What is it actually like living there? I know that it has downsides like food prices and the short days and nights, but I can't help but feel like some things are a little overstated like crime and earthquakes.
Let's say you found yourself on a remote piece of land, similar weather to that of Cyprus or Southern Greece during the mid Spring season. You can travel any which way, the further North the colder, more mountainous it becomes. The further South you approach the ocean and the warm, rocky coastlines.
If you were dropped in the dead center of this land with nothing but the clothes on your back and a makeshift flinthead spear, could you survive for 100 days with JUST that. No bags, no water containers, no ready-to-eats, no compass, lights, replacement socks, gloves, pocket knives, or ferro rods. Nothing but your spear and your clothes.
Challenge mode: No tools other than the spear, that means NO FIRE.
Could you do it? Could anyone adapted to 21st modernity do it?
Could I get some recommendations on some semi-budget binoculars? More and more when I'm out and about I find myself just stopping and watching the various animal life. Problem is, they catch wind relatively quick and before I know it they are just blurs our in the distance.
As title states posted a photo several months back talking about my plans to hike the national trails with my gear.
Some of you had helpful advice but most of you were just plain fucking wrong or made assumptions.
>you will find no places to wild camp Wrong there was plenty of locations and was able to camp everyday if I wanted (obviously took a hostel to recover some days)
>you’re bringing too much clothes Wrong two changes of clothes was perfect - maybe could have took 1 pair of pants but it was nice having clean clothes to lounge in
>your pack is too heavy Nope you just have weak legs 45lbs and walked 100 miles no problem
>why go to England bruh it’a devoid of nature Wrong beautiful scenery and honestly wonderful people. Only person I met who was a dick was an American.
>why u bringing alcohol bruh you’re ngmi Wrong did and was drunk at least half the days this month.
>just bring a tarp and ditch the tent bruh Brought a tarp and a tent. Both were awesome, the nights were the weather was clear or I had to stealth it I just slept on that with a mat.
>bruh don’t bring an inflatable just rely on your closed foam The inflatable was a tier and saved my back allowing me to sleep like a king
In conclusion, thanks to those on here that gave solid advice. To the fags that posted nonsense or other bullshit: Rope yourself
Anyone have experience with cooking a steak over open fire. No tools, pans etc, just raw open fire?
My assumption would be to debark sticks of wood and basically cook it like a shish kebab meat. Obviously I have never done it before so just thinking how to do it.
