>Is a tomahawk useful when /out/ or are they pretty much just fedora axes?
Also, what's a good tomahawk to carry on the woods?

Scalping wasn't usually done with tomahawks, it was done with knives. Tomahawks were for throwing and hand-to-hand combat.

Also, if it's sharp enough a regular hatchet will scalp just as well as a tomahawk.

What are the most valuable pieces of lumber in your area? What kind of wood do you like to work with? How can I phrase this so it doesn't sound like I'm talking about boner?
Not only species. Do you prefer standing dead wood or fallen? Tell me all things wood.

These shitty birch trees in my area are the most valuable type because they get massed chopped for paper mills and then replaced on a 10 year cycle.

If you want to know wood get a tree identification book and start learnin'

Found about 4-5 sections of 4M lomg Walnut in the bottom of one of our firewood stacks at work.

Slabbed a piece with a saw and set it aside. I know a guy who makes gun furniture who'll probably take some of it for a few grand.

Unfortunately the it had been felled regularly so the root cut wasn't made as low down as I'd have like plus it was slightly denatured. Usually if a Walnut is coming down they dig out around the base of it because that's where some of the best timber for working with is in terms of grain and funky patterns.

Personally though I like Ash, I make all my tool handles from it. Pic related.

If they fit you well and they're fairly sensible then yeah they're probably fine. The only consideration may likley be weight but that's less of a factor if you're looking at most of the newer boots from the likes of Britain, the USA and Germany.

The Elite seems to have better sheath options I'd go with it. To answer your question though it's an AUS8 blade which is fairly thin and light with quite a hard heat treat so just keep that in mind if you're going to be batoning a whole lot. It's not the longest thing in the world either and with a fine tip on it qhwhicwill limit the size of stuff you can process with it but that's actually quite a good saftey measure to ensure you don't get carried away and break it. If it's just now and then though it'll almost certainly be fine as long as you don't go crazy. It'll serve you well for other camp purposes too and if nothing else it looks pretty cool too.

Good choice but if you want to baton big nasty stuff all the time you could pick something better.

Get a load of sections of foam insulation board and use and sculpt them into the shape of flat rocks, texture them with filler or something and wire them together with a hollow space inside. Paint them up and use suspenders to hold them off the ground a bit and there you go.

You are now a cairn.

Okay, i just bought a pack.

The weight limit is 15.5lbs on it and it's a small 10L pack from Klymit. I want to know if i can exceed the weight limit by a couple of pounds, i want to fit a couple of more things into it but i don't want to damage the pack.

How do manufacturers measure load rating, does that include things that you attach externally, and is there a bit of wiggle room?

You can usually exceed the weight limit, but it's like asking how deep a submarine can go, you don't know until it's too late. An extra pound or two won't really make much difference, worse case scenario is one of the straps snapping or a seam giving but neither of these will write off the bag.

That's thirteen items not counting the pack I'd stuff it all into, and not counting two changes of clothes, my coat, and poncho. I want to eventually spend 14 days innawoods with as little kit as possible, the most I've comfortably hacked is 5 days. I suck at food gathering/fishing/hunting so the main thing holding back longer trips is poor food gathering techniques.

How to improve food gathering? There's fishy rivers near where I like to camp, but is that enough to live on?

I can't be too much help, but what I can say is:
Know what fish are running when you plan on camping. Bring appropriate bait/know where they may hide. If it's shallow enough (and legal), you can even try spear or hand fishing.

If you can, get someone who knows the area to show you some edible plants, and what to avoid. ( there are plenty of books, but may not be worth the risk of misidentification if alone )
Whatever you do gather, eat that before the rations. The gathered food will spoil before your packed rations.

You should be using two pairs of socks, a thin liner sock and a thick soft wool sock. This has the added benefit that you can use whatever kind of scratchy poverty sock you want for the outside one since it doesn't touch your skin.

This system reduces blisters cause the friction from movement goes between the socks and not into your skin, it's like a foreskin for yr foot.

