Ok, lads, you convinced me. This better be good
>>2837828Why not buck 110 with s30v blade? More robust.More ergonomic.Less likely to failBlade geometry makes it not as easy to sharpen but also less of an issue with dulling over time.Opinels are great for skinning out deer and cutting small sticks but for most knife tasks its suited for light work.Something fench sissy hands are known for, being lazy sissys.(Historic military prowess not withstanding)
>>2868237Welcome to the club.Tamper your expectations, it's not a premium knife or god's gift to edc. It's just a really solid knife at a really solid price. Use it for that and it'll serve you well.

Look at this gay virgin tree. I'm LOLing so hard right now thinking about fags who look out their window and see this gay shit out there.LOL
>>2864965Good thing that isn't a tree.
>>2865932alright wise guy, what is a tree then?
>>2864965nazis would never use it as en emblem if it were gay
>>2868367all socialists of all flavors are faggots son
>>2865932it's a bush?
How do I put this piece of shit back in the back? there's always some air left inside, even after using a pump
>>2868873open the valve and fold it more carefully
>>2868873roll it
Have you gone morel hunting yet this season, /out/?
season officially opened
>>2868629I don’t trust any mushroom that isn’t on a shelf with a label telling me what kind it is.
>>2868629Chanterelles or nothing, so it's a few more months of waiting.
This is as close as I've found this year. It's been a great year from the FB posts I've seen. I just haven't been out to where they are....car troubles..
>>2868629no I like human food
General thread for freediving and/or spearfishing, since I don't see one mentioning either.My personal questions:I've been thinking about taking a certification course so I can learn to do these things correctly and safely. I'm probably happy just doing the diving, but spearfishing seems like an easy and practical extension. I only casually skindive and rod-and-reel fish at the moment. Does anyone have experience taking such a course?I know I'll need my own gear early on, but each instructor I can find seems to have their own equipment shops, so I imagine they wouldn't be impartial about the quality of other gear on the market. I live on the Pacific coast of the US, so I see that a 7 mm open cell wetsuit is strongly recommended. What good/bad features should I look out for on wetsuits and other equipment? For non-competitive diving, carbon fiber fins are almost certainly not worth the price, right?
Does anyone else feel slightly high/euphoric whilst diving? I always feel tempted to donate some protein to the proximate fish, if you catch my drift.
>>2865742lol I jerked off in a hot spring once and all the minnows came and ate it
>>2865852I pissed in a waterfall. No fish, but it remains the highlight of my entire life.
>>2760903oh no not the algae
I'm planning a first time camping trip next monthI'm going solo and backcountry hiking in middle of Ontario, Lake Superior provincial park. Watched hundreds of videos and read hundreds of guides on camping so I'm confidentwish me luck bros
>>2868488Break a leg
>watched hundreds of videos >read guides on campingNone of this shit means anything. Do a smaller overnight trip somewhere before full sending it on a big backpacking trip. Test your gear. Practice pitching your tent. Try sleeping with your setup. Test your shoes on a long distance hike. Watching how-to guides is not enough
>>2868488>first time camping>I'm going solo listen to this guy >>2868558that way it's not actually "your first time"
Would you still hunt or fish if animals could talk?
>>2867887If they could talk, they'd sell eachother out faster than you can say "Les Collaborateurs". Not only would I hunt, it'd be easier than ever.
I’d say it would improve the likelihood of me passing on a particular one if he was cool and shit but the implications can change things. Is it full on dr Doolittle can talk & logically can also talk to each other or just grug tier shit or rough emotions? I’m still hunt fishing prolly. I’d bleed fish out more consistently in either case although putting one in a bucket with the others and him saying “is that a dead guy” would be entertaining.It would only take one plant figuring out if they act really weird about being peed on to spread the word and never get peed on again except by perverts. I likely would eat plants too since in this hypothetical world everything talks but evolved the similarly somehow so clearly we’ve got no reason to get guilty over the natural order of things

