Last one reached limit, fell free to discuss everything related to the topic.

I went for maybe my first real hike over the weekend (6 miles, mountain) and all was well except my heels got chafed as FUCK. I had bought some "trail shoes" but maybe they suck? I didn't do any research on it I guess I should of.

Is it the shoes or should I do something else to prevent heel-chafe? Tie my shoes tighter/looser, different socks, what?

Leaving in a month to work in the oilfield in Wyoming, what can I expect in terms of going /out/ on my off weeks? Any recommendations?

hey /out/ists, i've got myself pic related as a emergency communication device for being innawoods and for long range (mountain) hiking (it's also a nice fm radio for listening to news and weather). i live in europe and i am mostly on austria and southern germany in the wild (i know, it's illegal to use those BUT i only want to use them in an emergency situation wich would be fine) and i'm looking for emergency frequencies to preset into the radio. i've found the "notfunk" and already saved them, but can you recommend any other freqs that are probably a little more busy?

Talk about fishin

A thread to trade/buy/sell shit related to /out/.

Stuff like tents, packs, hammocks, tarps, clothing etc.

When you trade stuff, share your e-mails and discuss things there. It's more private, doesn't clog the thread and adds some extra security if you get fucked over.

I would ADVISE using Paypal and NOT making "personal" paymets so that you are covered by Paypal Buyer/Seller protection.

I would also advice that any shipping is at the very least recorded. In the UK, Royal Mail 2nd Class Recorded really doesn't cost that much and if you get, say in a week or so, "I haven't got my stuff, I want a refund" then you can just check the package on the Royal Mail website and it will say if it was delivered or not.

So you want to buy/sell/trade something?

Here's a template as to what information we need:

What the item is:

Condition:

Where you are:

Where you are willing to ship/pay shipping costs to/from:

Any other relevant information, such as extras or missing parts:
Pictures are heavily encouraged.

If someone scams you or you don't get what you asked for, get ripped off etc then it's not /out/'s fault and it's not my fault. Still though, you could post someone's post-code or something so we know who to avoid. Up to you. I would say no posting their exact address however because legal reasons. If we have their postcode, we can then check with the person who made the claim privately if this is the guy who ripped them off.

Anyway, have fun. Hopefully you guys get some good deals.

WARNING: Don't post your address directly onto 4chan, that's a sure-fire way to get trolled.

FINAL TIP: Add a return address to your packages.

Anyone have experience with smart watches when /out/? Worth the money?

I currently live in Miami, FL and honestly I like it but I rather live somewhere else and more comfy. In a few years (4+ years from now) I feel like moving to another state. I want to have my own log cabin and nice big plot of land, and I want to be able to do things like hiking, fishing, hunting, shooting, camping, and etc. Basically just some /out/door shit.

What are some things I need to think about?

First thing that comes to my mind is employment, I really don't fucking know what I could do as a job. I think I would need some sort of career or something at least.

Property could be cheap. Probably a few thousand per acre of land, I guess it depends where I go. A log cabin would probably cost like $100K to be built. (It's better to build your own home because fuck paying mortgage!)

This is where my second question comes. What would be a good state/place to settle in? Has to have some good gun laws, and not so strict laws for Marijuana.

A good thing about living like this is that it should be pretty fucking cheap! If I use a well with a pump then I wouldn't have to pay for water, if I build (or hire someone) my own house I don't have to pay mortgage and insurance.

How does this idea sound? I would appreciate some advice! Thanks a lot in advance.

Not sure where to post this thread. Recently became interested in welding. Didn't realize how much those guys make, even though I'm interested only as a hobby.

I have a few questions:
1) How dangerous?
2) What cool shit can you weld?
3)Can I do this drunk?
4) Can I make swords like a black smith?

that about sums it up

Other than your backpack, what other bags do you carry your essentials on(keys, wallet, cellphone) while /out/?
