If you are a hunter or angler you now possess the power to bring back two species. Game or fish. You can only pick one category.
>you may pick two species
>one will not displace or harm an ecosystem
>it will be available to pursue by yourself and the public in its traditional range and sustain itself
>the other will be only for you in an environment which it lived
>you will have a one time pursuit of it with sufficient resources
>either species may be living or extinct

What are your choices?

What are your favorite biomes?

I'm gathering ideas for biomes and natural environments. I'd like to know if anyone knows of any natural environment or biome that they find pretty. It could be a description, a picture of nature that you like, anything helps.

Isn't Mont Blanc somewhat shitty?

I'd like to climb a really big mountain but Mont Blanc is certainly not my dream, despite its beuty. Grossglockner is much less suicidal if you have some climbing experience.

Outdoors Gear

Can you help me pick retired army gear for hunting, /out/?

Reason is that I tried looking for hunting clothes and they were seemingly expensive and really shitty, mostly made from >80% plastics. I remember back when I was young and would buy them for cross country hacking, uniforms were decent almost all cotton or polyester with cotton lining in the least and not too pricey. Other than that ripstop weave, good pocket size and distribution amongst other things. Even the buttons/zips were huge which would be a huge boon with gloved fingers.

So I'm wondering if anyone happens to know off-hand which winter gear is semi-effective camouflage that isn't in current use?

Eco-Autarky: Resources Into Products

No.2856990 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
Explanation: What Is Eco-Autarky?
An eco-autarky loop, otherwise known as eco-autarky, is a self-sufficiency system with strong emphasis on ecological principals, independence from industrial supply chains, and minimum waste. Eco-autarky loops go a step beyond traditional economic autarky (self-sufficiency).
Eco-autarky loops (through all-natural, low-impact regenerative methodology) result in the production of essential resources using renewable biological processes, easily acquirable resources and closed-loop systems. Each stage of an eco-autarky loop may provide useful byproducts.

Example: Eco-Autarkical Disinfectant Cleaner
The following eco-autarkical closed-loop system results in an all-natural disinfectant cleaner from excess harvested/wasted fruit/plant material, producing useful byproducts throughout 5 stages of production.

Stage 1: Harvest or collect apples, pears, grapes, berries, peaches and/or sugar-rich roots (beets, carrots) in your garden or food forest. Use windfalls, overripe fruit, peels, cores - anything that would normally become waste.
Stage 2: Alcoholic Fermentation (Yeast Phase) - Crush/chop the harvest to make a simple fruit mash or juice. Add yeast to the fruit juice then ferment in a jar/bucket for 1-3 weeks.
Byproductive result: fruit wine or hard cider
