Anyone else packed and heading out this weekend? Weather is nice so gonna go out fora week and do some back country camping in BC. How about you guys?
Nope, not this week's end. Still too shitty up north for fun hiking/camping. Once the leaves come-in it'll be better. Only thing I have to do this weekend is go out to my secret monument in the woods and plant some trees to help hide/landscape it. :^3
>>750376
>my secret monument in the woods and plant some trees to help hide/landscape it.
Oo What general area?
>>750369
Would you recommend that sleeping pad over an inflatable one? I've thought about getting one but they seem so bulky even if their lightweight.
>>750379
>secret monument
i'm not at liberty to say anonfriend ;]
Sadly No pulling a double 24hr shift.
>>750384
Noice. You built it yourself I'm guessing. How many pounds of concrete did you have to carry?
>>750384
Harpoon IPA FTW
>>750395
it's 48" tall, most of it (~32") is underground. it's 10" in diameter. it has rebar reinforcment inside that protrudes a further 10" from the bottom into a 100lb concrete footing at the base of the hole. all-up we're looking at around 350bs of concrete and steel. it was poured and assembled elsewhere and the ~280lb pillar was rolled ingeniously through the forest to the location of the pre-dug hole. the concrete footing was dumped-in and we simply slid the unmoveable beast into it and filled it in with dirt and rocks all while checking to keep it level. a bulldozer would struggle to remove it.
Gonna go camping by a river near town with some buds. Gonna go Saturday night, cook up some meat, have a fire and all that. Wake up Sunday, go down under the railroad bridge, tune my old radio to some shitty am radio talk show and cast a line. It's been too long sc/out/s, can't wait.
>pic related, cooking spam at the river shore
sounds lovely. whereabouts you do this? rural or suburban? urban?
>>750579
Good times ahead non. Enjoy every minute. Post pics if you catch any.
>>750583
Slightly rural. I live in central California, small farm Town rapidly turning into a medium suburb. The river is at the edge of town, there's a trailer park on the opposite shore but it's far away enough to not be a bother
>>750585
Thanks man, I'll get some good pics and post them some time Sunday
>>750659
sounds nice. enjoy it while you still can!
>>750369
Yup. Was about to start this thread myself.
It's just a short 5-day trip. Were hiking in to Snoqualmie for some lake fishing in the rain.
>>750677
Cont.
Here the bag unpacked. Not pictured is a pack of cheese for the sausage wraps and 2L camelbak reservoir.
>>750678
Oops... and my cook kit. Not taking the one on the right this trip, just the Stanley, the wood burn can, alcohol stove and fuel.
>>750382
Second for CCF pads. Air mats are just asking to spend a night trying to find and fix leaks. That said, I prefer to use a cocoon, and not take a pad at all.
>>750678
what's all the foodstuffs? i see summer sausage, trail mix, instant taters... what's the rest?
ALSO i have that same pocket jiuce™ thing! couple questions:
1. how do you like it?
2. has the button and flashlight function broken yet?
i use that to run my recording rig and it's fucking heroic. itll run my recorder, with backlight on, with the preamps up, and put out phantom power for the mics, all while running headphones - and it'll do it for hours. its capacity seems to well exceed AAs. it cost me like $8 as an impulse buy at the checkout and it was so fuckin worth it.
>>750680
muh negrofam i have the stanleycooker too (the left one)
>>750683
I've got a Knorr Spanish rice and chicken rice above the mashed potatoes, and a Yakisoba bowl on the top left, repackaged. A couple big bags of honey roasted peanuts and dried cranberries, some instant oatmeal, tortillas under the summer sausage, and some soup down on the bottom left. The rest is all gear: tackle and power eggs top left, GI poncho, hammock/cocoon sleeping bag + straps, power pack/flashlight, toilet paper, toothbrush obviously, and a Zefal bladder + Sawyer mini for refilling my camelbak.
I've had the power pack for a couple years, it works well enough as a flashlight, but I've been thinking about switching the LED for a red one, (fedora-tier milspecey bullshit, but less likely to been seen when stealth camping). So far, it's held up pretty well. I think it's a 1650 battery, same stuff they put in laptops.
>>750685
I've used dozens of cook kits, and it's definitely my favorite. Its modified to use the handle as a bail, so I can hang it over a fire.
>>750688
I'm leaving early and don't use the webs while /out/, but if the thread's up when I get back, I'll report back, check it out, and we can compare notes.
>>750691
>I'm leaving early and don't use the webs while /out/, but if the thread's up when I get back, I'll report back
No. You have to post pics and tell us how it went. If anything interesting or funny you must greentext it. Come on man, there are some of us that can't go /out/ erry weekend because of reasons.
