Daily Compass Thread General aka /cg/
Hey boys, what compass are you guys currently using?
I've been doing the 9C method recently and really enjoying it. Provides a really good sense of security when I'm innawoods.
>>755779
Honestly, for 95% of my /out/ activities a Suunto Clipper and a map is more than enough. On multi-week hikes I also carry pic related plus a Rapex.
Pic related, does everything I need it to.

with a bit of practice you can always tell where north is.
Does anyone have a hobo stove like this? Does it works good?
>>753268
That particular design isn't very good. If it had larger holes in the top it'd work well enough for cooking though it would need some holes around the top of the side if you were to use pots/pans with it. If you are just making a fire for fire's sake then it is fine I suppose.
>>753276
the idea is to cook with it since during summer is really dangerous making a fire where I live.

Mushrooms, berries, common weeds beach foraging.
What to look for?
What to avoid?
General forage thread.
>>750910
I'd love to know what mushrooms are safe to eat but I don't so no thanks
>>750913
Yeah everyone just leave it to a pro.
Google has only helped me with common weeds

I'm going to be hiking the PCT this year, so can we get a couple regular sc/out/s to screencap and repost this as necessary?
There are no poisonous crown berries (like blueberries or huckleberries), there are no poisonous compound berries (like raspberries or blackberries), there are no poisonous fruits that look like strawberries. All parts of all grasses (like rice or maize) are edible, all parts of all brassicas (like broccoli or ocra) are edible (Brassicas all have four long sepals, two short sepals,...

Any experiences with these while /out/?

It's like they want you to clog it with sediment in 5 seconds.
Depends on what you currently use to filter water. I have a Sweetwater system and love being able to pump out three liters in a few minutes. My friend has a lifestraw and just puts it in a nalgene bottle, but I tend to be the guy with the most water on our group trips.
Dont fucking buy one they are useless your throat will be sorr from sucking literally as hard as you can and that probably burns more water and energy than you could consume with one of these stupid, easily cloggable, gimmick, lies of life saving devices. Never trust your life with one. Buy a solar or manual pump style filter.

where are you headed to
>>760315
Pennine Way (UK), just doing 3 nights though
So /out/, how do I start on the journey towards being a survivalist/outdoorsman?
I've basically just grown up in the suburbs and never had anyone to teach me basic skills so where do I start? What are some good books or resources?
I know, read the sticky, but the links in the sticky are dead for the most part. Or at least the pdf's in the sticky are broken.
>>760085
Why would you post that cruel af pic man, what the fuck is wrong with you?
>>760090
I didn't really know what pic to use and just chose one at random
>>760102
So here's your first lesson. Your dogs always on a leash. Respect the land. If you are going to hunt, do it humanly and make the best of the animal you killed. We don't kill for the lulz. Don't litter and make your best effort to leave the place as close to what it looked liked when you arrived. If there's litter around, bring it back with you and put it into a trash can. And actually go /out/. Start with day hikes, take notes about what you used and what you didn't, what worked and what did...

The great sate of Kentucky my friend.
I am planning on building a shieling this summer like in the one in the picture which I took the other day of a long abandoned one.
Shielings are small stone cabins which Scottish people lived in during the Summer time to graze their sheep. I plan on useing mine as a shelter in the Summer time which will be my base of operation when I'm out and about on the moors and hills of my local area.
I'm doing research right now on dry stone building techniques so I was wondering if anyone here has any links to places with information or has experience in this...

Here is a picture from the inside of the shieling.
On the left is a fire place in which I'm cooking some soup. On the right are a couple of interesting artifacts, a cast iron stove and a tea pot.
Close up of the stove. The chimney pipe has rusted and broken of.

Is my backpack good for going /out/?
I wanna start doing ultralight hiking but don't wanna spend any more than necessary. Not sure what model but it is a Jansport.
Does it do the job and does it feel comfortable? if so yes it works if not then no.
>>759328
Nothing wrong with it man. What are you planning to bring with you?
>>759333
Honestly I don't know anything about ultralight camping, I don't plan on a tent, only a hammock. Any help is appreciated.
So my spring semester of college ends, and I've been telling myself that I will start going innawoods for the first time this summer.
However, I have absolutely NO equipment what so ever, save for some decent knives.
What all am I going to need to go out? Can you guys give me a list? Ive been book marking stuff ive been thinking about getting, but id like to run down the basics and the wants with you guys.
Tips would be appreciated too. thanks /out/
>>759228
Tell us what do you think you need and we will give you ideas from that. Keep in mind that you need water, food, shelter and a heat source just to stay alive.
Especially if you're not too concerned with weight, there's a TON of used shit out there for you to grab for next to nothing, OP.

oh jeez incoming milsurp trolls
Found this while I was cleaning some bass earlier. It looks like a worm and it's definitely alive. Is it still safe to eat the fish?

Hello, I am not regular in here but I feel you all may be qualified to help me.
In two months I'll have mandatory military field exercise for 14 days. Could you suggest what items or gear should I bring ? Because most of time we will stay in self made camp. My military gear is standard Nato gear. I am thinking about bringing a lot of cigarettes to trade for food/snacks. Have no idea what I should bring more.
Plus I have important question how to shit in woods so I wouldn't shit on my military uniform. I know I should practice it somewhere, but fear someone...

Anybody else have pics/ stories of early season water outings. I've been waiting for months to get on the water and was happy to get out there this week. Photos taken at De Soto Bend wildlife refuge.

All of the dead trees are from a flood in 2011 when the Missouri River over flowed. It's kind of eerie throught the whole refuge because there are dead trees everywhere mixed among ones that survived
