Is there anything I should know to deal with winter conditions hiking? I've never been hiking with a significant amount of snow or ice, but am planning to do some in January in the Appalachians around VA, WV, MD, and/or PA.

I see you just mentioned hiking. Be careful in the winter time though. Understand that it gets very cold at night and often windy. If you decide to camp overnight you need a very good inflatable pad to keep you off of the frozen ground. The ground will wick all of the heat away from your body because your body weight will crush the insulating material you are laying on.

>>2857659 I like having spares, especially of different weights in case I sweat one out or want to adjust. How do you propose to wear a buff as a hat?
>>2857781 >You want a rigid boot with crampons. I respectfully disagree. There are some routes where you need steel-shanked mountaineering boots and crampons like lions head, but ammo and jewell are both walk-ups you can do in trail runners and microspikes on a good day. I absolutely believe in coming prepared though, and on the bad days packing light and fast like that will get you killed. That being said, if you were to park at ammo on a sunday or monday the weekend crowd will probably have tamped down the trail enough to breeze up in a few hours under good conditions.

Actually can anyone recommend me resources to learn and train as a hunter ? I mean I could go out in the wilderness and try to figure it out myself, but are there any books or videos on the subject ? I haven't seen "educated hunters" whether irl on online, just guys who go out with a gun and a permit and shoot (sometimes coordinating with each other)

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.

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

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.
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.

Quoted By:
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.
Anonymous
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!
