What's good hammock brand?I'm in EuNeed one for 2 pers.Must have mosquito net and detachable rain cover
What's the deal with hammocks? I heard you were never supposed to pitch your tent under a tree because branches can fall off and crush your tent, but hammockbros don't seem worry about this? What about sticky tree sap?
>>2728171>I can’t find to trees in a forestOk
>>2728216You heard wrong. Trees provide an excellent wind break and a little rain cover, sort of. Just look up for dead branches. Inb4 some o about a tree killing someone.
>>2728206Using the truck's exhaust to warm the hammock at night = peak comfy
>>2725462>Leśny Ludzik>Wydra13Have seen good reviews for both brands, but haven't pulled a trigger yet. For now I'm still using one from Decathlon until I can decide which one to choose.
I got bit by a fucking tick in april.
>>2726855>t. has no idea what ticks are
>>2722997So what? There have been years where I got bit by them over 50 times and nothing ever happened.
>>2726574I live in one of those orange places and I'm more scared of Lyme because I'm vax maxxed against TBE
>>2722997>I got bit by a fucking tick in april.east coast tax
This fucker was in me for about 5 days before I realized it. I'm allergic to Doxy so I couldn't get it. Doc said our area is extremely Lyme heavy so if I feel any symptoms to come back and they can look for alternative treatments if I test positive for Lyme.I've been having a headache the past 3 days, am I gonna die, anons?

Plus it puts her on full display rather than having privacy, all to gain 2x4 feet of storage that could be kept in shopping bags above the bed, which double as camouflage. My ex had a H.Element like this, you could at least sit up. Wasn't the worst place for a first time.

My mom never let me go to Scout/summer camp because she was afraid that I might get raped.What did I miss out on?
>>2713073/thread
>>2713113It's posts like this that remind me why users of this website hate ESLs so much.
>>2713072like other in the thread have said, it really depends on the troop you join, you might get an asshole who orders you to stand there with your underwear down to jerk into them and makes you walk around with his jizz in you shorts all day, or you might get one who knows how to groom and successfully manipulates you into feeling like taking his dick is rewarding male attention.
I dropped out of scouts freshman year of high school. I started as a Tiger Scout in the first grade. My scouting experience was great honestly, but it had a heavy fall off thanks to the "newer" generation of scouts.My father was very involved, and due to his demanding work schedule, scouts was one of the few times we had to really connect and be together. I had a lot of great friends in scouts, and our troop was very /out/ so it was a ton of fun. Then most of my friends left, we a couple years of the slimiest, most pathetic, vegan, fundamentalist families storm the troop and they just ruined it. Severely overbearing parents, arguments about every activity or trip, mind-numbingly obsessed rule enforcers. It was fucking miserable. They couldn't really do anything about it because that was the stock of parents they got, and the only way the troop stays alive is if parents are there to fund and support it. One time we even threw a football around and one kid got dropped because he wasn't paying attention. The mom marched right over, screaming, yanked the football from a kid's hand, and locked it in her car. The parents argued and bickered for hours and my dad, and four or five other parents, ended up just tossing our stuff in the back of their cars and leaving with us. Went to a few more meetings and eventually didn't feel like it anymore. My dad tried to convince me to find another troop but the magic was gone.Fortunately I maintained my passion for going /out/, scouts is the reason for that.
Hazing and soft torture was all fair game in our dad's days.Getting raped at camp by sick counselor was possible but rare.Today, it appears to be the new normal.Take a glance at what has become of the former YMCA of NY:instagram(.)com/campreimagined/What is right about this picture?

>>2728321Those big brand reels rarely go on sale. Even during sale period, stores sometimes exclude those brands as well. Usually, they only go on big sale if they release a new model of a series. American store mostly goes on sale in holiday such as 4th of July, labor day, black friday.
Anyone here crab snare? Whats your setup?Mine is some cheap 7" heavy trolling rod and an old but reliable Ryobi Catcher 4m with 40lb mono. Looking at a Master Power 6000 12' rod on sale for $30 to upgrade for better casting distance for the beach since the piers in my area only give undersized Dungeness and maybe a keeper red rock croc
>>2728327no invite? sounds fun :D
>>2728439I used the Okuma Crab Snare Special rod and a Quantum Reliance 65 reel with 50lb braid, the set up served me well this season, it’s casts 6oz to 10oz really well and I even casted 12oz with it. I also had a Daiwa BG 5000 and a 12’ Daiwa Beef Stick rod and I ended up liking the Okuma/Quantum set up more. What snares are you using?

