Why do I keep getting fishing enforcement officer videos recommended on YouTube? I don't care whatsoever about this topic. Do you guys seriously watch these videos?
>>2878922I'm a big fisherman. These days, I only watch fly fishing videos on YouTube, and they usually are not of fly fishing itself. I do, however, go on bodycam binges. I almost never click on those Florida Fish & Wildlife videos. It's cringe that they've become trendy. Facebook boomers and younger people in the same culture with a similar IQ are the ones who consoom those.
>>2878922This is why. We are literally looking at why. Its engaging you. You're thinking about it. Why this? To make you ask why this. Now it has your attention. Thats what it was about. Wake up, anon.The algorithim has you.
>>2878922I don't even keep fish to eat but I still hate running into game wardens. It always seems like they're poking and prodding for a reason to fine you.

any reccomendations on a minimalist compound bow? i have a nice traditional longbow i like loosing arrows at a range and in the back paddocks with but i cant exactly get "consistent" accuracy on it without dumping another thousand hours into learning every single intricate detail about how and why im going wrong so i think i might give compounds a go as i can outfit a compoud with things like a sight and range markers for hopefully more consistent hits and ease of use but i see videos and pictures of compounds and it just looks like an absolutely bulky disaster ready to snag on the local australian bush and just fking shred itself instantly is there any type or make of compound that is>small>not shit fking everywhere ready to catch>preferably compactable or easily attached to a hiking bag as i go for solo camps and hikes when hunting the local pigs>40-65 lbs draw weight as i cant pull much more than thatunsure if this is a neccesary for a compound but i dislike the "hehe use this trigger mechanism to release the string" id rather just use my fingers with a glove if possible either that or has anyone tried the sights attachments like picrel that go onto longbows and recurves? im hesitant to buy it as it might do certifiably fuck all for accuracy and is just a meme purchase
Got this used for 500 bucks at scheels. Never hunted anything with a bow yet but damn the rabbits in the backyard are asking for it.

How feasible is spending weeks/months walkthing through countries and hitchhiking in Europe? How should one prepare? I think i'm pretty fit and i enjoy long distance walks. Started juggling this idea of a solo adventure in my mind. I guess it's not very dangerous if you just don't walk through wildressness and have any survival insticts? What would actually be the worst part and what are some challenges i'd face that i might've not thought about?
Well if I was to take a walk through Europe it would be on the new long distance wolf trail

Anybody full-time /out/? I'm sick of working my ass off and would rather do something part time remote and live the camping life. Is it viable? I hear some van lifers love it and some regret it and go back to normie rentoid life.
>>2876279sometimes you can't function in society the clown show is just too much you'd need 2 months to couple years of nature time to even talk to people with a clear mind otherwise it's like you might kill a building full or yourself lol
Do you have a 9-5 "wagecuck" job? Do you go /out/ every weekend? If you take time-off, do you use it to go /out/?Do you have objectives that need weeks of free time, but can't do them because "muh salary"?My experience has been living in a van or trailer doesn't really move the needle on these things as much as people fantasize it will. This is the source of all the "van life burn-out" you hear about. The ones who don't burn-out usually have some kind of trust-fund situation. Otherwise you still need some kind of income, and that can get even harder if you're moving around all the time while also having to worry about basics like where to shit and get a shower.What really matters is finding balance in where your income comes from and what your overhead / "static burn rate" is in both time and money. What you really need to do is focus on that ratio. The two ways to do this are, yeah - what most maladaptive daydreamers focus on: become a homeless dirt bag so the burn rate goes to essentially zero, because for most of these maladaptive types that seems to be more "in their control" than the alternative, which is: establish some degree of financial independence and balance. That's doesn't mean "work your ass off in hopes of becoming a millionaire", because that too is another sort of maladaptive fantasy. This poster basically gets it >>2876279

Should I buy this beehive for honey profit? I really like bees
>>2876354I've been wanting to do beekeeping for several years now and haven't pulled the trigger. Seems like there's so many things that can go wrong and set you back most of your investment. Have you ever had problems with mites? Racoons/bears?
>>2876336>for profityoull probably have to keep bees for the next 30 years to recoup the cost of this thing
>>2876544i was worried about that stuff too but after alot of stress they seemed fine. they just kinda do their thing and i get the honey every couple months. i ratchet strapped it down to keep raccoons out and havent had a problem. everything went pretty good and its pretty turnkey once you get it going. it really helped my garden alot. try to find a beekeeper in your area or join a beekeeping club. they now how to do and where to get everything. i actually dont know if my bees are doing good or not all i know is there are alot of them and they are making honey so i assume they are doing good.

