Anyone from /out/ tell me if the Kantamus 60L is worth it? Looking for an endgame backpack that will survive the apocalypse.
>>2868023i got a water bladder, theres an insert for it with attachment strap. Additional bottle goes on additional side pouch.
>niukka perfect for little day hikes where I don't need to bring a sleep system>jaakari perfect for multi day hikes where I need to bring everythingThank you Finland. I also appreciate that the niukka doesn't make me look like I'm going to fight the Russians and works for more civvy environments
>>2868023Pretty straightforward. You can fit 2x 1L canteens in the Askare hip pack and the Kahakka backpack models have big side pockets that you can fit in as big a water bottle as you want.
New stuff just dropped.>still no horizontal pouchI sleep.
>>2845330I work in heavy industry, and that's hell on my backpacks.I was fed up with backpacks falling appart every few months and constantly having to fix them.Sadly backpacks made from nomex aren't a thing because I often see sparks and liquid iron/steel/slag, so heavy cordura needs to do.Savotta has survived pretty well so far.
Ive been doing a lot of weekend camping and bushcrafting recently with my old school bookbag and it doesnt really cut it anymore.Any recommendations are appreciated. Preferably 40l+, and something durable Ill ideally never have to replace. My dad also has old external frame packs; if anyone has any info on modifying those Id greatly appreciate that too.
Big Agnes probably has some in that price range. won't be ultralight but they're still pretty good.
>>2866296check your local thrift stores. people buy expensive shit for camping and hiking, then they realize they don't like outdoorsy shit and donate it.
I just purchased a Yamatomichi MINI2 in aliexpress for 60 euridoos.I think it's the real deal, no way the chinese are making fake backpacks of this niche japanese brand nobody knowsI will get back to you when I get it
>>2866296I have a Six Moons Flight 30, it's fantastic primarily because of the vest style harness
>>2866296>something durable Ill ideally never have to replace.Savotta is the answer.>made in finland/estonia>indestructable >trebuchet tested>5 years warranty
The nature is harsh, dry, not welcoming, the people are very dumb and either friendly if they can't actually help you, annoying when they want to help you ged rid of all cash in your wallet or rude when they don't care for your existence.Frequent interaction with the wild animals is what made it worthwhile though.
Why go to africa, they are all gonna be coming to us here soon. Thanks fellow suicidal whites!
>>2867984It’s like how it’s better to go hiking to see animals in the wild vs buying a ticket to the zoo.
>>2860149Tell me about mali plz. Tuaregs seem like cool guys who dont afraid of anything.

