This was taken in Colorado, any idea where?
>>2787666Tell us!
>>2787666>>2787667Captcha was annoying and tipped me over the edge.It is in fact in colorado, near the Silver Jack res. The Cimarron river splits in 2 there and I'm sure this is the ridge on the east side of the East Fork between High Mesa and Sheep Mountain. If I'm wrong, I'll bet it's along the Turret Ridge along the middle fork of the river. I haven't been there in a while so I don't remember every single vane, but I'm 100% sure it's one of the formations in that area. Iirc there are some near owl creek pass. If you want to spend some time to find this exact formation, start there.But yeah, that's the area. Fuck you, Matt. How full of it are you that you'll take some pictures and then post and gatekeep them. Keep it to yourself in the future, it's the fight club rule. Don't talk about it with normies and don't post any pictures either.

>>2784422no but there are clubs that just do dinghying, and you'll probably pay far less. It used to be common, but then boomers pulled the ladder up behind them, as usual, and made everything unaffordable
>>2784422depends on where you are but where I am the dinghy clubs just leave enough boats on buoys for whoever wants to use one. nothing fancy, just your average fleet of aging lasers and optimists and whatnot, the odd hobie. the scow clubs don't have a fleet that large but they are always starved for crew and all you really have to do is show up when needed.

i'm thinking about buying a 30' trailerable trimaran, and was wondering how capable it might be offshore, in spite of their tiny displacement.does their performance evaporate the moment they run into waves a few meters high?do they become unlivable at sea? I would expect that the limited heel would help with the comfort as compared to a monohull, but I would love to hear anyones elses experience on this.
this is probably a long shot but has anyone heard about starks mine around the walnut creek park located in austin texas? allegedly there is a hidden mine at this park rumored to contain some gold from the robbery that occurred in the late 1800s. allegedly pic related is the mine thats in this park and most of the information isn't available about it since the county officials dont want to share the exact location of it since its closed off. i found some more information on some urban exploration forum that someone confirmed that the mine does exist at the park but they don't remember the location of it other than it being some hole in the ground. now ive been hiking around this area for about 6+ years and have been going off the trail and found what appears to be a sealed off cave, and by being sealed off i mean i found what appears to be 8 ft hole in the ground thats flooded covered by like a 5-6 foot rusted metal sheet thats like bolted to the ground. also if the mine doesnt exist there is a native america story about them hiding random shit in a cave, so there is some sort of cave/mine at this park that appears to be lost.
>>2786627>>2786632I found an alleged map and there are inter iew accounts of the people confirming that it's there. But these people are dead according to their obituary. The land marks that it mentions are still there like coxville zoo. The mine is #4 on the map.But what I found isn't right by a creek as should the mine be according to that map. I'll later try to find it on google maps unless someone else could help since I have to go to college soon. Or should I just go full schizo at the park entrance and hand people out the map to find it and bring awareness?LINK:https://fryr.tripod.com/cfhistdiagram.html

Have you ever made your own tool or modified something for your own purpose that made it a more functional tool? I hear some people make floor mats or light weight temporary tents out of Tyvek because the material is very tough, water proof, and light. What have you guys diy or modified and for what purpose. Include pics.

Made my tarp. 12’ ridgeline, reinforced with grosgrain. Membrane silpoly. 3” deep cat cuts. 14” beaks, I think. Works really well.Made a few hammocks, but really just for lounging. Made a bag for hanging food. I also made a pretty nice wool cap on a knitting loom. It takes some time at first but once you get the hang of it it’s pretty easy. I used 4 weight yarn (worsted weight) and made the hat fairly large. I then boiled, agitated, and cooled the wool repeatedly, causing the fibers to bind together and form a dense fabric (felt; the process is called felting or fulling). This causes the garment to shrink, and the gaps between stitches to close. It was a really nice hat, but one of my togs tore it up. I just started another yesterday.

