Camping equipment: clothing, shoes, backpacks, etc.

But the machete is necessary in the campaign unit or useless?

My friends shouldn't be laughing. The thing in the tropics is very useful. Our Peruvian friends never went without a machete at all. Possible applications - screen installation, territory clearing, butchering game, cleaning coconuts, pineapples, etc., the list can be continued indefinitely.
Well, use it with a serious expression on your face - like me in the photo

I look at the picture - and something is afraid of me for your hand

For the evening, apparently, a local native dish "Fingers stewed with pineapple"is planned.

Don't worry, I never hit

If you don't have a machete, which is better to take an axe or a hand saw-hacksaw?
Does anyone take fishing gear with them on a hike to get extra food? If so, which ones?

if necessary, you can replace the knife with an axe (personal experience) - this is if alone, if with a friend - one with an axe, the other with a hacksaw.

If you are not only an entomologist,but also a fisherman, then you should probably take a place in your backpack for a simple donkey.It happens that the whole day is overcast, butterflies do not fly,beetles do not crawl,and then the Mother Volga splashes.Well, the ear cooked on a campfire is delicious.
If you are not a fisherman, then you should not bother.

I am not a fisherman, but I look at fish as an additional source of protein and trace elements when hiking. Still, I think to buy fishing gear (donkey, as you advised), and catch fish in the late afternoon, when the daytime insects went to bed, and the night ones have not yet woken up.

... when the day insects went to sleep, but the night insects have not yet woken up.

At this time, it is best to set aside an hour and a half and sleep. In general, spending time on obtaining food resources is an unacceptable luxury.

at this time, it is better to walk along the bottom of the beam, the edge of the forest, etc. places and catch what does not fly into the light during the day, the same thin worms and a bunch of beetles

An entomologist sometimes "has to" become a fisherman. On long autonomous hikes, when you run out of food, the fishing rod helps out. I began to take it with me (telescopic, weight 300 grams with a coil) on hikes over the past two years and did not regret it. Ear, fish in foil... And, indeed, there is something to do on cloudy days, when the butterflies "sleep".

Wild Yuri
Similarly! I take a fishing line (10 meters), a couple of hooks and 2-3 weights. I cut out the fishing rod on the spot from improvised material.

Clean brag )))) Right now I will move to the planetary level

In general, I pressed and tested this planetary sleeve today!
Who can be intersenoed - these are its parameters

The name of the SHAME (well, the name ) T3, three speeds.

The gear ratios of the bushing itself are 1k1, 1k0. 5 and 1k0. 8
That is, this bushing only weakens the initial gear ratio of the sprockets by 2 and 1.3 times. The default position of the bushing switch is 1k1, and the planetark grid is jammed.

Switching speeds is absolutely transparent to the user - at any time, in any sequence, even standing, even driving-no difference, no special switch settings are required, choose the optimal cable length - and that's it.

The pedal brake is preserved, no disc or rim brakes are needed.

It weighs about 1 kg.

In general, you just put this bushing on the rear wheel of a bike, and you get a gearbox + a good old foot brake, and the lack of a bunch of cables and all sorts of mice, roosters and other animals that like to break and get dirty )))

For this bushing, if the cable breaks, the gear ratio will be 1k1, that is, the bushing is jammed in a straight line, the same can be done if the planetark suddenly breaks.

Just amazing, my congratulations, but just how does this relate to the topic of our forum (and the forum is not for amateur mechanics, please note, but for entomologists)?

This applies to those who ride a bike on hikes, and in general, in principle, in order to put a planetark on a bike, you don't need to be an amateur mechanic, I'm not one of them )))
Oh, the times have gone ))))) Narrow type of specialization, and by the way, this is the path to extinction

Ahhh, here's the thing, well, then why bother, who needs your bikes?
I prefer to drive this car on expeditions:

Mitsubishi L200, diesel.
Inline 4-cylinder engine, 2477 cm3, 136 hp, all-wheel drive.

You can also discuss who likes to fly on what planes, down with narrow specialization!

