I need a very simple headlamp with a single function that can be very easily turned on and offNo flash mode, no dimmer, no red light, no other bullshit.I need a single light function and a very simple on/off switch with no stupid modes in between. preferably a slider switch.Show me what you got
>>2842142It really seems impossible. I have NEVER seen one. Everything has multiple light modes.
>>2845444Do those take 18650 batteries? And does it have a redlight feature?. I specifically like the one on the left since it has the middle strap
>>2841602Use this with a simple clicky
This one is no bullshit. See the 2 buttons? The first one is just a simple "on/ON/off" function with no flashing bullshit. Bright, very bright, off. Then the second button has all that other shit. I will say that the red light is good because i can walk around pretty well in the dark while also being a lot more hard to see by others, just a dim red light pointing out the immediate lanscape.
My headlamp is ON only for simplicity.
this home owner confronted me about my headlamp being too bright and it causing his dog to freak out. my usual walk at night to the park. i just got a nitecore nu20 classic and did have it on the high setting (prob like 300 lumens) cause this part of the street is pitch black. usually use my flashlight pointed at the ground at this part but it was pretty damn cool illuminating the whole area. was I being rude? i told the guy sorry about that. i thought it's pretty fair game as long as i'm not looking at people's houses and stuff
>>2847006fuck off bootlicker
Jannies, did you seriously delete a picture of pepe trick or treating? That is retarded. It fit the topic well.
>mods deleting my OP image Insane. Wonder if it was an accident. >>2847059Wow this is great info. Didn't know an LED headlamp was that disorienting to drivers. I know the modern cars with LED headlights are hella bad too. I'm gonna see how good the red light mode is on my nitecore and try to walk with that. Also I feel like the guys dog would have barked at me regardless if my light was on 20 lumens or 300 lumens. >>2847006You're in an outdoor board, troll bitch.
>>2846996>was I being rude?Yes. Shinning a bright light into others eyes is rude.
>>2846996idk what the normie obsession with using the biggest brightest possible light at all times isyou should be using the dimmest light possible
I HATE my job, I HATE normies. How tf can I just drop out of society and get neetbux. I have a small farm and a bitch to leach off of but I have no idea how to welfare meme. Do I just tell the doctor im autistic and get disability?!?!?!? I make to much for food stamps and I just don't pay my medical bills for any ER visit ext... I have a kid on the way so im scared to drop out without knowing what to do.... BTW I don't give a fuck what anyone around me thinks.... help... living out my RV BTW the pic is from my homestead back in January
>>2844450okay you can post the deer trails on your property aswell as the forest roads near it but you still haven't shown anything of use on the property. Is there running water and flatish land
I think you usually claim disability and do cash work brush cutting, mowing lawns, packing fire wood etc. Pay a tax agent a hundred bucks for advice
>>2844450Start managing the trees on the property, raise some as seedlings, chainsaw down species you don't want. You'll probably need a vehicle to get around your property,
I'm trans btw.
>>2847266I'm happy to see the troll meme I created is still around, so let me thank you before the jannies ban you for 3 days.
Been a while since we've had an EDC thread.What are some things you always carry with you? Got any new gear recently? Knife? Flashlight? Tactical spork?I've been wanting to put together a little edc first aid kit, not like my actual hiking first aid kit, just smaller things I might need on the day to day. But I havnt really settled on a pouch yet, or, if I should get a small plastic tupperware container because it's waterproof and I hear things like bandaids can get roughed up pretty easily in a pouch
>>2845682damm they also sold you your self respect?
>>2836916What kind of retard carries a flashlight when you can just do the Motorola karate chop?Splinters? Knife. Faggy bottled beer? Knife. Joggers? Shoot em dead and give em your knife.
>>2845686Nobody’s gonna steal your kawastinky
Phone, wallet, keys. Anything more is for homos.
>>2847021If you want a budget version, consider Sofirn HS21>>2847068>What kind of retard carries a flashlight when you can just do the Motorola karate chop?So no one grabs my phone when navigating in the dark, it's better to use flashlight for that job>>2847079Good goy
i have always found these to be really comforting, romantic and aesthetic
>>2847254Tbh it's telling that you couldn't post your own picture
Is there a more boring ecosystem out there?
it's not as nice as moist temperate broadleaf forests, that's for darn sure!
