>Every time I log into Facebook I see people sharing shit like collapsable reusuable straws, portable cardboard ovens and tents built to withstand almost any environment
>Everyone thinks it's the coolest shit ever
Are we being pushed into finding a frugal life admirable so we don't realize how bad we have it? Please don't just say yes
What the fuck kind of tent is that?
It's your future house
>not living frugally
yes
I do live frugally, in fact I'd be entirely a one-bagger if it weren't for my desktop. But I'm starting to think I might have been manipulated into it considering how much of this shit I see on Facebook.
You suspended it between a few trees like an oversize, retarded hammock
>cardboard oven
No way thats real
Do you have to sleep like that so the drop bears don't get you?
I don't know why but I have such hate for these square videos with text.
Sorry m8 it's real
Its the "Im a trendy faggot who wants to say hes an outdoorsperson but Imdeathly afraid of bugs and snakes and sleeping on the ground is bad for my frail spine" tent. Aka the faggotent
I'll take being encouraged to spend carefully over being encouraged to buy expensive shit I don't need
Don't be butthurt. Those tentsile connects are comfy af.
BRAINWASHING
More like they're being primed for survivalism & don't know it yet
I bet the fucking thing is 10x overpriced too.
It's because they're designed for a short attention span scrolling down a feed. It's the same reason why trailers that play a 5 second splash before the actual trailer are fucking annoying.
Lol here's a broke fag who has to sleep on the ground. Kys
You are only a few feet off the ground. If anything, it would keep the creepy crawlies away.
Could you suspend it higher than that? Sure. But now you have to consider the means of getting into and out of your suspended tent.
>not living frugally and investing the money you earn rather than spending it on reusable straw tents
>not working towards a self sustainable life just so you can be free of the jew
Get a fucking garden you moron.
>self-sustainable life
never gonna happen because I love computers too much
>you have to sleep on the ground when you can just try some ropes to the tree and not sleep on the ground
why?
>falling for the suspended jew
>Are we being pushed into finding a frugal life
Just use your brain, Mohammed.
Why do you think tiny houses and vans are so popular now? The cost of living is sky high and Millennials earn peanuts. Also, there's a sizeable chunk of the population that subconsciously or consciously recognises that shit is going to get tough sooner or later. This is why people are attracted to these solutions for self-sufficient living.
hobo stove is the best stove, you don't need to spend money on it just find an old can
how is living frugally a bad thing you fucking queer?
No, that's just your bubble bro. Either your friend are retards, or the Facebook algorithm thinks you're a sucker for that shit.
Probably both.
Because it's not a choice anymore, it's a necessity. That's why it's bad.
Hope your house is suspended off the filthy ground
Is that a bad thing? Fuck this decadent consumerist bullshit. The frugal movement is pretty nice.
>shit is going to get tough sooner or later
when the debt per taxpayer reaches 221k yes
It's not, but OP is a retard. It's a symptom of our social decline. But yea, I'm sure the managerial elite would be much happier to have all the servile Millennials be satisfied to live in tents without complaining instead of rioting in the streets for a pay raise.
One of the other consequences of this is that it promotes a nomadic
and sterile lifestyle.
Thanks for your input and criticism of a managerial elite, Communist. I really hope your flag is ironic.
It is, I have a nice foundation.
>leaving yourself open to the Turkish while you sleep.
> I really hope your flag is ironic.
I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that it is.
Okay well in future try not to reword what other people say whilst pretending you're saying something completely different. It makes you look stupid.
>still using Facebook
I don't know how you can do it man.
Hasn't mountain hardware had a really cheap, nearly indestructible tent for almost 30 years now?
Family, although my mum quit Facebook years ago. She was ahead of the game.
It is because stuff like this is one of the last ways to be able to publicly signal as white. Normies can't just come out and say they like family culture and it is great to be around your people, but if you are showing that you have these extreme preparatory items or niche items you are saying, yes, I am white over here, please find me fellow white people.
its targetted advertisements based on your pattern of input. You probably are experiencing feedback.
I live in a house suspended on columns.
Have fun with your shit getting flooded, ground plebs.
>how bad we have it
Man, it sure is nice to have the luxury of being delusional about the level of comfort in your life.
Cold. For as cold as the ground is I would rather be on it and insulated from it by a good foam pad and a sleeping bag than suspended in air where convection and wind will rob me of my heat from all angles.
I have -£3 in my bank account and I was born into a single mother family who was 16 years old at the time. Get some perspective on how shit the world is for some people.
Maybe you've been watching too much Alex Jones and it's all targeted advertising
So it's not rated for drop bears?
