Has anyone ever tried to defecate into a canister with an opening diameter of an empty toilet paper roll?Space toilets have a similar size. I know you need another container (Pee bottle) because it's impossible to do number 2 without number 1.I'm thinking of using a decomposing additive and dump the liquified content later.Any tips?
>>2874378There's a difference between shitting in the streets vs the outdoors.
>>2874334You can still shit there

>>2873812Anon, are you trying to make jenkem?
Have you ever climbed over 17,000 feet?
Unfortunately no; however, if I can make a billion dollars super duper quickly, most definitely gonna try to climb Everest.
>>2875094where would you find that many feet?
>>2876469A battle field.
>>2875883as a third worlder i've casually walked upto 4k but apparently shit gets serious after that want to casually tackle like 5k or 6k with some sticks, shoe spikes, tent and food but people keep bringing up bs about permits, groups, guides and what not tiring honestly
>>2875094are you messing around down in on the mexican volcanoes? that'd be my guess.and I've never been that high but i want to. I lived at 10k' for a while so I'm pretty sure with training and acclimation i'd probably be ok to handle 15-16k no problem, but I've only been to 14.5k'the real lazy ass thing I want to do is go to ladakh and just drive to 19.5 and walk to 20k and head home.I don't think any peak is really worth risking one's life over and I prefer to be alone, so I don't really fuck around beyond scrambles.
anyone tried Vibram five finger shoes? i'm inspired by Cody from Dual Survivor but barefoot is too hardcore for me. i'll have to use mail forwarding services to get these to my country and so i wont be able to return them if they dont fit, and they look really risky to gamble on. maybe i should get Merrel shoes instead. i just want to feel the terrain more
I had FiveFingers and they feel like my other Barefoot shoes (Wildling) you dont even really notice the seperate toes unless your Climbing. I ended up selling them.
>>2876840yes, I got RunAmoc and chukkas that use as work shoesunfortunately I gained 20 extra pounds shortly after getting them so I only ran in them a few times, but they feel nice
>>2876839i was like that too and swore off using sandals but the huarache design in particular gives a level of control shoes don't. the shoes that have gotten close tend to not nearly last as long either.the zuzu (forgot name) is like 5-6 mm and they use tires for the outsole so its a magic combination thats durable with good grip and next to nothingits one of the few barefoot shoes i expect to last over 1000 miles but im a durability first kind of personif you're in europe sole runners are pretty good and give a lot of ground feel but getting them to US is a pitai use minimil shoes and there's not as much ground feel but use them for durability
>>2876904hm these are actually probably ideal for a lot of terrain if the weather is good. more integrated. interesting
>>2876945straps are replaceable and everything. not much to go wrong. the one thing i've found out with thing sandals though is don't oversize them because the front lip can catch on things either picking up stones or bending backward and tripping you. i only go a few mm bigger than my foot measurement like 3-5 mm despite some of them recommending 15-20 mm larger than your tracing.you don't have a heel cup or toe cap so you don't need the extra length.i blew off sandals as a meme for years but they're the real deal. cheap compared to shoes, way more durable, replace the easy wear parts, lightest weight, lowest drop, best thing you can do for your body besides barefoot.luna also sells one with tire outsoles and bedrock has some long lasting ones as well but you're looking at like 10-14 mm thick. would work better as cushioning for long distances and the extra length wouldn't be an issue with bending backwards or catching stones at easy.
So I happened upon an ad for an "outdoors bidet", which screws onto your water bottle and lets you wash your ass when you take a shit.The woman said that it frees you from carrying your used toilet paper.Herein comes the question, who the fuck carries his used TP?You know you can just leave it in the wilderness and it will decompose, right?
>>2871584IMO: If you effectively make your shit and TP disappear I couldn't care less. Just follow the usual rules and put it all in a foxhole. If you do it right no one will ever know.But: This is not always possible. In those cases bring a plastic bag / doggy bags and clean up.There is a new phenomenon which is new, really upsetting and disgusting: Theres shit and TP everywhere. Even very close to civilization and public toilets. No attempt at foxholing either.I have suspicions what recent developments this relatively new ohenomenon is linked to and I blame politicians.

