Down in the south, the US military started doing these retarded ops (look of operation big buzz/big itch, there was a couple and I can't remember them all) where they would dump a metric fuckton of insects (like mosquitos, etc) for biowarfare tests or some shit. Long story short, they farmed up a shitton of insects and started dumping them everywhere. Thing is, they didn't die off or disappear, so some areas are still completely fucked because of it.

What I'm basically trying to say is that in some places, it's a lot worse now than it used to be.

Also, it's a lot warmer now than it used to be, so insects of more active. But fuck Canada and the arctic plains…….you fuckers have some seriously out of fucking control bugs flying around.

The idea about some people being less prone to bugs bothering them interests me. My father's side of my family seems to be impervious to it and so am I. My brother however seems to attract the fuckers. I'll be sitting pretty and fine watching him get eaten alive across the campfire. I was always told that it eating tons of garlic, which is something I do, makes your body odor repel bugs though, not necessarily genetics. Has anyone done any research on this? Anecdotally it seems to me like a common knowledge thing that some people just don't get bitten a lot and that makes it seem odd that I've never heard of a study about it.

Herbs.

In Germany we have the Spitzwegerich((Plantago lanceolata) and the Breitwegerich (Plantago major) that is used against Insekbites, for Wound disinfection and against Blisters by Wanderers.

Cinnamon, Lavender, Melissa, Peppermint, Sandalwood, Rosemary, Cedrus, Carnation, Lemon grass, Pelargonium and Nimtree, they all keep mosquito and other bugs away to different degrees.

If that doesn't help, you can always cover your body with mud.

Sweat, Salt, Perfume and dark Clothes all attract mosquitos and they are the most active during the twilight hours.

I have discussed this while in SE-Asia; with students from various parts of the middle east, africa, asia, etc. It is commonly held that some people will get bitten and others not due to different blood and scent, some people are preferentially sought out by mosquitoes. This was very evident during a trek with a group from all over the world. Some would constantly be swatting mosquitos- and others would not even get a a single bite.

According to some, O type blood is preferred; I didn't see much to confirm or deny that. To me it doesn't sound implausible that differences in blood cells - such as shape & surface proteins would make some more easily digested by bugs, than others.

Another interesting point- immune response differences were notable too. There was variance in size of inflammation, duration of inflammation, how reddened etc the bite site was. Some people for instance had swelling after a day, others had a little raised bump that went away after an hour or so.

>Something I've observed in my time /out/ is that I get bitten by mosquitos to a much greater extent than my swarthier, tanner, and older relatives.

I've personally noticed that people with lighter skin seem to be more likely to be mosquito targets.

>>1220

I'm pretty mosquito immune - I have olive skin, A+ blood, and I've been told by ladyfriends I taste very salty.

>>1156

> In addition, the mosquitoes that annoy you a lot here, the ones with stripey abdomens are recent migrants from Asia, so the natives wouldn't have to deal with them.

Am I the only one who finds them less annoying? They're more likely to bite, and they breed more easily, but they're also much less likely to come indoors, much easier to spot and swat because of the stripes, and their bites are much less likely to cause inflammation.

Hey /out/

I'm a student living in Melbourne Australia. I'm in my final year of high school and I've been looking to the future. I've decided that I don't want to go to University straight away (if at all) and I want to do a sort of money burning Supertramp, into the wild adventure thing. I probably won't burn my money but I do want to disappear for a bit, see where the road takes me.

I was wondering if you guys had any tips/tricks for backpacking/being homeless.

I fucking hate the city and I need to get out, I just want to live simpler and see what I can find.

Hey it's OP. I'm out of highschool now. I went to uni. I hated it.

I hate almost everyone around me. I'm sick of "success" I'm sick of people, I'm sick of "power" I'm sick of money, I'm sick of temptation but mostly I'm sick of everything being so fucking easy. Having easy food and easy transport has made me fat and lazy. I want to get to the roots of humanity, The roots of being a living creature.

Nothing makes me happy anymore except when I'm out hunting/camping with my dad. Which rarely happens because he's fat and lazy as well.

I've been using a Hennessy Expedition A-sym for the past few years, and it's been serving me well. Had a squirrel chew some of the mosquito netting on my last trip of the summer though, and I need to patch it this winter. Knew a guy who had used his hennesy for over 10k miles of trips, they're good quality, if a little more mainstream.

My only problem with my hammock is the A-sym fly, it works but there have been nights when I've wished for a 6 point fly so I could have 4 pegs, and therefore less rain blowing up inside my hammock and getting me wet. That can be avoided by making sure your fly is set up properly (and weighted: protip, a full nalgene with a beaner makes a GREAT weight for a corner of your fly!) but a 6 point would allow me to be less diligent about setup.

its looking at natures ultimate beauty.

ever since man became sentient we gazed up to the stars.

i think it has to do with the ultimate goal of human progress.

you could argue human culure had its roots in stargazing because every society knew the movement of the stars (planets) and the moon.

thats why i love "2001 a space odyssey".

its a pity less and less people value space exploration and its even more a pity light pollution makes it near impossible to watch the stars in many areas

so how do you plant them? buy a tree at a gardening store or get a sapling from the woods or do you start with a seed?

