i guess you can't pull a boat out of your ass but you can definitely catch a feed..

You can probably get by with like 50 bucks total if you are willing to go second hand. There is a surprising amount of decent to good fishing gear on flea markets where people sell grandpas fishing stuff after his death and have no idea how much it's worth, nor do they care.
If you are in a third world country, this may be a bit different, as I would assume the poorer the people on average, the more likely they are to do research before selling used equipment.
What you need is: A rod, a reel (start with a spinning reel probably), some line (mono is probably fine as a beginner), hooks, bait, some leaders, swivels, swimmers and some weights. It depends on what and where you plan on fishing too. You can get by with some very cheap, borderline free / DIY spinners and bait, or expensive stuff.
Depending on local laws, you will need a licence/permit, a fishhook remover (I like to use a hemostat), knife and a tool to "stun" the fish, as well as a suitable net. Some jurastictions require you to carry a tool to keep the fish's mouth open while removing the hook as well.
Fishing isn't expensive, but it can quickly get expensive, if you want to.
I'd say for new shit, a begginers kit may cost you somewhere between 75-200 bucks (includes everything). You can maybe stay lower if you really try, but that'll be hard without sacrificing performance too much.

You can, in actual fact, do as our ancestors did and tie line to a long (>10 ft.) stick (preferably tough and flexible, and tapering toward the the end), attach a line (can be woven/furled of animal or even human hair) to the end of the pole, tie a hook to the line, add bait, and actually catch fish.

Sometimes I fish in brush so thick that I have no choice but to hold my line in one hand and toss the fly/bait with the other, because waving even the shortest pole will instantly get tangled or caught. This is called hand fishing or fishing by hand.

The thing is, even though we've invented fancy gearboxes attached to spools and carbon-fiber rods, hand/pole fishing with just a line and a hook not only still work, but in some situations, work very well.

The most accomplished fly fishermen of all time, the shokuryoshi (commercial tenkara fishermen in Japan), were very poor but caught hundreds of trout per day with a long stick, horsehair, a branch with a net woven onto it to net the fish, and a woven basket (or a sharp Y-shaped stick) to collect their catches.

Being poor will not stop you from fishing. In fact, it's a traditionally poor activity.

Here's your money

Decided to climb a mountain covered in snow and ice while wearing summer running shoes with tread worn smooth and without any crampons, hiking poles, or an ice ax. In retrospect I don't know why I decided it was a good idea. But it went surprisingly smoothly right up until I slipped and caught my full weight on one hand, causing my wrist to make a disconcerting POP noise. So I had to carefully slide down the rest of the way with one hand. It hurt like heck and bruised my whole forearm but somehow I avoided any long term damage. Beginners luck I guess?

At least he's listened. Every time I've had a dude get close to heatstroke, getting dizzy and slurring his words, being generally unreasonable, they always insist that they're fine and don't want to let you help them. I'm like faggot I'm not carrying you back down the mountain, so you best listen or I'll leave you here and call the cops to find you when I get home.

of course, I probably would carry them down the mountain, but they don't need to know that.

I brought non-hiking friends on a long hike. I've never seen so many minor things go so incredibly wrong, but I should've known we were set for fail when one of the fags had packed a massive bluetoothspeaker, and not even a pocketknife.

Personally, I love using matches. Somehting about striking a match feels just right, or getting a fire going with just one.
Other than that i like to use vaseline coated cotton balls and the ferro rod that came with my knife

Any recommendations for buying ferrocerium rods in Europe? I get that they all are more or less the same.
Also, I need some way to insulate it, since I live near the sea.

NZ used to fuck about 20 sheep per person.. Only recently have we fallen to the Welsh standard of 6 or 7

>Live in south

Would not recommend. The climate isn't favorable and they'll get stickers and beggar's lice all throughout their wool. Goats are more common and hardy to the climate and are more available and sought after market-wise than sheep. Hispanics are also very fond of goat.

You can dip sheep for lice flies etc. Old school method was literally a trench full of tobacco water that you made them run through. Then of course now there are more specific chemicals and methods like running them through an enclosure with water jets. And of course oral treatments for parasites in the gut. And shearing.. I don't know a whole lot about the climate in the american south but there are different breeds for different climates. Sheep take a bit of looking after

>Compared to beans, potatoes, cabbage
Potatoes are 80% water and last for weeks before rotting, months if stored in ideal (cool and dry) conditions. Wheat grain is somewhere around 18% water, dried to around 12%, and can be stored in a silo or cellar for 3-5+ years.

Water is heavy, so farming food that is like 80%+ water is inefficient. Also, and partly because of this, the caloric content of wheat and rice is huge compared to the foodstuffs you named.

Now you understand completely why wheat and rice were farmed instead of tubers, legumes, and leafy vegetables.

