I'm looking for a jacket like this but with a light water proof shell on the outside.

Any suggestions for a bag would be nice too. Anywhere around the 30-40 litre mark would be much appreciated.
Thanks guys
I'd recommend buying your insulation and water proofing separately. I have an eVent rain jacket and then can choose what to wear underneath depending on the forecast. Also can stay dry from the rain and dry from sweat if I get to hot.
Just a thought.
>>754239
So this original hoodie would be good insulation?
I like the look of this. I should be able to cycle with my pack, stay dry and not sweat too much right?

>>754247
That looks good. Something to consider about fleece is that it has to stay dry to stay effective. Also, it's not going to pack small and will take up a lot of space in your pack.
I'm thinking of moving into a tent in the woods to get away from society. I'm not gonna go full survival mode though. I have a way of getting money, so I'm still going to go grocery shopping. But is there anything I need or should know?

Are you UK based?
How are you going to handle winter?
>>754152
I live in Norway. I guess I'll just have to buy a winter tent and a winter sleeping bag and make campfires and such. If it gets to bad I can always go to my parents home. I do not plan on staying in the deep, deep woods.

what you gonna do, work your life away so you can pay for him but not have the time to teach him shit? that is no way to have a kid. you need to be with him as much as possible, like seriously all the fuckin time so you can teach the little bastard how not to be one of the myriad shit kids infesting the world with parents who have more work hours a week than sense. if you have a child it's your responsibility to make it the best you can, not to fuckin pay out dosh. success isn't about the money anon, not even a little...

Hey /out/
What's your guy's opinion on Moby fishing nets? Specifically the brook. I just bought one for my father's birthday and I need to know it's quality or if I should take it back. There's not a single review of the product online is it's kinda touch and go for me.

treble hooks get stuck really easily in the small mesh.

Any other complaints?

Hi /out/,
Currently working like fuck thesedays and I've just lost all motivation to go /out/.
Anyone had to deal with this shit before? I don't know what's wrong with me... I have all this fucking gear but just not using it since every time I get home on a Friday I just want to stay in bed til 12 all day and fuck around at home until Monday...
Major /out/ pictures thread in order...
>>753599
I have the opposite.
I work long 48 - 60 hour weeks and lately I especially feel the drive to get out. The things I used to enjoy.. TV, alcohol, video games, weed, going to bars with friends to try and pick up women, boxing... all of those things don't amuse me anymore. They seem hollow.
Ask yourself this Anon.
Why do you work so much? Is it to earn more money? What will you do with that money? Will you buy a new car to impress people? Will you buy new clothes to impress people? Will you buy...

Don't be a prisoner of the consumerist system Anon.
Be kind. Wear what you like. Ask yourself if these material things are actually worth your respect or if they're just proof that the acquirer of said object is so asleep and plugged into the system that they're willing to spend their lives wasting their time earning money to purchase things they don't need just so they can impress their peers; because it's what advertising has told us will make us happy.

So I took this picture of a spider by Laguna Beach and I have no idea what species of spider this is. So /out/ if you can help out with the Identification of this spider I would appreciate it.
Might as well make this an I.D thread.
I can help I.D trees and plants

Hey /out/, I hope this is the right place to ask this: What is a reasonable speed for movement through a heavy blizzard through mountainous terrain, assuming peak human capabilities and ideal equipment? Need to know it for a piece of fiction.
Thanks in advance.
As fast as your crocs may carry you.

Good question OP. As you probably surmised, it is a lot of work trudging through snow for any significant distance for any extended period of time. Physical energy expenditure wise, I mean.
The increase in your energy expenditure is obviously proportional to snow depth and the condition of the snow as well as steepness, roughness of terrain, obviously. Is it fresh, light and fluffy snow? or is it hard and crusty? or deep and densely packed?
Some snow you can walk over the top of even when its deep. Most snow you're...

even this maybe over optimistic
0.5 mph could easily be a max speed under certain conditions.
I haven't had poison ivy in a few years. I recently went out with my dog and there was a bit of poison ivy I tried to walk around, but my dog might have gotten in it.
Anyways.
>Rash in small amount, a moderate amount on front of balls, reaching up the middle portion of bottom of shaft just below the head
It looks like the start of a poison ivy/oak/sumac rash to me, at least from what I can remember. But is it possible to have it only affect my genitals and nowhere else on my body? I went /out/ yesterday and noticed it a few...

OP again and it only itches when I fuck with it, and even then it lightly itches for a minute and then goes away. Did I just get a really light case? The only cases of Ivy/Oak/Sumac I've ever had were extreme.

I have a few bullet related questions for /out/. The first is about home defense; should I go for 9mm, 22lr or 45 ACP? Where I live I can get 22lr and 9mm in hollow point but not 45 ACP.
The second is game related; 30-06 or 308 for deer and bear? Can one rifle do it all or should I get 2?

Thanks brother
>>753023
30-06 if you really want that bear to not rape you. Bears have taken .308 and still charge without flinching. 45 for home as it has a lower chance of penetrating walls and hitting something you don't want to hit. Use hollow points. But with 9mm you get higher capacity and that's what I carry in public. 40 is useless.
Hey /out/, I was wanting to see your local lookouts.
Also, off-roading discussion is welcome
>>752880
about 30mins from my house... mostly paved, so it's not a real exciting ride. Good ride for engine break-in miles though.
About an hour by moto, plus another 45min hike.
From a fire lookout at the summit.

Here's another view above my small tourist town, pretty easy dirt trail headed up, no 4x4 needed

That's a beautiful view man, also what kind of bike do ya have?

Great shot! We have a local firetower here, but I don't know if I have any pictures on hand.
Really want to buy a kayak as I just moved near a very large lake. Wondering what your opinions are on sit-in vs. sit-on kayaks and what the advantages of each are. I'll just be using this in a lake and a slow-flowing river.
Thinking about buying

Does / has anyone ever carried an airgun while out?
I've been looking at breakdown .22s, but I can carry a lot more ammo for a pellet gun.
Any good options available? I feel like there may be a niche market for it.
>>752834
are you hunting squirrels?
Op your pic's pistol is a crossman co2. There's a few versions of it but it's wildly popular in the modding community with a lot of manufacturers creating mods for it.
Its what I'd get if I wanted a micro hunting gun
>>752834
caliber alone is meaningless. My full 12 fpe .177, shooting pic related will easily outperform the one you posted.
That said - air rifles are effective against small game - I'm talking rabbits at 30 yards - wether you use a .22 or .177.
You're looking at around 8-10 pounds of rifle though. You could carry a pcp, as they are lighter, but then you are limited to 80-100 shots (might be more than enough for an outing, but you're screwed if it isn't).
In general, I'd recommend...

Don't know if this is the right board for this.
I want to try unicycling.
What unicycle would be best to start out with? A 20" or a 24"?
I want a bike that is good for learning, but also capable to do tricks and jumping (not drops).
I am 170 cm (about 5'7") and my inseams are about 30 inches.
>>752731
1- this board is slow, no need for bumps after a couple minutes
2- probably not the best place
>>>/n/
>>>/asp/
3- just get on 2 wheels
>>752736
Have threads there already. Everyone is sending me all over the place.
>>752749
I still think 2 wheels are better.
But 24" seems huge for a unicycle. The few I've seen where people do tricks seem to have 20" wheels. It's probably just a front wheel from a BMX bike.
