Who else is innawoods with a campfire?

Also, campfire general.

I'm new to being /out/
whats you're favorite pair of hiking boots that could also be worn around without looking like a weirdo.

what's your favorite brand of boot?

This is one for all you hunters out there.

Please share your recipes for cooking with Venison. Doesn't have to be stew, just an exchange of good food recipes involving good meat.

Well?

I don't know if /out/ likes bass pro shops, but I currently work for them and live about a mile away from their grandfather store in Springfield MO. I get 40% off bass pro brand gear, so I thought I'd use that to create a good bug out bag. Having never created one before, I was wondering if you guys woulnd't mind helping me choose what to put in it.

This might seem like a strange question, but is camping even possible? Every time I go, something happens and ruins my enjoyment.
>fire won't light, have to eat cold beans
>sleeping bag refuses to go back in the carrying sack, have to roll it up and carry it
>good knots randomly untie, sending my tent down on my
>trip over a dead animal, fall onto it, get covered in festering deer guts
>wake up with hands and feet tied with paracord and half my gear missing
How do you guys do it? Just soldier on through, or am I just extremely unlucky?

Which stove, bush box or firebox nano?

Greetings /out/doors men. Grab your comfy and your bucket hat and neat me /out/side.

/out/ I have a problem. Years ago I started out going hiking and backpacking with my ex-fiance. I had always loved the outdoors, camping and exploring, but never had gotten into more serious hiking and backpacking. I loved it, i even lost 35lbs hiking so that i could take it more serious. Well we broke up about 3 months ago and i have not been able to get myself up and out into the woods. I have never been solo backpacking (overnight or more) and i keep telling myself its something that i have to do, that i shouldn't need someone else to be there for it to be enjoyable or possible for me to do. Each weekend that comes up i find that i have no motivation, or i find little excuses (its raining, i have errands to do, i need to relax for work, i dont feel good blahblah). So i end up sitting at home playing video games that i don't even like anymore. How do i get myself back out there? I can probably guess some responses. "Stop being a pussy". "You just have to get out there anon!" I guess im hoping for something out of left field, some epiphany level advice. Maybe i just need to give it time to work through being depressed? I should note that i still hike, but only one place that's nearby. Its a good training hike as its short (can be done after work) and has a lot of elevation gain and its one that i have done a million times prior. Other than that i cant dig down deep enough to get out there. Ironically enough, i feel like if i could conquer this fear, then it would help me evolve as a person and help me move on and heal. Thanks in advance for the advice my fellow /out/doorsmen.
