starting this because i don't want to clutter the catalog with my dumb ass question. i am trying to plan an /out/ing, 4-day weekend type deal. i would ask my best friend who i usually camp with for advice but he's deployed. i'm planning on getting a tent, foam pad, sleeping bag, and solar phone charger. i already own clothes, lighter, water bottle, plenty of packed food, and a mora companion (it was on sale for like $14 and i like to get plant and mushroom cuttings) and flashlight. do i need anything else, or is it all just consumerist memes? forgive me if i forgot anything super crucial, i'm retarded (89 IQ). i don't plan on making fire. i just want to hike and sleep. it's a normie campground so i don't need water purifiers, i think. it'll be in southeast oklahoma, sunny and hitting 60F at night. good weather to not go missing? thanks in advance! :)
>>2720192Another option is a 'fly-first' tent. They tend to be not free-standing trekking pole tent. There's also always tarping as an option.
How do you get the courage to camp alone?I'm too worried at night about dangerous animals or other people to enjoy it
>>2722644>dangerous animalscheck if there are any first, then worry later>other peoplethey arent going to rob you dudejust go out slowly, do a 1 nighter a few times then a 2 nighter etc
does this design work? the built in pot stand would be great
>>2724133i tried it with the regular can opening, it couldn't get enough oxygen and put itself out. i tried cuttinga larger hole, with and without a cermic wool wick, and after 10 mins it still hadn't primed.never made my own before, been using a trangia for years. saw this design on twitter and thought i'd give it a go

The purpose of this general is to encourage people to go /out/ and find cool fossils and artifacts. This thread is also a place to share our own collections and things we find when we are /out/ hunting.Rules are as follows,>To just post and discuss fossils and other related geological subjects.>When you post about a fossil in your collection, please label it with what formation it is from, what it is, and where in the world it is from.>If you don't know where it originated or the species that is ok, just label it as soHelpful Links https://paleobiodb.org/navigator/https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/https://zoom.earth/Geologic maps of US states (usgs.gov)A Beginner's Guide To Fossil Hunting - Fossil Hunting Trips - The Fossil Forumclasses have finished for the year and work has slowed down so hopefully I can keep this one alive. I've made some amazing fids in the past few months that I have been gone and I hope to see what all you have found since the last thread as well. First fossil of this thread is a Placcticeras sp. about 9.5 to 10 inches in diameter was super stoked when I found it. Upper Britton Formation of the Eagle Ford Group, Denton Co. Texas
Found many trilobite bodyparts but never a complete one sadly.

>>2703344Used to find large amounts of something very similar to that as a child in the Alps and pre-Alps. >>2706899So the above is the fossil of some kind of sea urchin? Curious if you have more info.
>>2724108Worm tubes, figured >>2706899 you had them swapped.
>>2707232I found something kinda similar to this, but different scale. I'll post a pic when I get home, if I remember.
Why is /out/ such an expensive hobby?

>>2720086>go down to your local walmartYes, but you won't find half the stuff in your picrel there because it's amazon slop. Ozark Trail has meh-tier stuff, but it's not bad if you're just getting started and want to try /out/

So I inherited a weird bit of land.8000sqft(~740m2), a bit of the way outside the city (or any other community), pure sand and rock, non-commercial area.For legal reasons I won't get into... I can't ever sell it, only my kids can once they inherit it but I also don't have to pay property tax on it.Also, can't expand it. The land all around is in a similar legal limbo so until it's inherited I can't buy anything around it.What can I even with 0.18 acres of unarable land I can't sell in an unrentable area?
>>2723907Not quite, on non-commercial land you're not allowed to build say an apartment building, shop spaces, or a parking lot. Putting it simply, it's land meant to be lived on by a family.
>>2723906Personal campground and/or shooting range. That's what I would probably do at least
Erect a large penis statue on it lol
Best bet would be a meeting place for your family on nice days. Use a TuffShed for storage, a bathroom, cooking, and a rest area (basically a kitchen, half bath, and a living area). The entire lot is then converted into an outdoor living space; like a really nice, enormous backyard. Include seating, a covered area, landscaping, a grill or outdoor kitchen, a gazebo if you can afford it/have the skills, and so on. A family member of mine was in a similar position in 2005. He was ready to pull the trigger, and even had the Tuffahed delivered. Before it could be built Hurricane Katrina hit. We assume it floated off.>>2723936Bruh it’s like suburban housing lot size.
>>2723936>.18 acres>shooting rangeincredibly based
I'm sick of rich faggots pretending to be farmers and attacking actual farmers. The term organic is meaningless marketing shpiel, is arsenic organic? What about synthetic pyrethrum? None of these fackwits stand up to even ten minutes of questioning, they're technically illiterate. And I'll swing this hammer at permaculture fags too, who broadly fall into the triangle of>doesn't produce a surplus/ commercial quantity>technically illiterate, unqualified, doesn't know shit about organic/ elemental chemistry >ideologically motivated. Fuck off back to the city
It just means they don't use as much pesticides. "Organic" or worse, "Bio" as they say in Germany, is a pretty retarded term since produce is organic or biological no matter how it's grown. They should call it low-pesticide or low-additive.
>>2723551Organic farming labels helps farms increase returns, as organic produce can be sold for a higher price.
Grains are dried by spraying them with glyphosate before the harvest. You should get organic bread and grains so you and your livestock aren't eating a bunch of cancer juice.
>>2723621>low-pesticide>low-additive“Low Impact” sounds more marketable

