You said you haven't worn it like that ?
Go outside, wear it like that, and do anything minimal-exhausting atleast for a few minutes.
If youre sitting in a truck being driven somewhere, its fine. If you are actually doing something, there are lighter- less bulky- and less delicate alternatives
That's a different anon. I just wear if like scarf around the campfire or infront of my face during blizzards. Can't see a reason why I would wear it like pic rel. Under the sun I just wear a boonie hat

Then don't respond like you are the other post. >Can't see a reason why I would wear it like pic rel. Under the sun I just wear a boonie hat
You answered your own question, then
I always take my shemag with me when PrepHole. I wear it around my neck and even my face if its cold or windy, but also I use it to eat on, as a towel, as a sunshade, to lay or sit on, you can make a bindle out of it for example to keep your dirty clothes separate from your clean ones or to carry something around, it really is incredibly useful.
You realise the first post is the guy who posted before you, right? The guy talking about how he used the scarf to keep out bugs.
Only the third post is me. >"Then you went on to post a pic of an actual head net, which hadn’t come up anywhere in the thread."
See (again):
>thinking you are supposed to have it lay flat against your face, not suspended off a hat
What’s the antecedent of “it” in that sentence? What’s the thing I was talking about that you replied to? Hint: it wasn’t a head net (which hadn’t been mentioned in the entire thread).
the "it" is the bug net. You know, the picture I posted that you are confused about. >What’s the thing I was talking about that you replied to?
You don't learn. I won't repeat myself a third time, boy. >it wasn’t a head net (which hadn’t been mentioned in the entire thread). >except all the times we have already discussed it
>ticks crawl
Well yes they do, except there weren't ticks in the area where I used that trick. None in our platoon had any ticks. There the only issue was mosquitos.
Pic related shows where in Finland we have ticks. And for mosquitos this [...]

A false presumption- answering your own questions is a silly notion. In fact, I am donating one of my old packs today, and it has streaks of that teal color on it. A winter jacket and beanie from when I was a kid both have that teal on them, along with other neon colors. >Osprey is one of the few companies making real packs.

Not me, and the Wikipedia article shows the 5 color coordinate definitions that define teal.
But it’s a moot point. Everyone who’s gone out in the last decade or even just sat at home geargayging knows neon colored (or cyan) backpacks aren’t the norm.
>milsurp last a long time
We’ll never know because the people who own it don’t actually use it.
Isn’t it weird how the vast majority of pictures of people actually going out are using recreational gear while more than half of the bullshit chit chat about backpacks revolves around milsurp?
I have the XL. Its indestructible and should only be purchased if you carry a rifle and 50 lbs of gear and you need to carry carcasses back to camp. If you're a day hiker its a waste. It will outlast any pack on the market save for one that I'm aware of. PrepHole hates them because it is full of LARPers, C*lifornians, and poorgays. Its /k/ with less guns and even less experience. Its a true mountain man's pack and PrepHole is beta manlet central.
I think the people on PrepHole who actually go out are mostly hikers (being that hiking is one of the most accessible outdoor activities), and they know that such a ridiculous item wouldn’t work well for their use. The assumption is that it’s being used as a normal recreational hiking pack, but it doesn’t fit that role very well (especially considering the price tag). So anyone using it just as a hiking pack is definitely larping. The people who don’t go out (/k/omandos, /k/indergarteners, whatever) don’t know any better, and get excited about molle webbing and 1000d fabric.
Webbing and axe loops were standard when I bought my pack, and it's lasted longer than any overpriced overdesigned homosexual modern bag made of synthetic tissue paper ever will.

It sucks man the knife keeps the shoulder strap from offering any give.
I keep a knife on the back of my pack though. I figure if I'm doing something that require a knife I won't want my heavyass larp bag on anyways.
whats wrong with this? i keep my gerber like that, and have a mokra i my pocket. i also sleep with it incase and my 10mm glock incase of bears, and methheads
I carry an anal knife. Knife fits in my butt crack with the handle sticking out of my pants. I have a huge ass due to my grandma fricking giant Congo Black folk until she got preggers while in the Peace Corps (my Mom was the result and my dad is a Black person lover too) so I have a giant Black person butt I can hide things it. I usually keep an apple and my knife in my brown butt crack. I can also store things in my pant leg tied to my BBC which I can then reel up to get what I need.
Especially folders. Those things are worthless. You could have told me you don't really use your knife by telling me you carry a folder. You didn't need to tell me what steel it has.
I have used a folding knife for multiple out jobs, carpentry, cabling, you fricking name it really. You have never worked a day in your life if you're telling me a 10 dollar DeWalt folding knife doesn't do the job
Sorry mate. It was an antagonizing shitpost I put up. Pic is from a thread about some Anon who wanted tent advice. I was explaining the features I like in a tent.
I have an eddie bauer fleece longsleeve because it was on sale and I liked the pattern and I have an old nalgene that I got as a handmedown. the longsleeve is nice and warm
Every year you can get a Eddie Bauer down jacket with a hood from Costco for like 35 bucks if you catch it the right time of year. It’s kind of stupid to not have one at that price to be honest.
This one is a weird culmination of idiocy, consumerism, and a touch of larpiness. It’s only useful with food that’s light weight/calorie dense (things that only require boiling water), but the stove itself is well over a pound.

I admit it. I want a Toyota Hilux because I fell in love with them during army days. Nowadays I drive a station wagon though, and it is good 'nuff for my needs. Can fit a doggo, a lot of groceries/tools/luggage and I can fit a 4 headed family in there.
also, just having fun. you act like setting up a target on a downed tree and shooting a ruger 10/22 at it is larping cuz you're not killing squirrels or whatever, when camping is an extremely heavily commodified luxury hobby.
>jeans/cotton clothes
Polyhomosexual spotted, have fun deteriorating your sperm count, diminishing hat growth, and leaving behind non-decomposable fabric when a bear rips you to shreds, Black person.
Jeans have been the trusted workwear for over one hundred years, they’ll serve me just frickin fine on a damn camping trip where I’ve got all I need on my back, I don’t need those gay ass cargo pockets in order to walk around under the sky.

