>*crunch crunch crunch*How the FUCK are you ever supposed to stalk deer in a southeastern forest in fall with the sheer amount of noise? It doesn't matter how you walk or tiptoe, there's no way to avoid spooking every deer in a 200 yard radius with every step. I hate boring sitting-in-a-cuckstand all day "hunting". But there's no way to actually stalk animals with these leaves.Am I deluding myself? Should I just hunt out west where this problem doesn't exist?
I just cast silence
>>1888118I hunt traditional recurve and have found that wearing very thick socks with leather moccasins treated with a fuck ton of water proofing wax (parafin, beeswax, "greenland wax", etc) works very well. Your feet wont get absolutely soaked unless you purposely walk through water and the leaves kind of "stick" to your soles. You'll find that different leaves act different underfoot. Oaks suck due to them curling up, while maples tend to lay flat and are primo. Of course like others have said you will be standing/squatting a lot too. Depending on animal activity I usually: walk slowly about 30 min to a spot, slav squat behind tree for an hour by a game trail or feeding opening, and then move on.

Hunt after rain, and remain stationary.
Two girls (19, so young) I work with have about a 40 minute drive, each, to get to work every day.WNY area, so winters get heavy.Neither have ever had emergency car kits. Type of family that never worried about it.Thought I'd give them a hand putting one together, but I'm a non-driver (what I can't walk to, I use public transport. Poor fag), so I'm not sure exactly what the kit should have.Plan is to come up with something for 1 or 2 people, not a family kit. They usually drive alone.My idea so far:1-3 of those mylar emergency space blankets.1 wool blanket.2 pairs sweat pants, 2 sweaters or sweatshirts2 pairs extra gloves, 2 extra winter hats2 scarves.6 road flares (or, more likely, the high intensity green 12 hour glow sticks)a box of those hand warmer things (best way to keep feet warm. Stick one in each shoe.)Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>1890187*six or seven pint-sized bottles per person
>>1887727>5 blankets and 2 complete outfits is completely asinine.Hmmm, I wonder why you're so angry that someone wants to be as warm as possible.>You don't need wool either you fucking retard, it's just an emergency blanket, not a luxury itemOh, it's because you don't live in the real world.Army surplus wool blankets are literally $15 where I live.>Look, all your need is a way to either call a tow truck, or flag down another motoristAnd you also don't live in a rural area, like 2/3 Americans do.>Drop all the sperg shit and add a hi viz vest, jumper cables, a tire pressure gauge, stuff like that.By adding useful items, you are only slightly less of an asshole.>>1887866Comment too long.

>>1890181holy reddit spacing, batman.>>1890181>also if you leave a bottle of water in your car all winter then when you need water, as all lifeforms do, you'll have to hydrate yourself in a survival situation using resources you already have on hand>ftfyyou literally cannot use a frozen bottle of water in a snowstorm
these girl will be just fine withouth op helpyou are not needed a fish does not need a bicycle
>>1890197>There is no good reason to spend energy on 99.9% of them unless you're actively draining or in the process of draining every penny they have.Well I can see these girls are well on their way to that!

I've got something that came with a beltpouch which has this weird bracket just above its beltloop. I can't figure out when and how to use it. can /out/ help?
>>1891059These are called "Alice Clips"
>>1891063So I guess you're just here to meet the expectation that every forum of reasonably helpful enthusiasts contains at least one condescending cunt.
>>1891065It just baffles me that someone would buy something then have to go to an Ethiopian Sand Cuisine forum and start a dedicated thread in an effort to identify it.
>>1891067Because I totally bought this for the bracket and the bracket alone, not for the entire rest this piece of kit consists of. Yes. The item is practically this bracket only, and there is absolutely nothing else of interest why I could possibly have decided to spend money. Yes.You must be the kind of idiot who picks up a wad of cash held together with a rubber band only to keep the band and throw the money away.

I found this stone disc today when I went fishing to a remote creek, does anyone have an idea what could it be?As you can see it has circular ridges on one side, the other one is blank. Diameter is 19.3 cm, thickness is 1.5 cm..It's too small to be a millstone and too smooth to be a grinding stone (plus there's no hole in the middle). It also doesn't strike me as a coaster or a base of some pot - why would you put so much work in such a simple item, making it out of stone. I live in the Alps, there's a small village 2 km away from this creek, there are historical settlements, but way down the valley.I'm perplexed by what this perfectly circular disc made out of stone was doing in the creek, perhaps someone can help me?pic related it's the disc
>>1875445F
>>1889457That would give OP an 'official' answer.I believe you are correct, I doubt someone carved a clay pigeon out of stone and then lost it in a stream.

What things can I sow this time of year?
>>1890095Winter in Alabama isn't hot for plants. Are you thinking that's its 80 degrees year round?
>>1890095>>1890096Trees are supposed to be planted in Fall in the deep south. Summer can dry them out from the heat, so you are supposed to let the roots acclimate during the mild winters. It is recommend that you cover the saplings with frost clothes during the few nights when tempts drop below freezing. T. louisiana gardener
>>1890144Acclimation in that sense is a meme. Acclimation only applies to predictive dormancy cycles or exposure shock. If your tree is sourced locally, plant it whenever you want.

I alway hear this myth that when animals are stressed they taste worste. Where is this bullshit comming from?Every time i kill animals, i literally taste no difference, if i killed it in 20 seconds, or it bleeds out in 2 hours. Where is this bullshit comming from?
>>1886020you make no sense at all
>>1890145Dying of infection is different to being so autistic you notice that meat has a slightly higher level of acid
>>1890145Hah that's a load of crap and more than likely a rare occurrence.
>>1887341Living in a farm with plenty to eat no predators, parasites with a farmer looking after you isn't very stressful. Part of the reason wild meat has "gamey" flavour is they are exposed to more challenges.
>>1885757Chinese haven't a clue how to farm animals historically, you go into rural china and you will still find places where the pig pen is also the villages toilet. They grow rice with their abundant manpower, and eat any meat they could get their hands on, because there has been many times meat was in very short supply

Has anyone tried magnet fishing? I saw a bunch of guys yesterday magnet fishing off a dock where I occasionally fish and had a chat with them. They said they always find some cool shit,Anyone tried it? Is it fun? Found anything cool?
>>1888730>is this a popular thing to do?depends where you are, but given the popularity of YT videos, I'd say yes
>>1885097>>1885101Just try not to get caught holding a murder weapon
>>1888749No you wouldn't. It would be a giant ball of rust. That pin isn't going anywhere.
i would do this just to find fishing lures
Did alittle magnet fishing with a friend. Found a few lures and some various metal bits, but his magnet was utter crap. Even if you just want to try this hobby, imo, don't start with a junk magnet or you'll spoil the experience for yourself.

How did our ancestors deal with (((mosquitos)))? Imagine being a hunter in the forest spending a few summer nights in the forest trying to hunt some big game. Literally impossible to sleep without a modern tent to block (((mosquitos))), they are all buzzing ""oy veyyyzzzzzzz" in your ears all night and try to leech your life force away. Did (((they))) even exist back then or is it a recent phenomenon created by (((them))) as yet another technique to keep us away from the forest and force us into the system of (((civilization)))?
>>1890813>you no longer get reactions to mosquito bites*doubt*
Humans have also made mosquitoes a lot worse by messing with the natural water flow and creating containers/ditches
Remember the ray mears episode where he met a woman weaving a traditional anti mosquito basket thing out of palm leaves, designed to cover a baby?
>>1890827no