>>2868343"Why did you kill meeeeee?!"
>>2867887>if animals could talk?they do talk
As a person who has no family interested in anything remotely outdoorsy who could teach them anything, how the fuck do you get into the hobby?I don't know shit about fishing. I don't know shit about hunting. I want to get into camping but also don't want to do something fucking retarded because I have zero clue what I'm doing.Should I start just by reading? Any books for retards on the subject?Or should I just say fuck it and go /out/ and learn through trial and error?
>>2868626you cant really fuck up camping that bad unless you get lost but just get a satellite phone for if you do.Camping is literally just>hike somewhere>sleeping bag and tent>make fire >cook some food>fuck aroundyou cant really fuck it up that bad? fishing and hunting you can learn about later but getting out there especially coming into summer is ez
>>2868626Camping is easy, fishing is easy. Hunting is more complicated. You'll need proper licensure, of course. For fishing all you need is a rod, some line, bait, and a knife. Get a tacklebox too. Look up some YT vids on fishing and knot tying. As for camping that's the easiest, as long as you can figure out how to erect a tent and start a campfire you're fine. You can of course upgrade that to full bushcrafting when you're ready. tldr just watch youtube videos you dont need to read a 'book' lmao
I was like you until I was 25 or so. First time I went, I didn’t bring a sleeping bag, and spent the night freezing my ass off in the mountains. You’ll be fine. Just go to one of those drive-in campsites at a state park with a tent, a bag, and some cooking stuff.
>>2868626Same as you OP. I watched YouTube videos for camping. Try camping in your backyard first, set up for the night and take it down. Watch some YouTube videos of people doing thru hikes to see what they bring. Then pack your bags for a 3 day trip preferably near your car, electricity and water. Once you know how to cook food, filter water, build a tent and take it down. Then move to no internet wilderness in the fall/summer. A season where water isn’t frozen. Back packs are heavy, pack what you need (trial and error mostly). For hunting and fishing, go take a gun license course or wilderness first aid, find similar interest people. But you have to first learn how to eat, filter water, start a fire, tent. Good luck. You can stop at any point in the journey, some people don’t like it and that’s fine.
>>2868626>how the fuck do you get into the hobby?go outside
My e-bike arrives today
bikers in general will always be weak and pathetic.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/GlL1DJidDU8
>>2864696How do you know to pick out a nice one?
>>2868862It depends on: your leg length + what you intend to use the bike for
>>2868903What if I'm a 5'4" twink and I'm just cruising for other closeted homosexuals on ebikes?
>>2864696what even is the point of an e-bike? is it way faster than a regular bike? bikes are already insane in terms of energy efficiencyyou bought it for speed, right?
seeking locations to homestead off grid within USA that does not have >data centers>cell towers>radio towers>heavy metals in the water and soil, >geoengineering activity (chemtrails, marine cloud brightening, stratospheric aerosol injection, ocean alkalinity enhancement)was wondering if anyone from can confirm if their gardens/livestock grow very abundantly in places without these pollutants? or if anyone can confirm their location (anywhere in USA) is free of the list above?
>>2868801any places (anywhere on earth) that would be pure and not polluted?
>>2868129>data centersthis is difficult now as they will always be encroaching unless you have some tribal land rights so they can't destroy the nature around your home
>>2868859They can't be mine; you are the one who is sick, now take them
>>2868129theres a good reason everyone in the history of forever cleared trees before building a home. nobody wants 2 ton dead branches hanging like damocles sword over their bed
>>2868418>What could possibly go wrong?for the mosquitos? everything, their life is a joke
Are they inevitable, bros? I just lost my insurance and it's scary knowing that a single tick bite could literally bankrupt me.
>>2868685ticks give me "the ick" but if you step back and look at it rationally, there's a ladder of escalation:>impregnate your clothes with permethrin>spray your ankles/legs with DEET>quick tick check every rest break>thorough tick check every camp>if all that fails and you have one biting you, remove it cleanly and wipe it down with an alcohol prep padthey need to be biting you for like 24-48 hrs straight to seriously fuck you up>>2868689jeez sorry man, i'm so thankful my state still has obamacare / welfare healthcare that is really good, should i ever lose my job. like healthcare would be the least of my worries
>>2868685Just wear pants and boots, stay out of thick underbrush and you'll avoid ticks 99% of the time
>>2868689Is that all? I crashed my bike last year and the medical bills are nearly 80 grand
This why i bring a hiking turkey
>>2868685>Are they inevitable, bros?no
What's the single best outdoor tool and why is it the axe?
>>2866065nomy kukri is
>>2867813>Defending a worthless toolThe heads don't have enough mass to be useful and if you make the head heavier the handle will be too short for mechanical advantage.2# 24" axe ∞> 1# 12" hatchet.Deal with it.>>2867839Your kukri makes a really shitty hammer.
>>2866065As much as I like it, everything you can do with an axe you can do with a machete, and you can't do half the things a machete does with an axe
>>2867880>I'm mentally crippled so this thing I don't understand how to use is useless!Please better yourself.
>>2866100is that a fucking gmaul lol
You are in the middle of a huge state forest, several days of walking away from civilization.Suddenly, you come across this structure. What do you do?
>>2866550I'd recommend the book Frontier Iron if you actually care.White men literally blazed trails, roads, and supply lines a thousand miles from the coast with no authorities or existing infrastructure and starting forging on the spot because no one could haul steel anywhere.
>>2866335prepare to rape.
>>2866358Copper, lead, iron.
>>2866358Youre not too brite are you

It's ok bro, this is biodegradable
>>2868733Based retard, that public high school education really hit you hard didn't it
>>2868733Based Gardener.>>2868753Mad bitch boy who seethes at orange peels on - trail.
>>2868356zero fucks given about this if they throw it 50 feet off the trail, but I keep seeing pajeets just dumping it at their feet on the good lunch rocks.
>>2868784Why do they dump it right next to the trail? For that matter, why do they shit next to the trail, especially when there are accessible pit toilets in line of sight? I've seen shit and wads of toilet paper maybe twenty yards from a bathroom. >>2868754Odd response but you tried? I think.