>>2846766Yes. Pic relatedFuck trees. Cut trees down and turn them into meadows and savannas and wetlands.
>>2846889>Fuck treesOnly between November and April. Rest of the year is fine, with October being the greatest. Picrel is from this afternoon.
>>2846889based, grassland is bestland
It's a classic for a reason
>>2844559>Bic lighters often break when I try to use them.You're an ogre or something? Unless you have hands the size of tennis rackets, I don't really get how you can break a lighter.
>>2842519its so embarrassing to admit but it took me an unreasonably long amount of time to figure out how to ignite a bic haha. i have really poor hand eye coordination or something
>>2842525>>2842530>leukotape>Google it>Flesh colored variation of sports tape for significantly more than the price of the black stuff
>>2842538I maturbate vigorously with charcloth.
>>2842538For the weight of a large ferro rod you can carry over three BicsFor the size of a box of 32 matches you can carry a BicInstead of a Zippo that leaks you can carry a Bic
Best way to /out/ in winter is ski touring.

>>2845062I want to go back
Skied a lot when I was younger and less poor. Tour'd a bit and had big dreams of being a guide or some bullshit but after I done my knee in I ended up giving it up. Its bonkers fun though, I think id be pretty broken now If I carried on anyway, but I regret not doing some ski trips since then.
>>2845976>>2846248Seconding the petzl ones with the cord, I have the irvis hybrid (steel frontpoints, aluminum backpoints) and a 330mm boot. The cord they come with stock isn't long enough for your boot so you'll need to buy an extra length of cord and tie em together. Petzl sells the cord by itself if you need to do this>>2846236admittedly, looks fun as fuck in steep and deep powder, but boarding is objectively a slower less efficient form of travel. I don't envy slowboarders whenever I see them flopping all over the place splitskiing the flats or spilling on icy skintrack without edges. >>2846249beauty
>>2846700>admittedly, looks fun as fuck in steep and deep powder, but boarding is objectively a slower less efficient form of travel. I don't envy slowboarders whenever I see them flopping all over the place splitskiing the flats or spilling on icy skintrack without edges.As a splitboarder I can confirm it's fun as fuck in steep and deep. But you're right it's much more inconvenient than skiis; transitioning the board and bindings takes me ten minutes and is kind of annoying in deep power. Then I watch ski tourers rip their skins off without taking off their skiis. All newer splits have edges on the inside and most bindings can fit crampons if it's icy so if they're flailing around they just suck.
I've only ever resort skiiedthis is probably a stupid question but how do you know there isn't a rock under a soft patch of snow that's gonna totally fuck your shit up
biological, geological, topographic, meteorological, oceanic, etc.

Anyone have FEMA transport maps?
>>2845501Amazing to think that most Europeans can trace their chromosome back to the ballsack of an ancient Chinese man.

What is the /out/ consensus on this debate?
>>2842487>trail runners can be used in that without much issue too, as long as the angle isn't too steep and you step correctly.Ladies and Gentleman, here is a very fine example of what the kids call Cope. Its making excuses and qualifiers to justify their inferior opinion. I would like to thank this anon for setting such a fine example.
>>2842766How do you make them last so long? I run out of one of these generic salomons every year and use em until they have a hole or the foam inside is so ripped apart its unwearable.
>>2846587idk, they just seem to lastyeah, outsole in heel area is getting thin, but all things considered - they still hold wellwhen buying I just buy leather (even suede like this holds better to abrasion and campfire sparks, than synthetic)and thicker rubber toe "guard" is a must for me since sometimes I don't lift my feet high enough/scrape them on rocks, so in the past I was ripping toe area too quickly - rubber "guard" solved thisother than that - I just wash them once few months or after getting drenched in mud completely (having dry sand rubbing in crevices for too long isn't good for shoes), apply some DWR and replace insoles every ~2 years
>>2846538You should train your ankles. >>2846547You too
>>2831657But seasons in mountains are like>winter>summer>winter>very winter
Hunting season is upon the northern hemisphere>what are you hunting this year?>any changes in gear?>any interesting stories from last year?
>>2847051Because they are tender and taste good, also because we had tags for calves specifically.If I shot a bull, I'd be in jail.