>>2787327That knife is some no name eastern european knife. After fall of soviet union. People from ukraine traveled here and prwctive ambulant commerce, bringing cheap goods from russia. Mostly selling utility stuff goods as hand tools etc on a table in irl marketplace.
>>2787599His price must have been equivalent of few cigarette packs.Unusual features abiut it, in case you did not observe. Is that it had a kitchen type of handle.I pressupose that some ex commie worker from ukrainian factories privatized some machines. Copied the shape of the blade from a Rambo movie and missed to shape the ergonomics of the handdle acording to blade. He shaped the handle as one of his knifes he use to cut salami. So here it is Rambo kitchen knife

Was ACRNM the best outdoors clothes every designed by a genius designer's designer?Or was it a total meme made by a hypebeast grifter and supported by Asian incels with an inferiority complex?
>>2785218same, ACRNM is so good but most poorcels on /out/ won't even give it a chance..
As someone who bought a fair deal:It's garbage for extended outings.They're heavy due to lots of heavy zippers.They're cut for fashion a lot of the time, meaning they don't cover you properly and you'll end up cold or wet.The goretex used is usually thin, meaning it's fragile. Fabric choices in general are often psychotic.Did I mention they're expensive as fuck and getting them repaired takes ages?I love having a fair few pockets but there's nothing that acrnm offers that actual outdoors gear don't do better. The usecase for acronym is someone who lives in a wet, moderately cold country, goes on long walks during the weekends and commutes in public transport.

>>2786322Is this bait or did you really miss the point of what he was saying
>>2787293(they're both bait/retarded)
They never seemed to be very useful to me. I don't really understand the point honestly. I have been hiking all sorts of places for years and every time I've tried to use them they just seem like an annoying burden
>>2787294>>2787293Some people do actually use the butt of a hatchet as a hammersome hatchers even come with a hammer on it for this exact purposelike the carpenters hatchet
>>2787423oh yeah absolutely I do that all the time ... and they're both still retarded and/or bait.
Recently bought a carinthia gore-tex bivvy, tried using it just indoors for the first time on a carpet. But for the life of me, I could not fall asleep. My back and shoulders were in a constant state of needing to be popped (its hard to explain) and more importantly, I couldn't really fucking breathe inside the bivvy. I was laying in it with my head as close to the small opening at the top as possible but it still just felt like I was breathing in my own expelled air over and over again. Only violently moving my legs around seemed to pump fresh cold air inside the bag which gave me some comfort for like a whole 2 seconds before going back to breathing in my own air. Opening the zip up further helped only a little bit, but it still wasn't good enough to actually fall asleep for me. Opening it up any further and I might aswell just sleep with just a blanket on me, kinda defeats the whole point of having a waterproof bivvy. Am I using it wrong?
>>2786817>how do you know beforehand if its a sketchy areaYour local dog-shitting park isn't outdoors, aywhere frequented by people is "sketchy". >hes baiting you and is in dire need of counseling and professional helpYou wouldn't know baiting if it fucked you in the ass. I don't mind beginners but you have to pull your head out of your ass and make an effort for yourself, or did your cuck country also ban Youtube tutorials? You should have spent your hundred on a half-decent sleeping bag, you don't need a bivouac sack. Anyway, get a cheap one from Decathlon and a foam mattress, the folding type packs better than the roll, wait for the summer and that's it. You can watch some tutorials on stealth camps and how to select a suitable spot.

>>2787496If that is how you deal with people that take time out of their day to help you being less of an embarrassing moron the fuck are you doing here? Early on you can use a clear plastic tarp, a grommeted tarp of the type for covering firewood or your poncho. You're an uneducable retard and will stay as such no matter what you do. Now go to bed and think about this life lesson.
>>2787499im sorry youre so upset

What headlamps do you guys use that aren't the permanently built in rechargeable battery kind? I got a Nitecore UT27 for camp, which comes with a rechargeable battery, but it's hot swappable for another one or triple aaa batteries. Now I'm thinking about picking up an HM70R 21700 with a powerful beam for walking the trail because it goes with my other 21700 gear. What do you guys use that doesn't have a permanently built in rechargeable battery?
Have a zebralight I bought on recommendation, probably going to buy something more pedestrian. The light it produces is amazing, and using 18650s is a big plus, but it's heavy and the UI is both retarded and complicated. Always wind up nuking my retinas when I wake up to piss in the middle of the night because in my grogginess I can't get the "long click" for the 1 lumen mode the exactly right duration. Good light if you're actively doing stuff that needs light for a long time like night hiking/fixing cars, but as a backpacking piss-light it's annoying
>>2787124That looks nifty. What brand is it? And does it have separate buttons for white and red led?
>>2787352The brand is Sofirn, but it's one of those Chinese here today gone tomorrow type brands most likely. Here's the zon link to it. https://a.co/d/2lhSBF4
>>2787352And no, you have to click through the white to get to the red, but it's only one button push extra. One for on(white) and once more to switch to red. Then long press to cycle through the power levels or quick double tap to switch between strobe modes.
>>2785685pic related is the best one ive ever used. i had other petzl, black diamond, and some amazon shit brand, and they all had annoying elestic straps that loosen up over a short timethis here ive had for 6 years and it has zero give is small, light, and fits into a pocket very easily.the only downside is that its not water resistant, but when it gets wet, it dries up and works agian just fine.
Found coyote shit by the pond. Have heard them nightly for months but never found sign this close to the house before. Have livestock and the wife has a small dog.Looking for advice on a good setup to trap coyotes. I've got a pair of #3 footholds, a jar of bacon grease, some coon paws in salt, and an un-fleshed rabbit hide in salt.Also, if anyone has good tips for other trapping, drop it here.Personally, I like sardines and a dog proof trap for coons or possumAnother good trick is putting aluminum foil over the trap pan and leaving the whole setup in a pan of water.