I don't wear a n neck knife, but how is a neck knife a larper? They been used for several hundred years, is usually paired with a larger knife to cover a wide range of tasks. Well known people who lived in the wild or teach that shit, people who spend WAY more time PrepHole than you ever do, they wear it.
the biggest larp items are any of the following: >backpacks >knives >tents >sleeping bags >food >anything for water purification >shoes >clothes >literally anything other than a machete and your wiener

some no-name gas station torch lighter I got has sat in a drawer for years, but when I push the button it lights up
dont know how with a brand like Zippo you cant just make a good seal. unreliable name brand >french F2
ye, it's a good time !
> black spots grow inside
I wash my canteens once every couple weeks with dish soap and a brush and I don't have black spots growing on my bottles even though I use them on daily basis at work. Sadly I forgot one canteen at work at one remote destination and now I have one less of them than what I used to. 🙁
Btw from aliexpress you can get rubber(?) caps that increase the period of how long the fuel stays in those zippos.
>rubber gaskets for zippo
My point was: for such a major lighter company, basically a century into it, you would think they'd have been putting those in by default to fix a major issue.
I need to invest in a good bottle brush..
and the mosquito net, I have one, it also cuts off glare to your face (ultra larp concealment bonus)
Yes I agree with your point. I was just telling that such things exist. And the mosquito net thing was more so about when you are sleeping, not walking around. I wash my canteens with a regular dish brush, you can fit the brush head trough the neck of the Finnish canteen.
I should invest in a mosquito net too.
>doesnt work well with my brush
weird, what kind of a brush do you have then? I have a normal dish washing brush made by Sini, the one with replaceable brush heads and I have managed to jam the brush in there for washing purposes. You need to use some force when you do it, but it should fit in.
Mosquitoes fly, ticks crawl. Not only have you never done this, but it wouldn’t serve any purpose.

works just fine, if you don't have anything better. on hand.
Supposing the LARPerchief is completely over you’re entire head so as to effectively keep out mosquitoes, it would be a condensation nightmare, with roughly 330ml/11oz of moisture exhaled into a non-breathable, confined space.

: "During my compulsory army service I improvised a bug net". (Of course I should have specified that I meant it for sleeping, not when walking around, my bad.) In such occasions you have to make do with what you have. We had a saying that more or less was: "Embrace the suck".
But when I go camping myself or with a friend, I bring my french army F2 milsurp tent and enjoy the bug free sleep.
Eventually I might need to invest in a better tent, but for now the milsurp tent has been more than good enough for my activities. (2kg for the tent + poles, 1kg for the stakes, which you can give to your pal to carry if you want to even out the load. Or just get ultralight ones.)
Show exactly how you’re using a piece of opaque cloth as a head net. You can’t, because you don’t. Mosquitoes would simply fly in by your eyes. You’ve outed yourself as a larper. Just move on.

You can't be helped.
Zippos are more a name brand now
if you use them to smoke, start fires, and more, you'll generally carry your zippo and have a refill canister near by
the REFILL CANISTERS are top notch, don't dry out and can be used reliable
it's the same tech as old fiber basket gas lamps, old, timeless, compatible with most types of fuel, and VERY INCONVENIENT compared to most modern options; but it HAS A TIMELESS QUALITY TO IT
you can fix, refill, and use that Zippo til your great, great grandkids die of radiation poisoning, your lithium headlamp, with its depowered, leaked out battery, not so much, your battery powered flashlight? it corroded from the one time someone forgot to throw out the bad batteries. the old, reliable cloth bag gas lamp? replace the cloth bags if they broke, add more fuel, light it and it runs.
oil lamp? replace the wick if needed, add oil, light it and it runs
zippo's are less a travel option, and more a cabin in the woods lighter solution(just remember than refill canister/wick)
Zippo’s are an actual LARP item. Why else would you even mention their “timeless quality”? It’s 100% form over function. What advantage do they have over a mini bic?
NONE, that's the point. They are NOT FOR THE AVERAGE, NORMAL, OR EXTREME outdoors-men
they are really ONLY for either LARPING, SHOWING OFF, or LONG-TERM STORAGE for distant bug off/ retirement locations
a bic, some matches, and a sparker of some sort takes up much less space and are more reliable for actual use
Zippo's, OIL LAMPS, OLD GASKET GAS LAMPS and similar stuff LOOKS GOOD, STORES WELL(never the fuel IN said things) but are already replaced with cheap flashlights, lighters, and such.
They ARE LARP, if you use them all the time, if you have them for storage at a other site you sometimes go to; they fill the capable of working after nuclear war/biowarefare/zombieapocalyse tier. Batteries will always fail long term storage, same for that cheap plastic cracking and breaking on a Bic.
You are absolutely right about them being LARP
You are wrong about them having NO Real Usage, they are the back of the closet, bottom of the drawer items you keep if everything else you have doesn't work, a backup you always have to prep, setup, and refill to USE, but it works.(And no waiting for a gov truck/helicopter to come give you some matches, lighters, lights, and food when the power goes out, the gas lines run dry, your bank account is disconnected, and your small stash of cash is used up buying food and water at ridiculous ripoff rates
>What advantage do they have over a mini bic?
A zippo isn't designed for delicate ladies' and children's hands. Frick mini bics, they're the least ergonomic lighters ever made.
Regular Zippos are trash, used to just pick up a BiC at the gas station when I needed a light. I heard the butane inserts are pretty reliable. Can't speak for the pic relate you are quoting though.
>here’s a list of things I don’t like
Now this is a larper. Anyone who doesn’t understand the advantages of trekking poles or the convenience of a handheld GPS hasn’t gone out very much.
if youre taking selfies, you're either a prostitute or a numale - which means you're not walking far enough or carrying sufficient weight to need poles. i also never said the word GPS. i use GPS navigation regularly, with real maps - not alltrails. take your meds
spending thousands of dollars on plastic chinese slave labor goods as a status symbol is the ultimate LARP, and a major personality red flag. i also doubt youre going to wear a blaze orange and blue jacket in public. please think before spending your money
a phone is an advertisement delivery and government spying platform - not a tool, a computer, or even a communication device. alltrails is bad. i know alltrails is bad, because it's an app that goes on your phone. use a phone if you want to waste CPU cycles sending personal info to the cia, mossad, kgb, chicoms, mcdonalds, nike, etc. use a phone if you want buggy software and corn flakes box treasure maps. use a phone if you want no control over what maps you have stored or whether they'll disappear because you loaded 1 tile too many by you deviating 1 pixel outside of your area while scrolling and your cache size can only be whatever the cow shit worshipping minimum wage moron who programmed it thinks it should be. if you're not a monkey, you'll use a ruggedized computer or a real GPS - period, without exception. you think phones are cool and cute? frick you, goyim. go listen to pop music and die

