Thoroughly clean all of your gear once you get home. Never leave it dirty. It is a slow and relaxing process almost meditative. Do not leave your gear dirty as a performance to other men. Maintain your kit.

This is a thread for enjoying a pipe while doing outdoor activities. If you ask why this belongs on /out/, you've never spent
an evening by the campfire with a pipe silently enjoying the nature around you, and you're missing out.

>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.

Not the time or place. Start your own thread.

All tobacco users welcome.

Can you advise me some gear to go hiking in Svalbard (north pole)?

>inb4 you're an idiot and you're gonna die

I'm gathering ideas for biomes and natural environments. I'd like to know if anyone knows of any natural environment or biome that they find pretty. It could be a description, a picture of nature that you like, anything helps.

>Recycled polyester

I don't want to wear clothing made from jeet garbage.
Sad i was really interested in patagonia

Is off-grid living a wealthy person's hobby? I can't live in an off-grid cabin full time because the code doesn't allow that, and I also would need a primary residential address. The only way to make it work off-grid is if you already have a real home.

You know those threads we have every week about dropping everything and living alone in the woods? Almost in a ascetic manner without internet and no job.
Why? What causes it? To me it seems to be wanting an escape of urban life, the responsibilities and never-ending noise, the internet that has been utterly destroyed, to escape corporatism or something along those lines. To utterly reject consumerism and decadence.
Now in that sense the desire for that has been noted to have existed since roman times from what i have read. To simpler times, to rural life before urbanization. A romantization of perhaps a gilded past. Don't get me wrong, rural life is superior to urban life but it too has its disadvantages. Especially now when the majority lives in the city leaving only old people out in the countryside rather than the bustling village 100 years ago. The warmth of the village is gone in most places or dying out as is.
If you can't find contentness in the now then you won't find contentness in a log cabin in the middle of Alaska.

Could you survive in the Australian outback with only your knife, a cast iron frypan, a soup pot, your hard-driving 4x4, 150liters of fuel, 70 liters of water, a shovel, a winch, a bedroll, and a saw??

I am looking at a 10 day trip. Post your staples, your ideas and your critique.

I think my breakfast is solid. I call it an oat bomb.
>100g rolled oats, 20g whole milk powder, 20g desiccated coconut, 20g brown sugar, 10g chia seeds
That's almost 750cal for breakfast. Prepared before the trip and ready to go as individually stored 170g dry mix in a zip bag.

Lunch looks like this
>2x 6inch flatbread, 100g dry aged salami, 60g hard cheddar cheese, 20g crushed pumpkin seed, 10g chia seeds
That's a 1000cal lunch, 6 inch bread because it fits in the frypan better meaning I can make a quesadilla by sealing both together with cheese, or I can make two smaller wraps. The crushed pumpkin and chia seeds end up in the melted cheese. Proper dry aged salami so that it lasts the trip and the cheese should be dry aged too, 'sharp' or 'vintage', cut in half and vacuum sealed. I am going with pumpkin seeds as they beat most nuts pound for pound and crushing them doesnt turn them into a butter type thing.

Dinner;
I am unsure what to do here. It wont be a heavy dinner it can be smaller than lunch. I am still pondering this one. Whatever I decide on will likely be a mix of the things I am already carrying. Possibly a mini pizza using the 6 inch flatbread.