Say I go out into the bush and find a bunch of plastic garbage, I'm thinking mainly shotgun shells. Is it damaging to the environment / ecosystem if I was to burn all the shells away in a fire and collect whatever remains?

I haven't done this yet (ever). But I was thinking about this possibility as, where I go shooting people don't clean up after themselves, and I do not feel in good conscious just leaving all the shit behind.

Lumber for building or fire? Building is going to be whatever is available, because you don't want to have to move it far, burning is whatever is available, because you don't want to have to move it far.

In a conifer area, you only want fallen branches. They're easy to break by hand, no tools necessary and anything you'd have to cut won't be dry enough to burn. Also, logs are for car campers. Ugh.

It's not about the number of items, it's about weight and volume. But I've done a forty pound bag and brought the kitchen sink, and I've also done a ten pound bag where I only had sleeping gear, knife and lighter. That was an eighty mile bicycle ride though, so going light was imperative. It's far more important to bring knowledge that gear.

What's a good resource to find BLM land I can just drive out to and camp out at? In Virginia right now and there's so much empty land in the mountains, just don't really know how to find places where it's safe to camp out.

or you could just recycle them

that way you arent polluting (even though buning a few plastic shells is negligable) but instead contributing

Is getting a sleeping bag wet ever an issue?
Wanting to get into /out/ and the first question I'm running into is synthetic vs down sleeping bags. With a water-tight compression bag seems like down bag would be safe from rain/river crossing.
Is there a scenario I'm forgetting? Trying to camp through a hurricane?

It's a concern because there are other ways it could get wet, leaky tent etc so take no chance on that, use a pack cover and a trash bag inside your pack. Otherwise they pack so small and light they are great. You will save pounds of weight and thank me later

Tomahawks are superior to hatchets because the head is just friction fit. Which allows you to swap handles based on intended use, make a handle while out in the field, and dissemble for hand use of the head as well as more options for packing the tomahawk to your pack.

I have one but have never had to use it. The only ticks I have ever gotten on me were crawling around and not embedded in my skin. It takes up no space / extremely little weight might as well take one with you, I hate ticks and it gives me some piece of mind.

Are you fucking retarded ? I just went camping where there was sparse tree coverage, I am not going to bush whack a half mile up and down the side of a mountain to collect kindling as my single source of fuel for a week of camping when there is already big branches and trees 20 ft from the campfire....

How do I get my girlfriend to go /out/ with me and enjoy it? The most I've ever gotten her to do is a 1 mile walk around a lake, even them she was pouting the whole time. If I ask her to go up a hill with me or even just go car camping she will often start crying to avoid going. Is there any fixing this? I've tried easing her into these things, but nothing works, she just gets angry and mopes around or cries. Help.

They carried multiple weapons. Specially later on when they had rifles. So rifle, knife and a tomahawk.

If you really have a thing about losing your weapon. Attach a string to it...now you got a tomahawk of returning. Adds a +1 to intimidate too.

They are shit for processing wood. It's a tool designed to hack at flesh, not wood. So who cares if the handle is easily change able, when it sucks as a wood processing. Only fags and mall ninjas take that shit with them. Hell even my non out gf can easily notice this with 5 mins of using it.

consider using some vinegar to force a patina and then maintain with mineral oil applied whenever you use it a lot or in wet conditions.

I spend 1% of my time actually /out/. The other 99% is me browsing 4chan, fantasizing about actually going outside, work, school, and polishing my mora collection. I'm sure the same applies to most of this board.

Need something to cook stuff in while /out/. Would prefer not to use aluminum because health hazards.

Stainless steel is too heavy for my taste. But titanium shit is fucking expensive. What do? Need a pot and a skillet, at least.

Anyone have experience with TarpTent Moment DW?

34oz + 7oz, $295 (retail)

Appears to be a relatively decent double walled tent at a lower than average weight; worried about how well it holds up and if its worth the price.

Some people just are not cut out for it, and trying to make her do it will only end up making her hate it more and hate you in the end, just find something else you can share with her and learn to enjoy your out time alone.

Either that or dump the bitch and get a new GF, the choice is yours.
