>>669995Matter of fact I am building a shelter. Right now it's the /out/ skill I'm trying to get better at, so when I go /out/ I practice it. After this it's gonna be snares and cordage, and then it's gonna be edible plants and fungi.
>Saw/AxeThe saw is essential for snow camping. Finding deadwood that soaked through is no good, so I saw off the tips so that it can stand on its own and split it with the forest axe. Wire saws are prone to break and difficult to maneuver and overall just use more calories because the task takes longer. The axe comes in clutch for snow camping too, because I don't want to baton at extremely cold temps and break my bk9. Big knife produces big strips of tinder.
Using the right tool for the job saves energy and is safer. In all the saw, knife and axe weigh about 4.5 lbs and save me a fuck ton of trouble.
>binocularsThe binocs are actually pretty good for a D&B prize.
>southardwhat's a better folder for /out/. open to suggestions.
>lanternGive it a rest, m8. I like a bit of ambient light whilst I'm cooking. Pic related. It's the fuckhueg lantern you're always on about.