There’s nothing wrong with being a beginner, a casual, a LARPer, or a raging newbie like you.
“LARPing” on PrepHole is analogous to being a poser (which is a term that hasn’t been in vogue for decades). It’s putting on an image based on often times false preconceived notions. It’s looking the part rather than just being.
>This, rubber boots master race.
I'm in a pickle here. I'm debating a hike trough Kaldoaivi from Sevettijärvi to Utsjoki and I was considering getting taller boots. I have been to Kaldoaivi before and the "normal hiking boot" lenght just wouldn't cut it because of the harsh undergrowth.
I do own a pair of Nokian Koli kumpparit, but I didn't think they'd be good for such a long hike, because they don't really offer support and if it's really hot I have to stop and air out my feet like every hour.
What do you think?
Or should I just get gaiters?

LARP
definition built into the name
LIVE ACTION ROLE PLAY
Live, go there, be seen, take pictures, make mistakes
Action, DO something, film it, screen it, upload it
Role, what is the supposed role you are playing, what is the supposed reason to do so, make it look like you NEED to do this
Play, its for play, for shits and giggles, to become internet famous and get algorithmically rich and show off
You are thinking of a very specific, racist(half of them at least) Southern War Reenactment jack off events. Where the South WINS, the North Loses, and so and so looks good instead of dead, decapitated, with their balls blown off, their freed slaves dancing on their graves because they killed and rapped their brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers.
Basically, besides the trolls, everyone on PrepHole is tired of all the rubber-neckers coming in for a chuckle and looking for a nice snippet to post on another site for clout and fun. Larpers generally post something that doesn't have real world function/usage to grab attention and go from there. Like all those game ads with obvious numbers above (YOU) and the enemies and not using the powerups/weapons/armor/etc to defeat the enemies. In the hopes of your anger/need to see if people are actually that deficient there, and other reasons.
>thinking /k/ and PrepHole have any crossover at all
There is no crossover (outside of hunting, obviously), and any /k/ gays who think there is are larpers.
The only role of weapons in the outdoors is hunting, and maybe self defense if you’re in a shithole or totally paranoid. Anything else is just a massive GI Joe LARP.
I bring a rifle because i don't want to get mogged by bears/wolves/moose/panthers when I camp
i think you're just a massive pussified basedboy who cant imagine going off-trail or a camping ground
>newbie >”panthers”
There are no panthers in North America. Panther as a colloquial term is used in Florida, where there are no moose or wolves (and probably no beats but I’m not sure). You’ve probably never seen any of these things, and it’s guaranteed that you’ve never had to shoot one. Your fear is unfounded and irrational. Are you a woman?
There are no Panthers anywhere because panther isn't a species. It's just a generic for any big cat. Specifically a melanistic one. But people have been calling pumas "lions" "Panthers" and tons of other things for generations. You know what he's talking about, and colloquially, it's correct.

I don't think LARPers would be half so annoying if they didn't take themselves so seriously. I am not into pretending that I am a guerilla, cowboy or whatever, though I can see the appeal, but somehow it so often seems to go hand in hand with some kind of feisty insecure machismo strutting type behaviour and fragile ego. If you want to take a machete and camo out and about with you then just do it quietly without trying to evangelise about how you need these things for the extreme survival/escape and evasion situations you are likely to encounter while randomly strolling about in the woods, nobody cares and you just come off like a dick.
That knife is actually a really nice little knife. I agree that the concept of a "neck knife" is stupid as hell. I want to like the Edlris but there is no way to carry it unless you hang it from your neck like a moron, other than "loose in a bag or pocket".
Basically anyone who posts on /k/ then wanders over here is a larper. There’s not much overlap between the two. They like to think there is, but there isn’t.

clean, unused gear is the true sign of a LARPer. it doesnt matter what gear you use if you make it work for you, but if it's still in brand new condition then you're a LARPer
uhh actually its the opposite of this?? if your clothes are worn or dirty that's a pretty big larp there fella! people who repair their clothes are the biggest larpers of all
It is. Remember, the worst losers in the world want to drag you down to their level. Have more skills and capabilities is never going to be a weak point.
Going PrepHole for any other reason than forced survival, work, war or the downfall of modern civilisation is LARP.
If you go PrepHole for any voluntary reason means you are doing it for recreational purposes, which means you are literally roleplaying.
In short: We're all larpers here, trying to call someone a larper because they don't use your personal favourite brand of backpack or because they put their knife on their shoulder instead of their ass like you is a pretty distilled form of projection.
This is a very weak take and you spent too much time typing it out. In short; everything you do is either to improve your life in long-term or improve pleasure. Nothing is larp
> Nothing is larp
Same take, and yes. Either it's all larp, or nothing is.
Everything else is just being insecure because deep down you believe that going outside to play with your new toys is for children which grows inside you the need to portray yourself as different than those other children because unlike you are using the cool toys while doing it.

