I need a wet weather outer layer, what would you reccomend from your personal experience? I'm leaning towards the modern VKBO (BTK Group)/russian 5th layer as i'm a big fan of the EMR/Digi Flora pattern. Whatever i buy will be used on multi day trips in mountain terrain, boreal forest, and prairie. I'd like to avoid vibrant colours and stay with earthy tones, as i sometimes need to maintain stealth during my trips. Thank you
>>2064737Use thishttps://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/austrian-field-jacket-w-membrane-surplus/556I have been using it for about a year now and love it. Completely windproof and big enough to through insulating layers under it. Also very waterproof, never had any leakage in downpours. It would be too hot to use in hot weather though. In hot weather, I use a poncho because it doubles as a tarp.
>>2064737Just ask your mom to buy you a new raincoat, you little shit.
>>2064737>i sometimes need to maintain stealth during my tripsWhy, pray tell?
I currently have a gore-tex rain jacket, but I dont like how crunchy and wide fitting it is.How do I find a good, inexpensive design that fits close to the skin and quieter, but also isnt some soft-shell meme that gets soaked if it starts raining more than a light drizzle?

>>2066194Yeah wasn’t really my area of expertise. I did hike a bunch of trails though. If you’ve never been to the Fernow experimental forest near Parsons, I’d recommend a trip. Lots of mushrooms and cool flowers all over the place back there.
>>2066206I've been nearby, hiked around otter creek/moore run. I feel like actual trails are somewhat limited in Fernow.
>>2066208It’s pretty open understory from what I remember. I’d just chart a fairly straight path to my plots.
How do we define larping?>not going out but purchasing /out/ related gear>posting about going /out/ when not actually going out>arguing about /out/ related gear that you have never used>asking for /out/ advice before you've ever done any>going /out/ but in a way I do not approve of>daydreaming about leaving civilization behind>all of the above
>>2066080Most of the people who gatekeep DO go out, they just camp/backpack and are unwilling to share where exactly they go due to autism and antisocial tendencies. i.e. all the people who post unlabeled photos in out photography threadsimho its pointless to post photos with zero context

