What the hell does "Teo why a oa aeac" mean? It sounds like a code or something.

Any sc/out/s use this?
Thinking of picking one up and just wanted to get the board's opinion first.
I know next to nothing about GPS btw.
And here I am downloading 7.5" topos to the plotter for free when I could spend money on gearfag that runs on badderies!
So how's that ominous, potential emp working for you?
Does your mtn bike helmet have a gopro on top, too?
Biolite much yet?
>>654544
Why are you this mad?
Like I said, I know almost nothing about GPS units.
I just want something small and durable that I can use for brief hikes/shooting sessions in the woods so I can find my way back to my car. No multi-day outings or extreme hiking.

> needs no batteries
Sounds like one 7.5' topo would cover your ao. At least until you learn your way to and fri.
Thinking of hiking uppa mountains to scout for game.
Do you carry a gun while hiking innabush?
>>654080
I do. I'd bring firearms for plinking, hunting, firearm testing (seeing how the gun preforms when dirt and crap gets into it) self defense is at the bottom of the list.
Usually I just bring my mossberg 590, bring couple hand fulls of bird, buck, rifled slugs. Nice being able to have dif loads, gives me more hunting options. Love fresh meat when camping.
If I am feeling the /k/ommando in me. Might bring my AR and chest rig.
If it is just hiking, I usually just have my glock 19 that is my...

There's really no reason not to bring bear spray, when you're hiking in bear country.

I guess I'll have to spray and pray.
How do you not be scared if you are in a tent all alone at night out there?
I can deal with it if I'm on some sort of camping ground with some other people there even if I don't know them, but just all by myself still spooks the shit out of me and I hardly sleep. So how do you cope?
>>653638
the reality is nothing will get you man
no one is out there waiting for you to go to sleep to fuck with you
that animal you heard outside your tent? it's just rummaging around doing normal animal shit, not out to get you
you just gotta get over it. i'm a hobo, when i started i was creeped out every once in a while, i'd just have to remind myself that I was the scary dude sleeping in the bushes that everyone else was afraid of.

It's scary no matter what. That's the point.
Really, by the time the night falls you should be so tuckered out, you don't give enough of a shit. You'll fall asleep in a boiler room with logs being unloaded next room if you're tired enough.
>>653638
Depending on where you live OP. If you got animals that could pose a danger, I.e. bears, cougars, moose, etc. Just practice not leaving food around, prepping your food a lil ways away from main camp, don't be a slob and leave trash around.
While you're up and about, don't be afraid to make some noises to alert animals that you're there. Most attacks is due to them getting startled.
Usually humans are not a problem, just like any thing else there is a what if situation. I've...

While I can understand wanting to return to nature, can't you do it on marked trails and established campsites, or your own goddamn property? I'm sick and tired of chasing yuppie assholes off my land.
>>652812
Post no trespassing signs. That's a start.

>While I can understand wanting to return to nature, can't you do it on marked trails and established campsites, or your own goddamn property?
Most of us do that. There are, however, always assholes that don't.

You know how I know that never happened?
This isn't completely /out/ related but I figured you guys would have the best ideas.
I contract at an unheated factory this winter and we don't have an indoor breakroom. I get to spend breaks in my car. The average coldest it get a here in southern Indiana is in the teens in the dead of winter overnight which is the shift I work. How do I stay warm without running my heater and wasting gas?
tl;dr Have to spend breaks at work in car overnight. How to stay warm without running heater?
>>655577
Answers you'll get on out include: Wool, merino wool, synthetics, down, fleece and space blankets (kek).
Wear layers, avoid cotton, invest in a couple sodium acetate or battery powered handwarmers.
Wtf kind of place doesn't have a cozy breakroom?
I'd quit that job and find a better one. Fuck that shit.
Get a hammock. Lots of threads here with good choices if you know how to read
how far do you usually walk each day when /out/?
It depends.
Can walk 25km in a day but I don't do it often. Usually more like 12-18 km because I goof around, rest an hour or two in the afternoon looking at the clouds etc. I frequently stop to work too (/p/ here) which takes a fair amount of time overall.
>>655384
Sometimes 14 miles other times to the mailbox.
What's the best soft cooler out there?
Whats the best hard cooler out there?
AO, POLAR BEAR, YETI, ETC???

any one that comes free with a case of beer, of course.

