Who was the bigger /out/ faggot?
>>617608
Treadwell. Mcandless just got himself killed. Treadwell got his GF killed as well.

Treadwell. Mcandless just got himself killed. Treadwell got his GF killed as well. Also he did it all for notoriety and his stupid documentaries and it was all phony bullshit. McCandless may have been delusional but he did it for himself and we only know he existed because he died, not because he wanted to famous.
I still feel bad for both of them, but this is nature.
>>617614
I don't feel bad, they both knew the risks they were taking.
They are both pretty based. I think bear dude had a mental disability though.
Just got off hiking the Pacific Crest Trail.
From the border of Mexico the border of Oregon and Washington.

Why didn't you go through Washington?
>>617046
Didn't feel like hiking through Washington in late October, all of November and early December. On top of this the elevation change was on par, if not worse, than the section in the High Sierra which I found pretty taxing. After hiking 6 months I was pretty worn out.

Been away from this website for far too long.
Pls help me choose between these two knives
I know they have slightly different applications but either would be useful to me.
I already have a mora bushcraft knife and wetterlings bushman axe
Also a thread about the best high end but not crazy money large fixed blade knives would be good.

>I already have a mora bushcraft knife and wetterlings bushman axe
what a gullible little gear queen you are.
>>616023
eh, they've both seen a lot of use and work incredibly well together. I want to upgrade the knife for times when I don't want the weight of the axe, packing one big knife instead of a small one + axe.
It's a massively gearfaggy thread, but for practical reasons
Guess this would be a good place to ask.
I'm looking for a knife to accompany my GB Wildlife Hatchet.
I absolutely love the blade design on the Fallkniven S1, however the handle is a little unappealing to me.
Does anyone have the S1, thoughts?
Are there any other knives with a really similar blade design, but a nicer handle? I'd prefer a wooden handle and full tang is a requirement.
Ok /out/
I've been going hiking a lot since early this spring. The most I've done is a few long day trips and a bunch of shorter ones. These are great, but I really want to start doing overnight trips.
What are good bags for 1-2 night trips? I've read that 35-50L bags are good for that purpose.
Also general pack and bag thread I guess.
>>615879
It depends on your gear. A 35L will be useless if you have a huge synthetic sleeping bag and an 8 pound tent.
>>615884
OP pic is the bag I have been leaning toward. Osprey Kestrel 48, it's currently $175. Not really experienced with packs, but it seems like a pretty good price /quality.
Are there any other notable bags of that size for around the same price?
>>615897
I have a S/M Kestrel 48 and love it. You can get the dark grey one for $155 on Amazon right now. It's light and you really can't go wrong with Osprey since you're basically buying it for life.
Pants thread.
Looking for /out/ pants for hiking/camping/casualwear.
I have a pair of zip off convertible pants from Gander Mountain, guide series trailhead. They're very light and comfy enough to sleep in, but they kind of make me look like a /k/ommando for doing any thing other than hiking.
Would like a pair of /out/pants that I could wear casually too. Something that fits like jeans, only is comfortable enough to hike in.
Pic is Kuhl pants. They're expensive. Anyone have other options?
I wear Patagonia Quandary pants most of the time. They go from work to climbing and back with just a quick dusting-off of the chalk.
Fjallraven Keb Gaiter masterrace.
Post more pants
I'm planning on doing a little EU at an old abandoned textile mill right outside of my college. This will be my first of this scale, so what things should I keep in mind while creeping around?

while a little something to keep methheads and hobos away might come in handy, it also makes you max suspicious when the cops arrest you for breaking into that shithole.

Will probably turn misdemeanor trespassing into a felony.
Gun is probably not worth it. You're not Strelok in the zone, there are no bloodsuckers, leave the mak at home.

I am looking for the most advanced and toughest Outdoor Equipment of our time.
What items come in your mind when you think about a futuristic outdoor setup?
titan mugs, ceramic blades? extreme long-life headlamps? super light self inflating shelters? intelligent clothing?
nEW concepts and innovations are welcome.
!post your kit list for this mission!
In cyber age 2015 we use this. I think it is pretty gud. It heats up everything. You don't need shoes while you sit in the cold.
What movie is that from?

