First for best telescopic rod is the one you exchanged for a 3pc.

Talk about fishin

Do you wear a helmet when you are riding your bike? why or why not? i used to be heavy into road biking and going FAST in traffic to show off and get my adrenaline going so i always wore a helmet otherwise i felt extremely exposed, but now that im older i prefer to just cruise on the bike paths and take in the scenery and smell the fresh air, so i stopped wearing a helmet and just let the wind blow through my hair

looking for a blueprint of a underhand chop so i can have my local welder build one for me, can't really find much online, thanks in advance

>no bugs
>no overheating
>air feels fresh
>no bugs (again, this is a big one)
>less likely to stumble upon someone
>can cook up water from snow
>cold makes you consume more calories = more appetite = food tastes better
>building a cozy shelter
>being cold and warming up is a good feeling in contrast to scorching swamp ass-conditions
>clothes don't get dirty from mud, etc

Only late autumn is a worthy contender, in my opinion.

Weather is starting to get cold and I wanted to get you guys opinion so I figured I'd get the wool general going
What's an acceptable blend in your guys experience for /out/ings? I'm looking at getting one of those L.L. Bean birdseye sweaters and it's 80 wool 20 Rayon. Will the rayon be detrimental at all? Anyone have experience?

DWR is truly the devils work

It works fine and dandy out of factory, but god forbid you get stains or perfume on it, and then its basically ruined forever.
Bonus:
f your dryer do not get hot enough, it can't activate the coating. If its hot enough, there is a good chance its going to ruin the outwear, ideally by melting seams.
What you bought a fancy 3 layer jacket? Congratulations, its only DWR on the shell, meaning its not a musky and sweaty jacket after treatment the 2 liners will now trap moisture.

From what I gather, most of these are boomer-occupied. That's fine if those are the best ones but I can't help but feeling their insight is a bit dated. I just want to know where the interesting stuff is from people that actually homestead/prep/do survivalism which is more strictly oriented toward these lifestyles

Sup /out/, went camping (at a wilderness campsite) recently to try out some winter gear. Sleeping bag, sleeping pad, and the rewaterproofing on my tent held up really well.

One issue I had, was that while there were plenty of big logs available, there was no tinder or kindling and I had to use my swiss army knife to baton massive pieces of firewood to start a fire. This was fucking atrocious work and I realise I need a good fixed blade knife. Now I've got it in my head to get a big knife or a hatchet, picrel is available in a very decent 6 inch blade and this beauty of a 10 inch blade. As much as I know 6 inch is probably fine, my gorilla brain is telling me to get this big fucking thing, then I don't even need a hatchet and can carry the SKA for small tasks/multitool.

Convince me otherwise before I drop serious money on this thing.
