What kind of flowers are these?
>>713561
Florist and horticulture major here. Looks like stock. They smell good too.
>>713848
Perfect, thank you kind sir.
Me and a buddy went backpacking for the weekend and tried to make each other meals for shits and giggles he made pizza and I made pasta actually turned out great
The pizza pree cook
>>712801
Looks pretty good...
How'd you guys actually cook the pizza?
>>712813
We put it in a aluminum camp pan and it was to small so the pizza sat on the edge of it and left air underneath and then put the lid on and put coals on the lid and this baked it like in an oven
I just received this gb small forest axe, and the grind is fairly noticably not straight. This pic is from the top. The bottom is straight though so this means the cutting edge isnt parallel with the handle.
Should i send it back? It seems like to grind it straight would mean getting rid of a lot of metal.
Thanks
I actually looked through a bunch of Gransfors wildlife hatchets at a brick and mortar store and they were all uneven to one extent or another. I guess this shouldn't have surprised me, given the handmade nature of the item.
If you send it back, I am almost sure you will receive one that has another flaw, possibly worse. You just have to deal with it. If the grind is all that bothers you, then you should thank your lucky and you should just grind it yourself until it suits you. They are fine tools though and it shouldn't affect usability. I would try to not let it other you.

That's really nother that bad. I wouldn't stress on it as I'm sure it'll perform fine.

Not** I really don't know why my tablet did that...
I'm thinking about carrying a kukri instead of a small axe for light wood cutting on my next trip.
The main reason is that they weight less than a kg and I don't need to split big chunk of wood,
just small stuff to keep a campfire going.
I've been looking at the kukrihouse discont deals, and they seem to be pretty cheap.
Is there a model you would recomend?
am I wrong thinking one of the heavier, thicker blades would be better for the job?
I'm pretty sure they're cheap because it's mostly a meme and people don't actually want to spend money on something they know they will never use.
Though, if you're sure youre going to use it, I'd definitely go for a non cheap one, I'm pretty sure you can find reviews on Google
>>717499
Theres a cold steel kukri for like $20 that has a zillion good reviews. Probably worth trying out before making the investment
I did exactly that, and realised that a kukri was a pain in the ass for the typical australian hardwoods that I'm around. The lack of weight just meant I was working crazy hard to process decent wood.
Everybody talks about the Himalayan Imports Chiruwa Ang Khola. Seems good but heavy.
I personally have the kukrihouse jungle afghan.
I like it enough.
Happy birthday, /out/.
Happy birthday /out/ !

Who here is interested in exploring abandoned places?

I want to go /out/ but don't know anyone.
Does anyone in Georgia want an /out/ buddy? I'm interested in learning hiking, camping, fishing, survivalism etc. but I don't have any experience and my friends don't like being outside.
Or if not, has anyone here got into /out/ things without any friends, just on your own? Share your wisdom
>>714337
A lot of the times I prefer just going alone.
You don't have to really be concerned with anyone else's needs. You can see what you want to see, rest when you want to rest, etc. Take a dog with you if you want some companionship.
I always carry a pistol on my person just in case if I run into an animal that I'm not able to take care of by running away or scaring off.
And make sure to tell someone where you're going, how long you'll be gone, and what you want them to do if you end up going missing.
Hiking is great alone. I prefer to fish with one other person at most. And innawwods I prefer to take the mutt with me as he'll bark when something's wrong.
>>714363
OP said wanting to learn. Beginners shouldn't go out alone. Lots of little things can happen that wouldn't be an issue for most of us, but someone who's never dealt with it before could have a lot of difficulty. Take bear encounters for instance. You or I would probably just hang back and let it do its thing unless it engaged, but OP would probably panic and end up getting mauled.
>>714337
On behalf of Darwinism, your call OP
>>714371
Very true. I completely forgot that he was a beginner as I was writing. Got a bit carried away.
OP I would honestly do the stuff one at a time. Give a nice morning/afternoon hike a go. Find someone on the trails and just strike up a conversation, make a new buddy. Ask them if they'd mind showing you the ropes, or just follow their lead.
I am in the same boat as you at times. I love the outdoors, but the only one of my friends that also does is one of those "I could only really interact with them in groups without getting bored" types of friends.
I don't really know what to tell you other than to start safe and make friends in the field.
Discuss outdoor clothing. What do you recommend wearing when out, and what climate are you in?
I'll start with a question: can anyone recommend some good /out/ pants?
Nylon when it's hot, wool when it's cold.
Fleece > wool if you aren't posing for a fashion shoot.
What are some good socks? any cheap wool socks?
Who else here currently /out/?
Also what does /out/ like to do with their spare time?

There is no cell service where I go /out/
#17- "Longest Title Ever: Not Enough Time To Fish Because Mommy Had A Hip Replacement And It's Like Taking Care Of A Newborn" Edition
I'm gonna try and get out tomorrow morning. Just afraid to go very far away in case something happens. Suprisingly she seems to be in less pain with this hip surgery than she was when she originally broke her femur and they put a bunch of screws in it.

I was gonna make the title "Brown Frog Rapala Skitter Pop A Best" Edition
2ND FOR DAIWA FANBOY
Didn't do any fishing but I hiked around the lake a good bit today guess I'll post the pic here since the rest of the board seems to have gone to shit with the knife drug/alcohol and homeless threads.
Who else is /out/ tonight?
Not me :(
Soon though... Soon

I've got my alarm set for 5am tomorrow to try and get to the lake.
Unfortunately I took a nap after work today so it's midnight and I'm still awake. Maybe I will just stay up watching Archer and Formula 1.
I'm looking for a pair of good boots to use for camping, hiking, working, etc.
I'm looking for something in black. However, I'm on a pretty restrictive budget at ~$60.
Really just the name of a reliable, affordable brand would help a lot.
Interested in pic related just for the 'Nam feel but all suggestions are welcome.
Thanks folks.
>>715785
Modern /out/doorians don't wear boots.
the current market offers shoes who support/protect your feet way better than/as every boot in the past 45 years.
>>715794
I can believe that but I want boots.
Can someone explain to me what goes through these people's heads?
It is always fun going on a bear infested wilderness hikes, but what the fuck are people thinking when they just toss their shit everywhere? Like, you think people going out would be more respectful.
>candy wrappers
>beer cans
>cliff bar graveyards
>lol wet socks
>cigg butts
>plastic from their brand new whistle
Is it just drunk local natives doing this? Is it the fucking chinese again? How is this even possible

>Can someone explain to me what goes through these people's heads?
Nothing
>what goes through these people's heads?
In a perfect world, bullets.
Because National Parks are full of hipsters and niggers doing drugs. Go to National Forests instead. You'll see the occasional hunter or backpacker but it's far more quiet and clean.
What is the best alternative material for stropping? Non-leather.
Not in the mood to discuss anything else so don't even start.
Have you tried your own ass?
>>709978
stropping is gay son stop it
>>709978