Id like to learn taxidermy to atleast have some use of the small game that i cant eat. Where should i start? What tools i need and are there any good textbooks on the subject? Pic related i paid 150€ for this and wanted to share it with you guys.
>>2720999At first I thought that was a slipper.
>>2727700Possum is cleaner than other animals like that, they can't get rabies for example. That's why hillbillies ate them.
>>2722229you killed your cat for the hide?
>>2728320From what I hear, it's not that they can't, it's more that their body temperature is so low it's incredibly unlikely to the point it's nearly impossible. They're pretty clean from what I hear and the only real example of anything they carry is something that they can transmit to horses, which seems extremely overblown as I've never seen actual examples, just "but it could happen!". I guess I'd be acting the same way with a horse worth probably a couple grand though. Other than that, maybe they can carry raccoon roundworm (haven't been able to find much other than the horse thing so who knows) but...>While raccoons are the roundworm’s primary host, other types of animals can become infected. Birds and small mammals, such as rodents and rabbits, are susceptible to the parasite.>Fewer than 25 cases of Baylisascaris disease have been documented in the United States.>It is possible that human infection is more common than diagnosed and most cases do not reach a clinical stage.>In North America, B. procyonis infection rates in raccoons are very high, being found in around 70% of adult raccoons and 90% of juvenile raccoons.So lol it seems like it's a parasite that can really be in any animal and the possibility of being infected is rare unless you eat, like, raccoon which has been poorly prepared in both the butchering and cooking stages. I believe I've heard foxes can carry it too as well as most canines. So make that most animals in the woods as they include rodents too.I'm also just curious about what they might carry because I might end up trapping eventually. I think opossums are pretty clean, but it's always hard to tell. Any of those I'd catch I'd probably let go. Raccoons are pretty up there when it comes to amount of diseases carried/likeliness of carrying them. Everything else is somewhere in-between. Squirrels, I think, are pretty clean, probably up near the top.
>>2720999>>2721011That's right and a good source for OP; I forgot you can collect roadkill in the UK (you can in the US too but it varies state by state and animal by animal; check your laws as it may require a hunting loicense). Rabies is all but gone there too so have at it! (albeit still with doubled up nitrile gloves, a steady hand, some 70% alcohol on standby for cuts, and maybe a respirator if you're doing something like scraping fat and really kicking up juices in the air)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7YhaO87Ans
I'm a beginner tanner, I've been practicing by tanning a few hides, never seen this before though. I noticed the skin is striped? This was a wild black tailed jackrabbit caught in the West Coast USA. Is this normal?? I researched it to death, and I can't find anything about what can cause striped skin in a jackrabbit. It was a healthy looking rabbit, very responsive, no lethargy or anything like that, just wondering if this is normal or some sort of disease?
Anyone use these for camping?I like the idea that you sleep off the ground and it sets up fast
>>2727637I have, for car camping. If you don’t have a van/camper/trailer, and are just camping out of a Lada or an Accord or similar, they are awesome.Pair it with an air mattress, find one that is close/exact same dimensions as the cot.Very comfy.
>>2727637>Lada or an AccordOff topic but these are some of the 2 most separate possible vehicles in their niche.
>>2727793that anon covered the entire spread of vehiclies by choosing thoose brands.doesnt matter what you drive, it will fall between accord and lada.

dogs killed my last rooster. I’m in city limits so would have trouble if I stay up and shoot the fucker but I built a big ass trap for it. Also putting in for a suppressor for my 22LR.

>>2727917Xylitol is a water soluble natural sweetener which is completely safe for human consumption (and quite sweet) however it's extremely poisonous for dogs, as little as 0.5g per kilogram of dog's body mass will usually cause acute liver failure, higher doses practically guarantee death.
Does code require you to build houses of "engineered" wood instead of real wood?
>>2727917Get a rooster that can kill dogs. Maybe a Malay.
Anyone else hate noise?That's why I like the outdoors
>BBBBRRRRAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPanyone say something?
i was born with tinnitus :(
It depends on the noise, /out/ background sounds like waves crashing on the beach, wind blowing through trees, light rain innawoods (when you're dry and under a tarp) are relaxing.But yeah the constant drone of city noise is mild torture.
>>2728096I believe noise pollution affects everyone, not just autists. Normies don't understand what damage this shit world is doing to them because they lack self-reflection and are stupid herd animals. But if you look around everyone is fat and ugly these days. And pollution is why, with noise pollution being in the top tier.
