What do you guys generally use as a preferred mousetrap? (to protect your chicken coops & barns that are /out/, of course)
I've been using snap traps with this exact style of trigger, they work really good, nice and sensitive.
For bait, tootsie rolls work best, since they gotta work for it; peanut butter is good as an attractant too.

This is a map of the public roads in Alaska. Just let that sink in compared to its overall size.

Summertime fun edition

General thread for all living history, reenacting, actual LARP /out/ stuff.

So what are your plans for the summer? How has the record heat and projected increase affected your initial plans or equipment?

Do any of you guys use smart watches for hiking nav? I'm tired of having to pull out my phone and shit. Been looking at like the Fenix 7x, enduro 3 or even Suunto Vertical / Race S. Seems like it would be easier just to look at my wrist everytime i want to check if i'm on track still or if i need to change trails. Leaning towards the Race S just because it's the cheapest of them all with decent maps it seems. Curious if you all have any experience with any watch brands.

Tell me your fishing spots.

Going there this summer for the first time, what am i in for?

Hypothetically speaking, how would you fake your own death and go live in the woods? What gear would you take?

I am sure you've all seen it before. You're on a hike, and you come across a mud puddle. There is plenty of space on the side of the trail to pass by without stepping in the mud. But, for some reason there are adult sized footprints right down the middle of the mud puddle. So my question is: what kind of person is walking through mud? Is it intentional or are they just stupid and/or unaware of their surroundings?

can someone recommend me a good device for displaying maps in pdf and jpeg format? im trying to quit using my phone when im /out/, but i still need maps for when im caving, and i dont want to haul around a big binder with printed maps like some of my buddies do.
