If I keep water in these more than 12h it starts smelling bad.
It's really not good since I need it for long trips, and I don't really have a chance to wash it properly.
Anybody had the same problem?
>>807779
I use steel bottles or just a regular big plastic one from the mall.
It's ok as long as you store it inside the backpack.
>>807779
Try this as an experiment. Bring a metal cup with you. Poor from the water bottle into the metal cup and drink like that.
What I'm thinking is your natrual mouth bacteria is contaminating the water, possibly giving you a gross smell.
Yep mouth yuck backwashes in and sets up shop. Also other contaiments get in from other sources.
Hey Sc/out/s I have a rock climbing question. If I wanted to set up a anchor using trees can I use a half rope on one or multiple trees or is the rope to weak for this. Pic related.
Also general Rock Climbing thread
>>807586
A single half rope is plenty for an anchor. If you want to use a second tree just anchor the second rope to that and incorporate it into your system.
>>807595
Thank you Anon really appreciate it
>>807597
No problem.
Just think it probably has a similar strength as an accessory cord only it has the added benefit of being dynamic not static.
I've been letting this guy hang out in my room fore three days. Is it just a plain ol jumping spider?

Hopefully everybody remains safe this holiday weekend. It's difficult to thumb your memecaster when you have no thumb. I wish I didn't have to work tomorrow, but at least I won't be stuck there next Saturday. Still debating whether to finish all my errands today or go fishing in the afternoon instead.
Talk 'bout fishin
Talk about Nibblesworth
>>807023
What time are you fishing at? Seems like a good spot to fish right at sunset. If I were there during the day, I would be casting creature baits out towards the edge of that channel or some deep holes and then maybe in the late afternoon start doing flukes or even topwater towards the outer edge of all that structure.
But I have no clue, it's different for every lake in every area. Sometimes the obvious spots are great and sometimes they are terrible and some spot you least expect is the most productive.

Alright sc/out/s, let's do this.
ITT we discuss wild fish & game handling, processing, preparation, cooking, and eating.
I realize this topic is very /ck/ but it's also focused on what to do with protein harvested through hunting and fishing which is full /out/.
Please try to stay on topic. There will be a few recipes which combine wild and domesticated meat and that's ok. However, if you want to discuss farmed meat or commercially caught fish in detail take it to /ck/. If you're anti-hunting or anti-meat, go fuck yourself with a ripe eggplant. There's a containment thread for that shit already.
I'm passionate about wild food and I've got a fair bit of experience under my belt but I'm not a professional hunter, butcher, or cook so keep that in mind. I just want to share my thoughts with some other anons and come up with some new ideas for this coming fall.
I will start this fine thread off by saying fried redfish is bestfish and you can all fuck off

Alright, let's begin with some general concepts to improve meat quality in big game. This applies right at the beginning - in the field.
You've shot and recovered your quarry.
You need to get to work as soon as possible dressing and skinning it because it's crucial to get the temperature of the meat down quickly. This is especially important when hunting in warm weather early in the season. If you don't, bacterial growth moves very, very fast and your meat will be taste terrible. Often, people who complain about the taste of wild meat have simply been fed poorly handled or ruined meat.
If the temperature is below 10 C you have some breathing room, but if it's warmer than that get your ass in gear. Quartering helps cool the meat and so does taking off the skin right in the field and putting the quarters in game bags/cheesecloth. If the weather is around freezing or below then skinning doesn't need to be done immediately, but gutting/dressing should always happen asap.
If it's a hot day above 20 C you should really plan ahead for cooling the meat. Bring some bags of ice in a cooler in your vehicle so that when you get the animal/quarters out of the field you can chill them right away. If the weather is too warm to hang and age at your own place, take the animal straight to the butcher shop - they have humidity and temp controlled coolers to properly hang the game. Even if you debone/butcher yourself, they will often be able to hang and cool it for you.
If you don't have any kind of facility available to cool the meat and keep it around 3-4 C then you will need to butcher it right away. The quality will suffer just a bit, but in general if you can't age the meat for whatever reason, it's not that big of a deal.
Ideally you want to age the meat a bit before butchering. I like to hang meat 4-10 days but of course this depends on the weather. You want to keep the meat above freezing but below 4.

