Depends where you live desu
Bear Grylls is pleb but it's always a good base to build on
The best you can do is watch him then go out and learn by experience
>>718135
Ive been looking uo videos on jewtube about shelter building and i saw a book about it on amazon. I live in Washington state so a lot of forest and its almost always damp and wet.

Ive always kind of thought that bear grylls was like the meme of outdoorsmen
I'm planning on doing some solo backpacking for the first time in 2 weeks. Its only going to be 2 days and 1 night. Here is most of my gear. Tell me what you think and if I'm missing anything:
Packed down jacket, rain coat, deck of cards, waterproof matches and tinder, radio, paracord, binoculars, hat, first aide, moleskine notebook, watch, compass, eating utensil, hand warmers, cheap rain poncho, sunscreen, glow sticks, lighter, SAK, hand sanitizer, flashlight, ibuprofen..., tent stakes, fingerless gloves, bug spray, maglight, two bags of dehydrated food, pot.

>2 days 1 night
if you have clothes you'll make it, everything else is extra
>>718108
If you have rain jacket then why ponco?
Also what's the point of fingerless gloves?
And why that much paracord?
Also I would say you need almost none of what is most likely in that first aid kit.
where is the mora?
Hey /out/doorsman. /k/ here. I have a goal that I would like your input on.
I want to hike pic related from the West side. If you want to Google it for reference it's Mt. Timpanogos in Utah. For the sake of challenge, I want to do it before the snow melts.
I hiked Baldy (a smaller mountain in front of Timp) yesterday with my dog. To stay light I took water, a knife, and fire starters. It was an elevation climb of 3k feet over 2.8 miles. To summit Timp, I would need to go another 3.4k feet up and 1.4 miles of linear distance. I would probably switch back enough...

you really shouldn’t be climbing anything like that in the winter without an ice axe and fall arrest training/practice.
Also there's a serious avalanche risk in the spring , I would avoid until the summer and return next winter as well.
>>717979
>Is this goal stupid/risky?
What, hiking on a snow covered 11'000 ft high mountain solo with no previous experience, minimal gear and even fewer knowledge on avalanches?
Sounds like a good idea to me.
Bringing your dog along?
Brilliant!
Definitely more badass than a tank of helium, I'll give you that.
Have fun.
Anyone here do any gold panning or mining? recently found out that there is an old gold, silver, and sapphire mine in the family and was planning on checking it out this summer.
All i will tell you guys is that its in montana, there are old stream beds, but no flowing water on the property.
looking for advice and guidance on how to go about this

I know who you are.

alright, I live in San Diego and I'm looking to go backpacking. Last trip I did was 2 days and 2 night, and that was far too short in my opinion.
Any ideas? I'm currently looking at Cleveland National Forest or even maybe a part of the PTC then connect into the Cleveland National Forest?
Problem is I have no car.
>>717773
Sandyeggo fag here, where was your 2 day trip, I want to do it.
>>717773
Do the PCT
Also a whales vaginian
will monitor this thread
I dont know any routes longer than 3 days
Hi /out/.
Couldn't decide where to ask this but since the question at hand will be more or less bushcraft related I'm gonna leave this here.
I'll be short.
Let's say that you and some of your friends have been somehow thrown back in time and you're forced to fend for yourself.
Being familiar with bushcraft you manage to set up camp and traps and whatnot. You spend a few years there barely managing to survive. You and some of your buddies one day find plants and then proceed to planting.
Your tools are made of stone, wood and flint.
You...

