I have a Vortex 8x25 mono that I like to bring, but I regret not buying the 10x25. Binos are my old Nikon Travelite III 10x25.
Have you been on a walk or hike out in rural territory recently, /out/? Please post about it.
I just went for a walk in the English countryside. I was pretty tired towards the end of it. The pedometer on my phone says I went at least 6 miles, which I guess doesn't sound too far. I think it could have been further than that, and some uphill sections were a bit steep. Also I'm not used to long walks at all.
Sup /out/, went camping (at a wilderness campsite) recently to try out some winter gear. Sleeping bag, sleeping pad, and the rewaterproofing on my tent held up really well.
One issue I had, was that while there were plenty of big logs available, there was no tinder or kindling and I had to use my swiss army knife to baton massive pieces of firewood to start a fire. This was fucking atrocious work and I realise I need a good fixed blade knife. Now I've got it in my head to get a big knife or a hatchet, picrel is available in a very decent 6 inch blade and this beauty of a 10 inch blade. As much as I know 6 inch is probably fine, my gorilla brain is telling me to get this big fucking thing, then I don't even need a hatchet and can carry the SKA for small tasks/multitool.
Convince me otherwise before I drop serious money on this thing.
Is it wrong to buy a knife just because you think it looks nice? >pic related I know it's not super steel, or the best value for money. I just like how it looks.
Why does this cost 3x more than a chest freezer? A chest freezer has electrics, compressor, cooling circuit, and also has the same polyurethane foam insulation.
Will be going to central asia next winter and wondering what the best jacket is for temps that can get down to -30C. Does anyone have an opinion or should I just fork it out for a north face jacket that looks like shit. Will be tracking animals so can't be too bright or flashy. Any recs?
