>>1568855You like vidya and want to learn guns, while also going innawoods? Do you like S.T.A.L.K.E.R.? You can do some of the innawoods challenges in pic related, they took me from basement operator to someone who actually goes out innawoods patrolling with their gear and shit, and it's a fucking blast when you make a theme and larp like you're in some eastern european radioactive shithole rather than your boring ass local forest. Military surplus gear makes great basic cheap hiking and camping equipment that'll last you a good long time.
If you don't already have a gun, I reccomend you get one and learn how to use it. If you have any friends who could teach you ask them, or check out guides online, or maybe take a class (shouldnt be hard if youre in texas). As far as choices see if you can try stuff out and find out what you like and whats in your budget. I'd recommend an SKS ($300 from Classic Firearms rn), an AR-15 (PSA kits available sub $300 rn), or some sort of lever action (I recommend a .357 magnum, so you can shoot cheap .38spc for plinking and .357 Mag is good enough for small game, deer, or people). All are cheap to shoot and you wouldnt be doing yourself a disservice if it was your only gun.