Since when did the catalog get so flooded with threads about teenagers running away from their mother's basement?>Post pictures of your most recent /out/ing
>>2065647>Burgers try and into bong /out/ rulesWhy are you talking so confidently when you clearly don't know your arse from your elbow. If you tried to "follow" those piles you would have walked in a small circle around all the other rocks then when you gave up on that, walked off the actual un marked cliff when you eventualy got to it.
From my most recent /out/ing this weekend with a mate I hadn't seen for months because of the corona lockdowns, was very comfy
>>2066187And from the evening right before we stalked flashlight wielding glowies through the woods hiding behind rocks n shit to not be seen
>>2066130>thinks his tiny island has the patent on cairns.Just because your country hasn't figured out stacked rock technology, doesn't mean everyone plays by the same rules as you.
I'm actually /out/ right now. I would send pics but the connection here is slow and patchy.
Been looking for a new all around jacket that that is adaptable for both colder and warmer weather.Pic related have stoked my interest since it utility of the pockets isn't hampered by a backpacks hip belt (since you can run it under the jacket, Through the side zippers), good ventilation options and a really nice hood for shitty weather.I'm not to concerned with it being to warm since I probably will be fine with just a shirt in warmer weather. inb4 "larp hipster gear"
who come in 2021 there is still so much difference between city and rural people? it's baffling, there is internet, we consume the same medias, but you can see the difference even on this board.. it's kinda depressing if you think
>>2066123There's no white people in cities
>>2066148We already make all the material
>>2066117>IRL, ruralfrens are generally pretty nice to mwhy don't you talk to them openly about your homosexuality next time faggot
>>2066166homophobe bastard
>>2066166it's pretty obvious that I'm gay just from hearing my voice
Science has spoken.......camping is a LARP
>>2065960based anon, I wasn't ragging on people who's parents didn't do this, just at the cunts who are oblivious to it and seem mad others actually enjoy it.
>>2065958>I *almost* pity them for wasting their lives.Nobody on 4chan should be pitying anyone else for wasting their lives
>>2065960Could be worse. I grew up in AK and FL, never cared about fishing. Moved to AZ, decided hey, fishing is cool. Fucked up man. Fucked up.
>>2065988fuck man. F. big oof. glad you got it now tho versus later.
>>2065732I don't think he is Jewish. Primalpoly is one of the more based scientists.
Looking at Keane, Chaco and Crocs. I will be wearing it mostly for fishing so not for any long hikes or anything but maybe a mile walk down the river or so. I have never owned Crocs but have heard good things. Looking at their Swiftriver mesh sandals. And the originals.For Keane looking at the fisherman sandal. Pic related.Anyone have a recommendation on this?Anyone have any recs?
If you wear crocs you will slip and die
Ecco sandals with receptor(tm) soleBest I've had
>>2065604>ChacosGaaaaay>Crocscomfy but stinky AF and thorns go right through>KeensOverpriced and the sole has a tendency to come unglued. Just get some cheap aquasocks for $20 bucks and call it good.
>>2066195let's not use gay in a disparaging mannerhurt feelings aren't good
>>2066197Irrelevant, go dilate chaco fag.
would you rather go out alone, or with a girl?why?
>>2064225where is this?
>>2066178It's difficult I'll admit. But she's kinda really sexy so I'd be - 1 sexy gf>>2066179Snowdonia
>>2066178Dudeman just described hiking with any girlfriend. You can't just push everyone who irritates you off a cliff.
>>2066184looks beautiful there
>>2066196I was referring to the photo
My question:I got this pack (not the exact picture) from my father after I found it in his attic. I have never external packed before, but I know that your supposed to attach the heavy stuff to the top. My tent is large, and heavy. How do I attach it there when there is no way to attach stuff to the top?
>>2065884I've been trying for about 15 years
>>2065894>he regurgitates shit he steals from others>tfw you die in the wilderness because you read Mors, Nessmuk, Beard, Wiseman etc. so any technique you could have used would be stolen from them.
>>2062322Thanks, anon. Nice dubs.
Where are all the oxen in the PNW?I figured there would be lots from pulling the wagon trains over.
>>2066032uh did you miss the last couple centuries where we replaced beasts of burden with machines? ever heard of a tractor?
Is Canada the most /out/ country?
>>2065811ahah i stand corrected it actually shows desmarais behind the writing up top there. neat
>>2062158Hell yes brother, love me little island
What is NWT like? How about Yukon?
>>2065759International Falls is the US side of Fort Frances, so not Canada.
>>2062138Lower population density. I'm jealous of Yellowstone though.
I know that people get burns from the hot water, but dissolved basically immediately?https://www.businessinsider.com/yellowstone-dissolved-tourist-fell-pool-2016-11
>>2065715No one's getting dissolved immediately, or even quickly. It's an hours long process. What happens is someone who shouldn't be wandering off the trail, wanders off the trail, and they fall in. Someone finds bones or a half dissolved dude days later.
>>2065755Yes they stopped being in style 10 years ago
>>2065923Holy shit city people are fucking retarded
>>2066147Why do they keep selling them
>>2065923>How bout the time those jeets abducted a baby bison because they thought it was cold, proceeded to drive it to a ranger station and it got rejected by the herd and had to be euthanisedhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/news/animalia/wp/2016/05/16/baby-bison-dies-after-yellowstone-tourists-put-it-in-their-car-because-it-looked-cold/People's stupidity still manages to amaze me.
how would you go about making a bed platform over this. I don't want to remove the seat
>>2065485Jesus christ you can't be serious. It's like you're doing everything to avoid actually enjoying the outdoors while being there. Either get a better camping rig or fucking forget the car idea. There is no "just as good" here. It's going to be shit. Sell that faggy honda and buy an old land cruiser like a man.
Weak as piss mate, sleep in the fucking chair or grow a set and hike.
>>2064828I too enjoy head gasket replacement and being a lesbian
>>2064819My frenchie has such comfortable seats i dont need to make a platform , they go abit downer than yours but its about as good as a bed.

i got a bunch of adjustable strapping ropes (for bicycles and trailers) figure i could strap em around my backpack for a compressing effect in it right? One on the bottom and one on the top, or just one in the middle?
alright, i got it working. shame on the wasted straps tho that i had to cut off
>>20646192nd'ed, larpers need permission from a sudanese flint knapping forum to tie a strap around a bag
>>2065059i just wanna know if it is a good idea before cutting ropes
what is that dumb ass child going to do with just a bear
>>2065331hobo life, what's in the bag? a big ass bear
