what's a good pair of snow proof pants to go over over the baselayer and insulation layer?
I want to get a higher end bivi like the Rab Ridge Raider. I like that it's 4 seasons, very low profile for multiday, and quick to setup. Also, I would think that something smaller would insulate better. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Is MSR Reactor 1.7L Stove System too prosumer or is it worth it? This is a lot for a cooking system

Bros can i go camping using only a smersh system. Because it is pretty large and if i get the pkm model it has 4 large molle pouches. So will it work for ultralight hiking for a few day trips?
>>1986091NotOP here, how does one tell true SSO/SPOSN gear from fake shit? Greyshop was the first site I had seen with Russian web gear on it, but I appreciate the heads upTo be entirely honest I'm not sure if I would try doing this with Russian webgear primarily because its easier and cheaper for me to get US webgear where I'm at, but I am interested in trying this idea of camping using web gear (plus STALKing sounds pretty fun, so I'd want to get some for that at least) cool loadout picture by the way, if you've got any pictures if your current loadout I'd love to see it
>>1986378>how does one tell true SSO/SPOSN gear from fake shit? Greyshop was the first site I had seen with Russian web gear on it, but I appreciate the heads upHonestly just airshit forums there are plenty of airshitters with autism who spend considerable amount of time getting authentic gear. By western standards the gear is cheap as shit however so you might as well just go on ebay and buy from the first seller with good reviews.

I biked around the Vosges this autumn during the little corona break we had. Damn well needed trip. Very mountainous, even had to push my bike up some hills lol. Epic views though! Next time I'm going from north of Sweden to Spain. Any other fans of bicycletouring in here?
I'm wanting to go on some short tours this year, so I'm spending the winter just trying to get in some better shape and grab the camping gear and bike gear I'm lacking in order to start. Do you have any other pictures of your trip?
Realistically what can I hunt with this?Never hunted and hunting is illegal where I live but idc I just want to eat some juicy thing that I just killed
>>1985633Wabbit and squirrel are your best and best tasting options. Aim for the head on a wabbit and either head or ribs on a squirrel, since there's basically no meat there to be lost anyway. Keep it one the downlow though if hunting is Illegal, Karen sees you plug a squirrel she will have a screaming fit and call the cops and say you have a gun and then you'll get shot for the crime of ignoring a rule while white.
>>1985638Airguns can hunt large game, pretty accurate, takes less skill.
>>1985716Dunno why you posted that. .22 LR can travel more than a mile.
>>1985633Rabbits, Squirrel, Racoons, Rats, Birds (not flying obviously), Possum, Beaver. Essentially small game, use good shot placement.

Pistecucks begone. Starting this new thread since the ski general is overrun by resorties. Post OC pics, trip reports, resources for frens, complaints about the local snowpack, avy close calls, etc.ski touring, randonee, off-piste skiing, backcountry/slackcountry/sidecountry OK, splitboarders welcome, ski mountaineering encouraged. >I took pic related on a recent tour.
>>1983948echoing this. Backcountry is totally different than in-bounds. I feel like you really need to be comfortable skiing black diamond runs inbounds to really be comfortable on what might be a blue-equivalent backcountry run.That being said, there's plenty of places with low consequence terrain that you can go that are mostly safe.And be ready to hike. A lot.
>>1983902I've skied 30+ days in the backcountry this season already and never really ventured into territory where avalanches area a risk. As another anon said, there's tons of low-risk terrain.
bumping this before it dies :)
OC from early january in the austrian alps. the snow was great!
>>1986462
That would be so badass. If anyone can do it, its a 4chan anon.
>>1986078Bro, on GOD bro, I free soloed K2's Magic Line. On clutch tho. I'm so much cooler than the team that just summited. It ain't real mountaineering if you're out actually doing it. You need to brag about it on the internet bro.
>>1986078Yes. Only with my Mora knife and a blue tarp. Finding sticks to prop the tarp was the hardest part and ended up using my mora to widdle ice for poles.
>>1986078Yup, I'm the guy who left some orange peels there, /out/ still salty and seething.
>>1986078Ive done both while naked
>>1986078I'd like to say I free soloed your mom, but she always has a line out the door. Because your mother filthy whore. That's what I'm saying.
What's the best solar generator out there? I know the handheld ones are a meme, but what about the Jackery for bugging in? Any advice anons?
>>1983557we go from around 6 hours between sunset and sunrise to around 18 hours in the summer. i'm just glad i dont have to spend too much time in it, i hate the heat.
>>1982080This is fun, but the start up can get costly. I'm an electrician in the Seattle area, more and more ppl are doing this. Most using solar to charge the batteries, with a generator as back up to charge on really dark days. One guy told me he could do the set up himself, asked me to leave cause it looks stupid easy. He set it up wrong, his battery bank blew up.
>>1981679Depends entirely upon what you're charging.
>>1981679>handheld ones are a memeI’m very happy with mine.

