currently doing a 1000km solo back packing trip starting in the Negev desert near the read sea and hoping to finish below the golan heights near kibutz Dan

I'm planning a first time camping trip next month
I'm going solo and backcountry hiking in middle of Ontario, Lake Superior provincial park. Watched hundreds of videos and read hundreds of guides on camping so I'm confident
wish me luck bros

so I guess the most impressive part is he made it through ALL the stuff down to the beach but never made it back

Post your preferred hiking shoe and the rest of us can judge how /out/ they are

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?

Anyone use any sling bags for day hikes? If so, what sling bags do you guys use?

but why does it make me feel so bad sometimes?

How do I learn to enjoy the sea?
A friend got injured and basically handed me two pedal kayaks (similar to pic, a bit larger).
>Took it out and pedaled.
>enjoyed just going around but found that unlike hiking I can't really bring all that much with me.
>Not like I'm cooking over a fire sitting on a kayak.
>Got bored of baking in the sun j
>just paddled around for exercise.

I've never fished before in my life, the whole pole-fishing thing seems like a moneyhole but idk. I think the kayak has a fishingpole stand.
I definitely need to figure out some kind of shade for it
Not sure what else is out there, would appreciate some thoughts from sea-faring anons

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.

Anyone from /out/ tell me if the Kantamus 60L is worth it? Looking for an endgame backpack that will survive the apocalypse.
