>>5548 That's Smug propaganda. >Was I wrong all these years? Ultimately up to you. The pragmatic approach that I take as a fellow autist is that social interactions create social circles you can rely on in emergencies, and you must learn to balance people taking advantage of you with people who deserve your goodwill. It just gets harder and harder to start as you get older but it's a skill that only grows in exchange once you start.

>>5526 A legit ofuton is going to be fucking xbox hueg to carry around bro.

>>5548 This guy has it spot on >>5549, We're interacting now does a phone line and a computer make it any different?? If you can't make it on your own you're gunna need others, if you can make it alone great well done idc what you do if you're doing it right >>5543 >I wanna a form a group I gave advice on how I formed my group that go kamping several times a year and of that group I formed a smaller hiking group that meets every sunday to walk our dogs, drink beer and converse. Bonding if you will away from women. Once you learn that Europeans evolved to co-operate in not exclusively kin-groups to survive the harsh winters you half way to figuring out how to survive right. Depending on SHTF senario and length of time it will last chances are you will need to co-operate with others. Are there many military divisions of just one man? Why is that?

>>5551 >We're interacting now does a phone line and a computer make it any different?? I can't speak for him, but from what I've observed, yes, it does make a difference for legit spergs; I think it's (at least in part) because the absence of nonverbal cues on both ends kinda levels the playing field for them. Source: younger brother is an actual sperg.

I'm looking for a new backpack (50-70L under 200 euros) for my /out/ings, since the one I have is falling appart. What would be Anon's recommendation? I don't like the modern look of most packs and fear that the quality might be shit for 5 years max. What backpack does Anon use?

>>5553 Honestly my current travel backpack is just a cheap single-pouch drawstring backpack that's lasted me the last couple years, but I remember swissgear was always a good economy brand that seemed to last and take a beating back in school.

>>5553 Surplus BW rucksack has been pretty good to me. Basic ~65L canvas bag with little to no frills or added comfort. Padding is adequate up to a point, anything beyond which is probably too much shit to be hauling around anyway. Add the groundmat for a little more rigidity and budget in for minor repairs (I replaced the shoulder-strap buckles as the originals slipped, and one of the zipper pulls came off which doesn't impact functionality enough for me to bother fixing it) and you'd still come in way under budget. Only suggestion I would make beyond that is to consider adding a battlebelt of sorts as the 25mm webbing will positively fuck your shit up. Doesn't need to be too fancy, airsoft gear will probably suffice as long as it has some nice padding. Alternatively you might find some interesting deals through a local source of surplus. Many Western-European countries have opted for commercial gear in some capacity the last few decades, and as a result you might snag yourself a slightly scuffed up top of the line Berghaus for under a hundo.

>>5553 I found a Columbia Wildwood internal frame on clearance a couple years ago for $80 at a local sporting goods store. It's modern looking but at least it's all black. It's very adjustable and comfortable but it it won't handle the load a external frame pack would. The clips and buckles look thin but seem to be made of higher quality plastic than the walmart brand, I haven't managed to break one yet at least.

>>5552 I like to look down on normalniggers and like the feeling of wallowing in my weird mixture of self hate and contempt for everyone else. I want to be a worthless leech off the hedonistic cattle society that I despise so much. Rebellion through inaction. I don't think there is any way I can revert to any other kind mindset. I have found comfort in this kind of thinking. Everything is pozzed beyond repair. Why do anything at all?

>>5549 >>5557

>>5557 >Why do anything at all? For me it's because there's a lot of good that can be done even if you hate people. As an example, here's a bunch of dirty unwashed hippies (with realistic environmentalist goals) who are fighting with the Romanian government to flood a forest to save some fish and birds. It shows you visually how much of an impact these guys are having for nature only by playing nice with normalfags. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_ozlB1wLKk

>>5557 >I like to look down on normalniggers and like the feeling of wallowing in my weird mixture of self hate and contempt for everyone else Literal textbook narcissism.

>>5560 I said I hate myself. Can you not read?

>>5537 Middle one looks like a Tentsile. Eurotrash company, heavy-ass tents from what I recall, but pretty cool.

>>5536 Tried the first method recently in the cold rain and looking at this image is making it clearer to me how I should've set it up to avoid water runoff from the ends of the hammock. Maybe I could've tied off my worn socks in a pinch to absorb the droplets. >>5534 The obvious advantage is insulating yourself from the ground if it is wet, cold or both while keeping most ground dwellers off you. What worries me is being stuck like a caterpillar in a cocoon when you're sleeping so you basically have to be coiled up with whatever you have to defend yourself with with the mentality that if something grabs you then you have to be able to give them the death bite. It's definitely not primitive as in luxury but may be worth it if you don't have the tools to get decent sleep on the cold floor. My quest at the moment is finding the perfect pack that has some water proofing, dividers for clean vs dirty gear and a good frame so I'm not getting scoliosis every time I wear more than 20lbs.

>>5564 >water proofing, dividers Dry bags. Or trash bags if you don't want to spend the shekels, but those break easy.