Every single axe I have ever used that looks like picrel has the head start coming loose after only a few weeks. Every single time. It's retarded that I can't buy a wood handled axe that is made correctly out of the box. Even with premium brands like Gransfors, while the heads may not come loose, they are hung crooked half the time, and there's no store where you can pick out a straight one in person. I don't have time for these shop projects to fix these issues myself, an axe should just be fucking made right.
>>2874063Hello fellow hewing enthusiast.
>>2875074Nice log dogs.
>>2876429Thanks, I forged them myself. It was nice practice for upset square corners.
>>2874063>>2875074How does one learn this? Good books? Good youtube? Mentor?'ery noice looking
>>2876780I learned through YouTube initially. A mentor would probably be best, but where the hell are you going to find one in 2026? You can read a bunch and watch a bunch, but at the end of the day, I think practice is the most important. Get the general principles and strategies from books and YouTube, but a lot of it is just simply being accurate with your blows, and building the strength required to do so repeatedly. Your initial efforts will be hard and the results kinda shit. You will not be alone in this. Hewing, at least in the European/American tradition, was done by ordinary people, not just by professionals. If you go see old timber framed buildings in Europe, you will see that any non-ecclesiastical or high class buildings will be framed with shockingly rough hewn timbers. Some general and random advice I have is that it is important to try and snap a line by raising it perpendicular to gravity, or the line will be a slight curve. When laying out your lines on either end of the log, use a level or plumb line for your first line on each end, but then use a square on that line to draw the other three lines. When chopping into the side of the log (like what a cross cut would be with a saw), hit it at about 45 degrees to the log. You will make way more progress that way. I would try and find or make a handle for your felling axe (that you use to rough things in) that is shorter than the default 36" that seems to be ubiquitous. I use a 28", but 32" might be more ideal. Your control is better, and it is less awkward to make cuts on the top of your notches when setting up for juggling. This is basically bucking, but only part way though the log. When finding a hewing axe, fine something with a pretty light head. Sometime the weight of felling axe (~4 lbs) or less. There are 8 lb axes that are pretty common in America due to the railroad tie making business back in the day, but these are pretty rough to use to make an accurate beam. You will get tired AF.
Looking for /out/ book discussion and recs. I just started Sand County Almanac, and recently finished pic related. American books preferred, but everything welcome.

Post your yak hacks.I got a new Quest Outlands 100 about a week ago and I've already been bitten by the yak hacking bug. I got a 4.5 inch rubber plug from Amazon and cut this hole behind the seat. Now I can reach inside and install nuts and/or backing plates for more tracks and cleats. The hole deburred easily with a razor blade and with the plug in it looks totally factory.IMO the Quest Outlands is the best poorfag fishing kayak on the market right now. The Quest Endeavor uses the same hull and they cut the entire bottom of the seat out to install an "upgaded" seat that isn't actually better, so I figure a much smaller hole with no stress risers won't compromise anything.
I got picrel recently.Just needed something easily transportable to fuck around on calm waters a few days out of the year.Any Anons used that before?
I'm looking for something ≤10 ft I can shove in my car and take fishing after work, seems like everything under $500 either has major warping and structural problems over time or spins out with a gentle breeze, wondering if I could just take something cheap and install a skeg to at least fix the spinning issue. Anyone have any experience with that?
>>2874501A skeg?
>>2874501all kayaks will spin in the wind, even 12 footers with a skeg or hull shape with built in skeg. that's what an anchor at the bow or sern is for.
>>2874501This anon >>2876819 is right. If you are looking for something cheap and will fit in a car, get a paddleboard. I'm strongly considering buying one.