Any spooky/unexplainable stories, or fun and enjoyable stories are appreciated.Been a long time lurker on /out/ and not entirely sure how to greentext, but still would like to share some of the shit my siblings and I have seen out in the woods and mountains.
>>1984476>that reading comprehension
>>1982559No a story per-se, but our group of 3 was camping down near racehorse creek, not at the provincial camp site but across the bridge and about 4km in. Woke up to some old guy going through our stuff. Yelled at him and he ran off up the trail going upriver. That was ~5 years ago and haven't gone back.>>1982831isn't that an x-file episode?
>>1982559A friend of mines been doing live in maintenance work at the old camp out at Nordegg Alberta and he swears the place is haunted. Hes in charge of these bunk houses / towers as well as some other buildings on site, and keeps hearing and seeing all sorts or strange shit.
>>1986042>isn't that an x-file episode?"cattle mutilation" was a big spoop meme since back in the 80's.
>>1984476That’s my answer to every story I have read here. I have a place in the woods 2 hours from Hobema, no natives because you either live in hobema or escape hobema, not live 2 hours from hobema if your native. I have no stories like this.
What are /out/'s thoughts on pic related for extended use? I'm toying with going vagabond for awhile, and a tarp seems like the logical choice.>inb4 fuck off larper because honestly it kinda is, mostly im just daydreaming while tryna not kms over this fucking semester
>>1984893hammocks are easy to take down if you passed kindergarten
>>1984893More material and more work than a tent.
>>1984893Heavier and shittier tent. Great for larping as a big bad hobo on reddit but if bugs are a thing I'd rather spend the extra three minutes rolling up a tent so I'm not picking wasps out my dick skin even if I get less cool guy points.
>>1984893Anyone claiming tarps are just all around better is outing themselves as a west coast fair weather faggot or someone who lives in the desert. The rest of the country doesn’t go through a three-season drought like the east coast and has bugs, sometimes even in the winter. A tarp is great if you know it’s not going to rain (ie, you’re in California and it’s not November-March). If it could rain any time of the year (the rest of the country Lol), a tent makes more sense. The same is kind of true about a hammock. They’re great if you know the area you’ll be in. I know I’ll be somewhere in the South, so there’s going to be a place for it. But if I’m riding a random train someone in the West or sleeping on the outskirts of a town then no, maybe not.
FYI, the guy in OP's pic is talking specifically about trainhopping.
What are some good enclosed tarp shelters?

>>1986406You could just burn a shit load of kindling and slightly larger chunks. Always works well for me. There's always a time element though, especially if your fore is on cold ground.
I'll be here for 2 months with nothing but a bike and some sneakers. Is there any way to salvage this situation?
Take a day trip to New Hampshire.

>>1985662>cuts toothbrush in half>calls others retardedNice highly efficient top-shelf toothbrush you've got there.
>>1985662Yeah, let's render our toothbrushes completely fucking unusable by cutting them in half. Just pack a full sized one, dude. They have close to no weight or bulk to them anyway.
>>1985675>>1985971I was advising that for people that are autistic about saving weight and place, which the other anon apparently is since he prefers using a fucking twig instead of a toothbrush.
>>1986366I'm not him, but I like using the twig method because I can do it as I walk around and just throw it over my shoulder when I'm done.
>>1984666come on now dawg
