Planning to go /out/ soon with some friends. Any tips or reminders for someone relatively new? Any and all help is appreciated. Can't wait to be out there.

I've been to that very spot.

How about some details on what you are planning? /out/ is rather fast, with many levels, degrees, and aspects. With the level of info you've given, the only tip anyone can really offer is try not to get yourself or anyone else killed.

A buddy of mine has a grandfather who owns land in Middle Tennessee. He keeps it real nice kept, well, about as nice as you can keep the wilderness. Water has been lab tested, but I'm still bringing my klean kanteen cause muh water. Taking a rather large group of about 5-6. Plan to stay a couple of nights. Preferably wanting to try sleeping out with a wind tarp and making a log bedding. Plan to take a .22 hunting rifle I've had for a while. .22 is expensive as fuck to stock ammo for, but it's the weapon I know the best. Just looking for really easy don't fuck up things.

Be nice to the property, wildlife and plants. Don't unload your guns into shit just because you think you're in the middle of nowhere. Grandpa might like the squirrels and trees without bullet holes in them. Don't fuck with shit your host doesn't want fucked with or your never going back. If you get a bedroom with pictures on the walls or on the nightstand, take a picture of where they were and put them in a drawer so you don't accidently break them. Use the picture to put them back how they were.

Make sure not to dress too warm while walking, downgrade your cold weather gear while on the trail and put it on when you stop.

.22 used to be expensive back a couple years, but it's gone down a bit in Tennessee. Most places were running out as soon as they stocked them.

Don't do what that Anon said. Batoning with a knife is something only to be done to test the durability of a knife for review purposes or as a measure of desperation. It will ruin any knife you do it with.

If you are going to an area with ticks, treat your clothes with permethrin. It's kind of creepy when you get back home and find a dozen ticks attached to your scrotum.

High level trolling right there.

>>1409634
A folding saw or bow saw/buck saw blade are all you need for processing firewood. You can use a knife to make feather sticks and/or shavings for fire starting. If you bring only a bow saw/buck saw blade you can make a frame for it using tree limbs. The buck saw will also need a cord for tensioning. You can make the cordage onsite if you know how and the right plants/trees grow there.

>>1411471
He's right about not going to far on your first outtings. You need to test your equipment or new equipment and new skills. Even when you have tried and true equipment and you are an expert, you should spend the first night not too far from the starting position or local store. That way, you'll use all your equipment the first night and morning and know for a fact you did not forget anything. If you did, you can simply go back and get that one item or two from home or a store.

.22 was literally never as expensive as any centerfire caliber

it may have been much harder to find in lots of places, but that is over. it's cheap as fuck and has always been cheap as fuck. go out and buy like 3000 rounds for nothing and you're good for years

Wait until spring for your first hike. You'll need both winter and summer gear. Know the wildlife in your area. Ticks, mosquitoes, and snakes are some of the only animals you really need to worry about, unless you're in grizzly country. But it's generally not the wildlife that kills you but the skinwalkers.

I respectfully disagree here.

Go on a day hike in the woods in the winter. Dress well and bring water and snacks, maybe a knife and something to make fire, and a space blanket to at least get you in the mood and get your mind thinking.

Winter hikes are amazing because it gets you used to the pure feeling of covering distance and reading terrain and topography without any other interference like bugs and plants.

From there you can build. Winter topography is bare-bones. You'll get to know the woods and as you spend more time in it you watch things spring up in the spring and see how each organism plays its part and has a life cycle.

Just trust me on this. It's all about observing.

Agreed, I like to scout new hunting spots in the winter , can see farther, easier to see low spots, few/no people to share the woods with, can see tracks easily, no conservation officers ( don’t break laws but don’t like being hassled), only bummer is the lack of daylight.

Also you just pick a nice warm day and you should see some game. Up north animals wait til it’s not -20 to come out.