>>2878860Yea? Like what
Lease is up in October and considering a stint of car homelessness to save money and get out of credit card debt I can pay rent but my life goals just don’t feel accomplishable if I do. Right now I work 56 hours a week 7 days a week between 2 jobs, but I was out of work for a year after breaking my leg in an accident, a lady hit me while I was uninsured. I have been without internet and utilities since march, so it won’t be much of an adjustment, if anything I will probably shower more often. I checked /trv/ and here expecting a van life general or discussion but didn’t see one.It’s not the first time I’ve lived in my car, I did it for a year 7 years ago. I know all the basics in the nomad wiki already just from experience and more. It would be nice to hear what anons think about portable batteries and car refrigerators for these purposes since I have some money to invest in my set up.Back then it was real desperation, it was fun at times but also very boring, I lost my mind a bit. This time I guess it will just be the fun parts cooking camp meals and going wherever I want, at least for the night. My car is totaled but it still drives, my goal is to get a vehicle upgrade before I worry about a place to stay. Any van life or car homeless anons lurking?
>>2878680I bought a big ass freezer/refrigerator because I like cooking. I do all my cooking with toaster ovens/induction burners. Charge from solar. As far as a vehicle upgrade, I highly recommend you get an EV for two reasons. First is the ability to run the A/C all night anywhere legally and without risking carbon monoxide poisoning. Second is the ability to park legally overnight at level 2 chargers. The second one is huge. No more stressing over where to park. I stay mostly on public land, but when I'm traveling through cities, I never have to worry about parking like I did when I was in a camper van. There's also the fact that it's way easier to keep stuff charged even if you don't use solar. You can just charge at EV charging stations then use your car to charge everything including a power bank if you want. I also recommend getting a pop up privacy tent and a battery operated shower. You can just heat up water in a bucket and put your pump in there and it pumps it out of the shower head. I find a couple of gallons is enough to get a decent shower that gets you nice and clean. Also get a toilet, something collapsible. Use it in the privacy tent as well when dispersed camping on public land. Mogs having to stay in an urban area and try to find a gas station or a walmart open early to shit. Back when walmarts were 24/7 it wasn't that bad, but now it's tiresome. I only poop in public when traveling to get to my destination.
>>2878720Hotspots are sometimes extra vs just data alone so it's a good idea to get a phone with displayport alt capability so it can display to a portable monitor. That way you can watch shit on a bigger screen without using hotspot.
>>2878719Neither spray nor a gun are necessary for bears. Just stand your ground. They just bluff charge to test you out and if you don't back down they will run off. Ideally you want to keep a can of that stuff that makes a loud noise in a can. That will scare them off and is legal and doesn't harm the bear. Also the comfiest sleeping is in a tent on a bed platform with memory foam matress and an electric blanket. I use a sleeping bag on top of the blanket but just as another more insulated blanket. Also use a top sheet under the blanket. As long as the mattress is off the ground it will provide all the insulation you need from the bottom. This provides a more natural and unrestricted sleeping feeling than being in a sleeping bag. In the car I find I don't have enough room on either side to drape the blankets evenly so it also feels more restricted as one side is right up against the wall of the car. I only sleep in the car if it is very windy and rainy (just windy, I will get rid of the rain fly and it quiets the tent up enough to sleep) or if I am in an urban area.
>>2878796damn an ev would be crazy that seems pretty legit too, i've never thought about using one to live in. I'll have to look into that what car do you have?
>>2878819I have a chevy bolt EUV. It's workable but not ideal, but it was cheaper than any of the other options at the time I was shopping by a good margin and I love this car to death. One reason it's not ideal is that in park the car will turn itself off after an hour or two. There is no "camping mode" like in a tesla or something that will allow it to stay on. There is a workaround though which involves putting the car into neutral and just using the parking brake. This however is not possible to do when the car is plugged in, it will only let you shift into park when plugged in (probably for good reasons). This makes it annoying for the times I need to sleep while plugged into a level 2. Works fine for the cold, but sucks if it's hot and you need A/C. I usually wake up sweating then turn the car back on and go back to sleep. BTW I should mention another benefit, most of the time I am able to find a completely free level 2 charger to use when parking overnight. It's a huge benefit that drives down my fuel costs. A lot of times they are in very safe government areas too. Chargers in general are typically in wealthier nicer areas of town. Most free chargers these days are connected to a hotel and I don't typically use those because you're not allowed. I also steer clear of ones at dealerships. There are still enough free options outside of that that only in Albuquerque NM have I ever not been able to find a free one. I don't want to get into the specifics of my build because it's pretty unique and would dox me, but suffice it to say I have this shit pimped out better than most RVs. It's heavily modified in a bunch of ways to maximize what I can do with it. I live like a king, far better than I did when I had an actual RV. Maintenance costs are a huge benefit. Basically 0 outside tires until you hit 150k and then it's just a coolant change.
Post your preferred hiking shoe and the rest of us can judge how /out/ they are
>>2863540Just retiring these. Covered over a thousand miles and been up and down about 50 Scottish mountains. Finally split (you can see it front bottom) on the first day of a planned 7 day hike which was to include 4 munros and two corbetts. It split on the Corbett in the film trainspotting just opposite corrour station. Was planning to walk from there to dalwhinnie. Great boots. Never blisters. I will miss them.
>>2863543>merrel moab 3 gtxLove merrel Moab. They are my daily shoe. Buy a new pair annually. Old pair gets relegated to workshoe for odd jobs, even older shoe for painting or particularly dirty stuff.
>>2868286I use Peter storm coolmax thin socks under a thick pair of merino wool. Never get blisters as the socks rub off each other instead of your foot.
I use these Lems boots, they're comfortable for my wide-ass feet. I'm in the South so can't vouch for snow, but on sand, rocks, and wet stuff they are great
>>2863605The problem with sandals is no one makes one with a rigid enough sole. They are all trying to be some sort of minimalist barefoot simulator thing. A good hiking shoe has a stiff sole so that the weight of uneven terrain gets distributed evenly across the entire bottom of the foot. Also helps when the ground is soft working to distribute your body weight more evenly across the entire bottom so you don't sink in as much.