Do you wear a helmet when you are riding your bike? why or why not? i used to be heavy into road biking and going FAST in traffic to show off and get my adrenaline going so i always wore a helmet otherwise i felt extremely exposed, but now that im older i prefer to just cruise on the bike paths and take in the scenery and smell the fresh air, so i stopped wearing a helmet and just let the wind blow through my hair
>>2866708>My entire left side of my face was wrecked. I split open my nose, my lip, my forehead, and skin near my eyeOnly full face helmet would have protected you from any of that
What is the deal with all of the retarded machismo ITT? do you shoot indoors without hearing protection because that's for sissies too? and fuck black whores off the street without a condom?it's ok to not want your skull to be cracked open like an egg and need someone else to wipe your ass for the rest of your now retard spastic life
>>2860824Sorry it got stolen anon. Did you do bmx or was it just a fun stunt bike? Because if thats a daily rider and youre not under 16 its kinda gey.
>>2861269K dude.Sorry that happened but im not taking your advice.
>>2860654i'm pickup up a custom athletic mouthguard from the dentist next week and yes i will wear it biking, no i do not play contact sports, and i don't care how dorky or abnormal it is. if i wipe out on a bike or smack my mouth on a rock climbing hold, well i am just not going to live with a chipped tooth because of that>>2860688based helmet wearer. i always wear a full one that covers the ears on my moped. the next state over doesn't mandate helmets, which is insane because they also drive like shit. like one of my friends got hit and run, and limped back with a destroyed bicycle. i've seen people try to overtake others in the fucking shoulder of a highway in an active construction zone. it is one of the reasons why i've unironically thought of arming myself with caltrops, to disable cars that get too uppity>>2860671having biked as my exclusive mode of transportation in a major city for well over 5 years, i can tell you from experience that i will never ride a bike without rearview mirrors. it's basically the same thing as not being able to see the next boomer with a small penis in a pickup truck or SUV asserting his "dominance" because a 1.5 foot strip of green paint with a bike icon is an existential threat to israel>>2861259(((insurance companies))) yeah it's so they don't have to pay out anything cuz a death is cheaper than any injury in their jewish calculation>>2862477announcing you're passing on the left is perfect bike etiquette, even better than a bell i'd argue
when did realtree edge become streetwear ? this used to be a show of character -- that you'd wear this if you were a hunter with grit and interesting pasttime. now it's just for douchebag zoomers whose only hobby is being bad at managing their mcdonald's paychecks. how gay is that ! anyone else feel like putting their balls in these people's mouths ? read this sentence if you agree.
>>2866235Looking bluecollar and rugged has always been a fashion trend.Have you seen what faggots pay for vintage carhartt now?I wore my 15 yearold carhartt to menards last month and some zoomer offered me 150 dollars for it.Its wierd and makes people seem retarted.
>>2866333This is why being implicitly White doesn't work in the long run.
>>2866235> this used to be a show of character -- that you'd wear this if you were a hunter with grit and interesting pasttimeFalling for marketing this hard is a sign of low intelligence
>>2866235camo has always been streetwear, which is ironic because they make camo patterns specifically designed for urban warfare. that irony is why city dwellers pay $100 for a tree print hoodie with a bright red logo that entirely negates the camo aspect>>2866251i'd say pickup truck drivers are generally more of a legit societal menace than camp drivers. not to go all "not just bikes" but they tend to have very bright headlights that are incorrectly calibrated because the vehicle's height is wrong. like dude, you're driving 2 miles to the supermarket on a state highway that is fully illuminated>>2868209>i always knew realtree as overpriced champagne wearit's for bird hunters due to the hi-fi nature of bird vision. i generally like to keep a low profile while camping so i default to olive drab as the main color for big items like tarps. but all the cordage is bright yellow so i can not trip on it
>>2866333>>2868306gotta double post and checkem, this is the most nonwhite thing i've seen in a while. many of the white people i know have specific manners (think calling it a facecloth instead of a washcloth, or being trained to pass both the salt and pepper when someone asks for only one), generations of history in charitable organizations, wealth that explicitly rejects conspicuous consumption, they belong to one of like 3 specific mainline protestant religions, the old people unironically care about the british royal family, etc. it's hard to sell that at H&M. white trash is definitely a thing tho
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.
>>2867623diy
>>2867623>and there's no store where you can pick out a straight one in personSo you have all your axes delivered?Or is the axe store like a fast food joint where you place an order, they bag it all in the back and just hand you a bag full of shit?
>>2867714I only buy axes in person so I can pick out one that doesn't have crooked alignment between the head and handle. Most wood handled axes are crooked, even from the better manufacturers. I found a store in North Carolina once that had council tool axes and every single one was crooked.
>>2867623>I don't have time for these shop projects to fix these issues myself, an axe should just be fucking made right.You do have the time. In the time it took you to whine this out onto your iPhone you could have re-handled your axe properly, but you just want people to think that you're rich by claiming you're too busy to maintain your equipment.
>>2867623Gransfors bruks used to be considered cheap low tier axes. They do make axes out of good steel, but that’s it. You have to re-bevel the taper and often, like you mention, re handle it yourself. Husqvarna axes are literally gransfors axes at half the price. There are good axes out there, but they fetch an absolute premium. Like 250 usd to start. Best bet is to buy something pre 1940 and handle it with a Hoffman handles handle. Probably need to re- bevel the edge first. I have dozens of old axes I restored. Some are absolute laser beams.