SAVOTTA OFFICIALLY DIED with the Jaakari line. All the products made after the Jaakaris is essentially Savotta milking the autist cow. Also: Kahakkas are having huge problems with the metal D-rings destroying the plastic straps.
>>2876007Imagine getting a 200eur pack only to have a similar wear on the webbing loop in some monthsLMFAO
>>2876007Its plastic just burn the strands. Also its what you get.
>>2845262But literally this.There's a shop near me and they convert 'expedition vehicles' / 'overlanders' and you can easily tell who is larping.Larpists will always have random gear attached to the outside so you can't miss it, like shovels, axes, sandboard, none of which show signs of just single use, big lift, road tires, but most importantly the larpist will choose camo for their paint job.Meanwhile another set of customers have what it takes to follow dirt roads, not more and always a screaming bright paintjob, like signal yellow or orange, and 'TOURIST' written in big bold white letters on all sides of the vehicle. That's when you know they go places. Brcause in case you didn't know: In many places it will simply be assumed that he who wears camo is a combattant and not one of ours.
>>2876765i mean yeah, in most cases it would totally make sense to be visible, e.g. you go hiking and you get lost, it's easier to spot you. personally i just don't like bright colors. but i also don't like military style backpacks. luckily there are some brands that offer gear that is very specialized and made for outdoor stuff that offer less colorful options as well. at least the stuff i am using is dark grey and has some reflective logos which are rather subtle. anyway, there is also this weird thing with EDC people on sites like reddit that show off their immaculate gear. so apparently these people do have two sets of gear, one that they actually use on a regular basis and another one to show off. it's complete consumerist bullshit.https://www.reddit.com/r/EDC/comments/p1dl7g/why_does_your_edc_look_so_cleanunused_lets_settle/not a fan of savotta btw. this thread does nothing but serve as advertising for them and it has been up for months and keeps getting bumped with the most laziest attempts at keeping it alive. they sell completely overpriced products that weigh more than they should and require you do buy expensive extras to make their shit even useful. for aday to day basis there are many brands that offer better features for less money, even if you need some shit like balistic nylon or whatever, there is better stuff out there on offer.
Im taking a trip up to Jim Thorpe PA and im looking for the best activities to do since my cousin Gov Shapiro shut down Glen Onoko.Me and the other masters are going to buy and return a raft on the first day for the river, but im looking for stuff to do on foot as wellif you dont give me the best and coolest info on the area between Lakewood and Jim Thorpe PA im gonna call your boss and have you fired.

Extreme exploration vehicles. You see those guys spending 1000s of hours building an off road vehicle with mud tyres and a 4x4 gearbox, you see the atv's etc, but when you think about the physics of it, wheels are not designed to be going through mud, up hills, over large rocks etc. Legged vehicles are going to be the future and autonomous horse robots to ride through the wilderness are already being built.https://youtube.com/shorts/J6eVQ8C7aBM?VZb4o8huG6j-Nl0e
>>2875084wheel here. no we don't.
>>2876472There are still traces of the wagon wheels on the Oregon trails, 150 years later.
>>2874904I for one think the final frontier will be a kangaroo style mount. Its going to be hard to achieve the efficiency of a wheeled vehicle in something with reciprocating parts, and in any situation that isn't outright beaten by flying, I feel something kinetically efficient that can still remain dextrous enough to navigate challenging grades and surfaces will have to have at the very least something resembling a kangaroo's legs, or along the lines of velocity stilts if its on all fours. Maybe we'll even have pouch cockpits and parascope cameras
>>2876491I never died from a wagon wheel in Oregon trails.

Last thread >>2856593This is a thread for enjoying a pipe while doing outdoor activities. If you ask why this belongs on /out/, you've never spentan evening by the campfire with a pipe silently enjoying the nature around you, and you're missing out.>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 shopor 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. Smokeslower than you think you need to, the tobacco tastes best when it is burning cool. Tamp and re-light as needed. If you stillhave 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 whenmost adults smoked, so they had a good sample size), had insignificant death rate increases. Nowadays, tobacco is beinglegislated against while hard drugs are being legalized. Put two and two together. Tobacco is just another good thing under attack by the government.Comment too long.

I ordered a sample of Ennerdale probably around 2 years ago now. I believe it was October/November, around the time it starts getting colder. I gave it one test bowl, I think I got a headache from it, and I wrote it off so hard that I didn't even bother to jar it and I just let it dry out in its little plastic baggie for weeks before eventually moving it to a jar. I don't know what came over me, but I decided to try that sample of Ennerdale out again. For reference, it's 100F outside. And for whatever reason this blend, which I wrote off so hard that it's now dried out and leathery, hit the perfect spot on a 100F day. I might need to give Lakeland blends a revisit during sweltering summer days.
>>2876262it’s always worth re-visiting blends you’re questionable over. First time I tried Luxury Bullseye Flake I thought it was just flavorless hot air. And I saw nothing special in my little tin of HH Pure Virginia. Sure enough, I came back to em a year later after they just gathered dust and suddenly I was addicted to them.I think blends just need a right place, right time. Even blends I know I like, such as orlik or elizabethan mixture, don’t hit the same if I’m not in the mood for them.If you don’t like something, jar it up and give it another go later
i'm pretty new i usually smoke rollies got a cheap cob and a cheap hardwood pipe from the same brandtried a random mixed shag and some peterson royal yacht, early morning, nightcap and deluxe navyi'm in the uk idk how that varies availability but i'd like a rec for an aromatic to try
