So what your experiences with the Big Agnes Fly Creek HV UL 2? I hear both good and bad things. The wind issue is the most pressing issue. I heard it can demolish this tent and others say it's strong enough. So dunno if I should get this tent. Thoughts?
>>2650413Only women use tents
I have the tigerwall ul1 and it's a real nice piece of kit, but I kind of wish I just got some cheap Chinese hiking pole tent because I get anxious setting it up cuz it's so expensive. Big Agnes makes good shit
>>2650413I’ve owned it for three years. It’s a fine tent. Way to cramped for two people unless you’re /out with you significant other. Also it’s only semi-freestanding so if you’re camping on a very hard surface (above tree line) you’ll have to use rocks to guy out the bottom of the tent. Tl:dr I’d get the (discontinued) 3 person (if you can still find it) for more room and it’s fully freestanding
Järvenpää poster here again. Here’s the Marttiini I lost along with the Russell Green River Sheep Skinner. I reshaped the handle on the RGR to be actually comfortable. Both knives were under $50
>>2650610Nice pic. Just planning to use it for myself.
Anyone have the 4th edition Strategic Relocation book by Skousen as pdf that they can share? I have 3rd edition. Looking to find the best state to move too and buy land in with family and likeminded frens

>>2651430where in the fuck are people paying three hundred fuckin bucks a month for parking lol
>>2651436coastal cities. https://www.spotangels.com/blog/the-ultimate-nyc-monthly-parking-guide/In smaller but cramped cities like Boston and San Francisco you'll still find monthly rates between $100-$400.Most of those cities where parking is expensive, driving can be slow and annoying through traffic and stoplights, while finding a parking spot at your crowded destination can take extra time, hassle and expense. If it's not wet/raining and you don't mind the exertion and possible sweat, cycling is often the most reliable way to travel between two arbitrary points. It can faster than driving when there's traffic.I lived in a city like this for 10 years. I did have a car and paid ($225/mo) for a parking spot (7 years ago). That's not counting all the incidental rates incurred for garage parking at destinations (anywhere $3-$35 per visit depending on where I was going). But I knew people who didn't have cars at all. They had bicycles and used uber, that was it, and they did it to save money.Not a very /out/ topic but in general bicycles are a very cost-efficient means of transportation for short range trips.
>>2651463cheese and crackers, I know a lot of people joke about how cities are hellholes but ffs no wonder people get sucked into the rat race bs
>>2641884>Go past someone driving in a car>Say hi>Get nothing but silenceFUCKING CAR FAGS
I didn't realise how insanely monotonous the UK climate was until I started looking at these for other countries, is this something you guys are interested in? Any other countries with insane climate diversity or unusual patterns? I don't come to this board often. God Bless

Any floridanons know if they would be around this time of year? According to google they should be visible year round, even though I know manatee season there doesn't peak until the winter drives them inland. Would I be able to see some at this time of year?
I dont think they will be. I was paddle boarding around Crystal River last year around this time and didnt see any. Still a neat place to check out
>>2647295they go further up into the rivers and springs when it gets cold because the water temperature remains consistent in thereit's too early, wait until water temps drop

I can't imagine it's bad, the Amish chose to settle there and their lifestyle is /out/ for the most part.

>>2650032these >>2649146 ? they aren't even hills, it's an eroded plateau dissected by ravines
>>2651010it's really genuinely cuteI have some non-plateau pa photos, but they aren't as special the PA Plateau is just lovely, not as nice as VA or WV or KY plateau, but nice if you are based nearish to visit. Dissected plateau is my literal favorite geographical zone and I hope to explore as much of it as I can before I die.

