to my knowledge, no one has actually documented a datura trip for obvious reasons. my goal with this thread is to be the first person to accurately document it from start to finish without losing my mind in the process. this is appropriate for this board because i harvested the datura myself so if i get put on off topic then ill prolly od
>>2879842so how was it?
>>2879724>makes a thread to document trip>doesn't document anythingfucking stoners man
>>2879934i wasnt gonna manage two threads at once i just picked the more active one over on /sci/honestly i took a dose just high enough to hallucinate and get some weird feelings but not enough to be really bad and that was all i wanted. for the record i ate 3 leaves weighing idk grams each. seeds apparently dont do anything besides get shit out. i didnt document cuz i didnt trip. i mean, everyone was telling me how bad of an idea it was and yeah im happy with the experience i got out of it.

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.
>>2878300Where's yours?
>>2878288Yeah but youll be a gay boy with a plastic axe
>>2878301I like that they made it in the style of those large medieval side axes. I was expecting something much more half assed.
>>2875074what did you do after this put it on a planer
>>2879615This is for a timber frame, so nothing, other than cutting joints. There's a number of ways to cut joints on a rough surface like this. The way I'll probably do it is using chalk lines to lay out reference lines on each face, and using them to cut housings for the joints. Another way for rough timbers, if you have the room and a flat floor to do this, is to scribe the timbers together, which means to basically lay the timbers on each other as if they were assembled, and transfer the edges to each other with plumb lines. This is the old European way.
Do gay army shit and hate the issued rucksack. But I also do some personal outdoor stuff more and more frequently so looking at getting a new one for both personal and work purposes. Anyone got recommendations? I’ve narrowed my current selection down to the Crossfire cf4, Eberlestock Terminator XL, or Eberlestock battleship but willing to take others that have similar capacity
Mystery ranch is what the feisty zogbots swear by
>>>/k/65474055Bump: Someone help me with this, im trying to decipher the worth of the eberlestock pack listing.Pic explanation: I was temporarily issued a CTS ruck for use on ex steadfast warrior. This shit sucks yo. Its not badly designed its just heavy and outdated. Shit is 10lbs empty. The ex was very rainy
>>2879232P.S. The CTS ruck seems good if it was only strapped to an armoured vehicle to be moved around. It has huge storage and a huge valise compartment too. The only trouble is I'm in a light infantry unit.
Issued with an alice
Unironically get a mystery ranch
I hope you have been out enjoying the sun
>>2876341How crap are they? They won't need to be mountaineers for some of the easier climbs but they will need to be generally fit. The Lakes can get very rainy so make sure they've got proper waterproofs and boots if you go up anything big. You can hike along the top of the Wastwater screes, it's not that high and very gentle once you're up, with an excellent view of the lake. Otherwise, the easiest and safest thing for beginners is to visit some of the waterfalls around. But so long as they aren't overweight and have sensible clothing, you can definitely go climb some of the hills.
>>2875913cnicht is comfy
Do you carry a GPS? Not sure it's even worth getting one in the UK. I can read a map and use a compass.
>>2877114Defo not worth in UK unless deep deep in lakes or peaks/moors
>>2876619>>2876367Thanks for the advice. It turns out one of them is apparently pretty fit and keen, I figured doing the Fairfield Horseshoe would be good as a day hike and as it starts and ends in Ambleside it makes the logistics of it easier. I'm mainly going with them because there's a good Thai restaurant. I'll do one of the easier ones with the rest of the group.

Hi, I have a year to live. I can only do easy or moderate hikes. Any vacation ideas in mind? I've been to Switzerland & Oceania twice & have also been to some pretty US national parks.
>>2879591Just take your aids medication like your doctor told you to.
I wanted to start biking trails and being more active. What sort of bike should I be looking at? I live in a rural area and own a car so I won't ride in the city too much. Googling suggests gravel bikes, is that a good option? I'm pretty handy so I can do maintenance myself and even upgrade parts. Is there something that has a good frame + decent parts that I could upgrade down the line into a great bike? I'm willing to spend a bit for something good quality but I'm not looking for a $10k bike. Sorry if this isn't the right board for this question
>>2877799Mountain bikes are only good for two very specific tasks, which is following narrow forest paths and doing general off-road excursions that require a suspension, which OP might not even be doing. You can just use a gravel bike for a lot of forest paths depending on where you take it, and for a lot more things like bikepacking and bigger distances.
>>2878224You can ride a mountain bike anywhere you would take a gravel bike but not vice versa.And most bikepacking setups I've seen are mountain bikes, or at least use MTB tires, something an off-the-shelf grabel cannot do.Gravel bikes are the new hybrids, not really good at anything, pushed by the industry to clueless freds who don't know what they need out of a bike.
I saw this for $200 and it's given me the itch to build an urban commuter.Looking around I mostly see info for the Aura X as opposed to the Aura V. Is it worth putting any money into this?

