I Keked the rest of the hike until I slammed my head on a giant spider web with a big spider. (The large "angly" colorfull ones you see on tv). Pic is me arriving.
Shit in the ocean

Your mother kept me too busy for that

Brasil truly is beautiful, irmão.
I just took a Go Pro video of a short hike near my home in Norway and i want to share it with you guys. I went to a pretty nice vista in the sunset. Tell me what you think :)

it was cool. though at times you could really use some stabilisation. really liked the lapse in the end.
It's a good first try for sure,
but as >>710048 said stabilisation would definitely improve the overall viewing experience.
What a lovely part of the world though.
>>710015
Yo op have you done some of the famous hike like trolltunga, preikestolen and such ? Overall, do you have any tips about backpacking in Norway in summer (ie What should I wear, etc) ? Thanks
Found it while fossil hunting in San Antonio

I beg your pardon?
I just bought my first paintball marker, its a spyder pilot acs. I can't get it to fire. I let it charge for a day, but when I hook up the c02 and turn off the safety it wont fire. When I pull the trigger the safety just turns back on. Does /out/ have any suggestions as to what the problem is
>>709286
>>/asp/
So that's a common complaint with the Pilot series. There are a lot of guides on how to fix it, but the issue is actually user error. Did it come with a manual? On the back page it should be able to tell you an appropriate board to post this on, like toys or whatever, instead of posting on a board that has literally nothing to do with paintball, you useless waste of oxygen
Why are flowers so OP?
God really needs to nerf them, they're so broken i mean look at this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamomile
flowers you find on the fucking ground every day can cure you not going to sleep
dont even get me started on marijuana
literally every fruit / vege has medical benefits
and yet they still go underestimated in the hospitals
especially in the 1st world countries where herbs are considered "outdated medicine"
> herbs are considered "outdated medicine"
pharmaceutical companies
that's the technoptimistic positivist mindset for you
doctor sez thing = gud
people do thing for literal millenia = veri baad
>>709280
I mean personally, i this medical technology is great. have you seen those videos where some people have robotic limbs? that stuff is fantastic, now just think if we can have that by the bulk. that would be the best thing since germ theory.
but you cant really call chemicals in capsules as technology, it really is just BadHerbs
What is /out/ doing?
>chilling a the beach

