For just ONE night?
Check forecast, if no rain:
- tarp shelter is ok.
If there's rain or you have diseased insects/rats/mice,
- tent just as a deterrent (with a footprint/tarp)
- Sleeping pad (foam or inflatable, u choose) to put distance between the cold ground and you
- hammock if you're ok dangling as u sleep
- Some food (and snacks) and cookware for it. Eggs for breakfast are always good.
- A lighter for fire lighting reliability and a small knife to carve a fire drill for fun or xp (or a larp) (Schrodinger's /out/er : if it works it's experience, if it doesn't it was just for fun)
- Booze if you drink,
- Wood cutting tool (saw, axe, depends what's available near you: dead standing trees or random trees/branches on the forest floor)
- LED light and spare batteries
- season temp appropriate sleeping bag
A big enough backpack to carry it all in.

No problem bro. Just out of curiosity, what kind of rifle do you have?

>>2074975
I've got a typhoon XII, and a hatsan sniper vortex .25 air rifle. İf I'm planning on a longer hike I just take the typhoon because together I have to stop every hour or so due to the insane weight with the rest of my shit. My side carry is a Walther ppk copy (vzor 70) that I usually don't take with me because it has a lot of sentimental value (was my dad's side during his 30 year service and has seen a lot of combat, but a couple years back it slamfired on me and I've been slightly hesitant about it both due to further damage and safety reasons).

And in case you're wondering I'm really happy with both roach rifles, the typhoon only had one case of failure to feed and failure to eject. The failure to feed happened with the cheapest shell I could find and only in the 10 round mag which had a 2 round limiter thingy on it for months before that test (because legally were only allowed one chambered round + 2 in the mag in my country), so I thought that was reasonable. The failure to eject might've been a result of me fixing the failure to feed that occured moments before. Other than that, really good for the price.

The air rifle is simply flawless btw. I can shoot fairly accurately up to 5-10cm CEP to 100 meters distance. I got a small boar that was ruining my family and neighbors fields back in our village in one shot at around 50-70m hitting just at the back of the ear. Painless and all, just dropped dead and convulsed.

hunters, trappers, and leather workers of /out/ i have a question (obviously):
i stretched my first beaver skin this year, but the end product came out wonky.
is it possible for me to soak the skin and try again or is it beyond help?

what i don't get are the 'all or nothing' zealots out there. You don't need to go all swiss family robinson, unless you want to; or see it as an aspirational to work towards.

start small
get a few raised beds and learn to garden; develop your soil and expand each season
start with a few chickens (if you can?) and again, practice and expand as you go.
goats? sure.
cows? why not.

I think what gets people in trouble is seeing it as this monolithic endeavor where they MUST go from suburban comfy to 17th century peasant immediately. the goal should be to a) have a lifestyle you're actually at peace with and b) reduce your reliance on a system/society that is increasingly hostile to you and yours.

that said it's not that hard; and thanks to youtube and similar it's never been easier in all of human history to learn new things.;

We must have more knife threads in place of larp threads.

>>2075219
I live in Europe bro, my country wasn’t touched by BLM. I have a genuine interest in it and I figure the best way to learn is by taking small steps. I’m building some raised beds and learning how to grow food on a small scale, then I’ll build a chicken coop and keep some chickens and then get a little pair of goats. Just acquainting myself with these things and learning bit by bit, I am a young man and I’m not running into the woods with a pack on my back. I have my whole professional career ahead of me first. My dream would be to become skilled enough to become self sufficient when I’ve made enough money to do so.

>>2075225
I’m learning what I can step by step. My father is a great carpenter and he has taught me a fair bit about wood working and building.

>>2075229
Ok that ain’t me. I have a longevitive interest in this. I’m willing to put in some work. You can believe that or not, idc.

>>2075232
Thanks for your post, I will definitely do some research. Everything you’ve said makes great sense.

No one will help you on /out/ honestly your best bet is just starting from scratch and/or watch YouTube videos. The most important part is actually starting instead of just talking about how you want to.

>>2073124

these will make it very hard to become self sufficient, unless you're prepared to dedicate the majority of your acreage to animal feed.

>People work 60 hour weeks for 900 euros
Do you at least get some good gibs out of the state? A lot of burgers work like that here also but even making that much disqualifies you from any state assistance.
>are you allowed to not have a house if you cannot even pay for one and live in your car?
Sort of, but you will get hassled by cops for parking overnight in most places, or robbed by niggers, and if you do it in the woods you can get nailed for squatting on government land.
> rents are like 600 for a small apartment
Thats pretty cheap compared to usa prices. Its at least double that in most cities, triple or quadruple in a really huge city.

>>2075287
Eh you can buy a house in the usa for $600 a month mortgage but millennials expect everything for free because they claim boomers were given mcmansions at birth

>>2075292
Yea you can do that if you have good credit in a rural area, after down-payment and closing costs around $8000. My mortgage payment is $700 for a 1950's 3 bedroom brick house on 3/4 acre in eastern oregon. The problem is most small towns don't have good entry level jobs. You can't just move to rural Iowa and buy a house working at some brick and mortar store like you could 40 years ago.

probably not the goat /out/ activity but its definitely top tier, especially if you live near some decent trails

nothing quite like competing against your past self by pushing your body to run further each outing

protip: if shit starts to hurt (e.g in your knees) take some time off running to rest and re-evaluate your form/shoes, maybe see a doctor

>>2069334

>>2072759
I swear every time i go into the local athletics store i see a different slightly overweight couple in their mid 40ies, fully decked out in Vaude clothes. Next to them a 8000€ E-MTB with full suspension and a store clerk in the process of convincing them that it's totally worth buying "just in case they want to ride on some harder terrain in the future".
They gotta make money somehow i guess.

