I am inclined to acquire initially a solar charger capable of replenishing electric chainsaw batteries, ideally with the added capability of charging an ebike.Has anyone discerned the most efficacious methods to achieve this objective?In due course, I aspire to obtain one for the roof of my vehicle, though acquiring a portable variant appears more practicable at present.I extend my sincere thanks for your help.
>>2752101There is a $169 solar powered battery with ac outputThe ac mode can charge 120v stuff like my escooter batteryMonocrystalline panels3.3 lbs small enough to take hiking in a packSinkieu is the brand name ive got two they come with panels and all kinds of adapterhttps://www.amazon.com/42000mAh-Portable-Rechargeable-Generator-Emergency/dp/B0CBJFMVJ9/ref=mp_s_a_1_15?crid=2OHOBE869RAXM&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.9FsbzuNXDPFVs_PQbayhsRJX5J3cM_Zw40-uad6cPPSqXgY2iwkh5i2_6E1JxLdHw8peWbUYp4V399zah8Fa1obmBmKlulNQ45ih-iYbq_8iVZz1uL2ZHBdfTXGELIQYTh1q3-ThJ7yaZP0TjuHBqNMA5LyvbsGwixan4FKG5Qw-umCRJR9wug9RmTgIJfNkD17PcyS4jtKPjEDiC-GuAg.AgZg1dZGD6qi8AQuJmtqNW9Y5mKx3YpMYQff8keDLss&dib_tag=se&keywords=solar%2Bpower%2Bbank%2Bwith%2Bac%2Boutlet%2Bsinkeu&qid=1721840401&sprefix=solar%2Bpower%2Bbank%2Bsinkeu%2Caps%2C761&sr=8-15&th=1&psc=1
>>2757705>42000mAhThat's okay if you plan to charge your phone/tablet for anything serious you want something above 100000mAh and even that is "tiny"
>>2757139>his saw isn’t a hybrid with regenerative kickback charging.Utterly pathetic, ngmi^2
You guys remind me of me about 4 years ago. The best answer to charging an e-bike is straight up blame America for not allowing AC outlets be made everywhere. The hard answer is you need a super 73 type bike (with those vintage frames) and buy the best camping backpack that will fit under the seat of your super 73 and strap the backpack under it as this is the most efficient use of storage on an e-bike and the method required for carrying a proper solar panel and generator. And about $3000 later you have a setup that can charge eveything in the hot sun and you along with it if you have enough sunscreen. Now i could into AAAAAALLL KINDS of detail as to why the industry can change to make what you guys are trying to do easier but I am 1 single voice and it just so happens that everyone I’ve tried to talk to as someone that’s researched this extensively, that could change the industry in this regard has refused to respond to me at all. What you’re trying to do is far form impossible, it’s just that many industries aren’t set up to take advantage of say, USB C-PD protocols and many, many, MANY other technological advances that could make this easier but they see their ways a more profitable. Good luck and Godspeed.
>>2757752Its not very big butIt charges 4-6 hours in the sunlightAnd about the same in the wall.I didnt see any others for the price that could charge something higher powered with ACI bought it for my scooter in case i get strandedThe sunlight charge time is surprising to me. I like it
>1000 mile road trip>solo >shitbox hatchback >4-5 days>beach orientedWhat would be the best strategy for sleeping? Is camping by the side of the road viable?
>>2757721I understand. It's best to just not think about it unless you're willing to make an effort to change it (ie: finding a group/club to do things with or dating apps or however you want to approach women). It'll just leave you sad man. The groups/club is probably the best bet really as at least you won't end up with a friend denying you in a polite (or maybe impolite) manner.
I looked into similar, looking up campsites in BLM and natl forest land. In the area I was looking at lots people reported tweakers that felt dangerous to be around in the campsites. Shame, otherwise I'd say just camp around. Maybe if you found dispersed sites not far from the road, but these days you also risk car breakins. It's a pain in the ass. I'd just go with hotels I guess.>>2757096It's a humble honest ass. No one appreciates such things anymore.
>>2757723I agree. I started using a dating app recently but honestly I'm not a looker (balding and 5'10) so I only get a couple likes per week which often don't even lead to chatting. I invited a mate but he told me he has to work.This has been going for years so at this point I've accepted but I guess it still hurts a bit arriving at a nice place and seeing everyone there with their pairs while you don't even have a single person to share a beer with.Anyway it is what it is, this beach looks amazing and I'm going to have a nice time.
>>2757735>but I guess it still hurts a bit arriving at a nice place and seeing everyone there with their pairs while you don't even have a single personYeah, I can relate man. Just gotta focus on the positives.
>>2757380its shit that works and youre retarded
Tara National Park - over 1,5 kilomemes above sea level and I have better connection than in Belgrade.Almost 6 a.m., time for some shut-eye, maybe will post later how I got here and what happened along the way.
>>2756327BumpI spend too much time in Belgrade, am in Alaska now, I could use the inspiration to see your countryside other than from Montenegro train.
>>2756327if only there was a travel blogposting general...
