more private and gives me great opportunity to do outdoor activities. Lots of cabins run on solar and have adequate plumbing, yet the cost remains low. Only thing i could think would be a challenge is winter, but even then i think a 4x4 and backup heating/electricity and lots of firewood. It would also give good homesteading opportunities.
>>2874655I wish I could buy a piece of forest and live there but in my shit country that is illegal. Someone once did it and was raped by subhuman pieces of shit in uniforms (aka STASINAZIS).But I wonder if I could buy or rent some property and live there inofficially while keeping official apartment for my welfare status and legal adress. Would that break any law just as if I was permanently camping somewhere else in the forest? I receive "Grundsicherung nach SGB XII" due to severe disability.
I find myself in a somewhat lucky situation to live in the middle of nowhere but haviung neighbors drives me crazy. Whoever was here before me build two sheds into the forest nearby, these must be older than myself (assuming D-Mark price tags) and likely illegal themselves. But no one ever cared.My long temr goal otherwise is renting a forest house / holiday home for permanent residency but the problem is they usually have no registerable adress. 20-30 m2 would suffice if I had enough land, I intend to build a greenhouse and live in it anyway.
>>2875364>>2875365>perpetual poster from DACH region claiming"It is illegal to go outside. The law states it is not allowed. Thus Ithe law is preventing me from doing so as I am unable to act without permission.">citing largely unrelated caseThat guy was building without a permit on land that wasn't zoned. In a very densely populated country you can't have everyone build wherever they see fit, you'd have nothing of the little 'nature' that is left remain after a few years of this.

>>2875401>everytime I visit /out/ it is crowded with germs seething about how they can not /out/If it makes you feel better, im one of the anons that made it happen.>you might remember me from previous episodes like "I almost died the first winter because my cabin had zero insulation, electricity or heat and it was 17°F">or perhaps the sequel "I"ve been shitting in a 5 gallon bucket for 2 years while I save up enough money for a septic system".
>>2875477I did the 5gal bucket thing for a while, then I just started digging holes at the bases of trees on my property.
why are outdoors youtube vidoes so comfy?
>>2875126wtf
>>2874396They aren't. From what I have seen they promote unrealistic standards and fixate on being outside as a means to its own end. Meaning they entirely focus on living in or around the campsite. Meanwhile actual travels are entirely neglected - understandably because the audience isn't interested in hours of marching. But also because the content creator simply drove a motorvehicle up to the site they want to film at and set up lights and cameras.So essentially: Those guys always present the audience with objects no sane or actually outdoors person would ever dream. of bringing out and they will spend alot of time and energy trying to get as comfortable as possible at a campsite while in reality after a long trip you barely have the energy to pitch for the night and hit the hay before sundown.

I’m looking for a garlic that I can grow in 8b humid sup tropical environments (San Antonio that ideally requires no chill time in freezer if anyone has experience
>>2875463Softnecks are what you want. Look up different varieties and see what looks good to you
>>2875464I’ve tried Italian early ,Texas rose,now I’m gonna try Messidor and ichtium red,I want to know if anyone else had success and what they grew,that Texas rose is apparent descended from thehalletsville garlic ,but because of Jewish globalism it’s not commercial production anymore and propibly lost some of its warm summer adaptability when I tried it,
>>2875464Both the Italian and my rose formed unibulbs this year ,the previous year the rose produced actuall cloves,any other than that I guess it would have to be a breeding program to make garlic work down here,any anons done garlic breeding ?
Crossbows arent archery edition.So we havent really had one of these threads in the fast handful of years. Post bow builds, your plans for hunting this upcoming season, your target species, your arrow build, etc.
>>2874981GA. We're lucky to be able to take 10 does and 2 bucks per season. Hogs have no limit, season, and are really good eating when prepared right. >>2874980How hard is it to rabbit and squirrel hunt with a bow? seems like it would be difficult because of such a small target? what ranges are you shooting them at?>>2875013Bear makes decent bows, prices aren't bad either. buy one that doesn't break the bank and just shoot it until you figure out you like it or until you get really good at it. Most bow tech peaked in the 90's so you're not going to see a massive difference if you bought one that cost 2k vs $350
>>2875097>Bear makes decent bows, prices aren't bad either.This. I have a Blackout Epic and it does everything I want it to. I do plan on upgrading a few parts here and there, but last year was my first year bow hunting and so I wanted to get a feel for it first.
I've thought about getting into bow hunting, I'd get a longer deer hunt season, and I have a friend who gets a lot of hogs near his land and a bow wouldn't alert the neighbor's dogs like the .308 does.
