Anyone into prospecting/panning/using similar tools to get shiny things while you're /out/? I recently bought a kit and tried it out yesterday, seems like a fun hobby. With the currency at all time lows it might even be lucrative.
Might head up into the White Mountains this weekend and try my luck.

What is the /out/ consensus on this debate?

Currently stuck on my island due to weak ice situation. Also rate my homestead. Would you like to experience this kind of isolation? I think its nice to disconnect from outer world for while

Do you attend to your equipment after a good hike?

Autistic question, does anyone have any hunting stories from this wilderness specifically?

have you ever thought is there such a thing as /out/ oldfag

Hi /out/ TLDR: I want to know all about making drinking water.
long story: I am gettin a little into prepping. I don't really like the scene because it's full of faggots thinking they are Rambo and spending loads on equipment. but I also think I should know a little about what to do in an emergency. I can't rely on public services.
in order to get into, I thought about the most probable scenario in my case. that would be urban survival. and I thought that the first and most important thing I should know is how to make drinking water. how to make sure I can get clean water, or clean it myself.
Any advice is welcome. Discussion too, but main point is drinking water.

Hey /out/,
Just got invited on a two week elk hunting trip next fall. I don't have many details, all I know is it's in WY. I'm pretty excited, I've never hunted in my life aside from popping a few squirrels and groundhogs and have always wanted to do something like this. What am I in for? What can I do to prepare? What should I be aware of? What are some good resources to learn more?
Post hunting stories too

I'm trying to make pure urushiol oil (the active ingredient in poison ivy) but am unsure where to start. I tried to ask AI chats but they all refused to help. If someone could point me in the right direction or give me the basic method I'd be very grateful.

I'm going to the Konigsee near Berchtesgarten tomorrow for some snowy winter hiking along the lake
Anyone hike this area before?
Any wintertime hiking advice would be apreciated
