I've become the literal schizo in the woods aimlessly hiking around in full milsurp and shemagh with tactical strapped glasses on and 2 weeks of food in ruck and a staff, axe, huge silky, recurve, broad heads, 30in kukri and a baofeng with an extended battery strapped to the outside of my gear ranting at himself in full detail.

I'm so fucking based.