>>2875341It gets addicting and you'll eventually won't want to hunt with anything else because of the challenge bow hunting gives. You do have to get closer and getting the perfect shot is much harder than with a rifle. You have to learn discipline that firearms hunting doesn't teach you, and you'll start taking your time to get that perfect shot and when you do it makes the payoff so much more fulfilling.
>>2875403That's what I'm hoping for. It's easy to take out a hog from 150 yards but getting to 30 or so with a bow will make me improve overall.
trying to decide between binocular or monocular. probably either the vortex solo 8x36 or vortex crossfire 10x42 HD. help me make a decision.use case would be just something fun to have while /out/ and about and maybe even in the city. so smaller size of monocular seems advantageous, but binocs seem easier to hold steady and give a sense of depth.
what about compact binoculars? best of both worlds?
I prefer binoculars, you're going to use both hands to keep it steady, might as well use both eyes too
i ended up getting compact binos witth 8x zoom. my first impression is that they are pretty good! however, i also think that 8x zoom does not really make much of a difference compared to my normal eye sight. i don't get much more information than my naked eye already does. and at the distance where the binoculars would make a difference e.g. by being able to read a sign, they are usually so shakey that i can't make it out anyway. so i would need a way keep it completely steady.i am gonna test them some more but there is a good chance that i will just get rid of them completely. i think a noticably bigger zoom would be more fun, but i don't see a point in spending that much money and carrying around so much stuff
>>2874918I find 10x to be the sweet spot. Any higher and it becomes hard to keep your target actually in view. Only use higher magnifications if you want to look at stationary objects exclusively. I bought these on Amazon for $40. Work perfectlyhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Y4MNGW8
>>2874092if eurofag, delta optical is a good choice. i have the forest 2 binoculars and i'm pretty happy with them. 10x50, pretty good in dark conditions, compact, rubberized, heavy off course
I'm here, but I'm gonna find myself homeless in the next few months, what do I need to be a hobo? So far I have>tent>backpack>two ponchos>a few tarps>a butane stove>sleeping bag>tent fold up mattressThing is I'm not sure I can carry all this on my back at the same time, at least not without walking extremely slowly.I'm mildly disabled and broke my spine a few years ago and I'm worried about being bogged down with gear, especially considering my tent is a large, pop-up tent that doesn't dissassemble into parts>just use your carIf I use my car the local cops will take it off me, being poor and homeless is not allowed in Ireland and they'll take everything off meSo should I get a new tent? or is there a backpack that I can get that will allow me to carry a tent and mattress easily, even if I'm using a crutch to walk?Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>2872498 It is way easier to be homeless in a city so that is where you are going to end up. You can find and collect a lot of garbage you 'need' just by scrounging, and a dumpster dive results in a meal whereas a stove doesn't conjure up calories out in a field. Sleeping bag, tent, and the rest can go into ciggies and booze. The only thing you will experience that is close to Thoreau's or Kerouac's adventure will be the best sex of your life. Vagrants, vagabonds, drug addicts, all fantastic lovers. So long as you aren't a man of abstinence or too picky about whose or which hole is being used.
>>2872498>>2872558Come up north and try. Also, if you ever start making money, save up for a boat you can live in ASAP. You don't want to be living on the streets with a bad back. You can get one worthy of living on for about 3-4 grand if you're lucky, but it just wont be fancy. You can sell em on and buy better boats if you scrape up some more. Plus you can have boats fitted with a stove. You can live comfortably and very cheaply, the dole will get you by if you're smart about it. And you can fish. Free food! If you get a boat while in the north, make sure you have it in the Erne so you can go cross border. Always keep your options open
>>2874470I'm in Fermanagh. Some of us locals like to camp down the Erne on the Islands. Especially for fishing and wildfowling. It's great. Haven't done it in years though and you need a boat. Or you can just camp on the shore, either. Obviously that's not close to you but i've met random dubs down the lough, so maybe it is worth it for you guys idkYou find them by being familiar with the landscape and knowing the country outside the pale, or outside towns. There is an infinite amount of places good for camping. Take an interest, open your eyes, son. This is God's own country
>>2873807>I was merely pretending to be retarded haha>>2874758I won't even fuck vaxxies, what makes you think I'll stick my dick in a vagabond or druggie?>>2874782That's actually sound advice, I'm gonna look up boats, if they have enough space for my tools and my books then I'd be pretty happy
>>2875457>That's actually sound adviceGlad I could help. You gotta use your nogginThe sooner you get it done the better. I know people who live like this
