seeing as /out/ seems to be 80% people who have never spent a night outside in their lives taking advice from 19% dudes who dick around in the woods on weekends with milsurp and consider themselves "outdoorsmen" I think it's time for an /out/ PSA thread.
>if your pack weighs more than 25lbs, youre an idiot
>if you carry a hatchet or saw innawoods and you dont have a specific purpose for it, youre an idiot
>milsurp gear is only acceptable for hobo-tier budgets and even then there are usually better options
>any kind of pack with MOLLE or with "tactical" or "assault" in the name is cringey and a bad decision for civilian backpackers
>external frames in 2016 are a bad decision
>GoRuck is overpriced gimmicky trash
>a knife longer than 3 inches is a compensation tool
>sleeping pads are for insulation and you are not hardcore for not using one, just dumb
>military boots are unnecessarily heavy and not even used in the military unless required
>you should use a cannister stove on the trail, youre not daniel boone, fire cooking is not practical
>camping and hiking is not as dangerous as this board pretends and you dont need to make an advice thread for your first weekend trip
anything i missed?