My family uses wood to heat the house, it's some circle of life feel to plant and cut the wood.

Hey /out/

I usually come here to lurk and learn stuff about outdoor living since I'm a big fan of being outside and working.

Me and some people are currently working on a project where we are setting up a crowdfunded at the moment, to buy land somewhere in Canada (location/country not 100% sure right now but Canada seems like the best option right now since land is very cheap).

The idea is to build up a self-sustainable eco-friendly village out in the open where we can hunt/fish/work/build, well just do things that we enjoy doing outdoors. We have people with various skills and backgrounds and have been planning/working on this idea for over 5-6 months now.

Well so you get an idea of what you can do there: The plot we're currently looking at is in Ontario, Canada. Its 65 hectares (650'000m2) of land and costs only 16'000 USD and you can pay 7'000 and then 200 dollars per month until the whole 16k is paid!

It's not to far away from a pretty big town and as I said, outside in the open near a river and between 2 larger lakes.

This is a great place to experience canadian wildlife and beautiful landscapes so that's why i came here.

Would there be any people interested in join in on the project/help funding ? I'm not asking you to come along and live over there but it could be a great place if you would like to spend time each year out in the free (or a great getaway if the west turns to shit hehe). Well if you want more info on the project or just talk some about it I'll lurk the thread and could provide some sort of chat platform!

Thanks!

/out/ is probably completely fucking dead but I honestly don't know where else to ask this. You guys know your shit.

I was planning on getting myself pic related (Taipen takedown bow) as it is cheap but it also seems decent. I want to start doing bow hunting and general archery but I'm not sure what equipment to start off with. I don't want to spend two thousand dollars on a tactikool compound bow and there are very sexy looking recurves out there. I just want to know if any sc/out/s who have experience in archery and bows in general can recommend me some decent first time bows which won't leave me broke.

Also…

>What arrows to buy?

>What to look out for when hunting

>general rules and shit (I know the laws and I have land I'm legally allowed to hunt on. But any advice in general would be apreciated)

>What draw weight for babby's first bow? I have a lot of upper body strength and I know I'll only get stronger over time but I don't want to fuck up and buy something way too heavy to pull. (As if recurves are that heavy, but just a thought.)

General tips welcome too.

Recurve bows are great for starting out as they are generally lighter and easier to pull, and you may be able to use one to hunt small game (water fowl, rabbits, maybe even turkey). If you decide to hunt larger animals, you'd probably need to move up to a compound bow or something with a greater draw weight.

Standard hunting arrows are good for most situations, but just get practice arrows when you're first learning the bow. Check out guillotine arrows if you want to hunt large birds like turkey.

As far as rules go, I'm not too sure. I assume it would be the same as regular hunting (only during season, no killing females, etc.) but you may want to verify.

At least in Denmark rules for bow hunting are very strict, and you have to get sort of an extended hunting permit too.

Im considering moving to a rural, farming-friendly area.

My idea is to buy a container house, but im not sure how to properly handle this.

are C.H. able to get running water and electricity installed?

Are there any problems with such a house in such a place?

The only thing preventing you from getting utilities ran into a steel box is your own ability to run said utilities.

As long as you know basic plumbing/electrical nobody can tell you what you can do in that regard.

If you're planning on running pipes into your house though remember to make sure the ground your container's placed on is higher elevation than your septic tank if you plan on putting a shitter in there. For shower/sink drainage I shouldn't have to tell you this but… ROUT IT TO A FUCKING GARDEN.

So help me god faggot if you don't use that greywater to grow delicious cucumbers I'll fucking knife a kitten.

Another thing I'd recommend since you're living in a tiny metal box: Don't bother with on-grid electricity. Setting up a solar bank is easy AF and you probably won't be using that much electricity since your heating/lighting requirements will be minimal.

I only had $400 to set up my solar shit and I'm still living pretty comfy. It's enough to run my computer during the day and well into the night before I have to run my gen. (That being said my fridge is gas powered and I handwash my clothes so my power requirements are next to nothing.)

If you had like $2000 you could probably live with more electrical power than you'd ever need assuming you're not running heavy equipment or anything, And even then that's what generators are for.

Do you guys bring your pets with you when you go innawoods? I live in Maine where it snows a lot and I like taking my Malamute on hikes around the area. Pretty chill experience.

My dad has a Tree Walker Coonhound, but I've been her primary caretaker for the last year and a half, and she answers to my commands more than my dad's so she may as well be my dog. She's about seven years old now, but she never got a lot of run time under my dad's care. She stays on a separate property from where we live, and I let her out to run for about an hour or two every day. She's well trained, but she's always spooled up and ready to go, so I give her a little wiggle room depending on the day.

I've taken her with me on my last two trips kayaking on Lake Jocassee. I was worried she wouldn't handle herself on a kayak very well, but turned the forward cockpit into a kind of sling that she could hang in, and she absolutely loved it. Slept in her sling during the trip, ran along the banks and swam when we stepped off. She even managed to catch a squirrel on the first trip, which I skinned and let her eat because I was proud of her. Glad she didn't get sick from it.

She's a good dog.