However seriously the leaders take the uniform, that's how seriously the scouts take it. I don't care if the boys wear the official pants, and I know damn well half of them come from families that can't afford them. But I'm there to set an example, and that means doing my best.
is why I said they should dress professionally. I get the desire for comfort. Trust me, I do. But as the scout leader, it isn't about you. You're just a reference point for the young, impressionable scouts. If you look nice every time they see you, they notice that, and you become a good influence in their lives. We do it for them, not for ourselves.
Like wearing the uniform, like a good leader should do. When I was in a conservation corps years ago, the supervisors got to wear comfy pants while we had to wear shitty basic dickies to do manual labor. Lead by example is historically good for a reason.
No one wears these.
I knew a guy in fire camp that did, but he is a 'the guy that would wear these' sort- same color, too. so, no one social wears one, aye.
Why is it larp? It's a cheap ass scarf I carry as a backup if it gets really cold or windy. I never wear it like picrel tho

Go outside, wear it like that, and do anything minimal-exhausting atleast for a few minutes.
If youre sitting in a truck being driven somewhere, its fine. If you are actually doing something, there are lighter- less bulky- and less delicate alternatives
That's a different anon. I just wear if like scarf around the campfire or infront of my face during blizzards. Can't see a reason why I would wear it like pic rel. Under the sun I just wear a boonie hat
>That's a different anon.
Then don't respond like you are the other post.
>Can't see a reason why I would wear it like pic rel. Under the sun I just wear a boonie hat
You answered your own question, then
I wear them when I have to clear my driveway with a snowblower and the wind is kicking around, they work great.
I always take my shemag with me when PrepHole. I wear it around my neck and even my face if its cold or windy, but also I use it to eat on, as a towel, as a sunshade, to lay or sit on, you can make a bindle out of it for example to keep your dirty clothes separate from your clean ones or to carry something around, it really is incredibly useful.
>taking extra clothing
These are lightweight and multipurpose. Ive used keffiyahs as a bug net, to carry sticks, to shield my face, etc.
>bug net
Bugs can bite through them, LARPer.
>I’ve used luggage as a bug net
>bugs can bite through them LARPer
>thinking it’s supposed to lie flat against your face
>show how you’re using a piece of opaque cloth…
Then you went on to post a pic of an actual head net, which hadn’t come up anywhere in the thread.
You realise the first post is the guy who posted before you, right? The guy talking about how he used the scarf to keep out bugs.
Only the third post is me.
>"Then you went on to post a pic of an actual head net, which hadn’t come up anywhere in the thread."
See (again):
>"mosquito net, I have one"
Are you okay? You don't genuinely think this way, right ?
>thinking you are supposed to have it lay flat against your face, not suspended off a hat
What’s the antecedent of “it” in that sentence? What’s the thing I was talking about that you replied to? Hint: it wasn’t a head net (which hadn’t been mentioned in the entire thread).
the "it" is the bug net. You know, the picture I posted that you are confused about.
>What’s the thing I was talking about that you replied to?
You don't learn. I won't repeat myself a third time, boy.

People like to do that on PrepHole I've found
Posting anything on PrepHole. I'm guilty of larping that anything posted here is worth my time, but I'm learning.

I like webbing. I have different pouches and bags. I can throw whatever pouch on whatever bag and be good to go.

Yeah except you never go.
Outdoors is divided by 2 groups

>his pack isn't fluorescent yellow

Larper detected. Toned down colors have been the norm among recreational packs for well over a decade, so where are you getting the neon meme from?

teal is a neon color
>teal is a neon color
Is there an Osprey in the room with us now?
thats a nice shade of green, they like it in south korea- their electrical tape is usually that color. they wore it on the outfits in squid game too !!
>something about ospery
Depends on you, doesnt it
anyway, here is teal
seems a bit bright, as to be expected from a neon color
Osprey is one of the few companies making real packs. Teal, the color I posted, is a cyan-green. The color you posted is cyan. Who makes packs in that color? I’ve never seen one, and you certainly haven’t either. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teal
>Who makes packs in that color? I’ve never seen one, and you certainly haven’t either.
A false presumption- answering your own questions is a silly notion. In fact, I am donating one of my old packs today, and it has streaks of that teal color on it. A winter jacket and beanie from when I was a kid both have that teal on them, along with other neon colors.
>Osprey is one of the few companies making real packs.
What is this fan boy statement? Are the other packs I see holograms? NFTs? Thin-material prototypes before they get the monopoly seal of approval ?
Please respond with a stronger argument, and less presumptions.
It was a typo you moron. “Teal,” not “real.” And you still don’t know what teal looks like, and that’s pretty sad.
>you should obviously spot typos even if they make sense in the sentence
>moron
>and other non-responses
yeah
that’s cyan mongoloid
>comes back later to repost the same thing
Soory, kid. That's teal, still.
i can’t be wrong. you’re samegayging!!!1!
fricking pathetic
Not me, and the Wikipedia article shows the 5 color coordinate definitions that define teal.
But it’s a moot point. Everyone who’s gone out in the last decade or even just sat at home geargayging knows neon colored (or cyan) backpacks aren’t the norm.
I don’t NOT carry a weapon in a city.

That's a larp.
Really any pack with a Velcro patch.
Imagine being butthurt about ease of changablity and adding on extra stuff. My milsurp molle bag will outlast any $300+ bag you have gay.
>milsurp last a long time
We’ll never know because the people who own it don’t actually use it.
Isn’t it weird how the vast majority of pictures of people actually going out are using recreational gear while more than half of the bullshit chit chat about backpacks revolves around milsurp?
These are from that Finnish website right? Are they really that bad?
from what I see here, alot of people love to discuss them- they must be good enough for that
a bit pricy for me tho
other than the large orange square, it looks fine
>other than the large orange square, it looks fine
the virgin dull earth-tone dresser vs. the chad peawienerer
I have the XL. Its indestructible and should only be purchased if you carry a rifle and 50 lbs of gear and you need to carry carcasses back to camp. If you're a day hiker its a waste. It will outlast any pack on the market save for one that I'm aware of. PrepHole hates them because it is full of LARPers, C*lifornians, and poorgays. Its /k/ with less guns and even less experience. Its a true mountain man's pack and PrepHole is beta manlet central.
I think the people on PrepHole who actually go out are mostly hikers (being that hiking is one of the most accessible outdoor activities), and they know that such a ridiculous item wouldn’t work well for their use. The assumption is that it’s being used as a normal recreational hiking pack, but it doesn’t fit that role very well (especially considering the price tag). So anyone using it just as a hiking pack is definitely larping. The people who don’t go out (/k/omandos, /k/indergarteners, whatever) don’t know any better, and get excited about molle webbing and 1000d fabric.
>save for one that I'm aware of
Savotta LJK/906?
Webbing and axe loops were standard when I bought my pack, and it's lasted longer than any overpriced overdesigned homosexual modern bag made of synthetic tissue paper ever will.
A packs useful life is measured in miles, not how many years you kept it stuffed in a closet.

