Hello, /out/. Forgive me if this is an usual kind of shitposting this board gets since this is the first post i do in this board, but since there is a shit ton of controversies and people arguing about what to do and not to do in a survival scenario contradicts what some people say, is there any kind of tip or rulebook that has been confirmed to have the least amount of facts that has been proved wrong, or, in general, to be the most correct?
Pic related, ive seen no one so far talk bad about the SAS survival guide.
It's not like there isn't a book thread or anything already

>that has been confirmed to have the least amount of facts that has been proved wrong
confirmed or proved wrong by whom?
I personally didn't find this book very useful. Almost everything in it is either obvious, or explained too superficially to be useful in practice. I spotted a few "facts" I most certainly don't agree with.
John Wiseman's book is by no means a bad book, but it claims to be the ultimate guide to surviving anywhere, and it's not.
Which is the best Great Lake and why is it Lake Huron?
State or Province;
Lake you're close to
What's there to do?
Huron, superior, ontario/michigan, erie. in that order
they're all better on the canuck side anyway
I live in niagara on the lake
Lake Ontario is trash but the Niagara river is chill af. This summer me and my friends did a twelve km float to the mouth of the river.
Lake Erie is bretty good if you know the right beaches.
Lake Huron is based though, tobermory is GOAT

A good one?
What's /out/'s opinion on hunting in Africa, in non canned hunts and for species that are Least concerned.
Anyone know where I can go do that?
>>605911
If that is indeed the case, then it's no different from hunting anywhere else, silly.
>>605911
You can still do big game hunting with those criteria. Cape buffalo is least concerned and hunting those is both dangerous and rewarding, plus you are injecting a serious amount of money into the local economy by doing one of those hunts.

hi /out/. I've never been here before; please be kind.
Looking to rent a cheap wood furnace cabin in the middle of nowhere (ideally in the New England area, but I can move around) for a literary month of isolation. Anyone have any recommendations, advice, experiences with similar endeavors?
pic unrelated because I don't really know what's contemporary on this site anymore.
Do you have any experience outdoors?
Have you ever been camping?
What food are you going to bring?
Is it near water or do you have to bring a month worth of water?
What are you going to do for fun?
Why are you doing this?

>Why are you doing this?
did you read his post?
>>605427
OP I'd look up airbnb type accomodations, you can get some off the grid style cabins and stuff through there, which can be nice. no idea whether its possible in your part of the world though. dont know how "isolated" you're actually wanting to be. but if youre there for a whole month, it'd be good to get a place in the woods but near enough to a small...

I'm actually primarily going to be reading and maybe keeping a journal. I picked up 14 boxes of books for free off a dude on craigslist and I want some time just for tearing through them.
So, in regards to electricity, I can work without it. My accommodations would be ideal if the main light source was candles and my only sources of heat being a wood stove/furnace. Just wanna read and chop wood.
My friend and I are going on a road trip to Nevada and possibly California. Do any of you guys have any suggestions for abandoned places we can explore? We're coming down from Alberta and are looking for some really cool places, like airplane boneyards or power plants, cool shit that Canada is lacking, though any suggestion is welcome.

I hear there's an old air base about 20 miles SW of Rachel. Don't mind the signs.

Any interest in Native American sites?

Watch thread?
watch thread.
this is an SNDA65. It's a tank.
wow I think thats the exact same watch I have lol. I just need to get a wrist strap like yours. Mine came with one of those bulky metal ones that I find super uncomfortable so I hardly wear the thing.

It's a good watch, mate.
Those types of straps are called NATO or sometimes G10s. ZULU straps are similar except they have rounded buckles.
Here in the Northern hemisphere, hunting season is near. Use this thread to ask questions, give advice, swap recipes, and tell stories about the humane harvest of delicious wild protein.
Pic related is my newest flexible hunting tool. 357 Magnum carbine. With low powered .38 handloads this will take all types of small game with low noise (think .22 rifle quiet but much heavier bullet) and with full-house 180gr. 357 magnums it can reasonably take whitetail deer out to 100 meters.
OP has been hunting upland, small, and large game for 21 seasons now, not much waterfowl...

OP here. This is one of my favorite recipes and I strongly recommend it for new hunters. Rabbits are easy to find, easy to kill, easy to clean, and extremely delicious in a dish like this.

Should I abort? I'm trying to do new things while i'm in college because fapping/games every weekend is getting stale, especially when all my suite mates are out being real people.
>>600297
if you are really badly out of shape and it requires backpacking in you might want to re think it.
but other than that no. you should try it out you might like it. you might even make a friend. but living in a cabin isn't really camping. in my opinion it is worse because you have to deal with the animals that makes cabins their homes.
also people make fun of other races, you probably do it too nigger, but once you actually meet someone you think of them as a person not a stereotype, right? well all...

Can we make a very subtle Dick Proenneke /MGTOW patch?
Just his face no lettering or maybe some stickers?
>>601730
Are you that guy who's still trying to make a MGTOW commune in "colorado/new mexico?" You might want to get a bit farther along with that before making patches.
>>601769
Not the same guy but much more culture needs to be build before an actual 3D community can come together. I my estimation even real planning stages for such an endeavor is at least a year away.
I think the patch should be his head, iconic beanie and all.
Im going innawoods in a few days. only for one day and im gonna sleep out there too.
Its my first time going innawoods and i was wondering if you guys had any good tips, as well as, any core things i should bring or remember.
I got a glock 20, so that should cover me in terms of defense for the most part i think. Got a pack with a little sleeping bag, i just plan on rolling it out on the ground, maybe invest in a little tent later on. Also a few MREs.
I got plenty of basic stuff, like matches, tinder, flashlight, knife, etc.
you'd be surprised how little you actually need bro.
Heres some bare essentials
-Water container (SS or Ti)
-Water filter
-lighter( or firesteel if you wanna seem edgy)
-hatchet or small forest axe( brand is up 2u)
you have MREs
-tarp (getting cold outside so duct tape a emergency blanket on it)
hammock or tent? up2u
-100ft or cordage
basicly it....beside your firearm w/ 2 extra spare mags and maybe a 50rd box.
>>602410
100ft or cordage? what do you mean by that? and why.
yeah i got four 15 round magazines of some hot 10 mm loads. I dont even have bears in my area, and im well equip for even that.
I have no filter at the moment, but i have a few excellent contains for the occasion. Also something for boiling water/cooking in.
No hatchet at the moment, but for a one day one night excursion i think i wont need it right?
10mm. safety: always off.
