>>2831651 For just fucking around /out/ with no pack or a light pack, in dry-ish conditions, trail runners.
Carrying heavy and/or off-trail with uneven ground over long days, boots.
If it's just wet and cold, either boots or gaiters.

Am I being a consumerist whore gearfag by getting trail shoes when my normal shoes might be fine or is it a sensible purchase for the activity?

Never ever. Not my boots, backpack, trekking poles, gaiters, crampons, snowshoes etc. Maybe once or twice I hosed them down. They just stay dirty in the garage. To be honest I never thought to. I'm sure it's a good idea but my stuff lasts a very long time without doing this. I don't think washing my footwear would make it last longer as it's large tears or the sole wearing out that has made me get new ones in the past.

Autistic question, does anyone have any hunting stories from this wilderness specifically?

Hi /out/ TLDR: I want to know all about making drinking water. long story: I am gettin a little into prepping. I don't really like the scene because it's full of faggots thinking they are Rambo and spending loads on equipment. but I also think I should know a little about what to do in an emergency. I can't rely on public services. in order to get into, I thought about the most probable scenario in my case. that would be urban survival. and I thought that the first and most important thing I should know is how to make drinking water. how to make sure I can get clean water, or clean it myself. Any advice is welcome. Discussion too, but main point is drinking water.

The active chemical that does most of the work when you add bleach to water is hypochlorous acid (HOCL). It's a strong disinfectant that's also noncytotoxic.

>>2844564 >>2844598 Well, if you want a redundant water source from your municipal supply, I recommend digging a well. You can hook it up to your plumbing and everything, or you can just throw a hand pump on it and forget about it. Just make sure you test it for hazards and treat it accordingly. Relying on rainwater is generally a bad idea, even if your area gets plenty of it consistently, since you'll often be limited by how much you can collect.
If you're in an apartment or something, just plan to hoard tap water.

Hey /out/, Just got invited on a two week elk hunting trip next fall. I don't have many details, all I know is it's in WY. I'm pretty excited, I've never hunted in my life aside from popping a few squirrels and groundhogs and have always wanted to do something like this. What am I in for? What can I do to prepare? What should I be aware of? What are some good resources to learn more? Post hunting stories too

>What should I be aware of? If you're fat then you're gonna fucking die.
>What are some good resources to learn more? Asking people who have hunted elk in the Rockies about hunting elk in the Rockies. Start with whoever invited you.

>>2850052 I was watching a TV show called "Northwoods law" (iirc).
Basically COPS but for hicks.
A game warden came across some guys on the side of a mountain carving up a moose. They had gotten a little jumpy and didn't wait for the moose to come down before shooting it and it fell on rough terrain they couldnt access with their quads to drag it out.
Wonton waste is a big deal- you can lose your hunting license over it.
So they were carving up this beast in out in the sun and the flies to get it in small enough pieces to hike out.

I'm trying to make pure urushiol oil (the active ingredient in poison ivy) but am unsure where to start. I tried to ask AI chats but they all refused to help. If someone could point me in the right direction or give me the basic method I'd be very grateful.

Do what the pot heads do to extract oils from weed. Try mashing up the poison oak leaves into a mush to maximize the surface area. Steep the mush in plenty of butane (you'd need to have a chiller for this) or methanol. This should dissolve any oils in the leaves I would leave it in there for a little. Run the fluid through a filter and maybe a water separator but at least strain it to get rid of the solids. Gently heat the solution at the boiling point. This should remove the solvent and leave behind any oils that hang out in the leaves. This should be good enough for your purpose I am sure there are several typs of oils in those leaves but you don't need to isolate it into some kind of lab-grade shit.

I'm going to the Konigsee near Berchtesgarten tomorrow for some snowy winter hiking along the lake Anyone hike this area before? Any wintertime hiking advice would be apreciated
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>2850246 >wintertime hiking advice Don't wear too much, or you will be sweaty, then cold later.
Don't skimp on water just because it's cold. Bring enough food.
Bring a change of socks. Feet get sweaty easily.
Consider gaiters if you walk through snow, they protect against both snow and cold. Bit late for that though if you go tomorrow.

Decide on 2 nights with the potential for 4 in terms of packing. Put everything that "you need" in your backpack and walk around your town with it on, are you comfortable? Now you can decide if you want to add more weight or perhaps take some things out. Put your tent up and take it down, repack it, so that you know the process when you get there, sometimes things take longer and it's getting dark which is fine when you're prepared. Take a warmer sleeping bag than is necessary, you can always unzip it a tad but you can only zip up a thin one so far. These days $100 will get you a sub-zero bag that packs down small and weighs 3lbs (onetigris) on amazon. I went out with a stove tent and just blankets once because huh the stove will keep me warm all night, but of course it went out after 2 hours leaving me shivering hahaha. Invest in a solid -5 sleeping bag if it's going to get anywhere near cold. Take some paper and cardboard, enough to get 2 fires going, so that there's no worries about wet wood. I carry a small bottle of methylated spirits (for a spirit burner) so that even half-soaked wood will spark up well enough if necessary. On my first trip I forgot to buy firelighters and the trees were soaked, now I carry several methods of creating effective fire. If you plan to go more times and next year: buy a titanium stove if you can find one at a good price. I have no tariffs so I can buy from chinese ebay, but regardless they back down to less than 3.5 POUNDS with the chimney. Such a great thing to have with you believe me.