But wouldn't you want the beer to stay cold as long as possible?
I'm considering getting into taxidermy, but I'm not sure where to begin. I've cleaned game before, but I've never skinned an animal with the intention of having it mounted. Those of you who have experience tell me what I need to consider before jumping in. Is it worth it? Is it ridiculous hard?
using a robin or just a bird is the best to start with.
i think theres quite some information about it with small birds, theres used to be taxidermy spot close to my home, but it was a temporary thing.
goodluck
>>653533
Around here, there are a few little taxidermy shops and they seem to always have business. I think for a deer it's around 200 or 300 dollars. Maybe more. If I dabble into this stuff, I'll probably start with some kind of small bird but I'd like to be able to mount fish and deer eventually.
That coyote made me kek.

Where can I purchase a BuckBear?
Hi /out/, can we get a thread about self sufficiency?
Basically, I hate my life. I hate that we live in a world where it is absolutely necessary that you work to make money for someone else, and collect a small percentage of that so that you can live.
I want to start learning about gardening, construction, general survival.
I mean, were all going to die. Might as well do something great, interesting, etc.
Is such a unique challenge even possible? Especially for someone like me, I'm completely submerged in the technological world. Would it be...

Do you even have a skill? If you are like most people you produce less at work than you get paid. You are a freeloader in life and you come here wanting us to do work for you, for free. You are a lowly parasite, your plan is unachievable because you can never scrape together $10,000 to get started on your failure. Your life is already over. Happy holidays faggot!
I work for a non-profit. We have a board of directors that are not paid. My boss makes about the same as I do. There's no one getting rich off me, and I help people for a living.
You don't have to work for a corporation that makes other people rich.
>>652515
I do have a skill. I can scrap together 10,000 dollars.
Absolutely necessary was a stretch.
>>652518
That's not really what I'm worried about; there are probably plenty of non profits and volunteering things I could do that would bring me fulfillment. I would like to try Americorp at some point in my life.
I just want to learn all that stuff and realize the dream at some point.
Hey /out/, i am working on a survival guide for an Apocalypse.
so far i have consulted /pol/ and /k/. now i am here to get advise on these topics:
-survivng in rural areas
-rebuilding civlization in the aftermath
the other topics that i need information on is in the guide itself: http://pastebin.com/nKpnPf9K
if you can give me information about any of these topics too, that would be awesome too.
also general bugout bag advise would be appreciated
>>650627
You should ask /k/ they day dream about this shit all the time. /out/ version of bugging out, is more or less our normal /out/ gear, with just more food, water, some documents, some other crap.

I recently moved to Denver, Colorado and I want to start going /out/ more. I go on hikes and go shooting in the mountains, but I want to get into camping, bushcraft, and shit.
However, it seems a bit more challenging than other parts of the country. We don't have an abundance of materials to work with. For example, if I want to build a lean-to, I don't have any grass/ferns/tree branches to use as thatching. Basically we have pine trees(whose branches often start higher than I am tall), some aspen and then... sandy dirt and rocks.
All the cool bushcraft...

You are out west now.
This is actually high desert.
DO NOT FUCK WITH LIVING TREES OF ANY KIND.
The rules are very different out here.

Ummm that's the whole point of this post.

There is no way to pursue your old hobby here.
You can pick some sage to make a sage stick bit not much more than that.
Even collecting dead firewood is frowned upon in many areas.

Does /out/ mountain bike?
If so, where do you ride? What do you ride?
>Northeast: CT, Catskills, Adirondacks, Green Mtns, White Mtns
>2014 Giant Trance X2 27.5
I mountian bike. Mostly around state parks in Central MA, but I've boke around the White Mtns a bit and some mountain trails in Australia.
I used to have a Trek 3500 but currently am riding my old Trek 820 because I had to move and now I'm a poorfag
Mountain biking is my life, I've got a 2014 kona mahuna hardtail, work great just waiting till I can afford a full suspension trail bike.