So next weekend I embark in a 3-4 day kayak trip in 10,000 islands FL. I will be launching from goodland and spending the first night on Coon Key. This is the first time I have gone island camping.
My long time friend will be accompanying me in a single person kayak rated for open water. I will be using the Helios 2 inflatable in the picture. So any advice? Ive done desert camping, backpacked numerous ranges, retired army.

watch for falling coconuts

I would be more worried if it was a three hour tour... a three hour tour.
Bump with random mangrove pic.
We did about 7miles this day
Coon key from launch is only 2.5 miles
So I know a lot of folks here have such nice things to say about brands like timberland, merrel, Solomon and Columbia. And it seems /k/'s favorite flavors are Bates, belville, and danners....
But what about all the other brand of hiking boots you see at places like Big5 and Sports authority. Bearpaw, Denali, itasca, and Hi-Tec are a few that I see for reasonable inexpensive prices. But what is /out/ experience with such brands? Any recommendations or horror stories.
All I'm looking for is a waterproof, all black workshoe that could also be used comfortable trekking from work in a SHTF scenario. I want the shoe/boot that is reliable and worth the moneys. My limit is about $100 but I don't mind going over $20-$30
Let me correct myself
Color is not so important, and neither is brand. I just need a good pair of a boots/shoes that will last me more than 2 years
i like asolo tps. very comfortable, dry quickly, waterproof
on extended hikes with shit on your back they quickly begin to feel like an extension of your leg/foot and it's almost like you arent even wearing a boot.
Often they would be the last thing i would take off after setting up camp b/c my crocs were only moderately more comfortable (though much more breathable)
My brother wears hi-tec boots for work, and for hiking. He seems to like them. I can't vouch for them personally.
Merrell Moabs are an /out/ favorite and can be had for around $120. I have a pair and love them. Merrell often has other shoes at mall shoe stores like "shoe dept" and they're pretty nice.
/k/ boot choices are fine for work, but bad for hiking. Danner are awesome boots but not exactly hiking boots. I wear all black Timberland work boots (very similar to bates/galls brand), and tried hiking in them once. 2 mile hike and my feet hated it.
Stumbled across this dude recently. I'm not one for proclaiming a king of /out/ but he's definitely contender.
>lived alone for nearly thirty years in the mountains of Alaska in a log cabin he had constructed by hand near the shore of Twin Lakes.
The full thing isn't available on youtube, but i found a torrent.
Here's a Google Drive link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3jQi-AsNnWVXzBjbFNWdzBkdXc
>>612261
Yep, he was hard core, I hear a lot MGTOW's trying to claim him for their own.
I'm not sure I'd be strong enough to spend as much time alone in the wilderness as he did but I sure would like the chance.
>>612261
Holy shit you fucking newfag. Do you really think /out/ isnt aware of dick Proenneke?
Please next tell me about Ray Mears, he isnt discussed much either.
>>612267
posted DL link for three amazing /out/ themes films. Why are you fucking whining you faggot? And why did you bump this thread if you think it's so irrelevant?
If you had a gf in a wheelchair and wanted to include her in your outdoor activities, how would you do it?

Hello /out/,
I've been seeing a lot of patch threads lately and I felt like it's the right time to lend a hand.
For those of you not familiar with Kommandostore, we're a company spun off of /k/ which sells a lot of military surplus clothing and equipment along with teeshirts, patches, and other goodies we custom manufacture.
I'm posting here now, because KommandoStore is doing a run of patches for /k/ very soon. I've got a graphic team already working on prepping the designs for production, it would be trivial for us to throw in...

Run 100 each of the bear at the table, the shield with the ursa major, the mora shield, and the cairn kicker.
All 100% embroidered w/ merrowed edge and iron on backing.
Don't run them where they look like hammered dog shit with zero definition on the bears face. Make a better cairn kicker patch than the shit that was just produced. Maybe offer different constellations in the shield patch. Some people wanted Orion, others the Southern Cross, etc.
Plz save us ivan

just fuck my shit up
Does /out/ use nature drugs?
>>610879
I've done plenty of mushrooms throughout my years and I don't really enjoy them at all. I've done LSA quite a few times as well, and though it's interesting the purge makes it not quite worth it, and not really functional for being /out/. Mescaline was alright but I only did it once, I don't know much about it. DMT is great, but gets old pretty quick and isn't fun for actually doing stuff. DMT and LSA require extraction though.
LSD will always be my preferred /out/ drug, and it's...