>cool shit
>frugal
this shit is for yuppies. when I go camping I build a lean-to out of branches and and leaves, or at most bring a tarp and some rope.
Joke's on you I live on the 157th floor.
>flag
checks out
>when u see these threads on Jow Forums and not /out/
In my honest opinion I don't think it's being pushed for an agenda. I think people look at that stuff and say, "Oh cool I could use that and be a survivalist", or "Oh isn't that neat what that person came up with? My friend would like to see that." So they share it to their friends and spread it, but it never really stays in their mind. Survival/minimalist stuff has always been a viral hit with Kikebook. I bet the people posting that stuff don't use it for anything other than the views.
I hike and camp to get away from minorities. Nature is the last bastion of the white man.
Do you need a license for it?
Weak banter but I got a threatening letter the other day for not paying my TV license despite not having a TV so there's that
Your toaster self identifies as a TV, got a pay your license mate.
This guy gets it.
That fucking foldable straw is the dumbest shit I've ever seen but it keeps being shared.
M8 if you watch tv on the internet you got to pay your tv loicense m8.
I don't get it. They're fun for kids.
yeah but I don't, I pirate instead
You do know that they can also climb the suspeding elements? Even more so if they are attached to trees in which most creepy crawlies live.
There's nothing wrong with living frugally. Most people pushing this pseudo-frugal bullshit though aren't actually wanting a frugal lifestyle. They probably enjoy the aspirations of a cheaper lifestyle but would probably rather live in a big home with plenty of first-world amenities and drive luxurious vehicles.
My experience with this came with an ex-wife. She aspired for a frugal way of life. She was guilty of pushing the whole container-home/tiny house fad on me and getting me to believe that materialism wasn't the avenue to true happiness. However, she'd routinely belittle me for not having 'enough' money and hassle me regularly for being unable to fully support her. It was a young marriage and we were both in school at the time (I was 22; she was 20). After we divorced she started dating some dude that worked a blue-collar type job and was able to be completely financially independent from his parents. Eventually I graduated from my tech program (EMT) and I got a full-time job while keeping my retail job I had throughout the marriage part-time. She caught wind of this and came crawling back to me and even cheated on the guy she was currently involved with. There were a lot of other problems that we had though (mostly me being a beta piece of shit with no backbone when she would hassle me) and we eventually broke up.
4 years later, she's with a 40 year old man who owns a half-million dollar home and drives two accessorized off-road vehicles. She didn't give a shit about the frugal lifestyle. She only wanted to aspire to it at the time because of her current life setting at the time. She was ready to drop all that budgeting at the first chance she got and it's good that I didn't end up having any children with her or that we didn't last longer than a year in a marriage because shit would have sucked had she left me and pinned everything financially on me. I actually ended up losing a lot of money just by continuing in the relationship.
Can't do that without a loicense m8.
I wish I could get a lettre of marque today and go raid spics or chinks. Or sink muzzie refugees in the Mediterranean.
I liked living the extravagant life, but I realized the "best price/performance" lifestyle is the life for me.
I have a modest PC, a well rounded car, and I like having everything modular. I saved a lot of money doing this too.
I can afford to pay a premium cost for top shelf items/services, but the novelty wears off fast
Wow. Just wow. If you only knew how bad it really was. I had to stare at this abomonation for a bit until I figured out what was up.
This is a "Leave No Trace" Tent.
A REAL MAN wants to leave a trace of his passing. Like building a Pyramid, or carving his face in a mountain. People who design and use this should be euthanized.
live frugally when you need to, if you want to live beyond your means, expand your means.
You've obviously never gone camping before.
Suspended tents make the experience much comfier.
>Are we being pushed into finding a frugal life admirable so we don't realize how bad we have it?
No, they're pushing frugal as a fashion item to sell you barebones stuff for triple the price. Actual frugality, as in a modest homestead and only purchasing what is necessary and lasts, is something the jew despises because it costs him money.
>sleep in suspended tent
>bear sneaks up and bats you so hard your tent twists shut like a burrito
>can no longer escape whilst the bear keeps repeatedly striking you with it's claws extended making each slash more painful and deadly
>nothing you can do about it
>hoboposting this hard
Please God, make it so. When I go out prospecting, I can see where prospecyers 100 years ago had their tents , and it tells me where the gold is. These new male faggots in charge of Forrestry and B.L.M. want us to " leave no trace" yet fawn over tin can trash my dad dumped in the wash just 50 years ago.
Currently they are targeting a niche market that will buy their over priced junk and use it once or twice maybe even not at all.
The elites are trying to eliminate the middle class though. Walmart has this perfected. Their wageslaves turn around and spend the crumbs they get paid right back into the store plus with some government assistance.