>>2467446
>>2467444
>Goes on. Instantly
This is the most ignorant thing I have ever read that just proves you have never grown a plant in your life. I still have potatoes in my pantry from last fucking summer, they preserve for ages naturally. Like at least 2 seasons even in bad conditions, easily through the winter.
Beans dry naturally on the plant as it turns to fall. If you've ever seen dried beans in a store, they didn't use a machine to do that. The plant does that in nature to preserve it's seeds for the next year.
Poisonous potatoes are easily distinguishable to the point where fucking monkeys and mice could easily learn Wich potatoes not to eat. "Because parts of the plant you don't eat are poisonous" is not a reason for people not to eat a plant.

You fucking redditors feel the need to make up a psudointilectual explination for fucking everything to sound smart instead of just saying nothing because you don't know.

Op, the answer to your question is that you are simply wrong in your assumption. root vegetables have been staple foods that took the place of grains in many cultures, mostly south American and African. The reason Western and Eastern cultures didn't eat starchy roots was because there were none that were native to those countries. Onions beans are the only bean that produces enough quantity of food to have become a major staple food

>>2467354
St Anythonys Fire used to be endemic (ergot poisoning) until civilization switched from rye to wheat. Could be a factor…

>>2467354
Depending on variety and farming practices used wheat and rice actually use almost the same average amount of irrigation water per lb of final product, some varieties of and techniques used for wheat can use much less than rice and vice versa. Wheat is actually hardier than rice however, as it can grow in higher latitudes easier. Barley is even hardier and is often grown in Siberia and interior Alaska in place of wheat because it yields nearly as much as wheat but can survive random cold bouts better. And in cold maritime climates, oats tend to do even better, which is why it's common in places like Scandinavia, the British Isles, and Iceland.

>>2467357
Beans and potatoes were new world crops. Which means until the 1500s most cultures outside of the americas didnt have access to them. Cabbage was widely cultivated and a main ingredient for various fermented dishes and stirfries. Beets, radishes, and carrots were old world root crops that were heavily cultivated.

Wheats and grains are pretty easy to grow actually, especially in their more ancient forms. They are after all, essentially grasses.

>What's the lump of metal above the pull tab?
Oh its just an interesting rock I found while digging for something else. Up close its tan colored with a white swirl. I figured I may as well take it home too. The black thing in the corner isn't metal either but was by a can I dug up. It was sticking out of the ground so I took it so no one would step on it. It's very sharp. I've found some aluminum nuggets before at another place. Wish it were silver.

The half is an 1858. Not particularly valuable but I like it because I found it under a big fat rock that was part of a house foundation. Probably hidden there on purpose. I don't find a lot of buried treasure, so it's fun when it happens. The saloon tokens I'm hunting weren't valuable back then so they just ended up in the trash or tossed out the back door or whatever. Basically Victorian litter instead of valuables.

>>2466946
I'm pretty sure people used to put coins inside of houses that had whatever year the house was made on them as the house was being built. Like under the floorboards and what not.
That fourth of July thing is pretty awesome too.

When I did land surveying, we would come across old homestead foundations deep in the mountains. I always had a method of pacing off each corner of the foundation a certain distance while detecting. Back then people didn't use banks, they buried their valuables. Never had much luck, found the occasional trinket or whatever. Hit paydirt one time. Me and the my rod man found a tin full of gold coins and silver coins. Ended up splitting it even, made away 20 grand each. Was awesome getting paid to metal detect on the clock.

In the Olympics right now, it’s cold but not too bad. Pic rel slept at 5300 ft the other night and was fine with my 20 degree quilt. But my buddy is wanting to do the Ozark Highland Trail in January. Im a pussy so I’ve never done long distance hiking in winter only 2-3 nights and day hikes. I have put a 20 degree bag inside of a Sol Escape Mylar bivy and been comfortable at 15 degrees. I only use a Z lite foam pad but I’ve seen and heard a lot of good things about the Uber Lite air mattress. With a 20 degree bag inside a Mylar bivy on top of an air mattress on top of a foam pad inside a single wall tent will I be cozy in the Ozarks in January? Thanks for reading my blog

Okay im not the anon your replying to but instead of just telling him hes wrong how about you fucking explain why?
I live in northern ontario and have never bothered with quilts because of the reasons that anon has said. Last night it got to 4 degrees celsius.
In summer I literally just grab a fucking comfy bedsheet. Spring or fall? Absolutely not, if the sheet or quilt were to slip off of me i would wake up freezing and probably sick as hell.
Winter? A sheet or quilt is completely out of the question. You will freeze in canadian winter if you dont have a good sleeping bag.
I go backpacking and canoeing.
Are we talking car camping or something? Do you live in a place that never goes below freezing? Because it sounds like your talking shit anon

Why not just let nature run its course, though? If it's winter, it's supposed to be less sunny. You wouldn't trust eating the fresh tomatoes from the supermarket when they're out of season, why force your home plants in a similar manner?