>>2846997You’re gonna have to pick up tracking, man. You’re probably gonna want to go to a different location, but your first task should be identifying water sources and food sources. Due to the drought, they should be sorta scarce so deer will probably be more concentrated in those areas. From there, you could set up but youre in Maine, tracking deer is tradition. Plus its good to have multiple hunting strategies in your back pocket. You’re gonna want to get acquainted with deer tracks, behavior, and learning stealth in the woods and all that jazz
>>2847051When you shoot a 5 year old, you are removing an animal that is likely to live and reproduce for several more years. When you shoot a calf, you are removing an animal that would still otherwise be more likely than not to die before it reproduced. Growing up as an ungulate is hard. Shooting mature cows is far worse for the population than shooting immature calves.Teasing people for harvesting vealison is an artifact of the one tag per hunter white tail hunting culture, where it meant that you had 20 lbs of meat compared to your buddy’s 80, and you had to wait until next year to go get more.
>>2846954If you are zeroing a gun that is clean, it will shoot different fouled. Yes, there are people who bore punch after every shot while zeroing. Honestly, it’s mostly an artifact of crummy old barrels with a bit of corrosion damage, modern barrels that don’t have corrosion damage will shoot essentially the same on cold bore, whether it’s been lightly fouled or not, it’s the old and or janky stuff that was the pickiest about this kind of thing.I have a few old guns, and tested this back in the day, my 1901 date of mfg M96 Swedish Mauser has very crispy rifling and testing 2 groups each of 5 shots (cold bore, cleaned between shots or left lightly fouled) the 4 ~1.5 MOA groups showed less than 1/8 MOA impact shift between fouled and clean, while my M91/38 Mosin Nagant (carbine barrel, no folding bayonet, if you’re not familiar), when tested with the same protocol showed 4 MOA of vertical shift between the average point of impact of its groups, with the clean groups being ~3 MOA and the fouled groups being over 4 MOA. My sportierized M1917 Enfield showed 1/2 moa shift (straight left) between the average of two clean bore groups and two foul bore groups, and shot tighter on the foul bore groups, ~1.5 MOA compared to ~2 moa. I also had a stainless barrel varmit upper for my AR that I tested, and that had no discernible POI shift or accuracy change between clean cold bore and just cold bore, it printed 1/2 MOA groups with 77 grain SMKs seemingly no matter what you did.
>>2838177>Which argument has more merit?Depends on how many bears there actually are. Are there too many ? percieved to be too many from too many human/bear conflicts? Are they losing habitat or gaining?
What are some /out youtubers that i can watch and learn from
>>2846215>>2846218>>2846230Those tits are bolted on, so that's gonna be a no from me, dawg.

Final one.
Rubroboletus eastwoodiae, satan's bolete
Another New captcha is fucking retarded.
>>2847094That looks cool, is it edible?
>>2847211Unfortunately, no, they are not. They're called satan's boletes because of the red color on the pore surface, but also because it's one of the boletes that will make you sick. They won't kill you or do any permanent damage, but they will cause gastric distress. I have read online that they can be eaten if par boiled and leached a few times. But I don't know anyone brave enough to put that to the test, including myself. And all of the books I have say to just avoid eating it.
My kids saw a screech owl on my property so I thought he might want to have a place to call /in/Now I want to make houses for all my /out/door friends. Different birds, bats, friendly /out/door kitties, turtles?
I made it out of a 1" x 10" x 8' cedar board.
>>2847042Nice work anon.Closest I've got to that is buying one of those 'bee houses' but it didn't attract shit.
>>2847042That's a good chunk of my day job reholming creatures. Make some nice bat boxes. They really seem to go for them.
How important do you think a survival knife is?Do you think it is a rather not needed item thats need can be superseded by a usual every day knife?It is easier to just snap logs for a fire than to hack them with a survival knife.This is of course not including raw survival where you are needing bushcraft and hunting skills to actually survive. Just general non normie tier camp holiday woodland camping.
>>2845393Nah, the issue is the work I've used knives for.No actually usable knives would hold up for that abuse over time, but tougher steels held longer.For regular /out/ use, I've damaged a few, nothing horrible, but I've had some chipping on blades that are too brittle.
>>2817865I carry this in the forest and no one has ever tried to mug me when I am wearing it. I don't think I would have survived without it.
>>2844882>MagnacutCan you sharpen that on regular stones?
>>2846772If you have infinite time, yes.For practical purposes, no.Really good steel if you don't use the knife as a prybar.
