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.

Pic related is obviously a bit big and Gerber, but how useless would an 8-10" sawback knife be for processing firewood? I'm currently well served by an 8" folding saw, but it'd be nice to always have a saw on my belt.

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.

>>2863556 It doesn't. Why do redditors cry about stupid shit all the time? And I'm guessing you have a 200 dollar chest freezer qued up for precisely my post. I'm just waiting to see it. Yeti and their clones last over a human lifetime before the plastics and shit really break down. Good chest freezers work for about 20 years, maybe 50, before their pumps die.

My wife was impressed after being super skeptical of the price initially. she's a convert now. I'm not a big fan of their cups and mugs, but most of their other products are legit worth the money.

Are barefoot shoes really that goated? Im buying new shoes soon, and i just wanna know if its truly the way to go. Especially considering that there arent many barefoot hiking shoes, that are somewhat waterproof.

>>2860537 They're okay, but try to go for models with stitched soles. Heard people saying that the vegan eco friendly save the planet glue they use on none stitched models isn't that great and can fail after a while.
I have some leather moccasin style sneakers from Vivo and they give a lot more sensory feedback on the terrain; Just takes a while to get used to them at first.

A tiny minority of weirdos prefere barefoot shoes over normal shoes. You might be one of them, only way to find out is to try it. I wouldnt tho

Quoted By:
>>2856498 In my experience 'barefoot' sandals feels more natural to walk in than the shoe types, which makes me still heel strike somewhat. You also don't have to worry about waterproofness.
It's important to start slow as your feet will likely be atrophied and you need to build up strength in muscles and tendons. Or you'll risk getting injured, especially if you're running or similar strenuous activities for the feet.

Are there any solid trail bikes that are under $1,000? I want to eventually try and DIY a small cabin trailer to attach to the back but looking online it looks like most trail bikes that are of reputable brands are well over 2k. Especially looking for personal experiences with recommended bikes if there are any decent ones around that price point?

>>2863091 You mostly pay for the component group (gears, breaks, wheels etc.) and brand premium. You can get a good bike for around 2-2,5k, then it's usually diminishing returns after that.
A decent bike with more basic Shimano or sram components will run you between 1-1,5k.
If you buy some cheap crap with dog shit components for a few hundred it's barely worth repairing any serious damages if something breaks.

Can I convert this little can into an alcohol stove/ heater? It has a gasketed screw in lid, that is the biggest advantage. I don't know how I would cut and fill it. I assume a WIC is a good idea on this thing so maybe just an out safe oil lamp. For 1.50 it's basically a free experiment. Thoughts?

After further testing. It's passable and the wick isn't wearing down too badly. The biggest upside I didn't expect is how quickly it cools.

>>2860930 > or the flame gets a bit low add more alcohol. DONT DO THIS! NEVER!
adding alcohol to flame will make flame get INTO the alcohol bottle, turning it into a reactor!
it will zoom out of your hand spilling ignited alcohol everywhere tumbling around with every obstacle.
welcome to hell.

check flame is absolutely out and recipient cool before refillng.

Quoted By:
>>2860143 google for fancy feast alcohol stove or cat food can alcohol stove, it's the simplest setup you can have and is dead easy to make. I've made one, and a windscreen from two cut open soda cans + paperclips. It burns denatured rubbing/fuel alcohol which you can literally buy exactly anywhere in the world for cleaning/disinfecting purposes, and while it's not fast, it's enough. Also in case some absolute n00b is reading this: no, you do not burn whiskey/wine/vodka in these stoves (someone on /out/ argued alcohol stoves were bad because alcohol iss expensive - turns out he thought you literally burn vodka in these)

Am I the only one who was happy all the time in late February and early March just because the spring had come? Just a few days later it's so warm I'm afraid it's gonna be summer in April.

>>2863537 You're not the only one. When i saw propper sun come through my windows the other day, it was like I popped molly. I got so fucking happy. There is this creek right next to my house and now that spring is here and the snow is melting the creek becomes massive, and the sight of it makes me so incredibly happy (as it means that the snow is melting properly). I'll be going on my first hike this year tomorrow, now that it isn't icy on the trail.
