Do you like to taking pictures when you're hiking/outdoors?
Taking pictures takes me out of the moment. It kinda feels inauthentic; like the awkwardness of taking a selfie.
I'd rather just enjoy the moment and scenery and move on. If it was good I'll remember it and if not it's probably not worth taking a picture off anyway.
What are some other ways to capture a moment? I'm thinking about keeping a travel log and bringing my sketchbook.

I'm gonna be taking a huge trip in a few months and I'm gonna be using a gopro with a chest cam and a lot of batteries and recycling sd cards. That way I get to experience everything first hand, but still get to take everything with me.

ah the ae-1 program. a classic. I do some mild wildlife photography. sometimes camp setups and such or interesting things I come across. I rarely have done a self photo and none of my friends are really very good photographers.

>Taking pictures takes me out of the moment. It kinda feels inauthentic
I know the feeling. One thing that really helps is limiting (or limiting entirely) your "chimping".
That is - Taking a photo and immediately looking at the LCD screen. Inevitably this makes you disappointed and take another and the cycle repeats.
Learn about exposure, then disable automatic LCD reviewing in the menu. Makes it much mor enjoyable and "in the moment man" etc

hey Britain, hows the queen?
So I have a TNF Borealis pack (like this onehttps://www.google.it/search?q=borealis+new&espv=2&biw=1366&bih=643&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiF96DLs6nLAhXDOhQKHRBYAVgQ_AUICSgE#tbm=isch&q=borealis+new+north+face&imgrc=eJEsPWVSWlZqqM%3A ), and I wanted to put some velcro on the front of it.
The thing is, the cordura is very hard and I broke 2 needles trying to do it, also the position of the front pouch is very awkardly placed so I don't know how to proceed.
Do I have to take this shit to a tailor ?

Go to craft store and buy upolstery needles, you should have some anyway.

Enlightened Equipment Revelation is finally here! Caught the backside of Christmas orders and that was about 5-6 week backorder.
Got what I wanted, very higj quality materials and craftsmenship!
Sized for quilt cover over two bags or as summer quilt/bag for one.
The EE Revelation zips closed at the feet with a drawstring on the end and has straps to secure under pad for the top.
Put on top of my queen size bed, the long, xwide covers side to side and has a taper at the feet.
20D outer, 10D inner, 850PF downtek, 10*F rating.
Sooo comfy!
All at 39g.
>>704104
> s/b 29.5g
Sorry.
>>704105
>Upon further review:
Units must be in ounces. Back from my doper dayz, 28+ grams ==1 ounce.
There is no way my new quilt is 1 oz!
Must be 29.5oz, a bit under 2lbs.
Again, sorry for the confusion, it is all on my end.

>>704028

>>704030

>try charring fungus
>look for chaga
etc etc.
I buried a snake under my white Mediterranean fig tree aprox 1 year ago, i just found big maggot grubs on the top soil after clearing away the spring clovers(weather is broken in California atm). Do i have something to worry about? My fig tree is 25+ years old and i'd hate to see grubs destroy its root system.

You saw beetle larvae, most likely chafers of some description. They were likely eating funguses or rotting root nodules near your tree and won't damage it. However, Beetles are crazy diverse and you could have just seen carrion beetle larvae that ate your very decayed snake.
How big were they?
>>703546
smaller than an inch, but exactly like the larvae in the OP but the spots are white.
>>703546
this is another one. Also, i found some small white mites in the soil. I took off the entire top layer of foliage and dug out all the clover roots,
Yo /out/, I'm trying to work on some designs for a video game company and need some designs for some clothing that would look good in an apocalypse situation, something like pic related.

Flecktarn.
Not enough games have flektarn in them.
military gear/surplus, biker gear, protective gear from various sports, civilian hunting clothes, stuff from the construction industry and usually found in hardware stores.
browse some online stores that sell these things, see what you find

Line: 150yards of power pro, and the rest filled up
With Yo-Zuri Clear Hybrid Line/ 16lb camo mono line

>>702986
Isn't that 10lb mono really big for that 1000?
And you should get on the Power Pro sooner rather than later. You will never go back.
Need something that won't shit out on me, and a few pieces of cookware that won't warp. I've had TOAKS pots warp on the bottom before, and will no longer sit on anything without rocking.
A campfire
>>702235
MSR pocketrocket seems to be popular
I'm a big fan of my Primus Yellowstone Classic. It's not the lightest or fanciest stove but it's rugged as fuck and cost $20.
As for cookware I prefer stainless steel. Not the lightest stuff, but again durable and affordable.

Thank you !

Hey man, I just watched it. I feel like it could have been condensed a bit, you visit the same spots a few times. Also you need a better mic and a way to prevent picking up all that noise.
I enjoyed it though, thanks for uploading it.

/k/ here, and I was looking for an axe to take innawoods, along with my bk7.
I was checking this "viking light ax" out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpRBsqGPDB8
as well as this CRKT T-Hawk.
http://www.crkt.com/woods-chogan-thawk-axe-2730
I don't know much about these things, as I've not yet had a use for one. But I may need one soon as I'm going innawoods for several days in the spring. Are spikes useful or should I get one with a hammer as well, can't I just use the side of the axe as one?
If you want to chop wood get a normal hatchet, these are not made for wood cutting.
>>701184
>these are not made for wood cutting.
How do you tell?
>>701186
The straight wood handle. The way history has proven what these axes and tomahawks were for.
Anybody spent any time in Wisconsin? I am doing a road trip and I want to hit each region of the state.
Any opinions? is it worth checking out?
>>701027
I'm a Wisconsin Native and I honestly can't say much about our state forests/parks but I can recommend some stuff with a bit more information. When are you taking the road trip? What is your time frame for the trip? Do you want to visit the regions in any particular order?
Another Wisconsin native here. Northern highlands are loaded with lakes if you like fishing, otherwise basically everywhere but the southeast corner is woodlands or very rural
Coming from a native, stay away from the southern half of the state, but if you have to kettle moraine and the lower Wisconsin River are alright. I guess you should probably go see the dells, but it's crawling with Chicagoans in the summer. Apostle Islands is definitely the most /out/ place here. Door county is nice too.
Show me what you got: targets, rifles, handguns.

>What have you caught lately?
Nothing, I haven't hunted/fished in years. I farm now and raise my own (chicken).