Worse than a neck knife
Always wanted a knife I can carry like that but it's too expensive and could be annoying when you want to take of the backpack.
It sucks man the knife keeps the shoulder strap from offering any give.
I keep a knife on the back of my pack though. I figure if I'm doing something that require a knife I won't want my heavyass larp bag on anyways.
Anyways, larping is fun.
I have my mora on my belt or in hands reach just in case.

whats wrong with this? i keep my gerber like that, and have a mokra i my pocket. i also sleep with it incase and my 10mm glock incase of bears, and methheads
Best way to carry a knife when you have a pack. Digs into you if you have it on your belt, where the frick else are you supposed to keep it?
>needing a knife while still wearing his pack
Yeah ok
dangler sheath like the scandis. Or if it has a clip, clip it to a strap on the hip belt, shoulder strap or chest strap.
I keep mine on a sheath sewn into the side of one of the watterbottle pouches on the side of the pack
I carry an anal knife. Knife fits in my butt crack with the handle sticking out of my pants. I have a huge ass due to my grandma fricking giant Congo Black folk until she got preggers while in the Peace Corps (my Mom was the result and my dad is a Black person lover too) so I have a giant Black person butt I can hide things it. I usually keep an apple and my knife in my brown butt crack. I can also store things in my pant leg tied to my BBC which I can then reel up to get what I need.

If they start talking about what kind of blade steel their knife is.
Especially folders. Those things are worthless. You could have told me you don't really use your knife by telling me you carry a folder. You didn't need to tell me what steel it has.
I have used a folding knife for multiple out jobs, carpentry, cabling, you fricking name it really. You have never worked a day in your life if you're telling me a 10 dollar DeWalt folding knife doesn't do the job

I think I am too new to understand what's being expressed here (unless you're just talking about the tent itself).

Black person you don't go outside either. Post and shut up.
Why is this larp?
because there's no camo. it's important to pretend you're in the military.
They post on PrepHole.
I have a neck knife so i dont lose it. I lost over 5 knifes before i found out about neck knives. Its good for cutting finger thick ropes.
Just buy a knife with a kydex sheath and get a teklok for it. I usually carry a neck sized knife on a Teklok.
Why would i buy another knife if this works pretty well already

Easy. There are two people on the this planet earth, one who knows how to shit in the woods and the one that doesn't know how to shit in the woods.
Whenever I see a Eddie Bauer down hoodie or Nalgene bottle.
I have an eddie bauer fleece longsleeve because it was on sale and I liked the pattern and I have an old nalgene that I got as a handmedown. the longsleeve is nice and warm
frick forgot I had a name on from /tg/
I AM A gay LARPER
Every year you can get a Eddie Bauer down jacket with a hood from Costco for like 35 bucks if you catch it the right time of year. It’s kind of stupid to not have one at that price to be honest.
In auatralia we call these swags and everyone uses one.
This one is a weird culmination of idiocy, consumerism, and a touch of larpiness. It’s only useful with food that’s light weight/calorie dense (things that only require boiling water), but the stove itself is well over a pound.
Forgot the pic. I’ll go play in traffic now.
What if you're hiking somewhere that doesn't allow fires?
Literally any isobutane stove.

Oh no!! How dare someone have an off-roady vehicle but also use easily accessible trail heads! They must have another car for those!!!
Implying vehicle choose isnt posturing and its "offroadyness" will be required for a non-larpular activity
99% of car or truck purchases are based on emotions.
I admit it. I want a Toyota Hilux because I fell in love with them during army days. Nowadays I drive a station wagon though, and it is good 'nuff for my needs. Can fit a doggo, a lot of groceries/tools/luggage and I can fit a 4 headed family in there.
A good list

nah i love bringing a couple sweet potatoes pre-wrapped in foil. just throw it on some embers for an hour and you're comfy.
also, just having fun. you act like setting up a target on a downed tree and shooting a ruger 10/22 at it is larping cuz you're not killing squirrels or whatever, when camping is an extremely heavily commodified luxury hobby.
Sporks aren’t a LARP, just a very popular, bad choice due to heavy marketing.
>jeans/cotton clothes
Polyhomosexual spotted, have fun deteriorating your sperm count, diminishing hat growth, and leaving behind non-decomposable fabric when a bear rips you to shreds, Black person.
Jeans have been the trusted workwear for over one hundred years, they’ll serve me just frickin fine on a damn camping trip where I’ve got all I need on my back, I don’t need those gay ass cargo pockets in order to walk around under the sky.

