>>2832309How the hell do you get frostbite in sitka? was it refridgeration related?
>>2832321NTA, but I hear that those fish processing factories can get really fucking cold.
>>2832392Thats valid. ive only ever fished and tended so I wouldnt know
Anyone have experience with longline? What kind of vessel would it require? Is it even profitable in Alaska?
>>2832293Alaska is apparently super fucking desperate for people, so yeah probably. So long as you aren't a complete liability on the job then you'll be fine.
what apparatus do you cook on? what have you cooked recently? post pictures of your shit. i just bought a twig stove. did i make the right choice? i'm new to this whole camping thing.
>>2831589>>2831590Shit, triple posting here, but meant to add that I looked it up and this does seem to be some kind of rare defect that's happened to a small number of people. Always seems to happen the first or second time it's used too.
>>2829651I love everything about my trangia except how much room it takes in my bag. I've tried to take it apart and remove stuff I don't need but in the end you will always need the wind protecting sides and the thingy where the burner sits. Those two take up bulk of the size.
>>2832089yeah, it kinda sucks that the trangia can't really be packed down smaller. i ended up using it to store shit like an altoids tin of fire starters, a lighter, various bags, half sponge, etc. then i zip it all into the hardshell case they sell and pack it vertically.
>>2832542Basically the same for me. Foldacups, utensils, sponge. Might splurge on a gas stove and just carry one of the "pans" of the trangia; once money isn't so tight.
>>2832549i also carry some stuff in the medium size cooler from ultralite sacks. that guy is pretty chill. anyway it also doubles as a way to rehydrate food and to store electronics and shit overnight. i'd say about 20% of my backpack's main pocket is dedicated to cooking and cooking accessories. it's an old kelty so it holds a lot. not great, no bad, considering the alternatives seem to be cat can anon's setup, or an annoying-ass gas canister setup.
Summer is arguably the worst /out/ season of them all and these fucking little gnats, flies, mosquitos, etc are to blame. Every other season is bearable without them, but summer is absolutely awful with them divebombing you.
>>2832538>15000 people hiked and left a review>must mean 15000 people all hiked on the same day when it was over 100F outsideGod this board is retarded. Go outside for once in your life.
>>2832539>when it was over 100F outside That's just every day in Phoenix>hur dur I cherry picked this one case of someone dying so that means going outside when it's hot is impossibleAnd I'm the retard?
>>2832501https://people.com/hiking-influencer-hannah-moodys-body-was-discovered-decomposing-in-103-degree-heat-11782054>her body was discovered with "abrasions of the right shoulder and lower extremities.">her body was discovered 600 yards off trail So she fell, got hurt, got lost, and then died of exposure. She didn't just drop dead from the heat. Seriously, try reading next time
>>2832547Had it not been for the heat she wouldn’t have died, as the heat is literally what killed her.
>>2832552People die from the elements in all seasons. Sometimes it's heat, sometimes it's the cold. Either way, hiking in the heat sucks more than any other season. I'd rather hike in -40 than +40.

So, what kinda patrol box do you have?
>>2832205this at least looks way less retarded than the heavy wooden ones
>>2832205>>2832456Obviously commercial made but sheet metal is going to get dinged and dented to fuck. ActionPacker ought to make a range of plastic patrol boxes.
>>2831781those flowers are fucking glowing
>>2832527Flowers do be doin' that. It's to attract pollinators.
>>2832008>base campBase camp mainly meaning the parking lot.Car camping is a type of camping and it's about all these things would be good for.>>2832067If you've done a conversion like that with the bed, you don't plan to use that car for anything else whatsoever. And there's much to be said for having everything in one spot already packed and ready to go, rather than having something that moves and needs packing.
I was at a metropark and found a mud puddle full of tadpoles. The puddle would have dried up in a few days and my kids wanted to rescue them so I scooped a few out. Does anyone know what kind of frog or toad these are? They were found south of Dayton Ohio at Germantown metropark.
>>2829758Actually, after seeing the shape of the toes in the first picture, I'm changing my opinion from Pseudacris to Dryophytes. Either way, still a tree frog(Hylidae).
>>2829665>>2829760Most temperate tree frogs will have metamorphed by now except for gray tree frogs which are breeding later into summer
>>2829751definitely a tree frog. they change colors
>>2831034before we realized they were tree frogs several of them climbed out of their little habitat. We now have a few tree frogs singing in my backyard.
>>2829754use Seek or Merlin (for birds) instead
How do we solve the tourist issues in western national parks?