Trying out passive hydroponics with the Kratky method, I've never seen basil germinate so fast (pic is day 4) but I need to find a place with more light I think. Using coco coir and a random dry nutrient mix (7-2-8) + a bit of pH up.I'm 3d printing my own net pots but that's more of a /diy/ thing, I can make a post on /3dpg/ if you're interested. Does anyone here have any experience with making their own hydroponics nutrients from compost tea? How's the smell and how do you deal with filtering/concentrating it?
Anyone have experience removing dried tumbleweed and similar material? Were talking about truck loads of it which make it unsafe to use machinery.
>>2880437I would crack it by hand then machinery, should be easier on it.If you don't want to weed it before it seeds you can at least decapitated while it is growing to lower the amount of seeds. Really doing anything before seeding. If I ever walk by it I'll just snap the stalk in the middle.Prevention is the other half, or whatever fits the the plan of the property, you can fight back against it with perennials, brush plants and mulch / chips. If you live somewhere dry, rabbit brush and salt brush are good picks. The more you disturb the soil, the more weeds take advantage too, keep in mind.
>>2880494This isn't a garden problem, we have a farm which has been struck by ten meter high drifts which have blown in from neibours acerage. Piles as high as power lines, its filled shearing sheds, machine sheds, it rarely grows but the dry seeds have fucked the place up. We have tried all kind of stupid ways to get rid of it>>2880494
>>2880437Why can't you just burn it down?
anyone tried Vibram five finger shoes? i'm inspired by Cody from Dual Survivor but barefoot is too hardcore for me. i'll have to use mail forwarding services to get these to my country and so i wont be able to return them if they dont fit, and they look really risky to gamble on. maybe i should get Merrel shoes instead. i just want to feel the terrain more

>>2877098>i blew off sandals as a meme for years but they're the real deal. cheap compared to shoes, way more durable, replace the easy wear parts, lightest weight, lowest drop, best thing you can do for your body besides barefoot.I am currently discovering this for myself, I often walk over ten miles a day in mountain terrain and switched to bedrock sandals from hiking boots. It's insane how much my posture and gait has improved in a relatively short time. I look forward to watching my toes heal after decades of cramming them into ill-fitting footwear
>>2878508>look forward to watching my toes healIt takes a while to get them to unbind and depending on the damage they might never be all the way unbent. You’ve taken the step in the right direction.
>>2878508it's the best. i had cold feet for years wearing heavyweight darn toughs and boots. thought i had a mortons neuroma even. ditched both and realized my feet were warmer without either.like you, i went for a long hike without feeling winded or beat up. i was ready to keep going, estimating my range to much further than i ever imagined but was losing daylight.my only concern is when i'm in snake country or thorny (blackberries where I am)but i can now see it where you can potentially have a woven (not knit) sock to act like the upper of a shoe. this can potentially act as a wicking layer, insulation, protection, and something easily replaceable. trying to match that level of breathability in a shoe means going for mesh, which would never last.i'm geeking out, but trying to make this work is like comparing japanese, mexican and greco-roman sandal culture to find the perfect combination. the japanese tabi socks are some of the only woven coverings i've seen. you can get the polar feet polartec socks. fleece lasts a long time and is reasonable at wicking. i'm waiting till it's cooler to try some. i also know the traditional kimono tabi socks are wovens and not knits (problem with a knit is thorns would destroy it in a heartbeat since it pulling at the stretch would break and untangle it). sadly most the japanese use cotton, so i'm still looking for a linen or hemp or even more dense nylon/polyester.luna also now makes a fairly pricey tabu sock for colder weather. i may end up caving at some point if i don't pick up a needle and thread and make my own hemp version.with how modern culture is now it's easy to look at sandals as primitive. it reminds me of the mark twain quote about how education is unlearning what we've been taught. historically samurai and ninjas were fighting with glorified flip flops and socks.logging boot fags may as well rope with the amount of damage they do to their body just to be slower with their expensive illusion of benefits.
>>2876534I sorta want to try these but also it looks like its made for retards so I don't want to wear them

The structure existed from around 1998 to 2008. Since there were no other buildings in the surrounding area at the time, it may have been connected to the Nguyễn Lương Bằng School in Phú Mỹ Hưng, Tân Mỹ, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, which was built in 1997.
