Can't they make something safer than some spinning blade sticking out for boats motors?
>>2878374The human population needs to be reduced. We should be making everything way more dangerous, like China.
>>2878371How many deaths or injuries from props in the last decade?
>>2878371afaik they have a noticeable impact on performance. Also, stuff can still get tangled in there and the cage makes it even more of a nightmare to untangle.
>>2878442They keep some stuff out but get easily clogged with other stuff. Kelp wont even get inside, it will just make a mat on the outside and reduce propulsion to near zero. Theyre best used at Crystal Lake so campers dont get injured.

yo yo, I need help to identify a building or a compound that appears in historical Google Earth imagery from 2003 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. im trying to figure out what was this place called and what was it used for?coordinate: 10°43'32.02"N, 106°43'15.61"Eany information or help would be appreciated.
>>2877504exact spot i banged your mum
>>2877504Looks like a park, and the tree looks like a treehouse.
>>2877504Is this just random curiosity or do you have a reason to believe it's something unusual?

The structure existed from around 1998 to 2008. Since there were no other buildings in the surrounding area at the time, it may have been connected to the Nguyễn Lương Bằng School in Phú Mỹ Hưng, Tân Mỹ, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, which was built in 1997.
does anyone know what these are?

I love this brand. I proudly display it on my clothes, water bottle, camping gear, shoes. Everything I have is Ozark Trail. I think the Walmart family sells it at a loss to get people into camping.
>>2878592It’s a phrase that when applied to people (such as yourself) means the most simplistic, most shallow, the thing that appeals to the most people. Banal with minimal standards.The lowest standard anyone will accept.
>>2874248I have that pack too. Not bad and I think it was half off price so it was basically free.
>>2878613You dont know about goodwill?
>>2878627Ah yes all that goodwill brand outdoor gear.At least at goodwill you could potentially find a decent deal on something that belonged to a dead guy. At Walmart you’re going to find a deal but it’s on some cheap toxic Chinese plastic trash.
>>2874151I bought their 25L backpack for $10 and I'm genuinely impressed. I have it strapped down to my bike and use it like a trunk to hold everything I need to repair and maintain my bike.

What's the best form of self defense you can get outside of a firearm? I've been looking at things like high powered CO2 kinetic round launchers and lower powered pepper ball launchers, but I'm not entirely sure that kind of thing would be effective at stopping much of any kind of threat.I'd like to think the pepper balls would be more effective at stopping a human threat, maybe there isn't a kinetic round launcher out there that's powerful enough to work without being just a gun. I'd also like to ward off wild animals and violent dogs. Any ideas?
>>2875211>What's the best form of self defense you can get outside of a firearmemotional stability, situational awareness, and decent social skills.The ability to recognize dodgy situations, remain calm, and convince people that it's in their interests to live and let live is far more valuable than whatever action-hero faggotry they cooked up in their heads.>you are not going to knife-fight or shoot your way out if someone innawoods genuinely intends to harm or kill you

>What's the best form of self defense you can get outside of a firearm?Running shoes.Firearms are the ultimate equalizer and if you don't have access to one the best approach is to run away, because any other half-measure is too compromised and when what's is at stake is your life it's best to not compromise