>>2756327that's not serbiawhere is the straw house village and the village rapist tied to a polewhere is the snow?this is obviously photoshopped
Greetings from Austria
>>2757649where are the roided out terminators going "Ill be back"?this isnt austria
>go outside>get lyme disease>can't go outside anymore
>>2755917>Just toughen up and get a chronic illness that makes you retarded
>>2756760but you are already retarded, what do you have to lose?
>>2755678Unless you go bushwhacking this is a none issue. I've been out hiking all over the NE states all summer and have yet to even see a tick on my clothing or skin. Everytime i hear someone talk about ticks it's usually supplemented with them walking through tall crass or some shit.
>>2757443>You walked through it wrong!
How do you know if you have lymeI grew up in a hoarder home in the middle of the woods and was crawling with ticks and fleas as a kid
the /out/ pipe threads seem popular, but whats the consensus on cigars and cigarillos?
>>2757523my dad's best friend liked swisher sweets but he died of lung cancer :/
>>2757533He died doing what he loved.
>>2757523best cheap cigarillos
>>2757523All of those will give you cancer.
>>2757523It's great having a cigar when out. I prefer lighter ones with sweet notes. Cigarellos are ok but they don't last long enough to enjoy properly.
list your preferably /out/ related injuries i had back surgery this spring due to cumulative /out/ and work related activities and it ruined my whole year
>>2756811>and it ruined my whole yearnot an excuse anon, rin would want you to go outdoors anyways even if it's just casual sightseeing at the local state park
flies tongued my anus
>>2756811Subungual hematoma and nerve damage on my big toes from a 20-mile hike in the spring. Trust me, you don't want to see photos.
Have you found any cool rocks recently /out/?
>>2757510Could it possibly be shale instead?T. Same anon
>>2757511Shale is fragile and breaks into sheets. It should be obvious if it's a shale
>>2757510Water transport. If it was found with all that nice rounded quartz gravel, that's the most obvious explanation. That's assuming it wasn't brought in from somewhere as fill.
I found this dick rock.
>>2757636now cut it
You guys do realize that there is no escape from the expanse and eventual control by the technological system don't you? You can run for a short time but you can't hide. Outdoors and homesteading etc. are ultimately just temporary escapes. Most of the globe after all was a wilderness where these kind of lifestyles were possible for most people and due to the expansion of technological civilization there is little wilderness left. Wilderness escape is only available to a relative few for economic and practical reasons. The system will continue to expand. How many of you guys agree with Ted Kaczynski that a revolutionary anti-tech movement like wilderness front (www.wildernessfront.com) should force an end to the technosystem and save wilderness from ravaging and control and eventual extinction? If there is no wilderness left there is no freedom left.
>>2757565>squalor and suffereringSee now you're just regurgitating tired old tropes. Reliable anthropology has pretty much debunked these topes, but they get repeated because they serves a psychological purpose."The Pirahãs show no evidence of depression, chronic fatigue, extreme anxiety, panic attacks, or other psychological ailments common in many industrialized societies." …"I have never heard a Pirahã say that he or she is worried. In fact, so far as I can tell, the Pirahãs have no word for worry in their language. One group of visitors to the Pirahãs, psychologists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Brain and Cognitive Science Department, commented that the Pirahãs appeared to be the happiest people they had ever seen." -Daniel Everett, "Don't Sleep There Are Snakes" (2009) p. 278Here we found a few Snake Indians comprising 6 men 7 women and 8 or10 children who were the only Inhabitants of this lonely and secluded spot.They were all neatly clothed in dressed deer and Sheep skins of the bestquality and seemed to be perfectly contented and happy. …I almost wishedComment too long.

>>2757496>No. A rapid collapse is far more likely, and anyway it's the only practical human course of action.Relax, there will be a collapse, probably this century.We will all die, and the last free people have already been born.The future is hell, techno dystopia hell, then a collapse and if there are survivors, they'll repeat the cycle from whatever technological age humanity regressed to.
>>2757603Anecdotal evidence that is romanticizing poverty.
>>2757469I like living in a civilized, technologically advanced society.
>>2757610if it were merely a few then a point could be made, but instead this is a consistent repeated trend observed in all primitive cultures. Your "poverty" comment shows you a sucker for the "standard of living" myth. the way that works is the industrial system simply defines a higher standard of living as being only those things it can provide and then it "discovers" that the standard is increasing. If instead of iphones and refrigerators and cars etc. you judge standard of living in freedom, fulfillment, dignity, clear flowing streams, abundant wildlife, tranquility and solitude of vast meadows and forests, etc. etc., then our standard of living is falling very, very rapidly.
what have you guys found?i found this cup half buried in some soil & moss; no scratches, chips, or cracks, it was perfectly intact it was during a time that i needed a new cup too, so now this is my main cup
>>2754414Yeah, that sounds like celluloid. They do that swirly grained look to make it look like ivory, it's actually pretty convincing. And yeah, it's great material for practicing inlay too, just be sure to cut and shape it by hand; celluloid is ridiculously flammable, if you use a Dremel or a belt sander, it's remarkably easy to get it to combust from the friction. I didn't grab any of the white key veneers when I found that piano. Idk why, I should have.
