I haven’t worn anything with a raised heel in maybe ten years. I saw a mega thread on a running forum where the OP asked for an explanation as to why shoes have heels that sit higher than the forefoot. No one could give a reasonable answer; generic “support” seemed like a go-to but with know real thought out into it. Stepping back it really didn’t make any sense. Why would we need to support our legs and feet, outside of injury or some kind of Forest Gump birth defect? “You’re a perfectly normal, healthy person; wear these orthopedic shoes so your ankles are always in plantar flexion and you’re bent into lumbar lordosis whenever you’re standing or walking.” The further I looked into it, the more I realized the truth: there is no reason. It’s almost entirely cosmetic. >but hundreds of years can’t be wrong We drank mercury as medication and doctors went straight from autopsies to childbirth without washing their hands. George Washington was probably killed by blood letting. People are fucking stupid. Shoes have raised heels to make you look taller. That’s it. That’s almost the entire reason. And they have narrow toes so they can come to a point, making your feet look longer so girls will think you have a bigger dick. >almost We used to ride horses everywhere. Separate heels allow you to lock against a stirrup. This specific use case worked its way into fashion as horse ownership became more ubiquitous. Prior to that, everyone wore sandals. There are options now, but people still chose the raised heel. Why? For the same reason raised heels still exist: tradition. Form over function. “It’s just always been that way”/“it’s what I’ve always used.”

I have this Decathlon fishing sling bag, but wouldn't use it for a day hike. It good for the city or when you need minimal equipment but for a hike a normal backpack is better.

>European Starlings What do you guys do to get rid of them? I just put on imagerelated & shoot them, they don't really notice it when shaded (or care if theres dead starlings all over the ground either). The suit is a bit annoying though, so are there any other good camos that they can't see easily? Do standard turkey/duck hunting sets work just as good? I know certain birds see different colors and other weird stuff, so I won't wanna get something that stands out like a beacon to them.

So im planning to snare trap the nutria at my local lake. Ive got the trap and a few fitting spots and all. The only thing im unsure about is how to do the actual kiling. I was thinking of just grabbing its neck and cutting its throat, the same way one kills a fish. Will it thrash around so much that this isnt a good idea? I will wait near the trap, so he will not be tired out once i try to go for the kill. I wanna kill the little fella as quickly as possible with as little pain as possible but im unsure where to stab him. Will a pocket knife suffice or should i bring a large chef knife? Guns are not an option. These animals have nasty teeth so im somewhat scared to get hurt. Also considered a hatched or an axe but this wouldnt really be the most painless method and im also concerned about ruining the fur which i wanna use later on. Has anyone here got experience with killing critters like that and can give some pointers on how to approach the killing blow please?

We used to hunt jackrabbits with a twenty two. Tons of fun and always aiming for a head shot. Rarely was death instantaneous. They flop around a bit. They cry and yell, loudly, very creepy. The thing to do is grasp them by the back legs and swing them in a high arc and slam them into the ground. It will stun the beast but don't be fooled. Slam that beast into the ground hard a few more times till you are sure it's dead. It forces the air out of lungs and breaks their necks. Much easier than cutting the neck. Otherwise if it's wiley in the cage or trap, slip a noose of strong thin diameter rope or a wire or such around its neck while it's in cage. Pull for all your might and hold on for it's death.

Quoted By:
>>2862493 Like beavers, they can give a nasty bite so best not to mess around close in. Old school trappers usually club them. I've had to trap out woodchucks and I give them a double tap point blank with a bb gun.
Thing to watch out for if you're on public land is getting caught trapping without a license.

These are the closest in design to the traditional jungle boot. I will however say that anything made by Rothco other than Buttons are trash.

>>2866889 That pic you posted is more of an urban commuter bag, in my opinion and less an /out/ bag.
I have the manta 24, its a great bag. The form factor is large for a daypack but since it has an internal frame it still carries well when its not filled.
My only complaint is that the lumbar belt pockets are hard to close with one hand, since the pocket material isn't rigid enough to keep the zipper in line. It also creaks a little bit but that's really not a big deal for me.

>>2864201 Inflatable sleeping pad with memory foam with R rating of 2 or better. Bulkier than just a sleeping pad, but provides more support, so your hips and shoulders don't bottom out. Throw that on a cot and bring a real pillow and you're sleeping pretty mush as well as you can outdoors.