>>2872904Fuck you and all the homosexuals promoting 11+ tooth cassettes, niggershit aids for retarded babbies who can't shift, they are wide as fuck, mess with the chain in lowest/highest gears from putting too much diagonal strain when. If someone's planning on doing hills steep at 1mph with a lot of torque you want a 2x8 or 3x7 (they_dont_make_them_anymore.jpg)Learn to shift and stop using inferior designs
>NEVER SWIM ALONEThis advice is commonly parroted as part of water safety training, I myself have repeated it robotically as a lifeguard and aquatics instructor back in the day. But as an adult I routinely open swim alone all year round, sometimes in pretty rough surf. I have a healthy respect for the power of water and the elements and know when to bail. But everyone who hears that I swim solo immediately admonishes me for being reckless and selfish. Is it really that nuts? Do any of you swim alone as well. Cold exposure tolerance, physical fitness and biofeedback are all super important skills to develop for all outdoors related activities and i feel that solo swims in nature put this at the forefront
>>2874482t. american.whats next, dont hike alone?you guys are just so afraid of stuff.
>>2874491I agree. It's not like he's spitting in the face of his family by taking some massive risk like shooting up heroin and driving a motorcycle down the autobahn. Life is inherently a little risky, sometimes more sometimes less. They sound like slack-jawed faggots
>>2874652Up in the boundary waters the water was a little rough but not too bad. Nobody was wearing them, until we were coming up on the last of an island chain and saw the waves from a large section of unimpeded wind. Well we put them on and tried to cross to another set of islands, two other canoes made it, ours got swamped from a freak wave coming straight over the bow that put us even lower and subsequent waves pummeled us. I’m a big boy, I’ve been swimming before in cold water, but the sudden shock of hitting that cold cold water took my breath away. Pretty sure if it wasn’t for that life jacket I would have had a much harder time of it. Took a bit to get the breathing under control but we ended up fine, hauling out on a beach and waiting for the wind to calm down a bit. I can definitely see how the unprepared can drown in those lakes, especially if they aren’t actually wearing their life jacket.
>>2874482>Cold exposure tolerance, physical fitness and biofeedbackNone of these require you to swim alone.
>>2876777There's literally a thread on /out/ right now about the possible dangers hiking alone.
I was thinking of putting one inside my ebike repair bag to power my portable tire pump that never holds a charge for more than a few days. Scenario:>get flat tire >must charge tire pump to 25%~ to inflate a fat tireWill one of these portable power banks be reliable enough to charge like 1000mah within 1-2hrs or are they still gimmicky and take all day to charge?
>>2877164>only pragmatic when permanently installedNot really. I run a hub dynamo with charger on my bike, if the load was properly matched I could get around 5W out if it. I do have to put in several times that as the generator efficiency sucks.Probably the best testimonial for a solar power bank is Iohan Gueorguiev >literally orguiusing it for a good part of the south america route. He used a Goal Zero branded one.Simply put it on that end of the bike where the sun hits. 20W for free on a good day. Packs nicely. Idk how you'd need more.
>>2877099>electric air pump for a bike tireJust get a hand pump...
>>2877099I've had those. Not really. In really good sun you can charge in a couple of days but generally not the best. Better than nothing but often they take a very long time to recharge by solar.
Sad world we live in.
>>2877284the little built in solar cells are a gimmick but the folding portable panel can actually work but will be about the size of a small laptop when folded
Post your tents, your tentfu, which will be your next acquisition, etcI currently have my first tent (a typical cheap igloo camping tent, Hummer Igloo 3+) and 2 ultra light 3 season tents (forclaz mt900 tarp tent for 1 and 2 persons). I have used the latter in high mountain before, during summer (which is still cold), but usually in this part of Los Andes the wind is too strong for my tent. So I'm planning to buy a 4 season tent more appropriate for high-altitude and strong winds.Around here most people use the mountaineering line of Doite, pic related would be the one appropriate for my needs. The thing is that here tents are particularly expensive (that one costs +400usd), and I think I might be able to buy something half that price in the US, but I'm not familiar with US brands. Which one would you recommend?
>>2879102Where's the door? The extention on the rainfly (where the Eureka logo is) should be over the door. Aside from that it looks like you have it staked out and tied out correctly.
>>2867295Hello fellow cangenital
ultralights are a scam. it’s completely impossible to get it back into the factory bag and it will permanently consume about 3x more space once out of the display bag
>>2879102Usually the seam lines will follow poles. That fly looks to be cinched down way too much. Loosen all the ties and adjust the fly so the seams are over the poles, then go around and slowly/gradually tighten the fly buckles back up, but not to the point where the poles are bending because of the fly. You want it taught but not a stranglehold.
>>2879543that can leave it so loose that it touches the tent, maybe not immediately but you really don’t want to go fix that when the strong wind and heavy rain combo hits