I think it's fun to question whether this criminal mastermind ever had a wife at all. With all due respect.
>>2721933He is actually a wanted criminal though. Open container laws in Ontario and much of Canada expressly prohibit the carrying and consumption of "Step Two's" in public and unlicensed premises. Every Step Two he drinks on camera, in PUBLIC, is a fineable offence. And public intoxication may result in jail time and upto $5000 CAD in fines.Don't be a goof, eh. Camp at your home
>>2712977>>2713339I mean I get the twisted humor of it all, but the REAL villain is that J.F. Quebeqois weirdo who coldly abandoned his potato to freeze to death then get eaten up by wild animals. I believe they still don't have a body so the case is cold but I hope he gets what's coming to him.

To keep it brief, I'm in my late 20s and my circle of friends have typically been indoor types that prefer to do things indoors, like watch movies, go out to eat, or play video games. Perhaps it's just my friend group, but I have this impression that people around my age can't be bothered to go /out/ beyond a mile or two long hike--and even then it's a struggle or just an excuse to smoke weed in a different setting. I can't imagine getting any of my friends to seriously gear up and go out on a camping trip where they have to carry their back to the campsite. Girls seem more into the idea, but in reality they'll just slow down my pace (well, a lot of guys would too). Why do you guys think this is? We're in the best shape of our lives, somewhat, and it feels wasteful to spend it all indoors.
I'm 39, almost 40. My dad who is 74 always told me he didn't have a hiking friend till I was born and old enough to go with him. I take my oldest boy out with me for little day hikes, can't wait till we can go up a real mountain together.In other words, hiking has never been that popular with anyone. Even Colorado you got people who buy all the gear and all they do is a loop they get too from a parking lot. If you live in most other places? Won't even find that
>>2723668>having to psychologically manipulate a woman into admitting they're slow and weak while carefully bolstering and massaging their fragile ego all for the express purpose of possibly gaining access to a slimy, stinky hole
>>2722215Yeah you'll have to go slower for women but you'll have company. There's definitely women out there who want to and can do that kind of shit you just have to find them. My sister does that shit with me and my dad although she much prefers trail hiking, she's fully capable of going /off/ for weeks at a time.
>>2722185Profoundly dumb take.
>>2722106More dopamine on the internet. Most people are also fat and out of shape and would need to drive to the campsite, not go backpacking.
Purifying water the natural way"You still have that ass hair? Douche that river bank water into a bottle. Purifies the water from 99.95% of bacteria." -SurvivalistTo filter water the natural way you must (1) find a water body or a stream, your grandmother's sink should work as well. (2) Remove your underwear and pants. (3) Proceed by gaping the rectum. Then dip your bottom into the water. (4) Allow the water to collect inside the colon. The colon acts as a natural water pouch. (5) Once the water has been collected, contract the rectum. (6) Find a water container for long-period water storage. Then proceed by removing the pants and gaping the rectum, allowing the water to "pee" out into the container.This method will filter the water through the ass hair filter, purifying it 99.95% from bacteria!And there you go, a natural method for filtering water!
>>2722604I dread to think how much shit Grylls contracted doing an enema with dirty water at sea
>>2722604there was that group that survived being adrift for seven years with regular turtle blood enemas. They couldn't drink the blood or it would just make them sick so they put it up their ass and drew out the water then pooped out the cells.

