I want to see what little things you've made to improve the experience that other folks would have just bought.

>This is my dual fuel stove.

I've lived most of my life in a Midwestern city and once spent two days in the Nevada desert after driving a friend to Cali several years ago. It had just rained so there was a bloom and it was amazing.
Since then I have romanticized about spending real time in the desert. I've camped a lot but most of it was with our tents less than a hundred yards from our cars. I have gone kind of deep into the Shawnee National forest a few times and done other rough camping a few times but the desert is a different beast.
I was hoping some anons who spend time in the deserts in western America could talk about their adventures.
What could Ihunt to eat and would my .17HMR bolt action suit mt needs? How do I know what's edible. How do I set up camp so I don't get eating by the fauna?

Hi, /out/.

I want to start going /out/ what are some essential things I need?

Just had my birthday, my sister brought me 12 MRE's, all butter chicken (they come in a case).

Is there anyway to eat this crap without getting constipation? I don't want to have to carry prune juice with me...

Is there anywhere I could get some /out/ related ebooks? I'm not looking for anything in particular. Post what you've got.

Ok /out/doorsmen/ladies,

These are the patches I promised.

Shield patch goes for $12.00
Bear at table (round) $9.00
Carn kicker (round) $10.00

Please request me as contact on skype for shipping details and arrangements.

Hope you guys like them will post more pics of them on my gear once I have a chance to iron them on.

I love hiking with my friends, and would like to spice the experience up beyond simply walking and enjoying the view. To make our 3-4-day hikes more interesting, I'm planning to hide a few caches along our trail beforehand containing stuff like beer, candy, and hints for the next cache.

To help my friends find the cache, I thought about giving them these challenges:
>Do a math problem to get the coordinates within ~100m accuracy
>Do an anagram where "A=1, B=2..." to get the accuracy within ~1m of the cache
>Do 10 burpees for a hint (can be used multiple times for several hints, and I will do the burpees with them)
>Put a rock in the first cache, explain that they will get additional reward if they bring the pet rock to a designated spot

What other challenges could I give them to make finding the caches more fun?

What are some other things I could put in the caches?

Suggestions for other stuff to do besides caches?

Do you play any games while hiking?

/out/ Patch discussion, old thread is auto-saging.
Please continue to discuss patches and the hopefully sale of said patches by anon <3

I live in Texas.

Can someone tell me what fall is like, to those who get it?

What can all you /out/doors people tell me about these rocks? I'm trying to get into wilderness survival and I figure: "I might as well start with fire". So I'm pretty sure the left rock is Flint, but what is the right rock? I was striking them together and I wanna know if I have the right stones for this, I mean I got one small spark. Is the "right" rock chert?
