Could you use grounded down asphalt instead of rocks or any other alternative if you for example lacked charchoal?

If you can't find fucking rocks, don't worry, you won't be finding water to filter, you're dead cityfag.

How to take care of leather hiking boots? I bought a pair of razorbacks, but I have no clue of how to take care of leather? And how to break them in? Help me /out/

I use it on horse tack, motorcycle riding gear, and work boots. It's great and it's cheap. You can buy it by the gallon at horse supply stores.

>>2858106 To break them in, wear them. Around the house for a bit, then out for a few walks, then out for a few hikes. I don't have any experience with that brand, but the break-in period can be a bitch, so don't take them out for a long hike/walk the first time.
For care, every time you wear them outside, brush them off with a good shoe brush. Once in a while, condition them with something. I like mink oil for various reasons, but if you are in a wet climate you might need something waxier.
Congrats on the new boots, Anon.

Hello /out/ it's me again. Maybe it is time for another abandoned mine exploration thread. I have posted these for over a decade; this will be the last one. AMA. I'll answer what I can. I hope you enjoy.

We'll all miss you mineanon. Happy to see you've stayed alive all these years. Will you still explore and simply not post, or are you calling it quits altogether?

>>2858449 Thanks, brother, I will miss the people that enjoyed these pics.
I hope my exploring days aren't over, but it is tough to say for sure.
I often think about how many people said I was going to die doing this when I first started posting these threads.

>>2858467 I am sad to hear that you're leaving. Your posts over the years have inspired me to visit some mines. As a result I've gotten to go to really cool places and see some unique things. There is a lot of history out there, just buried and forgotten beneath the surface.
Have a picture of the first ever mine I went into; I revisited it last year only to find the it had collapsed more. I had to reduce this picture to get it past the filesize limit.

>>2858470 That is awesome! I love hearing that. I'm glad you are getting out and seeing some of these places. Even if you never go underground the amount of cool stuff you will find on the surface is worth the time and effort. I hope you keep going out and enjoy the history as much as I have.
Autist here. What is the appropriate way to greet women that you encounter on the trail?

>>2855171 Here's my take in those situations. Women are allowed to wear whatever they want; she could have worn anything, but she chose to wear *that.* She chose to put her ass on display, and therefore, I can only reasonably conclude that she wants it to be seen. Women don't get to dress like that, then complain about being looked at; it's our eyes, our choice.

>>2858092 -15c is cold enough that equipment failure or simple errors can kill you. If you had cold camp experience, it would still be something to be cautious about. The AT is not a good place to find out that you were not actually prepared for cold camping, because evacuating yourself will be a chore, one you may physically be unable to do without risk of death or severe thermal injury, if you soak a boot, for instance.
I would advise bailing.

Post your favorite /out/ patches. Also, how do you display any patches you don't have on a pack? I tried doing a board but I think I need more patches because it feels empty.