Stop being a lazy fuck. I just Googled and found pages of links related to primitive metallurgy.
>>717658
Well op the problem is scale and work to results ratio. Let's say you find a location with surface ore, then you take the time to pick and crush the pieces, make a clay oven to smelt the pieces, make some Good quality coal to burn or just store enough dry wood to do the job. Then you collect whatever metal is left after your first burning, you then melt and skim the metal using a few stone tools, then you pound your metal with round stones over bigger stones to get a rough hook shape of low purity metal that will...

what did people first use to make steel? in what shape did they find carbon, did they just use crushed charcoal?
First time going /out/ on a 4-day trail work backpack trip. I found this sweet little number similar to pic related and was wondering if it would it be a bad idea to wear that on the trip since it's a snow suit. But this is oregon and rain is forecasted.
>>717155
There's only one way to find out.
>>717155
You will undoubtedly overheat and have to remove it. Those things are designed to go 40 mph+ in blizzard conditions.
The typical /out/fit among the trail crews in Oregon are rubber coated overpants (kinda like waders, but without the boots) and a durable waterproof jacket.
Recently, I've been running into a certain abandoned prospect while coming down from a regular hike up the southeast side of The Sisters, a mountain right next to Charleston Peak near Las Vegas. It's marked on the USGS map I own of Charleston Peak, but it's not registered on any of the state mine lists that I could get my hands on.
The place itself consists of a run-down shack (marked "Prospect" on the map) and two tunnels (both marked "Tunnel" on the map); the first is just north of the shack and the second, which I have not seen myself...

Hey /out/ I was about to buy pic related with my dividend. What do you think? Any experience with it? Anything better that you would recommend? I like the polar fleece, and the neck gaiter.
>>716078
The brand is overpriced and hit or miss.
I recommend a local brand if you know any.
>>716091 gotta agree with this guy their shit is so overpriced , I've never used any of it so I can't really speak to their quality but my god unless you just like to burn money shop somewhere else
>>716078
>Arc'teryx
Decent stuff, WAY over priced at retail, wait for 40% off or more sales for that brand.
Other brands that compare well Outdoor research, REI, Cloudveil, Exoficcio, even sometimes black Diamond (still a little over priced, )
Mine's a quick 5 minute drive and a 15 minute walk down on a ridge by the river. Got a small sandbank. Only thing that sucks is deer frequent the area so it's tick haven. It's not that far from a park so in my favorite weather (Rain, snow, chilly weather) I almost never have to worry about running into anyone out there.
Complete tranquility, which is surprising for still well within city limits.

have a major fishing river wirthin a mile and a half of my house, as well as a small park, a few ponds etc, not perfectly quiet but alrigh
Three minutes walk and over a fence
I have two hundred and sixty acres, half of it is untouched wilderness adjoining a national park.
The only thing between the park and my land is a firebreak.
hello does anybody have/used this metal detector?. im having it few years now, went to approx 30 trips for metal hunt. but found some bullets, metal scraps, chains and some metal junk. Any experience with this particular or other metal detectors are welcome
Don't know about that one but I had this metal detector as a kid and found a shit load of stuff near and around my house. My biggest finds were cannon ball, a college graduation ring, and an old plow head. I found all that in the woods across our pasture. I've found loads of other weird stuff I still don't know what they are. $50 purchase (at the time in the late 1990s) but worth it.

The larger coil helps, but you have to buy it.

Any decent wild camp location suggestions?
What kind of /out/ activities do you guys enjoy?
I'm vaguely looking out for someone to help me shoot outdoors youtube videos, most out there are boring and alfie doesn't post enough.

nature photography is pretty kewl
i knew this guy once who did it
he was pretty cute and the videos were good even without some lame ass """personality""" in them and just the sounds and images of life
Yo /out/ so I want to build a decent outdoor shelter in the woods to hang out in. Just something with enough room for several people to chill inside and smoke and drink in. Maybe enough room for someone to sleep, like 8x8 feet.
Last summer I built one with my friends with plywood and tree branches but it got destroyed over the winter. I am looking to build something more sturdy, I was thinking I could make something decent by nailing 2x4s to trees and putting a tarp over it. I was thinking about building an actual small log cabin, but it seems quite hard.
It...

Yeah.........stop putting nails in live trees that someone will hit with their chainsaw.... That causes the chain to break and the operator can be maimed or killed.
Build a cabin..... if they could do it 200 years ago with an axe and a saw; then you can too.
Where at in MN?
SOG or Glock entrenching tool?
...Or something else?
get the Nato/Bundeswehr one
