Can I convert this little can into an alcohol stove/ heater? It has a gasketed screw in lid, that is the biggest advantage. I don't know how I would cut and fill it. I assume a WIC is a good idea on this thing so maybe just an out safe oil lamp. For 1.50 it's basically a free experiment. Thoughts?

I made an alcohol stove with a heineken can when I was 14 you can probably look up guides online my friends dad taught me how but I am sure it is common enough knowledge

>>2860143 Hey Op, take the cardboard tube out of a a roll of toilet paper, shove the TP into a coffee can then pour in at least 90% alcohol. It will burn for hours, when the TP starts to get singed or the flame gets a bit low add more alcohol.

I'm applying to conservation corps. I know the pay is going to shit but I'm retarded and I think it's cool to camp and work on trails all day. Anyone have experiences with /out/ jobs?

Anyone here train to become a ranger? What about a firewatch? Id love to be a firewatch, i know the job basically doesn't exist anymore, but I'd love to be one.

>>2859223 >>2860233 Here in michigan most dnr officers are on welfare part of the year. You cap out at like $23 an hour. Then you get laid off for 1 or 2 months because the government is so cheap. Crazy to think that a job with so much outward prestige treats their own people like shit. Several coworkers are ex conservation officers and they worked at target or Kroger in their laid off months. Ranger is basically a more seasonal version... expect pay from $12 an hour to $18... good for kids.

>>2860328 And they probably need at least a Masters to even qualify for that $23 lol.

>RINJANI MOUNTAIN AREA, WEST NUSA TENGGARA, INDONESIA – JUNE, 2025 Hiking trip ended tragically for 26-year-old Brazilian tourist Juliana Marins. On June 21, she set out on the “Cemara Tunggal” trail with five other people. Likely due to fatigue and the slippery terrain, she lost her balance and fell approximately 500–650 feet (150–200 meters) down a steep, rocky slope. She survived the fall but landed in an area her companions couldn’t reach. They had to contact the national park authorities to launch a rescue operation.Rescue efforts began immediately after the alert, but the search was hampered by poor weather conditions, thick fog, and extremely rugged terrain. She was eventually found on June 24 at the bottom of a ravine, another 1,600 feet (500 meters) below. Sadly, nature was unforgiving – she was found dead. It’s believed she tried to find help on her own after waiting for some time but fell from another slope, this time fatally.

>>2858653 >I could have saved her no you can't. rescue teams literally already rappeled down to do just that, but the dumb bitch kept tripping and falling down further and further. even though a drone already told her to stay fucking put because help IS coming

>>2858653 You don't know that, and the premise is sus.
If people were rapping to her, and they couldn't get her, nobody else should be trying to 'save' her.
Hunkering down seems right, reduce exposure, work on signalling. Rescue takes hours not minutes.

Autist here. What is the appropriate way to greet women that you encounter on the trail?

>>2860081 Ya, sorry I've had so many bad experiences with shitty women that people refuse to take accountability for. Guess it makes a mother fucker jaded after awhile, nobody holding women accountable for anything, as if they're children we for some reason granted voting rights.
I'm already doing everything I can to improve myself, it's time for women to take accountability for being pieces of shit and creating this shitty modern dating dynamic, and if they can't do that, we the Chuds will rise up, revoke the 19th amendment, name the jew, and restore order to the world.

Hello /out/ serious (though retarded) thread. I won't find rest until I've hunted, killed, skinned, cut up and put in glass jars a 120+ pounds wild boar. Problem is, my country's admin is retarded (even moreso than I) and I still don't have my hunting license, so no heavy firepower for me. Now, how do I prepare physically and mentally to be up to the task ? I haven't found any serious advice and my dad, who's a hunter, told me that was a retarded idea. I'm sure there has to be a way though, please help.

Do you work a job that allows you to experience the outdoors? Do you plan to? Tell us about it. I was a beekeeper for many years. It was such an enjoyable job. No clipping or marking if the queen wanted to leave she could and the hives were always in beautiful spots. Sometimes the rain would destroy the tracks to get in and so we had to hike several hours to the hives. What I really enjoyed was realising the bees remembered me and working on them wearing no protection. Such beautiful little creatures it gave me a strong appreciation towards them.

Depending on how the ladder was made, how much use it got while the mine was running and moisture in the mine. Some ladders have weak and broken rungs. I absolutely hate the feeling of a rung splitting when I put weight on it. keep your hands on the vertical sections of the ladder and distribute weight across the most area possible. place your feet near the sides of the rungs and not in the middle.

>>2860736 ladders with the rungs against the rock face are a little sketchy. It is harder to get a good purchase on the rungs with your feet while descending or ascending them.