>>5564 >What worries me is being stuck like a caterpillar in a cocoon when you're sleeping Well, nothing says you have to hang your hammock close to the ground. Hang it three or four meters in the air and nothing can get you... just make sure you're not the type to move around in your sleep first.

>>5565 A dry bag is useful for keeping an organized pack but it would be even more useful to have an improvised floatation device because waterproofing improves buoyancy. >>5566 >nothing can get you Hammocks are great because they keep the ground from steeling your body heat. If a racoon, squirrel, possum, bird, bear, creepy crawly or any other manner of crawling or flying beast really wanted to it could get in your hammock no matter how heigh you set up. You're adding unnecessary risk setting up at heights that could leave you seriously injured if you fell on your head because you're tired and miss your footing getting into/out of it, something pushes you off balance or the worst is if the anchor points fail. Waist height should be sufficient in most scenarios. Maybe the only time i'ld set up high like that is if there's is a safety net halway below to break a lethal fall. Murphy's Law is always in effect.

What would be the best firearm and caliber for hunting small game like rabbits and squirrels? Also should I make a thread specifically for talking about hunting and hunting related topics or will this one suffice? It's hard to comprehend that this thread is 2 years old. Time really flies, doesn't it?

How to get over the fear of getting paintball shot? I pussied out by shooting myself in the leg, because I saw someone coming out of the arena looking like this.

>>5568 .22 short

Got my fishing loicense the other day brehs. Been doing map reconnaissance of local holes, gonna be focusing on panfish for the most part. I'm a total noob when it comes to fishing; any tips?

>>5572 >any tips? -Enjoy the ride -Be patient I have a friend who actually got a PhD about fish, simply b/c he already loved to fish so much all day erry day, and wanted a way to make money while fishing. True story.

>>5572 Crawfish lures are really good for catching large mouth bass if you ever go for those. Otherwise just look up what the fish eat, throw your line in and do what >>5573 says. Also don't be a loud retard, it scares the fish away.

>>5570 Wear extra layers of clothing. Unless they are upping the pressure/freezing the paintballs getting shot by a regular paintball barely stings for a second unless of course they get a lucky shot in the balls or you get domed

>>5575 If someone is freezing paintballs feel free to kick them as hard as you can in the dick, everyone else will probably "not see anything".

>>5573 >>5574 Thanks gents. >be patient Yeah, getting better at that as I age. >don't be a loud retard One outta two ain't bad, right? >bass Seem likely to be relatively highly pressured (see? I'm not just asking to be spoonfed); but we'll see. Not like I'm averse to catching them, after all. >PhDbro That's actually really fucking based dude; I frankly kinda envy guys like that. >reddit spacing for clarity Anyone here into bowfishing? And anyone got experience with those little Garmin InReach doohickeys? I've had bad experiences with full-fledged satphones in the past, so I'd like to know if those are reliable.

>>5542 Larger wolf population meant they wouldn’t fuck coyotes out of desperation, probably

>>5572 >any tips? Yes, if your gonna fish during the Summer time be sure to wear light breathable sweat wicking and UPF rated pants and long sleeve shirts so your not eaten alive by the mosquitos since you'll be sitting still by the water for a while. I prefer that anyway since I hate bug spray and how it inevitably just rolls off with your sweat after a few hours. Just spray around the few vulnerable area's around your body like the ankles and collar of your shirt. D not underestimate how quickly a swarm of mosquitos and other such insects will make you absolutely miserable.

Do you guys know any good campsites in New England specifically Maine and New Hampshire? All the ones I'm looking at are either lakes or going to be swarming with vacationers.

>>5492 I suggest that you should take a look at pemmican (both of these videos) : https://invidio.us/watch?v=x_vLuMobHCI https://invidio.us/watch?v=HQZj1-lSilw&listen=false Pemmican is basically dried beef jerky that is ground-to-dust, and mix with rendered suet. One important semantic that Townsend touches on in the comments, is that you NEED to use suet as your fat, other fats wouldn't preserve the meat the way the suet does. I personally would recommend vaccum-sealing it, as with colonial times, they would seal it in a second layer of suet, just to be extra-sure it's properly preserved. If you -really- want to make it as shelf-stable as possible, just stick with dried meat and suet, and cook with whatever else stuff you got on hand. >>5577 Speaking of bows, I've been thinking of getting a bow for target shooting and possibly hunting. The problem is, I'm a lefty, most bows in the shops are for right-handers. How do I find/ask for a left-handed bow?

>>5581 >>5492 Oh, and some warnings regarding suet if you choose to make pemmican. 1. Render suet at between 190-220 Farenheit. Any hotter is asking for a bad day, and some crockpots don't go below that. 2. If you ever spill it or it's dried in the floor/counter, only something hot can clean it up. Get something hot and wipe it up with it, either through microwaving a lightly-damp cloth towel, or by using a heated swiffer/mop. 3. Pouring liquid suet down the drain is asking for a bad time. (it gets hard when cold, meaning, horrible clogs).