>>2753021
>>2753310probably still works, at least the info does
>>2746193>what have you guys found?Peace and serenity
>>2756880pretty cool
I've been using a sling bag for uni and i find it's neat how it lets you access your stuffs without removing the thing. So i can't help but wonder if I can use a bigger one for /out/ stuff. For example picrel, a 12l packWill it fuck up your shoulder/back thoughbeit? I mean there's a reason most hiking packs use 2 straps
Why not just use a purse at that point? Sling bags are fucking stupid. Use a real backpack like a man.
>>2753722>I want to fuck my back up so I can look cool to gradeschoolers and midwitsyeah, no thanks. I know idiots who have back problems because they fell for the single shoulder strap meme.
>>2753739>12 liters is a daypackNo it isn't you retard. 12 liters is a diaper bag and what nannies keep wet wipes in. The smallest daypack is 20 liters if you live around actual mountains and aren't a larper.
>>2753792I removed a strap from my large ALICE so I can wear it cross-body like a sling bag
>>2755130How else are you supposed to pick up primary school girls?

Is it weird to cut the gills or pore tubes off mushrooms before eating them? It's totally a psychological thing but I don't feel right eating them. Just the cap flesh and stem (if it's not tough).
>>2758316Nice coral!>>2758419Yes, it is weird or at least uncommon(I've never heard of anyone doing it). Sounds like a pita to do on most mushrooms. But you do you, if you have a problem, psychological or otherwise, remove it, if that's what you feel you need to do.
>>2758318sorry if a bit dirty, trash sticking to cap and brush didn't help at the forest, will clean later
What's the cheapest and easiest way I can get to this lifestyle in Australia?
>>2755980>having "the latest thing" just for the sake of itThat's the slavic notion of wealth.
>>2754819just go squat on some land in the wopwops
>>2755980>having "the latest thing" just for the sakeThat describes 80% of Western civilization.
>>2754827Do all your campgrounds have cooking facilities like ovens etc?
Anyone here done a horticultural apprenticeship in Australia? Is horticulture a decent career? I'm a low motivation, zero ambition, unemployed only worked for 9 months in my entire life university graduate looking for a careerI've been growing vegetables for the past 10 years, collecting plants for the past 15 years and have an interest in farming/natureI'm thinking horticultural, baking or cooking
How do I defend against these fuckers
Suffer.But no, seriously. I have sprays up to 50% DEET which is overkill for most things. It did the job in equatorial ports while I worked in merchant marine, and yet with these fuckers it feels like its effectiveness is a coin flip.
>>2756955by losing weight and eating less carbs
wear this
>>2756955Cover up. I wear a long sleeve hoody and pants when im inna woods at high summer and the horse flies, deer flies, biting black flies and mosquitoes all cant get at me and life is much improved.
>>2757006yes. armor is underrated and nature can be pesky as fuck
/o/ here, so i plan on taking a road trip and camping out for a night but i want to know are yeti coolers worth the price? i want to buy a yeti tundra 45 cooler to store food and drinks for my trip but i want to know if the $300 price tag is justified? or should i just go to my local walmart and buy a IGLOO cooler for a fraction of the price?
If you are going to be using it to make money then yeah, go for a yeti.For a maybe one night and never use again? Fucking pack a sandwich and some liquor instead of cake and beer.If you NEED to keep something cold a $30 cooler and prechilled whatever will last 24 hours no problem
>>2757200so does ya mum
>>2756936"buy it nice or buy it twice" only applies to stuff that you actively use a lot. If you're going to use any cooler once a year for a road trip then there is absolutely no reason to buy a yeti when a 80 dollar igloo would surpass your needs.
>>2757286>when a 80 dollar igloo would surpass your needs.I use a $20 soft shell no-name brand picnic cooler and it's good enough for day trips even when I leave it in the back with hot sun baking the car all day. You get a good 10-12 hours out of those things before the ice completely melts. One thing about coolers is the smaller they are, the longer they stay cool. So only buy one as big as you actually need.
Fuck yeti they sold off to China. Buy Pelican
How do you feel about volunteering your skills to help your community in the event of a disaster? >do you feel you have skills you could offer?>would you be more likely to join an organization if the organization was based?
>>2755183desperate swing and a miss disappointed in you
>>2755189Learn to have a normal interaction, imbecile. Your crap is all over the place.
>>2753224I had a plan to buy a bunch of food grade barrels and create rain water catchments hidden all over the local area, mainly hidden in out of the way places. I feel like having knowledge of something like that would be valuable in an emergency and apart from having to worry about vandals or officials, I think it would be left alone to collect water until it is required.Also it is worth having decentralised resources in a disaster because of the you-know-who's that like to do as they please when the going gets tough.
>>2753224In 2017, I picked up a machete and went to clear up my local main road after a large hurricane. To my surprise I wasn't the only one there. There was about a dozen people doing the same. Someone haves us coffee.
>>2753224Most I could do is help clear some brush or lug heavy shit around all day. I could maybe still do some basic triage from some FEMA training I had years ago but I'd rather leave that to pros. I'm good with a chainsaw, though.
