Hey /out/, i recently sold my car, and am now looking for a better /out/ing vehicle. I have about 5k that I can spend on it, and am currently looking for one that can handle dirt mountain and desert roads, as well as go innawoods for car camping and such. Pic related, I've been thinking about getting a 4runner. Do you guys think they're any good?
4runners are coveted for a reason.

i think a tacoma with a camper is a better option, even though it only seats 2 thats just my opinion (pic unrelated since its a newer model tacoma and im in the same boat as you and would have to buy first gen tacoma)
A First-Gen Jeep Grand Cherokee with the AMC 4.0L straight-6/Aisin AX-15 5-speed manual makes a great wheeling rig, innawoods rig, and general jack of all trades vehicle. Plus the AMC 4.0 is an absolute beast of an engine that will get you to hell and back without ever skipping a beaet. The only drawback I can think of right off the bat is that they're total pigs when it comes to fuel consumption (14mpg highway/9mpg city roughly), so make sure your trip to hell includes a lot of routes near gas stations. A decent ZJ generally runs for about $2,000, but you can find examples...

What do you guys see in my system? All comments are helpful. I've taken it /out/ a few times before but it's been in separate pieces, now that I have my new bag it can all be organized.
This is my ruck kit. I don't say it's one type of bag or another with acronyms because it makes no difference in how I would use the gear I have my talking...

Why would you want to carry two firearms? Are you planning on hunting? What do you intend to do with that much wire? Why 5 lighters?

After going up and taking a few steps to either side I came down and told him it wasn't safe. Should I just quit tomorrow? Am I not cut /out/ for this?

Are you the same pussy that was bitching about shit being too heavy?

This is far worse.
#41- "3 Day Weekend" Edition
Previous Thread:
>>764382
Fuck Mondays. Takin the day off and gonna try and get some fishin in after running some errands in the morning. Can't beat weekday fishing.
And to the anon trying to identify bass- just remember green will normally be a largemouth while smallmouth are more brown. Slightly different pattern too, most largemouth have a dark line down the center running laterally and smallmouth don't. Although these FL largemouth don't...

I can't remember the last time I saw a spotted bass. Are they in the midwest much? Rock bass are kinda the same, one of those fish that are supposedly in lots of lakes and rivers but I never catch.
>>766720
Just realized, those illustrations are kinda shitty.
Pic related is much more realistic.
How the fuck can girls like this exist? I've been to the Florida keys, beaches all over the east and west coast, Nassau, Mediterranean beaches and more, and I'm not sure I've EVER seen a girl with a rack like that in person.

I got nothin. Almost the weekend, just trying to make it through the work day without getting run over by a car since it's Friday the 13th. I wonder if the fishing will be any good today.
Talk about feeshin.
Buddies hit some shad yesterday in the river...and im sitting here like a gypsy Hocking shit at a flea market.
Fuck I can't wait to get home. To catch shad and maybe try it with my new tenkara rod.

Some shops do cheap tats today if anyone is into that. Gonna try to use some finesse today. Worst case I'll catch sand bass and green sunfish with them.
Saw this "Cafejo My French Press" in the latest Cabela’s catalog (for $40) and thought I’d pass it on.
Clearly, it copied from the Aeropress (one of which I’ve got) but it’s a better design that looks to be more stable and easier to use and cleaner also and can be used with either store bought K-Cup pods or regular coffee in a reusable K-Cup.
Also; Camp Coffee General thread, I suppose.

just went out today and tried to make a shelter like lillys. first time ive tried something like this and holy shit it was alot of work. I only brought a knife and an axe thinking it would be enough but you really need a Saw for this kinda stuff.
A First time mistake i guess. Anyone got some tips and tricks that can help me? Btw huge respect to anyone who has made something like this, post pictures of your shelters?

here is a video of lillys shelter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_n1_-seZkU
not mine. I didnt get any pictures because well, i spent maby 2 hours on just collecting wood that would do me any good.
A hatchet and knife is easily sufficient. Get a job where you use your hands, like roofing or something. This stuff will seem easy then.
Would you?
You can't own land in Russia as a foreigner so no I would not. If they really gave me the land and a job then maybe I would since I'm a neet and I have a huge crush on slavic woman, so why not.
>>758890
One Kamchatka pls
Not only you have to move in Russia which is a shithole already, but they are offering land in shitty regions and in this case double negative is not a good thing. So no, i wouldnt
Lets say that you break your leg in the woods.
No civilization for about 10-20 miles/km.
How would you go about treating it? Any guides?
Cut it off
Wrap it in a splint, try to get saved, die
Stabilize it best I can, try and crawl or hop back, and hope I don't pass out from pain/blood loss or meet something who wants to finish me off.

What's your account
What meals do you cook while /out/? I just bought this mess kit for $6 at Walmart and I've tried cooking in it once, but it sticks like a mother-trucker. What do you guys recommend? I bent a metal fork so it fits in the kit but it's still a little hard to use. Post your mess kits, rate what you like/don't like, and show us what meals you're cooking.

When you go stainless, cooking is painless
I have a german kidny pot mess kit just like the one's seen in vitruovice bushcraft videos
>>749981
I use this kids play cooking set, cost me 15$ and its all stainless,small and light.
Post your region, tips, preservation techniques, recipes, questions and or pictures of your finds. This year I found a total of around 15 lbs over the last week (only 11 was weighed, found in just one small area and split with a partner). We had lots of rain in southeast Michigan, and while not as many warm days, a recent few caused quite a boom in morels. I froze most of mine after slicing, rinsing, and coating with flower. Others were cooked fresh with garlic mustard, ramps and butter. Pic related is 5/9/16

Found yesterday on 5/13/16

Hello /out/! I'm a newbie here and I just went to Walmart and grabbed a bunch of camping supplies for cheap.
I am super interested in getting in the outdoors because as of now I spend every day inside doing the same shit and i'm sick of it but I didn't want to blow a shit ton of money too fast.
Here is a picture of all of it laid out on my bed, i'll reply with a post of every thing that is there and i'll follow up with more pictures of my pack.
I would appreciate any tips and maybe a rating on how I did.
You can see most of it but the knife that is in the sheathe is a Buck 119 that my dad used back in the 80's.
That tent was a steal, may not be the best but for 25 bucks I felt that it would be good for a starter.
The picture I posted with this reply is also my dads mess kit from the 80's.
Here's one of the bags I have with a sleeping bag and you guessed it, also my dad's from the 80's.
Wow! Nice set so far man! Hope you enjoy you camping trip! Cheers!
Hey out!
I've got a racoon problem. I have two cats and generally leave my door open so it's only the screen door which is closed, the screen door is not connected in one corner so the cats can come in and out, but it still keeps bugs out.
Today I went into the kitchen and found a racoon halfway through the screen about to be inside, and one of my cats hissing at it.
I made a loud noise and it went back outside, but not far. So I got my slingshot and smacked it with a 1/8 inch steel ball, it backed up a bit but stayed. Smacked it again, same thing....

Leave out a small dish of antifreeze
>>764963
Cats love antifreeze too so this would likely kill OPs two cats. Sounds like a bad plan IMO.
>>764937
give it a puff of pepper spray next time.
I got bit by something and it itches like fuck and is a strange color. I live in Tennessee. What is it?
>>764491
A red spot.
>>764494
No like what bit me
>>764495
Looks like it was wasp or a spider.