>french F2
ye, it's a good time !
> black spots grow inside
I wash my canteens once every couple weeks with dish soap and a brush and I don't have black spots growing on my bottles even though I use them on daily basis at work. Sadly I forgot one canteen at work at one remote destination and now I have one less of them than what I used to. 🙁
Btw from aliexpress you can get rubber(?) caps that increase the period of how long the fuel stays in those zippos.
Yes yes, I was attempting on making a joke.
Well yes, but if you set the shemagh in a manner that it stays away from your face, then the mosquitos etc can't reach your face in order to bite you.
>rubber gaskets for zippo
My point was: for such a major lighter company, basically a century into it, you would think they'd have been putting those in by default to fix a major issue.
I need to invest in a good bottle brush..
and the mosquito net, I have one, it also cuts off glare to your face (ultra larp concealment bonus)
>thinking you are supposed to have it lay flat against your face, not suspended off a hat
Yes I agree with your point. I was just telling that such things exist. And the mosquito net thing was more so about when you are sleeping, not walking around. I wash my canteens with a regular dish brush, you can fit the brush head trough the neck of the Finnish canteen.
I should invest in a mosquito net too.
I tried using my dish brush, but the more right-angle nature of the finnish canteen doesnt work well with my brush..
>doesnt work well with my brush
weird, what kind of a brush do you have then? I have a normal dish washing brush made by Sini, the one with replaceable brush heads and I have managed to jam the brush in there for washing purposes. You need to use some force when you do it, but it should fit in.
Here is to clarify what I meant by using the shemagh as a bug net while sleeping
Mosquitoes fly, ticks crawl. Not only have you never done this, but it wouldn’t serve any purpose.
Like I said, these are only used by larpers. Your post only strengthens that position.
>ticks crawl
Well yes they do, except there weren't ticks in the area where I used that trick. None in our platoon had any ticks. There the only issue was mosquitos.
Pic related shows where in Finland we have ticks. And for mosquitos this
works just fine, if you don't have anything better. on hand.
Supposing the LARPerchief is completely over you’re entire head so as to effectively keep out mosquitoes, it would be a condensation nightmare, with roughly 330ml/11oz of moisture exhaled into a non-breathable, confined space.
But yeah, it might keep out bugs.
Well, when the options are either to endure condensation or have mosquitos eat every part of your face beyond recognizion, I know what I am choosing.
Yeah you’re choosing to bring a real shelter with a bug net next time and never say that your canal jokey turban thing can be used as such because it doesn’t work worth a shit.
I used that when I was in army and we didn't have a possibility of bringing any better shelters available. Read
: "During my compulsory army service I improvised a bug net". (Of course I should have specified that I meant it for sleeping, not when walking around, my bad.) In such occasions you have to make do with what you have. We had a saying that more or less was: "Embrace the suck".
But when I go camping myself or with a friend, I bring my french army F2 milsurp tent and enjoy the bug free sleep.
Eventually I might need to invest in a better tent, but for now the milsurp tent has been more than good enough for my activities. (2kg for the tent + poles, 1kg for the stakes, which you can give to your pal to carry if you want to even out the load. Or just get ultralight ones.)
Show exactly how you’re using a piece of opaque cloth as a head net. You can’t, because you don’t. Mosquitoes would simply fly in by your eyes. You’ve outed yourself as a larper. Just move on.
You can stop replying at this point
We’re talking about shemaghs, not actual head nets. Try to keep up.
>Try to keep up.
Find where I said shemagh. Go on. I said bug net.
>and the mosquito net, I have one, it also cuts off glare to your face (ultra larp concealment bonus)
>thinking you are supposed to have it lay flat against your face, not suspended off a hat
You said post it, I did. Try to keep up.
>Ive used keffiyahs as a bug net
To which I said
>Bugs can bite through them, LARPer.
Then you said
>hurr durr it’s not supposed to lay flat on your face
We can all scroll up. Vhxdh
>if I change the quotes, I might end up looking correct
Not what I said. I never said, or implied, that. I explicitly stated bug net. In fact, earlier I said the shemagh was not a good piece of headwear for physical work. See:
You aren't a very good reader, or talker. A wise man would be quiet in your shoes. You've already proven yourself wrong, be humble.
Black person we can just click on the hashtags and see the chain. You either said your Arab LARP wear can be used as a bug net or you defended the statement. GTFO with your bullshit.
>"we can READ the previous posts"
>continues to falsely quote previous posts
>continues to get posters confused
I explicitly stated why this was wrong, both parts:
>You either said your Arab LARP wear can be used as a bug net or you defended the statement.
You can't be helped.
Zippos are more a name brand now
if you use them to smoke, start fires, and more, you'll generally carry your zippo and have a refill canister near by
the REFILL CANISTERS are top notch, don't dry out and can be used reliable
it's the same tech as old fiber basket gas lamps, old, timeless, compatible with most types of fuel, and VERY INCONVENIENT compared to most modern options; but it HAS A TIMELESS QUALITY TO IT
you can fix, refill, and use that Zippo til your great, great grandkids die of radiation poisoning, your lithium headlamp, with its depowered, leaked out battery, not so much, your battery powered flashlight? it corroded from the one time someone forgot to throw out the bad batteries. the old, reliable cloth bag gas lamp? replace the cloth bags if they broke, add more fuel, light it and it runs.
oil lamp? replace the wick if needed, add oil, light it and it runs
zippo's are less a travel option, and more a cabin in the woods lighter solution(just remember than refill canister/wick)
Zippo’s are an actual LARP item. Why else would you even mention their “timeless quality”? It’s 100% form over function. What advantage do they have over a mini bic?
NONE, that's the point. They are NOT FOR THE AVERAGE, NORMAL, OR EXTREME outdoors-men
they are really ONLY for either LARPING, SHOWING OFF, or LONG-TERM STORAGE for distant bug off/ retirement locations
a bic, some matches, and a sparker of some sort takes up much less space and are more reliable for actual use
Zippo's, OIL LAMPS, OLD GASKET GAS LAMPS and similar stuff LOOKS GOOD, STORES WELL(never the fuel IN said things) but are already replaced with cheap flashlights, lighters, and such.
They ARE LARP, if you use them all the time, if you have them for storage at a other site you sometimes go to; they fill the capable of working after nuclear war/biowarefare/zombieapocalyse tier. Batteries will always fail long term storage, same for that cheap plastic cracking and breaking on a Bic.
You are absolutely right about them being LARP
You are wrong about them having NO Real Usage, they are the back of the closet, bottom of the drawer items you keep if everything else you have doesn't work, a backup you always have to prep, setup, and refill to USE, but it works.(And no waiting for a gov truck/helicopter to come give you some matches, lighters, lights, and food when the power goes out, the gas lines run dry, your bank account is disconnected, and your small stash of cash is used up buying food and water at ridiculous ripoff rates
>long term storage
I’ve been using the same mini Bics for 8 years
>What advantage do they have over a mini bic?
A zippo isn't designed for delicate ladies' and children's hands. Frick mini bics, they're the least ergonomic lighters ever made.
Multiple diy fuel source and wick options is the only advantage, where you cant refill a bic diy style.
these are fine, but only if theyre mcraes or original USGI ones
No.
have you used them, or is this some kind of prejudice based on advertising you saw?
>naked
Bro just bring one set of clothes for wearing and one set for sleeping.
Regular Zippos are trash, used to just pick up a BiC at the gas station when I needed a light. I heard the butane inserts are pretty reliable. Can't speak for the pic relate you are quoting though.
trekking poles, arcteryx, patagonia, goretex hiking shoes, alltrails, using phone for navigation, taking selfies, lifestraws
>here’s a list of things I don’t like
Now this is a larper. Anyone who doesn’t understand the advantages of trekking poles or the convenience of a handheld GPS hasn’t gone out very much.
if youre taking selfies, you're either a prostitute or a numale - which means you're not walking far enough or carrying sufficient weight to need poles. i also never said the word GPS. i use GPS navigation regularly, with real maps - not alltrails. take your meds
spending thousands of dollars on plastic chinese slave labor goods as a status symbol is the ultimate LARP, and a major personality red flag. i also doubt youre going to wear a blaze orange and blue jacket in public. please think before spending your money

