misc gear

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

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...

Saw this on a forum. Takes up more space than spray and the reviews make me believe it is effective but unreliable. Has anyone used something like this...

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?

I keep breaking my zippos now i know they'll fix em for free but thats a headache to ship em to Bradford any ideas for alternatives

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...

What lucky charm do y'all's have that you can't leave home without. I'll start. I've got a sonic screwdriver that I carry everywhere I go. It's been with me for years and I know it's just a prop (that also functions as a nifty IR remote). I never realized how much this thing I carry in my...

Not sure where else to ask this here but I thought this would work. Has anyone ever traveled with little to no gear? I’ve heard stories on Reddit about it but I wondered if there was any on STP. How do you even go about doing that?

Hey STP, I've been planning on hitching out of Texas and would appreciate any tips on lightening my pack. My synthetic bag is fat and heavy, but down bags cost a lot. I dunno about dropping the sleeping pad and baking soda though. I can sleep on a bag of my clothes for insulation, but I know...

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."...

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.

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.

Will be heading back on the road on Dec. 6th with my pups after taking a almost two months break. Instead of carrying a huge pack this time I instead decided to stay traditional and will be using a bindle with a woobie blanket ( poncho liner) tied to the end of my bindle stick. The bandana is a...

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:

Who doth ambition shun And loves to live in the sun, Seeking the food he eats, And pleased with what he gets, Come hither, come hither, come hither: Here shall he see No enemy But winter and rough weather. -Shakespeare, "As You Like It" Winter is setting...

So I’m looking to upgrade my sleeping bag.I have a behemoth of a sleeping bag from like camp crystal lake lol. I’m thinking about getting either a Teton sports one or a thinner one with a fleece liner. It doesn’t really get that cold in here in south Texas but I do have thermal layers , hoodie...

Probably somewhere better for this but I couldnt figure out where to put it so here it goes... Just came across this video showing how to make string from soda bottles. Pretty awesome. I know a bunch of people here are probably as into doing it yourself as I am and will get some use out of this...✌

Anyone used one of those things (funnels, cups, whatevers) that let you pee while standing with a vagina? For example: Amazon link There are cheaper ones and some more expensive ones. How're people's success rates with these things? I've just been squatting during day hikes and there's a...

if you ever needed easy, super flammable tinder, look no further! i used a bunch of these to get some damp wood going the other night and thought i'd share WARNING: THIS SHIT IS SUPER FLAMMABLE- DON'T FUCK AROUND WITH IT to make them you'll need water, sugar, potassium nitrate stump remover...