Machines are evil They pollute the environment and contribute to the development of adynamia
And this car also has a ground clearance(I hope you got it right)))) bad for off-road trips )

Well, those who fly on planes in the "expedition" - do not hang here

Let me tell you, how should I get to Tajikistan, Mongolia or Armenia, if not by plane? On foot, or by bike? Or should I "stop hovering" here, this is a branch for cyclists?
With the clearance of this car, everything is in order, apparently you have a wrong idea of the meaning of this word

Topic about personal equipment for hiking If you have a personal plane, then this is cool, you have come to success in the matrix)))

Where is the order there, that's right-the clearance is in order )))

I didn't see anything about "personal"in the title
And the ground clearance is yes, 2 centimeters will be typed, taking into account the approximate dimensions of the model

And this car also has a ground clearance(I hope you got it right)))) bad for off-road trips )

And you, the expert, I'm watching.
And what's wrong with the L200's ground clearance?

 
This is the car I prefer to drive on my expeditions:
Mitsubishi L200, diesel.
Inline 4-cylinder engine, 2477 cm3, 136 hp, all-wheel drive.

A test tractor, especially in the version with Super Select transmission
It's a pity only the body is open, kung is needed.

There was no option with kung in the rental office in Yerevan, we put things there, tied everything with ropes and covered it with a film from the rain) But in the back without kung ride fun!)

Well, according to the descriptions of everyone there 20cm. Let it be a good one.
But the same niva 4x4 is better By the way, I was told about this by the "competent authorities", this is me about niva, that they say, she eats where any JEEP gets stuck

gago.
have the competent authorities heard about the UAZ, for example?
The passability of the car depends not least on the padding between the steering wheel and the seat, because stupidity can not only drown the tank, but also ... crystal break.

The authorities hear about everything But praise what is available)))
I found some good information for experts here

http://auto.aggress.ru/cars/all/maxclearance/

By the way, as I was returning from another trip in a regular intercity bus, I was riding in the back seat, and then I look, everyone is staring at me, I don't even know what to suspect)))
And then I accidentally turned around and there.. hummer in the tail is coming! And everyone's staring at him. Type of such that at the head of the link, it is better only this very UAZ ))

here is a real transport

[attachmentid()=135708]

Real transport for hiking is the 11th number

gago.

Confirm. This device

I sat in various places (puddles, sand, estuaries, etc.), although the driver already has a solid experience...
Niva is better because it is lighter (there is no frame) and will slip where the heavier one will fail, but it also has a lot of disadvantages... In general, there are no perfect cars.

How I dreamed of such a car in Peru:

you swim along the river, where you want - you get out on the bank.

I recently bought a lighter "eternal match" for 50 rubles. It should be a convenient thing for hiking, I recommend it.

Well, what does this device give?
Ordinary matches were always used. You can fill the boxes with paraffin so that they don't get wet. A match rules your life.

Plus, you don't have to worry about getting the matches wet again. If the box is covered with paraffin, what will you strike a match about?

In many cases, a match can be lit on almost anything. Paraffin-the match "prochirkivaet" through. Yes, and matches on a hike are usually stored in cellophane or something else.
Or take a normal gasoline lighter (Zippo-shit: don't take it).
Here reliable and a relatively inexpensive lighter: the main thing is not to run into a fake.
I'm a long-time smoker, so I know.

You only need to think about matches once, packing them at home or soaking them with paraffin. And with this thing, you need to think constantly - carry it and fill it with gasoline, make sure that the cotton wick does not burn out, and carry spare wicks. And it is not known at all what else can fail there. And on a hike, either the wick gets lost or the gasoline leaks out - and you still have to get matches.
But this is true, theoretical reflections, maybe not everything is so bad.
I myself have been carrying matches for many years - an ordinary box placed in a plastic box with a tight, almost airtight lid. Soaked to the skin in the pouring rain - the matches remained dry.

The wick in it is made of a fireproof material. You carry gasoline with you to fill up the generator. And to fill such a lighter, you do not need a special cylinder with a tip, as for zippo lighters, for example. Matches can ruin the floor of the box while you light the fire, especially in wet weather. And here the tip burns evenly for several minutes at one point and there is no danger that you will burn your fingers. But if you are such conservatives, then please use matches as before.

Hmm, I think the critics of this device are clearly ill-sighted The fact is that this thing is essentially a flintlock, that is, a source of sparks, it can ignite a lot of things, even if there is no gasoline! Various vegetable fluff, for example. So the thing is good, I would take, of course matches should also be taken, at least in order to cauterize the bites of karakurts)))