I really really wanna catch a toona and filet it's red ass right there on the boat and eat sashimi.
Can we have an /out/ approved headgear thread?
Just came across the Stetson Takani. I'm im love, and have no doubt it would be amazing for traveling in the summer, but the price point is a bit high.
>>806172
>Can we have an /out/ approved headgear thread?
Does it fit? Does keep the sun off your head? Does it keep you warm? Does it cost less than a new car?
/out/ approves.
>>806742
>Does it cost less than a new car?
my new goal: find an /out/ hat that costs more than a new car. (a reasonable new car, say $30k, and one-off saudi prince bling faggotry hats don't count)
The only thing its woth buying
Trying to go bear hunting

Need to upgrade my sleeping pad.
I got a thermarest trail xlite, it's not bad but it's really bare minimum.
I'm thinking about getting either the trail pro (thicker) or the neo air xlite (even thicker but it's like a plastic bag apparently).
Anybody here owns one of these? I want something very comfortable to sleep on.
>inb4 not sleeping on a bed of nails
>>805633
I own a Neo air it is pretty warm and comfortable only con i see is they are quite loud
i'm satisfied with my big agnes pad. nice a cushy.
Going down tomorrow looking for private sites off dirt paths or whatever nothing to crazy something you can take a car in. Looking for pay or no pay just no

What can guy without college education aim for?
>>804619
>Burger King.
Ive been doing petty well with only a highschool education, Though im a hard worker, willing to put in extra work, am physically capable , And had Previous job experience working from family and friends
3-4 years carpentry experience
Seasonal work at fish hatchery
occasional wok at farm, or various handyman shit
id like to find another job possibly just to pick up another 10-20 hours a week to keep me busy, and have a bit more cash to save
it all depends on your personality, to be quite honest, Only reason i was hired at the hatchery in the first place was because i had a passion for the work,
and the only reason ive been rehired is because im willing to actually do the work and i get aong with the people there
>tldr depends on personality and many other things
>>804619
Get a trade. You'll be out earning most of your college peers. Bonus go for welding huge shortage of them in the states.
You guys have any tips for buying a compass and a compact binoculars?
I am looking for something cheap but simple and reliable.
>>804341
>compact binoculars?
i recommend buying a cheap throwaway pair.
no point getting too compact imo theres plenty of decent mid size pairs that are easily portable with the right harness or chest rig.
i use a pair of vortex diamondbacks, which was my second pair after i needed more than a 20$ throwaway. definitely not cheap.
compass i dont use much but when i do its a mil-spec cammenga. the transparent types are better in every single facet except durability however.
amazon should have all that stuff in every price range, just read reviews.
>>804490
Buy once, cry once in my opinion. Love my vortex gear, and their warranty.
Bushnell for cheap high quality import
Guys this is our last chance to get a 4th of july /out/ing together.
I am up for anything but the most fun think I can think of is inviting /k/ to come with us to the Rainbow Gathering.
I think we should all put together cheesy Halloween type hippie costumes and get rip roaring drunk and see if we cant manage to shag a few hippie chicks.
Who is with me?
How do we tell the hippie men apart from the women? They're all malnourished, long haired, and have b.o. and unkept body hair.
OP I'm not gay so if I fuck a hippie dude on accident I'm holding you responsible.
>>803288
I have some test strips that we can use. You just rub them between their legs and wait for the color to change.
why don't you live in a small mountain town like pic related
They don't have engineering jobs
>>803199
looking at the pic of their downtown i think they're in dire need of some though
They tend to be fuck expensive tourist traps. With exuberant land prices and infested with commiefornians