>>2069078
No, mountain biking is. It’s expensive, fast, grueling, requires navigational skills and common sense. Plus I get to wear my faggy Lycra and my kids love it.

>>2073277
Id recommend preparing goodberry even if you have a cleric because its an otherwise free source of healing/food for your party and its more efficient than anything else at that level. Absorb elements is also super useful since it can be used as a reaction and gives a 1d6 to your next attack to boot. Once you get up to having a 3rd level spell slot conjure animals is nice to spread the damage around and lasts for an hour so you can cast it before you get into trouble. If you RP well and your DM is cool you can do a lot with a druid.

>>2073277
It’s quite literally impossible to be a Druid, they left no records of their rituals, and their initiatory rites are gone. All we have are a few Roman accounts of only some of their practices.

Don't overdo the historical reconstruction of old druidic/celtic/norse/wiccan/pagan/whateverthefuck ways. No matter how seriously you try to take it you'll come off as a larper.

Just live in the spirit, not the letter of druidic practice. Live minimalistically, learn to forage and craft as much as you can from nature, but don't try to resurrect long dead rituals and symbolism. You'll find your own. Meditate in the forest, take some DMT and allow yourself to be inspired.

>>2075572
fuck off with that bullshit advice. "find work doing this, find work doing that". It's not fucking easy, the chances of even being able to land an interview for any kind of work that is not a fucking call centre or temporary manual labour, especially involving the outdoors, are pretty much zero for someone with no qualifications.

I'm not saying OP should kill himself but I hate that kind of bullshit.

>>2075522
>suicide hotline
Not something I'd ever do, for various reasons. Besides, I don't think I'm suicidal anymore, at least for now. That last episode was about two weeks ago. Since then I've basically made up my mind to continue living.
>depression
I've never really felt like I'm depressed, personally. Like I'm not sad about anything at all. I'm sure I'd get diagnosed as depressed if I went to a psychiatrist though, probably a bunch of other shit too. I think "frustrated" would be a better term to describe my mental state. Perhaps secondary to frustration would be anger.
>discord
Thanks man, that's really nice of you to offer, but I wouldn't really know where to start. It's been so long since I've had anything resembling a friend and I'm terrible at conversation. I'm sure it would be just generally very awkward for both of us and you'd probably end up regretting ever talking to me. I wouldn't want to put you through that. Besides, I'm fine now.
>>2075572
Logging, mining, crab fishing, something like that might be good for me. Something dangerous and masculine and outdoors, away from all the cityfags.
>>2075582
I don't talk to people in real life and have no social life to speak of. Well, my sister calls me most days now, so there's that. I guess she's worried I'll try to kill myself or something. I love her but she's frankly pretty annoying and I wish she would call less. I'm generally pretty happy to live in solitude, at least with the Internet. But yeah, getting a job could really improve my mental health, I think.

>>2075607
Damn, is it really that hard? I kind of just assumed I'd be able to land one of those kinds of jobs fairly easily with no experience. I guess that's a stupid assumption now that I think about it.

>>2075611
>I'm generally pretty happy to live in solitude, at least with the Internet.

And yet you are talking about suicide.. You need to break free of those ruts and tracks left by your current behaviours and start making fresh ones. Having no social contact literally is a devolution and causes massive mental health problems for 99.99% of the human population.


>>2075607
Actually trying is the first step you dipshit. Fucking contact them or apply with them and find out what they want if they want anything at all. Go volunteering, Contact a training aid company and get Boating/Chainsaw/Machinary operator tickets. The requirements to be given two big bags and a ton of trees to go plant in the middle of bumfuck nowhere is much lower than you think or than it is made out.

>>2075616
But really for the love of god ignore these cunts telling you to not even try, The only stupid thing you've did was listen to him; Look how quickly you gave any kind of hope away to that fucking vampire. Now go start researching some work away/volunteering programs, and if you don't meet the requirements then start researching how you can develop yourself into someone that does.

If you're packing any kind of lantern instead of just a headlamp the weight question is pretty much out the window, you might as well bring the one that will make you comfiest.

>>2070694
my dietz no.8 will heat my smoky hut in the winter by itself and keep it at least in the 50F range when it's 10F outside, plus it runs for 30 hours on lowest and around 25 hours on highest so i have heat and light for up to 4 nights before needing to refill it

it doesn't put off much light, but it's enough to see maybe 15-20ft in front of you at night and more than enough to light up the tent

If I run one of these in my tent will I die?

>>2075612
depends how good the ventilation at sleeping level is in your tent and the fuel you burn in your lantern

in my polish lavvu and smoky hut there's a draft that carries the monoxide away without needing to chimney it, in a regular dome tent i doubt it's safe unless you leave the front door open or something

obviously someone that has never been. The Camino is at it's best when you're staying in donativos, avoiding commercialism and interacting with other people that want actual human connection.

The only concern I would have is that post covid it's going to be busier than usual.

If you are in STEM then yes, there are positions available at many of the US manned bases there. People get jobs through the US Antarctic Program, are you can be a contractor. I think Raytheon is the largest. They main bases are McMurdo, which is on the water. And Scott-Amundsen which is directly at the Pole, you can even overwinter there when they keep a skeleton crew to keep the base operational.
I applied for a job as a scientific diver a few years back. Never got it, I wanted to see what it would be like diving in water with nearly 250 feet of visibility.
Anyway, the disciplines they take are pretty wide ranging. However you might have more of a chance getting a job there as more of a worker, ie: welder, electrician, cook, plumber, and so on.