Anon goes hobomode in Sweden and dies in a an abandoned shack? Cops in Värnamo in the middle of Sweden found a mummified hiker in 2022 in an abandoned house. He was carrying sleeping mats and a storm kitchen and stuff. They can't figure out who he is. Anyone remember any anons saying they were going to go offgrid in Sweden?They posted pictures of his gear and stuff and it mostly looks like Swedish brands but he did have an american dollar on a chain https://www.expressen.se/kvallsposten/detaljen-som-kan-losa-mysteriet-med-mumifierade-mannen-i-varnamo/
>>2877727I'mma need some source for that, story boy.
>>2877743The poster you replied to is the source. He was telling a personal story.I doubt there is an MSNBC report.
>>2877578>/perma out/what are the implications of perma outrecently hobomode or running away seems to carry a depressing connotation for me because it feels like permanently being on the run
>>2877743it was long ago and I doubt anyone would have cared enough, how would it even work? Doctors at the hospital call a news station 'duuuudeee you gotta come here see this we got a dude with hypothermia who was unnadeice and rescuers said they searched for like ages'?At best I could see the local police putting in on their newsfeed after coming to rule out foul play or something.
>>2877569i bet thats what happen to svenanon from /cvg/. did he have a lung transplant?
I usually don't bother with boots because they're tedious to put on and I don't roll my ankle in trail runners etc. That said, are cowboy boots ok for /out/? I'm guessing it's blistertown, but at least they must be fast and easy to wear?
>>2874919they are best if you are going to be in and out of a vehicle/bike/horse/etc and don't need super deep treadflat leather is unironically pretty grippy on most surfaces honestly, just not great for mud which is a good chunk of hiking terrainI personally prefer cowboy boots on gravel and soil, something about the flat sole keeps me from slipping around as the tread settles in other hiking shoes. Sand is hell though, I would derive great pleasure from forcing people to walk across a beach in cowboy boots because they are just that horrible>>2877761People who wear tight boots are larpers, cowboy boots are supposed to be easier to slip in and out of, like a slipper with an upper. If the upper is hugging your leg, you're simply a fatty, simple as.Anyone interested in cowboy boots should get a pair, they're cheap and decent enough for most regular wear to justify having at least a pair around the house. $200 will get you something decent to slip in for a quick jaunt through the woods for a couple hours, just takes a a couple weeks of regular wear to break them in.
>>2874953A lot of what you find today are more like "cowboy style" work boots with a wider toe and flatter stance than an actual riding boot would have, they're popular in the oilfield and similar jobs. I'm not sure I'd want to do serious hiking with constant rough ground or elevation changes in them though
I got a pair of ropers, I think (Red Wing 1155) because I like going to places where country music is played and beer is drunk, and I wanted something to slip on. Used them this summer, walking not more than 15000 steps per day in a city, so hard surfaces.I really liked the last, as it was wide enough for my Frankenfeet. But the looseness around my ankles felt weird. The boots fit well enough, but the shaft was loose. The fit on my feet felt like wearing loafers, but the shaft felt more like carrying dead weight since it's loose. Don't really get that with my regular lace-up boots. Seems to me like you could roll your ankles perfectly well in them. Twice as heavy as my leather shell boots too. Haven't tried the sole enough outdoors to mean much about it, but it seems alright.But they do have attitude in spades, and they're great for slipping on as a summer boot.I wouldn't wear them for walking in difficult terrain, but I could see it working on trails or leisurely strolls.
>>2877747>They're not great for hiking cause you can't adjust how tightly they fit around your foot like you can with boots with laces.Good quality boots, properly broken in, don't need it, and in fact that's what makes them so good, they end up fitting your whole foot like they're custom made instead of relying on tightness in one specific area like laced shoes. I actually started wearing them because of a suggestion on /out/ after I mentioned instep pain and heel blister problems and now they're all I wear unless I'm wearing shorts or really need the tread and waterproofing of a hiking boot.

When it comes to accessing wilderness, do you get a permit in areas that require it? Are you a permit cuck?
>>2872957Didn't leafs even require a permit to set snares and only government sanctioned snares are permissible? Like no dispatcher, spring lock and all that?
>>2872764Though I am an Amerishart, I wander freely as I please without permits, dealing with rangers and landowners with a convincing impression of ignorance and a serial-filed gun
Ive talked to rangers several times on hikes and mainly have been asked where im planning on camping, if i have a bear cannister, etc. but i’ve only been asked to show my backcountry permit once. I’ve even considered photoshopping my past permit since it seems like they dont really check the actual document too thoroughly. I backpack mainly in the eastern sierras for reference.

it feels pretty fucking lame to pay 20$ for a couple of grams of permethrin emulsified in water.the chinese will sell me a big ass bag of technical grade permethrin for almost nothing, but going that route means i'll have to find some sort of emulsifier and surfactant, and probably some sort hydrocarbon solvent. people bitch about using 10% ag grade permethrin concentrates, because they stink like gas and leave an oily film on your gear. i'm blown away that i can't seem to find people making their own permethrin soak """from scratch""". it's always just diluting a concentrate.so i'm wondering what you do to treat your clothes to see whether or not i actually want to go down this rabbithole to "save" maybe 50$ a year on permethrin treatment.
>>2877648Ignore the retarded bot bubbas, I am interested in this too.
>>2877648btfod by tweezers
You can find the dilution rate for spray application of permethrin on clothing. It's normally in the pesticides area of most farm stores/homedepots.Just buy a small hand pump sprayer and a measuring cup and mix as much as you need for pennies.You can also find the right mixing dosage for spraying around your house/property to kill any ticks during the heavy periods. Just beware of its deadly affect on cats before it dries.
>>2877648Horse "fly sprays" are a lot cheaper than the camping crap and usually about the same %. You gotta find a farm or equestrian supply store though.