>>2723553Looks like a good ditch blade.>>2723555That's different from my peening jig, but you should have a second insert. The first one is for drawing out the metal which is extremely important when repairing the edge. The second one bevels the edge to the proper angle so it can take an edge. The position of the guard looks fine, but my peening jig is very different from yours.>>2723556If you continue to use a regular anvil and hammer then you should get a smaller hammer so you avoid ruining your blade. Cutting is about technique and honing the blade more than peening. You shouldn't have needed to peen the blade unless it was completely dull when you got it.>>2723557You should be able to feel the difference. From the picture I'd guess that the one on the left is your course, artificial stone, and the one on the right is your medium, natural stone. Pic related is the proper sharpening angle. You shouldn't need to use the course stone very often and I'd recommend getting a short aluminum rod (1/4"-3/8" diameter) for stropping your blade. You'll strop it several times to restore the edge before you have to use your medium stone.
>>2723952It was about as sharp as a halloween prop when I got it. Any factory edge it may have had probably died in the 1980's in the basement of that hardware store where the owner took 20 minutes to dig it up for me. It's starting to get a good bite though so it's all good.As for the jig there was no second insert to speak of and no record of the thing even existing online. I'm fairly certain it's intended design is that you make a pass and then turn the wing nut, thus moving the guards forward and positioning the striking face closer to the edge for the next pass. This makes it more versatile than caps while also losing the whole point of a jig where you can peen without being capable of doing that. At least in my case a total beginner does better work freehand than with this thing. I'll probably never use it again. The hammer is only 400g btw. I'll see if I can find an aluminum rod and I'll assume the stones are how you described them and see how that works for me. Appreciate the input.
Anyone got any nice tips for lamps, candles, and other forms of non-electrical lighting?
>>2719490>want to go hiking in the woods and look at nature>woman thinks I want to kill her in the woodsit's next to impossible to go hiking with a woman
>>2724005No problem. You should really consider getting a different peening jig. The one I have takes all the guesswork out of peening and repairing the blade and it only takes a couple minutes. I was recommending a smaller hammer so you have a smaller striking area, but if it works for you then keep at it. Once you get used to using a scythe you'll probably want to buy the biggest grass blade.you can find. Good luck, anon.
/k fag here. I just got this female German shepherd. She's a year old. I can tell her last owners didn't do much to stimulate her energy. She's already bonded to me as well. Having her makes me want to go do shit Innawoods. Took her on a 4 hour hike at a local lake the other day. Pic rel. Really wore her and myself /out. It was really fun. What other activities can I do with her innawoods? Also tell me about your trailbuddy if you'd like.
>>2722379pls share taming strategems
>>2718807Got this idiot under similar circumstances. He's getting me outdoors more. Done a few three hour hikes and he shows no signs of tiring out. He's two and a half now.
>>2719180> she's 5 years old, but she was fat before i got her. if we're hiking up a mountain, she just lies down half way, and doesn't want to go any furtherHave you tested her for heartworm?>> 2719569> no I don't own a dog because I have hobbies and a life and don't want my life to revolve around a canine's bladder scheduleDon’t be a cityfag and just have a doggy door or leave it outside. For op I trained mine to look for antler sheds. That way she is actually doing something productive. Especially a gsd will be doing something either way best to give them something good to be doing.
/out/ings with a PipeOld thread: >>2684982This is a thread for enjoying a pipe while doing outdoor activities. If you ask why this belongs on /out/, you've never spent an evening by the campfire with a pipe silently enjoying the nature around you, and you're missing out.>how to get startedPurchase a Missouri Meerschaum Legend and a pouch of Half and Half or Captain Black tobacco, available at most smoke shops. 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. Smoke slower than you think you need to, the tobacco tastes best when it is burning cool. Tamp and re-light as needed. If you still have trouble, try different methods on YouTube until you find one that works for you.>smoking a pipe will give you cancerWhile any tobacco consumption comes with some risk, the cancer risks from occasional pipe use are pretty minimal. Educate yourself and make your own informed health decisions.

Hello, I am looking to buy a bivy that I could sleep in and not worry about rain also one that I could get past airport security. I found pic related but that will likely not keep me dry, what worked for you?
>>2716651poncho. get a big full length one and practice setting it up with some cordage. I found one in a surplus store that has nylon tarp rivets in it and rolls up into itself no metal about 4 inches by 6 inches.
>>2717081you take a queen sized wool blanket, fold it in half, put it on top of a tarp, fold the tarp around the blanket and roll it up, cinch it up on the ends with some cordage and lash it to pack, motorcycle, the dog or the wife. any pack animal will do.
>>2717099I slept in a mummy bag for the first time in years and it was cold af out. woke up both my arms were asleep and I couldn't get out. alone. had to pee. finally after squirming around for 5 minutes getting some circulation going I got to the pins and needls phase, and I wish someone had been there to film it what a nightmare. finally got out just in time to not pee myself.

The key word here is dig.In places that >>2723996 mentioned, it’s legal to collect from the surface, but not actually dig, or chisel.
>>2723836Sure, plenty! You just need a degree, a license and a permit to do archeological studies in that particular place. Nobody wants a filthy hobbyist to damage anything actually valuable, that belongs in a museum - we don't cotton to amateurs around these parts.
>>2723836you can legally dig anything you want on your own property anon.well, the top 2cm of your property and anything of value must be surrendered to the authorities promptly
