What does your backpacking kit look like & what are your favorite pieces of gear you have that are unusual or greatly increased your quality of life on the trail? This is my basic kit alot of the gear is 10 years old or more I have recently added a camp chair & a little bidet that goes on a water bottle. My favorite piece of gear is not pictures but it is a frybake pan which is basically a lightweight dutch oven I will be using it on my trip at the end of this month to roast a chicken & make stuffing.

Why is half an acre the absolute minimum land area needed to be self sufficient?

How do you go about cooking /out/? What's the minimal gear needed to cook something you can call complex? What's the most complex dish you've prepared?

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.

Has anyone used a wool anorak by Petros for bushcraft? they look cozy and 630g has some heft. also they seem like nice people to support.
the tag line "Cozy as the hug of your loved ones" stood out to me as i am fairly estranged from family and could really use a proper hug right now. thank you for coming to my ted talk.

MRE cases make decent frisbee holders. B case gone. What’s the first menu I should rip open in A?

Are there any outdoor brands that don't use poison like gore-tex or their own in-house poison? Fjallraven is the only thing I could find but they still use basically plastic clothing only too

alpinists are douchebags

Would you? Have you lived in one, built one, or simply stayed overnight? Explain yourself.
