I'm looking for a good all around camp axe for fire wood maybe some tent pegs and also general cutting. Should I better look for a specific brand or anything will do just fine?

I want to go on a 4-5 day tent hike anywhere in the Alps.
I’d like a place that’s not overcrowded and doesn’t require walking under cable cars or crossing busy streets.
A day dedicated to a peak with some scrambling or easy climbing would be cool too.

I'm not necessarily looking for concrete routes, but more so advice on how to plan a trip like this. I can't find anything that fits my requirements.
I live in Switzerland, but ironically it seems like a terrible place for a multi day hike like this.

are rice picker hats unironically the strat for excessively hot and sunny excursions??
(I'm white btw)

Whats your favourite climate?

Anyone into prospecting/panning/using similar tools to get shiny things while you're /out/? I recently bought a kit and tried it out yesterday, seems like a fun hobby. With the currency at all time lows it might even be lucrative.
Might head up into the White Mountains this weekend and try my luck.

First for best telescopic rod is the one you exchanged for a 3pc.

Talk about fishin

Growing up I always thought my brother was weird.

Now that I'm significantly older I realize we are more or less the exact same people.

Both find government troublesome

Find other people insufferable and egoistic

Dream to live on a farm with the entire family and have some Resident Evil 7 type shit going on.

He is leaving in a day or so to the most desolate area of my country and will live on the food he catches for 3 weeks as he hikes.

I don't go on many hikes. But I long to be free. Gay as it sounds I'd like to just take all my belongings and live in the mountains. Been making a mental plan of everything I'd need to survive for decades and as each day passes I get closer to it being a reality.

What do you think /out/, would it be doable to just escape for real? No more thinking, no more talking but actually doing it. Bring a car and a cheap caravan fully loaded with supplies and just setup camp.

Only thing holding me back is the weather. I don't think I would survive 7 months of winter where temps go below -40c. Would need something proper.

Would you make any modifications like going through La Dotse?

>how to get started
Purchase a corn cob pipe (or a cheap briar pipe) and a pouch of Half and Half or Captain Black tobacco from a smoke shop or online. You will need a lighter or match, and something to tamp it with--a large nail works well if you don't have a pipe tool. Fill the pipe with tobacco, pack it down halfway, top it off, pack it down to 3/4, top it off again, pack gently and enjoy. Smoke slower than you think you need to, the tobacco tastes best when it is burning cool. Tamp and re-light as needed. If you still have trouble, try different methods on YouTube until you find one that works for you.

>smoking a pipe will give you cancer
Originally the Surgeon General found that pipe and cigar smokers, following a careful study of the statistics (at a time when most adults smoked, so they had a good sample size), had insignificant death rate increases. Nowadays, tobacco is being legislated against while hard drugs are being legalized. Put two and two together. Tobacco is just another good thing under attack by the government.

All tobacco users welcome. Stoners will be taken to Singapore and caned.
