These fuckers always eat my worms when Im trying to catch bass.
>>2839720Use a smaller one for bass bait.
>>2838142North America actually has dozens of excellent aquarium species especially in the temperate regime, and in some areas this would enable some species to come off of the endangered list. You don't need the rainbow of colors to appreciate the fish. North American native fish are severely under rated, most people don't know they exist and some are endangered.
>>2839738Forgot to include this really cool guy.
This board is so dead/shilled. what a shame. new seasons of Alone has started airing! https://www.history.com/shows/alone/season-12
Do you guys think this show would be more interesting if they raised the amount of items allowed to be brought to 20, but now everything you bring would count towards that, like pieces of clothing, backpack, etc.
>>2825657From the little Cody Lundin has said, most of these survival experts are not properly vetted or are inexperienced as hell.
>>2839643They can't really have more than one actual survival expert per season, otherwise the crew would be stuck out there for years in their huts while the surviving contestants are stockpiling resources and working their way up the technology tree towards nuclear power plants and atomic bombs.
>>2839642That's not much of a change honestly.I thought they needed more biomes, but clearly that was a mistake.I would like to see scenarios with more available calories and hand pick the best bushcrafters for the contestants. Maybe give them each 10lbs of steel etcI also am in the minority that enjoyed S04 and want to see more duos or even trios.Basically I'm tired of solo slow starvation in poor locations and want something more productive where maybe they can build neat compounds. Just cap it at 100 days and split the winnings.>>2839702This would be cool though. Do that.
>>2839643That the barefoot hippie that had to suffer through multiple seasons of Stolen Valor McTwat in an obviously staged drama series about hiking?But yes, its obvious the producers only want maybe three actually decent contestants for the late episodes. No clue what happened this season, they only had one.
Where can i find the list of basic stuff i need to go one or two nights camping in nature?i'v never been camping and i would like to trythank you
>>2836407https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/topics/camping-and-hiking/best-camping-listYou don’t need all this crap but it’s a comprehensive list.
>>2836625Do you want to drive up to a campsite or walk to it? If you haven’t done either I recommend car camping first. But if you want to backpack buy backpacking gear. That way you can test out your backpacking stuff. Then when you check off what you actually use all the time car camping, and keep it under 30 lbs you can graduate to backpacking.
>>2839351Get the cheap zlite closed foam or equivalent at least for a sleeping pad. It’s a good investment and lasts forever comparatively. For discount gear try steap and cheap or gear trade for a cheap sleeping bag in the 20 degree range. Get one in that range because the # you see is for survivability not comfort usually. Now I’m older I use that and a blow up. One because it’s super comfy. 2 because my s2s etherlite is great but if I spring a leak and can’t gear tape it at least I have something. And 3 closed foam makes a good sit pad. Finally look up how to deal with black bears on YouTube. For the most part black bears are like dogs or raccoons, usually pretty use to humans and more opportunistic, so food away from camp. But they still can fuck your shit up if you meet one on a bad day.
>>2836407Water. That's basically it but depending on weather and temperatures I'd also take clothing and a blanket.
I will also piggy back off this thread and ask what medical stuff should be taken for backpacking? Just some bandaids and some ibuprofen or more?

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.
Jet Boils are pre built for convienceMSR is bare bones and you gotta build the kit yourself. I have a Jet boil and recomment them except bring a lighter because the ignator isnt that great. super light weight. and made for backpacking.
>>2839112>except bring a lighter because the ignator isnt that greatOn that note, minor protip, these kind of lighters are great for the job. Sportsman's Warehouse has them in the checkout area but you can probably find similar ones at a smoke shop or something. Barely takes up more room than a regular Bic but makes it way easier to get the fire in close to the burner while keeping your hand at a safe distance.
>>2829600I have this exact model of twig stove and have had almost no issues with it that weren't the fault of my own stupidity. The only thing I would watch out for would be the wind, but with proper planning and/or making a wind shield, you shouldn't have any problems with it. Pic related is a short day hike I did in upstate New York last weekend. Made some pretty good sausage and potato stew with some of the Fosters beer as a base. Highly recommend, and don't let people afraid of soot and finding a handful of twigs tell you otherwise.

