Doing a camping trip in the next month or so and have been roped in as the camp cook. It's a three day trip, what would be good foods to bring given we're going to be camping out on public land in the western US? Was thinking eggs and corn beef hash for breakfast, something light for lunch, but drawing a blank on dinners. It'll be a three day trip, so will need foods that will stay well in a cooler. Have a double propane burner, and a single butane one.
>>2717536Based moka pot.
Enough meal suggestions already so my 2c is just to keep it simple and less packaging the better - none at all is ideal. There's a Spanish documentary maker Eugenio Monesma. The videos where you see the workers making their meals while out remote on the job is the best. Stews over fire are common. But the way they prepare is couldn't be more straightforward. Cutting the vegetables in hand straight into the pot without fucking around with a chopping board. Leg of linen-wrapped leg of goes straight in - no cooler required.

>>2716326Thats an organic nickname, and a darn fine one i'd say, despite being kinda generic. I'd wager that half the people ive know with nicknames, the names are negative, like "dribbles" for a friend who got a little piss on his pants one time. or "beandip" for a chubby kid who got beandipped(someone flicked one of his nipples, idk why it was called that)>>2720451>your trail name is now the last tool you used coupled with the last meal you ateKnife Salad

>>2725044I dont spin fish as much anymore, but on the days I do, trout magnets work better in dirty or unclear waters in my experience. I also like kastmaster spoons if you're looking to try another lure. Usually my go to for trout with a jerk retrieve.
where the fuck are you people fishing that you can actually SEE the fish in the water?

What sort of insoles do you guys buy when yours get worn down? I bought these alpine ranger boots, and while the insoles it came with are fine, they are replaceable and i figure it'd be a good idea to get new ones eventually

I've been browing these boards for a while and I've never seen mention of blackout tents. You know where you can put a torch inside but he completely hidden from the outside at night? Seems like a cosy idea for stealth camping, what do you guys think?

I don't know how to use a compass. I cannot read a paper map. I only use my phone.
>>2723474That's not something you should be bragging about anon. It's a flaw, not a feature. Go learn a useful skill you dumb fucking faggot.
>>2725057phone navigation is a skillits 2024 grandpa
>>2725060What are you going to do when your cellphone dies, you never learned to use a paper map so didn't bother packing one, and you have to find your way back to your vehicle? Let me guess, that'll never happen to you. You're careful. You've never broken a cellphone in your life and you packed a spare battery pack. Well, you're throwing the dice on dying of exposure a quarter mile from your car because you never learned how to navigate properly. Throw the dice all you'd like, just don't brag about it like you're some sort of badass because you take stupid risks that could be easily avoided.

>>2724398>family members pestering me to hunt.You have land and a big family and you're complaining on /out/ about it.Just putting it into words what an ungrateful douche you are.
>>2724748They are cousins and stuff not immediate family. I don't hear from them unless they want a favor. I hunt ocassionally but generally I'm sort of down on it tbqh. Not once has one ever said "hey can I go dig up a x seedling." "Can I go take some pictures etc." If they texted and said hey let's go look for a Magnolia seedling or a Willow Oak seedling not only would I let them but I go with them. Anyways, what pesters me the most about it is they have land of their own kek. I have non family members/neighbors that have free reign because they are friends and don't always have their hand out.
>>2724748Nah, fuck that, some family are freeloaders. I have an uncle that tried to cause a big stink because I told him he couldn't park in my driveway to trespass and poach deer off my neighbors property.

>>2713594I grew up in a church that hosted multiple troops, and every Eagle scout I know no longer keeps any of the hobbies or skills that they worked on for their badges. I don't mean to disparage your experience, but it just made me think about the scouts that I know.My parents never introduced me to the scout programs, not really sure why. I think my dad had a bad experience with the "Sea Cadets" that he was in as a kid, and maybe had a tainted view.However; I love camping, outdoorsmanship, hiking, etc. I got into it as an adult, and it has been very fulfilling. A significant part of that is having a wife that enjoys it as much or more as I do, I'd guess. I even was super into reloading ammo and building my own bows and arrows for a time, until I realized that I enjoyed the math more than the mayhem that they produced.All of this is to say that we can find a passion for the outdoors at any stage of life. I'm glad that you found it in the scouts, but I think a lot of people can also find it in a less organized form.
>>2713171go look at the 1911 scout handbook vs one of today.1911:>to get badge in thing: do the thing.2024:>to get badge in thing: do a 1000 word essay and research assignment on the health and safety concerns about doing thing. if you get time and your scout leader isn't on her rags and feels like it then you may watch her do the thing.

>>2724235>>2724896Let's cut it sort and hear what our guy has to say:When, long ago, the gods created EarthIn Jove's fair image Man was shap'd at birth.The beasts for lesser parts were next design'd;Yet were they too remote from humankind.To fill the gap, and join the rest to man,Th'Olympian host conceiv'd a clever plan.A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure,Fill'd it with vice, and call'd the thing a NIGGER.If this is true, you can't even fault them for stealing, and I reckon the ones in lovecraft's days were much more behaved.

>>2719234Where can I get this patch please?
>>2721824>>2721817First off you shouldn't completely ruin your life just because you fucked up. Who cares if you beat your wife? I bet she prevented you from winning the big jackpot and having fun with the lads. The bitch probably deserved and would've divorced you anyways, so fuck it. Time to move on.Are you totally ineligible for gibs? You gotta be able to get some dough from uncle sam right? There's also plenty of beaner-tier labor jobs you could get with no credentials. Most pay 100 bucks cash at the end of every day, something to consider if you aren't physically fucked up too.
>>2724142I take jobs and make money where I can, mostly manual labour. My days of bin yackin are mostly behind me and I don't beg. There are hard times and better times but I mostly get by. During better times I even have enough money to help out some of my bros but I never have enough to get my own digs. During the winter I sometimes get to couch hop with friends or friends of friends. Gets me out the cold for a while. I'm not going to lie, most of my money goes on booze.
>>2720838Easier and less messy, but more expensive method; Vodka Bath.I like to use papertowel, but a bandana works too; lightly soak it in cheap vodka, then whipe yourself down with it, repeat as necessary. Alcohol is a solvent so it actually works really well at removing sweat, dirt grease etc. You can potentially dilute the vodka a bit with water to make it go a bit further and not dry out your skin as bad if thats an issue.Don't use Isopropyl, it may be cheaper sometimes, but itll really fuck your skin up and evaporates too fast.Vodka is an essential survival item imo.
