I'm looking for a general good durable multipurpose boot preferably 8 inches and waterproof as it snows most of the year where I live. What are some good boots or brands for light hiking or camping/ walking long distances for women? Pic unrelated
There aren't many women on this board. So maybe some men's boots can be recommended and you can then find matching women's pairs.
I love my Merrell boots, and they have good winter ones. Merrells website has a sale today on winter boots.
Thanks I'll take a look at merrel, I thought of buying mens boots before but not many are made small enough I wear a size 6 in womens so in mens I'd need a size 4 or so
>>673713
This, most of the same brands that get recommended for men also make women's boots. Merrell, Vasque, scarpa, etc.
Your best option is to go try some on and find the one that best fits your foot shape.
Why is the Prepper movement so fucking cringy? Don't get me wrong I'm all about people being ready and have some supplies if anything bad happens, but man, you go to youtube and 90% of the time will be some retard with out of the box gear, dressed like a fucking commando, spelling shit of their mouth.
Anyone feels the same or it's just me being a autistic cunt?
>>661271
No, you're right.
A huge marketing has developed around the concept of "survival". Now, a lot of people believe they're in a zombie movie and spend fortunes in "tactical equipment", "ultimate weapon against X", "the ultimate survival bow which shot by himself and brings back the game".
But there are a lot of really good channels on youtube. Just ignore the autistic warriors.
>>661271
Because you're sheltered and aren't used to rural, non-domesticated people. Whenever I watch videos of outdoors enthusiasts that aren't the gun loving red blooded type I think what a low test beta hipster cunt.
Don't forget that it will attract people with legit mental illnesses.
I also see the logic in being somewhat surprised with supplies so I'm not saying every prepper is like that but crazy people are generally also paranoid.
Post yer folders boys. Just got a Spyderco tenacious, and it's my first spyderco. So far so good. Has a more solid feel than the Kershaw I used to EDC.
Should have gone in the knife thread or sharp thread or whatever is going on currently but whatever
My beater edc rat2
And my new edc benchmade mini barrage that I haven't started beating on
Also have a rat1 as a backpack knife /kit knife and a tenacious I used to edc but have since replaced becuase I prefer a knife that doesn't have serrations
Ontario RAT 1
It's been abused
>>657114
Am the post above you, you actually edc the rat1 its just too big for me
I bought both the rat 2 and rat 1 at the same time and while I abuse the rat 2 daily the rat one has become a backpack /kit knife I don't use as often
What are some good ritualistic clothing to wear while /out/?
Also, is there a danger of frightening anyone seeing a black hooded figure wondering the deep wilderness at night?
Will this get you shot?
>>666475
>What are some good ritualistic clothing
>black hooded figure
you just answered your own question cunt
also this is why the Suetonius Paulinus cleansed the earth of the Druids.
ive got a couple of deer skulls with antlers in the basement and ive been thinking for years of making some sort of weird druid head dress thing and make a robe from natural materials and travel the often used trails and pretending i am some sort of wilderness druid
but im probably just weird
>>666475
On a scale of Sonic to Atheism, how autistic are you?
This is how we do it in the pnw, With waxed corrugation ( aka cardboard for you plebs)
Did you use that as an eating surface
What are those utensils?
>>670909
I think they are also cardboard.
#2 is at the limit >>663876
So here's to #3
Only a few weeks until my first Mystery Tackle Box! Whatever shill they sent to the last thread really did get us good.
>>670709
Be sure to show what you get Pepsi!
Also, do you happen to know much about rainbow trout? As in, what kinda lures should I acquire for it?
>>670728
Rainbows are all I fish for, where/when will you be targeting them?
I've always done best fishing bows with roe.
>>670709
>Mystery Tackle Box
I saw that in the last thread and I'm thinking I'm going to do both (MTB & Lucky tackle), 1 for Salt and 1 for fresh
I looked at a few of the past boxes on LT and they looked pretty good. I didn't look at MTB yet because you have to put an email addy in to see theirs and I'm not sure yet which person I feel like being for fishing stuff/spam
So walking along the trail today something blue caught my eye. See it's a little box. Didn't read it first as assume it's some geocaching thing. Open it up and rotten hamster falls out and onto my leg.
God damn it, who the fuck...
Once I was on a trail very near populated areas, but on a portion hard enough and a few miles out so not all that many people traverse it.
I was exploring off trail a bit near a viewing spot when I spotted a well made wooden cross driven deeply into the ground. There was some kind of floral arrangement tied around it, along with a zip lock bag full of papers.
The papers ended up being pictures of a man and his family, he had killed himself at that spot. One of the paper was a letter written to him after his death from his sister. Apparently none of his family...

think i stumbled across a cabin that had been used as a grow house for weed. power outlets all around and rotted bags of gardening soil outside. newspapers there were from '96. also a trailer with shelves and a bottle of fertilizer