>>2833783Who do you think pay for the rangers fighting of poachers? Trophy hunting and safari trips. Who wants a large amount of animals to shoot and are not interested in the decimation of any species? Trophy hunters. Who do you think donate more money into local businesses and communities compared to international charities when it comes to reservations?
>>2834051And what is wrong with that as long as the money they pay goes into the reservation and protection of these animals? Remember that what is exotic for us is not for them.
I love this time of year when all the nosepicker children go back to school and everyone fucks off back to their normie jobs and its just peace and quiet outside. i swam out into the bay this morning and floated there for a good hour today with not a soul as far as the eye could see. peace at last. amen

Most of the shit I've read or come across were retarded and would foreseeable get people into more trouble than they would be any use.Significantly more education needed in the normal behavior department, common sense book, rocky mountains Kathmandu jacket and water bottle. How not to get stranded at a trail head, how to change a car tire, how to jump start a car battery, how to use google maps, how to avoid getting lost by staying on the trial, not wearing new shoes on long hikes. telling people you are going hiking, mosquito repellent. Severe mental illness and why you shouldn't take it solo hiking. How not to take drugs in the middle of nowhere, 35 reasons not to light fires. Being civil to other people: in wallmart and innawoods
>>2835255Nonsense, however you should be reading these before SHTF.>>2836334Your comment is ESOL but good overall point. More important than survival skills is critical thinking and "expert wisdom". If you lack this, than no better time than now to talk to people about it, ask them questions and let them know you've implemented their advice; they'll be happy to share more.
>>2835255>If you need to learn survival techniques from a book, then you're already dead.Bullshit.Everything I ever did in the military and in college and in grad school I did first in a classroom, in a powerpoint or a book.What you SHOULD have said was:>If you learn survival techniques from a book and you never go outside and practice them at length and regularly in a simulated real world scenario, THEN you're already dead.

I was looking into camping/hiking and touching grass again, I had an alice pack in the military a long time ago and that was alright, but is there high tec super light stuff out there now that carrys a lot? Id like a full frame pack that is as light as possible that could carry 50-70 lbs. What about actual waterproof? Or do you still need to wrap everything in garbage bags?
>>2839341>his bag was shredded
>>2836724Need some 5.11 tactical gear with this bad boy. If this came in a more heritage style with leather straps and metal hardware I would get it though the idea is good.
Protip: you can waterproof any fabric with a mix of these two
>>2836406Hunting backpacks are in that territory. But they are stupidly pricey. I got an exo mtn pack that can carry 200 lbs has a titanium frame, and 6400 cu in. But the fucker was 600 back in 2018.
>>2836811I love my Kakwa it’s a great UL pack while retaining some nice features. But I have been hearing of some QC issues recently.
do anons have any fabric/fiber recommendations for clothing that protects against the sun and is not plastic?i assume tighter weaves/knits are also better since there's less air between them, but i also don't want to die of heatstroke

