In the state for a couple weeks and plan to take advantage of the outdoors, nothing I hate more in camping than being a patch of dirt considered a site with families to my left and right. Any natives know some primitive spots I can head to for a couple nights, with a low likelihood of seeing any other people?

San Rafael Swell. Dirt roads in and out. Very remote. Beautiful red rock desert canyons. Miles and miles of hiking and biking trails.
Thread bookmarked for interest. I pass through UT every now and again.
I spent a little time in Utah over a few trips. My fave spot was Capitol Reef. There was no one there when I went (I think it was late March), but I'm sure you could find those figures.
I saw a thread about crayfish in the spring, but is anyone as excited as I am about frog gigging?

I don't know how to do this.
hey /out/, i've been told that styrofoam coolers can hold ice for much longer than basic IGLOO and Coleman Coolers. is this true? also Cooler thread.
>>770525
What's the bro science behind that allegation?
>>770576
Styrofoam is used on the space shuttle.
>>770577
But coolers use the same thing. It's just contained under plastic so it would last longer
going into tick territory soon and need advice on which base layers are good at preventing bites from ticks, mosquitoes, etc.. pls help.
Just use permethrin on whatever you're wearing.
Who else innawoods right now?
Greetings from scandinavia!
(Short trip at a local laavu, just to get to sleep outside. Better than sitting at home, i thought!)
Aand i managed to post the picture upside down. Well, my bad!
Damnit. Do you have many of those structures over there? I assume you live in Finland?
Where in Finland do you live?
I'm thinking about moving to Finland.
Southern finland, and yes there are plenty of freely available laavus around. And they tend to be unoccupied for the trend of sleeping outdoors is declining imo. People just do day long powerwalks and cycling trips in spandex clothing.
You can just travel to finland, and still enjoy all the outdoors we have over here (thanks to the worlds best law, "jokamiehen oikeus", everymans right). In a nutshell, you're allowed to hike and camp temporarily wherever you want, even on private property.

REI Outlook 40 is nice. Not sure if they still make it or not. I'm sure they have something else that's equivalent to it.

Sorry, it's Lookout 40, not Outlook.
So what are /out/s opinions on Quechua brand? They seem like one of those brands that are dirt cheap, but not because they save up on materials. Don't get me wrong, I have some good gear too, but I don't really feel like it's worth taking with for weekend drinking trips in the wild.
Also budget camping thread I guess... would love to know some other options except thrifft shop.
>>769905
Yeah it's basically shit quality knock offs on 50% of the real deal, which is imo overpriced since in my experience they don't last half as long as the real brand equivalent. I'd rather buy even cheaper other off brands or milsurp shit for drinking trips. Only quechua stuff that is simple in design is worth its money, like ccf pads or cooking pots, microfiber towel, baselayers or maybe a tarp and stuff like that. Their other stuff is mostly over designed to look "technical" for the casuals, with...

What are /out/'s throughts on using machetes or kukris? Is there any reason to buy/use them outside the jungle and in a place like New England?
Who keeps making this thread, and why?
Sheddies and kukris are of limited actual bush use unless you have lots of slashing and slicing to do (i.e. a jungle or clearing prickers and brambles from your leachfield). A kukri has a little more chopping power but even then it's not a great difference from a heavy sheddy. Why is it so hard to discern which tools are and aren't right for the job at hand? Fuksaik

>Why is it so hard to discern which tools are and aren't right for the job at hand?
Probably because you obviously have never used a kukri.
>>769672
you could do that with a sheddy as well, it doesn't mean it's the right tool for the jerb. they're still better at slashing than chopping.
also i'll have you know i'm a black belt in Bando and have had extensive training in combat with a kukri so I'm quite intimately familiar with them. i certainly wouldn't take it choppin' if i had a choice.
Hey /out/, not a regular here but I didn't know where else to ask this simple question.
I want some kind of bowl like pic related to burn things in, kind of a little sacrament I'd like to do outdoors, pour some gas on a personal item and burn it for some catharsis.
Where could I find something like that and what should I use? Pic related was some shit on pinterest I found on image search so that's no help.
Also I figure some lantern fuel in a bowl like this is relatively safe outside, right?
>>769401
A good 100% portland cement mixture and fiberglass reinforcement mixed in. You can make your own.
>>769415
Never done anything like that before, but I love the idea. Could you point me in the right direction for some diy advice?
