gear

An interesting article talking about big picture ideas when it comes to the small tools that are often mentioned on this site. Since it's from 2021 I'll let the title slide - I think they were trying to scrape clicks with the toxic masculinity hashtag more than they were trying to make that...

Supplies/general: Tarp, knife, hammock/sleeping bag, food, 1 gallon water jug, bandana/other face covering, pepper spray, power bank, lighter, ferro rod, money, paracord, backpack, marker, flashlight, faraday bag. Clothes: A set of casual clothes, a set of warm clothes, wool socks, hiking...

So I saw something at the surplus...they make wrist rockets that shoot arrows and they have an attachment to bow fish I'll get it and let everyone know how it works out it's called the pocket hunter

All the shit i use to survive. I have a decent size tarp from a dry rotted mess of a dump truck tarp. I cut the only salvageable area out of it, it arnd 8 by 10. I have a fox bag that I packed out the bins for a dollar and its doing me pretty well, I got a hand me down 40+ sleeping thats good...

Thought I’d share a favorite piece of my gear. So part of my cook kit is a used titanium mug $5 and a $10 hardware store immersion water heater... The ability to boil water in a mug ( 10oz?) With a plug in heater is incredible. I use this all the time to save fuel and comes in handy when...

Hey it’s murky, so I’ve ready for my trek. I’ll be in cars for a few months but after that I plan catching freights. Any gear tips? My back without food is 30 pounds, I have a mat tarp steaks spare ropes compact sleeping bag and hammock, micro stove, few cans of fuel, knife, mobile phone...

This is a little story I got about my first bike trip I did back in July. It took me 4 days and 1 night and I went from Düsseldorf to Munich, around 720km (447 miles for you Americans :). I'm not that great at planing trips so I just packed my bike and went for it. I followed the Rhine river...

So, what is some gear you took with you, that you thought would be great to have along, but ended up being dead weight, or just a bad idea?

Here's a story about a UK festival where the estimate (reddit) 60,000 tents and an estimated (reddit) 1 million pounds sterling of camping gear was left behind at the festival. https://thetab.com/uk/2021/08/31/tents-left-at-festivals-leeds-reading-creamfields-221131 If there isn't already an...

My traveling background is mostly backpacking. That is, bumming around with a pack, usually staying at pensions (Europe), motels (North America) or cheap hotels (Asia). Worst case i overnight in a bus terminal, train station or airport. There's still a lot of walking involved, but it's not...

Newshit kid here. Its cold as Santa's ass out here. I live in Michigan for context, so yea it's pretty easy to get your ass frozen to the concrete while you're takin' a dump (don't ask.) Anybody got any advice on how to stay warm out here? Perhaps more advice than just "wear a coat, dipshit."...

I have a ton of ideas all the time of how to get around gear problems I encounter, or to just generally improve my current system that I dont see anywhere else on the internet. I intend to write guides for all of these in the near future. Problem is, writing these big long posts obviously...

So I think we have a lot of talk about essentials what’s your favorite thing that’s not essential, a quality of life or luxury thing? I really like the squeeze bottle portable bidet I got for like $10. Keeps me feeling clean and keeps my toilet paper use low.

Does anyone have a good camera they use when they travel ? I’m thinking a common rebel

Would imagine many are familiar with the UL Shoestring Guide on r/Ultralight, and I wanted to share my experience with the Hammock Gear Economy Burrow 20. It's the old style with snap buttons to close the footbox and is standard length, width, and fill. Went with standard width and fill to keep...

So the day before I reached Britt for the convention , I decided to make a EDC video for my channel. This is basically what I carry with or without a pack.

I thought this was a very good video by Professional Hobo Shoestring, who's been traveling for over 20-years across North America. His latest video goes over his travel pack and what gear and brands he recommends:

Do you make sacrifices and only carry a small pocket knife instead of a more practical knife for camping/bushcraft if you were hitting the road? Im just thinking that a person who looks like a traveler who may be illegally walking through train yards and riding trains or walking along highways...