>>750691
>I've had the power pack for a couple years, it works well enough as a flashlight
be careful - it'll fail! it's a super delicate and dodgy contact and it'll break without warning. yours lasted a lot longer than mine but just don't rely heavily on it!
sounds like some good grub. i've never had one of those yakisoba bowls (i'm a ramen/nongshim kinda guy myself) but i should pick one up sometime. i love fried noodles so i should get away from the soups a bit. ever try the mi goreng variety? they're tough to find in Merka but they are so fucking delicious. it's just ramen (not meant to be a soup) with a ton if packets of sauces and oils and such and you mix it all up and hnnnng. probably absolutely toxic tho
>>750694
Fine, lol. I'll bring the solar charge and try to remember to take pics of everything.
>>750698
I don't really use flashlights anyway, unless I need to find something in my bag at night. Getting up to piss or even hang my cocoon is easy enough to do by starlight.
I like the Yakisoba, but I'll see if I can find the others you mentioned. It sounds basically the same, dried veggies, sauce packet and it ends up as a pretty decent chow mein. I've never done it as a BIB before, so I'll let you know how it turns out.
Damn guys... you almost let me /out/ of the house without my beanie. I could've caught a cold! Its all good, I caught my mistake. I'll think I'll pack an extra pair of socks while I'm at it...
Going camping and squirrel hunting this weekend, might bring my brother along. Should be fun, I love camping and this will be my first time hunting.
>>751006
What are you going to use to hunt them?
>>751014
A single shot 12 gague. I know it's a little over the top, but I don't own a .22 and my K31 would be absolutely absurd to use on small game. In all likelihood, it'll just be my brother and I hiking around and taking (and missing) the occasional shot at a squirrel, which I'm perfectly happy with.
>>751026
*gague
Sometimes I'm retarded.
Anyways, here's a pic.
>>750401
but ... why?
>>751029
the world is full of monuments to different things anon. births, deaths, wars, triumphs and tragedies, friendships, enemyships, navy ships, animals, histories, peoples, religions, dreams and regrets. this is just another one.
>>751027
Van't you get a pellet gun? A shotgun looks like a little too much. You plan to eat them?
>>750369
I honest to god thought you had packed a giant pink wafer biscuit.
>>751259
sweet jesus anon could you imagine?
i'm relatively skinny but i've become skinnyfat over winter so now i'm just eating chicken, vedgies, fruit, and simple grains. suffice to say i'm dying for sugar and carbs and ho-phuc i would love one of them sandy little sugar wafers right now
>>751254
>overkill
Better than underkill, but that's just the /k/ommando in me.
I could get a pellet gun, but I already have the shotgun for range fun/ pet project/ HD, so I figure I'd try it out for hunting too. It's got a full choke so I just have to aim it so the shot pattern just catches the head.
>You plan to eat them?
Of course.
>>750387
Fireman/EMT?
Don't have much time but gonna haunt some old glade woods for fungi for a few hours. Wish me happy spoils.
I was going to but my plans have been dashed for the third fucking weekend in a row, this is not cool
>>751267
>this is why I browse /out/
haha, thanks mang! snowing in scotland? sheeeit. have fun!
>>751275
Depends on whether or not I remember to buy it honestly. a pack of 50 night-crawlers is well worth 3 dollars, but finding worms usually isn't that hard if i happen to forget.
3 step guide on finding suitable worms:
1. find some nice loamy ground that you suspect worms would be delighted to live in
2. make tippy tappy sounds on the ground (simulates rain, makes them come up most of the time)
3. collect worms.
alternative step 2: dig a bit, find some worms
I'm getting ready to road trip from Salt Lake to Alaska, gonna be mostly camping along the way.
>>751273
Noice. Hope you have fun with your brother bra.
>>751262
>tfw cutting
Feel you breh
>>751323
Thanks!
>>751322
salt lake? stop by Jackson, Wyoming and say hi. lots of good camping spots around here, even though there's still snow in the mountains.
>>751326
i don't think i can keep it up. i can eat 10lbs of fruits and veggies a day (which i can't f*cking afford btw) and i'm still hungry all the time! a double/triple serving of cream of wheat, some tendies and a bowl of rice, and i'm starving by 11pm. i can't afford to add more chicken or tuna each day. i can only afford pasta and potatoes and rice and well....
>>751350
Poorfag here too. Water is your friend when on a cut.
>>751342
I'm actually going through Seattle to see friends and then taking the Cassiar up.
>>751350
Try adding beans or lentils they're cheap and filling
>>751370
yeah man i'm gonna start keeping up with the water. and green tea too, no sweetener
>>751378
yeah umma make a taco-flavored rice & beans thing tomorrow. it's gloriously delicious, bretty healthy, and so very good for /out/. plus it makes days of food for like $6
2 x 10oz cans of Ro-Tel
1 x 15oz can of black or red beans (Goya is the best) *drained and rinsed*
1 cup dry rice
1 x packet of taco seasoning (i prefer the hot & spicy one)
• dump all ingredients into rice cooker
• add about 1-1.5 cups of water (1 cup of rice needs about 1.5 cups of liquid... some of this comes from the Ro-Tel so use common sense. you can always add water partway through cooking if it looks like it's too dry)
• stir that shit
• put rice cooker on white rice cook cycle and get your taco shells and salsa ready!
