How much of batoning is a meme, /out/?
>>664358
For that guy in the picture? A huge meme.
He's clearly in his back yard. He's batoning a piece of wood big enough to burn by itself once a fire is established. The piece he has chosen to baton could even be hardened since it looks like it's already been in a fire.
That fucking nigger even has a well used batoning baton.
I bet if you gave him shit for it he'd just be all like "Yeah well, I did it to test my gear. I want things like this to happen to me in my back yard, not...

An extreme meme.
Never in my life have I know or heard of a native or daily knife user that has ever batoned in his life.
I have never batoned in my life. It is not a necessity, even in an emergency, I dont know how one would need to baton for firewood.
I like how the backyard youtube survivalists baton just as a test of toughness that will make manufacturers come out with solid products, but I also miss knives that are thin and can actually cut well.
Arguably the worst part about batoning...

What does /out/ think about the West Highland Way?
is /out/ approved? or is it a massive tourist trap?
any tips for doing the West Highland Way the first time?
>westhighlandway general
>About 85,000 people use the path every year
So you've got 230 people on it every day. Seems a bit over crowded to me.
I'm wandering the highlands in late February but making my own path.
I'm thinking of going in March, although the alternate route described in this link sounds pretty appealing: http://www.c8h10n4o2.org/walking/highland_highway/

Why do you have to take a specific route? Just go walk.
How come fishing isn't considered hunting?
How come masturbating isnt a sport?
>>665711
It's a sport if you sweat. That's the rule.
>>665711
I would fap to that my friend.
Kind of /out and /k related, as I use my hunting rifles for food and my smaller calibre ones for target practice.
So out of curiosity, how many rifles do you /out/siders own?
I've got:
10/22
remy 700 in .223
norc sks
savage 116 in 30-06
ruger scout in 308
No.4 mk1 in 303
mossberg 500 12GA
pic somewhat related
>>666214
So far I just own a 22lr Cz 455 thumbhole.
Got it mostly for plinking and some small game hunting down the line.
Pic related, not mine though.
Now I'm looking to invest in a beretta shotgun in 12GA and a Tikka T3 in .308.
Just my levers and pumps and still missing a few, Savage M99 in .308 and Marlin M1895 in .45-70 not present.
I have one shotgun for hunting. Rem 870 express super magnum. Want to get a rifle too eventually.
How often do you get these fuckers where you /out/?
I gues on half the trips one latches on.
Last one that got me crawled in my butcrack and I had to ask a buddy to remove it. It was kinda awkward.
>>665571
Totally not gay.
Literally every fucking time, my dogs have spot on stuff so the ticks leave them alone but lucky me I get all the attention. Anyone got any suggestions to keep them off? DEET is fucking useless.
Hi Sc/out/s!
Patch Anon here! Just wondering if anyone want some new patches made?
Hope you had a nice Christmas and New Years!
looks bretty good, interested
I bet there is a strong correlation between a board's level of autism/aspergers and the per capita patch sales. Or at least the variety of patches on offer.
>>660645
I had 59 orders varying in amounts of patches per order but averaging something like 2 per order.
Patches are used for backpacks,caps and clothes anon's want to put them on. Some anon's collects them just for the sake of making a patch quilt to hang up somewhere in the house.
I have even seen some patches on gun straps ha ha!
The making and design of patches are submitted by Anons and I usually put a demo up in 3 day's to show them. If there is anything they don't like I...

is there anything in florida thats cool. Im a fan of heights but obviously there is no mountains but maybe any urban treasures i could climb/explore? But this includes unknown swimming holes or caves and things not a lot of people know about that can for fill my adventurous side?

Are you a native? If so, what county? If not, when and where will you be visiting?

Weren't you told in the OTHER Florida thread just yesterday to take up aligator wrestling or did you not use the catalog again?
Been wanting a "frame pack" found this one at Cal Ranch store, $75 USD. Very sturdy, can't wait to rig it out. I've got a 65 L dry bag to use for a main compartment.
Got the three piece snow shovel for $17 USD. Say this a year or two ago and went back for it, by my second trip, sold out! This time I could choose between red, org or blu. Got the red. I will strap it to the outside frame.
And a nice pair of Smartwool Hikers.
Getting ready to summit a 12,600' in mid Jan so the shovel might be nice for camp site prep.

I picked up the same shovel, pretty light.
Any advice on updating this old frame I have, the original hip belt and straps were trash.
I assume you're W of the rockies? We're about to get that same system here in a couple hours.

> W of Rocks
Assuming is appropriate.
Dave C has a video on A.L.I.C.E. frame mods worth wacthing, I fuger frame doesn't matter. This one is longer than A.L.I.C.E. with a far better hip belt. I may look into better sholder straps after some mileage.
Drilling holes for eyebolts or installing cleats for lash points.
Adding various Maxpedition/Blackhawk type modular bags and pouches for custom carry.
I'm thinking pool noodle or foam pipe insulation...

One last thhing, people are replacing shit A.L.I.C.E. straps and belts with MOLLE straps and belts ("Hellcat" mod I think), you might look to milsurp stores or ebay for those or google img mod. for ideas.

What's the best way to boil a BIG (60-100 qt) pot of water over an open fire? Camping for my bachelor party and going to do either a crawfish or lobster boil.
>>667884
Either of these two will work, depending on what's available.
>>667885
good idea kevin let him rest a huge post of chili on burning wood so people can gather around to watch its spill when then wood crumbles. i wouldnt even suggest stones unless you were 99% confident in how leveled and founded the stones were. OP surely you can google a rig for your pot, and bonus point if you can fit the whole rig into the pot itself
Probably the most intense pure wilderness survival movie I have ever seen.

I was pretty hype for it but having seen it I honestly don't know if I liked it.
I understand not having the screen time for the southward journey, you have to make some concessions converting to a screenplay, but Iñárritu could have played out much more of the survival drama if he hadn't blown all his screen time on artsy shots of rivers and trees and dream sequences. In the screenplay they went with, Glass gets mauled by a bear and is more or less ambulatory within what feels like a few days, there's no sense of time or hardship with no doubt and it's...

i agree with pretty much everything u said. it was beautifully realised but i wanted more of the survival part of the story - it left me feeling underwhelmed. i even watched it a second time to check i wasnt being overly critical.
i guess the book just doesnt translate well into a movie.
Punke did his survivalist research, that's for sure. Every single step of every single thing Glass did to make fires and traps, etc. etc. on his long trek back to civilization after getting mauled by a bear is in excruciating detail in the blandest prose possible.
If any book could benefit from visual shortcuts and a condensing of action & time, it's this one. Should have just stuck with the movie.
Total snorefest.
I've been seeing a lot of innawoods guides.

Does anyone here use a bivy bag?
I happily use a tent for my /out/ings normally, but I've been working a graveyard shift for the past couple (and next several) months which requires me to sleep a bit during the day. I haven't been spending long days /out/ because spending 5-10 minutes setting up and another 5-10 taking down my tent for a 45 minute catnap seems terribly inefficient. My tent also isn't really snow-proof and winter has finally started here in New England.
It occurred to me that I might circumvent some of these problems by getting...