If you've never been to glacier, unless you are camping in one of the other glacier vallies the main park is just this 60 mile long road that goes from the biggest glacier valley on the east to the west. And for 50 miles of this road it is just barely big enough for 2 f350s to fit through. Tourist nature is super gay anywhere but if amplifies on a road meant for at max 2 no matter who blows a tire or sees a bear. And guess what happens when 2 assholes across from each other see a bear?There are pullouts. There are some shoulders. But this park just amplifies it by the lack of any other way around once 2 Chinese tourists are blocking the whole road. I saw a whole family of grizzlies just walking around on the other side of a valley from me this year in southeast glacier.
>>2826640even LESS touristseven MORE lotterydrop walk-in permits whatsoever. they only bother rangers and attract cars.
>>2832439The many glacier slots make it obvious if you have ever been there. They give out 45 slots per hour. There are 90+ cars ready to go at 7am. It's literally up to Indian bitch niggerrs to kick them off.

is mountaineering only for rich trustfund babies?
>>2831594>death always approachesdie on the mountain. choose your own adventure. select your final climb and go out in a blaze of glory like a man.
>>2830588The one thing I'll say is that most normal baseball caps these days have too much structure, so you can't smush them down into a bag or whatever. Not a mountaineer but I ride motorcycles so it's also an issue for me, I've got one hat that I always bring on my bike because it's the only one I can safely crush and stick in the bungees on top of my tank bag.
>>2831336This. Just go up a mountain lmao.
For every trust fund baby out there, there's five of us carrying around their junk, cleaning challets, selling gear and weed. Just like skiing.I used to charge a flat rate plus per kilo for short distance portering. Best idea ever. The more someone's gear is worth the more reluctant they will be to abandon it or leave it anywhere, and in all likelihood the more money they had. So if you were just doing a day walk for set climb, I'd take a whole group for $50. Might as well, had to cache things anyway and if I took all the business nobody would want to compete with me either so I got 100% of the other revenue.So I ended up charging rich city people mountaineering rates to carry suitcases on day hikes. But often they legitimately wanted five grand of Kathmandu junk at their overnight camp, and simply didn't care what they paid me to carry it in relation to the cost of buying it and taking time off work. And I'd also walk random people up in season and sell thousands of dollars worth of shit. I'm very angry they banned private portering, very angry. It was my way of life. But not only that, the expense of hiring park rangers to clean up litter is enormous, as is the cost of rescues, abc the trails are now far more dangerous because porters are sort of like defacto lifeguards. In exchange for selling water and earning a living carrying bags, the state got a peak season medical and tourism service. Their rangers couldn't even provide that level of service for the inflated pay they get, and the rangers are both faggots literally and spiritually.
>>2831336>shastaoy vey! do you have a loicense for climbing the peak?

Have you ever been to Himalayas?
>>2829578Thanks a lot anon, seriously. Doing the Annapurna Circuit has been on my bucket list for some time now and I will do it one day soon. Doesn't hurt to do some basic research first to see how cucked regulations and laws are at the moment, so hopefully I get to visit before they get even worse. One of my more fat fetched dreams is getting to see a snow leopard in the flesh and in the wild, so I assume this can be discussed and arranged with a guide, so at least there's a positive angle to them being mandatory now.What season/s did you go and which was the best? Anything to avoid, from food to scams?
>>2829802>One of my more fat fetched dreams is getting to see a snow leopard in the flesh and in the wild, so I assume this can be discussed and arranged with a guideUnlikely on the Annapurna Circuit afaik. If you want to stand even a slight chance of seeing a snow leopard then, yeah, you'll definitely need a guide (ideally one with experience guiding naturalists and wildlife photographers), and you'll probably need to go somewhere a bit more remote. It's doable but would require much more organisation than just Annapurna. >What season/s did you go and which was the best? All my trips have been in Autumn. Clearest views, everything's green after the monsoon and it's not too hot or too cold. Spring is supposed to be good too. Obviously these are the high seasons but they're the high season for good reasons. >Anything to avoid, from food to scams?Just the basic developing country travel stuff. Last time I was there I made the mistake of eating the side salad that came with my burger on my last day in Katmandu. Threw up on the tarmac boarding our flight to Lukla and twice more on the first day of hiking. Rookie mistake t b h. Never eat the salad in a developing country. >Stuff to bringSolar charger - You can charge your phones/cameras overnight at the teahouses but it's a hassle and often expensive.Get a Steripen for water purification - Water filters don't handle viruses, chemicals are slow, and relying purely on boiled water from the teahouses is a hassle. Rehydration solution/electrolyte powder - The dry air at altitude makes it easier to become dehydrated and being even a little dehydrated makes you much more susceptible to altitude sickness. I also brought a tub of BCAAs on my latest trip, most of the meals on offer will probably be pretty low in protein and this'll help with endurance.