>>751350
eat some fat with your veggies, it will make them more filling
you need to eat fat in order to live
>>751445
This, fat helps you in a lot of ways it's just gotta be the right fats.
Nuts and olive oil are good fat, avocados (but pricey, damn 9 month growing cycle), or you can get marrow bones and fat trimmings from the butcher for pretty cheap.
>>751445
>>751783
i eat olive oil with my salads and when i cook my tendies i tend(ie) to use olive as well. i should eat more fishes too, but $$$
also I eat peanut butta' every day too. i think if i'm just patient and cut out the nasty carbs and sweets i'll cut a pound or two a week. i do a few hours of intense cardio a week now that it's not freezing out as well.
Bone broth.
Cheap, tasty, nutritionally dense.
>>750369
what model backpack and sleeping pad is that?
>>751385
Oatmeal and black or pinto beans is a legit and affordable power breakfast.
Bonus if you can toss some cheese, a poached egg and/or avocado on top.
>>751847
Pack=MEC Brio 70L
Pad=no name made in china thing that works surprisingly well.
>>751847
Pad looks like a giant wafer cookie
>>752112
and OP's the sugar p:
>>750585
Just got back, going to get situated then post some pics. Didn't get any bites, but had fun enouhh
>>751287
Am back. Actually got pretty decent weather.
Pic related is my backpack morning after.
>>751350
Control your portion sizes, then, dude.
Breakfast this morning
>>753460
>plastic handle over open fire
>nonstick coating all scratched off
also your car camping thats the only way you can bring bacon
>>753461
;}
but really it's for a friend of ours who died, there were three of us and now only two. so whatever man
>>753462
We backpacked, cast iron was too heavy. No car, pic related is our tent.
>>753464
you're not a gay because of your little pillar thing, you're a gay because you type out those little faces
just for the record
>>753475
ooooh of course '~'
>>753472
>white shirt

>>753472
>No car,
>pic related is our tent.
You hauled that humongous thing on your backs?
Either lying, or impressive.
>>753528
that tent is gayer than the 6 way gay sex you had in it
>>753528
>Male
i was hoping so
>>753529
Thanks senpai
>>753472
If you weren't more than 10 miles /out/in/ you were car camping.
>>753528
jesus h. how much did that beast weigh?
>>753592
We were about 7 or so miles out. The tent wasn't that heavy, maybe 15-20 odd pounds
>>753666
got any more pics
>>753668
Stop gaying so hard on that poor guy.
>>753670
you know anon, you're right. sorry :[
>>753674
Sorry, not posting him anymore
>>750677 I'm back.
Lake was a little frozen, rained like crazy for the first couple days.
>>753783
looks beautiful and bleak. love it!
>>753783
We were pretty much camping in a cloud.
>>753785
The laketop froze at night, drifted away in the morning, taking my line and pole with it.
>>753786
So we left and went morel hunting instead.
>>753799
My friend made a dredge and we were able to pull it back up to shore. I'll need to take it apart and make sure it doesn't rust.
We're cleaning them right now, back at the house, firing them up in butter with shallots and garlic to make a mushroom gravy for grilled chicken.
>>753816
mm sounds awesome
I was /out/ with my roommates down in western Alabama and come about 4:30 it come up a cloud started blunderin down a torrent upon us. I shimmy lead us up the hillside get up under a cliff overhang where we are dry and suggest we camp up in here. Noooo they said, we gotta go back down on the trail and set up the damn tent. Come 8:15 it's dark, 40 degrees, still comin a deluge, and there's a puddle inside the tent the size of Reelfoot lake I tell ya. Not to mention the zippers on the tent broke and won't shut so wind and rain are flyin in constantly. I'm soaked, no way of gettin dry, no way of makin Fire, food wet and ruined and my shit King roommate dropped the flashlight and shattered it on a rock. I lay awake literally all night long shivering like a sum bitch and I swear by time the sun come up My beer belly a gone and turnt into a shredded six pack from shivering so. Worst night of my life.
7/10 experience
Went hunting with my brother in Gus Engling WMA this weekend. Didn't get anything, but the scenery and weather were beautiful, I got to have some fun with my brother, and I don't think I'll ever forget seeing flocks of hundreds of cranes fly overgead just before dawn.
>>753839
Can I go /out/ with you sometime
This was fun
Guess the location
>>755417
>>755418
turtle
>>755417
Looks like a Monet peyton to me
uuh the Saco or Swift river?
>>755420
Kek sure looks that way due to my camera and the sun reflecting off of FUCKING EVERYTHING was a poor time to take pics admittedly
Also no try more southwest (i should also mention i didnt camp here it was more of just a hike) i'm honestly surprised i found something this chill here though
[spoiler]http://www.clarkcountynv.gov/parks/Pages/cc-wetlands-park-homepage.aspx[/spoiler]
>>751032
why so obtuse anon? are you gonna tell us what it's for or not
>>755904
Idiot.
