Speaking of. Has anyone ever smoked or ingested mullien to relieve asthma?
Hey /out/
I've been looking for a "bug out bag" I guess, I don't really think there will be some kind of happening but I think it would be fun to make one and do innawoods type stuff with it. Problem is I don't know what backpack to get, there's so many different manufacturers. Drago has seemed pretty good so far. What does /out/ reccomend? What are notable qualities to look for in a good survival bag?
I just bought the 5.11 rush 12. Waiting for it right now

Why not check out one of the three backpack threads we already have, anon?
I got the daylight backpack from Tom bihn for my get home bag. I know it's not as tactical as other bags, but I hear the aeronaut is a great bag. Durable as fuck too, especially if you get the dyneema bag if you're willing to put up with the fucking stripes.
Any Irish people on /out/?
I'm really stuck for places to go hiking and camping, only place I can think of is Kerry, or maybe Galway, but because it's so isolate it'd be difficult to organise.
I'm from Belfast and me and my mates always go up the Mourne Mountains. They're pretty good, but you're not really far from civ most of the time.
I've been considering going up to Donegal to see what the craic is up there with camping and stuff.
So we all know milk is great tasting and good for you. It's got tons of fats, vitamins, and nutrients. It makes a great meal when you're /out/-and-about, but there's one problem: It goes back quickly when not refrigerated.
Sure it's not hard to take a pint of milk and drink it on the first night, but if you're planning to be out for a few days or weeks, there's not really an easy way to keep milk cold for that whole time.
Luckily there are substitutes. Condensed milk is essentially milk with much of the water boiled off. It comes...

Now, we usually drink cow's milk, which is fine and dandy. Cow's milk is great tasting and nutritious. But one more advantage of powdered milk is that it can also be sourced from a different source. This is where my photo comes in. Powdered breast milk substitutes are very common in most supermarkets and it got me thinking. Wouldn't breast milk be a better choice than cow milk? Breast milk is made for humans to drink. Our bodies are already suited to turning breast milk into fuel, so wouldn't this...

I've taken powdered milk into the back country. It works fine. I've mainly used it for the Knorr (formerly Lipton) noodle mixes which gives a nice, hearty meal. I usually portion it out into zip-top snack bags. Its worth it if you have the ounces to spare - and space is more of a concern than anything (it is quite light for the volume).
stuff smells like shit

Give me your dank /out/ songs, im trying to compile a playlist.
Heres a favorite of mine.

Haven't heard that song in a while. I think for me it's gotta be Heard Them Stirring, by the one and only Fleet Foxes.

It's okay
Do monster plants tho from indoor gardening
I am planning on a few trips, for a number of nights out at a time (for skiing).
Last year, I did OK with just a bag - but ultimately I found myself turning on the car when it's far below freezing. On top of that, my gear has no chances of drying out. It would be wonderful for a warm rig.
I REALLY want something electric - preferably battery powered. I thought of getting a large car battery - and an extremely small ceramic heater. Alas, thoughts seem futile.
There are these Coleman tent heaters at a fair price, though the thoughts of CO2 build up - or...

Let me get this straight.
You are planning on sleeping in your car and want advice on how to make it warmer?
It's a car. You can bring sleeping bags, blankets, woolies, PJs, hats, mittens, union suits, hot water bottles, etc.

Daily wedge thread.
Pic is mine, made of aluminum, very light, easy addition to any kit. Can split logs for days with no worries at all.
Lets kill this batoning meme shit.
I do have a wedge but I don't carry it with me. I've never really needed to split wood outside of home use. I can see where it would be a good carry while /out/ if you know you're going to need a lot of lumber for fires. Mine always gives me great uniform splits, and you can use absolutely anything to drive it. Never let me down once. Tip: its best to leave it dull , that way the split goes with the grain. I have seen people sharpen their splitting wedge, but this allows the wedge to cut its own path and you end up working against the grain of the wood creating...

I have several wedges of different sizes, not sure what material they are but they are heavy
Ampco Safety Tools flange wedge
Nonsparking, Corrosion Resistant, Beryllium free
2.1 Ounces
$10.21 on Amazon
I give it five stars, works great. Though I don't end up needing it much... when i do its a life-saver.
Is wedge-ing really a thing?
pic related, from amazon.. sorry I don't have pictures of my wedge just floating around.
Is it worth getting a storm shelter? If you're going to be in an area where the weather can rapidly change that is.
I guess if I were alpine day hiking and didn't have a tent with me it MIGHT be useful. Seems like dead weight for 99% of /out/ use.
>>671267
I'll have a tent, but if the weather suddenly changes, i might not be able to get it set up.
why not just use the storm shelter as a tent?
Any arborists here?

Bump for interest. Not a pro but I love climbing trees, ever since I was a kid. Have pruned the trees at home and at my parents place.

Current student here, just passed my basic tree inspection certificate. Not too keen on going on to becoming a straight up tree surgeon.Looking more over to the ranger side.
Also, is it worth going on to study university level abroiculture?
Any advice from Arborists would be appreciated.
Hey /out/, I need a 70l pack that basically isn't a 250$ osprey. The size can be a few smaller or a few larger. I wasn't sure what bags that are cheap are shit or not? Anyone have suggestions?
Anyways,
>ITT: Your Packs
Coincidentially, I own a Xenith 105
The deuter ACT lite is a little cheaper while still boasting good quality. Maybe check out granite gear, their stuff can be a little less expensive. Otherwise I don't know of many other quality brands making a 70L cheaper than that. Or just get something on sale...
>>667231
Check out Kelty or Alpine Designs.
Stay away from Jansport, they make good bookbags but their trail packs went to shit after VF outdoor bought them.
Also, check the clearance sales at sites like REI Outlet, Sierra Trading, Moose jaw, etc. It's off season so retailers will be clearing out inventory to make room for new spring models.
I'm gonna build a small cabin near a pond on my property this spring. Probably gonna be a 12'x12 to a 16'x16' depending on budget. I'm gonna try to equip it with a small solar power setup, just enough for a little TV and maybe a mini refrigerator. I might also add a rainwater purification system and a little garden. Also gonna buy a cot to keep out there to sleep on. Any other suggestions?
Where about do you live?
Check if you're going to have to follow building code etc
Budget?
Any carpentry experience?
small solar panel will not be able to support the refrigerator. The power usage on them in pretty insane.
>>660833
Oklahoma, we already checked, no permits. As for the budget, I have no idea.
Hey /out/,
I'm going to be going on a hike with some friends tomorrow. We just found out that it's supposed to be a fucking downpour. I don't have any good rain gear, won't have any time to run out and buy some, and am too poorfag for it anyway.
So, how do I rig up my own raingear?
Here's the most waterproof articles of clothing I have:
- Cagoule/ fold away Windbreaker
- M65 fishtail parka
-Condor Phantom Soft Shell

Delaware North Company is stealing the names of several Yosemite National Park landmarks. If they get away with this where will it end?
Fuck off you Nigger loving faggy faggot
They're trying to jew the National Park Service because they're buttblasted about losing their lucrative contract.
Really I wouldn't be upset if the NPS just booted all those asshole concessionaires out of our parks.