No bit i would absolutely LOVE to visit the Chinese Karakoram
>>2830102Shiet, sorry to reply so late man but I thank you enormously for taking out the time to answer in detail.As it turns out, I very well might be taking the plunge and booking a trip to Nepal since I'll be going to Asia soon, tho it would be in early spring. I hear that the greenery is pretty nice around that time, so it ought to be nice. This will sound absolutely retarded to a more experienced Annapurna hiker like yourself, but my question is, where does the circuit even start? I mean, I book a flight to Kathmandu and then what? Where do I go, where does the trail start, and are there different routes? How long did it take you to complete it?Aside from that, duly noted on the do's and don'ts tho I still have yet to figure out what to bring and in what bag so that I don't over/underpack, especially since it seems I will have to leave my larger bag which I use as my travel bag stored somewhere while I take a smaller one to Nepal.
>>2832405not that anon but I also did the circuit so I'lll answer. >where does the circuit even start?Wherever you want it to. You can literally start at any village along the trail and the entire thing is a massive loop. You will NEED to become vary familiar with the map and villages along the trek. Data doesn't work so learn to read those maps. Most people choose their starting spot by how many days they have for vacation. It's a looong trek. >I mean, I book a flight to Kathmandu and then what? Where do I go, where does the trail start, and are there different routes? This isn't a simple answer. You will need permits for the specific trails you want (getting the permits is a chaotic journey itself), find guides, connecting travel (travel to Pokara then bus to start of trail), you'll need to understand the public transportation system, plenty of side routs but one major route around. Every map you'll find will be slightly different and avalanches happen each year so find a good one that's up to date when in Katmandu. >How long did it take you to complete it?I did about 75% of the trail and it took me 3 weeks of pure trail time, about 100miles. Altitude limits your daily hiking distance. You'll need a solid understanding of what your body is capable of and be able to hit weekly targets. Your hike won't go according to scheduleThis isn't a "book it and go" trip like that other anon said. You need to be in great shape. If not, you'll pay for it in pain or by fancy transportation leaving the trail. One day I hiked 5 miles of knee deep mud that wasn't supposed to be there, fucking exhausting. I saw someone else get helicopered off the trail. I watched a woman hike off to her death because she didn't understand the danger of the "shortcut" she decided to take. I talked with a dude who almost killed himself powering through AMS by pounding pills. This is a serious hike. Plenty of people can't make it.

/qtddtot/ - Questions that don’t deserve their own thread>>2793358 (I think)
>>2832093Good point about the tarp. But underquilts are definitely not a meme. Even the smallest wind will be an annoyance. When you sleep in a hammock with a sleeping bag the bag compresses so tight under you that it provides basically no protection. Granted during high temp summers you might be able to go without one but anything below 20 C I wont hammock without an underquilt. A selfmade one from an used sleeping bag works fine and when it's not hot some self-made tarp contraption.
>>2832274>anything below 20 CJesus, 20c is a hot day here, how have you not frozen to death in your own living room? i dont even think i would bring a sleeping bag if it was 20c at night,i pretty much have the complete DD hammock setup, used the underquilt a few times, evidently, not really for me, but i will say, that tube thing that you pull over your hammock for setting up/putting down, 10/10, saves so much time and makes setting it up dummy easy
>>2832283That's probably why he said below that
>>2832285>That's probably why he said below that>anything below 20 Cso, it could be 19c 15c, he is still in positive degrees, do you know how metric works? 20C is hot -20C is 20 degrees below freezing, yea, if that dude tried taking his hammock out in -20C he should remember to bring a snow shovel too
>>2832239You don't seem to understand how lifestraws work. Lifestraws use a filter of .02 microns. Bacteria and protozoa are .02 to .1 microns. Flavor molecules on the other hand are much much smaller. You cannot filter out flavors, good or bad, with a life straw. You cannot filter out salts or heavy metals either. They are not designed for that. No fiber filter system will.
what's recommended for /out/ing and rain? poncho versus a rain jacket and rain pants? material? breathability? ergonomics (i.e not getting stuck)?
>>2831849In summer I never found rain pants worth it. Unless you have jeans or some god awful cotton pants they'll dry out in no time.
>>2831856In actual rain, rain pants are rarely needed. But go hike a heavily vegetated lowland trail at 7am.
>>2831855True. As for activity it's just going about in the woods. It involves some crouching, moving things about and picking up pretty rocks. So anything that doesn't snag.
>>2831855>southern Appalachia in Mayliterally my favorite place at my favorite time
>>2832261It’s gorgeous, right? Everything is growing and blooming. Animals are active. It’s not hot yet. And for me, it’s an umbrella paired with a running jacket (depending on temperature) or a Packa on longer hikes paired with an umbrella. I always hike with an umbrella (always).