I used to love hiking.Today I went on one, usually it helps me soothe my mind and its a good place to be when things are down. I usually also take fun pictures and romanticize the whole trip, look carefully at the wildlife, plants, feel of the air, how the wind feels...I have come to a point where I felt none of those things, worst of all is that I still posted the pictures of me smiling and the view to instagram as if everything was so perfect and dandy. Pretending to be happy.I no longer feel anything for anything. Depression has hit me so deepy I get no satisfaction from anything and have no one to connect with about any sort of experiences I go through.I go to the gym everyday, count calories, do cardio, hike, have a job, take insane amounts of supplements, go to bed at a proper time. What the fuck is even the point anymore... When the things you used to do in order to cope, when nature is portrayed as this hail mary to mental illness or built up stress... When none of these things even work anymore. What does one do? What do you do anon? Have you ever felt like this?
>>2863765Have you tried having a family?Men don't have baby fever like women, but we feel it in our soul.Men need purpose, and usually that's having kids.
>>2863765>When none of these things even work anymore.You're depressed, and sounds like you normally fix it with hiking. I do that too, but it's not just exercise and nature that you need.>exercise>novel experiences>socializationThese are the magic ingredients to cure depression. Hands down, if you're depressed, you're lacking one of these things. Hiking might solve two, but it doesn't hit all three. Obvious exception for going through tragedy or high stress situations, I'm talking about depression where you can't explain where it's coming from.

If you're going car-camping you are obligated to use your house-on-wheels as part of your camping setup.I'm thinking of getting some of that mosquito netting with the weighted bottom to make the trunk into a pop-up camper. There's more than enough room to sleep.Rain will require a full tarp from the roof back, but that's easier.
>>2864875Some cars you can turn it off with just a carabiner so the trunk thinks its closed
>>2864840>If you're going car-camping you are obligated to use your house-on-wheels as part of your camping setup.why is that? I mean, bring a tent perhaps?or is this a thiny veiled:>I'm a poor faggot neet CUNT and living in my car like a fucking hobo Thread?

>>2867266>why is that? I mean, bring a tent perhaps?Why bring a tent when you brought a house on wheels.I like integrating transportation with shelter.

South African Waxi boots. Best boots I've ever worn.
Gonna name drop them here because I see literally no mention, probably gonna sound like a marketing shill, but Aku is a fucking amazing brand. I guess they're bigger in EU (Italian company), but still a relatively small player. I heard they're popular with SAR in the UK and Nordics. Found out about them on a trip to Iceland. They do have a US web store, but with less selection.Literally the most common comfortable shit I've ever worn. Never get blisters. Also they're the only company making a three season Mountaineering boot that's actually comfortable to hike miles on the approach in. Since I discovered them, I've slowly replaced all my /out/ footwear.Light hiking / scrambling - Rock DFSBackpacking - Superalp GTXMountaineering / snow - Aurai DFSThey also make tacticool versions of a lot of their shit, if that's your jam.

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?
>>2867234>>2867931 This but with warm water, wear a mask, safety glasses, gloves.
>>2868223This is a fiberglass free safe space chuddy, take your cancer rods somewhere else
>>2866999>66999niceI'm a full timer or wanderer or whatever. I bought a onetigres jovian last year and have spend over 200 nights in it, most of them standing for 2 weeks at a time taking the sun. It's still in great shape. It's heavy as fuck I think it's 13 pounds. So for me it's car camping only maybe if you're a super dad you can lug it a mile for state park primitive camping. But it's huge and bombproof I've had it up on mountain faces getting 40mph winds it's a good tent for car camping.
>>2868177It was decent enough in my opinion.

>>2868144nothing to worry about unless you have a bullseye shaped wound or you are european
>>2868192lyme disease does not always show the signature bullseye rash. Sometimes it's just a blob and sometimes it doesn't show up at all.
>>2868196Lyme is also not the only thing to worry about, ticks have many gifts for us
>>2868144They fold up their legs when they're feeding to help keep a low profile and be harder to spot. Once they start swelling like that, they've been on you for a while. 4 days is crazy if it was actually dug in for that long. If it was actually dead when you pulled it off, it could also be that you just pulled the body off and the head is still there. It's pretty common for that to happen once they get dug in well and especially if you're just pulling them off with your fingers and not a pair of tweezers or something.
>>2868253The head is clearly there in the picture. I have never ever seen anyone 'leave the head in'. Does not happen unless you're stupid enough to cut it off accidentally.