Waterproof cases:
What waterproof cases do you guys use for first aid or fire lighting kit or whatever else you need to keep dry? Or do you just use zip lock bags? I think a case like pic related would be good for a first aid kit (except its not waterproof)
I use waterproof stuff sacks in various sizes.
>>709006
First aid: one of those semi-disposable cheap cellphone bags for my smaller kit for day hikes and paddling. My bigger kit came in a ziplock bag inside a waterproof nylon pouch and it's usually inside a backpack made of coated fabric.
Camera and other electronics: Pelican case when I'm on the water. Plastic bags otherwise.
In general: roll top drybags, with stuff that really needs to stay dry in ziplocks because rolltops can leak if submerged, on boat trips. Inside plastic bags in my backpack if hiking.
> I think a case like pic related would be good for a first aid kit (except its not waterproof)
Funny, I was just thinking the same thing, until I looked up the price this morning. The case would cost about 4 times as much as the contents.
>not waterproof
Pelican cases are IPX7 M8
I use a LOT of ziplocs - cheap, lightweight, disposable.
My packs are water-resistant enough that I don't usually worry about water ingress from rain/snow, but a ziploc keeps things together and dry (things like toilet paper, bandages, meds... things that get messy or unuseable when wet). Also nice to keep things together like rope/carabiners.
Do have a bunch of Pelican cases for equipment/instruments as I travel.
They also make great luggage - Easy to identify, tough as fuck, and baggage handlers think it's equipment/instruments so it's often hand-delivered to the oversize baggage area before the carousel even starts up.
>Hard drives (backups) fit real nice in the orange one
>Smallest black one fits a 1/2-width 2U instrument (DMM, Freq. counter, function generator, USRP, GPS simulator) along with cables nicely
>Tan one's for all my camera gear
>Gray one's for 2-3 day business trips or full-width equipment (service monitor, logic an, spec an)
>Black one's good for a week's travel or full-width equipment+tools
>Biggest black one's ... just big. Fits even my largest equipment (Cellular test set, network analyzer) or two standard full-width instruments. Case alone is 30lbs...
Thought about getting an SD-card pelican case, instead I bought a bulk pack of the cheap plastic clamshell cases (like 100 of the fuckers).
Is it possible to use a propane tank to fuel a backpacking stove that may use isobutane/propane mix?
I have a camp stove that uses those expensive isobutane tanks and want a more long term option, Ive been thinming of just using the propane tanks instead and wonder if it will still work on an isobutane stove, or do I need to buy a atove made for the propane?
Thanks.
>>708998
If you're talking about the 1lb propane bottles, the fittings are different.
If you want a cheaper to operate stove, get an alcohol or white gas stove.
>I have a camp stove that uses those expensive isobutane tanks
What? I can buy them for $8 and they last an entire 3 day trip. People spend just as much on those shitty Mountain House meals.
>>708998
Yes, you can buy an adapter to use a stove designed for butane canisters with propane cylinders. They screw onto the cylinder then the stove screws onto the adapter. Potato quality pic related
Frenchfags/Spaniardfags come here pls.
Next month I'll be doing the French way of the Camino and I would like to know if there's some outdoors store in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port where I can buy a Mora or SAK there?
I could have mine but I'll be flying to Bordeaux before I go there so it's a no go.
Don't know those specific places but you'll have no problems picking up a knife. Loads of shops, inc tabacs and tourist shops have at the bare minimum opinels and Saks. You will, however, pay a premium for them.
>>708549
>opinels and Saks
Thanks, I'm not a fan of Opinels because of the wood handles but if they have SAKs it will serve me fine. I guess I could always look for something in a big city like Bordeaux but I don't want to have problems with police before I start the hike, and with all the problems that France had in the last year it's not a wise thing to do.
You'll have no worries, pocket knives are extremely common and available on the continent. You'll see a lot of local and different styles. Last time I was in France I was about to buy an olive wood laguiole but I talked myself out of it.
Those of you who eat unhealthy fast food and other crap on a regular basis, do you take any measures to prepare your digestive system for a long backpacking trip?
I've been travelling a lot for work and so I've been eating fast food a LOT. I'm finally returning home for a few weeks and I want to go on a hike for a few days.
Protips? I was thinking about fasting for a day before I leave, and eating very gentle foods during the trip.
>>708206
It doesn't matter.
>>708211
Does it not? I think my body has gotten used to my current diet, because when I tried to eat healthier, I was plagued by diarrhea. I feel like going hiking with granola bars and mountain house is going to do the same thing.
I just bring baby wipes. Nothing worse than an itchy asshole.
I don't know if I'm healthy or not. I bring a bunch of smoked meat, carrots, apples, and oranges. But I snack on a ton of peanut M&Ms. I'm lactose intolerant but the quantity of chocolate doesn't really bother me. If I brought normal M&Ms though, I would be puking out my ass all over the trail. A bowl of cereal can get me shitting in less than 15 minutes.
Give me a reason

the SW75 cos i need a new folding saw
>>708207
Op here.
I own SW73... Great tool - better than the laplander for sure
There an actual need to carry both an axe and folding saw? I was thinking of getting a folding saw for Winter hunting trips because I could also open it up an use it like a squeegee to move snow away for a camp.
there are a lot of options out there, and a lot of science behind them
what do you use?
leaning towards iodine myself
Chlorine Tablets, boiling, sawyer
>>708110
Sawyer. Cheap and easy. Get 2 pouches and make a gravity filter
Wanting to keep honey bees for the first time this spring. Wondering if anyone here has experience. Recommendations on bee species, research websites, equipment, honey collecting methods, etc would be awesome. I live in western PA if that makes a difference for any of the above.
>>707926
Alls I know is if you beekeep, bears will come. So take whatever prep and precautions seriously. Every beehive in my town was wrecked by bears last summer. It was actually kind of a big deal
>>707927
Bear sightings are few and far between where I am.

Aussie invention so you don't have to open the hive to harvest. Fucking genius.
I'm looking for a lightweight waterproof shell jacket. Any recommendations?
What are some Good quality well made brands
>>707900
Columbia omniproof Jacket
100% waterproof and pretty breathable while being plenty cheap vs competitors. I have 2 and one of them is for cycling and is never leaked. Highly recommend m8

You would be amazed at what you find there sometimes for REALLY cheap. It's totally random and I've snagged some great stuff. If you like helly, I see that there all the time.