a phone is an advertisement delivery and government spying platform - not a tool, a computer, or even a communication device. alltrails is bad. i know alltrails is bad, because it's an app that goes on your phone. use a phone if you want to waste CPU cycles sending personal info to the cia, mossad, kgb, chicoms, mcdonalds, nike, etc. use a phone if you want buggy software and corn flakes box treasure maps. use a phone if you want no control over what maps you have stored or whether they'll disappear because you loaded 1 tile too many by you deviating 1 pixel outside of your area while scrolling and your cache size can only be whatever the cow shit worshipping minimum wage moron who programmed it thinks it should be. if you're not a monkey, you'll use a ruggedized computer or a real GPS - period, without exception. you think phones are cool and cute? frick you, goyim. go listen to pop music and die
Now THIS is some top shelf larp.
play candy crush, buy candy crush upgrades, play fidget games, die in flames
>I’M NOT MAD!!!!
i hope you get lost and break your legs using alltrails on one of your 5km walks, and get raped by Black folk and cant call 9/11 because android spyware drained your battery
hilarious
Fattie
lol these things are the opposite of larping
What does this even mean?
Are we supposed to hate on beginners and casuals or what the heck is the point?
Isn't lapring some historical war stuff?
There’s nothing wrong with being a beginner, a casual, a LARPer, or a raging newbie like you.
“LARPing” on PrepHole is analogous to being a poser (which is a term that hasn’t been in vogue for decades). It’s putting on an image based on often times false preconceived notions. It’s looking the part rather than just being.
ah, so it's this moronic wolf crying and finger pointing that's gotten more common recently, gotcha
>This, rubber boots master race.
I'm in a pickle here. I'm debating a hike trough Kaldoaivi from Sevettijärvi to Utsjoki and I was considering getting taller boots. I have been to Kaldoaivi before and the "normal hiking boot" lenght just wouldn't cut it because of the harsh undergrowth.
I do own a pair of Nokian Koli kumpparit, but I didn't think they'd be good for such a long hike, because they don't really offer support and if it's really hot I have to stop and air out my feet like every hour.
What do you think?
Or should I just get gaiters?
baton wood, algorithm LOVE it, it should ONLY be done if you are in an actual survival situation where you need to start a fire, have no hatchet, wedge, saw, and a SOLID Knife without ANY PLASTIC
with the understanding that you are destroying a tool to survive
LARP
definition built into the name
LIVE ACTION ROLE PLAY
Live, go there, be seen, take pictures, make mistakes
Action, DO something, film it, screen it, upload it
Role, what is the supposed role you are playing, what is the supposed reason to do so, make it look like you NEED to do this
Play, its for play, for shits and giggles, to become internet famous and get algorithmically rich and show off
You are thinking of a very specific, racist(half of them at least) Southern War Reenactment jack off events. Where the South WINS, the North Loses, and so and so looks good instead of dead, decapitated, with their balls blown off, their freed slaves dancing on their graves because they killed and rapped their brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers.
Basically, besides the trolls, everyone on PrepHole is tired of all the rubber-neckers coming in for a chuckle and looking for a nice snippet to post on another site for clout and fun. Larpers generally post something that doesn't have real world function/usage to grab attention and go from there. Like all those game ads with obvious numbers above (YOU) and the enemies and not using the powerups/weapons/armor/etc to defeat the enemies. In the hopes of your anger/need to see if people are actually that deficient there, and other reasons.
anything more than matches and a lighter to start fires
Sometimes it’s just for fun but when people try to justify it for other reasons they’re definitely treading into LARP territory.
>thinking /k/ and PrepHole have any crossover at all
There is no crossover (outside of hunting, obviously), and any /k/ gays who think there is are larpers.
Nice job ousting yourself as a newbie neverlurker.
>There is no crossover
/k/ and PrepHole are brother boards
always has been always will be
The only role of weapons in the outdoors is hunting, and maybe self defense if you’re in a shithole or totally paranoid. Anything else is just a massive GI Joe LARP.
I bring a rifle because i don't want to get mogged by bears/wolves/moose/panthers when I camp
i think you're just a massive pussified basedboy who cant imagine going off-trail or a camping ground
also yeah its fun i just like the plink as well:) you should try it sometime anon
>newbie
>”panthers”
There are no panthers in North America. Panther as a colloquial term is used in Florida, where there are no moose or wolves (and probably no beats but I’m not sure). You’ve probably never seen any of these things, and it’s guaranteed that you’ve never had to shoot one. Your fear is unfounded and irrational. Are you a woman?
There are no Panthers anywhere because panther isn't a species. It's just a generic for any big cat. Specifically a melanistic one. But people have been calling pumas "lions" "Panthers" and tons of other things for generations. You know what he's talking about, and colloquially, it's correct.
Nit picking specifics of vernacular where you're wrong to try and gain some imaginary argumentative advantage, are you a woman?
>There are no panthers anywhere because it’s not a species
>It's just a generic for any big cat.
So they do exist, and you know specifically what he’s talking about
>Specifically a melanistic one.
Which doesn’t exist in the US.
The only place they call mountain lions “panthers” is in Florida, or if you’re just a moron. Either way your a coward if you carry a gun because you’re scared of a nonexistent threat. Nothing changes that.
There are definitely big ass cats in the southern Appalachians.
panther is a blanket term for most big cats in America fren 🙂 you don't need to be this way because ur ass blasted about someone bringing a rifle
Never go full moron.
Animal encounters are more common on trails then off trails.
I thought PrepHole was /k/'s kid?
same same
I don't think LARPers would be half so annoying if they didn't take themselves so seriously. I am not into pretending that I am a guerilla, cowboy or whatever, though I can see the appeal, but somehow it so often seems to go hand in hand with some kind of feisty insecure machismo strutting type behaviour and fragile ego. If you want to take a machete and camo out and about with you then just do it quietly without trying to evangelise about how you need these things for the extreme survival/escape and evasion situations you are likely to encounter while randomly strolling about in the woods, nobody cares and you just come off like a dick.