>spend 4k on high end hiking gear 2 years ago>never went hikingI have everything to hike yet I'm so scared
>>2648597Anon, where do you live? Someone could probably point you to a cool spot where it’s relatively safe.
>>2648603kek

I have an Ilitis Oxhead German splitting axe with a 6lbs head and 31' ash handle and a 26" Estwing chopping axe. I've had them both for 9 years and through their occasional use they're still going very strong. How did I do?
>>2651300Thank you.
>>2651288>I've had them both for 9 years>How did I do?you tell me dumbass
>>2651288estwing makes a double billed axe, why not just carry one axe wirh two heads for different purpose?
>>2651355he bought them nine years ago. if it works it works, nobody sensible is going to just keep buying moar shit just because it's neato
>>2651358speak foryour self, im planning to carry two of thoset. dwarf maxxingalso as a general idea if were to start from nothing since inevitably axe bros and saw girls will shid this up
Hiking with a wheelie bin, anyone ever done it?I'm thinking it has several advantages â—Źmore space than a backpack for storageâ—Źcan be tied to a Rope around your waste and dragged behind youâ—Źworks as a tent as you can sleep insideâ—Źhigh levels of sturdiness. Built for years of handling by bin menâ—Źcan be left behind safely nobody will steal itâ—Źreminder of civilisation â—Źnoise from wheels frightens dangerous animals I see several advantages and no real problems, I'll just be hiking small mountains
>>2650726This is just too much of a typical white person invention for me to accept, and I'm 100% white via DNA test. It should never have been made.
>>2650964What if it was made of scrap wood and was roped to a malaysian peasant?
>>2650964>ugh typical wytpipo>I'm 100% whiteShut up, retard. If that was a wooden box smeared with animal shit being carted around by a dirty third worlder you'd be screaming based, return to monke, etc. Time to grow up and accept that whites are the only people willing to innovate and that takes trial and error to find the correct solution.

Anyone use a kansbol for camping/backpacking? Why havent they made a carbon steel version ? Carbon steel kansbol would be a nice option
>>2648483Nta, but the grip is shit on the Kansbol/Garberg in my opinion. Very slippery and plasticky in feel. The Companion grip is far better. It's also 4-5 times more expensive than the Companion, but you are not getting 4-5 times the knife. In fact, I actually find the mini scandi towards the tip makes it less convenient than the uniform full scandi, especially for sharpening. I wouldn't necessarily call it a shitty knife, but it's totally mediocre.>>2648873Fixed blade hunting knives suck dick anyway. I've long switched to exclusively using folders for eviscerating deer because they are far less cumbersome, weigh basically nothing and don't poke me in the abs when I'm sitting in a tree stand.
>>2649518Oh and another advantage I've found in using folders is that they are usually ground very nice and thin behind the edge. Most factory fixed blades (Lionsteel is a huge culprit) come with soft steel and are ridiculously thick behind the edge, meaning you get neither wear resistance nor sliciness, even in something they like to advertise as "super steel". They do this so they have fewer returns from chipping and breakages. Sad but true.
>>2649518The thing is that most fixed blade are easier to keep clean if you're cleaning fish or animals all that shit will get down in the folder which is not something you clean everyday. With a fixed blade you can just wipe it off etc. Anyways it's not a huge deal I guess. But yeah fixed blade knives suck to carry around compared to a folder.
>>2649523True, cleaning out hairs and other dried up blood/meat gunk from the gap between the handle scales and action is annoying as fuck. No such thing as a free lunch I guess.
>>2648150bought one, no flat grind on spine, gave it away, bought bushcraft.
post your /out/ water bottle
>>2650614>putting alcohol and hot water in 8 year old plastic
>>2650622probably safer than new plastic, already drank all the bad chems
>>2650622>>2650623it did crack a little from the mouth last winter when i forgot some water inside the lid and tightened it after but i glued it and so far no leaksyes it is a trendy bottle but i like it
>>2648553>Can boil water in it>Could cook a soup in it if you wanted>Doesnt poison you with estrogensAren't those shits usually lined with some sort of plastic? Most metal bottles I've seen are.
>>2648419I've heard that ever since they started being made in china the construction is shit. that the top is welded on and has a tendency to break off when trying to boil water in them. anyone have anything like this happen to them? i'd really like to get one but i don't want some chink shit that's just gonna shit the bed when i need in most.
