Sadly the picture is unrelated to where I'll be. I'm going to be in a green, woodsy area.

What's up /out/ I'm lookin to get into backpacking. I've done a bunch of camping and hiking in my life along with other outdoor recreation like skiing and etc, but I'm now looking to get into a new outdoor sport that will really test my mind and body and i want to do some long hikes ( 5-6 days, lots of miles and maybe a thru hike someday if I like it enough.)
So I have two questions for you guys:
A: what are some great places to do said backpacking ?
B: what are some examples of gear you would all consider neccesary ?
I already...

A: In the forest, mountains and desert. Anywhere away from people really.
B: Shelter, Sleeping gear, cooking gear, food, appropriate clothes and something to carry the gear in.
>A: what are some great places to do said backpacking ?
Well that obviously depends on where you live. If you're British like me, going to Scotland is best because of the much more relaxed wild camping laws.
That's a lot of weight to pack for any length, especially multi-day. That's not to say you need to go 100% lightweight gearfag.
I'd look into getting a good bladder system for water instead of your collapsible container.
Go with lighter food options, denser calories like salami, or freeze dried.
I believe I see an air pump. If so, that's a luxury for car camping, honestly.
I don't see a tent, but I see two tarps. Nothing wrong with that, if that's your jam.
Your spool of cord is way too big/thick. It's...

What is a reliable offline GPS app?
http://indefinitelywild.gizmodo.com/how-to-turn-your-android-phone-into-the-ultimate-gps-na-1592832379
Some anon posted this a little over a year ago. I've downloaded the ap, and looked up maps. To be honest, it's a bit of work, but I'm going to plug away at it next time I have down time.
I'm working on turning my spare phone into a dedicated /out/ device. Got a life proof case for it for 10 bucks on woot!
Good luck, brother.

Finally got some snow in upstate New York and got yo put some miles on the sled. Any one here like to snowmobile? If so what do you have? (pic related is mine)
Fuck yeah snowmobiling! Finally got some decent snow here too (estonia). Can't wait to go riding with my dad.
>>658292
Awesome! what kind of snowmobiles do you guys use out there?

Platts-fag here. Where are you?
Hey hunters, what book would you recommend for studying up on animal tracks? I know that experience is the best teacher but I have no one to show me the ropes.
I've gone with a few guys on truck hunting (which is not my thing) and I've learned how to gut, but now I'd like to pack up my stuff and walk into the bush tracking my game.
I've got the gear, knives, guns, etc, but I don't know how to read the tracks, the land on the migration, diet of game animals, that kind of shit.
Any good books I can read before next hunting season?

You sure the place isn't a haunted ground?
That looks WAY too detailed to just be a random log.

Should public land be given back to the people like Cliven Bundy recommends.
>>647092
>given back
>implying it was ever his to begin with
>>647092
it is for the people. if you dont like how theyre managed, you work with other people who agree to advocate for a management change until you have a sizable interest group.
while resorting to Ad Hominem is a lame approach to an argument, Cliven Bundy himself is not one to talk about public land. id like to flood that fuckers mailbox with copies of A Sand County Almanac in the off chance the last few chapters hit home.

Yes, please give half dome to some rich guy for his 10th vacation home
Wanna buy a gun that's a good all around bush and hunting gun on a budget. I've been looking at the Remington 700 ADL in 30-06, though i've heard the action is kind of sloppy. Any suggestions? Also post your bush guns!

You know the right choice op. Or a mares leg, can't shill for those enough.
>>656210
What do you plan on hunting OP? 30-06 is pretty big for most game, unless you're around moose and brown bear, then it's useful.
It does kind of limit your options for smaller game, but the 30-06 is a tried and tested caliber that is very popular, easy to find ammo, and relatively affordable to shoot.
Personally I'm a fan of Savage rifles. They just shoot great. For a bush gun, you want it to be durable, so I'd get a stainless barrel model. Personally I like .308 since ammo is affordable,...