New thread since we’ve finally made it to page ten.Previous Rudy Thread >>2750015Recently, I had a poor wood dUck brought to me, Do any of you guys ever see Young motherless animals while out? Anybody ever rehab a poor baby lost without its mother? Show me your critters give me some more advice for keeping the smug little ducker alive happy and healthy so hopefully it can rejoin the wild.Status Update: Rudy is doing well and thriving. I took a stick to the eye and have to get reconstructive surgery
>>2787022Glad to hear your eye is improving anon and congrats to the wife on the new job. My wife is doing good but a few more weeks in the brace.
>>2787135I hope the rest of the recovery goes well and you guys don’t have any more issues. Health scares make you realize what’s important and that’s family and time.It’ll be a big transition here and I have to move my schedule around so I’ll be up doing the birds at 4am instead of 6am… but that’s why god invented naps. The neighbor is being a shitbag and I’m going to have to escalate. Wife called the cops because they were ”repairing” a garage and burning (almost certainly) boards covered in lead paint creating a noxious cloud of black smoke in the yard and setting the birds off. Now it’s going to be a whole deal when they do something retaliatory. Why do people have to suck? One of the many reasons why everyone should have acres and acres between them and the nearest neighbors.
>>2787144Dang. 4am is rough. I’ve been having to get up at 6:30 to play bus driver and have been hating it. I won’t complain anymore. Sorry to hear about the neighbors being dicks. Life would be so much easier if people could just be nice. I agree about the acreage. It could be worse though. You could be with me in HOA hell where I got a second notice because my tree wasn’t trimmed as much as they deemed necessary. Perhaps be more specific next time assholes and acknowledge that I did trim a lot rather than say I did nothing. Would love an enough acreage to be in the middle and not see neighbors. Hope your situation improves soon anon. Tell Rudy I said hello.

I don't care about your opinion, I'm going to do whatever the hell I want.>>2787315>Lifting heavy stones while /out/ is based>Anon probably physique mogs you and your ultralight backpacker stick legs.Facts. I'm very lean because hiking and physical work for hours every day just burns calories but these last few outings have just been major workouts, had noticeable effects on gains.For this part of the wall I had to dig down a LOT and move a huge pile of stones out the way, which is what I used to lever up the big one (with the swiss for scale). Some of the stones I moved into position here were easily 100kgs, they don't look it but that's because half of them are below ground, as this is the "staircase" out of the enclosure. so just for the stone sin this one photo I had to move maybe 1000kgs total of rocks and clay soil, then dig through rocky ground with a small entrenching tool, then move a few hundred kilos of rocks into position and that wasn't a one-time thing, took a few goes to find ones that fit and settled in properly.This is going to be a staple of every outing I can do it on now: work out with rocks on a mountain I have just climbed.Keep up the good lifting my nigger.
p.s. I planted the ferns amongst the rocks I placed, which I had dug up from other areas I was clearing, so their roots will grow around the stones and hold them in position. This was actually one of the most significant obstacles I faced, you can't move even a light rock if roots have grown around it, they hold it in place better than any mortar.

>>2787347pic rel. as an interesting aside, no one can see or even get to my stone hut, it is in a very hidden inaccessible secret location, you can't even tell I've worked on it unless you get within 20 feet of the "back" - the angle I took the photos of the ditch. like, you can approach from the "front" and you can't even see anything unless you look right inside.>>2787348thanks grug, if the thread dies, I will make a new hut thread.
