>>2855815 a coworker of mine did a few tours to the desoltate islands surrounding svalbard, norrway got weather and radar stations there. he where dog sledding on his time off one day and got tired of the krag rifle on his back hitting his head on every bump, so he took it of and put in on his sledge, and right there the dogs took off and ran home with the sledge, rifle and all his gear. and he had to walk home in icebear land, unarmed, no gear, nothing. it was just a 5km walk or so but plenty of time to get eaten by ice bear.
yes svalbard has these signs at stores and its one of few if not the only airports where you can rent a gun.

>>2856035 i dont really enjoy telling other peoples stories here, they should be telling them themselfs but they are boomers who can barely read a newspaper on their phone. im lucky enough that i work with some of them boomers and when its suited i tell their story. that guy btw, his tour was at hopen radio (google maps it) with some detours to bjørnøya, jan mayen and svalbard. and he didnt tell his wife about it
>im going for work >when will you be home? >in 14months... for the stories and experience, you should look up such guys and listen to them.

>>2856500 Ya really. Yes it's retarded. Producing plastic is environmentally harmless (and could even be done from biological ethanol). Disposing of it is. I have to wonder whether the effort of transforming recycled polyester into jackets instead of just burning it isn't even more harmful than just producing it new.

Is off-grid living a wealthy person's hobby? I can't live in an off-grid cabin full time because the code doesn't allow that, and I also would need a primary residential address. The only way to make it work off-grid is if you already have a real home.

This thing + some batteries gets you 240v service. I dunno if you need split phase or not but search for inverters till you find something in spec.

Could you survive in the Australian outback with only your knife, a cast iron frypan, a soup pot, your hard-driving 4x4, 150liters of fuel, 70 liters of water, a shovel, a winch, a bedroll, and a saw??

>>2856044 exactly. but im a friensless looser who does all my offroading alone. sand beaches is one of the things i try to avoid since sand is one of the worst and most unpredicable terrains to drive on. not that there are many sand beaches in norway, but they do exist... snow is actually easier, it behaves in a predictable way.

I joined a local club and while it may be 90% boomers it still allows me to drive my car in places I wouldn't dream of doing alone.

I am looking at a 10 day trip. Post your staples, your ideas and your critique. I think my breakfast is solid. I call it an oat bomb.>100g rolled oats, 20g whole milk powder, 20g desiccated coconut, 20g brown sugar, 10g chia seeds That's almost 750cal for breakfast. Prepared before the trip and ready to go as individually stored 170g dry mix in a zip bag. Lunch looks like this >2x 6inch flatbread, 100g dry aged salami, 60g hard cheddar cheese, 20g crushed pumpkin seed, 10g chia seeds That's a 1000cal lunch, 6 inch bread because it fits in the frypan better meaning I can make a quesadilla by sealing both together with cheese, or I can make two smaller wraps. The crushed pumpkin and chia seeds end up in the melted cheese. Proper dry aged salami so that it lasts the trip and the cheese should be dry aged too, 'sharp' or 'vintage', cut in half and vacuum sealed. I am going with pumpkin seeds as they beat most nuts pound for pound and crushing them doesnt turn them into a butter type thing. Dinner; I am unsure what to do here. It wont be a heavy dinner it can be smaller than lunch. I am still pondering this one. Whatever I decide on will likely be a mix of the things I am already carrying. Possibly a mini pizza using the 6 inch flatbread.

>>2856398 Okay so everyday if you don't just lay in bed and move at all you burn around 2100 calories. For me I always try to run atleast a slight deficit on trips like this so your probably good if you can float somewhere between 2500-2700 a day with the activity level you've explained. Obviously you can run a deeper deficit for 10 days so don't worry if it seems unattainable I would just suggest trying to get atleast 2500 as you'll likely feel better and stronger for the entire trip that way.

If I'm going on a long trip I take meal replacement shakes. Might as well take the diet variety in fact, lose some weight while camping. They certainly feel like I'm eating something, not drinking something, and are packed with vitamins/minerals. I can chuck a bag of it in my pack and have 14 full meals for hardly any space/weight. Then when I return I look like the picture of health from the nutrition, exercise, fresh air and good forest sleep. I keep thinking maybe I'll try military rations but no real need.

Been a while since we've had an EDC thread. What are some things you always carry with you? Got any new gear recently? Knife? Flashlight? Tactical spork? I've been wanting to put together a little edc first aid kit, not like my actual hiking first aid kit, just smaller things I might need on the day to day. But I havnt really settled on a pouch yet, or, if I should get a small plastic tupperware container because it's waterproof and I hear things like bandaids can get roughed up pretty easily in a pouch

My girlfriend is from Michigan and she grew up fishing. She doesn't have her gear anymore, so I wanted to buy her something for her birthday coming up. I'm a hunter and have no fucking clue what to look at for poles; is there a solid generic thing you guys can recommend for a 120 lb girl?

>>2856015 get a spinning reel rod with a casting wieight between 5-40 grams and line bwtween ,25mm to ,35mm. thats the most universal setup you can get, with todays lines you can go to down to ,20 ish thickness and get the same breaking strength. the american standard of measuring breaking strenght is so much bullshit. a fishing reel can hold as much of a certain thickness line, that capacity is based on its thickness not on on its breaking strength. i want to know can my reel hold 200m of ,25? i dont want to know if it can hold x yards of x lbs.

As far as brands it really depends how much money you want to spend but if you're looking to spend as much as the pic in your op make sure it's made in the U.S. or Japan. Otherwise youre just over paying when you can get a good ugly stick or Shakespeare for a WAYYY better price
