I've started taking quite a liking to military surplus gear (specifically for cold weather). It's cheap, and works wonder and honestly it's very comfortable. Some of the layers i've bought so far could be used during warmer months, but are people going to call the police on me or do weird shit when they see someone in camo? Right now in winter it's great since no one is fucking out besides hunters and hunters embrace camo, but during the summer months all the hikers are in neon colors, bright reds, blues, yellows and I know i'll stand out like a sore thumb.

Why is this allowed?
There is literally nothing that peeves me more than parking lots trying to gate hikers in. Like there's god millions of trails without locking gates and that works fine, but no, you have to make sure they are gone by 4:30 or else you are going to trap them overnight to punish them.
Total boomer shit!

They've destroyed over half their island

>buy a bunch of cold weather gear
>its finally arriving all soon
>cold season is nearing its end
I wish i was born during the little ice age

If I were to survive alone in the wilderness I would have to kill animals every day in order to survive

Animals that all want to live more than I do

Life is always just a horrible waste

What y'all niggers doing right now?

Why is this a Japanese market exclusive

Why is it that any outdoors gear that's any good has to come in blaze orange, piss yellow, or Red 40?

how do you survive a situation like The Long Dark? as in a harsh winter that just doesn't seem to quit?
most of what i can tell, from old writings during famous terrible winters, there really isn't much you can do besides having food & fuel already stocked up, but what do you do if you don't have that?