This and “dried beans”.
That knife is actually a really nice little knife. I agree that the concept of a "neck knife" is stupid as hell. I want to like the Edlris but there is no way to carry it unless you hang it from your neck like a moron, other than "loose in a bag or pocket".
Seems like it would be pretty easy to tie two pieces of string to that sheath and run your belt through the loops you’ve created.
Basically anyone who posts on /k/ then wanders over here is a larper. There’s not much overlap between the two. They like to think there is, but there isn’t.
>If you have multiple hobbies you're a larper
The term "larp" has been so overused that it literally just means "person i dislike in some way"
*"larper"
excuse the typo, just got off work
Dead giveaway someone is a larper
Make a thread about larpers
This you buddy ?
>builds a literal sex slave for personal enjoyment
>has groupies, murders their boyfriends
>fricks your virgin fiancé
>she loves it so much it turns her into a bawd
>fricks you
>you love it so much you question your sexuality
I wish I was that based.
Allright cringeboy
Oh dear. Did I trigger you?
clean, unused gear is the true sign of a LARPer. it doesnt matter what gear you use if you make it work for you, but if it's still in brand new condition then you're a LARPer
uhh actually its the opposite of this?? if your clothes are worn or dirty that's a pretty big larp there fella! people who repair their clothes are the biggest larpers of all
Holy larp fantasy post. If you don't repair your gear then you're just spare parts lil bud.
repairing gear is for poor people and poor people are larpers. rich people can afford arcteryx, ok? i use that shit once and throw it away
i keep hearing that sewing is for homosexuals but i consider it pretty basic skill for a man to have like repairing things in general
It is. Remember, the worst losers in the world want to drag you down to their level. Have more skills and capabilities is never going to be a weak point.
What about googled images rather than OC?
Going PrepHole for any other reason than forced survival, work, war or the downfall of modern civilisation is LARP.
If you go PrepHole for any voluntary reason means you are doing it for recreational purposes, which means you are literally roleplaying.
In short: We're all larpers here, trying to call someone a larper because they don't use your personal favourite brand of backpack or because they put their knife on their shoulder instead of their ass like you is a pretty distilled form of projection.
This is a very weak take and you spent too much time typing it out. In short; everything you do is either to improve your life in long-term or improve pleasure. Nothing is larp
> Nothing is larp
Same take, and yes. Either it's all larp, or nothing is.
Everything else is just being insecure because deep down you believe that going outside to play with your new toys is for children which grows inside you the need to portray yourself as different than those other children because unlike you are using the cool toys while doing it.
>using a trowel to garden vegetables is playing like a child
You sound like a huge larper, anon
two different people, troll
I think the true larp is using phrases you never used years ago because you saw it on a forum
if you think about it, we're all larpers because we speak a language we leanred from other people. real people communicate with grunts and howls
>black and white thinker
Very good. Bye.
ook ook AAAAA
>ook ook AAAAA
ok clearly just a black 'thinker'
>anything people do for recreational purposes is just them pretending
The word “schizophrenic” gets tossed around a lot but you should really find some help, Anon.
paracord
Most of the time, yeah. It’s not great, just cheap. It’s terrible at a lot of stuff.
wh..why? For what purpose?
They think people who buy it use it for rigging and rock climbing. I use what I got for discount to hold young plants to sticks, or string up noise-making alarms around camp.
idk, I always use it to tie stuff down with, plus I can tie it to trees to air out my clothes.
Good Torx bits are necessary if you own a car. Fricking torx i hate those strippy lil homies so much
>Fricking torx i hate those strippy lil homies so much
moron spotted
>torx stripping
I think I found the problem and it’s not torx.
This.
Has a bandana, and hand sanitizer hanging on their pack strap.
bandana can go either way, just having one isn't a sign
hand sanitizer is a nice way to clean before eating and doubles as a check for any cuts
unless you want people to wear lotion-filled gloves like yourself
I look borderline homeless when I go hiking
am I a larper
Larping at being homeless. gay.
everything is larp if youre not being yourself
frick off those are awesome.
>hiking in pants
>get hot
What do?
My BSA uniform pants have these zip off legs. I like them so much that I'm looking for another pair or two.
are you 12?
No, I'm an adult volunteer in my son's pack.
Oh god. Even worse. And you're wearing "uniform pants"? You're an adult, you can wear whatever you want.
Why would I have a problem with wearing the uniform?
I don't know, I guess I'm just used to the leaders and dads wearing the proper shirt, and then just jeans or some other casual pants.
However seriously the leaders take the uniform, that's how seriously the scouts take it. I don't care if the boys wear the official pants, and I know damn well half of them come from families that can't afford them. But I'm there to set an example, and that means doing my best.
That's a very dad thing to say and I respect it.
Keep up the good work anon
Positively regenerate.
Scout leaders should dress professionally.
This
is why I said they should dress professionally. I get the desire for comfort. Trust me, I do. But as the scout leader, it isn't about you. You're just a reference point for the young, impressionable scouts. If you look nice every time they see you, they notice that, and you become a good influence in their lives. We do it for them, not for ourselves.
Like wearing the uniform, like a good leader should do. When I was in a conservation corps years ago, the supervisors got to wear comfy pants while we had to wear shitty basic dickies to do manual labor. Lead by example is historically good for a reason.
a good point
Holy shit, this homosexual got told.
I'm glad you typed this. It would have been hard to understand you try to talk around that dick in your mouth.
Uniforms are kino, and I'm pretty hippie.