I was back in the middle of the woods and there was just a truck in the thick of it. Like a truck, with no wheels miles away from the road. I mean I have no clue how it got there, because it was rough terrain, cliffs and hills.
Historically people ate the fish they caught and since Mudfish (Bowfin) have jelly meat they are not as appealing at the table. But today pretty much everyone always catches and releases fish in freshwater. But yet so many people disregard this fish as a trash fish.
It's like their grandpa told them Bowfin are trash fish and instead of thinking with a mind of their own and developing their own opinion of the fish as a rough fighting fish that puts up amazing adrenaline rushing fight they just stick with the old fashion view that Bowfin are trash fish. Even worse things like bowfishing which can be great to get rid of nonnative species is horrible when people target native fish like Bowfin and Gar. If you want to bowfish go after something that deserves it like a nonnative Snakehead or invasive cichlids.
This old fashion view that Bowfin are trashfish really needs to die.
They put up the best fight and they can be caught using cut bream during the evenings.
TLDR - Why are Bowfin not accepted as a General Sportfish?
>>671938
> non-native
> invasive
It's like being one step away from a Klan Rally!
Today's world has no borders and no racial boundries. Species mixing is as natural as race blending.
Get over your oldfashioned veiws yourself!

Trolling in a fishing thread.
Wrong b8 m8.
What bow is good for survival. Its gonna be my first bow aswell. i was thinking about the sas tactical survival bow. Any good? Pic related.

>>652277
If it says "tactical" or "survival" in the item description there's usually a better alternative that costs less.
If you're buying a first bow and are just getting into archery, you need to find out if you're patient enough to learn traditional archery over a few years or want to get something with sights. I have a Fred Bear Montana Longbow and love it, but you can buy a decent rifle/scope combination for less money.
The bow in your post has some weak links where it hinges....

Also no.
Who here /California/? I'm from the east coast and staying near San Diego for a month and really want to get out and enjoy this weather. Anybody know any cool things to do? Anything really, even if its not /out/ but that's be ideal. Pic related. It's a view of La Jolla beach? In Oceanside
That's Blacks Beach near Torrey Pines
>get fuckin destroyed by el nino
>>667180
Hitup Torrey Pines, go to Balboa, rent a surfboard, drive to the Anza Borrego Desert, climb Mt. Woodson the long way, get shitfaced at the Gaslamp, go to museums at Balboa, go to the zoo, visit Joshua Tree National Park if you wanna drive a ways, snowboard at Big Bear, visit the Cabrillo National Monument, go to Little Italy downtown, go to Oldtown, and so on. There is a shit ton to do here, especially outdoors.
Some good sites...

I think I'm going to spend the next 4 weeks in pisagah national forest in solitutude. I need to loose weight badly and get more focused in life (it's gone down the shitter for the last year). It's currently 25 degrees there and it'll only get colder ( I have the proper gear) will spending this time in the woods do for me what I want it to do?
>>669557
You will probably get pink eye from fingering your anus and then touching your eyeball.
At that point you will realize that you need to re-evaluate your life.
You will also lose two toes to frostbite
>>669568
same
go for it OP, stay safe :^)
I was in the forest about 2 hours ago. Something crossed the trail in front of me and ran up this hill. By the time I got my phone out to take a pic it was gone. Never go innawoods without a gun. Also it was cold.
>why don't you own a pair of tiger stripe trousers /out/?
>>671837
Because I don't need to hide in jungles where the trees and other plants grow horizontally.
>>671837
That bastard from dual survival stole mine.
Bastard
It's 65 degrees today. I'm probably alone.
How are you people that get seasons doing?
Pretty great. It's going to be really clear tomorrow and I traded shifts so I can get some morning skiing in.
>>673780
I'm ok. I can tolerte winter for another couple weeks. By march I'm absolutely batshit crazy and usually it doesn't become spring-like until late april, unless we get lucky. I also just lost my job so, bring on the bleak. Th-thanks for asking OP.

Forecast says it's ~40 right now which means it's actually about 30-35.
>tfw you live in Pueblo and don't get snow
I miss it.
How you handle vision correction while /out/?
I'm badly nearsighted, I wear glasses at my desk job and contacts when I'm doing something more active.
That works fine for day trips but if I wanted to spend a few days camping, what's the best approach? Being blind in the middle of the woods is a horrifying thought.
>>668823
wear your glassed? get a strap for them if youre that much of a pussy.
>>668823
>what's the best approach?
wear a blindfold for a year and heighten your other senses
Just put one of those little necklace type lanyards that attach to each arm of your frames so they don't fall off your face and break.
Might look nerdy/goofy but it's better than bringing all the shit to put your contacts in and out when /out/ while avoiding getting shit in your eye
Long story short I'm going to end up homeless for awhile and don't have money to stay at a hotel. How is stealth camping in Canada?
My plan is to stealth camp in the wilderness, hunt wild game for food and going back to town once in awhile for supplies. I don't plan on going near cities.
What i'm afraid of is getting mugged and confronting rangers. Has anyone done this before? How long will I last in the Canadian wilderness senpai i need to know before I start buying gear.
Bump, good luck and stay strong OP
>>665267
suck up your pride and apologize to your parents.
>>665267
You're fucked. You obviously have no idea what you're doing or how to do it.
Just fucking get a job and live in a tent in the woods.
I see all sorts of lazy fucks around town bumming it. Maybe tthey earn enough to not need a job, but they sure as shit aren't "hunting wild game in the woods" and shit.
Get some min wage shit job, buy food, bum it in the woods or around town.
You're not going to last a week in the wilderness.