The important things are-Right material for your needs and wants-Right fit for your bodyIf you find one that suits you, check online for reviews.If you really want a suggestion, try woolpower for "performance" merino blends, patagonia for high quality fleece, decathlon for low quality (still worth the price) fleece.
>>2839047Thank you, I think a waxed cotton poncho will be the way to go, as that might be possible to double up as a half shelter, and Ive generally had good experience with ponchos. Gonna consider if perhaps a waxed cotton backpack would be nice, or if leather or loden would be better.
>>2830216I live in socal and really like sun hoodies. There is a reason people from the deserts in the Middle East all wear super light baggy as fuck full body clothing. It’s a similar concept without the Assalamu alaikum.
Hi, guys.This hasn't really got a thing to do with the outdoors. Actually the bugs in picrel are indoors. But I killed like 40+ of them in two hours late at night when I'm really sick and should be resting for my internship early tomorrow. And I hate the feeling of these bugs dropping from the ceiling and flying into my ear and I need to evaluate what kind of pest threat they are. What are they? Do any of you recognize them? How do I get rid of them?>more info coming soon
I think it's over. I think I can decisively determine them as Trechus Quadristriatus. Picrel has the same rainbow/holo sheen as the bugs I smooshed. Great job, anon! According to naturespot.org, you identified a red identification difficulty insect!But apparently, Trechus Quadristriatus (or the four striped ground beetle) first, has no stripes in my version, and second, is carnivorous on other bugs and larvae. So, how do I get rid of them and why are they trying to get into my house? There are 0 bugs inside until they came in. I read that they're potentially looking to nest and breed but what's so attractive about my apartment on the 7th floor? Should I just spray my window net with like DEET or something? Would that be the smartest solution?
>no need to read this unless you want to read my whinging sorryOk. I got some more answers searching up "Why do ground beetles come in my window at night" in German. So, they're attracted to light, heat, food, and a possibility of shelter. Problem: all the solutions mean I have to sleep at like 7PM or breathe in the stifling, stale air of my room with the window sealed shut.So if I've left my window open for years on end, why are these buggers only coming in now?According to German Overview AI:>close windows or secure them with a netAlready have one. They're crawling through somehow. A second one would just mean a second hole to crawl through for them.>reduce light sourcesNever was a problem before. Even on the days when I would leave the light on all night. Not a single beetle. But now that would mean I can't even make my computer screen too bright.>seal cracksI can't physically fix a screen window protector to my window. The student dorm doesn't allow most modifications unless they're temporary like my window net.>clean regularlyThe window was cleaned a month ago but is still cleaner than most people's windows (you can see even from the ground floor)
>>2839431If they're looking for bugs and not your stuff, I'd just let them be. Aside from the ick factor of having bugs in your place, they seem like they're the type to have, ones that will potentially eat other destructive insects that would also like to make your home theirs too. They'll probably disappear just as suddenly as they appeared. If you're really concerned, get some sticky traps and place them strategically. You'll see what else is crawling around that you're not seeing too. Deet will do nothing for these. It's for insects that are attracted to your body heat, sweat and the CO2 in your breath.
>>2839431>Great job, anon! According to naturespot.org, you identified a red identification difficulty insect!I took your first picture and cropped it to just the lower beetle. I ran that through google lens with "<5mm Germany" added in the context window. It was the first to come up. I was thinking it looked like a ground beetle with it's raised up stature, but the ones I'm familiar with are all over 1cm. But when I searched for "Trechus quadristriatus size" I got a result in the range you were looking for. Lucky guess and AI assisted search, not much personal entomology experience aside from recognizing the general body shape of a ground beetle.
>>2839408Where I live there's sometimes these 'hatches' of Boxelder bugs, and theyll just swarm out of nowhere, and they like hiding underneath siding on houses. Ill not see them for a while and then suddenly one year ill be killing a few a day in my house. Maybe there was just a big hatch of these little bastards and your apartment with the direction it faces just happens to be the spot they want to go. Maybe a prevailing wind is blowing them against the building. Could see if they'll be attracted to 'Fly Paper/Ribbons', and if they are then that'll help keep them contained. Maybe get some carnivorous pitcher plants?

Yes. Day 3, could F sleep, delirious, nausea and shaking. Miles from civilisation. Day 4 the night was vomiting and bad stomach. Vomited 6 times or something. I think it was h pylori infection getting a stranglehold because I didn't eat for the first few days, not enough anyway. Been ill since, about 2-3 weeks and probably need antibiotics.

>>2838669In my opinion he did the right thing staying put. The weather was terrible and challenging even for people looking for him. He likely couldve gotten lost or injured himself by trying to move. He was at a good, open and obvious spot for search and rescue to find him. Only risk he took was banking on his wife reporting him missing, but thats low risk in this scenario.
