/out/ - Outdoors

So is this the proper board to bring up a discussion on hunting? I'm working on passing my bowhunter's education before eventually taking to the field to claim a few furbearing pests (such as coyotes as they're absolutely everywhere).

I recently obtained a few tools for working with animal hide and leather, hoping to eventually not only skin my kills but create a few nice pieces of clothing to honor them.

Plus, I'm doing some research on good jerky techniques.

But one thing that's been eating at the back of my mind for a few is performing a proper coup de grace on a dying animal. I want to make sure it passes into the next world as easy as possible. What type of knives work best for this? should I even go in for the finish or stay back and finish from afar?

It's killing me. I'm looking for bow woods, and I have this tree in my yard (wood's probably not suitable, very stiff, very strong, though. Using it to make a couple singlesticks for fencing.).

I'm including a picture of a cluster of leaves I took. The wood is pale, but turns yellowish as it dries. The bark is smooth, and if carefully done when first cut, can be peeled off whole.

I live in a paddock on a farm 16km from the closest town. Any advice, any questions?

Also no I didn't try eat the bloody carpet shark, was just fun to catch, the line cut a hole in my finger.

As recreation, a workout, or transport. Pic related, my beater Rossignol X-tour and 3-pin binding setup. Use it on rocky trails, and on snow-covered streets.

no need to splinter topics like this on 8chan anyway

Hey /out/, anybody know good places to find peridot/olivine in Maui?

Anyone else use, or totally in love with portable kayaks? I am a proud and happy owner of an Oru Kayak Bay. They are a bit pricey, but are perfect when you're short on room, are lighter than conventional kayaks, and a notch more elegant in my reckoning.

http://www.orukayak.com/

I thought folding kayaks were enough. Boy was I surprised when I learned about Pakayak! Its sections nest into each other.

http://pakayak.com/

It's heavier than my Bay, at 55 vs. 26 lbs, but its heavier body would make it a better choice for white water, a no-go for Oru kayaks. I don't need a 2nd kayak, but will be getting a $10 sticker in Pakayak's ongoing Kickstarter. Best to encourage healthy competition I figure.

Maybe in the future Oru Kayak and Pakayak will be the Coke and Pepsi of portable kayaks. Since I've seen images of both in San Francisco Bay, I'd love if the companies and fans could get together some day for playful competitions and outdoorsmen's fellowship.

I love taking my Oru Bay on the river. It's light enough to be carried through the woods from my house and back, and always draws attention. Anyone else partake in the wonderful world of portable kayaks, or are conventional kayaks your preference?

ITT: post your ax what pattern it is, what axes are the best.

My axe is an older unmarked Hudsons bay pattern with 29" white oak handle i carved out and hung my self. Felled about a dozen maples so far this summer.

So /out/ what ax do you use?

First time posting here! (So if I got the wrong board, please do correct me)

I have some sort of dream for my future self.

I want to live for a long period of time (4-6 years) in a private cabin built by myself, noting that it should hold at least 4 people (Wife and 3 kids, maybe 5) all the while being excluded enough in nature so that you can hunt and for my kids to grow up far from the destructive force that is mass media/technology.

I know far eastern Russia is a good candidate since it has vast secluded places, but I made this post to see your opinions on location and if it is actually possible to do.

(Obviously me and my wife would have extensive education and practice on guns, medicine, farming and hunting.)

Pic related, am in Ireland. Mostly developed farmland and backroads.

What kind of challenges can be done here?
