I wonder if you could make clothing made out of multiple alternating layers of regular material and the mesh

Well now it's too warm again, I just used two-layer gloves, wool outside and some idk what fabric inside (they were 4 bux lol).
>>2858017 I have lifting gloves, the top is a fine mesh with a wider mesh on top. If the mesh stuff works, this would only need another layer to trap the air (and cover the whole hand). Maybe I should get a sewing machine instead

Are barefoot shoes really that goated? Im buying new shoes soon, and i just wanna know if its truly the way to go. Especially considering that there arent many barefoot hiking shoes, that are somewhat waterproof.

I find I get a similar use wearing cheap aquasocks, they're better than flip flops for allowing foot movement and sensitivity, but not as secure as lace up shoes especially on downhills. On heavily travelled trails they're fine. I actually found a pair at fucking walmart that is halfway decent and has a wide toebox so they look a bit like clown shoes, but they're comfy af, worst case scenario they make good camp shoes that you can river cross with.

They’re called Tabi or something and it’s nice to keep your feet warm in winter but still slip your flops on.

>>2856498 No. Literal marketing gimick, and you probably fell for it.
All the cons of being barefoot, with none of the pros of shoes for foot protection.
Your toes get more freedom, but that's it.

>>2856498 I bought a couple of toe spacers on Temu and it fixed my knee issues overnight, literally. Started hiking in Altra Lone Peaks, which has zero drop and a wide toebox, but a thick sole. It took a couple of months, but my plantar fasciitis, which I've struggled with for years, is almost gone. True barefoot shoes, fully flexible with no soles, are good for short hikes, but not long hikes, or city walks, or jobs where you stand on tiles or concrete for long periods. Your feet need some protection, even if it's "unnatural". But absolutely get shoes with a wide toebox and zero drop, you'll feel the difference immediately and you'll never be able to go back.

This looks like it was a fun project, but I suspect you'll want to make another one sometime soon to sharpen your skills. The foxfire book has plans for log cabins with building directions. It also has a lot of historical and cultural stories from southern appalachia. Not sure if you're from here originally, but whether you've lived here your whole life or just moved to the area recently, those books are very interesting (my favorite chapters all talk about mountain foodways). Glad you're doing something /out/ anon.

/out/ give me recs on leather boots that are stylish yet practical. Preferably waterproof. Been thinking about the danner light 2, but I wanna know whats out there.

it's best to go to your local outdoors shop and talk to an expert. different use cases may require different kinds of boots. but most importantly, the shoe needs to properly fit so you don't get blisters or injuries after walking in them the whole day.

Just got this from an estate sale for a few bucks. I can’t seem to find it anywhere online. The markings say “camp trails night” another word after night but I can’t remember

>>2857299 They have weight ratings. People really need to weigh their gear (and themselves) before figuring out which snow-shoes to get.
I've never heard of a pin breaking, or the metal housing, but I have heard of bindings failing.

I found a pair of "used" brand-new Flex VRT online for cheap. I already love the BOA bindings. I'll be testing them on a moderate mountain tour, in - if the forecasts are correct - fresh snow. Come to think of it, I bet the avalanche warning level will be quite high.

I got TSL Camos and I can't tell if they suck or not because they're the only snowshoe I use. Last outing they were collapsing several inches with every step and I punched through. Is it even possible to tell if getting Lightning Accents would help?
Anonymous
>>2857299 >>2857468 I think the weight rating is more a matter of the amount of provided float, unless you're drastically over the rated weight. I know that out here in the northeast we don't really have 5+ feet of powder so float is less important than traction for us, at least for more "technical" hiking snowshoes. I could be completely wrong on the weight ratings though.
>>2857623 Several inches is fine, you aren't going to float on the very surface without pretty large shoes especially with a heavier bag on.

Quoted By:
>>2857626 Float and weight rating are different things.
Weight rating is the design threshold before mechanical failure probability skyrockets. Float is directly related to the type of snow you're hiking through.
MSR have additional extenders you can add to their shoes that will increase the "float" but will not increase the "weight rating."
I live in the west so the snow is heavy and wet. I never use the floats. I can also, easily, go over the shoe's wight ratings but still be able to "stay on top of" the snow.
OP bought a couple acres in Appalachia and is building a cabin inna woods from scratch. Picrel is a recent photo from OP. For some reason the second cabin thread has been removed, probably because the jannies are gay and don't like nice things. We demand more cabin updates!

Quoted By:
Life after 30 is a slow-motion suicide without family. It's all the negatives of getting old; watching your friends drift away as they start their own families, your parents and siblings getting old and die, watching everything in your life slowly putter out as the magic fades; without any of the positives of things like family or community to shore you up. Everything rots away and you're left with the bleakness of oblivion, no hope of anything continuing. Anyone who has experienced considerable ageing among his family members (or already in himself), knows how blackpilling it is. It's really rough, once people pass their early 50s (or sometimes even sooner) you start to notice the slip-ups, forgetfulness, the declining of fine motor skills, the difficulties understanding new information. Human existence is a tragedy, there are so few years that you are allowed with full mental and physical strength. Your peak years are mostly wasted with education, where you have barely any control over your own life, because you have little to no money nor autonomy. Add to that the time spent sleeping, working, hygiene, housework, shopping, appointments, visits to the workshop - what do we have left? Everyone who has to work for a living basically leads a precarious existence, regardless of whether they are a simple worker or a well-paid employee. Before they have built up a comfortable fortune and a well established understanding of the world, the body goes downhill.

Hey dumb idiot, shut the fuck up :D life is what you make of it and this blackpilled doomer mindset is the most depressing thing you posted. Plenty of blokes in their 50s are in their prime, peak self-actualisation and confidence in the skills they've mastered over years of work, training and experience. If you don't put in the effort to get to that stage later in the life, then yes, you should be depressed, but its never too late to change. It's really fucking simple, just start doing it and put this pessimistic retard ideology behind you as any edgy teenager should.
