Last minute discussions and hopefully some sweet pics after the fact will go here. Fair warning to DFW area bros, there's some weather foretasted for the 8th so plan accordingly.
Does /out/ ever have those mancamp threads anymore? It always seemed so comfy the idea of a bunch of us living in tiny houses in the woods . Seems like now with starlink we could all have internet as well Or would that ruin the whole idea?
i understand everyone on this board is TOTALLY EQUAL ORGANIC PERMACULTURE HOMESTEADERS, but i gotta water well nigga just to water my garden your water catchment aint shit your plants will be dieing when the soil harden. fuck now water fags anyway no well having larpsteaders btfo, eternally
How would you go about making a dugout shelter that isn't a complete clickbait "youtube-tier" meme?
Something that will last, not turn into a flooded hole in the ground, or rot quickly?
I've considered lots of materials and techniques, from using bricks and cement, to welding a metal arched frame, to just going primitive with burnt logs.
How would you do it? Want to make my outdoor retreat and cabin a reality, but don't want to impact the landscape by making a big building above ground. Looking to build small and cozy.
Want to bury it into the hillside like a nice Hobbit hole, and am willing to construct with quality materials and take my time.
surprised I haven't seen a thread based on this, but seeing as it's probably retarded in 95% of cases I concede that I may be stupid myself
I've taken quite a liking to night hikes. More specifically, nights with full/near full moons with minimal cloud cover. poorfag so no NVGs, but goddamn are the night skies bright when you catch them with good illumination. bright enough that you don't even need a headlamp depending on how thick the veg is.
reasons I enjoy them >colder, less effort into layering/heat management when hoofing it hard >quiet >nobody to spook when I walk by in kit (I like the weight) >that midnight-to-3AM atmosphere >that beautiful stillness, the sky full of stars, and the grayscale palette
some hikes I frequent are near enough to town that even if the skies are cloudy, the light from the town is enough to hike without a headlamp. granted, I like these less as I feel less 'lost,' but when I'm needing to blow off some steam it's nice to be able to drive 15min to a trail any night of the week to fuck around a bit.
the one downside I genuinely consider is mountain lion, seeing as they are fairly common in my area. I've had a couple run ins, from being stalked by a mother and what I assume were her cubs, to spooking one on the trail (and damn near shitting my pants :) ). this, and the fact that if you don't plan correctly/plan too much, you'll end up with no sleep, as opposed to maybe 5h on a weeknight.
Doing a camping trip in the next month or so and have been roped in as the camp cook. It's a three day trip, what would be good foods to bring given we're going to be camping out on public land in the western US? Was thinking eggs and corn beef hash for breakfast, something light for lunch, but drawing a blank on dinners. It'll be a three day trip, so will need foods that will stay well in a cooler. Have a double propane burner, and a single butane one.
Id like to learn taxidermy to atleast have some use of the small game that i cant eat. Where should i start? What tools i need and are there any good textbooks on the subject? Pic related i paid 150€ for this and wanted to share it with you guys.