Daniel Boone was a man
Was a big big man
but the bear was bigger so he ran like a nigger through the woods
And he cried as he wept
The bear was not inept
and so he was eaten... dudes

Any paleos on /out? Professional, amateur, incidental, whatever.
Pic related was my first good find. Some articulated mosasaur vert from pierre shale beds near Rapid City. Been back on the property a few towns, we've found tons of fish, plesiosaur, diving birds and sea turtles. Definitely prefer field work to lab work
>>654902
not really but I've found some ammonites fishing. Some other fisherman found an entire t-rex skeleton in a place where I fish some years ago after some flooding. Basically embedded in a cliff wall. Generally where I fish is a very fossil rich area.
>>654943
Where do you usually fish? I've heard there's some Cenozoic stuff on some kansas lake shores
I'm a quaternary scientist, not exactly paleo but hey ho. If I ever come across an exposed soil horizon I sometimes have a scrape at it. I then sit at camp and have a think if I'm alone and bored.
Hey /out/
There is a remote location that needs power. Helicopter can't get in. Current weak snowmobiles couldn't make it.
I'm planning to snowshoe in. It's 19km from the nearest public road. It's up a mountain quad trail.
I'll wear snow shoes. Viking rubber boats with multiple wool socks, with polypropaline base layer. Pants with snow pants on top. Layers, maybe two jackets with sweaters (I can always take one off). Gloves.
I'll be pulling a generator on a sled. Probably weighs 80 or so lbs.
Lots of food....

My first thought is what is it you need to power? How many watts is the total of what you'll be using in that location?
What are you fueling the generator with, if anything and what kind of generator is it?
>>652059
Need to power a radio communications system.
It's for a rural firedepartment, school district, first responders. It's gone out at the worst possible time.
5 to 24watts.
Gasoline generator. It has been used at high altitude before.
>>652060
Ah... been there, done that.
Tracked ATV might be a better choice over a snowmobile, depending on the terrain and amount of snow.
Are you sure it's without power, or did a controller/repeater die? Or some other equipment failure (Combiner, antenna, feedline, power dist.)?
Do you have anything alive on the site? (POTS? IP? Microwave?)
If it's a digital (P25 or DMR) system, I'd set up a 2nd/3rd repeater temporarily and link them over IP or P2P microwave until you can get to the primary...

so /out/, I want to get into bush-craft and survival. I live in a suburban area but since I live in the south, there are woods everywhere. what would you recommend I do to get started?
>>657750
self bump
>>657750
Easy there, Sport. This can be a slow board.
Also, I assume you mean you live in the south of the US. Where it's about midnight? You're posting to a bunch of Kiwis and Aussies right now.
If you mean the South Island or South Australia, specify that and we might be able to help.
>>657754
Yea southern US, southern Appalachia to be specific. Rough terrain and temperate weather.
I plan on going on my first thru hike in April. I'm going to Ocala National Forest in Florida with a few buddies for 10 days. Anyone have experience with thru hiking?
I've been solo hiking camping for a few years so I have basic experience. As far as gear, what should I additionally bring? Do i bother to wash my clothes? etc
By thru hiking, do you mean hiking? Or is it more different?
>>656658
Hiking from one trailhead to another. Just requires more planning with regard to food and transportation.
>10 days
I didn't know Ocala nf was that big
Where can I learn what wild plants and mushrooms are edible ?
Do you ever gather edibles on the trail just for fun ?
>General Cook/out/ Thread
>>655085
There's nothing better than fresh, ripe and free, except maybe not having to carry it. Just grab whatever you know is good as you walk along the trails.
Crown berries, compound berries, grasses and mustards are all always safe to eat.
Critter&cat-tail soup with mushrooms is common faire, because ingredients are always available. Take a cleaned and skinned furred animal (usually squirrel), boil for 30 or so minutes with a few cat-tail lower stalks (the white part) and as much mushroom as you can...
